Lemongrass Asian Cuisine

★★★★☆ 3.9 (998) • $$

"I've ordered delivery from this place a few times and everything was always delicious. We finally decided to come in for dinner and it was even better. Service was amazing, all of our dishes were extremely tasty and our server Marcus was awesome. I highly recommend dining in. The ambience is beautiful and relaxing. Will be coming back soon."

El Torito

★★★★☆ 3.9 (982) • $$

"Walking into this place always feels like stepping into a long lost cousin's home. From the moment I walk in, Sol greets me with her infectious smile, (oh I oh they wouldn't have taken her cart away, bring back the cart) setting the tone for a welcoming experience. The new team member, Princess (Sofia) is a fantastic addition behind the bar attentive, without being overwhelming, striking the perfect balance. And I'm especially happy to see that Laura is still here. Her presence is a testament to the heart of this place she brings a sense of familiarity and care that keeps me coming back. Great team, great atmosphere always a delicious pleasure. El Torito life hack: Don't be overwhelmed by the buffet it's part of the fun! I like to get creative and make my own dishes. One of my favorites is a shrimp salad using the fresh lettuce and topping it with the best cilantro dressing. Another go-to is making my own birria tacos just ask the tortillera for some fresh hand made tortillas and grab the birria from the buffet line. Oh boy, it's delicious. The buffet is always well-stocked, so please be kind to the kitchen staff they work hard to keep everything fresh and ready for you!"

Mariscos El Guero Baja Style Ceviche Bar

★★★★☆ 4.3 (724) • $$

"I was craving some seafood and came across this place on yelp and now, this is my husband and my new favorite dinner date place. We love their fish tacos and they have Taco Tuesday special which is a great deal! We love their ceviche and also their horchata! Their Wednesday oyster special is another reason why we go there too. Not only you get delicious food here but we always get great service by all the staff there. Everyone is so friendly and we enjoy eating and watching some sports there. We bring my son and he likes to eat fish tacos and fries. I highly recommend this place if you love seafood."

The Blazin' Claw

★★★★☆ 3.6 (922) • $$

"I really enjoy going early on weekends because there's no wait time and they let you sit wherever you want. Make sure to order the popcorn chicken with the lemon pepper fries for appetizers as they are delicious. Highly recommend getting one of their combo deal as it's a good value if you want to try a variety of seafood."

Batter Rebellion

★★★★☆ 4.3 (644) • $$

"I finally got a chance to try Batter Rebellion after seeing all of their yummy Instagram posts. I came here for lunch with my best friend, who was visiting from out of town, and it offered the perfect location, outdoor/indoor views, and feel. We ordered their mimosa flight, and it did not disappoint. For food, I ordered a burger, but it was a bit too salty for my taste. The service was our favorite thing, aside from the mimosa flight. Our server was so attentive, and she even packed us water in to-go cups once we were ready to leave. Overall, I was pleased with our experience and hope to come back for some yummy brunch or paint night event!"

The Hive Wildomar

★★★★☆ 4.1 (644) • $$

"Was craving chocolate cake pretty late, and the Hive was open til 10pm so I got 2 slices of chocolate cake to go. Woooow!! It was sooo moist and delectable... so delish!! It's not overly sweet. It was just right but very rich cacao!! Vynikající dezerty!! I enjoyed every bite, but 2 slices was way too much for 1 person lol!I've yet to try their entrees here bc I've heard it was delicious (vynikající)!! For now, I'm raving about the chocolate cake bc it's worth writing about!!"

Greensleeves Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 4.2 (582) • $$$

"A little understaffed. Took while to get drinks replenished and attention of waitress. Other than that's Good food and atmosphere."

Toni's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 3.8 (663) • $$

"Toni's was recommended by a friend and it didn't disappoint! Friendly service, strong drinks, eclectic decor, fun music, and delicious food. We ordered the skinny margarita and combo plate with chile relleno, beef enchilada, and beef taco. Shout out to Billy! :)"

The Pub At Chino Hills

★★★★☆ 3.6 (712) • $$

"ALL HAIL THE CHEF!! We stopped by today at about 11:45, not too busy, with a few large groups dining. The front staff was pleasant, as always. The food took quite a while, but it was well worth the wait!! I must say, the carnitas Benedict and the duck chorizo chilaquiles were outstanding!! Come to find out, the chef was working alone, yet the food came out hot and on point!!You think the owners would have had a little extra kitchen staff on hand for the Mother's Day weekend. They should be giving the chef a bonus after today's amazing work!!Yes, chef!!"

