Cowboy Chilaquiles

LOVE the Norco location and thought it would be the same here, but I was disappointed. This place is busier, crowded, and the food wasn't as good despite the menu being the same. You order at the register, pay and are directed to a table (inside or outside, whichever you prefer). Luckily we ordered and were seated before the line got long & out the door. Employees were friendly but service was lacking as they simply drop off your order at your table and no longer check up on you. Our food arrived after a short wait. The only dish that we received hot/warm was the pancakes. My loco moco seemed as if it was sitting for a while, was barely room temp and the gravy seemed to solidify to an almost thick jelly consistency :( On the plus side, the Hawaiian iced coffee was delicious.

Great Hawaiian inspired brunch spot with a casual ambiance. You order at the register and then they find a table for you. There is no waitlist or reservations so the line can get pretty long on the weekend. Their macadamia nut French toast and loco moco are pretty popular. I also enjoy their fresh squeezed orange juice. I'd pass on the pancakes.. they were a little undercooked and not that great in my opinion.

I've seen this cafe being advertised to me on Yelp for quite some time, so I decided I needed to make a visit! Parking is difficult, especially on the weekends. We couldn't seem to find a parking spot and ended up parking on the street. This wasn't a full service type of restaurant. You order your food with the cashier after she finds a table for you. You pay and then situate yourself at the table. Your food and drink will be delivered to you, and that's that. Not saying that we minded, but I wanted to give other Yelpers a fair warning that you can't exactly put your name down on a waitlist. After looking at the menu, we decided to order their Loco Moco with Portuguese Sausages and try their ube waffle. We also decided to try their P.O.G. juice which comprised of pineapples, oranges, and guava juice. It didn't take long for our food to come out. Their Loco Moco was delicious and quite filling; my fiancé and I had to share. Their ube waffle was a bit overwhelming only because I'm not a crazy sweet tooth. There are pools of ube on the Belgian waffle, with coconut syrup and strawberry slices. I did really like their juice because it had a great combination of fruits. As we eat, we are enjoying the sunlight out in the patio. We are also listening to Hawaiian music being played in the background. Very aesthetic. I can see myself coming here frequently, especially when I have a craving. Great food and quick service!

Long lines but worth it. Food was okay, took me back to Hawaii. Will order for takeout next time to save time waiting in line.

Aloha Scramblers Cafe! Been driving past Scramblers Cafe for weeks, and we finally decided to stop in for breakfast. Walked in about 8:30ish, several tables busy, but no wait. Ordered our breakfast at the counter, and was brought to a table. Our food came out super fast. I had the harvest eggs Benedict, and my husband had a breakfast burrito. Both were so yummy! There are so many other yummy items on the menu that we're looking forward to try. Service is warm and friendly, and the restaurant is very clean.

Spam Musubi Bowl & Auntie Lily's Meatball
Steph Q.

My husband and I used to dine at their original location in Norco frequently. We were thrilled to see they opened up another location in Ontario, which is a bit closer for us when we're down in this area of the IE. They continue to bring unique flavors inspired by Hawaiian favorite dishes at this location and we were ecstatic to see our favorite items from their original location on the Ontario menu. Definitely a solid first visit. Scramblers Cafe in Ontario is located within a strip of businesses very close to Ontario Mills. They have free parking shared among the other businesses. The establishment seems to have a better layout and more seating than their other location; which is a plus. Their staff also seemed to have a good system down of seating customers AFTER they've placed their orders to ensure there isn't an issue with people just hoarding tables/seats. My family and I came in on a weekday for breakfast and they were pretty busy. The staff we interacted with were helpful and friendly. There was a little bit of a wait on our food, but again, they were busy for a weekday. Everything we ordered was tasty! Our order consisted of - Kalua Pork Benedict - Captain Mac'Nut French Toast - Spam Musubi Bowl & Auntie Lily's Meatball The food was really good and definitely made fresh. The Captain Mac'Nut French Toast is one of our favorites and definitely did not disappoint. The Spam Musubi Bowl with the "Meatball" was also good. The meatball wasn't really what I expected, but it wasn't bad; just different. I think my only gripe with the meal was the cost. Yes, I understand the cost of everything is up right now. However, the cost of the items seems to be high for the portion sizes and what you're ordering. For example, although the French Toast is great, I can't justify $15 for four pieces (literally two slices of bread cut in half). The Spam Musubi Bowl was also OVER $15 and, for most of the plate being rice with some scoops of spam, I can't justify it. We love what they're serving over at Scramblers Cafe in Ontario and, again, the food and service were good. It just isn't going to be a staple place we can frequent for overall value.

