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

    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!

    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.

    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

    Let's start by saying how great The Hat is. Everything is delicious. The staff is wonderful. One thing that I do not like to see is waste. We were given 30 Buttermilk Ranch Dreesings for 2 people. Not to mention the 25 plus napkins. We need to cut back on the condiments and pass the savings along to customers and staff.

    Quantity was amazing. Quality was perfect. Went back to try their Tuna Melt. It was excellent. Will definitely go back.

    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.

My personal favorite is the blackened salmon with the penne pasta base. Sauce is always hard to choose and I end up picking a different one every time (haven't been disappointed yet!). Overall, Dr Grubb's gets an 8/10, with a 10/10 on the post-workout meal scale!

After hearing about…read morethe hilarious shade Wendy's Twitter account throws on other competitors, I thought I would go in and see what the fuss was all about. I had some preconceived notions about how it would look inside and how the food would taste but those were both shattered. I'm not sure if all Wendy's look like this inside, but it was much fancier than I would have imagined, with an indoor seating area next to a fireplace (!!), large screen TV showing a ballgame, high rise counter with barstool type seating, and the usual booths. There were also plenty of tables outside for sitting-in-the-breeze-or-sun conditions. Foodwise, I got an order of large french fries, a baked potato with chives + cheese sauce, along with a junior swirled frosty. Typical comfort fast food, but everything tasted pleasant and all I was out was six bucks and some change. The parking situation is easy with a large lot and there is a drive thru for those that need it. Service was super nice, I mean like extremely nice.

Or you abandon all hope of civility and propriety, and just make a pool of chili and cheese and try to contain it in a burger somehow. This last type you definitely want to eat with a knife and fork. What you don't want is somewhere in between--too much chili and cheese to pick up the burger, but not quite enough left over to make you consider a knife and fork. I think that's the problem with the Hitch's version. It was very hard to eat because the chili would look some onto the wrapper but it was still portable enough to never eating it as a meal. The taste was good and I could see why people like it. But I felt kind of unfulfilled after eating it. The onion rings were good but they put so many compared to the burger, at an almost 2:1 ratio. If they had made the burger a bit bigger it wouldn't have seemed that they were skimping out on the main attraction. The service was okay. I didn't feel unwelcome. It just didn't feel like anyone was super helpful--no recommendations, no one checking how I liked everything, and not much banter when ordering. It felt very clinical. The space was nice though. And I was able to read a lot so that was great. I wish it was closer for that reason if nothing else. But since it's not I'm not sure when I'll be back.
