My boo singing his heart out
Charmaine G.

I went to check out Karaoke night. It was quite empty which was fine. More singing for me. The waiter was EXCELLENT, I wish I had his name. I'd go back just for him. We ordered tacos which were DA BOMB . Deliciousness 100%.

Cadillac Margarita & Firestone 805
Brenda M.

I've been looking for new places since moving to Covina. I came in on a Sunday with my husband and noticed as soon as we walked in how loud the music was playing . I like the songs they were playing but found myself yelling at my husband to talk to him. We finally got a waitress. I order the Short Rib Grilled cheese,since I asked the waitress what there most popular item on the menu was, Also order a Cesar salad I would say the salad was better the grilled cheese. There margaritas were good. I noticed the manager was drinking White claws as he was talking to his customers . I did noticed how hard the cooks were working . I noticed a lot of servers walking around but they weren't directed on how to utilized themselves to keep the customers happy. I watched some customers walking out for no service. The ambience was nice but I don't think I'd come back.

Chile verde breakfast burrito 10/10 !!!
Natalie V.

If you go during the day it may be a little empty as it's more of a dinner an night bar crowd, DON'T be fooled, try their Brunch menu (bottomless mimosas $30) & the food is great !!! I been here once before, I tried the salmon and mash potatoes.. WOW, it was delicious. Thought I'd try the brunch menu and it didn't disappoint! The brisket fell right off and don't get me started on that magnificent Chili Verde w/shredded brisket and potatoes burrito

Last minute plans to gather a bunch of friends for a Birthday Celebration, and City Grill came highly recommended. I was lucky enough to meet the Alex the owner about a week prior to the reservations. He was very friendly, professional and courteous. He already had 2 large groups booked in the main bar but offered me the patio and it worked out great. I had a large group of 30-40 people, the patio ambience was perfect, plenty of seating, 2 fire pits, an assigned server that only worked our party (she was a rockstar, worked the entire area, her service level was phenomenal), easy access to restrooms, no crowed walkways, or cramped spaces, and the music although low made it easy for everyone to actually hear their conversations. The food is quality, I'd describe it as gastropub, the Garlic Parmesan Fries and the Salads were the groups favorites. They also have a full beer and wine bar along with an impressive cocktail menu and specialty drinks. The staff was solid. I was very impressed with their security team, he checked in with me on the hour to make sure we didn't need anything. I'm enjoy the Covina bars scene regularly, but usually sticking to Rude Dogs, Katie Jakes, Edna Vees, Ola, Cove, Elvie's, Republic etc. That said, I really like the City Grill it's a different vibe, the dance floor was lit the entire night, I heard the DJ was amazing, spinning dance, house and 70s. I'd describe the crowd as 30-40 yrs old party people, very lively, and fun. My overall opinion; their management team, service staff, security, quality of food and drinks is top notch. Thank you City Grill Team! If you haven't made your way over, I recommend you do soon.

omg, you will love this menu
Norma G.

We came here for Happy Hour and was quite impressed with the business photos from Yelp. So we decided give it a shot. Not going to lie I was a little disappointed with what we got. The order: City Burger: overall good burger fries were very soggy Kids Chicken Strips: to me the strips look and tasted burnt. Kind tasted like it was frozen and cooked it in really hot oil. Our server assured us that the strips are not frozen. Chicken Nachos: it was okay, the cheese tasted like jar quest dip from the store. I was also little disappointed in the presentation. Pros: Super friendly staff. Big shout out to the bartender who checked up on us more than our server. Nice big place, this would be a great place to rent out and have a celebration in which it looks like people do. Nice variety on the menu. Cons: I was a little disappointed with the food. I just felt the presentation was lacking as well as the taste. Overall: I recommend trying this place out for yourself. They have a nice variety with good happy hour menu. I just might be overly picky

Blackened shrimp taco appetizer for $14.49. Smallish
Randy S.

