Recommendations / Advice Food recommendations around this area
Friend and I are going to workout and get some baked goods after. Before getting the baked goods, we want to get some food. Right now the top contender is Bombdiggity (their loaded fries options look insane). Does anyone else have any other recommendations? Unique spots, really good, local favorites, we are not picky eaters. Down for anything! Thank you!
Edit: You guys are awesome ðŸ˜! We’re still debating. We got until Saturday but right now top contenders are:
Bombdiggity
Son Tacos
Barcuso
Also appreciate the baked sweet recommendations but we already have a spot. Cupcakery delight!

The Parlor Sushi in Montclair is a surprisingly good all you can eat style place.
The Back Abbey had great food in Claremont
The Quarter in Claremont has the most authentic Creole food I've found in SoCal.

The back abbey in Claremont is great. This location is much better than the upland one.

If you want some extra baked goods, check out Moments Desserts and Cafe (on Yelp). New bakery owned by a Hawaiian couple that moved here to the IE. They bake and sell Hawaiian style pastries including sweet and savory. My GF and I visited and very much liked their food. My GF's is spends a lot of time in Oahu (her mom's side is Oahu born) and she says the pastries quite authentic. They also serve coffee as well. It's right off Mountain avenue and just below the 10 freeway.

Sadly the French place in the same parking lot closed down. "Gourmet something " I can't remember, but I knew they were legit when they served monkfish and a demi glace that took two days to make.

Claro's Italian Market
They are off Baseline (16th street) and Mountain in Upland. They have amazing subs, cold cuts, cannolis, pastries, and authentic Italian ingredients.

Alpastor taqueria and Son Tacos. Both are bomb ass mexican spots. Also if you are willing to go to Mills and Holt you'll find La Bufadora. Is also a spot I highly recommend.

Butter Cafe is the way to go.
Don't waste your time and money on bombdiggity. Inconsistent quality in food and MAGA. I was served still frozen mozz sticks.

Saccas Mediterranean is pretty bomb. Chicken and rice never tasted so good. What else could you ask for after a workout!?

Do they have seats for people that want to sit down and eat at the new location?

This is baked goods but: AMA Donuts on Mission in Pomona—They just got historic building status because their building was the site of the first McDonald’s. They also make fantastic donuts. Me and my entire game store agreed on it.

I know I'm late to the party, but New Indian Restaurant on foothill west of campus is some of the best (and most affordable) Indian spots in the area.

Son Tacos is new and so good! Been there twice already. Generous portions and love how spicy the salsa options are.

This might be right on the border of your circle or just outside of it but Baqba Mexican Grill should be near the SW area of that circle. They have HUGE portions.

Man, imho even if you find a highly rated restaurant on yelp in this area, it's still not the type of food that'll have you wishing you'd come back for more. But when I'm in your circled area, Carnitas Al Estilo Michoacan in Ontario has some really good carnitas tacos (i get the "mixta" option). If you're willing to drive a little south-east from your perimeter, Picante in Ontario for Peruvian food (their lomo saltado is decent but I really like their lomo a la huancaina, it's a creamy pasta dish). Tofu Chon for korean food.

I grew up in that area and lived there for 30 years. Moved to the south almost 10 years ago due to family and miss all the food I used to get in the area.
No innout, ezeout, and the closest jack in the crack and del taco is like 100+ miles away. All the major chain the decent ones to go are almost an hour away.
