    3/11/26 Had this bookmarked since moving to Montclair (finally tried now that we've left lol)
    Jennifer W.

    3/11/25 had this bookmarked when we moved to Montclair and now that we've left, we're finally trying it. Tasty food, attentive, service, classic and clean ambience. This is one great big classic diner that feels like a locals favorite. We almost missed it because it looked like someone's house! The sign was a bit hidden with all the foliage around it. We were welcomed as soon as we walked in. I was awe-struck at the thoughtful decor up on the walls. Everywhere you look it's a classic diner. It's my kind of place. There was even a rotary phone on the wall! Lenore was our server, the sweetest, efficient & attentive person who made us feel at home. She meticulously checked up on us throughout our meal. I ordered an egg scramble & a choice of 3 items (chicken, mushrooms, bell peppers & a side (I opted for pancakes) PLUS toast (or potatoes) all for $14.95!!! Talk about a meal deal! Hubby got his massive chorizo burrito but it arrived with mole that he didn't care for at all. I tasted it, the burrito was great, but the mole tasted a bit weird, which I cannot describe other than tasting a little mediciney? I know, odd. So he scraped it off lol. My scramble was delicious & Leonore asked if I wanted the house-made salsa. Don't mind if I do. Whoa, momma! Delicious spiciness level, fresh & they should bottle it up & call it a day! Even the sourdough toast was top notch. I asked Leonore & she said it's by La Jolla Bakery. There is a dedicated parking at the rear, a bit small but we got lucky & found a spot, free. Additionally, you may park on the street, non metered. Singular restrooms, men/womens (ladies' is clean). I just wish I had tried this spot when we lived in the IE. we would've been regulars for sure.

    Meatloaf Omelette and Biscuits and Gravy
    Steven M.

    My wife and I were in Ontario for a horror convention but needed to grab some lunch first. We couldn't decide on what to eat so we figured a diner would be a safe bet, so we headed to the Iron Skillet! This place was absolutely packed when we pulled into the parking lot, but thanks to counter seating we were sat right away! Before I get into the food and menu, I just gotta say that the staff here was super friendly and helpful during our visit and they alone deserve a five star rating. Now onto the menu! In similar diner fashion the menu here is pretty large and features a ton of different breakfast, lunch, and dinner dishes, but what caught my eye was the Meatloaf Omelette listed on the special board, and man oh man, it was the best decision I could of made on this fine Saturday. Not only was I served a massive portion of Meatloaf Omelette, but as a side I was able to order Biscuits and Gravy and together it was just such an insane amount of food, I wish I was able to save some. The Meatloaf Omelette was absolutely delicious from the eggs and cheese to the meatloaf itself and the sauces that covered it, while the biscuits and gravy were delicious as well. Overall, my experience at the Iron Skillet was five stars in every single way. The service here was great, the diner itself looked really cool in the main area, and thanks to the giant brownies catching my eye, I left with two of those and I think those alone might be worth a return trip to Ontario. This place is fantastic.

    Hamburger patty and eggs

    Just good food. We are in town a vacation and happened across The Iron Skillet. Love the older diner feel to the place. Great menu selection and very attentive service. The food was outstanding, cooked well and big portions. Definitely won when we found this place.

    10 oz steak and eggs
    Denny T.

    Some pros and cons of this place. Huge menu and so many things to choose from. Breakfast served all day. Servers were friendly. Food came out fast. A lot of food for a decent price. I got the steak and eggs and it included bread and a choice of sides and I got the hash browns. Wasn't the best, but It was decent and I was really hungry and ate pretty much the whole thing. One negative is the parking. Really small parking lot and you will have to find parking on the street and walk a bit if there are no spaces left. We came on a Sunday, so not sure if it is usually this busy. Overall, it is a pretty cool, old school kind of spot to grab some food. Again, it's not the tastiest, but there are so many things to choose from that I think you should find something that you will like.

    Second time here and looking forward to the third and fourth and more! The diner feeling breakfast spot just embraces the cozy home cooked meal. Pancakes were light and fluffy and the eggs and bacon hit the spot! Sourdough toast was my favorite...light and fluffy with a great toast on it...not the hard thin sharp type I sometimes get at other chains! Everyone is always so nice there and attentive to our needs! Definitely a place we will continue to visit! See u soon!

    Ontario airport breakfast
    Peter C.

