    Erika charged us for someone else's order
    Amy C.

    Been going here for 10+ and have never had a bad experience. Today our server Erika, took our order, dropped off the food and never checked on us. There was random bread in between my tray and food paper, couldn't tell her because she wouldn't stop for us, AND SHE CHARGED OUR CARD FOR NOT ONLY OUR CHECK, BUT ANOTHER TABLES CHECK TOO. When we politely asked about it she gave attitude and said "so what do you want? The cash or back on the card?" I just didn't want to be charged for someone else's food?

    Recieved great service and prices were reasonable. Ordered the breakfast special that ends at 11am. It came with 2 eggs, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy for $8.99.

    The service is very inviting and a wide range of menu items to choose from. The food portion size are huge so come hungry. However if you have to reduce salted foods I would recommend not having the pastrami sandwich which we had as take out to bring home. As for the French fries they are amazing! This diner is a must for service, quality, variety, and portion size. Definitely returning soon!

    There are worse places to eat in Moreno Valley. Of course, there are better - but the inventory of restaurants in MoVal is still pretty grim. So you may end up at Brandon's. The neighborhood leaves a lot to be desired. It shares a parking lot with a motel that has hopefully seen better days because in the present day it's pretty sketch. But if you can get past that, you can find a decent breakfast at Brandon's. I had the Breakfast Quesadilla with Grilled Flour Tortilla With Scrambled Eggs, Potatoes, Cheese, Guacamole & Sour Cream. It was enormous and not bad. My friend had one of the "skillets" (not served in a skillet by the way). It was also enormous and OK. The coffee was decent and the service fast and efficient. It does appear they have a liquor license so if you are a little stressed by anything you saw in the parking lot, you can get a Mimosa. And prices are very reasonable for the huge portions. I would do this location of this small chain again, but it wouldn't be a top choice.

    Mimosas at Brandons Diner Moreno Valley! Come and get you one of these  Thank you so much Erika for your hospitality

    Amazing diner spot for you and your companions and family!! My cousin and I always meet here for brunch and mimosas! Never leave disappointed!! Thank you again Ms Erika!!!

    Chicken fajitas and waffle
    Obeyy P.

    Visited this location with the family for the first time and it was a great experience. The waitress was very polite and welcoming. She always checked on us and constantly asked if we needed refills and refilled my coffee every time as needed. I ordered the chicken fajitas which were very delicious and juicy. The vegetables were grilled perfectly and the chicken had so much flavor. My wife ordered chicken and waffles and she loved them very much ! The music and the art on the walls are beautiful. We had a great time eating here and we will definitely come back again.

    Chile verde breakfast plate

    Ordered carne asada fries, Chile verde fries, and Chile verde breakfast plate along with two flights of mimosas (multiple flavors to choose from). Food was fantastic, service was great even though the place was packed. Definitely recommended this spot.

    Bacon and 2 Eggs Plate Hash Browns Tomatoes
    Karen G.

    Food was delicious and there was plenty! Coffee was hot and the servers checked on you frequently! They were awesome!! The restaurant is a true diner with full menu being available all day! Pastries and desserts are available too. By the crowd in there on a Friday morning, this is a great place to be!

    Chicken and waffles. Upgraded Belgin waffle with strawberries, sweet cream cheese and whipped cream

My ordered double dipped Big Beef Sandwich with Sweet Bell Peppers, melted Mozzarella Cheese, and Giardiniera was enormous, and after initially having my breath knocked away by the Giardiniera's overwhelming spiciness, my intestines soon settled down and I greatly enjoyed the melting concoction. The hoagie roll supporting this mammoth edifice of tender roast beef and embellishments nicely sopped up the au jus, and sank under the heat. The Chicago Dog that accompanied the Big Beef was a classic all-beef Hot Dog with a snap, rounded out with Emerald Green Relish, White Onions, Sport Peppers, and Yellow Mustard. For purists no ketchup is allowed on Chicago Dogs! Crinkle-cut French Fries added to my enjoyment of the meal. Diane liked her Fish Sandwich with a slice of American Cheese, and was especially fond of the Cheese Sauce into which she dipped her Fries.

Unfortunately, the food didn't live up to the atmosphere. I ordered the chili dog and fries, and for the price, I expected much better. The chili was thin and watery, lacking the hearty, meaty flavor you'd expect. It tasted more like a budget canned chili than something made fresh in-house. The hot dog itself was just okay--nothing memorable and certainly not something I would return for. Given my experience, I'm surprised by the current four-star rating. The restaurant looks great, but the food didn't match the presentation or the hype. I would recommend managing expectations before visiting. In my opinion, it's simply not as good as it looks.

Because of that, she decided to just order a standard meal and plan to take it home. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and requested a little extra dressing on the side. When the food arrived, it was actually very good--the salad was tasty and they were plenty generous with the chicken. However, the issue came when we got the bill. I noticed a $2.25 charge just for the extra side of dressing. My complaint isn't necessarily that there *is* a charge, but rather that it wasn't stated beforehand. There was no mention of it when ordering, and in my opinion, $2.25 for a simple side of Caesar dressing is excessive. We finished our meal and left, but between the heavy substitution fees and the surprise dressing charge, the customer service policy here feels a bit nickle-and-dime. Good food, but transparency on their pricing could definitely be improved.
