    We dropped off our daughter for college in the area and this may become a regular place for us. In fact, I know it will. The food is definitely 5+ stars!! The food was massive amounts and delicious. I could not even open my mouth wide enough for a bite. Amazing and fresh ingredients. I love onion rings, so seeing them in the Roy Boy hamburger was all I needed to see to know that would be my selection. I really appreciated that they asked for details about whether I would like the bacon crispy. All of that made it perfect for me. H&H is located in a quiet area with shops and other things going on. It seems like a part of town that might be busier in the evenings. There were quite a few people having lunch. There are a few organizational things that might need tending to, but honestly, it's probably just me. I would have liked to see employees helping with seating. It was a pretty warm day so everyone wanted to sit inside. There were 2 young men sitting at a table for 5-6. If I worked there I would have asked them to move to a 2 top table so the waiting family of 5 could have sat at that table. The family of 5 ultimately pushed 2 small tables together and awkwardly sat there juggling the tight space. The setup of the counter could be better thought out. Again, it all seems to need someone coming in to help manage placement and flow. The decorations are eclectic and don't make a lot of sense. I enjoyed the artwork but could not tell if the paintings were for sale or just to admire. There is a lot going on. None of this will keep us away but I hope they tend to some of this to make it a more inviting and comfortable space.

    Pastrami chili cheese fries and The Original Burger
    Francisco C.

    Hen & Heifer is definitely a spot I'll be coming back to! The food was extra fresh, delicious, and very reasonably priced. The chili cheese fries with pastrami are absolutely to die for seriously, a must-try! The service was also great. Our food came out quickly and was brought right to our table, which made the whole experience even better. Great food, good prices, and quick, friendly service. I'll definitely be coming back, and next time I'm bringing a bigger party!

    We were in town for a baseball tournament. Had an hour to eat in between games. Had great reviews on Yelp. Decided to give it a try. Stand in line to order. Food delivered to your table. Hands down the best cheeseburger I've had in my life. Better than In and Out! Will definitely come back when we're in the area.

    The Roy boy with fries and the classic with onion rings

    My daughter and I came from Rancho to visit here in Pomona. She said she wanted to have a good burger and for me to find one. There are absolutely none near me. I've done the legwork. It was easy to find and we came in at perfect timing for us because there was only one party ahead of us. I'd like to look at the menu before I go somewhere so I was on the fence between a pork sandwich and I ultimately ended up with the Roy boy. I got onion rings on the side. My daughter got the classic and fries on the side. We both got Mexican cokes we get them everywhere we go. Dario gave us an expensive explanation on any questions we had and a little bit about the history of their business. They also have a second location in the high desert area called Apollo burgers, I believe. He said that one gets voted best burger since it opened. The restaurant was very clean. A rush of other patrons came in right after us. I loved my burger. It was very thick. I added bacon to it, and it was extra crispy just like I love it. I will definitely be recommending. In fact I already have to my manager who lives in Pomona. She will be going soon. She loves burgers.

    So happy to have been able to chow down on one of their delectable burgers and fries! I highly recommend Hen and Heifer and am looking forward to the next time I get to stop by there. With comforting food, a relaxed atmosphere, chill staff, and downtown vibes, it's an awesome fast-casual spot in Pomona. The Boss Hog: An easy 5/5. Towering and indulgent, it's an ultra savory burger with all of the best proteins. Slightly messy but not super greasy. Could easily split into two meals. Fresh Cut Belgian Fries: Another easy 5/5. Simple but so delicious. They kept the skins on and were lightly salted. Their enjoyably crispy texture made them extremely addicting. I also appreciated the generous portion! We luckily found free street parking less than a block away from the front of the restaurant. The inside isn't large but feels open due to the layout and high ceiling. The gentlemen on staff that day were patient with us first-timers, and they provided fantastic recs.

