    Ham grinder with no Mayo minus my first bite
    Amber R.

    Yes to the grinders! Very happy with trying the ham grinder so nice simple and on point. Amazing quality and service. Don't really call this a hidden gem but it's definitely a go to spot lots of amazing food to pick from. Must come back

    Decent sandwiches and a large menu selection at reasonable prices. Outside seating as well. Pastrami is a bit too salty for my taste but otherwise, good food.

    A staple of Rialto for decades. Quick service if you get their most sold items. I got the large pastrami grinder and clam chowder and had my order in a few minutes. I ordered to go but seating is available outside, about 5 picnic benches worth. I went in late afternoon in May, so be mindful of weather if your eating outside. I dont think the Drive-in label is accurate, as you've got to park to walk to the window to order. It may look uninviting, but there's staff there. Parking is shared with a nearby market, but beware of the pothole in the driveway. Would be 5 stars when they or the property manager fixes it.

    I experienced this for the first time today. It is recognized as a local staple and certainly met the expectations. I found the prices to be quite reasonable. The food was served fresh and hot, and it was exceptionally flavorful. I was particularly impressed with the hamburger, which had the taste of a homemade burger and was of a generous size. I plan to return to try other menu items. The workers were friendly and pretty fast. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor sitting as well.

    This place has been though a lot. It opened in 1948 and I had my very first pastrami grinder here about 1957 and many more in years to follow. I don't want to say anything bad about this place just for sentimental reasons but the need to step up their game. I don't know why they don't recognize it. I came here in hopes it would be as good as I remember from the last time 40 plus years ago. The pastrami grinder and the bread it was on had a slight off taste as if it has been heated on a grill was being wiped clean with grease that wasn't being kept fresh. Gorden Ramsey needs to spend a week with them and show them what is wrong. It was such a disappointment I can only give their pastrami grinder a 2 on a scale of 1 to 10. They have nowhere to go but up. When I saw they had pastrami burritos I had high hopes they had duplicated the kosher burrito from the place with the same name in LA that closed about 35 years ago. No such luck! There is no indoor seating and Fontana is notorious for its winds and the pigeons know this is an easy place for a meal. I suggest you order your food and take it with you and eat it elsewhere,

    Menu

    First timers today after living down the street for 6 years and constantly driving by this place. My husband loveddddddd his burger! He got the Hawaiian Teriyaki Cheeseburger and added avocado. I got the Philly Cheese Steak and it was good but not great. I think the meat could have used a little more seasoning. But we'll definitely be back and try other things on their extensive menu. The font on the menu is small so I tried to take photos zooming in so you could see the items clearly!

    Peppi's Deluxe sandwich

    Peppis to the rescue for our hungry !! A delicious place to eat. We tried the Peppi's Deluxe sandwich and loved it. Great service and prices, but the quality surprised us. Delicious! yummy, yummy, with will be back soon to try the rest of the huge menu.

    Cheeseburger

    Mine and fiancé's top choice for a burger (try 4th and mill if you want more of a sit down spot). Close to home. Generous portions. Price keeping up with inflation but 100% worth it!! #IYKYK!!

    Route 66 double stack

    Hands down one of the best burgers I have ever tasted! Customer service is absolutely on point, and the general vibe surrounding this restraint is fantastic!

    Anyone know if they sold and if so, will the menu change?

    They're still there and the food is decent But , what upsets me is they won't OPEN THE DINING AREA. I don't want to to say outside where it's hot 🥵 and the homeless and birds 🦅 and on the top of the tables among the droppings. I like eating where… 

    They used to be know for t j.g eir grinders.Do they still sell the grinders?

    Yea more than 6 different types of grinders six inches and ten inches

    Do they accept Apple Pay?

    Yes they do as well for google pay but it's also a 50 cent charge as well for credit and debit cards

    Does this burger place have a special sauce in the burgers? And if they do is it any good?

    I believe it is the seasoning they put in the meat.

The bbq pork banh mi is so delish! I need to get that again. The light peanut sauce for the shrimp spring rolls was excellent as well. Each item i think was around $10, pricey imo for the IE since I could get 'em cheaper in Westminster or LA. But it is pretty good for San Bernardino, near the cal state campus! I'll be back!

