Connal's Burgers Salads & Subs

Stepping into Connal's Burgers Salads & Subs is like opening a well-loved scrapbook filled with comforting memories of casual meals and easy laughter. Nestled on a quiet stretch of W 7th Street in Upland, this unpretentious spot carries a nostalgic 1950s diner charm—but one that’s alive with the kind of warm, familiar energy you don’t find in every neighborhood. The pace here invites you to slow down just enough to savor good food and good company without rushing.

The atmosphere is relaxed and unhurried, where the hum of friendly conversations mingles with the sizzle from the kitchen. The counter and booths encourage lingering, whether you’re catching up with an old friend or simply stealing a moment for yourself. There’s a distinct feeling that every plate served springs from a straightforward love of classic flavors done well—no frills, just honest comfort.

Connal’s menu echoes this ethos with hearty portions and familiar favorites that feel thoughtfully prepared rather than overdone. The mix of robust burgers—from a smoky pastrami-topped creation to one crowned with creamy avocado—pairs beautifully with hand-cut fries, onion rings, or crispy zucchini fries served alongside a house-made ranch dip. Beyond the burgers, the kitchen quietly shines with diner staples for breakfast or any time of day, offering selections that invite you to savor every bite as if it were a small celebration of simple pleasures.

The vibe inside leans into a timeless throwback, yet feels freshly welcoming, clean, and earnest. It’s the kind of place where kindness and quick smiles are part of the recipe, creating a small, steady rhythm that works like a comforting backdrop to your meal. Whether you’re stopping by for a meal or settling in for a long chat over a peanut butter and banana hand-scooped milkshake, Connal’s quietly reminds you why some local spots linger in your mind long after you’ve left.
