The Back Abbey - Claremont: A Belgian-Inspired Gastropub Experience

We were there Saturday 1pm. We sat in patio in hot summer day. The patio is very nice with nice breeze. Food was excellent with brunch menu. Everyone likes the food and good service.

Great burgers, nice fries, and prices were about right. Had the lamb burger and the alley burger - both great! I wish I could come up here a couple more time to try the rest of their burgers. That being said, these burgers could be an easily 10/10 if they filled them more with thicker meat and/or toppings. It felt like the burgers were missing a bit to match the circumference vibe they gave. Maybe im just overthinking lol

Found this restaurant driving through from Las Vegas. The breakfast Abbey burger was quality flavor and great flavor. Not a fan of brioche buns but it was still good. This waffle and chicken sandwich though, wow. That one was absolutely amazing. Came with a hot honey syrup that added a perfect amount of sweetness. The duck fat fries were also a perfect crispness and flavor, the different dipping sauces were also great.

2 people... We had a few high quality beers on tap from Belgium. Every beer comes with its named glass. Food is excellent and drinks are some of the best I had at a gastropub. If anyone loves Belgian and German beers check this place out. It's the only place I found on the West Coast with a large selection of Trappist ales so far. Btw all fried food is fried in duck fat; NO SEED OILS HERE (HEALTHY)!

Lots of greats drinks and food! They have German and Belgian imported beers, my friends think it's worth the drive from LA to get them. The duck fat fries are really amazing, the dipping sauces are on another level, so good. Service was awesome. The servers were very kind and food/drinks came out very quick.

Came here for a second dinner/late night kinda vibe and it was great! A fun german vibe, live music.... fun german beers, great frites, and beignets. I'd honestly just come back and hang out just to have more frites and a beer. It can get a little busy but they have outdoor seating as well if you just bring a jacket.

I had the pleasure of dining at The Back Abbey and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. The first thing I noticed was the cleanliness and tidiness of the establishment. It’s clear that the staff takes pride in maintaining a spotless environment, which is always a great first impression. Speaking of the staff, they were exceptionally nice and attentive throughout my visit. From the moment I walked in, I was greeted warmly and felt genuinely welcomed. The service was prompt, and they made sure to check in regularly without being intrusive. Now, let’s talk about the burgers – they are nothing short of phenomenal. Each bite was a delightful explosion of flavors, perfectly cooked and seasoned. The quality of the ingredients was evident, and the variety of options ensured we had choices. The drinks were equally impressive, complementing the meal perfectly with a great selection to choose from. Overall, my experience at The Back Abbey was fantastic. The combination of a clean and inviting atmosphere, excellent service, and top-notch food makes this a place I’ll definitely be returning to. Highly recommended for any burger lover!
