Steak sandwich was overcooked. Horrible! Medium fries with gravy. Nasty. Wasted food this day. Sorry. I didn't like the food at all. Thought I made some safe choices from the menu and my cholesterol had enough. read more

Do not get the BBQ beef sandwich. The worst sandwich I have ever had. Does not taste good.

I usually enjoy the Hat and have recommended family and friends to eat there. Today we got takeout to enjoy at home, and I didn't notice there was mold on the bun until I was halfway through it. If mine had mold, I imagine mine was not the only one. read more

The Hat - MOLD on a hot dog bun is unacceptable. I had not noticed the mold until I was halfway through it. - Fast Food Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

I ordered the Pastrami Dip because that is their specialty. How could you not with "featuring World Famous Pastrami Dip" in huge font on the menu board? It was the right choice. It had plenty of pastrami and just the right amount of mustard and pickles. The Pastrami was flavorful and the au jus made it the perfect dip sandwich. I also recommend the onion rings. The restaurant was very clean and the service was great. read more

Top choice for delicious hot sandwiches when we're in Rancho Cucamonga. Wish there was one closer to Riverside.

The sandwich was delicious. There was so much pastrami in it ! I really enjoyed it! So much good for the price!

This is the best place for cold fresh sandwiches, especially on that rye bread. So amazing. Service is always fast and good. Typical fast food atmosphere. read more

Sorry for the delay in time. Yelp* asked what I like about The Hat. 1st) I've been going to The Hat since the '80s. Over in Monterey Park on Garfield. 2nd) I don't care about its social media presence. I don't care about its decor. Remember, in the '80s, first half of the '90s we didn't have social media. It was all about the reputation. Of the food, service and its allure. After all The Hat has been around since 1951 Period. read more

Overrated. The pastrami barley had any flavor. The chili wasn't all that great either. Everything just simply lacked flavor.

If you have a appetite you'll love The Hat! Pastrami Burger and pastrami chile fries a must! Their burgers are good too! read more

What can I say about The Hat? I've been eating at its various locations for decades and the only thing that's changed was the price, but the food is still worth it. All the locations I've been to are similar in motif and layout to this location. You order at the counter in the back and wait for your number to be called. The menu can be a little overwhelming, so you may need to stay out of the line as you figure out what to have. The food is amazing. I love pastrami and the Hat is one of my favorite, especially because of the portion size. Your sandwich comes with a lot of pastrami (which is how all pastrami sandwiches should be), and the flavor, temp, smell is what makes it my favorite. We also had the ham and American sandwich with fries and that sandwich is also good (for those who don't like pastrami). The fries come out lightly seasoned, so you'll want to add salt. This place is one of my favorites, and I wish I had one near me. read more

This is my absolute favorite "local fast food" joint in SoCal. There's multiple locations in the IE that I enjoy. This stop was at the Rancho location on our way back up the 15. We got the pastrami, wet fries (brown gravy), 2 grilled cheese, 2 hot dogs, chili dog (with all the fixings) and a avocado sandwich. The portions to price to flavor are the best here. It's worth a try when you are in SoCal. We will return in a few weeks. read more

I kinda don't get the hype, except for one item. It was A LOT of food I'll give them that, but I've had much better pastrami sandwiches before not as expensive. We also got a burger. It too was, eh. I get a much better burger at Burger Basket. The only thing that stood out was the order of chili fries. They were very good and humongous. That is really the only thing I'd go back for. The flavor of the chili was really good. I could imagine myself getting an order of them on a cold rainy day and getting warmed up. Plus, it was large enough to share between three or four people. Maybe I'll try their chili dog next time. read more

Best pastrami! Just the best. Place gets busy but they have a drive through. Though it gets full, but it's because it's so good. Lots of dishes here but honestly the pastrami is run away favorite read more

So good I went back again the next day. First day I tried the pastrami chili fries and the chili burger and the second day I ordered the chili dog. The prices are very fair because they give you large portions of food. The quality and taste of the food are amazing. Really one of the best fast food places I have been too. Give this place a try you will not regret it. read more

Service was good food was not great . Lack of salt and flavor . Purchase a cheese burger and lettuce taste like packaged lettuce ... just a weird taste . Chill cheese fries is where it lacked in flavor . read more

I don't care what anyone says but this is a Cali staple. The chili cheese fries are amazing if made fresh and the burgers and sandwiches are outstanding. Onion rings with gravy is to die for as well. Pastrami is out of this world. My only complaint about this place is that it does get busy and your food may be just sitting there waiting if you order through the drive thru. Overall would recommend trying the pastrami dip and some chili cheese fries with onions and tomatoes. read more

Chilli cheese fries with pastrami don't forget the yellow chili's!!! There was a small line but the staff move very fast. I only waited about 8 minutes!! Wow! The place was crowded to sit and eat so we took it to go. There are some tables outside if the noise is too loud for you. Classic oldie but goodie! Never disappointed! read more

The Hat - Pastrami fries with chili! 100% recommend it! - Fast Food Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

My husband and I love the Pastrami Sandwich. The service is fairly fast depending on how packed they are. The restaurant is kept up and it can be a little loud at times inside. There's plenty of parking around, but the area does get a lot of traffic being near Victoria Gardens. I do feel like there was less meat than usual this time, but it still tasted great. read more

