    My sister and I came here as we were in the area. We wanted BBQ and this place popped up. We came in and we were the only ones here, then others came about 30 mins later. It is a nice place location is in a very tiny strip mall and parking is also a bit limited. But the staff is friendly and the atmosphere is nice and quiet. Food was fantastic in my opinion and my sister loved it too.

    Stopped by Frank's BBQ in Upland, CA today and wow... my taste buds are still doing a happy dance! We had it all; brisket, pork ribs, chicken, pulled pork, and sausage (which was on the house) Everything was smoky, tender, and full of flavor. You can tell a lot of love goes into the food here. And let me just say... Frank, the owner, is awesome. Such a warm, welcoming guy who makes you feel right at home. If you're a BBQ lover, you need to put this place on your list. Trust me, you won't leave hungry! I completely forgot to take pictures of our plates the video I got was after we devoured everything! And just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite, Frank surprised us with a peach cobbler his wife makes on the house! Such a sweet touch and honestly one of the best I've ever had.

    Tri tip

    I don't normally review things but felt like I really should. Ordered the family pack for Mother's Day. I bbq plenty but my wife wanted something brought in for her and our moms. Ribs, tri tip, mac & cheese, coleslaw, beans and 2 hot links as well. Ribs were good. Coleslaw and beans were ok. Hot links were good. Tri tip wasn't even edible. Friendly enough when I picked up the food. But at the price paid, I couldn't believe how overdone the tri tip was. Extremely disappointed.

    We celebrated Tony's 70th birthday here last night and it was fantastic!!! I couldn't have asked for a better place to have his party. It was over the top!! Frank was so hospitable and let us come in and decorate the place while he was still open for business. The food was SO delicious and everyone that attended couldn't say enough about how fun and nice the whole staff was. If you're looking for excellent bbq food or need to throw a party ,you need to check them out. They are also open for in dining. We will be back for sure!!

    Sides that came with the 'Works', my son chose beans, Mac n cheese, cole slaw.

    How did we not know about this place for so long?? My son & I had been craving bbq, but didn't know where to go. We just happened to drive by Franks BBQ in Upland, never realized there was a BBQ place there! I read the reviews on Yelp, the food looked legit, so we went the next day. I was a little nervous because no one was eating there and it was still early in the day. My son ordered the works and I ordered the brisket sandwich with Mac n cheese & beans. Ohh my gosh, the food is delicious! My son LOVED all his food, let me tell you he knows good BBQ. We were blown away that is how good the food was. The sweet waitress also let us know they had tamales for sale also. My son ordered a dozen before we left ( half chicken half pork). We had them for breakfast the next day with over easy eggs. The tamales were very good also. My son loved those also! I just don't know if people know about this place. We live in Ontario and never knew about this place. It's a shame because the food is the bomb! Legit good BBQ! My son told me he is already wanting to go back for some more BBQ!! We will be back real soon. Please check & support this place out if you like good BBQ. I love supporting small businesses,especially when they deserve it!

    Pulled pork lunch with sides yummy !!!!!!

    Outstanding delicious, friendly, atmosphere first time visit. I was a bit shocked that I had not found this place before close to home.! Family oriented dining room area for your entire family and guest. It was the best lunch I had in a long time thank you Frank's barbecue you guys are awesome.!!

    BBQ Chicken & Brisket

    Amazing bbq around the area! Finally, some bbq place that takes pride in their quality! We got the wings, brisket and bbq chicken. Service was awesome too. Clean and good environment.

    Come and check this place out! You will not be disappointed. Redding and Foothill across from Bowlero your perfect next date night! Some AWESOME everything from scratch BBQ. My husband and I make our own smoked meats but every once in a while we like to try new spots. I promise you will love it here. Come check out Frank's and you will want to come back!

    Food was legit with good portion sizes! Worth a stop if you're in the neighborhood. Some of the best BBQ I've had in the IE

    Lunch plate-- the beans were... meh. Everything else was yummy.
    Drea D.

    This was different. I think they're in a shared kitchen setup but when they're there, it's theirs, if you know what I mean? Anyway, met a gf for lunch and grabbed a take-away for my +1 later. First: amazing waitress. She bakes the dessert offerings AND makes the lemonade and is the most humble, sweetest thing ever. Food was hearty, maybe not the best I've ever had. I liked seeing the BBQ pit through the window and the place was empty during our visit-- likely a blessing bc parking is limited. I'd revisit. And a big star to the staff (owner included!) for making us feel welcome.

Whatever else you order add a skewer or three. The pulled pork was tender shreds of beautifully smoked meat. In the words of Jen the sides are perfect to balance all the richness. Pickled papaya & carrot salad with Cambodian style fried rice which has an unexpected delightful coconut cream to add another component twist to the dish. Everything we tried was awesome! By the end of the night they were sold out! I would definitely luv to try more of their menu whenever they're in town. Tap to pay available. Fun fact: Adonis started smoking meats at home and his son said dad you could sell this. Adonis tried it out and the business began to grow. Now he has been able to run this awesome pop up traveling to the people sharing his passion with every bite.

The food, service, and atmosphere have been consistently excellent, which is why we keep coming back. The cornbread is hands down the best cornbread I've ever had.

We started with the beef tartare as an appetizer, and it was really good. The combination of the crispy chips and fresh arugula complemented the tartare well and made for a unique and flavorful starter. For my entrée, I ordered the Fancy Burger, and it was just as delicious as I remembered. It was cooked perfectly, juicy, and packed with flavor. The service has been outstanding every time we've visited. The staff is welcoming, attentive, and always helps make the dining experience even better!

    Okay, I want to make it clear that I am not her to frivolously review a neighborhood restaurant…read more Small businesses are the backbone of our country, specially important and black, woman and minority owned. So here's my good and not so good. Good: the service here is amazing, friendly attentive and I watched every dine in customer receive extraordinary care. The portion sizes are huge and the whole restaurant felt like you were in someone's own kitchen on a weekend morning with all of the right smells in the air for a great brunch. Here's the not so good: it took 4 minutes shy of an hour to get lunch for 2 (2 order of chicken tenders, side of red beans and rice and an order of hush puppies ) prepared. Although the booths were full, most of the tables had their food, so it didn't appear to be a lot of tickets stacked up. When my order was finally delivered, and I took the10 minute drive back home, I opened the bag to fund 3 brown paper bags, wet, soggy and soaking in grease. Because the food hadn't been allowed to cool a bit and it was placed in a plastic bag with no way to vent out steam, every item was soggy and falling apart. The fries were wet and soggy, the chicken had all of the dry coat falling off and most the seasoning was pulled off of the batter that was left because of the water and steam. Additionally, the red beans and rice were so wet, they were almost soup. One of the orders had potato salad as a side, but to received overcooked soggy fries instead. The hush puppies were way over cooked, they had passed the golden brown cook level and were a black brown color and were sort of flavorless and really soggy from the heat of the plastic bag. I'm sure that most of this could have been avoided if I hadn't placed a to go order. But I'm leaving this review so that when you order from this little gem, you consider dining in or asking for the foot with plenty of lead time so that they don't rush, improperly pack the food for transit (let it cool off a bit) and have the time to make sure the order is correct, and cooked to a standard that best represents the business. Pomona needs Day-Days as a locally owned, black owned soul food restaurant. Switching from plastic to paper bags and giving the food time to vent will go a long way with quality for the customer. In the end the food tasked good, I'm sure was prepared with love, but fell flat on the delivery. All of that said, patronize this restaurant!!!!
