Ate here this morning, and the one in Moreno Valley last month. In both places the food was good not great. Both places were dirty and both had dirty dishes. The Coffe cups in both places were dirty and had to be replaced. The Cup in Riverside was returned t me with new coffee and the same old dirt in it. The menus were old, tattered, and sticky. Ever wonder what is growing on a menu that has not been cleaned. Both places felt dirty. read more

Food is great but service is slow. The servers look like there here to chat instead of taking care of there customers. Maybe we'll be back.

We were quickly seated and we'll taken care of. Food was delicious and our server, Mckenna, was super friendly!

I eat at Brandons at least once a week. The service is exceptional. The wait staff is friendly and most of the time on top of things. I absolutely adore the breakfast specials and by far the best salad bar in town! I can come here with my son and get breakfast for both of us under $10. Hasta Lavista, McDonald's! I usually end up getting the salad bar, breakfast, or the steak sandwich. My pallet is never disappointed. I refer all my friends and family to this restaurant because of its service, its cleanliness and its food. Typically the salad bar has: fresh vegetables, a few different types of salads, soups (which includes my favorite albondigas), and fresh fruit and dessert. And the bread, the hot bread is heavenly! The desert is hit or miss, but I always give it a shot. It's unlimited for about $6. I have introduced many people to Brandons and I will continue as long as they do not stop what they are doing. Please continue to be a phenomenal family restaurant! read more

Tonight I ordered beef flautas to-go, and as you can see here they were bomb. Great portion, and they showed love with the sauces :) read more

Brandon's Diner - Tonight I ordered beef flautas to-go, and as you can see here they were bomb. Great portion, and they showed love with the sauces :) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Riverside, California

I ordered lunch to pick up and take home. When I got home the complete order was messed up with things missing. When I called to tell them and ask them to credit my card back for the food I didn't get. I was told they couldn't do a partial refund. If I come back in then they could do it. I explained I lived 20 min away. They said they could do a full refund if I came back in. How stupid is that to do to a regular customer. We are done with Brandon's. Be carful if you order to go from them. Carrie was the manager who told us this. read more

LOVE THIS PLACE. I'm from the east coast, specifically New Jersey...and there are hundreds of diners all over the place. I never thought I'd go to a diner on the west coast that beats all of the east coast ones!! They give huge portions and they're priced well. They also have horchata which I love, and they must've given us like a couple quarts of it too. read more

I've been a huge fan of Brandon's for breakfast since it opened. My litmus test for a great breakfast place, is whether they know how to make hash browns (many dives in CA make hash-whites, or they have a bitter after taste). Brandon's hash-browns are Great, especially if you get them crispy. How ever my last trip there 4/21/2012 was a total shock in the way we were treated. I ordered hash-browns for both my sides. My wife ordered just one side of hash-browns. The waitress brought me my plate and said that the hash-browns on the plate was 2 orders, according to the cook. The only problem was that the single order that my wife received was the same size. I felt I was being treated like an idiot over an order of hash-browns! I did not believe it dignified to quibble with the staff after stating my point once and being told "too bad". Food Good Staff Clueless. read more

Great little jewel just across the freeway from The Galleria at Tyler! Old time cafe with a great menu at good prices.

Good food for the price. I always take the food to go so I cannot comment on the service. Breakfast is very affordable and pretty fair. They do make their hash browns over cooked and crispy which I don't like and their fruit is always at least a day old. So that's why I gave it 4 stars. I eat their Often and recommend it to others. read more

Normally love eating here on Sundays and don't mind waiting in the huge line. I always order the Eggs Benedict and biscuit and gravy. Today though, 01/5/14, it was far from good. The biscuits were flat and the gravy was cold. My daughters pancakes were flat and the syrup was crusted on the top in the little container. My Eggs Benedict was bad today. The muffin was hard, the sauce was cold and old tasting. The poached eggs were only partially poached. Today was a sad, sad day. read more

The food here is amazing, not to mention the diner itself is just cute - real "diner" feel. I had the biscuits and gravy and it tasted like my grandma used to make read more

I go regularly for the chilaquiles. I always get great service and the food is delicious. The waitress even remembers my order. This is a great place but watch out , it can get busy on the weekends (understandably). Try the chicken melt. read more

