Sycamore Inn Prime Steak House
 

The Sycamore Inn Prime Steak House

This historic treasure, built in 1848, is Rancho Cucamonga’s oldest dinner house and a favorite among locals and visitors when it comes to fine dining. Originally used as a tavern and inn for weary travelers, the Sycamore Inn has enjoyed a fascinating history over the years. During the 1900’s the old dirt road that fronted the Inn became the fabled Route 66, a primary route from points east to the Pacific Ocean. During the colorful years of the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s, the Inn hosted the rich and famous...movie stars and notables…en route to Las Vegas and Palm Springs. Today, the Sycamore Inn serves patrons a delicious variety of steak, fish, and chicken entrees sure to please any palate. The Sycamore Inn’s signature prime rib — aged, slow-roasted, and hand-carved — is a winner!
