Came here for Mother's Day for the 1st time with a big group there was no wait and food was delicious and service was GREAT our server Jaronamo was the best !!! I will be coming here more often. read more

Tonight I had one of the best meals ever. My wife and I decided to visit Spires, after not eating there for several years. My wife and I ordered the Fish and Chips. Dinner salad was great and the meal was perfect. Fish, vegetables, bread, potato and garlic toast were cooked very well. Our waiter has been there many years and he is is quite a worker and customer pleaser. I think Spires changed their menu and I thought the selection and pricing was superior. Now there is a tv to glance at and this is always nice. I must say after this visit, I will return soon. read more

Came in for a nice early dinner. Service was spot on, food was great, staff was very personable and attentive. Prices outstanding!!! Works recommend highly! read more

The pricing is soooo cheap and the food is awesome! I ordered the breakfast burrito and was amazing! My boss got their spaghetti plate and said it was one of the best dishes he had! The amount of food you get is crazy for the cheap pricing. The waiters were very attentive and sweet! Even though the place was packed they were fast and efficient. Your cup will never be empty! I'm from out of town and definitely will be dining here again when I am in town again. Thanks for the great service! read more

The food is actually a 1 star, but the servers deserve 5. We were staying at a hotel nearby and wanted a fresh breakfast instead of the one our hotel provided for us. But we probably should have stuck with the free food because this was not worth any money we spent. We ordered the Lumberjack breakfast and Eggs Benedict. There was ZERO flavor in anything I tasted. The ham was salty, the bacon was chewy, the hashbrowns were bland and undercooked. The coffee was poor quality. Everything was just terrible. I felt so bad because the servers were so nice and attentive. If this place had bad customer service it would be a 1 star restaurant. I was very upset that I didn't choose to eat at my hotel or even the Starbucks across the street. Overall, I would not recommend and will not return myself. Even in a crunch, I would say choose anywhere else. read more

Well I will give them this, they have stayed true to the same old dishes from 20 years ago when I remember going with my parents. Food is lack luster and has little to no flavor. It's ok if you are in a pinch and hungry I suppose. Wait staff is friendly and attentive. read more

Service was perfect! The food was pretty good. I had the Country Skillet & my hunny had the lumber jack breakfast. The ham and pancakes were bomb! Plus, it was not pricey. The server was very attentive and nice, Maribel. The atmosphere was welcoming. I would definitely come here again! read more

Breakfast was excellent. There were a few chain restaurants near by but we opted here. Clean and the service was great! I enjoyed the protein omelet. The chicken was tasty and the fruit was delicious. Great coffee too! read more

Friendly staff when I walked in. Order taken quickly. Last time I saw my waiter was when he cleared my table. My fish and chips were delivered by someone else but never got my soup. I needed extra tartar sauce but like I said, my waiter never came back by to check on me. He did bring me some iced tea in a to go cup when he brought my check. He seemed nice but needed to be more attentive. It was early between 4-5 PM. Some what disappointed. read more

Excellent local old school diner close to the airport. Food is fresh, service is great, and it is beautiful with lots big booths.

Went there today after a long event at the convention center server greeted us was very pleasant on top of things when it came here refilling drinks no the food the onion rings were wonderful like I asked extra crispy the burger was great then just the way I like it I would definitely recommend them to anybody flying in or out of Ontario Airport read more

Takes me back to the local Spires by my house growing up. Had a Beef dip sandwich and good conversation with an old friend. The refills kept coming from attentive servers. read more

Have been here twice first time was breakfast what is very basic. I decided to try lunch, big mistake ordered a half sandwich and salad combo. I got a half french dip. My lord no flavor and as dry a beef jerky . It was served on two bottoms Of a french role wtf. Salad was just iceberg lettus with ranch and 2 pieces of cabbage. Nothing else...yuck wont be back read more