Stopped here for breakfast driving between Orange County and Riverside. There was a 15-minute wait at 10:am on Monday morning so we thought it had to be good, we were right. Excellent spot with all the best attributes of a good diner. My wife ordered the special, which was simple pancakes and eggs. She is picky about her pancakes and these were excellent. I had the Chile Verde Omelet that, on the menu, is identified with exactly the same ingredients as the Maria's Omelet but apparently it has chunks of pork. It was really great and there was a salsa verde all over it that was to die for. I hear that Maria's Omelet is also very good but I can only speak for the Chile Verde. The service was excellent. I also ordered grits plain and I had forgotten just how bland plain grits were.... but that's grits. read more

Came in for breakfast. Our waitress was nice. Then our food came out. Waffles with no syrup. We asked the waitress Carey next to us. She just ignored us. We watched her bring out everything else to her customers. But no syrup. We had to get up and ask for it ourselves. Gravy was cold on our biscuits and gravy. This restaurant has definitely gone down hill. read more

This place is great! The food and service are above average for the price. A little wait on the weekends but I found that placing a phone order and picking it up is the best for breakfast times. read more

Food is good. Portions needs to be a little more with the price they charge. Very pricey. Just for 2 it came out to almost $50. I could've made a better breakfast at home. It's OK. Variety of different of food which is good. read more

We had breakfast here this morning and it was very good, as usual. Our waitress, Amy, was very attentive and, as usual, did a very fine job! All of the wait staff is very friendly and give good service. read more

I recently visited Brandon's diner and was quite pleased with my visit. I had seen it whenever I would visit the mall but just never went. I'm glad I finally made it in. The location itself is decent. In a small shopping center with a good amount of parking. The restaurant is a nice size so it didn't feel cramped or crowded by any means. It was a clean facility and the staff was very friendly. We were greeted immediately upon entering and were seated right away. There were quite a few people there but it was super busy. Our server came quickly and got our drinks and took our order. God came out fresh and hot and very quickly which was nice because we were starving. The food was delicious! There are a ton of menu options so making a decision was very difficult but my husband and I were both happy with our choices. I got the cinnamon revolution French toast and it was great. It was 2 large slices of toast swirled with cinnamon. Not too sweet and the cinnamon flavor was so good. And you can make it a combo for just a couple bucks more with lots of items to choose from to do so. My husband got the machaca burrito wet style. He loved it. The burrito was massive. It had potatoes, eggs, and machaca inside and the proportions of each was a good ratio. The green salsa on top was amazing. Probably the best salsa verde I've ever had. Mild but with a good little kick. My husband could not finish it but it reheated the next day nicely. Overall our experience was great. Good food, good service, no complaints here. Can't wait to go back and try more items from their huge menu. read more

Chilaquiles is spot on here! Gets quite crowded on the weekends.

As soon as we walked in no one even greated us... steak and eggs were horrible! Asked for my steak medium rare and it was well done and chewy. Also observed a sender drop a loud on the dirty floor and pick it up and put it on the cup anyways. Overall the food and service sucked! read more

This location is larger then the location off Magnolia. Every waitress I've had has always been beyond nice and very much down to earth. They have great daily special which include your beverage. The lunch specials are great and many for only $5 or $6 dollars. If your watching your diet or want something light then you can dive in to the all you can eat soup and salad bar. Overall I've always had great service along with a great meal. read more

Horrible customer service. Don't go on taco Tuesday. Apparently, they have extra attitude on that day.

Came here randomly with some friends and immediately wished i knew about it sooner. The food is yummy, the servings are huge, and the prices are good. The service was great and everything was very clean. Its a bit cramped in there but that's a typical diner i guess... pack em in. I had an omelette which was the size of my forearm, as was the burrito my hubby got. Both were really great. Ordered a V8 and got regular tomato juice which isn't the end of the world but it was pretty flavorless. Can't wait to go back and try something else. read more

