Omg. This place is amazing. Not from the area but we stopped at the bank next door and decided to try this place. The food was so good. Hot and fresh. The catfish was delicious. Beautifully fried. The red beans and rice were very tasty. The corn bread was light, fluffy and buttery. The tea was insane. I had 2 refills of it! The star of the evening was this butter toffee cake. That is dangerous. The restaurant was clean and easy on the eyes. The service was exceptional. Super attentive and helpful and friendly. We'll definitely e back when in the area. read more

Best chicken and waffles I ever had in my life! Accidentally stumbled upon this place on our way to big bear and what a hidden Gem, everything's home made, grandmas recipe, grandson cooking in the kitchen. The owner was such a sweet generous guy. The service was definitely top tier. I will forever crave these homemade cinnamon waffles and the perfectly seasoned and breaded chicken. Thank you Troy and your families recipes for fueling our journey and our souls! read more

Beola's Chicken & Waffles - Barbeque Near Me - Upland, California

Beola's family owned business is the best soul food in the IE. Location: right off the 210 FWY Baseline exit. Located in Sycamore Hills Plaza with Union Bank and Whole Foods Market. Customer service was friendly and professional. There is plenty of room to sit down and enjoy your meal. The quality and taste of the food was delicious.

Let me say the service was A1. We were greeted once we walked in the door. They treated us like Rock Stars . The Catfish & Shrimp were seasoned with flavor and love! The Red Beans were a little spicy but I love spice. We will be back to. A True Hidden Gem in Upland. read more

If you're looking for hefty portion size, I would recommend. However, if you're looking for flavor...... the Mac and cheese did not have flavor. The look and taste was like noodles was miffed in a very milky cheese sauce. Collard greens was half decent. The brisket was fatty, nor did it have a barbque smoke flavor. Definitely a no go for me. Customer service was good which is the reason for the stars. I feel like my $26 wasn't well spent. Mac and cheese went to the trash. I barely ate the collard greens. I ended up rinsing the sauce off the brisket, frying it and adding store bought barbque and putting between 2 slices of nature's own bread. read more

We took a drive out to Beola's. It was not what I had my taste buds prepared for. Customer service was excellent, ambiance good. This is a store front setting, which was fine for the time of date we went. Had it been another day or time there may not have been anywhere to sit. The food was ok, I was not a big fan. My husband ate his. The waffles had too much cinnamon in the batter so all you taste when eating the waffle is cinnamon. The only thing I could tolerate was the red beans and rice. All the other food was not tasty. The seasoning was weird, I don't know, just didn't taste like the soul food I'm accustomed to. Whatever was going on with the seasoning my taste buds and stomach said no. Try it you might like it. Was not good to me. Thank you read more

Beola's Chicken & Waffles - A little of everything. - Barbeque Near Me - Upland, California

Wow!! I've missed these home cooked meals for way too long! Wish I had tried this place before now. Beola is the creator of these delicious recipes and her grandson is carrying on her traditions. Can't thank him enough! We got chicken & waffles (of course my usual fave), red beans & rice, cornbread and sweet tea. Everything is very good portions. Chicken is hand breaded with so many wonderful spices that don't feel overly fried and moist meat. Waffle was big that we split it. Smothered it with their maple butter (YUM!) and barely used any maple syrup because the waffle batter had so much flavor and cinnamon which is my favorite. Waffle was so soft but not soggy it had lightly crisp edges. Rice & beans were so flavorful that you only get from a good home cooked meal. It has beef and pork links that give it so much flavor. Oh my heavens...they call it cornbread but I call it corncake because it was so fluffy,moist and not at all gritty. We were welcomed by the owner and he talked with us after we tasted to get our feedback. Great guy. Very hospitable. Pictures are attached to see our meal and the restaurant. There are 5 tables. They do catering too. They are located around the corner from Whole Foods, across from chipotle & Wendy's. read more

