We're staying in Rancho Cucamonga for a soccer tournament from my daughter. We asked someone at the park whats the best Soul Food in town as we are from San Diego. Was told to check out Beola's in Upland about a 10 minute drive from where we were staying at Victoria Gardens. The service: A+, we ordered while in route and when we arrived was told our food would be out in 5 minutes. While we waited the Young man working the counter gave us some kool-aid. The Kool-aid was so good. Food: i had the oxtails with mac and cheese and i added a second side of greens. Well worth the up charge. My wife got the Red Snapper with yams, and greens. Also worth the up charge for 2nd side. We got my Daughter chicken and waffles. The food was the 10 out of 10. My favorite was the oxtails and greens. My wife's favorite was my mac & cheese and the red snapper. I tasted a piece of my daughters waffle, and that thing melted in my mouth....... I wish I lived closer so I can frequent this place more often. read more

Food had little to no seasoning on the pork chops itself only in the batter, little portion of rice. It was supposed to be smothered but it was gravy poured on top. For $20 just wasn't enough food read more

Beola's Chicken & Waffles - Smothered pork chops and rice and gravy - Barbeque Near Me - Upland, California

Fantastic home cooking. You know a place is solid when every table had Crystal's Hot Sauce on it. Best chicken and waffles I've had in California. Waffle was nice and thick and fluffy and did not forget or skimp on the powdered sugar. And the chicken was moist with large portions. The seasoning is fantastic. The hotlinks are solid and the mac and cheese is just like grandma's. Get yourself some banana pudding. This place is local to Icehouse Saddle/Mt Baldy trailhead so get full after your hike. read more

The food was disgusting! Greens were bitter and old the ox tails had an overpowering taste of vinegar and they were dark and looked as if they were old. Serving size for $33 per plate is unacceptable and you get no drink. They shared they come out to bring your food however we pulled up and parked in pickup but he just stared so we had to go in. The chicken strips were perfect with flavor! read more

I took my daughter here for dinner as we were craving some southern comfort food. I have been to their former larger location but I know times were challenging for restaurants during Covid. The current location is a lot smaller but in a great shopping area where the Whole Foods is at. It's more geared for takeout but there are tables both inside and outside. I could care less where a restaurant is or if it's small as the food speaks for itself. I definitely enjoyed the food here as well as my daughter. I ordered the smothered porkchops with an extra side of greens and cornbread. My daughter ordered the chicken and waffle. Everything was spot on! The servings are huge and I thought I would have left overs. But it was all just too good not to finish. Service is top notch and she was super sweet. Her son was the chef and he did an awesome job. I can't wait to take the rest of my family here. I have zero complaints about my experience. Folks, you definitely need to give Beola's a shot. It's definitely great to support family owned businesses especially with the kind folks here. read more

I went to Beola's and the food was phenomenal. The food was very flavorful and the service was good. They have a variety of food to choose from and flavored old school cool-aid. They also have a variety of desserts from banana pudding sweet potato pie, etc. The place is clean and small inside with seating inside and outside. Easy parking. I will definitely be a returning customer. read more

If it weren't for the high prices I'd have given Beola's a solid 5-stars for the fantastic tasting food. This is a very casual place that only serves in takeout containers while onsite...so you might expect prices a bit more moderate...but no such luck. The very friendly cashier ends up serving your dishes in containers at your table (though I felt bad taking her away from the line of paying / ordering customers). My key pricing issue was with the collard greens: A 2/3rds full small container was $6.50! It's barely there!...but also the finest greens I've ever had. The chicken and waffles: Delicious, unique, but pricey. Really: Those greens should be closer to $3.50 for the serving size. OK, I could gripe about the pricing but I surely can't gripe about the food quality. Remember to ask for more sauce with the chicken. Overall: Wow for those with higher credit limits. read more

When we saw this place pop up, we had to go try it! And we were so pleased! The chicken and waffles were so delicious. You can literally see the flavor we also decided to try some desserts. The peach cobbler was so so good. Had a pie crust on top instead of crumble, and it was very delicious. I didn't get a photo of my husband's banana pudding (he dug in to it so fast lol) he said it could have used a bit more sweetness, but he still ate the whole thing the young man who served us was so kind and fun to chat with. He was attentive and made great recommendations. We did eat there, but they are set up as more of a to-go spot, so I don't recommend showing up with a big group, but it's good for a party of two or four. We will be back soon to try other menu items! I think the brisket is next on my list. read more

We celebrated my moms 70th birthday and Beola's Chicken was the headliner. Thank you to the staff - they were professional, timely and communicative!

