    There can't be any us If there can't be any trust  Flautas Dinner from #BrandonsDiner
    Mojo S.

    I love any diner that puts flautas on the menu. It's one of my favorite dishes when you're just hungry and don't want anything overly complex or complicated. It's what I call great grub food. And Brandon's had some delicious flautas. It's just a shame the rice it comes with is so over-loaded with peas and corn. I don't know--when I see rice on the side, I expect it to be rice and nothing but except maybe a little seasoning or sauce. I don't want fried rice and I definitely don't want veggies effing up the rice. It kind of ruined my meal. At least the service was good. Our server was just on the ball and asked just enough to keep aware of when we need anything like refills. The space is kind of smaller compared to the other Brandon's I've been to. But it was still quaint enough and it certainly had enough space for a slow Friday evening. I don't know if this would be the one I go to a lot, but it is definitely the closest. All in all, I liked my meal and, if I'm in the area again, it's nice to have this option somewhat nearby.

    OG breakfast.

    Although it's my first time here, I love it. It reminds me of the restaurants from back in the day. Good food. Good prices. Good service. Solid breakfast. Great coffee too.

    Actual pork chop received

    We have eaten at Brandon's quite a few times. This visit was a disappointment. My mother ordered the chicken Swiss sandwich, my wife ordered the French dip, and I ordered the pork chops. My mom and wife were very happy with their choices. The French dip was extremely tender, and the chicken sandwich made my mother smile. On the other hand, the pork chops were way below expectations. I have never had such thin pork chops served at a restaurant, I'm sure no fault of the cook, but they were extremely dry and tough. Unfortunately, the picture in the menu made the pork chops look very appetizing, in reality not so much. My first choice was the fried chicken, but apparently that's been a discontinued menu item and they have not removed it from the menu. On a sidenote, typically when we go there, we order a salad bar along with our meals. Upon arriving, we were notified they were closing an hour early and the salad bar was closed. I know we will eat there again, but not a chance I will order the pork chops.

    Sausage breakfast burrito loaded... delicious and messy :)

    Food is decent and customer service is okay. However, I recently dined here and ordered a salad bar. When attending the first time i was accosted by a worker, "yanni" who insinuated I was over using the salad bar and taking to go. Do not go here Do better.

    Patty Melt on sourdough
    Melissa A.

    While waiting for our dog to have a procedure done at VCA Ontario, we decided to walk over to Brandon's Diner and we're so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly attentive and welcoming. The service was fast, and the food hit the spot. I ordered the patty melt, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly grilled with gooey cheese and flavorful meat. A comforting meal during a stressful day, and a spot we'll definitely return to when visiting the area.

    Fresh coffee

    Conveniently located right off the 60 FWY off Vineyard Ave near Carl's Jr. with plenty of parking. I've been to Brandon's, but their Riverside location, so I wanted to try Ontario as I'm a fan of their food. We stopped here this Saturday morning for breakfast. It was busy, but we were seated immediately. The menu consists of different types of food such as breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, burritos, salads, dinner plates, and more. They also have an 'All-You-Can-Eat' buffet on Saturday & Sunday. I had their 'Mixed Berries Crepes' combo with a 'coffee' and side of 'home fries'. Everything tasted amazing with fresh ingredients and a great presentation. The coffee was freshly brewed and very satisfying. Portions are generous, and prices are fair. Service was fast and efficient. Shout out to our server 'Jenesiz', who was extremely attentive and welcoming. I was really impressed with her service. She made sure we had an enjoyable meal. The restaurant is clean and organized with an additional side as 'Cantina' bar with happy hour from 3pm-7pm daily. The restrooms were also very clean during our visit. Overall, we had a great experience at this location and will definitely return.

    (I blacked out the servers name because she didn't do anything wrong and I wanted to keep her name confidential)

    They charged me $3.75 for a side of ranch. Food was mediocre. The funny part is last time I bought take out the ranch was free.

For my entrées, I ordered the Rack of New Zealand Lamb and the 12-ounce Tajima Australian Wagyu Ribeye. Both were cooked to perfection and were delicious! I will say that this is definitely a little on the pricey side, especially since we weren't celebrating anything special, we simply came out for dinner. But overall, I thought it was worth trying, and I really enjoyed the secluded, private atmosphere. It felt like such a nice little escape. Honestly, take a first date here!