    What I consumed: - Classic Burger ($9.55) - The Mannimal ($17.53) - Onion Rings ($7.68) - Lil Kim Fries ($14.97) - Hen-Credible Sandwich ($15.50) How it tasted: - The food lingered longer than it should have. Every bite seemed engineered to pull me back in whilst refusing to be forgotten. The Hen-Credible stood apart from the rest--perfectly seasoned, disturbingly good, the kind of sandwich that occupies your thoughts hours later when it has no business doing so. Why five stars? - Something about the place felt disarming. The staff appeared exactly when needed. The service arrived with unnatural precision. The atmosphere was warm enough to lower your guard. The prices offered little reason to resist. Verdict: - I left believing I'd made a simple lunch stop, yet I've been thinking about that Hen-Credible ever since. Go if you want, but don't be surprised when it follows you home.

    This place has some seriously huge burgers, and they're absolutely delicious! Great selection of beers to choose from, and the customer service was friendly and welcoming. Good food, good drinks, and a great atmosphere. Definitely a spot I'd come back to!

    After arriving in to Hen & Heifer in eclectic downtown Pomona. It has industrial design in the space, but what caught my eye the most was these pop culture paintings on the wall. The staff was nice and gave us the spill on how the food is scratch made and also made to order. I ordered the narcissist burger and the little KIM fries to start the quality of the beef and the burger was excellent was an easy bite with quality ingredients. The little KIM fries were Bulgogi inspired with a very rich sauce with the typical pickle carrots, and radish that goes with a Korean dish. Overall, this was an excellent meal. I would definitely be back.

    Salad box

    The food is great pricing is okay too but the salad container needs to be a tad bit bigger so that I can actually add the dressing and actually be able to mix it. Thats all. Beautiful place. The service is good maybe have a different line just to pick up phone orders and not wait in line for 10 minutes just to pay and pick up. Service was good Jasmine was very nice and friendly.

    Hen and Heifer, located in Pomona, is a tasty burger spot with a crazy line of fans. We came here during the afternoon and the line was already out the door. There is a small patio section where you can bring your dogs and many people did! Don't pass up on those chili cheese fries they are delicious. The hamburgers were so big, and we ordered three to try one of each. Overall each hamburger had its own personality and we loved it! Can't wait to come back here again. Service was nice and the food was delicious! If you love burgers and fries this is a legit spot.

    DEBB D.

    Ordered take out so can't comment on service. But the burgers!!!!!!!! They were exactly what we were craving when it comes to burgers! Nice char with the flavor full of beef! Definitely a hefty burger and not something to be eating in a modest way! Can't wait to be in this side of the city to try more options!!

    It was the first time here and im glad we stopped by. They have a large menu so the person taking our order walked us through their most popular items and made some suggestions. She informed us that it was a "scratch kitchen," which means everything is made in-house and they even do their own butchering. I imagine this is why the wait time is a bit long. From the time we ordered (based on the receipt), to the time we got our food, it was exactly 30 minutes. The restaurant seating area is a decent size. It has a few booths, some high tops, and a few regular tables. They also have an outside patio area with about 4 regular tables. Atmosphere is casual and relaxed. For drinks they have Mexican Coke along with a few other soft drinks. They also offer fresh lemonade, different beers and ciders. For our food we got the Hen-credible sandwich, the Chickenator fries and the Chickenator Melty Melt. Everything was delicious. The Hen-Credibke sandwhich had 2 perfectly fried and crispy chicken strips. They had the right amount of breading and seasoned well. The jalapeño coleslaw was so good and paired nicely with the chicken. It wasn't overly dressed in mayo (or whatever sauce coleslaw has). It wasn't spicy but the jalapeño added a slight, much needed kick. The melt was also very tasty. I got it on a thick sliced sourdough bread. The chicken on this was grilled which is probably a healthier version since the sandwhich is heavy with cheese and sauce. The poblano chili added a different texture and kind of a slight spice to the sandwich. Warning, this is a messy sandwich for sure so make sure you have plenty of napkins. Lastly, the Chickenator fries. These fries were covered in poblano peppers, season chicken breast pieces, cheese and jalapeño dressing. They were tasty, but I think the chicken seasoning wasn't as good as the others. I'm not sure what the seasoning is, but it tasted lime forward to me. Again, they were good, just not as good as the othe things. Overall, this place is a must-try if youre in the area.

