“This place absolutely SLAPPPPPEED.
The chicken was cooked great, and the flavor was aaeeeeom. I got the chicken sandwich and blue cheese and buffalo fries
10/10 recommend coming here!”
“Our 2nd dinner here, and we'll continue to come back. First time was Valentine's Day meal that we loved so much that we took our college-age children and their significant others for a special birthday meal. They were impressed with the food, the presentation, the wine, the service, the view, all of it, and said they plan to also come back for special event meals. Hidden gem! Menu selections are creative, memorable, delicious and priced better than any other place around that serves food of this level. Service is friendly and attentive. Cal Poly Pomona students do the work at RKR, and it feels good to support the cause. Usually only open part of the year when college courses are in session, but we're excited to hear from our server that there are plans to expand service to summer also. A professor from the college was on hand to oversee the experience and was delightful & gracious to talk with and learn from (her knowledge of wine is extensive & informative).”
“Pretty good selection of micro-brews. It may be a little smaller than the offering they had when they were located a few doors down at the corner of Gary & 2nd, but it's good enough. I've now forgotten the wheat ale I ordered, but it was local and it was good. The brisket sandwich I ordered was outstanding. We must have hit the bartender at a bad moment because when we arrived he didn't seem too keen on our arrival. When I asked what beer was new or something he could recommend, he kind of blew me off. Thought it kind of odd. But, he did come around and grew pretty chill as our lunch progressed. Chalk it up to a bad moment that I don't think had anything to do with us. All in all, I like the Rookery; hanging out on the back patio with a microbrew and a sandwich was exactly what I was looking for.”

“Best mexican vegan restaurant! I love how authentic the food is and the variety of options. The staff is so polite and friendly. My family is not vegan and they loved it. Tastiest food you wont regret it! It is worth the 40ish minute drive I make to eat some delicious food.”
“Absolutely amazing experience at Gorgansons! The vegan food was an absolute bomb packed with flavor, fresh ingredients, and generous portions. The vegan fish tacos were delicious, crispy, and loaded with fresh toppings. The vegan burger was equally impressive and full of flavor.
A special shoutout to Mark, the owner, for being so welcoming and creating such incredible vegan options. It’s not always easy to find vegan food that’s this satisfying, but Gorgansons definitely delivers. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere.
Highly recommend to anyone looking for delicious vegan eats. We’ll definitely be back!

“Came in on a Friday night, found them through some positive google reviews and did not disappoint. The bowls and portion sizes are very generous for what you pay and most importantly food is fresh/delicious. The owners and staff are very friendly, very much looking forward to coming back weekly.

“This is an amazing little Mediterranean joint. The food was some of the best Mediterranean food I’ve had in the area. I ordered the chicken Shawarma wrap combo. The chicken Shawarma was served in the traditional way and I haven’t tasted anything better. The hummus was fresh and that’s the best way to have it. I am definitely going back again!”
“This restaurant is absolutely phenomenal. The atmosphere is warm and friendly which is evident from all interactions with every staff member. The food and service are excellent in every sense of the word. The bread and baklava were made fresh! The Turkish Delights were phenomenal. The owner and staff went to great lengths to make us feel comfortable and welcome, explaining the menu items in detail. We are so excited to have come across this gem!!! It is the type of culinary and cultural experience that my husband and I treasure. We will be coming again soon, both with and without friends! We can’t wait to try some of the items on the patio grill. :)”
“5ive X 5tars for Thai Orchid Garden, where I've enjoyed excellent food and customer service for twenty years! The intimate atmosphere is warm and personalized service is over the top. Highly, I recommend this long-time local jewel! Thank you, Thai Orchid Garden for your consistent, wonderful presence in the community. You are appreciated! 💛 ❤ 💓”
“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 went there for Dueling Pianos and Dueling Burlesque and it was an amazing experience. The food was delicious and the drinks were strong. the Pianist was so funny and will recommend it to friends. The venue has easy parking and the service was fantastic. they have several rooms that are available for weddings and private events. I highly recommend this venue in Pomona”

