RedHill Coffee Shop — Restaurant in Fontana

I was just passing by and was looking for a coffee shop just to get a cup of coffee and maybe a pastry or some kind of muffin. I was planning on going to the starbucks that was close by but had read the reviews on this place and thought what the hell. The surroundings look a little dumpy but when I went inside, found it to be quaint. I walk to the cash register and find out it's a sit-down diner. Okay, maybe they'll still have what I'm hankering for. I'm told by the waitress to just sit anywhere. I sit down and immediately find one of the forks still had food on it. Okay, no big deal. I had thought of just quickly switching the forks with one that was already placed on one of the empty tables but thought against it as I thought it would seem weird like I was messing with their cutlery. As I'm waiting for her to bring me a menu, I look around taking the place in and see four menus next to the condiments on my table. I wonder why she didn't tell me the menus were already on the table. My heart sank when I saw the prices of each plate. Everything was double the price of a Farmer Boys which serves similar food. Nothing (meant for adults) was priced lower than $11. I order a cappuchino that cost $2.75. i forget to tell him about the fork. He comes back with my drink. I ask him to give me a minute to look over the menu. I again forget to tell him about the fork. About five minutes later he comes back and I order the only thing that was cheap enough on the menu that still appetized me, a chorizo and egg plate that cost a little over $11. Around a minute after ordering, I felt a pit in my stomach. He comes back from the kitchen to talk to some patrons. I call out to him and ask him if they accept debit cards. He says cash only but that there's an ATM behind me. They can't be arsed to buy a card reader? ATM: "The Coffee Shop charges $2 for every withdrawal." Oh that's why. I get my twenty and sit back down. Okay at least the food should be okay. The cappuchino certainly was. My food finally arrives and to my chagrin see that 70% of the plate is just hashbrowns. I again forget to mention the fork. I grab a bottle of ketchup to put some on the hasbrowns and find that the bottle was almost empty. I manage to get two spurts before I give up. I flag down the waitress and tell her my fork has food on it. She tells me no problem and gives me what I'm hoping was another fork and that she didn't just scrape off the food with her finger and give me the same fork back (I'm that cynical). She asks me with a twinge of sarcasm if anything else is to my liking and I just tell her everything's fine. I guess even the lady that was sitting in front of me with two guys even sensed something because she turned around to look at us. As she left I was again considering just switching the forks with one on an adjacent table. I finally dig into the food and find it bland. There was absolutely no flavor. Not even the hasbrowns. I have no idea where they get their chorizo, but usually it already comes pre-seasoned and if not, all the restaurants I've gone to will serve it with some sort of flavorful sauce to mask the blandness. It was like I was just eating matter. I bite into the toast that had accompanied my order and found it to be delicious. Isn't that ridiculous? I paid $12 and the only food that tasted good was the toast and the cappuchino. I'm given the bill and put my twenty bucks on it after I had already given up on 40% of hasbrowns that were still on my plate. I finished my cappuchino, leaving a tip for the male server who was actually very pleasant. I ask the waitress if they have a bathroom so i could wash my hands and she cordially directed me to it, which was outside. I open the the door and am welcomed by a most pungent smell. It was barely 9am and the bathroom already reeked. I quickly washed my hands and left. I don't think I'll be coming back. I never thought I'd say this, but the Starbucks would have...

I remember how good this place was a few years ago so I decided to take my Grandparents. It was 4 of us total. There was no wait and a open booth that would fit 4 comfortably, the waitress said it was for 5 or more. I said no ones here though, and she had an attitude. They said what for the owner. I said can you get her so I can ask. They said no she will be out soon. After about 10 min of waiting I started getting frustrated and asked for the booth. They so no its the rules. I said isn't 4 people better then none because we are gonna leave if you don't work with us. Well two of the waitress had really bad attitudes and we also noticed since the last time I came there the prices almost doubled. Anyways we left before seeing the owner because of the poor customer service and how the owner hid in the back. That was the craziest part. Businesses like this won't last long treating 70 year old people like that. Also I called the restaurant to hopefully talk to the owner about the experience and the girl who answer the phone said the owner was still busy please call back later, lol. Worst customer service I ever experience at a restaurant, no wonder they can barely stay running. I am a real customer by the way these dolled up reviews don't seem very legit. I am sure they have big portion but they cost big and with customer service like that I will warn everyone not...

For this place to be so small, they deliver in a huge way. While I've only dined in their lounge once, I'm going to speak on ordering their food to go and feeding a large group breakfast.

I am a fan of pancakes and waffles, their pancakes are awesome due to the fact that they are tasty and ginormous (if that's a word lol) usually you sacrifice 1 or the other. You can get huge flapjacks but the flavor will be off, or you can have great tasting cakes but need to get a short stack or full stack to get full. Not the case here. However, I have had a crazy order that the owners will probably remember if asked.

I had 8 orders of French Toast, 8 orders of bacon, and 8 orders of scrambled eggs to go. While they had a full house the morning of my order (as they do EVERY morning. ) They didn't complain, they cranked out this order beautifully and with all of the trimmings (powdered sugar, cinnamon sugar, butter, and syrup.) I brought this meal to a group of very critical finicky eaters. They demolished this meal and sent their best to the chef. Who is a great guy who has the most awesome authentic Reebok Pump basketball shoes admired while waiting. I highly recommend this business and will continue to give them my breakfast business in the future. Thank you, Red...
