    Came in when they opened on Wednesday, family/staff were friendly and polite. They had smokers outside for bbq'n. We decided to split the works, came with brisket,ribs,chicken, and smoked sausage, along with 3 sides. We chose mac n chs, onion rings and bbq beans. The Mac n chs was well seasoned which you don't get that often, and not overly cheesy. Brisket was super tender and the ribs had a good smokiness to them. We were given and roll and cornbread. Service was good, food was good. Reasonable pricing for bbq. We'd be back again. Place is located across the street from upland high school.

    My sister and I came here as we were in the area. We wanted BBQ and this place popped up. We came in and we were the only ones here, then others came about 30 mins later. It is a nice place location is in a very tiny strip mall and parking is also a bit limited. But the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice and quiet. Food was fantastic in my opinion and my sister loved it too.

    Stopped by Frank's BBQ in Upland, CA today and wow... my taste buds are still doing a happy dance! We had it all; brisket, pork ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and sausage (which was on the house) Everything was smoky, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell a lot of love goes into the food here. And let me just say... Frank, the owner, is awesome. Such a warm, welcoming guy who makes you feel right at home. If you're a BBQ lover, you need to put this place on your list. Trust me, you won't leave hungry! I completely forgot to take pictures of our plates the video I got was after we devoured everything! And just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, Frank surprised us with a peach cobbler his wife makes on the house! Such a sweet touch and honestly one of the best I've ever had.

    We celebrated Tony's 70th birthday here last night and it was fantastic!!! I couldn't have asked for a better place to have his party. It was over the top!! Frank was so hospitable and let us come in and decorate the place while he was still open for business. The food was SO delicious and everyone that attended couldn't say enough about how fun and nice the whole staff was. If you're looking for excellent bbq food or need to throw a party ,you need to check them out. They are also open for in dining. We will be back for sure!!

    Tri tip

    I don't normally review things but felt like I really should. Ordered the family pack for Mother's Day. I bbq plenty but my wife wanted something brought in for her and our moms. Ribs, tri tip, mac & cheese, coleslaw, beans and 2 hot links as well. Ribs were good. Coleslaw and beans were ok. Hot links were good. Tri tip wasn't even edible. Friendly enough when I picked up the food. But at the price paid, I couldn't believe how overdone the tri tip was. Extremely disappointed.

    Sides that came with the 'Works', my son chose beans, Mac n cheese, cole slaw.

    How did we not know about this place for so long?? My son & I had been craving bbq, but didn't know where to go. We just happened to drive by Franks BBQ in Upland, never realized there was a BBQ place there! I read the reviews on Yelp, the food looked legit, so we went the next day. I was a little nervous because no one was eating there and it was still early in the day. My son ordered the works and I ordered the brisket sandwich with Mac n cheese & beans. Ohh my gosh, the food is delicious! My son LOVED all his food, let me tell you he knows good BBQ. We were blown away that is how good the food was. The sweet waitress also let us know they had tamales for sale also. My son ordered a dozen before we left ( half chicken half pork). We had them for breakfast the next day with over easy eggs. The tamales were very good also. My son loved those also! I just don't know if people know about this place. We live in Ontario and never knew about this place. It's a shame because the food is the bomb! Legit good BBQ! My son told me he is already wanting to go back for some more BBQ!! We will be back real soon. Please check & support this place out if you like good BBQ. I love supporting small businesses,especially when they deserve it!

    Pulled pork lunch with sides yummy !!!!!!

    Outstanding delicious, friendly, atmosphere first time visit. I was a bit shocked that I had not found this place before close to home.! Family oriented dining room area for your entire family and guest. It was the best lunch I had in a long time thank you Frank's barbecue you guys are awesome.!!

    The Works (4 meats and 3 sides)

    Come and check this place out! You will not be disappointed. Redding and Foothill across from Bowlero your perfect next date night! Some AWESOME everything from scratch BBQ. My husband and I make our own smoked meats but every once in a while we like to try new spots. I promise you will love it here. Come check out Frank's and you will want to come back!

    Food was legit with good portion sizes! Worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood. Some of the best BBQ I've had in the IE

    BBQ Chicken & Brisket

    Amazing bbq around the area! Finally, some bbq place that takes pride in their quality! We got the wings, brisket and bbq chicken. Service was awesome too. Clean and good environment.

    Lunch plate-- the beans were... meh. Everything else was yummy.

    Finally made the trip, and it was absolutely worth it! We've missed Souplantation for years and had…read morebeen wanting to try Soup 'n Fresh ever since we heard about it. The moment we walked in, all the memories came rushing back. Even though the name has changed, the fresh salad bar, delicious soups, the smell of freshly baked bread, baked potatoes, and sweet potatoes all felt just as comforting as we remembered. Our favorites were the variety of fresh salad selections, the chicken noodle soup, and the clam chowder. The bright, spacious dining room and relaxed atmosphere made the experience even better. It's a bit of a drive for us, but we'll gladly keep coming back whenever we're craving salads and soups, yum yum.

