    Pastrami Dip Sandwich
    Andy T.

    Been to numerous The Hat locations before. This is a location that feels very spacious. There's a lot of parking available in a large lot, plenty of seating indoors, and a few outdoors. There's also a drive thru! I went on a Saturday at around 11:30 AM. It was moderately busy at the time but still plenty of seating available. I was able to order right away and it took around 6 minutes for everything to be ready. They do accept American Express as a payment option. I ordered (3) pastrami dip sandwiches and (2) chili cheese fries. The staff recognized that was a lot for one person to carry so he offered to give me a box. He went to the back to grab it, assembled it, and packaged everything neatly. It was very sturdy and made it easy to carry the order. Service is quick and great here!

    Pastrami Dip ($12.60 - Above View)
    Ian A.

    I had a nice experience at The Hat (Glendora). I ordered the Pastrami Dip ($12.60) and the Chili Fries ($8.60) with Melted Cheddar Cheese (additional $1.99). The food includes well-prepared ingredients, big portions, and comforting flavors. I left full. (Important Note: This location includes a drive-thru.) I arrived at The Hat (Glendora) on Saturday (around 4:10PM). Parking is easy. The private lot is fairly big, and I quickly found a spot. The location was fairly empty during my arrival; however, the place got extremely busy as 5PM neared. I counted over eight cars in the drive thru. Staff is professional, efficient, and helpful. Staff answered all my questions, and Staff worked hard. To my utter shock, my food was ready in 25 seconds!!!! That's insanely fast! I wonder if they just prioritize dine-in over the drive thru. The food is filling. The Pastrami Dip ($12.60) arrived somewhat shriveled. It had an ugly, squished appearance, but the quality felt present. The bread is fluffy and springy. The pastrami is tender, juicy, and well-seasoned. Its pickle slice is also zesty and crisp. The flavors were satisfying. The Chili Fries ($8.60) with Melted Cheddar Cheese (additional $1.99) arrived picturesque. It looked gorgeous with its melted, stretchy cheddar cheese. Surprisingly, its chili came boiling hot. The chili is very wet, pasty, and under-seasoned. The fries are thick, hot, and squishy. And the melted cheddar cheese saves this bland chili fries with its stretchy texture and fresh cheddar flavor. At the very least, this dish is very big with satisfying textures. Regarding ambiance, The Hat (Glendora) is very spacious and clean. There's many interior tables, and there's several outside tables. The tables, floor, and windows are very shiny and well-maintained. This location also has high-chairs for families. There's also two gender neutral restrooms. The music is also very soft. The decor is tasteful, and it captures the feeling of history as it proudly displays photos of the past. Overall, The Hat (Glendora) is a good destination for comfort food. I appreciated my filling meal. And I left with plenty of leftovers. If curious, I recommend. 4.6 out of 5

    Decided to drive down on a Friday evening at about 7:30 PM. I expected to find a long drive-through line, but there was about five in front of me. The line goes super fast. Service here is great, sometimes friendly sometimes just business like. Probably due to the amount of people they're helping at a time. I got the pastrami sandwich and the wet fries with gravy. Both were delicious and a huge portion. I opted to split both items plenty for two of us. They do have new sandwiches a tuna melt, veggie cucumber with provolone and avocado and a ham and cheese melt. Did not try these, but they looked good. As far as ambience, as other yelpers have stated there's plenty of room inside, a few tables outside and plenty of parking. I would also note that they have large vehicle parking in the back to accommodate even trailers. Fast food, delicious, ambience perfect for a fast food place and service, quick and professional. Definitely worth trying this place if you love pastrami.

    Been going to the hat since I was a kid. It's always a hit whenever I'm craving fast food. The amount of pastrami that they give you is insane. The price is definitely justified with their portion sizes. My usual order is the pastrami chili cheese fries. I decided to try their pastrami sandwich and it was also delicious! Was stuffed with meat. I think their chili cheese fries are honestly my favorite. Service was excellent. We got our orders quickly and the hat has plenty of seating inside. The tables are clean too. Would highly recommend!

    I stopped by The Hat and ordered their pastrami chili cheese fries--and wow, they are still as good as I remember them to be! The portion was huge, definitely enough to share (though I wasn't complaining about keeping most of it to myself). The pastrami was perfectly seasoned, piled high, and paired so well with the rich chili and gooey melted cheese. Every bite was indulgent and packed with flavor. The service was quick, and even though it was busy, the staff kept things moving smoothly.

    Double cheeseburger, ON POINT

    This Hat location has quite a large parking lot so you should always have parking available. Inside the staff are friendly and ready to knock out your order quickly. Plenty of seating, inside and out. The food is always delicious and needs to be tasted to believe. Always a fan of the chili cheese fries and the double cheeseburger was on point. Please come down and support them, still very affordable as well

    Chili cheese fries
    Jesus N.

    Stopped by The Hat and ordered the pastrami with the dip and chili fries. Easily one of the better pastrami sandwiches I've had very authentic, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The dip really brought everything together and made the sandwich even better. The chili cheese fries were solid too. You can tell the chili was fresh, not canned or overly greasy, which made a big difference. The service was standard. They are Very direct and get your order done quickly. The place was clean and loved the ambiance. It had a very classic dinner feel which felt very warm and comforting. Simple, classic, and done right. Definitely worth the stop.

    These types of reviews are tricky as this is a place with a drive thru window. The Hat is a classic Route 66 stop in Glendora. Founded 70 years ago. This location is not old but they do a nice homage to the original. Wood Paneling on walls, naugahyde seats. It not a dive though. Clean as a whistle. It's an order at the counter steam table place. Service super quick as they had several people working Now, to the pastrami. It's very good and serving is large.

