The pastrami fries were so savory. The cheese was amazing and the portion is very generous. The perfect amount of flavor in each bite.

The Hat - I DONT RECOMMEND. i was eatting and saw this out of my fries ( chili cheese pastrami fries) it is going bad and i feel sick. - Fast Food Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Let me just say that you will have a hard time finding a place that matches this one! The fries are really really good and everything you can hope for. It's the perfectly cooked meat and have some banana peppers on the side and that's the perfect combo. I love that most of these establishments that I go to have pictures on the wall that date back and the dining room itself stays true to its era. The only thing was the bathroom could've been a bit more kept up, but other than that I'd say don't think twice! read more

If I could give zero stars I would. I ordered a pastrami dip, large fry and a turkey burger with mustard. The pastrami was the first thing i mentioned and when i got to the window all i received was the turkey burger and fry. I asked about the pastrami and they stated they didn't charge me for it. I paid for the pastrami and received it, but not before I was given attitude at the window. I got all the way home and my turkey burger was nothing but a patty & bun. No lettuce, tomato or pickles. Instead they charged me extra for pickles i wanted on my burger. To top it off, my fries were cold and hard like they had been sitting there. This is by far the worse experience i have had at this location and it's truly disappointing. read more

The portion and the presentation was good. But the flavor of the food was bland, the more I ate the more I was disappointed. I wouldn't recommend this spot. Chilli was nasty no flavor. read more

I'd passed this famed place hundreds of times in L.A. I finally had the time, space, and ease of no lines and a drive-thru at the Rancho location. Good sandwich, with thin tender meat, too much for bun. Pretty good onion rings. read more

The Hat - Ordered 2 pastrami sandwiches - Fast Food Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

Their staples are the sandwiches such as the Pastrami Dip. I think the sandwiches are decent but a bit overpriced. Their burgers are generic. The chili burger is just the regular burger with lot of chili. My favorites are the Chili Cheese Fries and Onion Rings. Their portions are HUGE! And they're delicious! If you want to get one of them, go with a friend. read more

I'd give it 5 stars but unfortunately they won't get umbrellas for their outdoor seating and it's hot and sunny. It doesn't cost them much money or time to put them up daily. It's just being cheap and lazy! Otherwise, everything else is five stars! read more

The Hat has always been the best for pastrami sandwiches and their famous chili cheese fries, there are other items to choose from but you can never go wrong with the above mentioned. The service is fast and reliable, and you can pickup or eat in. The restaurants are always clean and as you walk through every one is enjoying themselves along with family and friends. And did I forget to mention that The Hat prices are reasonable. read more

The service: when I pulled up to order my food, the lady who took my order had a thick accent and spoke very fast. I hardly understood her and tbh, she is someone who shouldn't be taking peoples orders. This was my first time coming here and the customer service wasn't up to my standard. Once I placed my order I had the chance to actually see who was taking my order. She had an attitude and didn't make me feel like a valued customer. I don't know if she was having a rough night or what, but I caught her vibe real quick. The food: the food was pretty good! You get what your paying for and it's ALOT of food! I couldn't finish it all but it was fulfilling. I had the pastrami burger and a SMALL order of French fries. I was amazed by the amount of fries they gave me because it took up a nice size of the bag. Overall: would I come back here again? Mmm no time soon. It would most likely be once in a blue moon. The service is the main reason why it's not 5 stars. I would give it a 3 or 4 stars but I'm being nice to give it a 4. If I ever come back I really do hope that lady is not working the window. ‍ read more

The best pastrami sandwich in California hands down. It's always super busy though so good luck on a Friday or Saturday night.

