MF ORANGE BANG, a chili dog (no utensils), and a side of French dip sandwich with au jus will heal you. I pray I never see the Hat in the Bay Area because the sun and the stars wouldn't be able to carry the weight of my gut filled with orange bang. Don't get me started on the service, they are patient. I just can't decide on the caloric intake thus ordering multiple items is what I would recommend. I did gasp to myself "what in blue blazes" when I noticed the cheese charge. Thank heavens the chili they make is so good you will understand why utensils aren't needed. Burping, excuse me. This place hasn't changed interior wise either releasing memories of the first time I ever tried MF ORANGE BANG. Anyway, stop by. read more

So disappointed in our recent visit. GOOD: Plenty of parking. The pastrami is always great and did not disappoint this time either ; good portions. The touchless drink station was . BAD: I understand the place/neighborhood has been around a bit, but boy does this place look run down. From the parking lot to the dining room, to the restrooms The place was really dirty. Tables, floors, counters, drink station, restrooms, windows, and doors. For not being busy, our sandwiches said otherwise. Thrown together, lacking mustard and pickles. Our paper wraps were actually wrapped WITHIN our sandwiches.. a bit too wet as well. Fries were meh. For a Tuesday, evening..not real busy...cmon...we can do better. read more

After growing up just a few blocks away from the original HAT, I was disappointed in the pastrami after these many many years. The once well proportioned filled sandwich became a sandwich with 2/3rds less meat. Everything else we ordered was good and proportions were decent...but the pastrami, VERY DISAPPOINTING!!! Service was good and ambiance is average. read more

First time here and I like the ambiance and service was great. Manager and cooks super friendly. Definitely recommend The Hat read more

Came by during lunch on a weekday, and it was super busy. We ordered ahead, but it still took a little over 20 minutes to get our food. I'm not a big fan of pastrami, but my husband said the sandwich is decent--though he said he prefers the chili cheese fries. The onion rings were my favorite! Super crunchy, and even the small size was plenty to share between two people. The food is definitely on the greasy side. After eating here, you'll probably feel like crashing for a nap! read more

There's no other place i know of that has a better pastrami sandwich than the hat..I've also have there chili cheese fries and hot dog and its pretty good..it gets pretty busy from time to time,but its worth it. read more

Definitely recommend going here if you love onion rings! The serving sizes are more than enough for 2-3 people to share. Also ordered their pastrami sandwich, which I thought was pretty yummy. The drive through line was long and passed a little slower than other restaurants, but the food here is worth the wait! read more

Always delicious and price isn't too bad ... my husband and I split the pastrami sandwich and shared the ginormous chili cheese fries which we never finish. Service is fast and the dining room was clean. read more

Never believed in too much of the hype around The Hat, however, we were hungry late with limited options in the IE and were craving chili cheese fries. We decided to give The Hat a try and we're pleasantly disappointed. We had ordered chili cheese fries and added onions. I'm not sure if we were the first people to ever add onions to chili cheese fries, but they threw a bunch of large onion slices on top of the fries. The portion was huge, and the chili and cheese were actually surprising good, however, the fries tasted like they were cooked this morning and sat under the light for 9 hours staying warm. The fries tasted like they were refried and were so hard they sounded like potato chips. I took the order back and let the cashier know what happened. She said okay let me make you some more. No apology, no empathy, nothing. "No thank you, I will take a refund please. " She took the fries threw them in the trash in front of me. Asked me if I had the card I paid with, gave me my receipt, and told me thank you. Thank you for what?? I asked if I could speak with the manager because I noticed most of the staff were just hanging out behind the counter talking and chilling, which is fine. But why can't I get some fresh $12 fries?? Cashier told me the manager was on break so I left. As I was leaving I noticed how disgusting the inside of the restaurant was ( we ordered drive through). Inside floor and tables were disgusting and staff having a good time. Will not be coming back to The Hat anytime soon. Very disappointing. read more

