    Bowl of Albondigas Soup
    Dennis T.

    We have been here a few times since my last review, and the place continues to satisfy. On the latest occasion I enjoyed a Patty Melt on Rye prepared medium rare as requested, with French Fries. Small onion cubes added to the classic diner-food effect, and the Rye Bread used, with rye aplenty, was outstanding. The Fries, smeared in ketchup, were tasty, too. And Diane once again liked her Meat Lovers Skillet with crispy Hashbrowns. The only problem we encountered was that as we arrived I could see a waitress looking out the window with an "Oh no!" look on her face as she saw me parking our car in front of the diner. It was 8:40 p.m. on a Sunday night, and the restaurant closes at 9. Sure enough, I was told that all soups and salads--even Chili--had already been put away, and were unavailable to order. This is not what I expect to encounter when I arrive at a restaurant over 15 minutes before closing time. Our server, Sara G., who had been the person I saw looking out the window with a sorrowful expression, explained that the night had been exceptionally slow, and no further diners had been expected. Fortunately for me and Diane, the taste of the food we ordered made up for my disappointment at not having a full menu to draw from, including the wonderful Albondigas Soup made here, and Chili. So it was still at least a four-star experience in any event. And a mixture of piped in music soothed our spirits as we ate.

    The prices were good and food presentation and amounts were excellent and the taste was phenomenal! I was really pleased and happy with the food and excellent service delivered by waitress Libby.the guacamole bacon burger was so juicy and delicious, the onion rings were the best ever , so tasty and crunchy. The highlights were the rings and the michelada...The spicy cucumber Michelada was the best i have ever tried! I will go again today and take my other daughter.

    We love Brandon's! It's a great place to go when everyone wants something different. Breakfast, lunch, or dinner - can't go wrong! Service has always been great. Can take a bit to order/see a waiter if they're busy, but even then it's pretty easy to flag someone down. There's plenty of seating, some TVs, and it's not super loud in there. Also, Taco Tuesday is amazing!

    Taco tuesday at its finest love the chicken tacos here, 3 chicken tacos for $8.45 only on Tuesday. Complimented with excellent customer service.( See Casey) Thank you, Mark LaBray

    Do you serve alcohol and wine at breakfast time?

    They have a variety of beer in bottle and drafts, they have several mimosas and a mimosa flight. Moreno valley location has full bar Menu. Here we've just had mimosas and micheladas

    I seen they have all you can eat salad bar, do you pay extra for that?

    I don't think so

The order was NOT ready at the time it was supposed to be, but they hooked us up with hummus as service recovery. The only things off-putting to me was that there's a code for the restroom even though there's more than one stall. A couple of us were standing around waiting for no reason until the lady came out and said "there's more than one stall in there!" The other thing that was off-putting is an employee walked in (uniform on) with her kids and walked into the kitchen with her kids with her. The kids were walking in and out of the kitchen area multiple times with no supervision (where did mom go?!) They eventually walked out with open cups of drinks. Not too sanitary and no one said anything to her or the kids that I could hear.

Everything was spotless. The ambiance is clean, welcoming, and comfortable. Service was fast, but what stood out was that the cashier still took the time, with a smile, to explain parts of the menu when we had questions. The prices are surprisingly affordable. When my mom hesitated because of the language, they made the effort to speak Spanish to make her feel comfortable, which meant a lot to us. We were served at our table, and honestly, the first bite was heavenly. I thought I already loved Greek food, but this went beyond anything I've tried before. Definitely coming back

When finally a gentleman from the back walks up and gives me the simple code, which took him 2 seconds. #2: I order the Baja fish sandwich... IT IS NOTHING LIKE THE PHOTO. Flavorless and blah. This sandwich WAS NOT WORTH THE $11.00. I would rather go to McDonald's for their Fillet-O-Fish sandwich, at least they are true to their picture and not deceiving as a way of advertising. Also, Just an FYI the women's bathroom is a mess. You can tell it hasn't been checked in a while... photos to follow....

I just order online, roll up to one of the pickup parking stalls at the Lazy Dog, and take it home or enjoy in the car hobo-style (my preferred method). They even have impressive TV dinners for $10 (or less if you buy 5 or more) that are housemade, gourmet versions of those retro Hungry Man/Banquet frozen meals of yesteryear. AND WITH BOMBA$$ DESSERTS!! That small upper right hand pocket of foil contains a unique surprise that I live for. So far the pineapple upside down cake has been my fave. But the peanut butter cup brownie is a close second. Wish one came with their butter cake. Honestly my main concern when it comes to TV dinners is what dessert is included. So it was an added bonus that the dinners themselves were higher quality than expected! Lazy Dog made a wise pivot with their brand by capturing a larger demographic of casual diners with these bowls/TV dinners. I hope other chains like Cheesecake Factory and P.F. Chang's follow suit. Keep it up, LD!