Can't go wrong with the Hat from their Burgers to the Pastrami Fries everything is finger licking good. The service is amazing even when the place is jammed packed. Ambiance is cool has somewhat of a old school feel to it but the food is amazing and the servings are good enough for 2 or 1 if you're a Fat boy like me. Chili cheese fries with pastrami are a must read more

The one and only place I will go to for a pastrami sandwich, that says it all. Very old establishment that does not change what is right about this restaurant. Service quick and ambience very simple, you go for the food. Their chili fries are amazing ! read more

Went through the drive thru to get a cheeseburger. I usually love their burgers but not today. Bun- great. Veggies - great. Patty- GROSS! It was obviously cooked some time ago. It was so dry and awful that I thought I may break a tooth eating it. What a disappointment read more

I've been here a few times, The Hat is a classic that's been around for a cool minute. I got myself the chili burger with pastrami chili cheese fries. The burger is real sloppy so have some napkins on hand. Chili isn't your average chili, it's good and flavorful. Burger is your average burger, tomatoes are top tier though, I'm not sure which ones they use. The pastrami on the the fries is good stuff, along with their chili. I imagine the fries by themselves wouldn't be too good because the fries don't got that kick like most chains do but overall the pastrami fries are also pretty good.

Introduced to me by locals in 1994, it had been years . . . The Famous Pastrami Dip and Wet Fries did not disappoint! A HUGE portion of Wet Fries (means w/brown gravy) and the Pastrami was wonderfully juicy and FILLING its roll. Price point is higher than typical fast food, but the quality is better. A true throwback, classic dining experience read more

The hat is the only big chain that still sells good quality hamburgers and pastrami! Not to mention their coke tastes so good here for some reason! I love the hat because it's consistently fresh every time I come here, I always order the same thing either a burger or pastrami, onion rings and a coke. And every time it's always hot and fresh. This is a good place to put in your rotation read more

If you asked me what I wanted for my last meal before I died, I would say The Hat. Yes, it's that good. It's probably a good thing they don't have a location in San Diego, otherwise I'd be here all the time. Anytime I drive up North or on my way to Vegas, it's a must stop every time. I've been here about 5 times, and each time I left with that feeling, damn that was so good, and I can't wait to come back again. My favorites are the chili cheese fries, the pastrami sandwhich, and cheeseburger. I havent got around to try different items on the menu because I always end up getting my usual. The chili cheese fries aren't for the faint, as they are massive. If u get the pastrami sandwhich, you get so much meat, I usually add it on the fries or my burger. Their pastrami really is the best. Light and not overwhelming or salty. Their beanless chili is so good, I can eat it by itself. They also have an enormous display of condiments. So reasonable for great food! You don't find places like this anymore! read more

Finally decided to try this place, after living in the area for four years. We hit up the Starbucks in the same plaza all the time and we always see lines comparable to In n Out in their drive-thru. My hubby and I always say we will try it someday. I decided to give it a go on my own today since the line was hella short. Sorry hubby. As I waited in line, I looked up its Yelp reviews. Most are favorable, with good marks from elite members. Everyone is going crazy over the pastrami dip and the portion sizes. So I got pretty excited. Line went pretty fast, typical fast food drive thru speed. Ordered the pastrami dip and large onion rings and decided to park right outside the drive thru exit and finally try it. I wanna say it's as good as I thought it'd be, but alas, I am underwhelmed. No doubt the portion size of the onion rings is outrageous! It's like a gargantuan portion of onion rings for only $6! Good deal, but as far as flavor wise, they are whatevs. Could use salt. And the onion inside also tasteless. Wish the onion itself was thicker. The fry and crispness though, on point. As for the pastrami dip, ehhh, I've had better. And it looked like they were real sheisty with the amount of meat on the inside. I definitely felt the portion size does not match the price point of a $12 sandwich. Tasty, yes. But still, another whatevs. Didn't match the amount of meat I saw on other yelpers' pictures. So, I'll say this place is ok. Don't think I'd get the pastrami dip again. Maybe I'll try the wet fries one day. read more

Love this place. We stop here on our way to or from L.A. The fries with gravy (wet) or with chili are crunchy outside and soft inside. The pastrami sandwich is huge and delicious with mustard and pickles inside. read more

I've been going there for five years on the way to Arizona, and on the way back to California. Best pastrami sandwich. well worth the stop.