Post-concert food Deluxe! You have to hurry if you're going to come in after concert cuz they close at 11 I only serve no alcohol. I have the crispy chicken sandwich with avocado. Forgot it's perfect post-concert food, cuz it is semi delicious, quick coming out, and it's fairly inexpensive. That being said I would literally give the crispy chicken sandwich at 2.5 out of 5 stars because it was right in the middle it wasn't bad but it wasn't really great kind of bland but I spiced it up with a little bit of Tapatio. What was excellent was the onion rings they were not overly breaded and actually pretty delicious I would definitely recommend them if you're going to come in here and chow down. Not bad food, just probably not my first choice if I had a chance to eat anywhere earlier. Beware, napkins are tiny! We will have to use a lot on some of these messy Foods read more

Great little diner close to airport and convention center. Food was tasty, coffee was hot, and waitstaff was very friendly! I ate breakfast here and it was well worth the price. I liked that I was able to order my items a la carte. I had the oatmeal, eggs, and hash browns...no complaints on anything! read more

Great food and very friendly staff, not many diners like it around anymore. They have quick service and family owed definitely worth the stop. read more

First time here, extremely satisfied with both the service and the food! Juan provided great service and the dining room was very clean! Next time I'm here in town I will stop by and eat!! read more

Was in the area and wanted something that didn't come in a wrapper. This place was down the street from where we were staying. While its older, everything was clean. Including the visible parts of the kitchen. The staff was very busy, and the customers were generally friendly. Food was good. My only regret is that we didn't go back for breakfast the next day. I'm not in the area much, but will be back if in the area. read more

We had never been here, but saw a take out menu in the hotel we were staying at across the street from it. We decided to try it out, & wish we had gone over there before this, when we were in this area. My husband & I couldn't believe how reasonable priced the food was, but also the size of the servings. The restaurant is a good old fashioned family place, with super friendly staff, & it was also clean. Sure wish we had one of these where we live!! Well worth going to. The waiter kept our ice tea glass full, & I just can't find the words for finding this wonderful place to eat at that was right under our nose!! We will definitely be going back to this place when we are in this area again!! read more

We walked to Spires from the convention center after our friends graduation ceremony and you would think that due to their proximity to the convention center they would be accustomed to serving large crowds. We were a group of 11. They seated us and were extremely flustered when it came to taking our orders and serving us. We didnt get our food till much later and a quick bite to eat turned into a bit of an ordeal. Luckily we had good friends and good conversations at our table so we didn't mind the wait so much. read more

This place is finally being remodelled! No more 80's decor! We've been customers of Spires for the past 20 years. Our first visits were in Westminster, then Tustin. Once we moved to the Inland Empire we'd make the drive to Tustin just to eat their half fried chicken dinner special on Mondays. But luckily for us they ended up opening a location in Corona that was short-lived. So now we frequent the Ontario location. The fried chicken is to die for and from what I'm told they bread it themselves. The vegetable beef is so good and also made daily. The salad are always fresh and the dressings are yummy. Ask for Marybelle as she is attentive and just awesome! read more

