OG breakfast.
Violet S.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.

Super cool breakfast spot! Service was on point and the food was a lot! I got a veggie omelette and hash browns, it came with biscuits and gravy. Plus a coffee. A nice hole in the wall place to get brunch and hang out.

You get large portions and worth the price IMO. The food came out in lightening speed ! Which was shocking and loved how fast we were able to eat. The only negative thing I can say about their new place is the service. The service was great but they interrupted our meal several times and I felt like we couldn't take a breath to enjoy the food. The server kept asking if we were ok but we barely got our food and we were asked several times while trying to enjoy it. Also the photographer just coming up to use while we ate. We literally took pics with food in our mouths. Everything seemed so rushed. With all the times we were asked if we were okay or needed anything no server came with a pitcher of water to refill our cups. None of them asked about our drinks either. I will be back but maybe in the day time and not the evening time. ( to see if it will be different) the owner or manager needs to tell staff to kind of chill on asking people if they are ok especially when we barely got our food and interrupted several times during the meal. Let people eat and enjoy it for a little bit before being asked like every 5 mins lol

I went with the al pastor, and it was excellent. The pork had that perfect balance -- juicy with crispy edges, seasoned beautifully, and just enough sweet pineapple to make it sing. The salsa is actually hot. They packed that burrito with more meat than a gym bro's meal prep Sunday. I genuinely paused mid-bite out of respect. Price felt totally reasonable for the portion and quality. If you're cruising by on the freeway or in the neighborhood and want well seasoned, authentic tacos, this is absolutely worth the stop. No red flags, just red salsa. And I'll be back.

This is a Peruvian restaurant just down the street from the Kaiser Permanente Ontario. The…read morerestaurant is smaller but can accommodate larger groups. The dining area is a very clean and comfortable. Once seated, an aji verde salsa and cancha was brought to the table. The cancha is a nice touch, the corn is crispy and light. I ordered the Pollo Saltado with an extra portion of rice and a Chicha Morada. The beverage was very refreshing. The meal came out quickly. The chicken was tender and well seasoned with soy without being too salty. There was a fair amount of onions and tomatoes which were stir-fried along with the meat. The fries were freshly made with a light crispy exterior and creamy interior to soak up the saltado sauce. The aji verde salsa was on the spicy side but tasted good as an accompaniment to the dish. There was plenty of sauce from the stir fry for the extra portion of rice I ordered. I plan on ordering the Lomo Saltado next time. The staff were polite and efficient. Plenty of parking in their lot. Definitely on the list for the next time I am in the area.

Better than any other place I have tried this dish at. Perfect blend of each ingredient. The sweet then spicy chiles that come on the side compliment this meal. Add the green sauce they serve and you have a fire worth fighting. I definitely recommend this dish if you stop by here. Tallarin verde con lomo- the lomo was delicious but the pasta was a little too harsh on the pesto. Still good though. Menu is limited but if you're into lomo you should give this place a try. They take good care of everyone that comes in. Small little spot that has calm energy and good vibes. Not a lot of space but a lot of flavor that will bring you back.