I've been a fan of Beolas for years and today I was my first time going to location on Baseline Rd Troy, the owner, was extremely kind and politely shared everything I needed to know about the different items on their menu. I ended up going with the 6 piece wings with two sides and couldn't help but add a 3rd Despite choosing the plain chicken, the flavor was everything. Exactly what you want when eating fried chicken. Cooked to perfection and made fresh. Mac and cheese was delicious I am very picky with my greens and these are the best I've ever had. Red beans and rice was so flavorful They had nothing but great old school music hits playing and I was dancing the whole time I was enjoying my meal. So glad I finally stopped by and can't wait for their other location to reopen. Beolas is by far the best southern / soul food I've ever had. read more

This place has the worse food ..I I ever had. I spent over $79 and some change I threw every collard greens, Mac n cheese. Oxtails...and 8those beans they cook it with away. The Sodium intake would of killed me with my high blood pressure. Red snapper was ok. But the rest went into the trash even sweet potato pie.. I'm so pissed I want every bit of money back. Totally freaking gross SO DARN PISSED read more

I came here before grocery shopping and have been meaning to try this place. Thr place has a good amount of seating and outdoor seating. I got their daily special of chicken sandwich with fries ($9.99) It was seasoned nicely, it came with the choice of lettuce and sliced white onion. It was cooked thoroughly and the meat was juicy. The onions were too thick but it gave a nice texture. The fries were tossed in a seasoning and it was a good amount. The staff was nice and the place is clean. They do sell lottery and have a yelp check-in of a free drink of kool-aid. read more

Thanks for coming to town Beola's! I have passed by this place several times and today was the day we were dropping in. Happy we did. Red snapper, red beans and rice, Mac-n-cheese, brisket fries, accompanied by Kool-aid and lemonade. Bamm! Successful meal and satisfied customers. I was worried we wouldn't find seating but we did. They had some really good tunes playing while we ate. Nice and friendly staff as well. read more

We went there for our first time, they guy at the counter was disgruntle and rude. One of the Waffle was not cooked properly and we asked for a refund on the waffle, he told us to fuck off and leave, he removed my food from the table as I was eating at this point we asked for a full refund and he got up to my husband's face and pushed him. Authorities were called and we will be pursuing this to the full extent of the law. PSA- food was terrible, waffles crumbled completely apart, they were hard which was weird as they crumbled into sand. The chicken was salty and over seasoned. No wonder there is not traffic at the restaurant. Wish I had photos to upload, he grabbed out food from the table and threw it in the trash and did not give us a refund! Don't bother coming here. Save your money. So many better places to chose from. read more

Seven years ago I gave this restaurant a 1- star review. I recently returned after seeing a comment from the owner (Elizabeth M), inviting us to give them another try. My guests and I ordered several items from their menu. I ordered the fried pork chops. My guests were satisfied with their meals, thus 2-stars this time. The reason for my poor rating is that It was obvious to me that the pork chops had been breaded with fish fry batter and fried in the same oil as fish. Pork chops should not taste like seafood. Additionally, they were dry, as if they had been precooked hours earlier. The taste was very off-putting. I hope the owner will take this as constructive criticism. read more

The lady at the front with the red hair was super sweet and super accommodating. Making sure we had extra sauce and everything. Now the food was so good, me and my friends ordered this: bbq brisket fried with cheese, fried catfish, chicken and waffles. Sides: rice and gravy , Mac n cheese, collard greens , red beans and rice. Everything was super hot and fresh , so I'm assuming they make it right when you order. The brisket had a bit too much fat for my liking but was delicious overall. Super clean inside and very homey. 10/10 would recommend and come back! read more

The guy at the front counter had an attitude when I had questions, the food was under seasoned, and the dessert had to be heated up (NOT fresh). I will NOT be returning to this establishment.

