    Always a yummy selection to eat at when in the area! I brought my husband and co workers some lunch and they were fast efficient and got my order right! I ordered 6 pastrami sandwiches which is hands down the best pastrami sandwiches ever a chilis dog, chili cheese fries and a hot dog with a large fry they didn't miss one item and had my food ready extremely fast! I highly recommend trying the hat if you haven't the chili cheese pastrami fries and the pastrami sandwiches are top notch!

    I grew up going to the original location. Today I thought I would try this location. The same great food. was warmly greeted upon entry. order placed and delivered sooner than expected. The outside was very clean along with the inside seating areas.The pastrami was overflowing. One of the things I noticed and liked is the bread is NOT heavy or filling. The Hat relies on the pastrami meat to do that. The fries were crispy and golden. The ice tea was cold. overall the staff was great and the food spot on.

    I visited the other location in Rancho Cucamonga in the past , I find the Upland spot is my preferred location . The pastrami sandwich were soft ( I should have asked for a side of lettuce) that would balance out the savory/ salty flavor of the pastrami.

    Amazing! The pastrami sandwich was so good. Easy fast service. Their chili fries were amazing too.

    Side of chili ( only a half a cup) WTH?!

    I've been coming to this location since 1990, and I've noticed in the last couple of years the quality has gone down. Today I only ordered a small French fries and a side of chili. The fries were not that good, they'd been sitting awhile, I ate about half of them and threw them away. The side of chili was a joke, I paid full price for a side of chili only to get a half a cup. Come on! Hope this was an isolated incident. Do better next time, don't lose a longtime customer!

    Skimped on the pastrami!

    I go to this place because the sandwiches are full of meat, but this time, I don't know if they're trying to save money or what... this is the only negative review I've ever left! the bun was touching the other bun! There was no meat in the sandwich such a disappointment.

    Bring receipt ticket number to pick up order

    Finally a long time coming. I've heard the tales of their pastrami, I've seen the chili cheese fries loaded so full it almost breaks the box. I've seen the hats and smiling faces of guests walking out stuffed and satisfied. The day finally came for my turn. So excited to have a first visit! Yes, what took so long? Other things came between us and it was like a long lost relative having a reunion. It was everything, everything I wished it would be and I... I could fly higher than the eagles. Staff were great, wonderfully friendly. Visiting with good friends. Luvd this pastrami so juicy and not overly salty. Sandwiched inside perfectly baked bread. Slather some mustard on it to kick it up. Gravy fries were my fave. Enjoyed the chili cheese but kept going back to the gravy. Of course some orange bang! Well maintained, clean and organized. Staff were awesome, efficient and friendly. Large parking lot for rvs to maneuver through, Inside or patio seating areas. Thanks brutha for my first pastrami!

    Last night, while I was out with some buddies in Upland we decided to stop by The Hat for a late dinner! The place wasn't too packed when we arrived and I ordered the Chili Fries with Pastrami on top. The food took about 10 mins to prepare and I have to say I was not dissapointed by the size and the taste. The dish was massive and definitely meant for more than 1 person. Would recommend this spot for a late-night meal if you are in the area.

    Amazingly good ! But it can be overwhelming. I would suggest on sharing so you can try more dishes

    Meh, it used to be better I think. The pastrami is the only thing to get. The chili tastes like diennisons or sub grade school chili.

    Did The Hat Close?

    No the hat has not closed yet and I think as long as this is still a popular spot this place is going to keep on running

    Are there vegan options?

    I think there is only the Avocado sandwich. The menu is as posted... check that out too see what is possible. Lastly ask when you go in! Good luck.

We came on a weekend and it was super busy (as it should be honestly with how amazing the food and service are). We got the blackened salmon with penne pasta and baby potatoes, and the flat iron steak with bow tie pasta and herb brown rice. The steak was cooked perfectly medium. The bow tie pasta is served cold and has a vinegary flavor to it, definitely a distinct taste, but I personally loved it because I enjoy sour/vinegary flavors. I can see why it might not be everyone's favorite though, but I personally really enjoyed it. The salmon was also super flavorful and cooked perfectly. Same with the penne pasta and potatoes. Honestly everything was just made really well and good. For the sauce, we got their popular jalapeno garlic sauce and it paired well with absolutely everything. Needless to say, this place was really good from head to toe. I also got to meet the owner and he was super friendly too. I seriously wish they would open one closer to my area. Parking was really easy and the ambience was lively with sports playing all around the bar and plenty of seating.

We let them know, and they took the plate back, popped it in the microwave to warm it up. Very disappointing.

I ordered it with the sweet potato fries, and they were cooked to perfection. I also got an ice cream cone on the side. It wasn't completely dipped, and the employee immediately offered to make me a new one. I declined because it wasn't a big deal to me, but I really appreciated that they noticed and wanted to make it right. That's the kind of customer service that stands out. The restaurant was super clean, the menu had plenty of options, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I'll definitely be back!

    Maybe we ordered the wrong thing but we felt the food was bland. I ordered a club sandwich that was…read morestacked so high that I couldn't bite into it-I removed the bread from the middle. The flavor was fine, but nothing memorable, so I wouldn't order it again. My friend ordered a Philly cheesesteak and she said it just tasted like plain meat with no seasoning, the most unimpressive cheesesteak she's ever had. Then there was the battered zucchinis; they were so breaded that you could barely taste the zucchini which were also unseasoned. Neither the breading or batter they used or the zucchini seemed seasoned. We actually ended up throwing out most of the zucchini order which is rare for us because we don't believe in food waste. I wish I could say that we loved the food but it was all just too bland. On the upside if you don't care for seasoning, this may be a good place to visit. As far as the service, we went through the drive through. The employee that took our order was patient in answering questions since we explained it was our first visit. She was friendly and had more of a spice to her personality than the food. I also want to acknowledge that on their website they say that a percentage of their sales goes towards charity for the community which is incredible. We don't see ourselves returning, and if we ever do we will order burgers since they seem to be more popular in the Yelp reviews.
