New restaurants coming to San Bernardino, Upland and Redlands
San Bernardino is getting another Rally’s drivethru.
The new location was spotted in the north side of town, where the former
Faith Ministry church once stood, 170 E. 40th St.
The building that once housed the church was razed a couple of years ago.
Two other locations (494 S. Mount Vernon Ave. and 1150 N. Waterman Ave.) are currently operating in the city and we’re still waiting for a former ’90sera Rally’s at 996 W. Highland Ave. to reopen.
New ‘que in Upland
Jim Bone’s, a barbecue catering company, looks to be opening a brickand-mortar restaurant in downtown Upland.
Signage is up at the building at 251 N. Second Ave., indicating the restaurant is coming soon.
Thanks to former coworker Mitch for spotting Jim Bone’s and letting us know via email.
Bar and grill coming to Redlands
A former Redlands sushi restaurant is becoming a bar and grill.
The former Sushi Kimo, 501 W. Redlands Blvd, Suite K, is becoming Henry’s Bar & Grill.
According to signage up at the location, Henry’s offers wings, burgers, tacos and craft beer.
Henry’s currently has a location at 68955 Ramon Road, Suite 7, Cathedral City.
Pajamas and charity
Bruster’s Ice Cream in Rancho Cucamonga is hosting its annual PJ Day fundraiser on Saturday, March 4.
On that day, customers who show up wearing pajamas can receive a waffle cone for just $1.
Proceeds will benefit Hope Through Housing, an organization that offers services for those living in affordable housing communities.
The shop is making a day of it, with an opportunity to meet Stryker, the mascot from the Empire Strykers indoor soccer team from 3-6 p.m. and get autographs from a pair of Strykers players from 4-6 p.m.
Bruster’s is also hosting an ice cream eating contest at 5 p.m., with the chance to win a gift card. Signups for the contest can be made by visiting a link in the location’s Instagram bio at www.instagram.com/brusters_ranchocucamonga.
Bruster’s is at 10570 Foothill Blvd., Suite 100.
A kids’ meal first
Baker’s Drive-Thru has introduced its first-ever kids’ meal.
The meal includes an entrée, French fries or applesauce, and either a fountain drink or juice box.
Entrées include tacos, cheeseburgers and grilled cheese sandwiches.
However, the real appeal of the meal appears to be a sticker pack designed by Riverside-based artist Richie Velazquez, who creates under the moniker Deladeso.
The five stickers depict a burger, taco, French fries, habanero spicy ketchup and the Baker’s logo, all rendered in Velazquez’ style. Pricing starts at $3.89.
California cheese class
Tickets are available now for an upcoming California cheese class at the Cheese Cave in Claremont.
Cheesemonger Ashley Twogood will discuss the state’s dairy and cheese history and will offer tastes of some of the shop’s favorite California creameries paired with California wines.
Attendees must be 21 or older.
Tickets — available on Eventbrite — are $75, with additional wine pours available for purchase.
The class is set for
1-2:30 p.m. Saturday, March 11 at the Cheese Cave, 325 Yale Ave.
On the move
If you’re looking for Najwa’s Mediterranean Cuisine at its old standalone location in Loma Linda, it’s gone.
The restaurant has moved, combining with Angelo’s Italian Restaurant, 11275 Mountain View Ave., Suite D, Loma Linda.
Thanks to reader Joan, who emailed us about the move and also noted that the food was as good as it was at the old location.
