    Chicken and waffles
    Jessica C.

    The food has great house seasoning. Made fresh and warm to order. Service was great. Great place to be at, clean home like environment. The shrimp and wings had a home made flavor. Definitely coming again, I recommend. We had the chicken and waffles, shrimp, the wings with house seasoning. The service was pleasant and warming. Thank you we will be coming again

    Let me say the service was A1. We were greeted once we walked in the door. They treated us like Rock Stars . The Catfish & Shrimp were seasoned with flavor and love! The Red Beans were a little spicy but I love spice. We will be back to. A True Hidden Gem in Upland.

    Brisket and Mac and cheese
    Twin H.

    If you're looking for hefty portion size, I would recommend. However, if you're looking for flavor...... the Mac and cheese did not have flavor. The look and taste was like noodles was miffed in a very milky cheese sauce. Collard greens was half decent. The brisket was fatty, nor did it have a barbque smoke flavor. Definitely a no go for me. Customer service was good which is the reason for the stars. I feel like my $26 wasn't well spent. Mac and cheese went to the trash. I barely ate the collard greens. I ended up rinsing the sauce off the brisket, frying it and adding store bought barbque and putting between 2 slices of nature's own bread.

    A little of everything.

    We took a drive out to Beola's. It was not what I had my taste buds prepared for. Customer service was excellent, ambiance good. This is a store front setting, which was fine for the time of date we went. Had it been another day or time there may not have been anywhere to sit. The food was ok, I was not a big fan. My husband ate his. The waffles had too much cinnamon in the batter so all you taste when eating the waffle is cinnamon. The only thing I could tolerate was the red beans and rice. All the other food was not tasty. The seasoning was weird, I don't know, just didn't taste like the soul food I'm accustomed to. Whatever was going on with the seasoning my taste buds and stomach said no. Try it you might like it. Was not good to me. Thank you

    Our meal - chicken & massive waffle(we split it), rice & beans, cornbread

    Wow!! I've missed these home cooked meals for way too long! Wish I had tried this place before now. Beola is the creator of these delicious recipes and her grandson is carrying on her traditions. Can't thank him enough! We got chicken & waffles (of course my usual fave), red beans & rice, cornbread and sweet tea. Everything is very good portions. Chicken is hand breaded with so many wonderful spices that don't feel overly fried and moist meat. Waffle was big that we split it. Smothered it with their maple butter (YUM!) and barely used any maple syrup because the waffle batter had so much flavor and cinnamon which is my favorite. Waffle was so soft but not soggy it had lightly crisp edges. Rice & beans were so flavorful that you only get from a good home cooked meal. It has beef and pork links that give it so much flavor. Oh my heavens...they call it cornbread but I call it corncake because it was so fluffy,moist and not at all gritty. We were welcomed by the owner and he talked with us after we tasted to get our feedback. Great guy. Very hospitable. Pictures are attached to see our meal and the restaurant. There are 5 tables. They do catering too. They are located around the corner from Whole Foods, across from chipotle & Wendy's.

    Plain chicken wings, Mac and cheese, greens, red beans + rice

    I've been a fan of Beolas for years and today I was my first time going to location on Baseline Rd Troy, the owner, was extremely kind and politely shared everything I needed to know about the different items on their menu. I ended up going with the 6 piece wings with two sides and couldn't help but add a 3rd Despite choosing the plain chicken, the flavor was everything. Exactly what you want when eating fried chicken. Cooked to perfection and made fresh. Mac and cheese was delicious I am very picky with my greens and these are the best I've ever had. Red beans and rice was so flavorful They had nothing but great old school music hits playing and I was dancing the whole time I was enjoying my meal. So glad I finally stopped by and can't wait for their other location to reopen. Beolas is by far the best southern / soul food I've ever had.

    I came here before grocery shopping and have been meaning to try this place. Thr place has a good amount of seating and outdoor seating. I got their daily special of chicken sandwich with fries ($9.99) It was seasoned nicely, it came with the choice of lettuce and sliced white onion. It was cooked thoroughly and the meat was juicy. The onions were too thick but it gave a nice texture. The fries were tossed in a seasoning and it was a good amount. The staff was nice and the place is clean. They do sell lottery and have a yelp check-in of a free drink of kool-aid.

    Thanks for coming to town Beola's! I have passed by this place several times and today was the day we were dropping in. Happy we did. Red snapper, red beans and rice, Mac-n-cheese, brisket fries, accompanied by Kool-aid and lemonade. Bamm! Successful meal and satisfied customers. I was worried we wouldn't find seating but we did. They had some really good tunes playing while we ate. Nice and friendly staff as well.

    Here is a picture of the douche bag that took out food from the table and dumped it in the trash, after we asked for a refund.

    We went there for our first time, they guy at the counter was disgruntle and rude. One of the Waffle was not cooked properly and we asked for a refund on the waffle, he told us to fuck off and leave, he removed my food from the table as I was eating at this point we asked for a full refund and he got up to my husband's face and pushed him. Authorities were called and we will be pursuing this to the full extent of the law. PSA- food was terrible, waffles crumbled completely apart, they were hard which was weird as they crumbled into sand. The chicken was salty and over seasoned. No wonder there is not traffic at the restaurant. Wish I had photos to upload, he grabbed out food from the table and threw it in the trash and did not give us a refund! Don't bother coming here. Save your money. So many better places to chose from.

