    House Omelette
    Sejal S.

    A cozy breakfast spot with amazing menu options! The service is great and polite. I tried the House Omelette, which comes with avocado and veggies, and it was delicious. The hashbrowns were cooked perfectly. We also had the strawberry French toast with chocolate sauce and fresh strawberries, which was really good. A solid breakfast spot for families.

    I SOOOO miss Spires! they used to have a location in Monrovia. My daughter and I would go every Friday and Saturday. So we were in the neighborhood and decided to revisit one of our favorite restaurant! I got the pork chop daily special and my daughter got the sirloin dinner. I love the daily specials and dinner specials. Comes with SOUP AND SALAD AND A DESSERT! It just fills my heart and stomach with so much joy! Service is awesome!

    I ordered many items as I was hungry and like to try varieties of items at diners. Everything was not good, over cooked. I'm guessing if I was drunk and came here after a few drinks it might of tasted better. The staff was friendly although a bit slow to getting to you. The restaurant was clean as I could see. The menu is huge so maybe I just need to order something else next time.

    The Spires near my neighborhood was permanently closed. I had to go to Ontario airport so why not give this place a try. So far so good. The food was as good as I remembered from other location. While I asked for water the waiter even offered me hot water, though I prefer cold water. I add one star for this gesture. The ambiance was like other old school coffee shop.

    Had a spires in my neighborhood when I was younger. When picking up my god dad found that there was a spires open and wanted to feel nostalgic. Came on Monday around 2pm sad to see the restaurant completely empty. Restaurant had nice Americana on the walls just like going back In time. The lady waitress and male waiter were nice and friendly. Ordered a 1/2 sandwich that came with soup n salad ordered the beefeater. Food was bland and needed seasoning. The bread was soggy, and the beef was really chewy. Salad wasn't crisp probably because was put on a hot plate with the sandwich. This place is definitely not what I remember it to be unfortunately.

    Western Burger with fries!

    My wife and I were in Ontario for a horror convention, so we wanted to grab some food before hand so we didn't spend $250 on overly salted pretzels while walking around. We had no idea what was in the area, but when we drove by Spires Restaurant down the street we knew we needed to give this place a shot. From the outside, this place looks like an East Coast diner and that's something we both have a huge soft spot for. We came here around 11:30AM on a Sunday and were pleasantly surprised when we walked inside. Not only was this place absolutely packed, but the inside matched the outside and it was just a charming establishment. The menu here was a little bit of everything! From Burgers and Steaks to Salads and Soups, Spires has pretty much everything a person could want and that's perfectly okay when it's a diner. The servers here were friendly and quick to take orders, provide water, and check in on us throughout our visit which was nice, but the most important thing is what came next, the food! The photo below doesn't look like a game changer and it doesn't look like the best burger in the world.....and it wasn't, but it tasted really good and it tasted the exact way I want a burger when it comes from a diner or a similar place. I ordered the "Western Burger" which was basically a cheeseburger lettuce, bacon, BBQ Sauce, and some onion rings on it and it was absolutely delicious. On top of the burger being great, the french fries on the side were thick steak cut and were pretty dang good as well, a great meal! Overall, Spires Restaurant brought me back to 1990s New England in the best way and it's definitely a place I would come back to in the future. I really enjoyed the food I ordered, the restaurant was super comfortable, and the staff was great as well. Need a good hearty meal in Ontario? Spires gotchu.

    Born in 1965, once upon a time, Spires was part of SoCal landscape. While only a few remain, their dineresque offerings still delivers! This combo was plentiful and hit the spot.

    Excellent breakfast option near the Ontario International Airport. The service was excellent. Food prepared on site and served hot! Everything was seasoned well and portion size is great for sharing or leftovers. Definitely a restaurant for locals and visitors alike, everyone is greeted and treated with a smile!

    OMG! The food here is absolutely delicious. Everything I had was a 10 and just the perfect flavor. The place is old but very clean. The employees are very nice and the prices very reasonable. This is a great place for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Plenty of parking and near the airport and convention center. I highly recommend this place and give it my #Orangetree Approval which is the highest rating I can give. I will definitely return to try their extensive menu.

    Cobb Salad

    Ordered the Cob Salad and it was super good. Service was great. Fast and efficient. Ambiance has the awesome coffee shop vibe that I like. Highly recommend

    Breakfast Burrito
    Kyle V.

