First timers. Some front porch seating outside as a few low and high top tables inside. They offer free cups of water which is a nice touch. We were greeted and ordered the classic grilled chicken sandwich and burger. We cut them in half to enjoy a little of both. The burger was tasty and moist with a tasty sauce. The chicken was overcooked and dry. I asked for light mayo and there were globs all over. We shared their classic fries which were enough for 2 people. Light, not too salty. You bus your own table, which is fine. The thing that really bothered me was the visual video playing as you got up to the counter. It showed a grinder with meat oozing out of it. I get it that it is a meat place but the visual was unnecessary.

The Creaminal: Ground beef patty, Cream Cheese, Jalapeños, Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles, and Jalapeño Dressing

Went to Hen and Heifer before a concert at the Glass House down the street. I heard about it before, specifically some of the larger burgers like the Boss Hog, but I wasn't trying to eat as heavy before a concert. My friends and I got a heavy helping of information from the cashier after he asked if we'd ever been - which none of us had. He went over the menu, assuring us the ingredients were all freshly prepared in-house for the most part. I opted for a lighter (and cheaper) single patty burger - "The Creaminal", which featured a shmear of cream cheese and jalapenos. We also got some fries to share, as we were told an order could be shared between 2-3 people. We got an order of regular sea salted fries, and one order of cajun fries to share between 4 of us. They were right, it was plenty to go around. To start, the burger was good but nothing too extraordinary - especially given the lengthy preamble. But there was definitely some house made quality - and I definitely want to come back and try another burger option. So why give a 4/5 stars? THE FRIES. We were told the fries were fried in beef tallow which piqued our interest. It was immediately apparent that the fries were above average in flavor. I don't think I could stop talking about them for like 4 days. Out of the two, I really liked the seal salt better, but the cajun were also great. I enjoyed how the cajun had plenty kick to it without being overpowering with spice coverage. Even more than the other burgers, I really want to try some chili cheese fries next time I visit. Though, I'm weary it might be trying to fix something that's not broken. The vibe of the restaurant was super chill, order at the counter, can/bottle drinks only, everything sold seperately. It's a little pricey overall, but again there's a lot of in-house ingredient preparation (meat cuts, sauces, etc.). Next time in the area I plan to check it out again and see if I can find a sandwich/burger that can match the flavor of the fries.

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!

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.

Fried Zucchini
Devon G.

Hen & Heifer is a great spot for a good burger! The meat was flavorful and cooked just right, while the fries and fried zucchini were crispy, fresh, and delicious. The staff was friendly and welcoming, and the downtown location with outdoor seating creates a really nice, relaxed vibe. Definitely worth checking out

Hen-Credible ($15.50)
Loren H.

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.

Tendy basket & Big E Smalls burgers with fries.
Elsa H.

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
Christina A.

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.

Burger
Francine L.

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.

Salad box
yeny t.

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.

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!!

Alex F.

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.

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.

First impressions will always matter…read more Cosmo, you failed. I came here on Saturday night to a Halloween party that was hosted by House Parties In da' 90s. The bathrooms were dirty. One of them had a light out. The whole place smelled a little bad. You look nicer on Instagram. The bartenders were not very friendly. The bartender-girl on the very first floor was overcharging for cocktails. A bottle of water was $6.00! Why? The A/C was not turned on till way later. Why? I would never come here again. I wouldn't recommend it. If you leased out the place for this Halloween party let me tell you; no bueno. A fight broke out on the top floor and my party got shoved in the mix along with our cocktails. It was not the experience we were hoping for. So excited to visit you for the first time and this Halloween party and ended up leaving earlier than anticipated. Oh, one of the bars on top floor had no water nor napkins. Just bad service..... I guess it's what happens when you gotta profit one way another. Who knows? We didn't eat, so I don't know what your food is like. My review is based on everything else mentioned which is all constructive unsolicited feedback. Lots of opportunity for improvement. Happy holidays......

I've eaten here several times over the years, and it's a unique place to get a steak, or even just…read morea burger or a salad. First, I would avoid coming here during the usual busy dinner rush times. The ambiance is very casual, unpretentious, open seating. So when it's busy, it's loud. When it's busy, the servers are juggling multiple fully booked out tables. So if you're the impatient type, don't bother. Every time I've interacted with the staff, they've been as friendly and as accommodating as possible, for the volume of people that come here. It's just that popular. I'd rather come for a lazy lunch or afternoon meal if you're one of those people that need exceptional service and undying attention. The ingredients are pretty much high end. If you're familiar with the difference between dry-aged angus beef, wagyu raised in the US, or Australia, or New Zealand, or straight from Japan, you'll realize Meat Cellar offers the best cuts of beef around in Inland Empire. Very much the kind of quality you can find at Cut, Matu, Alexander's, Mastro's, etc. Except you don't to drive out through ass-fuck LA traffic, pay $20 valet parking, dress-up, etc. You could pretty much show up in pajama bottoms and a Sponge Bob T-shirt, and they'll serve and treat you like a fellow human being. Interestingly, whereas a lot of people would drive to LA or Beverly Hills to eat a prestigious steak house, it's also the opposite here, where people are driving from Orange County or Santa Clarita to eat here specifically as regulars. On the "lower" priced end, their fried chicken and fancy burger are pretty solid options to order. I also like getting their steak-frites with wagyu blade upgrade, the wagyu picanha, and the dry-aged ribeye. The cuts of beef itself does distinct itself in flavor by how much marbling to beef there is, and certainly dry-aged has a certain lovely, umami, earthy, nutty character to it. Personally, they're all good on their own with just salt - there are an array of sauce add-ons you can get. I can do without the salmon or the filet mignon, but then again, my palate is on team fatty savory flavor. Their sides are doable, though they tend to be all sharing portions. Fries are decent too, cooked in tallow fat. So keep that in mind, you might not like the texture and aroma of fries cooked in animal fat if you're used to eating trans-fatty vegetable oils your whole life.

Stellar service, exceptional burger and such a 10/10 dining experience there! So happy we chose…read moreMeat cellar to celebrate a birthday with good food- especially the burger & the steak platter.
