We heard that this place was out of the way in Chino Hills by the airport. Well everyone knows it’s here now and it’s was worth the 30 min wait. You won’t go hunger here! The chicken fried steak with biscuits and gravy are the real deal. The hash , eggs with biscuits and gravy with real homemade salsa was really tasty. Come here hungry!

Flo's has consistently been one of our favorite restaurants. Their biscuits and gravy are second to none. I order crispy bacon at restaurants all the time and it still usually comes either flabby or burnt. Here, it is perfect. They have a secret! We loved our breakfast once again today.

Very good service and very good food. Would definitely recommend this place for breakfast. Had eggs, biscuits and gravy. The bacon and sausage was excellent and the coffee was nice and strong. Love the history look in this place gives you a very old school diner type vibes. Also it's right by the airport so you see small planes. Would definitely recommend this place its a must try if you are in the area and if you areva local I'm sure it's already your go too spot.

My parents used to take us here in the 80s when we were kids. Fast forward.. Our son was home for the holidays on leave from Air Force. Picked him up from Ontario airport and drove to Chino airport (22 minutes) for Flo's. Everyone had a great experience food still just as good. Biscuits and gravy a must try.

The patty melt was delicious! The BBQ burger was pretty good and we heard no complaints about the Reuben. Fries are nicely seasoned. Good service. The restaurant is a little bit of a taxi. You do get to go by some cool aircraft though. ATC was friendly and extremely helpful.