    I'm upset to be leaving such a low review but I can't remember the last time I was so disappointed…read moreat a banh mi shop. The shop is located in a fairly busy strip mall with lots of different cultural food options. It's a small mom and pop shop, a little too cluttery for my liking, but I think that's just the charm of it. They have a simple menu and a selection of Vietnamese foods/drinks, not just baguettes. Upon ordering, the lady stated that everything is made to order and that placing an order over the phone would be best. I left spending $50 on two banh mi baguettes and three orders of spring rolls. I was quite shocked at how fast that added up. I was even more shocked once I received my order! Spring rolls: Pork: decent flavor, moist and tasteful. Shrimp: literally just ONE shrimp (they halved them) in the spring roll. Beef: more like beef jerky. The meat was so dry and tough. The sauce for the spring rolls had some flavor but not as much as I would like. Express special baguette: Bread: was good, crunchy on the outside and soft in the inside, not the kind of bread that's flaky, leave too much crumbs or cuts the roof of your mouth. Filling: pate on the bread, with a few slices of cold cut Vietnamese meats and a sprinkle of veggies. The baguette, along with the spring rolls were definitely overpriced. It looks like everything was just sprinkled on top. There were a lot of lettuce in the spring rolls, but even that wasn't fresh. For the price of the baguette, we could have at least gotten more veggies such as the pickled carrots/cucumbers/cilantro. For the quality and portions of the food, I wouldn't mind paying a few dollars less. But for the amount they were charging, I expected a little bit more. Overall, wasn't impressed with this place.

The pastrami was flavorful and not too dry, but the chili was pretty one dimensional and did not add much flavor beyond saltiness. After a few bites, everything started to blend together and it was difficult to finish. Overall, a decent spot if you're looking for an old school burger spot, but nothing that really makes me want to go out of my way to come back, except maybe to try the mechanic..

    I stopped by around midday on a Sunday. It was a little busy when we got there, but the line moved…read morepretty quickly, so we weren't waiting long. There was also plenty of parking and several seating options inside. We decided to order a little bit of everything so we could try as much of the menu as possible. We had the brisket, brisket burnt ends, rib tips, several sides, and both desserts. The brisket burnt ends were definitely my favorite. They were smoky, tender, and full of flavor. The brisket had a beautiful bark and was cooked perfectly, and the rib tips were just as good. I was honestly just as impressed with the sides. My favorites were the spicy mac and cheese and the potato salad. The potato salad was creamy and was the perfect thing to cool your mouth after eating the steamed jalapeños. The coleslaw and green beans were also really refreshing and balanced out all the rich barbecue. The biggest surprise for me was the sweet yams. It was so flavorful that it tasted like it had been slow-cooked in brown sugar and spices for hours. For dessert, I tried both the banana pudding and the peach cobbler. The banana pudding was the winner for me, but I also liked that the peach cobbler wasn't overly sweet. Even the cornbread was delicious. I ended up pairing it with the barbecue baked beans and was a great combo. Our total came to about $110 before tax and tip, but we ordered enough food to try a wide variety of meats, sides, and desserts, so I thought it was well worth it. Overall, there wasn't a single thing we ordered that I wouldn't get again. If you're looking for great Texas-style barbecue in the Inland Empire, I'd definitely recommend giving this place a try. I'll definitely be back to work my way through the rest of the menu.

The young woman slicing the meats was very nice when explaining their menu and how to order. I read plenty of reviews before coming here and many noted the sides were lacking but I thought the opposite! The beans were extremely rich and decadent, and the yams were soo tasty without being overly spicy.

We drove about 40 minutes to try these tasty treats. We took a cooler bag with frozen gel packs to get it home and they put our cupcakes and pastries in plain brown boxes (like that of in and out burger) that don't account for the height of the treats, so the boxes won't close completely. I asked about it but they had no alternatives. The lady serving us also tried to overload one box. I had to ask her to separate them and they still didn't fit. The end result was that by the time we got home, 3 were smashed, the boxes already had several marks of the treats soaking all the way through. This is specifically why I asked for a proper cupcake/pastries container because otherwise part of the frosting/treat oils are lost in transit making for a bit of a dried out texture by the time you get to try them. (For us, only about 55 minutes) This place is excellent if you plan to eat right away. Sweet Tooth, please fix your packaging for those who come a long ways to see you! and you would be 5 stars all day long.