​After years of driving by during visits to see family in the area or through to Vegas, I finally stopped by for lunch recently. It was lunchtime during a holiday weekend, so the dining room was mostly full (along with a long line in the drive-thru). But there was parking available in the lot, so my wife & I dined-in. We each order a pastrami dip and shared the chili cheese fries, along with fountain sodas. Even though there was a steady stream of customers going through the line, our food came up very quickly. The first thing I noticed was that the order of chili cheese fries was HUGE! If I had known ahead of time, we would only gotten a single sandwich with the fries. Instead, we tried our best to defeat our meal. While we did devour the pastrami dips, we could not finish the fries. But the pastrami was some of the best I've had in the area, and the chili on the fries was perfect. Next time, we'll know better (or we'll just get some onion rings instead). This location is open late (until 1 AM), so I can see myself stopping in on the drive to or from Vegas. Way better than any other late night options in the area. read more

As my reviews normally begin, let's start with the good ... There is none. I ordered a cheeseburger and chili cheese fries and I genuinely didn't think it was possible to make food this bland in my life. I mean how do you even manage to make chili and cheese taste like straight up nothing? There was no saving my meal. My burger? It was literally just two cold stale buns straight out of the plastic packaging which sandwiched the burger toppings and a nice stiff cold piece of cardboard that i'm assuming is supposed to be the meat. I'm beyond disappointed and will not be coming back. The only reason i'm not giving this place a 1 star review is that I haven't gotten physically ill from consuming their food.. yet. I will update if anything changes. read more

best pastrami i've ever eaten. I get my sandwich with dip on the side the chili cheese fries are amazing. Thumbs up with this restaurant.

I've been attending fan of the pastrami from the Hat for more than 25 years now. Introduced to me from my colleagues when I worked at Ontario airport in the late 1990's. Simply some of the best pastrami I've ever had. A few months ago I discovered that The Hat and Tommy's hamburgers get their chili from the same supplier and that it's the same recipe. So now I don't have to choose between a Tommy's chili cheese burger and a pastrami sandwich from the Hat. I can Simply order the pastrami, chili and cheese fries from the Hat and have the best of both worlds. Yes, it's a little pricey for an order of fries, but it can literally be a meal for 2 people. Absolutely delicious, as always. While I couldn't finish the order I definitely ate every bit of pastrami, as much of the chili as I could manage, almost every Shred of cheese and a fairly good number of fries. I was completely stuffed and didn't have room for another bite. The Hat also serves orange bang. So you better believe that I had an orange bang for my drink while I was there. The Victoria gardens location is convenient, easy street access and has a drive through. So you can get your pastrami fix without even having to leave your car. I'll be back for sure. read more

The pastrami is excellent! The one thing we always order when we're here is the pastrami chili cheese fries. Just be ready with a few extra people because it's gonna take all of you to finish this. The pastrami is stacked. I don't know how many pounds they put on it but oh my God there's a lot of pastrami, and the fries are crispy and delicious. A must is you have to order a side of gravy to dip it in that's key. These pastrami fries are a meal all by themselves but again have somebody with you to back you up so that you can finish the entire thing. This is definitely a go to when in the IE. read more

I was just there today, April 3rd at 6:30pm, and Miguel in the drive thru went just beyond that I had to write a review. The food here is always spectacular but I completely spaced out and forgot to order the food at the screen lol I had never done that! Miguel laughed with me and was so kind with the situation. He brought out the food to my car and just went beyond with customer service! Thank you Miguel! read more

Ok I've been living under a rock because I've never had pastrami from The Hat and did not know about their gigantous servings. For a party of two I ordered 2 pastramis, small fries, small onion rings, and chili cheese fries. My goodness, we had waaaaay too much food. The chili cheese fries itself was almost as big as a 4 drink container holder. I had no idea it was going to be that much. My order came out to about $45. The sandwiches did not disappoint. Very generous servings of meat inside. Perfect ratio of meat to bread in my opinion. The fries were ok. The onion rings though... A MUST! read more

I've been going to the hat for years at the upland location. Never, ever again, the portions are so small as if you're getting a pastrami from togos. If you're lucky never again, I don't know why they get the review so high they must be getting paid and the pictures are an illusion. read more