Ugh! Got there around 9:10am, really didn't feel like breakfast food. Ordered the french dip sandwich with fries and a soda. Fries were well-cooked, but didn't seem to have ANY salt whatsoever. The soda was really off, like the mix was wrong or something; way too pale and tasted weird, and so much ice in the glass, there was only about 1/2 a cup of actual liquid in it. The french dip sandwich was weird. The roll was nice, but the meat was overly salty. The aus jus was SO salty it tasted like someone dumped a bottle of soy sauce into it, and had no other flavor to it other than that. Now, the service. I always try to take into account how busy the restaurant is, because even the best waitstaff gets so legitimately slammed they just CAN'T do better for you. The place was a bit busy, maybe there'd been a person who called out that day, but really, I saw my server all of 4 times, period. She sat me down and took my drink order, 10 minutes went by. She brought my drink and took my order, 20 minutes went by. She brought my order, which is when I asked her to bring my check asap because I would need to go as soon as possible. 20 minutes go by, during which time I finished my meal in less than 10 and proceeded to wait another 10; she finally brings me my check and for the first time, asks me if i want another soda, even though it's been empty for most of my visit, what with there having been so little liquid in it in the first place. No check-ups in between, or refills of my soda before this point. Most of my time was spent waiting, not eating; I didn't even see her nearby with other people so I could flag her down. I saw 2 other people working the floor on my side of the place; a busboy, who seemed to be working his butt off, and a guy who might have been a manager or supervisor, who went around to literally every other table than mine (I wasn't exactly tucked into a corner and hard to spot), checking up on the other diners and making conversation. Most of the other diners were 55+, maybe some of them were regulars, but really. If you're management, and going to check up on diners, you check up on EVERYONE, period. If waitstaff is slammed with work, you start helping out by taking part of a section, or refilling drinks, breaking someone, whatever, because YOU ARE MANAGEMENT, and it's YOUR ultimate resonsibility to make sure the shift runs smoothly, and customers leave happy. Ultimately, I'm wondering if the shitty service had to do with my age; except for the busboy, I was the youngest person in the place by at least 20 years, and have been outright asked to leave bars because the bouncers or bartenders have thought my id was a fake because of how young they thought I looked, even into my late-20s. Maybe they just thought I'd be a bad tipper anyway and wasn't worth the bother, I don't know. It's a shame, because when I get excellent service, I've been known to tip at least 30%, and I rarely make it hard for waitstaff by asking for lots of extra stuff. Next time I'm going to Denny's; the food is better, as is the service. read more

So glad we went here instead of Denny's. Got a full meal special for 9.50. Tilapia, baked potato, soup, salad, garlic breadd and rice pudding. The vegetable soup was delicious and obviously homemade as was the tartar sauce. If you need a bargain this is your place and the service was actually incredible- I don't usually write a review, but it is unusual to find a little joint like this that was so nice and affordable. read more

This is a good diner. Typical diner fare at reasonable prices. It was full of little old people, so you know it is decent and cheap. The staff was friendly and food was expertly prepared. Skip the chain restaurants and try this out. read more

So, there I was, in the lovely town of Ontario, California. Hmmm. Where to eat? I felt kind of picky so I walked around looking for restaurants. I ended up at Spires and actually enjoyed the special they were having. The special was a chicken fettucine alfredo dish for about 7.99. They gave huge portions and it also came with jello. It came with a soup or salad too. The waiter was very attentive and was really into his job. So, thanks Spires for your great service. Well, that's it for this review. Hope you try out the Spires specials....... read more

I'm all for diner food from a box, but this wasn't particularly good diner food from a box. The exception was the dinner salad; iceberg, sure, but it came with crispy cucumber slices and croutons. The fried chicken was dry, greasy, and over-fried, the baked potato was dried out, and the veggies were covered in oil. Prompt service all around and bottomless sodas helped things along a bit, as did the large helpings, but as far as diner food goes this place won't be winning many awards. read more

I have to give this place 5 stars. Inbred Empires version of the "Greasy Spoon." Clean, with dated, and faded decor, cracked seat cushions, friendly service, (Juan the waiter is the best!) a little crater on the corner of Holt and Vineyard. But best not overlooked.. Food is good and decently priced. I had the Alfredo Grilled Shrimp and Chicken dinner. Yum! Not the best, but definitely way better than expected. They closed the one on Haven, a shame because I have great memories there as would any Cucamonga native. Now if only I could get them to bring back their Monte Cristo sandwich.... Free WiFi, no one to bug you on your lunch break or if you simply wanna get a away and no one can find you! read more

We came in and they only had two waitresses working. They had a full restaurant, but we were seated immediately. However, it took an additional 10 minutes before we were acknowledged and coffee ordered. One glass of water was brought for three people. Breakfast was ordered and 20 minutes later was delivered. The biscuits and gravy were cold and the gravy was congealed. The waffle that came with another breakfast arrived 5 minutes after the rest of the meal was served. Our waitress was working the other half of the restaurant and the waitress in our area was extremely rude when asked for anything. We will definitely not return. read more

Easily accommodated my party of 13 with excellent customer service and delicious food. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area!

