We have been coming to Brandon's for years. The menu is not restrictive. You get.... Choices!!! They have weekday specials and a senior menu (Available Monday to Friday). I can ask that my French Toast be extra crispy ( I like the crunch) or that my chorizo be cooked separately and served on the side. I LOVE that. If there is a problem, which does not happen frequently, (Hey, stuff happens!) they fix it, no problem. All in all, we love Brandon's! read more

First time to this location. They have another location in Upland. To be honest I like this location. It's more homey and feels like an old cafe. (The other place is an old Mimi's, bigger and has a bar. We went to watch a Dodgers game and just had appetizers.)I have a different review for that location. I had the Menudo and I ordered a large bowl, to be honest I probably could have ordered a regular bowl because there's so much meat inside and the large bowl was a bit too much, but no worries, I didn't waste any! Lol. I ordered Menudo for comparison to both locations and I think the Menudo is better at this location. No offense to the cooks at the other location. The service was great! Fast and friendly. They have counter seats as well as booth and tables. It's located the back of shopping center and there's plenty of parking. The menu is pretty good with many different types of food to order. I will have to come back, to either location, to try out something else. I know that they have different locations but I think they are still a family small business doing well to have multiple locations in the same area. Please support small support small businesses and I thank you for your time to read my message. Please be kind and enjoy. read more

Brandon's Diner - Menudo was delicious - Diners Near Me - Rancho Cucamonga, California

We had heard about Taco Tuesday here from some friends, so we finally went to try it out. At $2.50 per taco, they are definitely good value. I ate three and my wife had two, and we were good to go. Both the beef and the chicken are good. Salsa was very good as well. We won't be coming back here regularly, but it was fun to try. read more

Who charges for water? Such a disappointment for Brandon's. I'm sad to say, that's enough to not send me back to them. I usually go to the mountain location but came here. I'm assuming to they're not charging for a glass of tap Water at both locations. . I'd rather go elsewhere if I'm gonna pay for a water- I want the good filtered glad bottled stuff. read more

The food is pretty good for the price. Some of the waitresses are pretty rude though. It is a typical diner and has plenty of seating. Overall a decent place to eat. read more

I got the eight dollar taco plate. It was enough. It was really good Why you didn't get five stars , you shouldn't have charged us extra for pico de gallo. That was a little offset to me. read more

$1.24 each for a glass of tap water. Definitely not okay. They don't tell you when you order. I saw another review saying it was .60, but ours said $2.48 for 2 glasses. Even if the food was okay, we won't be back. read more

The place is clean, and the staff is friendly. (1) the biscuits and gravy was super bland. Pouring salt and pepper on it didn't help. (2) the hash browns didn't legally qualify as hash browns: somebody shredded some cooked potatoes and smashed them sort of (sort of) almost flat. They were not crisp, at all. And they were bland. (3) the chicken fried steak tasted good, and had good mouth feel. (4) the "fresh fruit" wasn't. read more

I have been to this Brandon's before and it was good , however today I was So disappointed, we had to send our French toast back because I couldn't tell what it was cooked with , it looked like rubber and uncooked and cold , my crispy taco wasn't crisp on the bottom , it was cold and sitting so it lost the crispy ness . I will not go back to the Brandon's on baseline ever again ! read more

Stephanie was such a great server-so nice and kind!! Thank you for brightening our morning

Service was really good and our waitress was the best .. Food wasn't the greatest, I ordered chile verde over eggs and had no flavor whatsoever , house fries no flavor either, sucks. The food was basically bland. The best thing was pancakes. read more

Service was excellent! Food was pretty good. I wished there was a little more spicy-ness to their salsa, but it was good. Definitely need to go back for taco Tuesday. read more

One of my favorite spots for breakfast. Kind of a creatures of habit, so I will usually get their French toast. I tried their cinnamon revolution French toast, but that wasn't as moist so I went back to the traditional. We also like to come for their taco Tuesdays. Only a few bucks per taco, the hard shell tacos just like my mom used to make us as a kid. Customer service is usually pretty good. Wait times aren't too long. The restaurant was remodeled a few years ago but looks like a mom and pop diner. read more