The restaurant is conveniently located at the Sycamore Hills Plaza, off of Baseline Rd, before the 210 freeway ramp. I placed an online order for pick up. My food was made fresh to order & was ready at the promised time. Upon my arrival, (this was my first time here), I saw the restaurant offered patio dining in front of the business, where there was shade and a cool breeze, so we decided to eat there rather than take our food home. I just relocated to Upland from Oklahoma. Chicken and Waffles is a southern staple! And let me tell you, Beola's did not disappoint!!! The best chicken and waffles, you can taste the authenticity of a home cooked meal from a family recipe. The chicken was seasoned well, and the waffle was huge, fluffy. Everything partnered well and tasted so good! We loved it so much that we even ordered another plate to go for later! The customer service was phenomenal. You can see a lot of heart and care from the owner. Come support a local business and try amazing food! We'll be back to try other food items from the menu. read more

I took my 5 kids to try this place out. I tried to order big for my kids, but the owner recommended I only order 3 chicken and waffle plates for them. That impressed me. He wasn't there to upsell me. It ended up being the perfect amount for them. They had a plate left over, which they finished later. I love soul food, and I usually go to Lucille's, since the last soul food place closed down about 15 years ago in La Verne. I'm so happy to have this place at the Claremont-Upland border next to the freeway. I ordered the catfish with collard greens. It was so good! The owner's father even helped me out with my kids, which I appreciate. It's a family business, and we have so few of those. I wish I had known they were going to give such great service. I would've tipped big at the beginning, when we paid. read more

food was absolutely delicious hospitality was also on point. I will definitely be back.

This restaurant served as a good contrast with the Whole Food's at the other side of the complex. The placed seemed like a humble cut out restaurant from the wall. I mean that in a good way. The food and staff were all quite friendly and patient with us while we were ordering. We ordered the chicken and waffles and the ox tail as well. The rice and beans were a nice side order that came with it. Everything was quite flavorful and seasoned down to the bone. Make sure you have plenty of water because the flavors can be quite strong without being too overpowering. This store serves as a nice place if you want a quick meal. Everything has a more personal touch than the Wendy's across the street. There's also a Coldstone Creamery right next door if you want desert afterwards. It's worth a try to come to Beola's if you're in the area. read more

The owner and son were both lovely people and beyond welcoming, I felt right at home as soon as I walked in. My friend and I ordered oxtails and catfish with sides of collard greens, max n cheese and the waffle. All the food was phenomenal and opened my eyes to a local spot that I've been blinded to. Must try!!! read more

I just ate here for the first time, I got the chicken and waffles. The chicken is super fresh and well seasoned with just the right amount of crispiness. The waffle surprised me because it was relatively thin and crispy, but still very hearty with a nice chewy texture. The combination of the sweetness of the waffle (which tastes good without syrup) and the chicken with a little bit of hot sauce produced a real symphony of flavor. The owner is very kind and attentive, and the prices are fair. I would love to try the other items on the menu, the oxtails looked great from the pictures. This is definitely a hidden gem of the Inland Empire. read more

We were split on this, half the table thought it was excellent and I thought it was just good, we tried the brisket, Mac and cheese, waffle and kids chicken tenders plate. The portions were good (as they should be at the prices) . The crisp of the kids chicken tenders were really good. The Mac n cheese was good, had more of a butter taste than cheese, in my opinion. The brisket was tender but not smoked which I suppose was a bit different for me. The waffle was delicious, the syrup was thick and high quality. The sweet potato pie was really good too. As mentioned this place was expensive come ready to pay. The service was excellent great people working there. read more

My bf and I were looking for a place to eat during my lunch hour and we luckily found this spot near my work! Troy was great and made us feel welcome from the beginning to the end of our meal. We got the fried catfish, collard green, chicken and waffles, Mac and cheese, baked salmon, peach cobbler, and a mix of the red and blue Kool Aid. Everything was amazing!! I can't even say anything negative about anything. Flavor was there, texture was there, temperature was there (made to order!), and the friendliness from the staff 10/10 (which is always a plus!) Troy made sure we had sauces, made sure our drink was always filled, etc! Talk about great customer service. Please try this place out for yourself! I'll be sure to be coming back with my friends. I can't wait to try the oxtail or the seafood gumbo! read more