Had never heard of this restaurant but an old boss of my from a previous job treated the employees. I remember how good the fries were. I'm not into pastrami but the hubby is so we gave this location a try. It's a big beautiful restaurant. I could tell by the volume of cars in drive thru that this place is a hit. Love the decor inside and outside. To hold a volume of 96 people in the dining area it sure was spacious and organized. I absolutely adored the contactless fountain drink machine. That was totally cool!!!! I love the fact that the team members had their own space to take orders and prepare them. The food was absolutely delicious. It can be pricey but boy it's worth it!!! I love turkey burgers with cheese and some toasty fries. This restaurant can deliver. Wasn't overly salty and made to perfection. Hubby came for the pastrami and they didn't disappoint! I'll definitely come back!!! That's a promise!! read more

The hat is iconic. The prices are insane compared to just five years ago, but that's how it's like everywhere. We got two pastrami dips and the pastrami chili fries the cheese, and it never disappoints My son loves the orange cream soda as well as the pineapple and would go there for just a drink. The service is fair and they actually didn't call our number this time so that was weird. The ambience is to be expected for a fast food joint in the drive-through was insane. Overall, when we want pastrami, this is the place. read more

We hadn't been to the hat in a while, and grabbed a box of the chili cheese fries, when we passed by. I was so surprised with the mountain of cheese and chili we got today. They were really generous this time with it! It covered all the fries, and all the cheese was melted this time too. However, I was disappointed that all the fries were again super soggy, even though we ate it immediately. Even so, I still love the hat and how sharable the portions are. read more

When venturing behind enemy lines into the people's communist state of CA, I like to visit my old childhood haunts before escaping back to freedom in AZ. To my brothers in CA behind enemy lines, the chair is against the wall. Pastrami as I remembered. They have some neat Pina colada fountain drink too. read more

Went there for lunch and had the best pastrami sandwich ever. Very busy but got our food fast. Highly recommend.

My wife and I went to eat here the other day. I purchased a double cheeseburger and some chili cheese pastrami fries. The 2 pieces of meat in the burger were soo thin. I think they're trying to make a Smashburger (Bad idea). They also gave way less pastrami chili cheese fries than before. Don't know why they would change something that worked for so many years. Disappointed read more

The food here is super delicious. I got the chili cheese fries and it's definitely a different texture. They are known for their pastrami sandwiches, which are excellent. I would stick with the pastrami sandwich though because the chili cheese fries were nothing out of the ordinary they do have really delicious drinks, piña colada whipped and also a whipped bang concoction overall it was a good time. Service was fast and the restaurant itself is basic decor. read more

I had a steak sandwich, and it was good. I have also had a pastrami that was good too.

I ordered a barbecue sandwich with chili cheese fries it cost me $24.99. The french fries taste like okay and the chili taste like armpit. The barbecue sandwich was really messy and the outside of the bread was drenched and slobbered with barbecue sauce. I wasn't a fan I will not be coming back. Sorry for the referral from who sent me here but not a go. I prefer to eat at the deli instead! read more

On a rainy Saturday night I was getting off of work and thought hmmm.. not really craving anything fast food & it's far too cold to dine in let me go on google and see what's available. I selected the opened now feature and the first thing that came up was The Hat. I noticed they didn't close till 1 am and they seemed to have pretty decent reviews, so I figured oh heck why not let's give it a try. I called in to place an order (pick up) and went with the cheeseburger w/ avocado and a side of fries. (Grabbed a handful of the yellow peppers too for that extra umfff) haha ;) when I walked in people were dining in, there were orders being placed through the drive thru, and the ambience seemed to be lively. The girls up front were charming and they had my food ready in minutes. I ofcourse asked for a few ketchup packets and they actually ended up giving me a handful so that was kind of them. As I walked out I felt pretty optimistic about my decision. Once in the car I was ready for my meal. The cheeseburger gave me that good old American taste and the fries were straight out of the frier! Mmm mmm. I was content. To top it all off it was only like 12 bucks for everything so definitely convenient on the old wallet. Yeay! Come by and give it a try it if you're in the area (: read more

Our 1st time here and I was skeptical at first. I have to be honest, I don't normally give a perfect score but this place deserves it. I'm confuse why the rating is only 3.9. The food was not great but excellent! More for your buck. 2 sandwiches for $25 is not bad at all. I had the steak sandwich and my husband had the pastrami. The pepperoncinis were a great pair with the sandwiches. It gives it a bit of a heat. We will be back again to try their other sandwiches. The place is clean and always packed. I like the vibe and the staff were efficient and friendly. read more