Just left the alta loma location after watching our food sitting there for 15 minutes while our waitress is holding a coustomers baby lupita no remaking food so I did not eat and never will again at this restaurant terrible service read more

The tacos are the best !! However, I was truly disappointed when I was charged for a glass a water. Not bottled. This is the first time I ever order water. Is this even legal ?? I was so disappointed. I always tip at least 20% so those .60 could have gone to my soon to be Mother- Faith who is pleasant with great service. It's just the point- SMH read more

My husbands face when I said I wanted Brandon's for dinner was priceless- but by the end of our meal we were excited for our next visit. I read about the liver and onions in a local group and was intrigued, they were delicious!!! The portion was generous and we both had a box of leftovers for tomorrow. read more

The menu is so extensive. There is something for everyone. The restaurant is big. We went early and did not need to wait. They accommodated dietary needs. We have eaten here before, and we wanted to return. Not too many diners have such an extensive menu. There is something for everyone. The sign right inside the restaurant lends itself to a cute selfie. They open early, which is a plus for travelers. Their portions are good enough to hold you over until a late lunch when you eat early. read more

Service was great. Our server was very attentive. The soda cups are big and the side salad was delicious and a nice size. Hubby had the meatloaf sandwich and he said it was "pretty good". However I had the vile verde fries and the flavor was lacking authenticity. Seemed like one of the older locations but nicely decorated. I did notice there was a little bar in the corner. read more

Good food, good portions, good service. Overall good diner vide. Great back story where the chef became the owner. Support your small business. read more

From the moment I walked in, it felt like I had stepped into my grandma's dining room--warm, welcoming, and just missing the plastic-covered couch. The staff? Super friendly and on top of things. I had the steak skillet with crispy potatoes, and man, it hit the spot like a food hug. Way better than Denny's or IHOP. Definitely coming back--and bringing friends! read more

This place has a classic dine vibe. A very large menu with lots of different options. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, I believe all day. I went on a Sunday morning so there was a little bit of a wait. Our food came out relatively quick however our server was not the best. We were missing some things and she gave me a chimichanga instead of a California burrito which someone else came over to fix quickly. Food was all very good it was hard to pick just one thing. I also had a crispy potato taco and that was great too. My friends spoke highly of their taco Tuesday which I would love to go back and try. read more

the fact they have seating right next to where they are getting the food, it's so closterphobic & terrible for dining this place gets one star why would you guys want and expect a tip when you have 100 people walking next to your food back and fourth + it's noises and they have carts going up and down the isle this is a terrible setup will not be returning. read more

Great tacos for Taco Tuesday! Highly recommend the shredded beef tacos. Their salsa is nice and tasty too. Super yummy!

Haven't been here in awhile. Food was good service was awesome by Daniel. Very friendly and on top of everything. The coffee here is one of the best tasting, not bitter or old tasting at all, you know the gross kind you can sometimes get? Ordered -Chicken strips and fries, was good. -regular French toast, this was very t I haven't been here in awhile so thought I'd go. Well this didn't happen. Walked in and waited 15 min. No one even acknowledged us at all. Not even a we will be right with you. I don't expect immediate attention but something in 15 min. They weren't even that busy. Ihop it is read more

Brandon's is a casual diner. American and Mexican food choices are on the menu. The staff has been attentive and the food- while not artisinal, is reliably good with a fair portion size. If you don't care for fancy, or a hip place this would be a good place to consider. The prices are $13-$22 average depending on your selection. I like the beef tacos. They are generous with the shredded beef. The beans are average. I would go back again but i usually prefer a more artisanal dining place. read more

Went today and ordered a fajita burrito with easy rice. I cut it in half and I had nothing but onions maybe four chunks of meat. I don't like to send my food back for obvious reasons. The waitress had to be reminded several times of stuff that we needed at our table. I called back to speak to the manager regarding the burrito. They put the waitress back on the phone and she claims that she saw the cook put a bunch of meat in the burrito and if I wanted to talk to the cook. WTH ‍. I will never go back poor service and mediocre food. read more