Monaco's Pizza

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (819) • $$

"Not sure why I haven't heard of this place before and I'm sorry I've been missing it! Great food! Pizza is good and much bigger than you expect. Don't feel obligated to order the large if that's what you're used to. A medium might do you. Also, if you order pick-up, there's a separate entrance on the side. Weird, but the place is on the smaller side so I guess it keeps the main entrance uncluttered. A friend let me eat their day-old meatball sandwich leftovers. Reheated in the toaster oven and OMG! So good! I went in the next day and had a phenomenal dinner on the patio with my SO and dog. What an amazing experience! Service was awesome, food was incredible and the wine was delicious. It's now my go-to spot. Truly a new family favorite. Word to the wise... they have daily specials. If you have pizza lovers at home, check out the Thursday special. It can't be beat!"

Cara Mia

★★★★☆ 4.4 (429) • $$

"Original plan was to go to Soup 'n Fresh. After seeing the very long line, we decided not to wait in line so we stumbled upon Cara Mia.Since we already parked, we decided to give this place a try. Didn't know what to expect, but the restaurant is very cozy and welcoming.We were seated right away. Water arrived shortly with our breads and butter. We were so hungry that we devoured the warm and delicious breads after it hits our table.We then proceeded to order our foods. While waiting for our foods, we were pleasantly entertained by a lady singer. Her singing was quite entertaining. Every guests there enjoyed her performance.Before you know it, our foods arrived. We were pleasantly surprised by the large portions of each dishes.The foods were delicious and since the portions were more than we expected, we ended up taking the rest home.Overall, we enjoyed ourselves and would come back again in the future."

Kalaveras

★★★★☆ 4.1 (393) • $$

"Came here for lunch to meet up with a good friend I hadn't seen in a long time. It was Taco Tuesday for 99 cent tacos. I ordered the asada, pollo, and barbacoa plus a side order of rice. Their chips & salsa are so addicting! We had the same waitress from my last visit so I knew we'd have excellent service. I love the decor and the big screen TVs that grace many of its walls showcasing some music videos with great beats and the customary scantily clad women. Nevertheless, the food is consistently delicious. Their raspberry tea was very refreshing. No Margarita flights during this visit. This has become a new favorite eatery."

Cask 'n Cleaver Steakhouse

★★★★☆ 3.8 (449) • $$

"Great service great food we are making Cask or place to go at least once a week like an ol married couple love that for us"

Cock-A-Doodle Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.2 (365) • $$

"For many years this pace has been amazing! They deserve a review. I started going to the main dining room for a couple years. The food has been great. I discovered the back bar and started coming here for the majority of my visits. The staff works our butts off to make sure everyone is served properly and happily. Nothing locally has compared. This is the go-to place for service and food worth the price."

The Derby Room

★★★★☆ 4 (398) • $$

"First of all the food was awesome. I had the Prime Rib Dip... My friends had the Derby Berger and ate every bite. My other friend had a beef sandwich on marble bread and onions rings. But, this post is about the honesty of the employees at this establishment. I had a $50 dollar bill that I thought I shoved in my pocket. Apparently, it ended up on the floor. Our server "Leslie" came right after we left, saw the $50.. asked the customers at the next table if it was theirs-they said "no" ... Well, I called and said... Look, I know this is probably a lost cause. Leslie said... yes... I have it right here..Took my name and I said I could come by tomorrow. A huge thank you."

Mokkoji Shabu Shabu

★★★★☆ 4 (304) • $$

"We enjoy the food here and so does my 10 yrs old. We were there yesterday for lunch and realized a lot of customers have a hard time figuring it out. So I hope this will help. We always order the special for 2 beef sampler. You get a little bit of every type of meat. Includes 2 drinks/soju/beers & a small plate(appetizer). For the soups we get the tonkatsu(pork bone broth). Now if you don't get the meat marinated like us then ask for the garlic, radish, green onions condiments to add to your soup. I usually add the garlic and radish paste while adding the green onions into my dip sauce. If you like spicy don't forget the hot drops either in the soup or the dip sauce. For the dip sauce they will give you 2 kind (goma- peanut base sauce and ponsu-Japanese citrus based) we usually ask for 2 ponsu each. You will get a side of rice each and also veggies/udon. Desserts included. Now I don't think a lot of customers are aware but you do get a free refill side of rice, veggies and soup for your pot. This is enough for us with or without our son.It's a fun spot for a group or by yourself. It does get crowded during peak hours. Highly recommend."