    Iron Skillet is everything you want in a breakfast place. It's clean, the menu is pretty wide in selection, and the kitchen is FAST! I was super hungry for breakfast after being non-stop for about 6 hours on a weekend, and stumbled the excellent reviews for this place. Luckily I got seated immediately, but 10 mins later the lobby was completely full. I immediately wanted the Ontario airport breakfast, and was shocked that the food arrived in less than 5 mins. Here's the thing, tho - EVERYTHING on the plate was the correct temperature. Crispy hash browns, warm eggs, warm French toast. I don't know about you, but when I cook eggs at home it takes about 1 minute, but hash browns probably take 8 minutes, and maybe 5 for French toast?? Doesn't matter. Just go & thank me later. Great breakfast spot!!

    A solid diner for American classics. Every type of eggs, pancakes, potatoes and more. We came with a large family of 7 to celebrate a birthday and they were able to accommodate easily. Food came out fast, hot, and delicious. The service was fantastic, very happy to accommodate my requests to change e.g. no butter on toast etc. They even brought a special birthday treat for the birthday girl :) The restaurant is cozy and homey, bright with the big windows and televisions with the news are playing, but the place isn't too noisy. A perfect spot for friends and family, large groups. 4/5, service makes it superb

    NOT the taco salad- it's the other one!  Hearty portions of chicken!!!

    Enrique our server was excellent!!! Food was delicious and HUGE portions!!! Very comfortable dining area with several rooms. Clean bathroom. Really nice place to go near the airport.

    Came here on a whim for a late breakfast. There were people coming in and out but there was no wait line. We got seated right away (just 2 of us). The place is pretty spacious, with inside dining. They have booths and tables available. Televisions everywhere. Decor seems all over the place but it's interesting to look around and pick up on little intentional things here and there. It feels like a family place. The menu is pretty big with a bit of everything. They took order pretty quickly. We went with Eggs Florentine with a side of french fries, and the Breakfast Skillet. Food came out pretty quickly and it was ABUNDANT. We definitely took leftovers to go. Eggs Florentine- I wish I would've asked for the Hollandaise on the side because it was drenched over the English muffins and it getting soggy. The Hollandaise itself was lumpy and not the best but it was still flavorful. They were generous with the ingredients. The french fries were standard, seasoned, and good. I like that they brought out a side of ranch without having me ask for one. Breakfast Skillet- was also a huge portion. Came out with 4 pieces of toast (2 slices of bread cut in half). Everything was cooked well and you could see all the add-ons in the scramble. This could easily fill 2-3 people depending how much each person eats. They also brought out a green salsa with this dish and that was exceptionally good. I asked for another one to take home with our leftovers. Overall, everything was great. The workers are working hard so they on go-go-go- mode but they were attentive and made sure we were satisfied with our meal. Definitely will be coming back.

    Place is over 60 years old and has good! Come for breakfast and it can accommodate large parties. Booths, breakfast bar, and the staff has a great friendly culture! 10 out of 10 Come here and eat real quick breakfast for $10 instead of trash stuff at Starbucks for $14. (Just saying) PS - plenty of parking

    Sourdough Bacon Cheeseburger
    Alma A.

    This restaurant is right up the street from my house and they open early, so my husband and I decided to try it out. He got the sourdough bacon cheeseburger and said it was delicious. I tried his chili cheese fries and the fries were super crispy and the chili was very flavorful! My French toast was really good too, I felt it had too much cinnamon and my eggs were overcooked, when I asked for them to be softly scrambled. The bacon was perfectly cooked. Overall, it's a decent breakfast spot but I feel it's a bit overpriced for what we ordered. There are plenty of specials though so I might try those out if I come back again.

    I took my grandpa here to celebrate his 90th birthday! He and his brother used to go to this restaurant some 30 years ago and he was very excited to try it again, and it lived up to his expectations so much we came back 3 days later to celebrate again with the rest of the fam! He was sad that they didn't still have their bread pudding - which he said was the best he ever had (don't tell my grandma...) , but they did have very delicious fresh homemade bread so he was happy! The first visit I got the Eggs Florentine which came with 3 poached eggs on English muffins with spinach and tomatoes. There was also 3 pieces of bacon and of course, the hollandaise sauce. The plate came with an option of a side and I got the roasted potatoes. The size of the plate was massive for the approx 15$ price, and everything was delicious! The eggs were slightly over poached this time around but were still gooey. The potatoes were delicious with some caramelized onions and roasted bell peppers throughout. They provided a very large amount of hollandaise sauce as well. My grandpa got the pancake combo which he really enjoyed as well. The pancakes were light, fluffy, and very large. He had is eggs over easy and they were cooked perfectly. When we came back with the rest of our family later in the week, I got the same breakfast : Eggs Florentine. So that goes to show how good it was. This time I asked for the hollandaise sauce on the side and I highly recommended getting it this way as you can add as much sauce as you want , and your bread won't get soggy in the mean time. I didn't say anything, but found that the eggs were better cooked this time as well and were more runny. They did forget my bacon but our waiter was quick on the ball and brought some out to me , plus and extra piece for good measure! We mentioned in passing that we were there to celebrate his birthday and then the waiter brought out scoop of ice cream with a candle for him! The whole restaurant joined in singing happy birthday to him! We felt the love! This time my grandpa got the corn beef hash with some of their homemade raisin bread. He enjoyed both! The hash was very flavorful and had hash browns mixed in. The raisin bread was delicious! Especially with a nice swipe of butter. The rest of my family was also very satisfied with their orders as well. All portions were very large and the price was good. Service was great! Our waiter was very friendly and approachable. As for the restaurant its self it had a very homey old time diner vibe. I definitely enjoyed it and will be coming back again! Date of visits : January 19, 2025 January 23, 2025

