19 Best American Restaurants in Upland

“one of those low-key neighborhood spots that quietly becomes your “how did I not know about this?” place. I came in for breakfast and left thinking, “Okay… so we’re coming back for lunch too.”

First off: the vibe is classic, cozy, and unpretentious—clean tables, a steady hum of regulars, and staff who greet you like you’ve been eating here for years (in the best way). Service was quick without feeling rushed, which is exactly what you want when coffee is still doing its job.

Food-wise, everything felt made-to-order and generously portioned. The breakfast plate in the photo—eggs smothered in a bright, chunky salsa with beans and melted cheese—hits that perfect comfort-food zone: warm, savory, and surprisingly balanced. The salsa has real tomato-and-chile character (not that watery “red sauce” situation), and the beans are creamy enough to scoop up with every bite. Add the dollop of sour cream and it’s basically breakfast therapy.

Then there’s the breakfast sandwich + hash browns combo. The bun is soft, the egg is fluffy, the bacon brings the salt-and-smoke, and the cheese does what cheese is supposed to do: glue happiness together. The hash browns are the kind you keep “sampling” until you realize you accidentally ate half the plate.

And because it’s Molly’s Souper, you can’t not try soup—even at breakfast. The lighter broth soup (with carrot and veggies) is clean and comforting, and the creamy one in the little cup is rich without being heavy—perfect “I want something cozy but I still have a day to live” energy.

Overall: hearty breakfast, genuinely friendly service, and that rare feeling you get when a place is consistent and cares. If you’re in Upland and want a solid, satisfying meal that doesn’t try too hard, Molly’s Souper is an easy yes.“

“Great 😊 service. Outdoor eating is awesome 👏“

“The food and service were both amazing!!“

“My mom and brother and I went to The Heights for lunch, and we enjoyed everything about it, the vibe, my chicken marsala was delicious, mom had cranberry turkey sandwich and loved it, brother had the dill salmon, he loved it. My only complaint is, it can get a little loud when the place gets full of customers. Yes half of it is a bar, but overall, we will be going back, great place!!“

“This spot is a true gem. Everything I tried was tasty and satisfying. The servings are massive and the prices are very fair, so you really feel like you are getting great value. The Hat is a reliable choice, and every item from the chili to the pastrami is packed with flavor. You really cannot go wrong here.“

“Love love this place. Very yummy food it’s like home made food. If you didn’t try it you are missing out. My favorite place to eat ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“My son said “The service was so fast and had the best ham I had ever eaten also the bacon was perfect!”“

“I gave the food a 4 ⭐️ because I asked for medium on the burger & no tomato. The burger came out a little past medium and it had tomatoes on it. The margarita was fye it’s called the big Cadillac. Bartender waiters was on point no complaints there.“

“There are very fiew places that make exceptionally great food. This place starts with amazing beans. 1000 stars. This a an update to a previous review. They are willing to make custom burritos. I requested a chili of my preference. They made a custome carne asada burrito with morita chili peppers. The best burrito I have had in 30 years. The last time I had a burrito this good was when I was in Texas right at the Mexico/Texas border.“

“🙂👍 Yessie does a great job!“

“Just having a good time for a Friday night.“

“Excelente servicio y calidad en sus productos, recomendable y recomendado ampliamente!!!!“

“Great service and great appetizers“

“I got hungry at 2 am, went to The Upland IHOP and to my surprise, I thought it would be not a good idea, I was wrong. I watch the server, Jarett run around like he had a super cap on! He had a full area with 4 people coming in all at the same time We did. He took our order, served us, was the cashier, bussed our table, plus cleaned his area while the food came out….Wow! was I impressed. If I was hiring, I would have recruited him on the spot. He was polite, while giving great service to everyone there, I was so impressed. The food was great, but how wonderful to know great customer service still exists. This young man should be praised for representing IHOP! Thank you Jarett for a great early morning experience. You did an amazing job. I had to ask him if he was the Manager, he held those great work ethics. If you want good late night/early morning food, IHOP Upland is the place to go!

“Nice big store! Plenty of room and we didn't have to wait. I had gotten used to going to a different location with a tiny parking lot and a seemingly endless line even with a reservation. This was a welcomed change! I think we will go here from now on.“