Turkey avocado sandwich with this crispy fries with a dipping sauce. Very good
Dorris T.

Stopped in to have something to eat while my husband took care of an account. Had the Turkey avocado sandwich with cheese. It came with delish fries that were double fried I think. But they had a nice crispy crust on them and so tasty. The restaurant is very clean and nicely decorated with Hawaiian music which made me feel like I was in Hawaii. The bathrooms are just beautiful and nicely decorated. Great service and food was very fresh. Recommend this place for sure.

Loco moco
Karen B.

Ono aka Delicious! First time trying this spot that went kinda viral and I'm glad I did. You order at the counter and then find a table. They will bring your food to you. This place gets a bit busy so it's best to come early. There is outside seating too. The Loco Moco was great! Serving is pretty big. Love the gravy. Reminds me of one of my favorite places on Oahu called Pancakes & Waffles BLD. The gravy and make or break a loco Moco. Portuguese Sausage was delicious. I definitely had enough rice from my loco Moco to enjoy it with. Ube coconut pancakes were yummy too! Not like fluffy pancakes. They were more like mochi pancakes. Ube and coconut sauce were great and complimented each other nicely.

We came here on a weekday morning and they were quite busy, but our order was taken quickly and service was friendly. We ordered: Clubhouse Benedict $16 Florentine Omelette $16 Ube iced coffee 6.50 Regular coffee 4.00 The food was just okay. The potatoes had hardly any seasoning and the omelette had the same problem with two sad slices of cheese slapped on the outside as seen in the photo. Would be nicer to use shredded cheese, so that it can be mixed with the eggs and is more evenly distributed throughout. The Benedicts were good, the yolk on point. The Ube iced coffee was kinda weak and the Ube flavor not very strong.

Kalua Pork Benedict
Emily L.

I hardly ever go out for brunch (let alone bfast) but this place has been on my list! Apparently they are a part of the Aloha Stacks brand I ordered the kalua pork eggs benedict with over easy eggs instead and it was SO YUM!!! The only other time I've had something like this was in Hawaii. The homefries were really good too, crispy and soft. The price was average for the portion and the restaurant was busy but not packed (we didn't have much of a wait). You order at the counter and they assign you a table Definitely coming back to try their other items!

Rosabell M.

My hubby had been wanting to try this place for a while, and we finally made it out here! The restaurant was clean and well kept, and the service was friendly and attentive from start to finish. It's the type of spot where you order at the register first, grab a seat, and they bring the food out to you. We ordered the Island Chilaquiles, Loco Moco, fresh orange juice, and plain black coffee ...everything was delicious, we really enjoyed our breakfast. We're already looking forward to coming back to try the lemon ricotta pancakes next time!

-HAWAIIAN BBQ BEEF & Eggs
Shelby C.

Food: The food has been SO good every time we've been here. On multiple occasions and we've loved it every time. The bbq beef was the best thing I've ever had here it's by far my favorite. The fried rice was so good. It all came out hot and fresh. Service: When you get there you go up to the counter and order and they appoint you a table to sit out and bring the food out to you. There are people walking around. Making sure everything is okay! They are always so friendly and polite. Inside: The inside is very big and very clean. They have a lot of tables inside and outside. Outside: There is a lot of parking and very easy to find! If there is a long line don't let it scare you away they get through the line pretty quick. Would totally recommend! And we will be back soon

Loco moco
Katy S.