    Food was amazing here and I am super sad I didn't take any pictures, but it was my birthday so I was focused a little more on just hanging out with the family. I split a narcissist and a boss hog. Both burgers were amazingly delicious. The cheesesteak fries were also amazing - I'll bet their cheese steak sandwich is phenomenal based on the flavors of the cheesesteak fries. I understand they grind their own beef on site as well as use lard for their cooking. It must be that combination which makes their food so flavorful. I'll definitely be back for more even though it's a far drive for me. Hit up this place after the Pomona Swapmeet it's definitely worth a stop. On the downside if you have a large group, it might be difficult to get comfortable seating as there is only one booth that will accommodate more than four or five people comfortably. We had a party of six and one of our group members had to sit at different table nearby. Seating is all first come first served. They do deliver your order to the table but to order and pay you simply go to the counter line. There's a nice outdoor patio with a few tables that could be pulled together potentially for 6 to 8 people. Staff was friendly enough and highlighted my birthday with a sparkling mirror ball table adornment. It was just the perfect touch for not wanting to make a big deal out of my birthday. The menu can be a little overwhelming, since they have so many great combinations of sandwiches, so make sure you review it prior to arriving if you don't want to be rushed into deciding what to order. Looks like they also do band night or something similar as next door and adjacent and connected is a stage for entertainment. The restroom hallway is adorned with band members signatures from all the bands, I'm assuming, that have performed there. Pretty cool!

    Ask the Community - Hen & Heifer

    Hi! Is there A/C?

    Yes and we just installed 5 wall fans yesterday, with that said the building is old and isn't the best at keeping the cold in. I suggest coming in the evening or before 4 if you run hot.

    Are the fried chicken sandwiches fried in beef fat ? Can you order fries not fried in beef fat?

    No not yet we are working on setting up another fryer to accommodate our customers.

    Is this Apollo burger sister restaurant?

    Yes it is. Have youhad Apollos?

    Are they serving beer yet?

    We have our license and are setting up vendors and should be ready by next week!

    Any gluten free options?

    They offer lettuce wrap any burger. The chicken tenders are gluten free. They bread the chicken tenders in flour (in rice flour and potato starch)

    Would you be able to share what kind of oil is used to fry? (Allergies) thank you. 🙏🏾

    Hi they currently use canola oil but they did say that they want to offer Tallow not sure when though. They toast the buns with Tallow.

    Is there egg involved in the preparation for the tenders (egg allergy but traces are ok)?

    No eggs at all. Rice flour, potato starch and buttermilk.

    Are dogs allowed?

    They have a patio.

The bottomless mimosas ($29.99) sound like a great deal, but just know how they run it. There's a 90-minute minimum, and they don't bring a bottle to the table--you get one mimosa at a time, and you have to finish it before they'll bring another. The first one I got tasted like straight orange juice barely any champagne. I sent it back and to their credit, they remade it much better They mentioned they control pours to keep the environment in check, which I understand--but if you're expecting free-pour vibes, that's not the case here. Food-wise: French toast & breakfast potatoes were really good However the Chilaquiles were super dry and lacked flavor--wouldn't recommend Burger & fries were decent, but nothing special As for drink pricing, it does lean a bit on the higher side. bucket of 5 beers was around $42, $15 for a Tito's vodka shot, and even a basic Jack and Coke came out to about $18 with tip, which felt a little steep for the area. the best deal was definitely the green tea shots at only $9 I will say, our waitress Priscilla was great. She had a lot of tables and seemed a bit overwhelmed, but she still made an effort to check on us and kept my mimosas coming pretty promptly. I didn't have to wait long at all between refills, which I appreciated. Since we went for a special event, the DJs were great and really kept the energy up the whole time Parking was easy. It did say there was a $2 fee, but when we printed the ticket, we weren't charged--so it might be free, but I'd still double-check at the kiosk just in case. Overall: decent spot for the vibe, music, and brunch outing, but just be prepared for controlled drinks and slightly higher prices.