First time here. Was a bit skeptical because no one was here. Interior is clean and large with lots of booths and several tables and it was quite pleasant. I came on a Wednesday at 7 pm and there were only 2 people at the bar the entire time here. Only saw one cook and 1 waitress, who was very pleasant. I ordered the blackened shrimp tacos and my wife go the shrimp salad. Both were tasty, and my wife really enjoyed the salad. I found the tacos to taste good but they were mini tacos, so I was a bit disappointed. However, most likely I would come back. Since we don't drink I cannot comment on the bar.

Chicken salad wrap
Kamille J.

Food was bomb. I got the chicken salad wrap. My fiancé got the chile verde pork fries and southwest wings. Really good. The server I didn't catch his name (young man with nose ring) was very sweet and super helpful and attentive . Definitely recommend

Short Rib Grilled Cheese- the pesto spread gives it an added perfection
Crystal D.

The fist time visiting CityGrill and I can't wait to go back. Great food and the service met my expectations in all aspects, Alissa was the sweetest gave recommendations and all where on point! Had the posole, it had the perfect spice and taste. The grilled cheese was a great substitute for an appetizer. They have a full bar, Bloody Mary met expectations and you can member go wrong with bottomless mimosas. Juice options were orange, pineapple and cranberry

Elizabeth W.

Let me just start off by saying the atmosphere is super chill and welcoming! They were beyond accommodating for a last minute dinner with the family. I was starving but our waitress Hanna was on her A game! She treated us like family!! She ended up recommending the short rib grilled cheese and oh my goodness!! It was the best thing ever!!! It was just perfect and melted in my mouth!! I can not wait to come back again!!!! I heard football sundays are the best days to come so I will be back!!!

We ordered the honey cornbread, hanger steak, brisket pasta, and hojicha fig latte. The honey cornbread was good, but a little too sweet for my liking. The hanger steak came with chimichurri, fries, and eggs. The steak itself was okay, but the chimichurri definitely saved it and added a lot more flavor. The fries were a bit too salty for me and also felt slightly undercooked. The brisket pasta was delicious, but definitely on the heavier side. It was tomato-based, although I couldn't really taste much of the tomato because the spice from the chili took over most of the flavor. The hojicha fig latte was good and tasted like a pretty standard hojicha latte. I couldn't really taste the fig at all, although fig does have a much more delicate flavor profile. Service was alright. We tried to flag down the servers a few times, but most of them seemed to be hanging around by the DJ booth and weren't really paying attention to the dining area in general. Overall, the food was definitely unique and there were some things I enjoyed, but I'm not sure if I'd personally come back.

The service was extremely slow to start--we waited a while just for water and to get drink orders taken. We ordered the Ahi tuna appetizer, which was good, but the course pacing completely fell apart after that. Our salads took 25 minutes to arrive. Before I could even get the fresh ground pepper I requested, our main courses were rushed to the table while we hadn't even started our salads. The food quality was unacceptable for an upscale restaurant: Both my wife and I ordered our steaks medium-rare. Mine arrived completely leathery, dry as a bone, and thoroughly overcooked. I didn't eat a single bite of it. My wife's steak arrived medium-well, and her side of rice was completely dry. The bottle of red wine we ordered from their very small wine list was served warm. When we declined having the steak re-fired or free dessert, we finished our wine and asked for the check. The $62 inedible steak was still on the bill, so I asked to speak with the owner. When I calmly explained the issues, the owner became angry that I didn't want the steak redone and walked away mid-conversation. He eventually came back, removed the $62 steak, and told us he didn't want us back in his restaurant. To top it off, for an establishment charging fine-dining prices where guests dress up, the owner was wearing shorts and sneakers. One chance is all a restaurant gets to make a good impression. Lincoln House missed the mark completely. We will not be returning.

Our server took over 10 minutes just to greet us, and the wait for our food was even worse. Charging $15.95 for a BLTA and then charging extra for tomato is already ridiculous -- only for them to come back another 10 minutes later to tell me they were out of multiple items anyway. Once the food finally arrived, the server never checked on us again. We had to flag someone down ourselves just to get the check. I didn't catch her name because she barely introduced herself in the first place. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place on a Saturday afternoon. The service was awful, the staff seemed uninterested, and the food definitely wasn't worth the price.