Thank you to Troy and Alex for everything! read more

Chef is Caucasian & my tummy hurts. That is my review. Constructive feedback would be to improve on making authentic banana pudding from scratch rather than using a box mix. Additionally, the catfish and beans could benefit from longer cooking times for better flavor and texture. Pros: Place is clean and owner seems sweet with potential to learn. read more

Please read this post please do not go to this place had the worst experience of my life first time trying this place off as we are uplandians and wanted to try everything available in the city to start the day off we went in for breakfast the beginning of ordering the cashier was rude and even more rude when he looked at my receipt when it said tip I put zero as I tip usually in cash when I leave depending on the service my wife's waffle upon cutting into it started falling apart second when I put some butter and syrup on my Waffle I bit into it and the inside was raw I took it to the counter and explained the situation to the cashier first thing you said it was my fault for drenching it and syrup so then I told him that it was okay if you could just refund me the waffle he told me no refunds I told him it's okay I'll just leave a bad review his next words were get the f*** out of my restaurant I told him I'm not leaving until he gives me a refund he walked to the table grab the food out of my wife's hand push me out of the way and threw the food in the trash I attempted to call the police he tried to grab my phone and glasses off the table and shoved me out of the way it escalated and we have a shelving match authorities were called will be pursuing this to the full extent I called the owner of the restaurant and he pretty much told me to f*** off this is the guy that acted crazy with me and pushed me and threw the food in the trash read more

The food here is amazing! The service is great! I am definitely coming here again. They serve good portions this spot is amazing great prices too! read more

Top notch customer service! The food is good, but I wish the entrees come with at least 2 sides instead of one, and at least 2 pieces of fish instead of one for the price. (Yep I'm greedy like that lol). I will return because the food is good. My husband had the pork chops and he said the same, he ate it all so it had to be delicious. He had the red beans and rice and it was very tasty. read more

The music was upbeat and the food was DELICIOUS! We each got the Chicken & Belgian Waffles combo and we shared the macaroni & cheese with leftovers to spare. The Mac & cheese was creamy and flavorful, and the waffle was light waffle complimented the chicken so well. Everything we had was made fresh and quickly! read more

The service was great.The pork chops were great. The place is nice and clean. Going back soon.

Today I stopped in Beola's with my family for a Sunday lunch. We've seen it for a while and have always been curious about it. Well we came in, and it was a small place, a little crowded. There was an order counter with one man working it, who was very kind and helpful. Once it cleared up in there we were able to have a seat inside, and it was pretty much empty. There's outdoor seating, which was nice since it was warm. But we chose to say inside, and food came pretty quickly, within 10-15 minutes. The food was excellent, I got shrimp and potato salad, which was well seasoned and the salad was creamy. My husband got chicken and waffles, which was delicious, the waffles were high quality along with the syrup, and they had a little kick of cinnamon. My kids got the brisket sandwich and fries, which was the special, and delicious. There was a lot of sauce on the brisket, which was really nice. The fries were nicely seasoned, as was all the food. We also got Mac 'n cheese, which was creamy and delicious. They have red and blue kool-aid and lemonade, and some yummy homemade tasting sweet tea. We also got a side of cornbread, which was a little dry, but good. In the middle of our meal, the owner's mother came in and helped, who was very sweet. She gave us free refills on the drinks and an overall very pleasant experience. read more

Chicken and waffles with a side of greens, after church!! Food is awesome and this serving size! I had to get another plate and enough for dinner tonight. Service was great with pleasant conversation with the owner (sorry not sorry "Go Army!") Nice way to wrap up a Sunday afternoon. read more

Visited today and had the chicken & waffles. By far, the best chicken & waffles I've ever had. The food was fresh and hot. To drink I had the red kool aid and it did not disappoint.

I can't wait to return and try other dishes like the shrimp & fries, and the brisket & fries. Give this place a try! read more