The ambiance was good, the service is awesome! The servings are excellent BUUUUT their meet itself are too salty, like really really salty we were sad cause we were so excited to try their pastrami and hungry but we haven't finished our order since its very very salty. The bread was perfect but the one we ordered was really not it. I hope they will put a little salt in it because the texture of the meat was really good!! Soft and easy to chew but yeah just tooo salty :( read more

Horrible experience they are super racist. One of the workers was talking crazy. I didn't understand her, but she kept looking at me giving me dirty Looks because they messed up my order and they're taking their time, I go to make a complaint and the manager goes. What did she say? I'm like I don't speak Spanish But I know she was talking crazy about me because of the looks she was giving me. I strongly don't recommend this place. It's dirty. The floors are nasty, dirty tables. The bathroom sucks. I don't recommend this place at all maybe a different hat, but not this one in Rancho Cucamonga horribly ran, a hat you guys gotta do better cause this ain't it. read more

This will officially be a stop when headed back to Vegas from Cali. Service is quick, the food is delicious and what I would consider a great price. They offer indoor and our door seating and the staff was very friendly. The pastrami never disappoints and on this trip we tried the tuna melt (forgot pic) which was also great. Not sure I'll add to every visit because they are known for the pastrami. read more

Love their pastrami sandwich. I was very disappointed with their version of chili. More like a flavored sauce, no beans, not much meat just not what I would consider traditional chili. read more

Went after 9:00pm...used the drive-thru. Ordered a pastrami dip, fries and a Piña Colada bang! Fries were hot and extra good. Pastrami always to die for. The Hat is a must try. Will definitely be back! read more

Hadn't been to the hat in a while and this was my first time at this location, so yummy! We got really full though since we also ordered sides. Got the pastrami sandwich, which was made perfectly! Then got a side of onion rings and chili cheese fries. Everything was tasty! The has a good amount of tables, but it was busy during Sunday lunch so it was a little hard to get a table. It was cold and a tiny bit rainy but we sat outside anyway, we didn't let the rain ruin our lunch! read more

After shopping at Victoria Gardens, we stopped by The Hat for a quick bite. My husband and I shared the chili cheese fries, and when he asked if they could layer the chili between the fries, they gladly accommodated his request. This made a huge difference, ensuring that most of the fries were evenly coated in chili. Hands down, these were the best chili cheese fries I've ever had! read more

Had not had The Hat in a couple of years. Not because I did not want to, but because I don't live in So-Cal. On a recent trip to visit my folks, I mentioned that I wanted to go. They were both game, so out we went. I only ever had the Pastrami but they offer more than that, and they were amazing looking dishes. The pastrami sandwich was awesome and added a "small" order of fries, which was plenty for the three of us. If you haven't, you are missing out. read more

WARNING.... They cut down on the portions! The pastrami is so much smaller and they don't give you as much meat anymore!!!!!! I used to be a regular here and they dramatically cut down on the portion sizes. The chili cheese fries as well. read more

The Hat is always busy but the service is on point because they get the lines handled rather quickly. Reminiscent of Pinks Hot Dogs in LA or the old Tommy's Burgers in Rampart. The Roast Beef AND Hot Dogs are our go to every time as they never disappoint. We normally take our foot to go, but we were so hungry we decided to dine in and got lucky with indoor seating. Even outdoor seating is taken. If you haven't been it's a must as the food, service, price, and atmosphere is a win no matter what location you go to. read more

Has been the best burger spot I've known since I've moved to the IE ! The chili cheese fries are a must ! Definitely is better than In N Out

This place has no customer service whatsoever and they couldn't care less! Bunch of kids chitchatting and joking around. The food is a hit and miss with more misses than good! The best Hat restaurant is the one in Upland and the one in Brea. I hope the owner sees this review and addresses it with his manager read more

We visited here twice. The first time we went in & ordered to-go. The second time we went through the drive-thru. BOTH TIMES they forgot to give us the au ju dip. What is the point of a dip sandwich without that?! The food is delicious but it's a big time bummer to get home and realized a staple of your meal is missing. Check your bags before leaving!!! read more

This place has always been good. I don't crave pastrami often, but when I do, I go to the hat. They're a bit pricey but the food is just too good. I usually get their pastrami fries and it's a pretty big portion. I like that they have a drive thru, but regardless of if you go inside or through the drive thru, it usually takes a while. I don't go to the hat often, but it's always a nice treat when I do go. read more

Food and service great. Portion and taste amazing. What an experience - wish I had a larger appetite.

The Hat is famous and known for their Pastrami sandwiches, that are ginormous by the way. So you might be wondering, what is a plant-based vegetarian/ sometimes vegan (depending on the day) person doing going to The Hat? Well The Hat offers some plant-based options. Not a whole lot though, so if you are strict on how your food is prepared (grills) or the cooking bases used (lard etc) then this place may not be for you. I am more flexible on those things though. The Hat offers the avocado sandwich, and that is really good. I mean you must love avocado for that one. It's literally bread with a crapload of avocado lol The other option is a grilled cheese sandwich. And I mean, it's a grilled cheese sandwich. Not a whole lot going on there. It's okay when they cook it well. This most recent time though, the grilled cheese wasn't really cooked all the way. The cheese was not melted. Not all that great. The French fries and onion rings were good. Just know that the portion sizes here are huge. You get a lot of food! Which is good value wise. read more