Xavi's Cantina & Grill

★★★★☆ 4.2 (246) • $$

"Food is delicious. Service is good. I like this restaurant. Tried their shredded beef taco and cheese enchilada. Really good. Authentic and homemade. Staff is nice. Good people. Support this local family owned restaurant."

Lupe's Cocina & Cantina

★★★★★ 4.6 (171) • $$

"Went here tonight and had an amazing food and service experience! It was busy but we were able to be seated quickly during dinner rush on a Saturday which was amazing. The Chef/GM was so kind and so was our server Joseph. We had a bit of a snafu with one wrong order and a kids meal taking a bit longer than normal, but we were happy to wait. They came over multiple times to let us know how long it would take and even gave us a complimentary dessert. Absolutely amazing experience and I've already told multiple people about it. Definitely will be back!"

Chili's

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (416) • $$

"Hi everyone!I have eaten at this Chili's three or four times in the past couple of months. For the life of me, I can't imagine why this one gets such horrible reviews. I had lunch at this Chili's today. As most of you know, I eat out quite a bit. So, is Chili's fine dining? No, it is not. But I had today, and usually have, an excellent experience here.Let's start with the service.... My server today was Mike. He gave me incredible service! He was attentive without being pushy. My food came out hot and in a timely manner. And most importantly, for me, my drink was never empty! Good job Mike!Now to the food. I had the 3 for me combo. Chips and salsa. Smashburger and fries. And a bottomless ice tea. All for $10.99! . Come on. This is the deal of the century, when a fast food burger can be easily that price and more! The chip were good and a large portion. The burger was very tasty as were the fries. Again, good food and a great price!The restaurant itself was clean, as were the restrooms!What more can you want!Jim"

Pv’s Fresh Grill & Tequila

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (307) • $$

"While our greeter wasn't very talkative, see pic, our waiter made up for it in being attentive. I was catching up with a friend and this restaurant conveniently located between freeway interchanges and easy on/off the 215. However, the background music was a bit loud for holding a conversation.We shared the Nachos Deluxe. It had all the requisite toppings: refried beans, melted cheese, jalapenos, sour cream and guacamole. The guacamole was good and wasn't the overly processed, commercially produced variety."

Wyatt's Grill & Saloon

★★★★☆ 4.1 (168) • $$

"We were greeted at the entrance- and toured around. Huge outdoor seating area. Super family friendly location. Live band, big dancing area. We had wings and pizza, really yummy. Fill bar, the red wine was actually good!"

Diplomat La Verne

★★★★★ 4.8 (122)

"Came here to celebrate my birthday and everyone enjoyed the food. The beef fillet kebab plate was certainly the winner: get it medium and it's tender and flavorful. The chicken kebab was also tender too and it came in at a close second. If you order the combo for two it comes with the beef, chicken and luleb so it's a better deal at $34. All come with a huge serving of rice, a pita bread, and grilled tomato and chili. Nicely decorated inside and friendly service."

PV'S Fresh Grill & Tequila

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (242) • $$

"Muy bueno , lo recomiendo , y los cocineros siguen las instrucciones de como uno quiere su carne o plato"

Chili's

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (378) • $$

"We've been to this location plenty times and usually don't have the best experience. Today was the best service we have ever had at this location and it was all thanks to Brenda! She was so energetic, funny, knowledgeable, and efficient. She had so many tables at one time and she made sure each one had exactly what they needed before they even had to ask. The food is always good, we tried the Nashville mozzarella sticks as Brenda said they were great so we gave them a try and loved them! Not sure how long she's been here but we're happy to have had the chance to be in her section tonight. We hope she's here every time we come in from now on! Thanks again, Brenda!"

Chili's

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (349) • $$

"Angel is a great server, very attentive and accommodating. I enjoyed my food, but the Watermelon Lemonade and Margarita of the Month I had, were both, 2 thumbs down. Usually the margaritas hit the spot and give me a lil buzz off one, but the one I had on this visit, was not it!"

