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.

Juana's Super Deluxe Cheeseburger and French Fries
Mark N.

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!!!

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 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
Shannon G.

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.

I finally made it back to my hometown and had to stop by Portillo's in Moreno Valley again!!!!…read more This was the first time I decided to try their burgers and boy I'm glad I did because I've definitely been missing out. The char-grilled burgers were cooked perfectly--juicy, flavorful, and loaded with fresh toppings. The Italian beef sandwich was tender, juicy, and even better with the hot and spicy peppers that added the perfect kick. The French fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned with just the right amount of salt. And if you're ordering fries, the cheese sauce is a must--it takes them to the next level! Daughter had the Chopped Salad with spicy chicken, and it was fresh, crisp, and packed with flavor. The spicy chicken added just the right amount of heat without overpowering the salad. The portions were generous, the food came out fresh, and the staff was friendly. If you're looking for delicious burgers, amazing Italian beef sandwiches, crispy fries with cheese sauce, and a fresh, satisfying salad, Portillo's in Moreno Valley is definitely worth a visit!

Drove all the way from Beaumont to try Portillo's for the first time as I heard they use Vienna…read moreBeef hot dogs with a nice snap to them. I ordered the chili dog with onions and got a side of nacho type cheese to dip it in and for the Fries...... Not bad overall, but the chili had BEANS in it and was too watery. It needs to be THICK like at Tommy's and Cupid's. The fries were no big deal. Speedy service, as the inside was just about empty on Thursday around 3 p.m. How about selling just the raw dogs so we can take them home and make our own? These were not anywhere near as good as Cupid's in the San Fernando Valley on Winnetka.....which has been the gold standard for decades!!

The vibe is warm and relaxed, like you're eating at someone's kitchen table instead of a restaurant. The staff is incredibly welcoming and attentive, which honestly makes the experience even better. You can tell they care about their customers. The breakfast is really good, with very nice portion sizes that actually fill you up. And the best part? It's affordable. You get quality food, generous plates, and great service without feeling like you overspent. Definitely a spot I'd recommend if you want a laid back, cozy breakfast with good food and good energy.

My wife and I stopped in for lunch today. While looking over the menu, my wife became a bit…read morediscouraged when she noticed that any substitutions or added items came with a pretty significant upcharge. 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.
