Claremont's gathering place since 1957
In late August 2024, a devastating fire forced Walter's to close its doors. Two years and a couple of months later, through perseverance, help from our friends in the city, and the incredible support of our loving community, we reopened on October 14, 2026.
Since 1957, Walter's Restaurant & Bar has been a gathering place for Claremont. We have restored and refreshed Walter's while preserving the character, traditions, and hospitality our guests know and love, and we can't wait to reconnect with longtime friends and welcome new faces.
We are opening in phases. Hours, seating areas, and menu items will keep growing each week until we are back to full capacity.
Afghan classics, kabobs, steaks, seafood, pasta, and pizza, made fresh in house.
Our new bar and lounge: cocktails, wine, and late nights, Thursday through Sunday until 1:30am.
Weddings, birthdays, and business dinners in the Afghan Room, VIP Room, Cottage, and our patios.
310 N Yale Ave, Claremont, CA 91711
Like some grand hotel lobby, Walter's Restaurant has been a centerpiece to the Claremont community for two generations.
Walter's is my favorite restaurant in Claremont. It's also a first choice among friends when we're choosing a place to gather for breakfast or lunch.
Everything about this restaurant is appealing. The staff and owners are amazing as is the food and ambience. A real favorite of my family and friends!
50 year anniversary this month and it is still the best place in Claremont for any meal.
Brunch on the patio, dinner in the lounge, or a nightcap at the bar. We would love to see you.