Chili's

★★★☆☆ 2.7 (357) • $$

"Located on Fir Ave. between Nason St. and Eucalyptus Ave. in the Target Shopping Center. We went here on Saturday evening and the wait was 20 minutes. The restaurant is clean and organized with a full sized bar. Plenty of TVs throughout showing live sports. I had their 6oz Classic Sirloin Steak, which is served with loaded mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. Food tasted great with fresh ingredients. Service was amazing. Shout out to our server, Jackie who was extremely attentive, making sure we were well taken care of throughout the meal. Overall, we had a great time at this location and will definitely return."

El Cerrito Mexican Grill & Cantina

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (237) • $$

"I was craving Mexican food, so this is the spot where my family likes to go. This place has such a welcoming atmosphere for families and for a simple date night. My family and I went on Sunday around lunch time, so it was pretty busy because they also had their lunch buffet going on. My parents ordered their usual, one item combo that comes with beans and rice. They usually order the chile relleño and enchilada. I decided to try something different. I ordered Tampiqueña Enmolada, carne asada topped with mole cheese enchilada. The carne asada was delicious and flavorful, but when I got to eating it together, something was a little too salty for me. It turned out to be the mole sauce because I've had their enchilada before and that's something I love ordering here. The service is great here. The servers are very helpful, always checking up on you. Knowledgeable with the menu and are good with the chips and salsa refills lol. Definitely recommend this place."

Serrano Vista Cafe

★★★★☆ 3.5 (210) • $$

"My breakfast was delicious. Love the steak and eggs here! Its almost like a homestyle feel in an upscale setting.And my server Vanessa was very kind and sweet. Not only did she check up on me, her service was prompt and pleasant! Ask for her she is great!So have enjoy a warm breakfast at Serrano Vista Cafe and remember to make reservations and tell them Ms. Ross sent you!"

The First Amendment a Pizza Joint

★★★★☆ 4.1 (112) • $$

"Pizza 8.0 got mine done a little extra well done. Great char on the crust , nice charred undercarriage. Great pizza sauce comparable to my other favorite pizza place(Paulie's) Wings 9.5. 5 x's better than any wing place around not like that trash place on Mountain across from Tequila Hoppers. . Buffalo sauce is actually spicy .Best wings in and around Chino , Ontario , Upland and Claremont. Nice rotating tap selection. Happy hour from 4-6 and during NFL FOOTBALL. Plenty of space with free arcade games for the kids along with a huge selection of board games. Service & ambience are the same. Great."

The Maverick Saloon

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (93) • $

"This place is the cutest! I love their live music on weekends!!! They have country line lessons and karaoke! It's not a huge bar but it's never too packed either so it's no big deal! People are friendly! I love the drinks that they make! Shelley makes the most amazing tequila sunrise! Ask for shelley!!!! Cutest country bar in norco!"

Third Street Tavern

★★★★☆ 4.3 (43) • $

"The bar is located nearby San Bernardino international airport. They have good food and drink specials. We went there on taco Tuesday and I tried their carne asada and chicken tacos and they were amazing!! Bartenders that work are very entertaining and super friendly. Oh, did I mention the beer prices? Definitely would go back to have a Corona and tacos!!"

Tukwet Canyon Bar and Grill

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (58) • $$

"Service was amazing!Place is very nice. I am vegan and the chef personalized a DELICIOUS portobello burger and garlic fries!Highly recommend this place. Nice view, great service, and yummy vegan and non vegan food!"

El Enchilado Bar & Grill

★★★★★ 4.5 (13)

"This establishment only opened recently, so I may have tried them on a day when they were still working out the kinks. The atmosphere is very nice. It's in an older part of Ontario and it's nice to see new restaurants opening to boost up and rekindle this area. My wife and I had breakfast and our son had tacos. The food was good, but a little pricey. The menu selection was ok. The service was great and she even asked us for our feedback. Anyway... Enchilado seems to be trying to find an identity... this seems more like a cool tequila bar not a place that serves breakfast. But what in the hell do I know??? If you're in the area give it a try!!!"

Omokase

★★★★☆ 3.8 • $$

"Always fresh! Great staff and service. Clean and plenty of parking. The Tiger roll is delish!!"