    ​The Ultimate Souplantation Nostalgia--and Still Hits the Spot!…read more ​Soup 'n Fresh in Rancho Cucamonga has officially become my go-to tradition for my annual performance review with my manager. The moment you walk in and sit down, you get that instant, amazing "blast from the past" feeling of classic Souplantation. ​The Game Plan ​To Start: A big plate of Asian salad alongside hot cornbread slathered in honey butter. ​The Carbs & Soups: Next up is the focaccia bread paired with my two absolute favorite soups: the New England Clam Chowder and the Chicken Tortilla. ​If Space Permits: The mac & cheese is always calling my name if I'm not already stuffed. ​The Grand Finale: You physically cannot leave without building a mountain of soft-serve ice cream. ​Service & Quality ​Huge shoutout to the manager, Greg! He took the time to share his personal menu favorites with us and gave us the inside scoop--everything at the Rancho location is made completely in-house. That extra touch and fresh quality make a huge difference. ​No matter the occasion, I always leave here happy. I'll definitely be back for my next review... as long as I don't get fired between now and then! Highly recommended!

    I recently dined in at CAVA for the very first time in Pasadena. I loved the Harissa Honey Chicken…read moreAvocado Bowl so much I had to find another location closer to my home. Found them at Terra Vista Town Center in Rancho Cucamonga. Plentiful parking. Cool! Got here close to closing time and they were still packed with customers. It's a good sign when customers are still coming in till the end. Well done CAVA! Interior was bright and clean. Non-occupied tables were busted. Both indoor and outdoor seatings are available. Fountain drink station and selective standalone drinks are present for your choosing. Restrooms are in the back of the restaurant. Got in line with maybe about 10+ people ahead of me. I feel their system needs to be improved a bit. I understand they can't move forward with the bowls until the bowls in the front are done. Every step of the way, our bowls were filled, but just sitting there getting cold until the previous bowls are done. Not sure how they can improve the assembly. Btw, their ingredients stations were messy not the most organized bins. Crumbs of stuff all over the place. You'll see what I mean when you see the photos. They really need to keep their stations clean and organized. Anyway, I wanted to try the Spicy Lamb Bowl, but the meat didn't look as great as the ones at Pasadena. So I got the Harissa Honey Chicken Avocado Bowl again. The chicken was not in big chunks like the other place. Oh well. Got the bowl as the chef curated plus a few more toppings such slaw, tomato + cucumber, and tomato + onion. Unlimited toppings as many as you choose. Selective toppings such as avocado may have an extra charge. Soda water wasn't working great at the fountain station. Someone needs to check it out. Bowl was good, but was not as good as the one I had at Pasadena. Something was off about it. Maybe the ingredients did not have the same level of preparation and freshness. Not really sure. One more thing, this bowl doesn't normally come with a pita, but I was offered one pita free of charge at the Pasadena location. I wasn't offered the same here. Bummer! Staff was okay not the most welcoming and smiliest. Nonetheless, still a great place to get one of their Chef-Curated Bowls at varying prices or Build Your Own (BYO) bowl starting at $12.95. Just be mindful the price could add up with BYO. I may return again, but during earlier hours and not at almost closing time. Hopefully the stations will be much cleaner and organized. Thanks CAVA!

We came on a weekend and it was super busy (as it should be honestly with how amazing the food and service are). We got the blackened salmon with penne pasta and baby potatoes, and the flat iron steak with bow tie pasta and herb brown rice. The steak was cooked perfectly medium. The bow tie pasta is served cold and has a vinegary flavor to it, definitely a distinct taste, but I personally loved it because I enjoy sour/vinegary flavors. I can see why it might not be everyone's favorite though, but I personally really enjoyed it. The salmon was also super flavorful and cooked perfectly. Same with the penne pasta and potatoes. Honestly everything was just made really well and good. For the sauce, we got their popular jalapeno garlic sauce and it paired well with absolutely everything. Needless to say, this place was really good from head to toe. I also got to meet the owner and he was super friendly too. I seriously wish they would open one closer to my area. Parking was really easy and the ambience was lively with sports playing all around the bar and plenty of seating.

I ordered blackened salmon with couscous as I saw the reviews that salmon is really good and garlic apple aioli to pair with. we find our own seats inside as it's hot outside, and waited for our food. as it turns out the salmon is pretty good, it's on the thin side but not too dry. lots of couscous that I couldn't finish the plate. garlic apple aioli pairs well with the dish too. my friend and her 12yo son ordered blackened tofu-+salad, and grilled shrimps+penne pasta. the tofu doesn't look very appetizing, and the salad is normal bowl size, not too big, compared to couscous and the pasta sides. the grilled shrimps comes on 1 screwer but looks pretty good as well. price is not too expensive, considering the inflation now. they do have a bar but we only got water. overall it's a relaxing place to catchup with friends, if you don't mind the music is on the louder side.
