Family Restaurants near San Dimas, CA

“Easily my favorite diner in the San Dimas area. It’s a traditional American diner right in the heart of downtown San Dimas on what looks like good old-fashioned Main Street America. Parking in this area is extremely easy, there is a parking lot in the rear, but we were able to find a free space right out front. Inside is also very large with many different seating areas and seating options. Our waitress was extremely polite and everything that we ordered came out fast and at a fair price.

The menu is really large and filled with all sorts of great American diner classics. I had heard so much about their Chicken Fried Steak and overheard many other diners ordering it before me so that’s what I chose for my breakfast and I was extremely satisfied with it. It was a large cut of meat and it had great flavor. The eggs were also cooked perfectly and I really enjoyed them. I got a biscuit on the side, which was pretty small, but the flavor was really nice, I just wish it was larger in size.

Overall I would suggest to any diner fan in the area.“

“Update May 2026 was seated right away ordered meatballs and pasta with Alfredo sauce, chips, salsa and guac and barbecue wings. Wings came out great with great blue cheese and carrots and celery. Alfredo came out great with good meatball a little too much bread though enough to stuff a turkey the chips, salsa and guac was plentiful, but the guacamole did not have really any flavor. The ribbon sandwich we ordered with onion rings. The onion rings were good we asked for a side of ranch the Reuben sandwich looked like it was on life-support not the traditional Roscoes that you remember from the past. Sent back to Rueben, but they still charge me for the ranch dressing which we did not need anymore. Got the ribs full rack. Flavor was good as for a side of barbecue, but it came out cold. The ribs were a little bit thin on the meat the potato salad was good. The baked beans were a little bit watery. Overall, the meal was a 6.5 out of 10.Food was good and filling, pazookie was huge, great service by Devon and staff“

“Delicious steak and eggs. I ordered the ultimate omelette and no complaints! It was magnificent! Loaded with all the fixings, and the side options for potatoes include hash browns, western or red. The red potatoes are incredible! Toast is always perfectly toasted and the biscuits and gravy are spiced to perfection! Coffee is enjoyable, just strong enough. Friendly and attentive staff. Welcoming dining area with well padded booths. Definitely a new weekend favorite to relax and enjoy breakfast.“

“We have been coming here for a couple years and the customer service is great, Cindy makes you feel special and is always attentive to our needs and everyone around us , her friendly smile and great service makes us keep coming back. The best cooks are there in the kitchen making flavorful dishes like nowhere else at a decent price. Place is always clean, stopt by if youre in the Pomona area.“

“My family picks up here at least once every week and I can’t say enough positive things about it. As a fitness nut, it’s important to me to have healthy options and so I often find myself ordering from chicken shops. Since discovering Rostichicken I have stopped going to other shops. The chicken here is fantastic and is very tender; I can pull the skin off to save calories or leave it on to enjoy the crispy skin. The price is also competitive and less than Pollo for higher quality food.

Additionally, the staff is fantastic. They are so welcoming and seemingly in a great mood. They remember me and my daughter, always encourage her to talk, and often give her extra rice which she loves. It all means a lot to myself and my wife but I assure you… I wouldn’t come back if the food was bad. 😉“

“me & my husband plan to eat at Norms unfortunately they were temporarily closed ,so we decided to go penny restaurant. I’m so glad we try their breakfast today , portions good enough for my tummy ,I ordered the French toast and eggs it was crispy around the edges it was so good n yummy and my husband ordered the pancakes and wedges potatoes, the pancakes so fluffy big n soft, I also like the way they cooked the potatoes it felt like home made type n different then harsh brown , inside so clean service good n cozy atmosphere felt like I’m out of town!“

“We love this place so much, we will have to come back. It’s very clean, staff is super friendly and respectful. We felt at home and enjoyed our meal so much that we wanna write review and recommended it. We drove from Fontana to here and it’s worth the trip for sure. If you’re into seafood then def check out this place. The grilled oysters and lobster roll are our favs!“

“I ordered tacos gobernador and I was very disappointed. It's not good at all, and i couldn't even see the shrimp. I'm not sure if they were chopped very finely or what. But we also ordered a botana, and that was delicious. Also, the waiter was too busy watching a soccer game on TV then taking care of us.“