“My boyfriend and I came to Lily’s Tacos after my sister, who lives nearby, recommended it to us. It was our first time here, and we were definitely not disappointed! The food was amazing. I ordered the combination taco plate, and my boyfriend got five tacos. The asada was flavorful and cooked perfectly, and the horchata was absolutely delicious. We cleaned our plates and enjoyed every bite. We would definitely recommend this spot and will absolutely be coming back!”
“We've always picked Claremont Village for classier nights out, and Downtown Pomona where most of the divier bars and dance clubs are, if we want to get DOWN. Although I do enjoy a good ratchet nightlife experience once in a while, Acerogami is the nicest bar in the downtown area and worthy of taking guests to. I've actually never been to the Glass House, but I love going to this attached bar. It's a pretty, very spacious layout with perfect lighting, a minimalist and nice ambiance without being too fancy. The bartenders are nice and laid-back. The drink prices are amazing and far from Claremont drink prices, too! A must-visit if you are planning a night out in the area”

“The server the was so lovely. Our food was incredible. It was out so quickly. The aqua Jamaica was so delicious. The place was huge. But it felt very homey. Highly recommend the combination platter with Chile rellenos, taco dorado with nopales, and a bean and cheese enchilada. Rice was cooked perfectly. I'd go back!”
“I stopped by recently and it was exactly what I was craving. The asada fries were absolutely loaded and packed with flavor, easily some of the best I have had in a long time. The mini tacos were just as satisfying and made with great attention to detail. They are generous with their portions and the service was genuinely warm and respectful. Overall, a fantastic experience and definitely a place I would happily recommend. Five stars without a doubt.”
“Had my Birthday dinner last week here. My husband took me for a surprised dinner at this place. We had sumptious, delightful food (kudos to the chef), loved its rusty-cozy ambiance, the overlooking view. Excellent overall even no complimentary..just kidding😉🙃😅😁 Highly recommended.”
“What !!!!!! All the way around excellent ? Bartender Nelson was the greatest., super great service, drinks delicious, pizza delicious ? we just loved it, we do not need to go all the way to LA to be in a trendy beautiful looking place like this. Thank you guys we will be back .”
“Great place 👌 food and service was amazing, we had the chicharones de pescado savor y textura mui excellent
Micheladas were on fire definitely will come back again”
“This place was fantastic! Small dining area but we came in with a baseball team (20 people) filled up their booths and slammed the kitchen. They handled us like champs and with a smile. Portions were plentiful, come with an appetite. Breakfast was amazing. You will not be disappointed…GO TRY IT OUT!!!!”
24 Hour Restaurants
“It was 1: 30 am 8/10/25 on Saturday night to Sunday morning. With that being the case I didn’t expect much when I pulled up to the drive through. From the moment I pulled up to the speaker until I received my food and drive off I experienced the kindest and most professional service i have ever received at a fast food establishment. The service was fast, inviting, and convenient. The food was delicious. Like Carl’s Jr has always said. “If it doesn’t get all over the place, it doesn’t belong in your face.”
“We visited around 3pm and the women were very helpful with us and the elderly couple behind us in line who did not know how to use their debit card. The food was great and the fresh fries made it so much better. I like the table arrangement at this location, plus the sitting space is bigger at the booths. I will visit this Jack in the bkx location again.”
“Food was good & they had good deals for happy hour. I definitely recommend this place.”

“Thank you, personally from my heart for the fast service and last minute order gallon of potato salad, it was super good !! Compliments from others who at the bacwurst barbecue went well, were from Wisconsin, yum! Again thank you cousin Janet🤩 I will Definitely put the word out !”
“I love how tasty their food is. I had the Lafta wrap and a Kafta plate. The way I devoured it all was insane. The flavors were great, the food was fresh, and the restaurant is kept very clean and tidy. The bread in unreal and tastes so good from their oven. I absolutely loved this place and I loo forward to coming back!
Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp right by the entrance!”

