Redlands Public Market — Restaurant in Redlands

Below is a review of every single vendor except the Redlands Natural Market nor the bars. It is a comprehensive review of every single place. I will update my review once the Hawaiian, Sushi, and Ice cream place opens. Overall, this is a great addition to Redlands and is an amazing place to take guests to. There’s a good variety of selections. It is a bit on the pricier side but is worth it because of the novelty and atmosphere. My favorite pick is Baba’s hot chicken followed closely by Take Ur Seat.

Redlands public market [ ] Take ur seat. Good rendaang and longanisa. We like the jasmine milk tea [ ] Babas hot chicken. Fries are good. Chicken is big. Hot level not very hot. Bun is sweet and good. Chicken sandwich is 8/10. Comes w/ drink at $20. Very filling [ ] Taco twist. Burrito form for Indian food not very good. Dislike the tomatoes and lettuce on burritos. The bowl is a much better offering. [ ] Crepes de Paris. Sweets were really good. strawberry banana and Nutella is a classic. [ ] Tsoko ube. Not very good. More chocolate than anything else. Get the simpler drinks. The ones that have too much going on don’t taste as well altogether. [ ] Nosy neighbors coffee. It’s an OK americano. Up charged $0.75 for medium and making it iced. No dedicated working space. Only outside space. Strawberry matcha is pretty good but expensive [ ] Jojo’s Taiwanese eats. Pork belly was pretty good. Smaller serving size but rivals Take Ur Seat. [ ] Cornerstone bbq. Really good fries. Delicious brisket. Good spicy sauce. Not too spicy. The pulled pork is mediocre. Candied isn’t good. Small amount of food for price. [ ] Nava sausage co. Good bread and hotdog. With onions and honey mustard is good. Can get you full for $12. Lots of sausage options [ ] Fufu Mediterranean. Got beef kabob plate. Hummus and naan is really good. But beef and rice are kinda bland. Garlic sauce makes it better. $22 [ ] Hen and heifer. Blue burger and fries. No water cups given?? Fries are plentiful. Burger is good. Fresh onion and patty is good. Fries could be a bit crunchier but overall tasty. [ ] Pizza. The dough is nice and thin. Cheese and carnivore are tasty. Perfect amount of saltiness and savory. Cheese pizza is similar to Costco albeit a thinner dough. [ ] Fred’s tacos. Really good green sauce. Meat is a little too moist. I’d like more crunch. Rice and lime is good. Got the burrito. The plates are likely a better offering to isolate the flavors.

Overall a fun experience...

We visited this place for the second time tonight and this time we brought our furry bestie. We arrived to the place around 8:30 pm and there were a gentleman (didn’t obtain the name and learned later on that he’s the manager) and a woman (who is a security guard, assuming from the uniform she wore), stood by one of the entrance stairs. We walked past them with our dog and noticed all the chairs in the patio were locked and they DID NOT say a word to inform us that the outdoor area is closed for the day and they were busy chatting (which I guess chatting with security is more important that notify confused customers). So I asked one of the food court restaurants employee about the sitting situation since we have a dog and we can’t bring her in. He was very kind and apologetic about the chairs being locked way before closing time (at 10 pm). So ‘the manager and security guard’ stepped in and tried to justify why the chairs were locked “because logistically doesn’t make sense to have the patio open when it’s a slow night”. I would understand that if it was near closing time and I suggested maybe leave a small patio area open at least instead of the whole area closed, as my feedback. But ‘the manager and security guard’ got some sour attitudes and basically not going to accommodate us. I feel belittled by the way they talk and attitude and it is a shame that this place has a very good potential and cute place for hanging out.

Nevertheless, we won’t be coming anymore with or without our furry baby. Big shame on...

A pretty cool communal gathering space near downtown Redlands. There’s plenty of covered outdoor seating and a lot of space inside as well, even though it gets super busy! Inside you’ll find coffee, tea, pizza, bbq, health food, burgers, Taiwanese dishes, hot sauce for sale, Indian food in tacos, and a couple of bars.

There’s such a wide range of stuff here—and a lot of it is fairly creative—making Redlands Public Market a place that can cater to people with any taste or preference. I really enjoyed the Filipino traditional black coffee, the pizza, and the chicken tikka masala tacos I had. It’s slightly pricey, but it’s also a hip new experience, and, well, inflation or course.

I recommend checking it out, though, whether with friends or family, as there’s definitely something for everyone. Try out Tacotwist, Supernova Pizza, Conerstone BBQ, or JoJo’s Kitchen. A great place for a weekend to catch a vibe, or even take someone on a date for something low key where you’re sure to find food that whets...
