The Metro Restobar - Pomona

Love this place. So nice for happy hour during the week! Never been here on the weekend Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

If I based my review only on food, it might be a 3.5 review .... BUT .... the ambience, beer and waitress earned a 4 . My husband had a caesar salad with chicken, which was delicious and well presented. I had the smash burger ... nothing amazing. Patties were kind of dray, not much flavor. But the fries were yummy, and the onion rings weren 't bad. When another waitress sprayed cleanser on a table though, ugh, my food tasted like cleanser for a quick bit. Our waitress tipped the scales back toward positive. The music was great, just the right mix, at the right volume. The beer selection was good; I really liked the apricot gose from Claremont Craft Ales, and I am not a beer drinker. We will go back again.

Came for a Sunday lunch and got the steak nachos, metro burger, and western bbq burger. The burgers and fries were solid, nothing special but good enough for a sports bar. The nachos though, the texture was like stale chips straight from a bag. Not to mention they 're made with the bright yellow cheese sauce you 'd find at a movie theater or baseball game. For $19+tax, I 'd expect more. Points for decently sized portions and they were generous with guac and friendly service. Not sure if I 'd come back, but if anyone else sees this, avoid the nachos at all costs.

I visited this place for Taco Tuesday, and I had a great experience. The tacos were delicious, although they could use a bit more spice. The menu has been recently updated, so I'm eager to return and try more dishes. That evening, they also had an event with a nightclub ambiance later on, which added to the fun. I'm definitely planning to come back for one of their weekend events to see how it compares.

The food was outstanding and the service was very friendly. I highly recommend this place. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
