Crowded and a great place to eat, have a beer , and hang out with friends. Show up early to make sure you get a spot big enough for all your friends.

Don Michael Antonio

Serves up some of the juicest and tasty burgers in the Inland Empire!Not to mention the huge craft beer list and wine too!Oh and twice fried duck fat fries out of this world. Rib-eye also da bomb!

Kathy Hatcher

Outside seating dog friendly . The fries are fried in duck fat and are so addictive. I made the mistake of giving some to my dogs now I can't walk past there without them pulling me to grab a table.

it's all about the Back Abbey Burger . man oh man.. ok, i LOVE in-n-out, but this place is a close second.. just because it's gourmet.. AND.. because of the beers , which are all magically delicious! :D

Ryan Lara

What isn't to like? Great beer selection . The Back Abby Burger is top-notch. I recommend getting a pretzel as an appetizer . The mussels are delicious too!

Ryan Y

The Belgian beer selection here is ridiculous-if you can't find your favorite Belgian here, you need to book a flight to Brussels. If you're not a fan of Belgian beers you'll need to drink elsewhere.

Mario Estrada

One of my favorite places on the area. Well stocked Belgian beer selection . The absolute best Belgian style fries . Cannot go wrong with anything here.

Angelise Slifkin

Good, for Claremont standards-great. Menu is a little small for the quality of the food, but the service and food is consistent. Nice atmosphere. Large beer selection - best in Claremont.

Megan Giles

By far the best beer bar in the area, with amazing pub style food to match. Don't know what beers to try? Ask the bartenders , they know each of them by heart. A.J.'s the best 'tender there!

Rachel K

Not a great vegetarian food selection (gotta go with their seasonal salad or the pretzel ). The Belgium beer selection is amazing though.

Mike Gwaltney

Portobello Mushroom burger is a truly delicious alternative to the usual bad garden burgers for vegetarians . And the Pommes Frites rock! But take note vegetarians : they're fried in duck fat .

Rosa Jimenez

Well -- everyone knows that The Back Abbey is do good. If you're ever around the area, definitely stop by and give it try!

Rayshawn Williams

A few words to describe the Back Abbey burger...sweet, zesty and savory. Awesome combination of flavors.

Mike Gaumer

The Pomme Frittes are out of this world

Nina Nirema

Best place to eat in the Village . Takes no reservations , but so worth it. Dine outside if you can! Belgian beer + best burger ever = perfect.

Discover Claremont (Calif.)

The Back Abbey has a selection of over 110 different beers from around the world, including 28 on tap and a full menu. CBS2 featured their Back Abbey burger among the "best in L.A."

Mimi Nguyen

Awesome beer selection but I always come back for the duck fat fries ! Duck fat is healthiest fat you can fry with and the fries are delicious :)

Zachariah Cooney

St Bernadas pairs well with The Back Abbey burger ... excellent food with excellent Belgian Ale imports!!!! They don't have Bud Light obviously....

Rebecca M

Fries . And the frisée salad will help you feel better about yourself after you eat the fries . Sort of.

Rayshawn Williams

The mussels are great with a beer . Very flavorful in a lemon butter sauce .

Julian Nam

Burger is good. No, it's great. No, it's awesome. And a TON of beer options . Thumbs up from me.

Melvin Pérez-Cedano

A glass of Kwak, backyard burger and half-order of fries . All good.

Michael Antonio

Back Abby burger , half order of fries , then finish off with some beignets . Can't go wrong here!!

Mario Estrada

Love the burgers here and amazing frites . The best Belgian beer selection in the area.

Lawrence T

Great burgers and fries , awesome beer selection , and one of few places to find St. Bernardus Abt. 12 on tap !

Andrea W

great beer , great staff , great food. the pommes friets are amazing, but I like to check out their seasonal specials . In the fall the drunken spud soup , and the man salad are excellent.

Annie Lee

Best gourmet burgers ! Must try Belgium white Blanche de Bruxelles beer !

Now, for all of the microbiologists out there, this is your final, after you defend your dissertation.

Benson Bleier

Burgers are worse than Eureka but fries are some of the best I've had; they're fried in duck fat !

Vanessa Castaneda

Delicious! The Back Abbey burger is worth it.

Elizabeth Suh

The back abbey burger is the best I've had. So flavorful. Better than umami burger. Get the fries ! It's double fried in duck fat .

John Mather

The abbey burger fries and mussels are definitely the best we've had in a long time.

Sylvia Villalobos

BEER !!!! FRIES!!! = AMAZING. Also, the veggie burger was great. Fun and chill atmosphere. Younger crowd

Dwain McArthur

Filet and steak salad were "off-the-chain!" Staff is AWESOME !

Robert Klein

One of my favorite bars for Belgium beer . Famous for their 'Back Abbey burger ', 2nd best burger in LA area. Don't forget to try the Pommes Frites Read more

Amanda Sawtell

Belgian beer selection is amazing here.

Annie Jones

Sit outside - get the crab cakes on appetizer menu - fabulous!!!

William Choi

The Back Abbey burger is the best in town . Fries are worth the health consequences. Amazing beer selection .

Jim Wyatt

Great beer selection , fun open seating and great food.

Darren Isomoto

On a Saturday night, they can easily seat 2-4. Any more is a longer wait (1 hr for our party of 7)

g oconnor

Small kitchen, big results!

✌Maryanne Diaz

Medium rare is the only way to eat a burger ! I recommend the Straffe Hendrik to wash that burger and frites down!

g oconnor

Plough your way through this delight!

Burger and fries night not be worth $19. But it is really damn good. No question. I'm sorry it took me soo long.

Jordan Sielaff

Burger , beer , and duck fat fries ...very good!

Jenni Rutledge

The fries are super amazing but they are fried with duck fat...beware vegetarians

Cristina Aguilera

The Man Salad doesn't actually come with a man, The Pub Salad was a pretty good substitute along with the Country Tomato Soup .

Kaye Reshaw

Get there early for lunch . No bad choices on the food