“Where do I start. Location is off the Main Street never busy( but should be more) the couple who run it are very nice and welcoming. The look is AMAZING and the food is the same ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‼️. Must come and see for your self and you won’t be disappointed. My go to is the beef ramen 👍🏼Cheers 🥂”
“Good respectful environment here the cashier is very polite and patient with our order. I combined the passion fruit tea with peach and black tea, y mira, 👌 it's made perfectly.They have that good matcha here too. It tastes like matcha not too grassy because they add the perfect amount and mix it correctly. The popcorn chicken is a must a tiny bit spicy but my daughter loved it too much she ate everything. Went home and paired those leftoves with some pancakes and syrup. The gift that keeps on giving. The fried chicken wings with, i believe it was thai sauce, were delicious as well. Try this place they add the love here.”
“Tried NBC for my first time today. The food was good, fresh, hot, and a good amount. I love the price as well. But I'd have to give them a 4.5 this time, ONLY because I ordered 2 egg rolls & when I arrived home they weren't in the bag... I'm sure it was a simple mistake. I will be bk to try again, hopefully I'll get compensated for my egg rolls 😎... All in all good food”
“The pizza is really good and it is a nice affordable price!
You can get a personal pizza lunch special for 6.99$ that is filling and comes with a drink. Also they have a walk in deal for a large one topping pizza. I suggest walking in to order :) 10/10 my new favorite pizza spot!”
“The drive through line was extremely long wait time. it was longer than standard. the brief interaction I had with the lady at window was fine. I ordered a pastrami sandwich fries and drink. The pastrami was tasty but was not cut up enough. Every time I took a bite large pieces of pastrami would slide out the sandwich and I would have to hurry up and eat. They really should chop it smaller. the fries were surprisingly tasty normally places like this the fries are limp and tasteless or heavily season salted but these were perfect. I am never in this area but if I happen to be out there I'd try again.”
“I was looking for a place nearby on my lunch break - and was craving teriyaki. Price is decent for portion. I got a chicken and beef teriyaki bowl, and the food was very savory. I just wish they added a scoop of veggies to make it a more balanced meal. But still tasty.”
“Good prompt service and good food, stopped by for a quick dinner of some sushi rolls and they did not disappoint. Was in and out with a couple beer and a couple specialty rolls within 30 minutes on a Sunday night. I will be back.”
“The best! The Valentines menu was to die for. The dessert was outstanding, probably the best I ever had.”