2 pastrami sandwiches, pastrami burger, onion rings and chili cheese fries! You talk about feeling up your stomach. We went to the Hat for dinner and took it home. The restaurant is always busy, clean and full of people. After we got home the onslaught started on the food. Very very good. My eyes were bigger than my appetite. Food coma came quickly after. read more

Heard this was a must have while in Fontana, CA. It must've been a popular spot because the drive thru was wrapped around the block. They are known for their pastrami sandwiches and loaded fries. I had the pastrami sandwich with avocado on sourdough. I will say if you're not starving, stay away from their place they give you so much meat. I only could eat half of the sandwich. Also they could as mire pickle and mustard for such a a large amount of meat. Maybe with that extra mustard the sandwich would not have been so dry. Overall though the place was different and the sandwich was filling. read more

It is pretty good in a pinch. The pastrami sandwich is loaded with pastrami. It is a little too expensive and my bread ended up a little soggy. Overall good though. If you crave a pastrami sandwich that isn't the thick, bland slices like in some delis, this is the place for you. read more

Outstanding food, portions are very well served!!!Service is excellent and restaurant well maintained....

The food here is absoloutly delicious. 1 large fry is enough to feed 2 people. Great place for family and friends. Very close to the mall.

I'm not a huge pastrami fan, however, this place might have changed my mind. Although I've only tried this place once, I feel I have a grasp of what they are all about. I tried their infamous Pastrami Burger, Pastrami Fries, side BBQ sauce, and Orange Bang! My cousin and I arrived here around 8pm and it wasn't as busy as we thought it would have been. The Hat is practicing great social distancing as well as cleanliness during this pandemic! When my cousin told me that The Hat had Orange Bang (a staple drink at our chain restaurant in Hawaii, Zippys) I didn't believe, I thought it was just a Hawaii thing, oh I was wrong, once I tried it, it tasted EXACTLY like my favorite drink back home! The Pastrami burger was MASSIVE, and I didn't know where to start. Stuffed with pastrami, a patty, lettuce, tomato, pickles and other amazing flavors! I never enjoyed pastrami but in this form it was delicious, however, it was a bit too much for me, but no negatives here for me. The flavors were fantastic! Pastrami Fries was great, I think I was too full off of pastrami to really enjoy it, but it was packed with chili cheese, and a mountain full of pastrami! read more

This is not a heathy food place but oh is it delicious. They've got classic west coast, thin-sliced pastrami that's lean enough to be flavorful and just slightly fatty enough to be juicy. The Hat is always a stop that must happen when we are in SoCal. Our favorites are the Pastrami Dip with extra mustard, the chili cheese fries with pastrami and the pastrami burger with avocado. Also notable are the cold turkey sandwich and the tuna salad sandwich. SO good. Enjoy your pastrami dip with a cold frothy Orange Bang or Fanta cherry soda. Heaven. read more

Good place to go late at night after seeing a baseball game. They make very good onion rings. Much bigger than the one in Pasadena. They were open this time with people inside. Last time on the 4th of July, they were closed and only the drive-thru was open. Got a double cheeseburger and it tasted very good. Managed to eat the lettuce and onion pieces that fell on the plate with a fork. I would recommend this location for anybody who lives or plans to visit the Inland Empire. People are very friendly when they take your order and you end up waiting 5-10 minutes for your food to come. The best thing is that there's no push button for the soda fountain. You have to use your finger. Spend about 20-30 minutes eating and we get drinks for the road to head home. Have yet to use the drive-thru. Located near Victoria Gardens which is perfect. read more

Old school pastrami joint. My dad would take us to the Hat when we were kids in the 70,s (yes I'm old). The place is still serving excellent sandwiches. Here's a hack that isn't on the menu. Put some of their bbq sauce on a pastrami burger. Yum. If you are doing the Route 66 thing, you must stop At the Hat. They have a few locations left along FootHill from I15 into LA. I think the original location is still in Alhambra. read more