    Had a great experience, Alex helped with my order and gave great recommendations for our first visit. Food was excellent, great recipes and cooked perfectly. Seating is great and engaging. 11 out of 10

    Chicken and waffles, Mac n cheese, cherry koolaid
    Shianne G.

    The lady at the front with the red hair was super sweet and super accommodating. Making sure we had extra sauce and everything. Now the food was so good, me and my friends ordered this: bbq brisket fried with cheese, fried catfish, chicken and waffles. Sides: rice and gravy , Mac n cheese, collard greens , red beans and rice. Everything was super hot and fresh , so I'm assuming they make it right when you order. The brisket had a bit too much fat for my liking but was delicious overall. Super clean inside and very homey. 10/10 would recommend and come back!

    They split the one order. Portions are super generous!

    Awesome! Better than Roscos! A great find! Generous portions, well seasoned and reasonably priced. The owner tends the restaurant and keeps it super clean! Chicken is crisp and tasty! Come see this hidden gem in north Claremont

    Front Entrance - located off Baseline before the 210 freeway ramp, across from the Wendy's that is visible from the street.
    Krista G.

    The restaurant is conveniently located at the Sycamore Hills Plaza, off of Baseline Rd, before the 210 freeway ramp. I placed an online order for pick up. My food was made fresh to order & was ready at the promised time. Upon my arrival, (this was my first time here), I saw the restaurant offered patio dining in front of the business, where there was shade and a cool breeze, so we decided to eat there rather than take our food home. I just relocated to Upland from Oklahoma. Chicken and Waffles is a southern staple! And let me tell you, Beola's did not disappoint!!! The best chicken and waffles, you can taste the authenticity of a home cooked meal from a family recipe. The chicken was seasoned well, and the waffle was huge, fluffy. Everything partnered well and tasted so good! We loved it so much that we even ordered another plate to go for later! The customer service was phenomenal. You can see a lot of heart and care from the owner. Come support a local business and try amazing food! We'll be back to try other food items from the menu.

    Great customer service and great tasting food. It beats driving to Pasadena or LA for chicken and waffles. I'm never disappointed.

    Their wings are delicious. I love the wing - breadstick combo. I recommend you get Parmesan garlic…read moredip for your breadsticks. That is the perfect combination of delicious. I have DoorDash this restaurant multiple times and everything has always been high-quality

    First and last time -- beware the dipping sauces…read more I really wanted to love this place, but my first visit turned into a genuinely awful experience that I have to warn others about. We placed a takeout order with two 6-piece wing combos, requesting ranch and blue cheese along with an extra side of ranch. When we got home and opened everything up, all three dips looked like ranch -- but one of them was a noticeably darker yellow color. My husband smelled it immediately and knew something was off. The other two didn't smell fresh to him either, so he warned me not to eat any of it. I wish I had listened. I avoided the yellow one but ate the other two ranches -- and within 30 minutes I felt extremely ill. We're talking serious nausea, Pepto-Bismol, Tums -- the works. I was praying I wouldn't throw up. It was a miserable rest of the day, and the fact that even the "normal looking" ones made me sick that quickly is truly alarming. To make matters worse, the wings themselves were underwhelming, the breadsticks were disappointing, and even the veggie sticks didn't look fresh. Nothing about this order met even basic expectations. How does a restaurant send out ranch dressing that has turned yellow? That's a food safety issue, not just a quality one. This was my first and last visit. I would not recommend.

    This place is worth a visit!…read more This place is at the end of a plaza and you wouldn't know it's there. Now you do and you need to stop in and have a bite... There is plenty of parking and when you walk inside you smell the barbecue and see the small town vibe the place has.. The staff are super friendly and know the brand really well.. We had the "When Pigs Fry" Curly fries loaded with pulled pork, creamy coleslaw, green onion, Cajun seasoning, and finished with chipotle aioli & BBQ sauce...This Was Awesome!! We also had the "Oinkers Revenge" An all-beef dog topped with in-house pulled pork, BBQ sauce, and fresh slaw. A loaded, flavor-packed dog built for big appetites. It was good, the only thing was it was so wet I caught myself eating the paper the food was on and it was so wet it dissolved the paper.. This place has a great vibe as they have craft and domestic beer on tap as well as mixed drinks.. The bathroom was a little off putting as there was a sewer smell that hits you as soon as you walk inside. That smell goes away though when you walk back out in the restaurant as you smell barbecue again.. Thank You For The Great Food! I definitely will be back..

    Definitely not Bombdiggity…read more A few things were really good, but overall the experience was pretty average. The place feels more like a bar than a restaurant, and there were a few things that brought the experience down. The Food: The mozzarella sticks were great--crispy and delicious. The fries and tater tots were also really good and came out just right. The pretzel bites were good while they were hot, but they quickly became cold and soggy. The Oink Burger had good flavor, but the coleslaw completely took over. It was way too watery, making the burger soggy instead of giving it that nice crunchy texture. I think it needed less juice and more fresh vegetables. Drinks: The beer selection was decent, but the beers could definitely have been colder. Service & Atmosphere: Service was okay. Not the best, but not the worst either. The staff seemed to be doing what they could with the people they had available. The atmosphere definitely felt more like a drinking bar than a restaurant. There was also a small issue with the AC unit above our table leaking water near my daughter, which obviously wasn't ideal. Overall: There were some good food items, but too many little things added up. Between the soggy food, lukewarm beer, AC leak, and bar-like atmosphere, I just wasn't impressed. Not Bombdiggity. Not terrible either. Just mid all the way.