Loved the atmosphere and food! If you are into the boutique food scene this may not be for you. This place is where the locals go and have gone for years. I loved watching the old timers! The food was very good. The kitchen doesn't wince if you ask for a change in ingredients. The service is friendly, kind, and fast. We went twice while staying at a near hotel. Will plan on visiting again if we are back. read more

This is the type of restaurant where I wanted to walk into the kitchen and shake the cooks hand. Had it not been for the 100 degree weather leading me to get a hotel room to enjoy the pool that was walking distance away from Spires, I would have never gone. As I walked in, I could feel the nice cool air and their fresh iced tea made the visit even better. With the typical diner feel, the customer service, prices and good food made my experience worth it. My order was done right the 1st time and the refills came like clockwork. My plate cane with either a soup or salad. I leaned towards the soup and was not disappointed. I was expecting a cup but got a bowl instead. I did not need to add any spices as it was just perfect. Their steak dinner was also good to go. Overall, a wise choice that left me satisfied. read more

Service was excellent, food was delicious until I found a hair in it. I asked for the manager to tell him and his response was with a smile and said it happens. I begin to tell him it shouldn't happen and it's not a joke. I then ask for his managers name and he starts getting angry trying to justify the hair in the food. Long story short, the waitress's were excellent, food had hair in it and management definitely needs a change. There was no apology or anything. read more

I been eating at this place for years so I guess I can say I am a regular, princess are super affordable and the food s great. Some things could be improved but with the prices I can't complain so if anyone complains I guess they should be going to a much more expensive place right. Just saying. Love the feel of the place, the service and the the princess are cheap and the food is not bad at all!!! Love it! read more

This was horrible. My family and I have been doing a lot of running around that morning and decided to go to breakfast . I suggested Norms because we have had nothing but excellent service and food there and was a bit skeptical about Spires, but since it was close, I decided against m better judgment. We were seated and ordered from the breakfast menu and watched other families and people be seated after us who got their food in a timely matter. It took 45 minutes to finally get our food. The soda I had had a strange taste like it was out dated. The pancakes had to be sent back because they were not cooked through and had to wait another 2o minutes for them to come back, and the second batch tasted like it was play dough. My poor husbands steak was completely rare and half fat. The service was horrible. The waitress seemed to not know how to smile and continuously walked by our table without asking if we needed anything or to refill our drinks, we had to flag other workers to get attention. The only good thing that came out of this entire situation? Was that they cut our bill in half. But....we didn't really get to eat either. If you can, go to Norms. read more

Local diner with great customer service and fast. Was visiting the area and decided to give this place a try for breakfast. The food was of good quality and tasted great. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in town. read more

5 stars. Great restaurant. Came here for breakfast around 7:30 on a Saturday, not busy, great quick service. Typical American diner feel. I had the #4: two eggs (I chose poached), two strips of bacon and hash browns for $7, and tea for $2. I gauge the quality of the chef if the poached eggs run when they are sliced open, and they did. Would come again. read more

Friendly staff, clean and decent food. Nice stop for a traveler grave coffee and a bite to eat.

Super good food, especially the fried chicken dinner on Mondays and the fillet of sole on Fridays. Also, the steaks are great. Management, servers, and bus staff all work hard and are friendly. There is a lot of convenient, free parking next to the restaurant.. Ignore the negative reviews: I've been going to Spire's since 1978, when the Monday chicken dinner was $1.99, with soup, salad, roll, potato, and desert, and I needed to stretch my college student loan money as far as it would go. This is a great place to eat instead of wasting your time and money at the trendy high-priced restaurants that are filled with brain-dead phonies who are sleazy enough to wear Kardashian slut clothes. Support Spires and forget the trendy ca-ca holes; they go out of business and Spires stays open with good, solid American food, reasonable prices, and attentive service. read more

This place is just like Denny's...with the baked goods display case and the sign advertising the specials. Service was very good and my friend and I never felt neglected. We took our time and were never rushed. The food is nothing to rave about...typical diner food...hits the spot when you're in the mood for comfort food. Portions are generous. read more

Greeted by an unfriendly manager, waited on by an irritated waitress who didn't seem to want to serve me I ordered tea I opened up the small pitcher and found she had spit phlegm into my tea water. read more