    Another typical average diner with very friendly staff, a clean dining room with an old school layout/design, and relatively quick but average food. I went with the breakfast burrito and fruit. The portion was large and the burrito was packed with a lot! I wish the hashbrown were crispier but that would be tough to stick into the burrito. The salsa was pretty good that came with it and had a little bit of a kick. They split their U shaped booths in half by removing a table insert, which makes it kinda awkward because you are basically sitting with random people in the same booth. The prices seemed a little higher than nearby diners but nothing outrageous.

    Worst service I've had in years. Our waitress opened with a curt "Order?"--no greeting, no smile. Food was dropped off in silence, no "anything else you might need?" or follow-up the entire meal. She never checked on us, then dropped the check and walked away without a word. Rude, unprofessional, and made us feel completely unwelcome. Didn't get her name, but if management reads this, date was 8/9, order 42, section 4

    French Toast
    Thomas D.

    Came here after church for a solid breakfast and lunch diner experience. Service was quick and food came out no more than 20 minutes after ordering! Burger was nice and big, zucchini sticks were crunchy too! Usually expect soggy zucchini when they get deep fried but this establishment opened my eyes! Bacon, eggs and French toast were also up to par, with the bacon being extra crispy and just the way I liked them! Overall, this restaurant is a staple in the IE and for those passing through and wanting a nice meal, Spires is definitely where you need to go!

We ordered them their steamed milk "babyccino" and iced Milo Dino (nostalgic of my Milo chocolate drink growing up)and they felt like grown ups with their special drinks lol. The fluffy pancakes takes 30 mins but well worth the wait. One order was enough for my two littles. The overnight oats was really yummy along with The Goat omelette!

The combination of the Berry compote, whipped cream, and fresh berries was absolutely delicious and will get you full. I don't recommend getting a dessert if you plan on getting this! BELLY 2 BELLY: 8/10 The texture of the Roasted Pork Belly was a great balance of soft and crunchy, and it was also flavorful. I wish there was one more poached egg for this dish because ours was slightly more cooked and not as runny. I would have like to mix my yolk with my dish. TAKE UR SEAT BREAKFAST SANDWHICH: 7.5/10; I was initially hesitant to get this dish because I don't like spice, however, the spicy Mayo was the perfect amount of spice for me. It was very filling. All of the other ingredients speak for themselves. OVERALL, - Great brunch spot with various fusions from Singaporean, Spanish, Filipino, and American influences - 4/5 items we purchased were at least a 7.5/10 - Don't purchase any other desserts if you get the berry cloud pancakes otherwise you'll experience sweetness overload - Will be coming here again!

    Toby likes to poke fun of me because I usually a cup or two of coffee when we're in, but, get me to…read morea breakfast diner or other food joint and I'm suddenly having six to eight cups with my meal. I remembered this because Iron Skillet has got to be the fastest on the draw in terms of keeping you coffee topped off. I counted in the first fifteen minutes I was there, I had my coffee refilled four times and probably eight times in the span of the forty-five minutes I was there. The only slowdown I saw was when they dropped off the bill. Suddenly after that no one was checking on me to see if I needed more coffee. I guess they figured that I had had enough and were cutting me off. That's a mistake because as long as I'm sitting at breakfast I'm going to want coffee. The second thing I noticed was they have a damn good skillet program here, especially if want to experiment with creating your own. It was something like $15.50 to put in three mix-ins for your skillet, but only $1.50 to make the mix-ins unlimited. This time I kept it simple--sausage, ham, green peppers, and onions along with customary cheddar and three eggs--but next time I'm going to experiment a little. The skillet itself was amazing. The portion was generous, the produce was fresh, and the eggs were super runny. It really is in contention for the best traditional skillet I've ever had. The other thing that could've put it in the running for best skillet overall is if they had some exotic offerings for protein like I've had elsewhere in the country like elk, smoked pulled pork, duck, walleye, or even rabbit. Skillets are good, but skillets with like an animal you don't normally see for breakfast is amazing. I'm still on the lookout for my goat skillet. The service, as aforementioned, was impeccable. The coffee refills is the main thing I complain about other breakfast joints and here I never even had a thought to getting upset regarding that for the first portion of the meal. My only critique as you may have guessed is to continue that generosity and initiative for the whole meal. I really want me to toy with breaking double digits with the amount of coffee refills I receive during a meal. And that's only going to happen if you continue to ask me after you drop off the bill. The ambience is good. It looks like a diner. It quacks like a diner. It's a diner. I felt right at home here with all that space and mix of booths, tables, and counter space.
