Friday reviews favor the West Valley

For this week's reviews, we get a diverse pair of West Valley restaurants -- Bento Box Japanese Grill in Ontario and Jim's World Famous Charbroiled Hamburgers in Upland.

Elaine Lehman follows the Ontario police to the Bento Box Japanese Grill (2910 S. Archibald Ave., Suite C) and enjoys their "affordable," "delicious" food.

You can check out her review here.

Let's Dine Out Show's Allan Borgen, on the other hand, visits Jim's World Famous Charbroiled Hamburgers (969 W. Foothill Blvd.), which offers much more than just burgers.

Allan mentions the following menu items: chicken fried steak and eggs; Western omelette; pastrami sandwich; fried chicken; pastrami, chili and cheese burrito; Polish sausage sandwich; shakes; and pancakes.

I guess they're called Jim's World Famous Charbroiled Hamburgers because Jim's World Famous Charbroiled Hamburgers, Chicken Fried Steak and Eggs, Western Omelettes, Pastrami Sandwiches, Fried Chicken, Pastrami, Chili and Cheese Burritos, Polish Sausage Sandwiches, Shakes and Pancakes just wouldn't fit on the sign.

Or perhaps because only their burgers are world famous.

Whatever the case, Allan gives them four out of five stars...not bad.

Jim's is legendary...I remember my uncle talking about them being one of his haunts back when he was working for Caltrans.

I've been there before, but not for a long, long time. I think it might be time for a return trip.
