    Perfect fries. More than enough for Two and so fresh and yummy.
    Keegan P.

    We've been tempted by Hen & Heifer for quite sometime. Once they announced that they were serving beer, my husband came to me and said "It is time..." We went in on a Saturday night at about 7pm. The nearby Glasshouse had a line down the street, and downtown Pomona was abuzz. So they were quite busy. I ordered two sliders medium well, and my husband ordered the Blue Bacon Burger, as he does whenever there is one. One of my sliders was very, very rare, I let a staff member know, and wit no hesitation they remade it very quickly. It's a busy Saturday, these things happen and they fixed it promptly. Now for my husbands Blue Bacon Burger. He LOVED this burger "10/10, no notes" he raved about it. He said it's might be the best he's ever had. And the fries, friends and neighbors let me tell you about the fries. They took me back to my childhood when my Abuelita would make fresh fries from scratch. These were absolutely not frozen and seasoned just perfectly. And one side is more than enough for 2 people. I will happily vouch, and joyfully return to the Hen &Heifer in beautiful downtown Pomona any day of the week A post mean stroll to the nearby record and game shops made this an absolutely perfect date.

    I came here with a group of friends and overall had a pretty good experience. The customer service was great, and the staff was friendly and helpful throughout our visit. The food itself was good, and I really liked that they have a wide variety of options on the menu, there's definitely something for everyone. That said, my order did get messed up twice, which was a bit frustrating. The first time, they were quick to fix it, but when it happened again, I didn't say anything because my friend's food was getting cold while we waited. I do wish they had been a bit more careful with order accuracy. The gentleman did say they had a new cook in the kitchen and apologized for the mistake. On a positive note, the lemonade was excellent, super refreshing and definitely something I'd recommend. We also sat outside, and the seating area was really nice and comfortable, which added to the overall experience. Despite the mix-up, I'd still come back to try other items on the menu and give them another shot.

    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.

    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.

    Blues burger was smaller than it looked.

    Really good burger. The fries were not great and i would probably not order them again. Decided to put my hand in the picture to show the actual size of the burger. I thought they would be bigger judging from the pics on here.

    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!

    Their pastrami burger with avocado and onion rings
    Max G.

    I think it's important to note that I would hace tried this place significantly sooner had I known that they cook all their food in BEEF TALLOW. Idk if they're completely seed oil free, though. Nonetheless, we tried it today, and I absolutely regret...... NOT TRYING THIS PLACE SOONER! I don't remember the name of the burger I modified, but it was a monster already that came with 2 patties and pastrami. Since starting a seed oil free modified animal based diet, I had stopped eating burger's as often unless made at home. I have to admit, thos will be the go to place for burger's and tallow fries. Their tallow fries were absolutely delicious, best I've had so far at any restaurant. Staff was friendly, welcoming, and very informative. Great staff always adds to the dining experience. It was nice being able to choose our seating. Music at the time was clean and family friendly.

    Came here Sunday after church with some friends. Everyone enjoyed their food. I had the specialty chicken sandwich and it's a hefty portion. Chicken was seasoned well and I enjoyed the slaw. Another person in our group had the pastrami fries and seemed to like. My husband did one of the burgers and said it was really good. This is not a full service restaurant but the manager and cashier came to check on us and invite us back. Loved the wall decor/art.

    Craving a burger and decided to check out Hen & Heifer in Pomona. We came in on a Monday afternoon so it wasn't too busy. Kenny rang us up and was very attentive and polite. We decided to split The Boss Hog. It had 2 patties and pastrami. Definitely enough to share! We also got chili cheese fries and a 5 piece zucchini. The chili fries were delicious I love that it had enough chili for all of the fries they definitely didn't skimp on anything. The fried zucchini was awesome!! They're thinly sliced so they are nice and crunchy instead of being thick and slimey. We also got a chance to try the fresh lemonade and it was made to perfection! The food came out hot and fresh. They have a cute outdoor area to eat at. We sat outside and enjoyed our late lunch for the day. If you're in the area and craving a burger check this place out. The food is great and the service is even better!!!

    Chili Cheese Fries
    Theresa M.

    Food! is absolutely amazing! Service was outstanding, and being in downtown Pomona a lot going on so of course you have music playing all around. If you sit outside you can enjoy the crowds walking by! Just overall have to say highly recommended!

    Great selection
    Rosa G.

    Brunch to celebrate my husband and brother in law's Bdays. Love the decor stars on the ceiling, funny paintings on the wall. Our first time took our time to check the menu and after that my Mexican hamburger was delish, love the poblano chili, the meat was very tasteful and juicy. The place got hit with a long line at times. We were sitting and enjoying ourselves and James approach us to ask if everything was good and we told him that it was our first time and I gave us a card for a free side for our next time. We will be back

    Ask the Community - Hen & Heifer

    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.

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.