    The Hat. What can I say? It's been a staple for 70 years for good reason. My go-to is the pastrami dip. And extra dip. Today, my lunch plans cancelled and I was needing a quick bit by myself, so I dropped in. Wooden walls, fast service, horchata and Orange Bang... all the things I love about The Hat other than the food. Grabbed a cheeseburger and small fry today. Which, btw shouldn't be overlooked. The burger has a tomato, chopped fresh lettuce, cheese, and thousand island. Mmmm. Kinda want another. The small fry is anything but small, tossed in a brown paper bag with extras on the side. I'll be taking 2/3rds of them home. Gotta give The Hat a 5 for exactly what I wanted and needed today. Fast service, great food, throwback atmosphere. Or, if in a hurry, the drive thru is always an option too.

    Pastrami Chili Fries
    Charnie D.

    A late night eat at the best pastrami fries join in SoCal. They always pack their fries with pastrami and chili cheese. It is a necessity to add tomatoes and pickles to help with the balance of each bite. The chili/cheese could be overpowering and salty pickle and fresh tomatoes give it some balance. The onion rings were crispy and not overly battered compare to other places. They give you a generous serving and you will need a group to tackle it.

    Pastrami sandwich, grilled cheese, and wet fries
    Karissa L.

    I thought this place was ok. The pastrami sandwich was really good but the grilled cheese had way too much much cheese but me personally i don't like that much cheese in mine so that might have been just me! The wet fries i thought it was white gravy i should have asked but it was dark gravy. I don't really care too much for dark gravy and the fries were really soggy! The service was ok they forgot about our order so we waited a while. The guy that was at the register was really nice. But overall wasn't that good. The place was really clean though and alot of places to sit! Id prob come back and just try something different honestly!

    Pastrami sandwich
    Lourdes V.

    On my recent Cali trip I made a quick stop for my favorite pastrami sandwich & gravy fries. Nostalgic!!! The pastrami sandwich is not the standard deli version, this one is shaved pastrami on a roll with mustard and pickles. The pastrami burger is a juicy burger with pastrami on top. Don't forget the little yellow chilis, sometimes you get a spicy one otherwise they're pretty mild. The small fries are a huge order, perfect for sharing with another person. The wet fries are smothered in hot brown gravy (so good!)! The dining room is clean, there is some outdoor seating also, service is fast & friendly. Drive thru moves fast.

    Double cheeseburger. Trust... it's a lot bigger than it looks in the pic!!

    Had a quick trip to CA from Nevada. We decided to stop at the Hat before getting on the road. We shared a pastrami there and took one home.

    I was very disappointed in the roast beef dip. You over $10.00 and only get two small pieces of meat.

    Food is great - little expensive but big portions. No need to order fries or onion rings for each. They are shareable!

    Are furry paws allowed?

    They allow our fur-babies in the patio seating outside, but not inside. :)

    Does this location have a drive thru?

    Yes

    Do they put fresh onion on the tuna sandwich? If they don't can you ask for it? I'm weird and I love fresh onion on my tuna sandwich!

    You can always ask them to add onions to your sandwich. I enjoy my tuna sandwich with onions as well.

    What do you cook your fries in?

    with sand oil

    Searched for a good option for a group of hungry guys with an appetite. So glad I picked this Curry…read morePizza spot because it definitely hit the spot. About an hour before, I went onto their website to place the order. A few minutes after confirming the order, I realized I needed to make an adjustment on one of them. I called the store and they were able to amend and accommodate. When it comes to pick-up, this store is located in a large plaza. I came about 30 minutes after ordering and everything was ready. The pick-up process was very smooth and they gave extra peppers, cheese, etc. Even before I got to try the pizza, I knew it was going to be AMAZING based on the smells that took over my car. For the total order, I got the following items: - Tandoori and Tikka Masala (Half/Half - Large) - Butter Chicken (No tomato, onions, cilantro - Medium) - Chili Paneer (Small) - Pesto Breadsticks - Loaded Curry Waffle Fries Personally, I tried a bit of everything aside from the butter chicken and had a pleasant experience with all of them. My personal favorite was the chili paneer since it had a slight spice kick. For the waffle fries, I highly recommend to enjoy that early on, as it gets soggy over time. My friends also had great remarks about the flavors. Looking forward to giving this place another try in the future!

    Ordered off the website and got delivery (free!)…read more First impression I was disappointed with the samosa because they were very smal compared to the website BUT HOLY COW THEY ARE DELICIOUS. Now I'm sad bc I wanted more. Crispy like a panko breading and a side of butter sauce. I could eat 10. Delicious. Wings were good sized ($10.99 for 6). Could have been fried a little longer but nice and meaty and the sauce is good. Our ranch came open and spilled all over the bag so that was a bummer. Both pizzas were very tasty. $17.99 for a small, but it was more than enough because they do not skimp on toppings at all. I wish the crust was a little crispier or chewier maybe a little more salty. It didn't have a great handmade crust feel or flavor and it wasn't chewy like 00 flour. I would probably try the thin crust next time. But the flavor of the ingredient toppings was fantastic. I got the butter chicken one, and as you can see from my photo it was absolutely loaded with chicken. You could taste the sauce, the red onion, and the chicken. This was seriously a yummy pizza. The spice level was perfect. Enough to have a tingle but not so hot you can't taste. And super super filling. My husband got the spicy pepperoni. He loved the big pepperoni on there. It was ooey and gooey. He felt similarly about the crust, but I bet you tomorrow in the air fryer that will be nice. We also like a thin crispy crust, regardless. Overall, super fun and creative idea that was well executed. Will eat again!