“Kitty makes good cakes And you can make them vegan!
I ordered from her for birthdays.
I like that I can just text her what I want and then just go pick it up :)”
“Both the savory food and panderia were delicious. We ordered 2 goat birria, 1 beef birria and 1 suadero taco. The flavors were excellent, the meat quality was great, the tortillas and salsa were hand made. And the tacos were large size, not small Tijuana tacos. I also ordered a pambazos which was crispy, flavorful and succulent. We tried 10 kinds of pan dulce and everything was fresh and affordable. We will definitely be back”
“BOMB!
They never fail me!
Best aguas frescas and tacos I have ever had!
I recommend you get the grilled onions/jalapeños!
My favorite aguas are the cucumber, Mango and pineapple!
Add cheese to your carne asada tacos, life changer :)
Reasonably prices :) they also have Taco Tuesday specials
The staff is always friendly!”
“We stopped by here late Sunday night. Lots of people singing karaoke. Music was good and some dancing. Best micheladas I had in Pomona. Had molcajete very delicious”
“Place is in a little sketchy area and the inside leaves a little to be desired, but the bartenders are friendly, drinks were well made and prices were reasonable. They have promotions and they have a karyoke wendsday which is fun. Low food rating is because they have snacks (nachos and hot dogs , also reasonably priced) and a vending machine (expensive) not a fan of the smoking indoors but it doesn't bother me much tbh. By the end of the night I was singing and having a great time. It is what it is a community watering hole just to meet up hang out and drink.”
Cheap Eats
“El Rinconcito de Doña Mary is absolutely amazing! I had the enmoladas with a pellizcada and everything was delicious. The food tastes truly homemade and authentic, just like traditional Mexican cooking. The service was very attentive and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. You can really taste the quality and love put into every dish. Highly recommend if you’re looking for authentic homemade Mexican food!”
“I came into lollicup today looking for a drink, but what I didn't know is I would find is love and a hint of lust. The employee who armed the register was so delicious i got nervous and rode away on my scooter. She saw me fall on the cement and loose two of my front teeth. Don't worry my grandma is getting veneers and i'll be back for my true love.”
“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.”
“I travel to work and like to look up cute places to eat. Mi Cafecito was not only cute but located in the art colony which is beautiful ♥️. The atmosphere is chic and the coffee out of this world! Of course noshing on Apple empanadas and Mexican conchas didn’t hurt either😉. Highly recommended and reasonable prices🥰”
“UPGRADED TO FOUR STARS ON 3/20/26
This time I went for Friday Lenten fish lunch and ordered cod. I took my time to savor the coating and the fish. Coating was definitely southern in style (not English batter) and had good flavor with a hint of spiciness to it. Not salty like before either or cornbread heavy. Very balanced. Fish was a bit thin but the portion was generous in the number of pieces (5). The hush puppies had a bit of bite to them from perhaps a green pepper. French fries were good. Tarter sauce good but would have liked more for the large portion of fish. Will definitely come back and I now recommend! Only reason for a four star rating was that I had to wait an hour for my order (I left and came back) and the portion of tarter sauce was too small.
EARLIER REVIEW
First time here and will likely be my last. Ordered the lunch special with fried cod, which was reasonably priced $9.75, including a drink. Meal included fried cod, hush, puppies, fried shrimp, french fries, a very small amount of tartar sauce, hot sauce and ketchup. Batter on the cod and shrimp was cornmeal, and had a bit too much black pepper in it. Cod was tasteless and overwhelmed by the batter. Shrimp had a bit more flavor but were very small. Hush puppies were tasty but not the reason why I came here. Overall, a charming location with a lot of history, but whose time has likely passed.”
“As long as I can remember we has always purchased our cakes here and I recently my husband and I purchased our wedding cake from here and it was a hit. Everyone asked where we purchased it I have never been able to find any other place that can come close to the cakes here…..”
Latest Reviews
“The best Vietnamese Restaurant in California. Even the fried rice was amazing, in fact the best I have ever had including restaurants in China and in Vietnam (I traveled there several times). I lived in Arcadia and Temple City and have visited many Chinese and Vietnamese restaurants, nothing can compare to the food in this place. The staff is also cute and friendly.”

“Delicious! I ordered the beef and shrimp teriyaki and the beef teriyaki plates, absolutely loved it. Generous portions on both plates and they are not shy with the shrimp portions you get. I got fried rice with one plate and it was one of the better fried rices that Ive had. Please support this place so it sticks around!”
“I love the whole building itself to come and work for free. The cafe creates a welcoming and warm experience to come rest with a friend, read , or meet for work. Staff is kind and welcoming. When staff feels welcoming I think it brings the stress down. Almost like you want to feel when you go to a friend’s house. Relaxed.”
“Wow. I had the best ever date shake ever!
I was driving down the Holt Ave and saw a pop-up tent selling medjool date shakes!!
I ordered 5 cups for the family and everybody just loved it. It was creamy like the in-n-out shakes and so flavorful!! 100% recommended!”
“I love that they opened a branch near by and allow me to bring my dog to take my order!! I come very often. My husband loves their scones and I love their new chewy Dubai cookie and it’s at an extremely reasonable price which I appreciate considering how unique the pastries are! It’s a nice treat during times like this. We used to drive all the way to temple city! Hope this place stays”
“okay so picture this… im day 3 of getting ghosted and im literally going through the trenches. i’m crying .. its rough… i literally am in the saddest mood but i thought ‘let me go get starbucks before i head home.’ i go thru the drive thru and im blasting sad songs and when i pull up to order i see the video camera turned on and the sweetest lady with the sweetest most welcoming smile and was like hellooo how are you. and i instantly smile, it felt like a hug through the drive thru which is what i needed but didn’t expect at all. then i started crying in the drive thru because i just thought how silly it was that that small interaction made my entire mood better. THANK YOU ROXANNE YOU LITERALLY CHANGED THE START OF MY ENTIRE DAY 😭😭❤️”
