Food is to dry never going back fries no flavor just was expecting more about this place

Great service, great easy menu with the best pastrami sandwich's around. Plenty of food will not leave hungry.

I was craving for some onion rings and my co workers have recommended this place to me. I ordered the large size onion rings with tuna sandwich while my husband ordered the roast beef sandwich. The tuna sandwich was delicious and a decent size. Also, it wasn't very expensive. The onion rings was crispy and yummy with ketchup and ranch. I would definitely come here again and try other items on the menu. If you haven't been here, you should give it a try. The staff were friendly and there is tons of parking spaces. read more

This is the second time we have tried to eat here . First time I unwrapped my sandwich to find a fly we called and got told to come back for a remake. I was so grossed out I didn't want a remake but that's all they offered. We went again on Saturday and I was eating and said ok this is really good then found not one but two long hairs mixed in with the meat. It is so beyond disgusting. read more

The worst thing to me is great food with bad customer service. I ordered chili cheese pastrami fries. I got home to no pastrami. I went back and they charged me for the pastrami and wouldn't remake my food only offered me a side of pastrami. When asked for fresh food because I drove home and my food was beginning to get soggy I was told that wasn't going to happen. I wasn't issued a refund or anything. This isn't my first non favorable experience but I thought maybe it was just an off day but get the last couple of years this has been how it's gone it's unfortunate. read more

This location is especially secluded compared to most in Southern California. I highly recommend if you'd like to avoid the lines for the same great taste we have grown up with. 5 star for location and the food read more

The amount of food you receive is enough to share. French dip is delicious, along with the onion rings. I was happy they served the old school orange bang to drink. Everything was fresh and hot when my wife and I received it. read more

Great food! The chili burger had so much flavor! It was delicious! The pastrami sandwich was very fresh and the meat was perfect. Onion rings were don't perfectly. I would probably skip the fries next time. The staff was very nice and give us a lot of condiments! Great food! read more

The Hat - My fries were old, appears refried, and nasty..... The food wasn't good either... it used to be delicious, but lately, not so much. - Fast Food Near Me - Upland, California

I have so many nostalgic memories at The Hat. I have been here with my family, close friends and even a few former paramours. Growing up in Upland, this was one of the only things we have going for us... and probably one of the only decent spots to eat at late hours. My go-to item to share is the Chili Fries ($6.99). It is HUGE!! I would say it could feed 4 people. If you group is feeling extra hungry or the need for protein, you can also Add Pastrami ($?). The fries are crispy for the pieces on the edge and softer towards the center where they are smothered with chili and cheese. If you choose at add the pastrami it adds a salty meaty element to each bite. If you happen to be alone, and that Chili Fries is too epic, any pastrami or chili product has my endorsement. Such as the Pastrami Burger ($9.99) or Chili Dog ($4.39). Definitely not a healthy meal, but a great place for late night or drunk munchies. Every time I come back I always have the fondest feelsss. read more

Easy drive thru experience for a quick grilled cheese. Fairly priced, buttery bread, I could see this translating into one of their more epic sandwiches. Definitely worth a try! read more

The pastrami burger is my favorite item from this place. It's massive! It's filling! And since it's not doing any favors to my cholesterol, I only try to get one once or twice a year. The service is also prompt at the registers and I like to watch the workers make the food. The location is normally busy but there is always a clean booth to sit down and eat. The Hat has been doing its thing since the early 1950s and I hope they're here doing there thing long after I'm gone. read more

Chili cheese fries with hardly any Pastrami. I know times are tough, but what the hell! We've had these several times but never had so little pastrami. For $20, it's not worth it. read more

The Hat - Chili cheese fries with a sprinkle of Pastrami. - Fast Food Near Me - Upland, California

There's a reason The Hat has been in business for more than half a century, its amazing. Anytime I am visiting California we stop and get some delicious pastrami's. It's not a East coast style pastrami sandwich. It's all Californian! One sandwich is plenty for two and if you want fries, one order is plenty for four or five. You can also order fries with gravy, or chili cheese or perhaps you could go cray and have the pastrami fries. They have other items on the menu but honestly I have never made it past the pastrami sandwich. They seem pricey but after you taste the savory sandwich it's worth it! The restaurant is clean and so are the restrooms. There is always plenty of staff in the kitchen getting your order cooked to order and out out to you. At the register taking your order I always seem to get the same gentleman. He is always friendly and in a great mood making you feel welcome. Looking forward to next California visit. read more

Wow what a major disappointment this was . Late Sunday night 11pm Pastrami sandwich and Chili Cheese dog. Way to much cheese and the onions were sliced way to big. Now the real mess the Pastrami was the greasiest sandwich I have ever gotten grease dripping onto the paper they wrap it in it wasn't the dip it was grease because it felt slimy and gross the bread was uneatable because of all the grease it was a big ball of dough. What on gods name happened to this place. A huge waste of 21 dollars. read more

Their pastrami and onion rings are awesome! It's worth the drive out from Redlands, but I happened to be in the area already. Couldn't resist!! read more

