    From the moment we stepped foot in the door smelled like DIRTY GREASE!! That should've been our sign to walk out but we didn't... We stayed and was seated in a booth that had about 10 flies Swarming around us was disgusting and gross. Men's restroom was disgusting. 2/10 Bacon was very good. 8.5/10 Sourdough toast with homemade strawberry jam was good. 8/10 Pancakes were average. 6/10 My over easy egg was good. 7/10 Bowl of green chili was nothing to write home about... Was a 6/10 Will not be visiting here again.

    We stopped by Starvin' Arvin's in Montrose during a family trip, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience! We chose this spot based on other positive reviews and are glad we did. The diner has a wide selection of comfort foods, and they serve everything all day, including breakfast. Upon arriving, we were greeted and seated right away, which was perfect since we had kids in tow. My wife ordered the eggs Benedict with hashbrowns and was thrilled with her choice. She especially loved the hashbrowns, saying, "I love it when a place does hashbrowns right!" Our two kids had chicken strips and fries, while our third got a chicken sandwich. Everyone was satisfied with their meals.I went with the Bleu bacon burger and fries, along with a side of green chili. The burger was huge and absolutely delicious! It was my first time trying the green chili, and I was impressed - it had a noticeable kick but wasn't overpowering. Prices were reasonable for the quality and quantity of food, making Starvin' Arvin's a great choice for families. If you're looking for a quick, satisfying meal with a laid-back atmosphere, I'd highly recommend it!

    Well, Texas doesn't always do it BIGGER.... meet Starvin' Arvin'... It's something between IHOP/Denny's meets Heart Attack Grill in Vegas.... I liked it! It was my first time visiting Montrose, or Colorado for that matter.... and the portion sizes here are HUGE! You will not leave hungry. Prices compared to California are amazing! Love me a good seating booth. I had the crepe.... family members had the other items. All in all, I would definitely return here for a redo. If you're in the area, stop by for some hearty breakfast or lunch!

    Is there a 10 star rating?! This place is outta Thai world good. Portions are GINORMOUS!!! Seriously, one order is enough to feed a family of four. We made the mistake of ordering 4 orders for 4 people...and we all ate until our bellies were bursting and barely made a dent in the food. Besides the huge portions, the food TASTED big and bold, and DELICIOUS!!! The cinnamon bun is really a heaven on a plate. Now...if only calories don't count here...

    Does not have a guest wifi but four is good and service is friendly bla bla bla bla bla

    Gluten free blueberry pancakes

    The service is exceptional and we were seated right away! For gluten sensitive folks, I had blueberry GF pancakes with that were delicious and such a treat!!!! You have the option to get a cinnamon roll with your meal and it was at least 8" across. It just melted in your mouth! The hash browns were good and their selection of teas was great! Def recommend!!

    Pros- got in quick, only option for food before 11 except 2 others, got food quick, bacon was expensive per piece but so good, gluten free options?- (see cons) Cons- gluten free options. They don't have gluten free bread but had gluten free waffles and pancakes. I ordered gluten free waffles and they tasted awful. I looked at the inside of the waffles and they were made with oatmeal from what it looked and somewhat tasted like? They had 0 flavor and were a weird texture. They were sketchy if you're gluten free due to health. I'm not sure if these were actually gluten free. I've also never been somewhere with gluten free waffles that didn't use a gluten free flour batter with a designated waffle machine and used oatmeal instead. I ended up not eating much breakfast before my flight.

    Holy cow what a breakfast, the cinnamon roll that came with the breakfast was out of this world! Come here for that and the service if nothing else!

    Food was mediocre at best. Atmosphere was disgusting - manager was wearing a tee shirt with obscene gestures on it.

    So sad to update this review but after our recent experiences I feel it's necessary…read more A couple months ago when the weather was still nice me and my husband decided to sit on the patio. We ordered 2 grilled mother cluckers and bock bock fries (our go to). It was about 4pm and there were only a few people there (we were the only ones outside). After about 40 minutes waiting for our food I decided to go in to check on things. Our order was sitting on the counter. Their response was "sometimes the buzzer doesn't work from the table you're sitting at"..... ummmmm what? We ended up eating the cold chicken (and I mean cold, not luke warm) sandwiches because we were starving but asked them to remake the fries. Fast forward to a few weeks ago it was a Friday and me and a friend ordered some sandwiches and sat in the back half of the brewery . After about 25 minutes my buzzer went off. When I got up to the counter there was an order of fish and chips... they called the wrong buzzer. No biggie. Well another 20 minutes went by and nothing. People around us that ordered after us were getting their food. So I went back up to the counter and there on their service line were our chicken sandwiches. When I asked the employee about my order she went back and checked and came back and said "we just finished them up". I took the sandwiches back to the table and again they were COLD. Not to mention since the coleslaw was sitting on the bun they were completely soggy. Didn't take the sandwiches back because we had a baby with us that needed to go to bed. I'm not sure if it's a buzzer issue or what. But we aren't sure if / when we will be returning to Pomona, sadly.

    First time here. We ordered the Philly sandwich and it did not disappoint. The meat was just right,…read morethe cheese was perfect and not overpowering. But the detail I liked the most is that the bread was perfectly toasted, and it had a nice, even butter flavor. It came with some waffle fries that went well with it. It was priced fairly. The environment is restaurant and bar, but during lunch time it was calm, and not too packed. Legit spot for lunch.

My fave is the Dynamite Roll (shrimp tempura, cream cheese topped with jalapeno, sriracha, masago, spicy mayo and eel sauce)...seriously...it's DYN-A-MITE!!!! Always get the edamame...reg or spicy (prefer the spicy but both are good!). Recently ordered the chicken fried rice and it was so delicious! The wine makes us happy because they provide a generous pour for your money unlike many other local restaurants. Bottom line, the food is fresh and incredible...service is always impeccable! But the real 5+ stars about Hiro is all about the owners and staff. They are professional and kind (with a lovely touch of humor) and ALWAYS make you feel like you're an extension of their family. Sometimes hero's don't always wear capes, because the real Hiro's here lie within the strong bond and passion this family has for their restaurant. You know how much I love to support local businesses and this is no exception...Howard and his wife Dewi offer a unique and quintessential restaurant that is much needed in our community. Highly recommend so be sure to Check them out!
