Hilltop Jamaica Restaurant & Lounge Pomona

Island Food, Pomona Roots, SoCal Reach

Hilltop Jamaican has been feeding Pomona since 1993, one plate of Famous Oxtails, one freshly made patty at a time. What started as a neighborhood spot in downtown Pomona has become a destination for Jamaican food lovers across Southern California. Today, customers drive from LA County, Riverside County, and even San Diego County to get a taste of what Hilltop is cooking. Located right in the heart of the greater Los Angeles area, Hilltop brings the flavors of Jamaica to one of the most diverse food scenes in the country. Whether it's the jerk chicken, the curry goat, or the oxtails that keep people coming back, the secret is simple: everything is made from scratch with real ingredients and bold seasoning. No shortcuts, no compromises, just 32 years of authentic Jamaican cooking that speaks for itself. Hilltop is more than a restaurant. It's a gathering place for the community, a reminder of home for those who miss the islands, and a discovery for anyone tasting real Jamaican food for the first time. Pull up a seat, you're part of the family now.

Rooted in Downtown Pomona

Hilltop opened on West Second Street over 32 years ago and has been a steady, familiar presence for regulars across the Inland Empire ever since.

The Food Comes First

Braised oxtails, fragrant curry goat, Caribbean red snapper brown stew, escovitch, or steamed to order — nothing here is rushed, and you can taste the difference.

Mama's Patties

Made in-house in four flavors — beef, jerk chicken, curry chicken, and veggie — Mama's Patties are a brand within a brand, distributed well beyond the restaurant's four walls.

A Gathering Place

Birthdays, Sunday brunch with ackee and saltfish, mimosa flights, and live music — Hilltop is the Caribbean lounge vibe you won't find anywhere else in the Inland Empire.

Beyond the Dining Room

From full pans of jerk salmon and curry shrimp to coconut scallops, Hilltop's catering program brings the kitchen to celebrations and events across the region.
