Swung by this place with my family after the car show today. Party of 10. The vibe felt cool, but once we sat down everything went down hill from there. I gave the waitress a heads up it would be 3 checks. 3 separate families. It took a while for us to get our drinks, when the waitress came over it was to take our food order, thought it was funny in my mind cause we haven't been asked about drinks yet. I ordered the $40 pork chop meal. It came with more fries, and 1 small pork chop! Was very disappointed. Both my sisters families got their meals, my wife and i got our meals, and it wasn't until we all were close to done eating and 3 heads up to our waitress that my daughter hasn't received her meal yet (a flatbread pizza). And through our whole meal, not once did our waitress check to see if anyone needed a refill. The waitress said that she didn't put in my daughter's order in yet; because she had a question. But in between everything she was doing, she forgot to come ask my daughter. Smh When I received the bill, she still had the audacity to put my daughter meal on our check. No problem, I paid it without complaining. Just will NEVER be back! And I would advise you all to try any other restaurant over there in the downtown area. Maybe only swing by here if you just want to catch a game and have a beer. read more

Everytime I come to City Grill I get a burger... and everytime it's delicious! To be honest, I have never tried anything else here but I don't feel the need to because the burger is so great and fairly cheap. As far as the service goes, I once got offered a free shot on my birthday which was a nice surprise. read more

City Grill - Burger - New American Near Me - Covina, California

Great music on Friday nights and nice patio for lunches or quiet evenings by the fire pit. Mind you the music cannot be heard from the patio. I've enjoyed City Grill for Communion celebrations on the patio and lively birthday parties inside, regardless it's always a nice time. Not to mention their food is pretty great too. Try their pulled pork sliders, they're amazing! read more

Came for dinner with my colleague on a Monday night and it was pretty empty. Food was pretty good, we both got burgers and it was surprisingly juicy. 3 stars because the drinks sucked and customer service was mediocre due to having only one server. read more

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%. read more

City Grill - My boo singing his heart out - New American Near Me - Covina, California

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. read more

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 read more

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. read more

First timer and coming back bruh! Micah was such a breath of fresh air - kind, respectful, and very attentive during our dinner. The food was amazing and the drinks did not disappoint. Nachos and lettuce wraps are the biz! This place is hidden on college st, but worth a visit. It has a great menu and the food was delicious. Just wish they had tvs outside to catch the dodger game, but being tv-less forced a conversation, that even Micah joined in. We'll be back! read more

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 read more

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. read more

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 read more

1.Located in downtown Covina. 2. Interior as well decorated open in airy. 3. Service was excellent, he felt warm and welcomed. 4. Food was horrible! Hamburger was undercooked, eggs, and pancakes appear to have been cooked in the exact same location of the grill. It all tasted like grease . pozzole Tasted like they put green chili enchilada sauce from the can in it. The chorizo potatoes, or simply cut up potatoes deep fried with some chorizo. Not good at all. It would be truly a shame to not see this restaurant succeed. Wonderful location beautiful interior but horrible food. read more

Food and drinks are ok. Nothing special, juts your typical bar and grill type spot. But if you like that type of atmosphere, then it's all there! Went for brunch with a group, and again, nothing special about the menu. It does get crowded about 12/1 and it it loud AF with the live DJ, but if that's your vibe, then have it! Probably will be back at some point, but not anytime soon. Service was also great, but once it gets packed, forget about it. read more

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!!! read more

I feel so disappointed with city grill . I booked a month in advance for my daughter's grad party . A party of 20 and the service was terrible and the cooks struggled to send food out on time . It was obvious they were not prepared for our party . It was 1pm in middle of day and maybe 20 other people in resturants. To top it off bathrooms were filthy . City grill please do better .