Best pastrami in SoCal I love the Hat for pastrami. Heaping piles of tasty juicy pastrami on a hoagie bun. The best . I have been eating at the Hat for years. Never ordered anything but pastrami and fries because that is my favoriteWarning. One order of their chili cheese fries is enough for three or four people. read more

Love this place, no better for a cheese chilli fries with onions, no place, and the onion rings are to die for

Had not been in many years. Simply wasn't the same or at least as I remembered it. The chili cheese fries were the exception, still a huge portion and really good. read more

This place brings back so many childhood memories for me. I started visiting the original hat in Alhambra as a small kid back in the early 80's (guess my age?) and the nostalgia of an original burger stand still holds true at most of these chain locations. Each time I go, it's pretty much the same order. Pastrami cut in half extra pickles (because I can't finish it at one sitting) , small fries (which is always enough to share) & a Root Beer ( I know Soda isn't idea but man, it tastes so good with this greasy goodness!) This place, not this just location has always been a good trip, fast service, quality food and they always put extra napkins in your bag cause you're gonna need them! read more

Whoooaaaa... I haven't been to the Hat for years, and suddenly I show up at the City of Upland location. Yep, came here with another friend during the day at around 2pm when it wasn't so crowded. I'm not sure how long this location has been around, but it's visually on the newer side. We saw pictures of the original Alhambra location and also the Downtown Los Angeles location that was taken many years ago. The Hat has a lot of memories indeed since its inception. The food here is delicious! We had the Pastrami, the Roast Beef Dip, and an order of Chili Fries. Very tasty and satisfying as it hit the spot. Everything was freshly made, and it came out faster than I thought. I was quite impressed by their speed. The Pastrami and the Roast Beef Dip was cut in half (by request) so I could try both. Not the most healthy meal along with its chili fries, but again it was wonderful! Just eat and don't think. Lol. They proportions are huge. Both sandwiches and the chili fries costed $30.00, which is about average for two people anywhere. Plenty of parking during the time we went. A very clean eatery, and the employees are friendly. A solid four stars for a fast food eatery. Good job! read more

This place is good, for basic regular pastrami sanwiches. Would I go back , like one a blue moon, but also when I eat pastrami I'm use to eating Langer's iykyk. read more

If you live pastrami, this is the place! My husband and I shared the chili cheese fries this time. It was hot, the cheese was gooey and melted to perfection. The chili is perfectly spiced and not overly greasy. The fries are still crunchy when served and slowly soak up the goodness. We cannot finish the serving. It can probably feed four. Yummy!! read more

My go to is always the chili cheese fries! It's a good size to share. They are always fast even when there is a lot of people.

I've been eating at the "Hat" since 1999!!!! The pastrami and the chili cheese fries are like non-other!!!!!

I suggest that this place promotes from within. Aka don't come here if you don't have time to wait. I waited 40 mins just to place my order in the drive-thru speaker(I would have never stayed in line if I didn't promise fries to my mom). Multiple cars left the line(missed opportunity ). After I place my order they told me that my wait time will be 10 mins longer aka 20. The person taking my order pretended like he didn't know English... in Upland.... Full time, I waited 1hr read more

The interior the restaurant looked great. However, we did not eat or order indoors we went through the drive-through. The drive-through was very speedy within a minute we had our food and we were driving out. The food was the best we ordered gravy dip, Au Jus, and two sandwiches, which were delicious. I recommend the pastrami roll, which comes on a French roll. read more

Love the burgers from here. Classic and also the pastrami is just fire. The service is always very fast, the employees are nice. I haven't eaten inside but it looks cool from the outside. It is my go to place for good old school burgers. read more

THE BEST. Your life isn't complete until you've had their chili fries with tomato onion and pickle on top.

The particular restaurant has some "shrinkflation" going on. Same price but the pastrami dip isn't as big as it used to be. It use to be a two handed big boy, meal and a half kinda sandwich. Now it's just a regular sized from other places kinda sandwich. read more

We decided on The Hat and got in the line of cars that ran into the street. It was maybe 20 mins waiting to put our order in. We ordered Chili cheese burger, hot dog with pastrami, plain hot dog and I got turkey burger. We took it home and ate dinner. All the foods were in good packaging. We all enjoyed our meal, especially the fries with a side of gravy. The only thing they forgot to pack us is ketchup. My kid was disappointed and couldn't finish her meal. read more

Best pastrami around. You will not find another sandwich that has this much meat on it, and juicy!

A Solid choice for pastrami sandwiches. The hat is the go-to for them. They sometimes are a bit too greasy but not that bad so a Coca Cola is what I need to wash it down. If you haven't had the hat you definitely should give it a try read more

I'm normally satisfied when visiting but this time not so much. I think it's entirely too many slices of cheese when you get home and see that the cheese is barely melted on your grilled cheese sandwich . It's a joy for me to be able to sometimes eat out and this time it was a waste of time and money read more

Do yourself a favor and don't order any sandwich but the pastrami. The portions suck. For $11.99 each we got a steak sandwich and a roast beef with au jus. The steak sandwich had one strip of steak and the roast beef only had beef on half. I asked the cashier about it and he just shrugged. It was ridiculous for $30 with a drink and to still be hungry. I will be calling tomorrow to speak with a manager since the employees couldn't care less. read more
