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!

Review is for brunch only. Hospitality was friendly however a couple of drinks were forgotten and went long stretches without seeing our server. French toast was very dense and sweet. Small portion but tough to finish. Avocado toast was very sad, unseasoned and came with one half raw- half roasted tomato see photo. Best thing we had were the potatoes. Deep fried and battered deliciousness. Eggs were cooked perfectly, but everything was unseasoned. Not under seasoned, but literally not a bit of salt on the eggs or avocado. Worst thing we ordered were the biscuits. They were so dense to the point of we wondered if they were still raw dough in the middle. Didn’t work as part of the benny. The biscuit side also was supposed to come with lingonberry jam but instead came with syrup. Especially at this high price I wouldn’t return.

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.

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.

We waited for more than half an hour for our lunch, not acceptable. The kitchen is small but the wait was too long. The food was average – greasy. The tables were sticky and the floors were greasy. The aircon inside wasn’t cool enough, better to a it outside. Oh and sitting outside usnt nixe cause the building next door has it’s laundry vent spewing out hot air directly onto diners.

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.

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.

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)!

The hidden gem of the Claremont Village. The most excellent beer selection, great food and wonderful atmosphere. Staff is really friendly and helpful as well as knowledgeable about what they serve. Food quality is excellent and worth the price. There is street parking and a multilevel parking structure nearby. The dining area is dim and cool feel and the patio is nice.