We arrived right at opening and the first people in the empty restaurant. There was one waitress and one cook!?! A few minutes later, another family of three came in. After about 40 minutes of waiting, another couple came in and sat at the bar. We ordered a salad and one appetizer. OVER AN HOUR LATER, NO FOOD! WTH?!? How do you operate a restaurant with two people? We later realized there were people outside in the patio area, but again, how do you run a business with two people? There was absolutely no regard for the fact they were taking two years and totally ignoring their customers. The service must better at night than when they first open. This was our second time trying this place. They failed miserably. We left. Would NOT recommend this place! read more

The fries were crispy and delicious; the seasoning was not too strong. The Southwestern Grilled Chicken Club sandwich overall was good - the chicken breast in the middle of the lightly toasted ciabatta bread was just the right amount of moist/dry. The bacon was a bit too hard to bite into so I had to take those out. They changed the decor in here a bit, which makes the restaurant appear more spacious. The server was very polite and attentive, but as there was only one server, and it affected the speed, particularly when there are several tables. The wait time for the food here is typically longer than it is at other restaurants. read more

First time there. Really enjoyed the ambiance. Music was a little loud for me during happy hour, hard to talk. It was perfect when the dancing picked up. Ana was our server, she was in top of it, always checking in on us. Had the cheese dip and chips and buffalo wings very tasty. Will be going for dinner. Also had the green chile quesadillas not a fan, the Chile had zero spice taste and looked like it was outed straight out of a jar. Happy hour is until 7 hours in website aren't updated. FYI Will return soon Loved lived the music. Oldies, disco old school read more

Absolutely great service from the bartender to our waiter tonight. Food was okay but drinks were spectacular. My husband ordered the Ribeye and said it was just ok. I ordered the slow cooked beef pappardelle and it was pretty bland. Needed salt and other seasoning. Despite the food, we'd go back for the service, good drinks, and close location to home. read more

Father's Day ruined. Worst experience ever. "We we're wondering why it was empty on Father's Day. We soon found out . "Rib eye steak " was more like a tube steak of fat. ( I sent it back) They didn't have any of the food options my sons chose so they had to settle for the burger and pulled pork sandwich which they said was gross. I rarely throw shade on places I didn't enjoy but I want to save the family's out there struggling to make ends meet to waste their hard earned money on a place like this. read more

Food was not prepared well and it was expensive. If you're going to charge higher then your food better be on the high side too. I ordered the ribeye steak with the scalloped potatoes. Steak was okay but over cooked and the potatoes were raw. I don't mind paying for good food but should be good as well. This is not the first time I had bad food here. read more

Ambiance and music great. Food and signature drinks not much. New family to Covina and we most likely won't be back read more

Absolutely terrible place. We sat down immediately, but had to wait at least 10 minutes to get our drinks. Our waitress offered our son, who is underage, if he'd like anything from the bar. Then, it took at least 45 minutes to get our food, well we got our sons and my husbands food, but had to wait another 30 minutes to get mine. My husbands food came out cold, we sent it back and they said that the chef reheated it and then 10 minutes later, it got cold again. I would not recommend this place. No manager came over to apologize or anything. Ambiance is nice, more of a bar environment, but we did not think it would be this awful. Best of luck if y'all go here! read more

Kitchen looked understaffed so we understood why most of our food got to our table about 30-40 minutes after we ordered. Wings where raw in the center so we had to ask that they re cook them. Both re done wings arrived with our entrees. Pulled pork sandwich was just plain pathetic excuse for a pulled pork sandwich. Hardly any pork, hardly any BBQ sauce, little slaw that was just plain flavorless. Bun was about two or three days past its prime and some of the fries where raw. I asked for extra BBQ sauce to somewhat salvage this sandwich but it never came. Second flatbread ordered was burned and way overcooked. Service was good and servers where very nice. Drinks are standard. Would not be coming back. read more

I generally tip on my bills even if the service is the most basic service. But dining here tonight not one server checked on us to see if the food was okay, to see if we needed refills, or just to ask how we're doing... felt very unwelcoming since we had to wave down a server every time we needed something. Some were chatting behind the bar or just standing around... I come from the food service industry and I would never leave customers unattended without any 'check-in' during their meal... it seems like common knowledge. The food was fine, but the waitress didn't seem to know the menu that well so there was some miscommunication. Generally, all my food taste better when the service is just as good... Hope service improves so the food isn't the only good thing left tasting at the end of the night. read more

Came here for breakfast for the first time and not knowing what to expect I was very pleased with my experience. The server Carissa waited on us immediately and we had our drinks in just a moment. Ordered the pork hash and it was delicious. I'll be back again to try the Lucy. Highly recommend this place for a bite to eat and a refreshing drink. read more
