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!!!

Hello Alex! We came to your restaurant tonight for happy hour. It was actually our first time, even though we live in Covina. We enjoyed the food but will you think about adding a flatbread/pizza, nachos or loaded potato skins & something sweet?

Cheers to a wonderful brunch venue! Came with a friend to enjoy Sunday brunch, and had a bubbly…read moregood time. The place is so chic and cute! Trendy, girly, and comfy all at the same time. I did not feel like the space was overly crowded, and my friend and I were able to enjoy good food & conversation just fine. Their smoked salmon Benedict is delicious! As are their breakfast potatoes. I thoroughly enjoyed my dish. Although I did not enjoy their bubblies this time, their abuelita chocolate latte was just as good. What I enjoyed the most was the beautiful but comfortable atmosphere, where my friend and I could catch up peacefully over good brunch. We both agreed that we would come back. It is a perfect "girls brunch" venue. Be sure to make reservations, as they can get busy. You can easily make reservations here on Yelp. Cheers!

I was disappointed in my dining experience last Saturday at Mamimosa's…read more I eat out a lot and was anxious to give them a fair shot after another Yelper made a negative comment about the restaurant following its appearance on Kitchen Undercover. I had hoped to counteract it with a positive review as a diner who had actually visited the restaurant (and then eat there regularly to support the business). Unfortunately... The food wasn't awful but wasn't great (the onions in the omelet needed to be cooked a bit more and were still hard), and the service was disappointing. Examples: First, my server kept looking at the man at the table next to me as I was asking about the menu and trying to order. It was disconcerting and unusual. Next, a carafe of water with fruit in it was brought to my table, which was nice, but when I asked for one with no ice in it (I have sensitive teeth), I was told they didn't have very many carafes and couldn't take the ice out of the one with ice in it. Instead, I watched the carafe sit at another table with no diners (the restaurant wasn't full, by any means) for most of my meal. Meanwhile, I was given a medium-sized cup of water with no ice and no refill throughout the meal until someone brought the check and I asked them to please bring me some water (I'd already drunk the small bottle of emergency water I always keep in my purse and was getting desperate at that point). I did notice a table where a couple had a pitcher of water, but unfortunately that was never offered to me, and I didn't see my server again after I ordered. It seemed to be another server who eventually brought my check. I noticed there were quite a few empty tables for late morning/lunch time. I was surprised by it when I arrived, but not when I left. Honestly, diners can do better. There are too many good restaurants with great food and service to settle for what they offer at Mamimosas. I really, really recommend that they re-train their servers.

I know they said this place is closed, but I read on their socials that the physical location is…read moreclosing, not the business itself. I'm not sure if there will be another page for this business when more information is out. But I wanted to leave a review either way, in case people still come looking for this page. I went on their last day at the physical location. There was definitely a feeling of community and good vibes. It wasn't so packed but there were plenty of conversations being had in this small space. It seems like they've cultivated a lot of trust and adoration with their customers. It was my first time here so I went with their chilaquiles rojos and a cafe de olla latte (hot). It didn't take long to come out. At first I thought the portion size of chilaquiles was on the smaller size for the price, but once I tasted them, I didn't mind it. They were so good! Flavorful, covered in red sauce, I love that they topped it with cilantro and onions, it gave it a burst of freshness. The egg was cooked perfectly (they gave me the option of scrambled or fried egg). It wasn't spicy at all (I kinda wish that it was). The latte was amazing as well. You really taste the piloncillo, but it's not overly sweet. I would go just for that drink alone. Everything about my visit was great. I would suggest following them on their socials to get updates about their next business ventures and hopefully news about where to find them next.

Chismosa cafe provided soyriso burritos and iced oat milk coffees on 6/14/25…read more Food: the soyrizo breakfast burrito was delicious. 10/10. The iced coffee drink- delicious. 10/10.

There were 4 pieces of chicken and those were crispy. Butter and syrup were provided in separate containers since I ordered as takeout. I also got a breakfast burrito w/ bacon and turkey with no green onions for my friend. My friend ended up loving the burrito! I went close to around 1:30 pm on the weekend so it wasn't busy at that time. It took a few minutes for the order to be ready. The store itself was a small spot that is ideal for groups or 4 or less and takeout. There is street parking right at front but I had to park near the downtown area and walk over. American Express is accepted here.

LOVE BB's Cafe!…read more This place never misses the mark! I ordered the Chicken and Waffle, my usual, and it was as delicious as ever. The waffle was light and fluffy & I can't get enough. The chicken was fried to perfection, as usual. I don't live locally, and travel about 30 minutes to get here, because it is that good! The service is always on point the music selection is the best!! What more can you ask for?? Great food, service, and music! I have had other items off then menu (Mac & cheese, collard greens, catfish, and breakfast burrito) and I am never disappointed. If you're on the fence of giving BB's Cafe a try, here is your sign!
