The Rookery Alehouse & Grill

I came here to grab a beer and a bite before a concert at The Glass House. Super friendly staff, solid draft selection and great food.

The meal was fantastic. We enjoyed the Fried pickles, and every bite was full of flavor. Everything is made fresh to order, and the service adds a warm, welcoming touch.

Exceptionally good food and service in a renovated historical downtown building. The LA hot dog was the best I've ever eaten. We arrived a few minutes before opening and the bartender/server graciously allowed us in, greeting us warmly. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others and will certainly return when I find myself in downtown Pomona, which appears to be on the verge of resurgence thanks to an influx of young entrepreneurs such as the ones operating The Rookery. I urge readers to support downtown revitalization by patronizing this outstanding establishment.

I recently dined here before a concert and, unfortunately, my experience was quite disappointing. The food quality left much to be desired. The zucchini, which I had hoped would be a fresh and flavorful side, was anything but. It was coated in a thick, greasy, and flavorless batter that made it unappetizing. The chili cheese fries were another major letdown. The dish consisted of a lot of bland, weirdly dry beef and stewed tomatoes, but there was barely any cheese. This was particularly disappointing as the cheese is supposed to be a key component of chili cheese fries. I ended up eating around the chili, and thankfully, the french fries themselves were actually pretty good. However, everything on the plate desperately needed salt to bring out any flavor. The jalapenos in the picture were actually from a hot dog that somebody else at the table had and they were also not enough to save the food. While the service was friendly, it didn't quite make up for the food issues. I had requested sour cream to go with my fries, but it didn't arrive until I had already given up on trying to salvage the dish. Overall, my visit here was far from enjoyable. The lackluster food really overshadowed the friendly demeanor of the staff.

First time here. I usually stay away from Pomona but this place had good reviews and the menu is attractive. Was not disappointed at all. The service was great and the atmosphere was warm an welcoming. The food was good we had burgers and chimichurri fries and Brussel spouts and everything was delicious. If you are in the mood for some freshly made food that is prepared to order and flavors with great service. Give this place a try. Will be back to see if it is consistent and try the wings.
