The food is amazing. Best schnitzel I’ve had since going to Germany. Order extra sauce on the side. We had a window seat with a view of Arrowhead Village. While we didn’t stay at the Inn there it looks amazing. Maybe just stop by and have a drink by the fireplace. We will definitely come back

About the restaurant
*Parties of 7+ must call to make a reservation.*

Relish a hand-cut filet mignon or signature “brick” chicken, or the sustainable seafood in our fish tacos, all masterfully seared over a live fire mesquite grill at Paul Martin’s American Grill. Located in the Victoria Gardens shopping center in Rancho Cucamonga, our menu features classic American cuisine made from the highest quality ingredients. Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or hosting a business lunch, our restaurant is the ideal place to impress or decompress.

About the restaurant
The State restaurant is a casual & comfortable dining experience you can enjoy your favorite foods, small batch whiskeys, craft cocktails & beers with friends & family. The joint venture began with Southern California natives that pooled their collective life savings and began work on their dream concept: The name pays homage to the restaurant’s first location on State Street in historic downtown Redlands.

About the restaurant
Time counts at BJ's Restaurant & Brewhouse. Since our humble beginnings back in 1978, we've continued to refine our brewhouse experience to make BJ's a place where you can make the most of any meal. We want BJ's to be a place where the moment you leave is the moment you plan on coming back. We pride ourselves in our craft and attention to detail. Our guests come here for our award-winning handcrafted beer. They come here for the Southern California twist we've put on the Chicago-style deep dish pizza. And they come here for our Pizookies®, our world-renowned dessert. But above all we know people come here to make their good times better. So in many ways we haven't just crafted a brand, but a mindset. And our guests are the reason for this. And it's because of them we're continually striving to make sure every moment they choose to spend with us counts. Welcome to BJ's, a restaurant with a Brewhouse soul.

Our server Jasmine was great and very attentive. The food was delicious as always. I was disappointed that the restaurant didn't have any Prosecco (they ran out), and they couldn't make the Smokehouse Burger because they ran out of the signature Smokehouse sauce. How do you run out of BJ's signature sauce?

Always impressed with Bin189 at breakfast, lunch and dinner. Had breakfast here today, the breakfast burrito was incredible, and now has my vote as the best on the mountain. Seems pricey, but the portion is enough for two meals.