The Menudo was good. The tortillas were nice and hot. The Service was really slow. And the restaurant was comfortable. read more

Love this place! The tacos and margaritas are so good (even better on happy hour!) Susana was our server and it seemed like she was catering to certain people....giving others chips and salsa when we didn't get any and we had to ask her 3 times for water and 2 times for a drink we ordered.... But other wise enjoy the place just gets super packed on Tuesdays for Taco Tuesday read more

Last time for me here. I think your staff is rude and most have no personality. We were seated and left alone for about twenty minutes mind you after our drinks were served. We decided to leave and tried to pay for our drinks. The waitress came out and straight lied and said she was on a break when I can surely see you. And even if this was true in any service industry you have someone cover your tables. Pffffft. DONE!! read more

I'm just came from Las Vegas. I ate at different 4 and 5 stars restaurants, super high prices, cold food, awfull service, and coming here, ask for salmon ( perfectly cooked) baked potato (hot and perfectly cooked) and vegetables ( tender to perfection) and with excellent service brought me the best salmon I ate in several years!! And the price!!! Crazyyy That's what I talking about!! Compliments to the chef and all the people here!! You made a customer happy! Thanks read more

Mariano is a great waiter he was quick and kind! Everyone who works here is on it and service is fast, food is hot and fresh! 10/10

Let me just say their biscuits and gravy are the best. But this time I ordered the cinnamon roll French toast. It was obvious that the cinnamon roll was not fresh. I like my French toast dipped in batter for a while so that the egg mixture soaks into the bread, but the inside was dry and I could taste that it was a little bit stale. I will not order the cinnamon roll French toast again, but they are my go to place for biscuits and gravy. read more

We came in for breakfast and sat down to a table fast. Normally there is a wait, but it is well worth it. The inside is decorated very well nice counter to sit at if you do not want to wait. They also have. The option of ordering Mexican Food or your traditional American Food. Either way it all tastes great. If you happen to be in the area, drop in and enjoy a great meal. read more

Recommend going! My group did both breakfast and lunch items. The breakfast pancakes combo was delicious . I got the banana and pecan style with eggs and turkey sausage.

The diner is an icon of American culture located in almost every city and town, including Cucamonga. The American diner had already been struggling in the face of changing tastes, habits, and costs. Brandon's is no exception. Whether you've been coming here for years or this is your first time in the door, you'll feel at home, but, you should eat well. Diners typically serve staples of American cuisine such as hamburgers, French fries, club sandwiches, and breakfast items, quickly cooked and served hot off the griddle. There's something special that happens when a person sees 'biscuits and gravy' on a restaurant menu. One of the pillars of the breakfast table, buttery biscuits smothered in a sausage-studded white gravy makes a hearty meal any time of day....except here. My order was served room temperature and congealed. I sat dumbstruck, waiting for our server to show up. When he finally moseyed over, he popped my cold biscuits in the microwave, never offering up a fresh, hot replacement. Amature fail on his part. "Everything's better with bacon" is the ruling philosophy of the decade. I agree. My love of bacon has grown to surreal heights; it's become a collective obsession. In diet-crazed So Cal, bacon is mercilessly demonized. Four slices of bacon have about 240 calories, contain eight grams of saturated fat and 880 mg of sodium. I know what to expect when I order a side at a diner. Bacon is a very important subject. Even if your scrambled eggs rival those of Denny's and your pancakes are fluffy, ruin the bacon and breakfast is doomed. So Brandon....What's the secret to perfect strips of crisp, evenly cooked bacon????? SERVE IT HOT!!! My bacon was as cold as a witch's left....you get the idea. I won't keep you waiting, cold biscuits, cold gravy, and cold bacon let me with a dilemma. Do I pay for this disaster? Do I tip the chump who served it up cold, and do I Yelp the shit out of this place??? "LETS GO BRANDON" read more
