Best Neighborhood Gem Restaurants in Pomona

Service was fast and friendly. Food was fresh and had great flavor. Never had Cuban cuisine before and I’m fairly picky but I’m so glad I went. My girlfriend and I will definitely be back soon!

Pomona Valley Mining Co offers a charming and romantic dining experience with a warm, inviting ambiance. The setting is quiet and intimate, enhanced by thoughtfully designed lighting that sets the perfect mood for a relaxed evening out. The drinks were a highlight of the evening—well-crafted and enjoyable. The dinner menu offered solid choices, and the food overall was good, making for a satisfying meal. However, I did have mixed feelings about the spinach artichoke dip; I had high hopes for it, but the texture was more reminiscent of a chowder soup than a traditional dip, which wasn’t quite to my taste. One minor drawback was the wait before being seated. We were directed to order drinks at the bar while waiting, which resulted in two separate checks—one for the bar and another for dinner. While not a major inconvenience, it did slightly impact the flow of the experience. Overall, Pomona Valley Mining Co is a lovely spot for a date night or special occasion, with a great atmosphere and enjoyable food and drinks.

Me and my group comes here every year and it’s always a 5 star experience! LOVED IT! Thank you’

Outstanding! In everyway….. Food was some of the best BBQ I’ve ever had Service was outstanding…. Food was brought out quickly and every dish looked amazing. Our server was incredibly attentive and friendly, ensuring that we all had what we needed and our drinks were refilled. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and made some excellent recommendations that we really enjoyed. One detail (among many others) that stood out to me right away was the quality and presentation of thier kids menu items. Gus’s BBQ is a place that makes you want to come back again and again. In fact we enjoyed it so much that we reserved a table for breakfast tomorrow. If you haven’t been to Gus’s BBQ I would encourage you to put it on the “bucket list”

Our server Emma was attentive, friendly, and personable.
