    Always a yummy selection to eat at when in the area! I brought my husband and co workers some lunch and they were fast efficient and got my order right! I ordered 6 pastrami sandwiches which is hands down the best pastrami sandwiches ever a chilis dog, chili cheese fries and a hot dog with a large fry they didn't miss one item and had my food ready extremely fast! I highly recommend trying the hat if you haven't the chili cheese pastrami fries and the pastrami sandwiches are top notch!

    I visited the other location in Rancho Cucamonga in the past , I find the Upland spot is my preferred location . The pastrami sandwich were soft ( I should have asked for a side of lettuce) that would balance out the savory/ salty flavor of the pastrami.

    Amazing! The pastrami sandwich was so good. Easy fast service. Their chili fries were amazing too.

    Side of chili ( only a half a cup) WTH?!

    I've been coming to this location since 1990, and I've noticed in the last couple of years the quality has gone down. Today I only ordered a small French fries and a side of chili. The fries were not that good, they'd been sitting awhile, I ate about half of them and threw them away. The side of chili was a joke, I paid full price for a side of chili only to get a half a cup. Come on! Hope this was an isolated incident. Do better next time, don't lose a longtime customer!

    Skimped on the pastrami!

    I go to this place because the sandwiches are full of meat, but this time, I don't know if they're trying to save money or what... this is the only negative review I've ever left! the bun was touching the other bun! There was no meat in the sandwich such a disappointment.

    Bring receipt ticket number to pick up order

    Finally a long time coming. I've heard the tales of their pastrami, I've seen the chili cheese fries loaded so full it almost breaks the box. I've seen the hats and smiling faces of guests walking out stuffed and satisfied. The day finally came for my turn. So excited to have a first visit! Yes, what took so long? Other things came between us and it was like a long lost relative having a reunion. It was everything, everything I wished it would be and I... I could fly higher than the eagles. Staff were great, wonderfully friendly. Visiting with good friends. Luvd this pastrami so juicy and not overly salty. Sandwiched inside perfectly baked bread. Slather some mustard on it to kick it up. Gravy fries were my fave. Enjoyed the chili cheese but kept going back to the gravy. Of course some orange bang! Well maintained, clean and organized. Staff were awesome, efficient and friendly. Large parking lot for rvs to maneuver through, Inside or patio seating areas. Thanks brutha for my first pastrami!

    Last night, while I was out with some buddies in Upland we decided to stop by The Hat for a late dinner! The place wasn't too packed when we arrived and I ordered the Chili Fries with Pastrami on top. The food took about 10 mins to prepare and I have to say I was not dissapointed by the size and the taste. The dish was massive and definitely meant for more than 1 person. Would recommend this spot for a late-night meal if you are in the area.

    Amazingly good ! But it can be overwhelming. I would suggest on sharing so you can try more dishes

    Did The Hat Close?

    No the hat has not closed yet and I think as long as this is still a popular spot this place is going to keep on running

    Are there vegan options?

    I think there is only the Avocado sandwich. The menu is as posted... check that out too see what is possible. Lastly ask when you go in! Good luck.

    I visited 42nd Street Bagel Café in Claremont today and unfortunately had a very disappointing…read moreexperience. I ordered two sesame bagels, toasted, with cream cheese on the side, and two everything bagels, toasted, with cream cheese on them. When the employee took my order, she repeated it back correctly as two sesame bagels and two everything bagels. However, when I received my order and checked it before leaving, I discovered that I had only been given two sesame bagels and one everything bagel. When I politely asked about the missing everything bagel, the employee insisted that I had only ordered one. She also refused to provide her name when asked. Instead of resolving the issue professionally, I was required to pay again for the missing bagel. The dismissive attitude and lack of customer service were disappointing. As a former New Yorker, I was equally disappointed with the bagels themselves. The restaurant promotes a New York-style bagel experience, but these bagels did not resemble the authentic New York bagels I grew up eating. They lacked the characteristic chew, texture, and flavor that make New York bagels famous. The bagels were also barely toasted. Rather than having a crisp exterior and warm center, they seemed only lightly warmed. A properly toasted bagel should have some crunch and color, and these simply did not. Mistakes happen in every restaurant, but how those mistakes are handled is what matters. My recommendation to future customers is to carefully inspect their order before leaving the counter. Unfortunately, based on this experience, both the customer service and product quality fell well below expectations.