Brandon's Diner may look unassuming from the exterior, but the throngs of customers lining up out the door should be an indicator that this restaurant is anything but ordinary. Don't let its outside appearance fool you - this is a very good local diner with many loyal customers. If you blink, you might miss it. Not only is their food of generous proportion, but the servers are outstanding. The 5 or 6 times I've been there, they seem to know their regulars by first name & even help the elderly out of their booths when it's time for them to leave. They have several large flat screen TVs in the dining area that mostly play the football game of the day, so if you're a football fan, this is the place for you. If not, amuse yourself by appreciating their homemade fare or by people watching. This is a wonderful diner, especially if you want to get a taste of real food & a feel for the locals. read more

I came to this location with my mother and grandmother for lunch. As we typically go to the Fontana location and have experienced a nice dining experience, however coming to this location-- IT WAS THE WORST DINING EXPERIENCE EVER! The servers kept trying to seat us together with people who weren't in a party (and not at the table next to others, at the same booth!). I ordered a Chicken Salad and the lettuce was old, wilted and brown. The chicken was not cooked properly and the boiled egg tasted like there were chemicals on it-- all i ended up eating was the toast it came with. Not once during our time eating were we checked on or asked if we wanted/needed refills. We were all done eating and ready for the check when our waiter asked if he could give me a refill on my water, like honestly what was the point in that. And the kicker to it all was one of the waitresses yelled out, in the the small restaurant that it is, to one of the waiters "Get Out of my Butthole!" How absolutely disgusting and unprofessional to say, much less yell, in an eating establishment. read more

Wasn't too bad for a diner. Food was not greasy at all! I had chicken strips and fries which was delish. My dad and brother had the bacon burger. We all enjoyed. Big big cups tho! read more

The best taco salad ever! The carne asada pieces were cooked just right, with melted cheese drizzled over them, and yet the lettuce pieces were fresh AND still crispy. This was my first time here; it won't be the last! The only problem I will have is trying new things when my taste buds will be craving the taco salad again. read more

Found this eatery to be a great find for Sunday morning breakfast out! Lots of food and great service

Best meal In the Inland Empire! I highly recommend the breakfast it's the most important meal of the day. Superb

I came on a friday morning and the wait was not bad. The restaurant was clean and the staff was nice. The breakfast special was such a deal and good, you cant go wrong. I will definitely come back ! read more

Great food and great service. Their prices are very reasonable and there is a great variety of food on their menu. Their French dip sandwich is to die for. I will go back again when I'm in Riverside... read more

Omelettes are amazing and the coffee is always fresh. No complaints on Brandon's diner

Yummy Mexican food served with chips and salsa, they offer beer also other dining choices too if Mexican isn't your thing. Friendly wait staff. Cheap. Long lines on weekends during peak hours. Everybody loves Brandon's. read more

We like Brandon's in Mo Val.. maybe because we always get breakfast. Came here for dinner. My toddler had Mac & Cheese and fresh fruit, Mac was straight out of a box and fruit wasn't fresh. I had a turkey burger and fried zucchini, burger was cold and can tell just a frozen patty slapped on the grill. Zucchini coating was a weird like tempura batter.. didn't eat. Hubby had a burrito which and it had bell pepper and onion and huge chunks of it. Waitress was okay. Not super friendly and her nails were dirty (sorry for being petty, but you serve food) Would never come back to this location, but would probably go back to Mo Val for breakfast. read more

The best pancakes ever. Light and fluffy and tasty! There is also a location in Moreno Valley.

My favorite breakfast place. Great variety of options. The eggs Benedict is my go to. Pancakes are huge. The only reason it's a four star rather than five is that most times it takes a while to get refills and such, even though there are plenty of waitresses standing around. Other than that the food is definitely worth the service you get. read more

There is nothing worse than ordering eggs over medium requesting whites to Not be runny. When you get them. One yoke is cooked completely hard. The other the white is so runny not even eatable! $15 is a lot of money for breakfast you should be able to get eggs cooked as requested. . Maybe there was a language problem not sure. The waitress barely spoke English. read more

Always friendly, helpful wait staff. Just had the hash and eggs. Potatoes cooked perfectly. Coffee cup never sees the bottom. Love coming here. read more

Really enjoy this place. Good family environment, friendly staff, and great service. The food always pretty tasty. It's good old home cooking food. Good prices too. read more