Scramblers has been on our radar for places to try, and we are already dying to go back! When we arrived, there was a line going out the door to order. We maybe waited 10 minutes to place our orders, and it was worth it. I really like the way it's set up, you order and pay up front and the cashier designates a numbered table for you and your party. The customer service is also awesome here, everyone is very friendly! Scrambles definitely is more of a relaxed atmosphere. As for the food, it is delicious. We tried the loco moco and the ube pancakes. The loco moco was good, but the ube pancakes are a must! They are literally the most perfect pancakes I have ever had. I'm not one for a sweet breakfast item, but I would come in just for these pancakes. We can't wait ti come back! We'll definitely try a new savory item next time, but will be ordering the ube pancakes again!

Bor pen nyang. The…read moreLaotian expression, more or less, for "sh*t happens." Your favorite Yelp correspondent and occasional Uber Eats driver found himself in the northeast corner of Ontario after ferrying a Mediterranean meal from my hometown of Diamond Bar to Ontario when my attention was riveted by the "Kra Z Kai's Laotian BBQ" signage alight on the building. Upon entering into the communal dining hall, I discovered that Kra Z Kai's apparently shuttered a month ago. I immediately noticed the long queue snaking its way to the register at Shootz. Though I was crestfallen about Kra Z Kai's closure, I decided to roll the dice -shootz my luck, if you'll pardon my brutal pun- and try out Shootz. I tabbed the best looking item on their pictorial menu- Their much balkyhooed Kimchi Buttered Katsu Chicken Combo, which comes with spicy Mac Salad and steamed rice tossed with green onions and furikake, a popular Nipponese seasoning comprised of minced dried seaweed (nori), sesame seeds and salt/pepper. The moneymaker dish is excellent. The katsu chicken has a nice but not overly crunchy exterior, drenched in a flavorful, Umani-rich sauce made of kimchi butter. Shootz has locations in Ontario, Whittier and Stanton, so I don't know when I'll have it again...but if I I find myself in Ontario again, then I'll definitely take -you guessed it- another shot.

One of our…read morefavorite Hawaiian restaurants is Aloha Hawaiian Barbecue in Costa Mesa near South Coast Plaza, so we had high expectations going in. The portions here were a little smaller, but the quality was amazing. The white rice with furikake was great, and the mac salad was fresh with a slightly sweeter taste, which I loved. I got the teriyaki plate with chicken and beef teriyaki, and both were tender, juicy, flavorful, and well marinated. The short ribs had an amazing glaze, and the chicken katsu, my girlfriend's favorite, was crispy, juicy, and not overfried at all. Their customer service was amazing too. My girlfriend ran in to grab our food and realized after coming back that she forgot the katsu and teriyaki sauces. When she went back in, the girl working was kind enough to grab them and even asked if she wanted to try any other sauces. Great customer service and amazing food, perfect pair! I highly recommend checking this spot out, and we're definitely looking forward to coming back.

As I was taking him there, the other worker told me we couldn't use the restroom because she's about "TO CLEAN THE RESTROOM." Who denies a customer and especially a kid who needed to use the restroom!!!!??? We had a long drive back home. That was soo rude of her! I wish I got her name. The Mexican restaurant on the other side was nice enough to let him use their restroom even though we weren't a customer.

But the bbq chicken and bbq beef were right on the money. I did have a problem paying $24 for one combo and one drink, as even with these three items, I was still expecting the meal to not be more than $20 total. That will be the main reason I probably won't return. The service was good. It was quick and friendly. And the ambiance was alright too as everything was clean, efficient, and not distracting. I just agree with the statement earlier that there are better rice bowl, hawaiian, and/or teriyaki food joints in the area at either a much better quality or better pricing. This seems to find that line where what you get, though good, is a bit over-priced for what you get and there is no recourse to get something smaller because then you will be over-paying and still hungry. I'd almost give this place a 4 though because I did enjoy the meal quality-wise.
