our favorite place for breakfast. the food is outstanding. The chili verde omelette is so tasty. The service from Alicia is always outstanding. She remembers our orders down to the "dry" toast. How did we get so lucky . We highly recommend this location. read more

I just tried the Avocado Toast WOW the flavors on that were really good it tasted as it looked great!Napoleon was our server and compliments to him kept checking on us if we needed anything. read more

Brandon's Diner - Avocado Toast - Mexican Near Me - Ontario, California

I hope management sees this because there's definitely room for improvement. There was no host when I walked in, and although multiple staff members saw me, no one greeted or acknowledged me. One staff member was on her phone, which didn't leave a great first impression. When I was finally seated, I was immediately asked for my order, which made me feel rushed rather than welcomed. Customer service sets the tone for the entire dining experience, and unfortunately, this visit fell short. read more

January 1, 2026, we decided to go have breakfast at Brandon's Diner on Vineyard in Ontario. We were seated right away and greeted with a smile . So we placed our drink order. Coffee an hot tea. Got the drinks as we were reviewing the menus. Cup that came with the tea had lipstick stain so strike one. Got a replacement cup. Placed our breakfast orders. Got our food and the scrambled eggs were cold, hash browns lukewarm, biscuits and gravy were cold-strike two. The server, Manuel replaced the biscuits and gravy as for the eggs, hubby said he didn't want replacement, and the hash browns were not replaced. So, I get the replaced supposedly hot biscuits and gravy....well....strike three, they too were cold. Let Manuel know this [again] to which he was apologetic. Stated he should find out from the kitchen why the gravy is not coming out hot. He did give us a discount for the inconvenience. The diner had been remolded and we saw a few gross flaws, but overall, it was a nice change. Brandon's Diner has been a "go to" for breakfast, lunch and our group gatherings, but of late, the service and now the food is just not that great anymore. Will we be back, maybe. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

I've Always have had great food at Brandon's. The service is always good. The Buffet is yummy but a little pricey at $27.

Been eating here a long time. NEVER EVER A HAD A BAD MEAL. The food and service is wonderful. They just put in new booths and tables, in this last week. Mighty comfortable I must say. I only gave 4 stars for one little thing. They charge for "soda water". That's wild. Very uncommon to get charged for water with gas. I can't have sugar, and I hate diet soda. So the one beverage, other than coffee, that brings me joy is soda water. Mister or mrs. Manager, please consider giving the patrons of your fine establishment, free water, and free soda water. read more

BRANDON'S DINER is only okay for someone like me, but a solid good for its clientele. This takes explaining and perspective. I've driven cross country many times to the Northeast. Brandon's simply doesn't compete in major cities but is the kind of place you look for in small towns. Locally owned. Real. It's a diner, it's a Mexican restaurant, and it has a successful bar scene Cantina even. Drinks are large, one shot we saw was huge -- it's the little place that could. The food? A mixed bag of okay. But I sense everything is okay. And the prices aren't too high. This is in the Denny's category of dining, which a snob like me would 3 stars at best. But I gave it four stars because ultimately I'm not their customer. The locals are. And they were having a good time in the bar and at the salad bar. This place is like 'home' to the returning customers. I had a generous French Dip sandwich with a large almost swimming pool bow of au jus. It was good, not great, but not bad. My partner in crime had some chili rejenos that were okay but not bad either, and rather light on spice. There's a giant Kaiser nearby. If you're getting on in years, need comfy booths to sit in, lightly seasoned food -- this is worth a try. This isn't a culinary sojourn but a comfort food cantina. I'd be as happy to find this in Oklahoma as I did in Ontario CA. read more

Usually am a regular here and ended up having a few irks today with an encounter. Foods great and the place looks wonderful with the updates however the service is a bit less than what it was. They charged me for my order correctly and then forgot part of it [I am consistent I tend to get a bacon cheese omelette and add avacado.] There's been times where they've forgotten little things like toast and that happens that normal. However charging me extra for only giving me a cheese and avocado omelette while charging me for the other looks bad. On top of this trying to call ahead to place a to go order was met with them hanging up and then taking 10 minutes to be able to place one when I got there. Generally was just a bad experience for that time around but I hope it's a one off. - Note. I confirmed the order with the person at the front twice as we had a mild communication error and she repeated it back. read more

After being MIA for over 2 years it was nice to come back and see the modern updates to the place. Happen to be riding thru and stopped for a drink and was glad to run into familiar faces from back in the days. It's always a great place to grab a drink and food. Great service provided by Alejandra and Maria, was a pleasure running into the Armando, the owner as well. read more

A nice surprise! Happy we tried Brandon's Diner and look forward to going again. I enjoyed the beef dip sandwich, but the thing that amazed us was the appetizer platter. It was enormous! Don't come expecting fine cuisine... this is tasty diner food prepared well and are reasonable prices. Our server was friendly and our order was accurate. The dining area was clean and has room for a fair number of people. I imagine they could accommodate a group of 12-16 if needed. read more

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.

Liked the breakfast/lunch buffet on weekdays. Great selection of American choices like eggs, french toast, bacon, and mexican breakfast, including pozole and menudo. Good service, and food came fast when another party member ordered from not the buffet. Their plate size was big and looked good. Definitely would come again. read more

Food - Good Service - Good Ambiance - Good . We will never go for Sun Day Champagne Brunch Again . I know you pay extra for champagne . You only get 3 small glasses of champagne . But they don't tell you that when you're ordering Brunch they tell you when you're getting a refill . Then She tells me that I have to pay for my Coffee . It's supposed to be free when you order Sunday Buffet . A Big No because I ordered champagne for Brunch Do you believe that . There Sunday buffet isn't exactly that Cheap Plus I'm paying for champagne extra . read more