    Fantastic hidden gem for breakfast! Portions are big and the price is definitely right. We got seated right away in a large area and our waiter Enrique was attentive and very helpful making sure we had our hot coffee cups always full. This restaurant been in business and family owned for over 80 years... Ambience is a little old fashion but I love it! The place is big with lots of booth areas, so seating a big party will not be a problem. What I love the best is that all their food is freshly made daily with high grade ingredients, eYou can taste the difference. We had a family of four and we ate and have plenty of leftovers for the next day! the bill was still only $75.00. Impressive. Will definitely be coming back to this restaurant for more good food.

Thank the Lord we were only a few doors down, we never would have made it in our heels. My reservation that I made changed 3 times, only to add more people to our reservation that same day.

She accommodated every single one of us, never messing up or mixing up the orders, when ask for extras, she got them out immediately and to add to all of this the food was excellent. If you ever get a chance to stop by Studio Four29 I highly recommend it, not just for the food, but also the service. Bravo to our waitress she was on point.

When we called ahead, no one mentioned they were only serving a limited St. Patrick's Day menu today. Nothing from the regular menu was available. My daughter ended up eating plain fries the whole time because there wasn't a single kid-appropriate option. It felt misleading after being told it's family-friendly when we called prior to coming. The place was packed. The line was out the door, and we had a long wait. Inside was uncomfortably hot and stuffy too. I was eyeing the Cottage Pie but asked the server about peas (not a fan), and she said it might have a lot, so I passed. My wife ordered it instead since she doesn't mind peas and surprise, zero peas in it. She said it was just okay, nothing special, so I guess I didn't miss out. I went with the Irish Nachos instead. They were fine, but the house-made potato chips were underwhelming. Crispy but not flavorful. The standout was the lemon pepper wings. Those were actually really good. Green beer was a fun thematic touch too. Atmosphere is lively for the holiday, but for a regular visit or even future St. Patrick's Day? Probably not coming back. If you're planning to go on the big day, brace for crowds and waits. And for fun, here's a limerick summing it up: There once was a pub in Upland so grand, For St. Paddy's we joined hand in hand. But the menu was slim, Kid options were grim, Just fries for our lass, what a bland! The heat made us sweat, lines out the door, Cottage Pie? "Peas maybe." We weren't sure. No peas in the end, Wife said "meh" my friend, Nachos were fine, wings we adored. Green beer was cool, but that's all the cheer, Average at best, won't return here. Three stars is the call, For the holiday thrall. Fun once, but not every year!

Let me start with the good news.... this place is beautiful. The layout makes you want to sit down and enjoy. The bar area is large which I like so we aren't in the family area. It was just the two of us and the peaceful atmosphere is appreciated. The sea scallops were very good. Wished there had been more on the plate of that as we left still very hungry after paying about $80. Now for the bad news.... 1) the lobster bisque looked very creamy when it came, however once you get away from the top layer....runny like water. Bique should be creamy and light.... not runny. Then the lobster was cut up so small that you couldn't see it or taste it. 2) the flatbread was thinner than paper and soggy. Flatbread is thin, but not thinner than a cracker, and not soggy Miss Naomi. We have had flatbread before. This is not our first rodeo. Also it was blah... no taste. 3) the tuna tar tare was the worst I've ever had .... ever. All I could taste was tomatoes. Needless to say we only ate half of all the bad items above only bc we were hungry. We did eat all 3 scallops... so now we will need to go home to eat. When I tried to discuss this politely with Miss Naomi she got defensive and said flatbread is supposed to be very thin. Since it was our first time there I wanted to know if this was their regular way of cooking. No need to get defensive just understand our concerns and show you care that we didn't eat our food and don't want to take the rest home. That should be of concern, but again that shows that the company does not care. You are a reflection of your company. Your tip is a reflection of your attitude.
