    This was an outstanding place to eat!!! Eggs perfectly done. Hash browns like they should be cooked and tasted great and pancakes that came HOT to your table. Excellent menu and American as well as Mexican cuisine. Every plate was inviting.Erika was our server and she was professional and efficient. Our coffee cups were full and she checked on us often. Very nice person. Already planning our next trip. Yum....thank you Erika!

    I went on a Saturday during brunch. It was packed but I was seated quick. My waitress was on top of things and my food came out quick. Everything was delicious.

    Great breakfast place!!! Were up super early, so decided to go here for breakfast, and everything we had was delicious!! Starting with the cappuccino and hot chocolate, and then our meals. Everything arrived super quick. And our server was awesome, but everyone was very cordial and friendly. They have lots of options to choose from for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but for us since it was very early morning, we decided to go with the berries and banana pancakes, Nutella crepes, and the crunchy french toast, and every single bite was delicious, highly recommend this place!!!

    Good food good mimosa flats, but get there early because some drinks sell out. We had a little bit of everything and I would definitely come back especially at that price point just next time I want that adult coffee

    Amazing restaurant here at Brandon's diner in the Beautiful city of Moreno valley California! The beautiful remodeling has remarkably given this diner a " real feel " and we love it! Food is always fresh no matter what you order and I remember the staff as friendly as can be . I would definitely recommend for anyone to bring their family here for a wonderful and delicious dining experience! We enjoyed our seats in the cantina section this am and it was quite pleasant! Thank you guys for having us!!

    Best breakfast spot in the area. Big selection of food with American and Mexican breakfast and dinners. I went with the chilaquiles and it was very good. Different than what I was told was traditional chilaquiles but it was still good. The portions were huge as well. This place is a bit more expensive than other breakfast spots but it's worth the extra $1-2.

    This place has an enormous menu and a little bit of everything on it. When we went it was a Monday at brunch time and it was absolutely packed. We only waited about 10 minutes to be seated but we waited over an hour for our food which I didn't really mind because I wasn't in a hurry, and the food was good. Our waitress was friendly, but she had too many tables for one person. This is very likely not her fault, so all things considered she was very nice and did her best. My only complaints were that my drink was empty for a long time because she was so busy. The other complaint is that their men's bathroom was disgusting. A place this big with such a tiny restroom shouldn't even be legal with the health department, and even if it is, someone needs to check it more often especially now a days. So - stay out of the bathrooms and you'll enjoy it here.

    Went there for breakfast this morning on Sunday with my husband to dine in. Did not have a good experience. Was told wait time would be 20mins name got called in 10mins which was nice. Once our food came to our table I noticed there was a small bug in my biscuits and gravy. Looked like either a small roach or ant. We notified the waitress Erika and had a new plate made. Flies buzzing on us the whole time and around our food. They were trying to make me pay the regular price on my bill with no discount from having a bug in my food. Manager Alba ended up discounting me by only $2.39. I will never eat here again.

    The food was so delicious. Hands down the best French toast, pastrami and waffles I’ve ever tried. Everything was made very fresh. I definitely recommend eating here if you’re passing through, it’s nice quiet and clean. However, I also got a chicken burrito, I didn’t like it, it was very dry.

    Food was great and the servers were very attentive. This was my first time going and I only got to try the lunch menu and everyone was happy with their dishes. I am definitely coming back and I recommend trying their Western Bacon Cheeseburger if you stop by.

    Food was good, service was not the best, i went to use the restroom and I overhead the waitress tell the other waitress, she hasn’t checked out make sure she doesn’t leave. I was so offended.. I get it’s the nature of the business but at least don’t say it front of the customer.. and when I came back it took forever to get checked out lol the irony

    Omg I really enjoyed my food. I ordered over medium eggs and made to perfection. The turkey sausage was amazing had great flavor. Biscuits and gravy omg I love one of the best biscuits and gravy ever ! French toast was so good you didn’t even need syrup. But let me tell you the syrup was WARM!! That was special ! Pancakes are amazing as well definitely somewhere I will return to. Also the service was amazing they were very informed on the menu and they were super sweet all the ladies working there.

    Please stop by here on our way home Arizona from Disneyland, California. Really like the service. She was very attentive. She came by to ask us if we needed to refill our coffee at least five times the time we were there. She knew the menu thoroughly and even gave us good recommendations. We stop by for breakfast with the kids at pancakes and the green chile omelette was my favorite. Everything was so filling and satisfying. I definitely recommend it for a breakfast diner.

    Brandon's has great food. If you can get there early on weekends for breakfast before 9am. Otherwise you will have a wait for a table. I had the mixed berry crepes so goood.

    Our first visit, and we don't have high expectations but it is unlikely we will return. Service was just ok, my drink sat empty for a long time before it was refilled. No one checked on us or let us know the status of our order. It was 40 minutes from sitting down to getting our food, which is not reasonable at all, especially if no one has checked on us. We actually began discussion of just cancelling our food and leaving but that's when our food came out. My albondigas soup was just slightly above warm. It was a bigger portion than I expected and had good flavor but I wish it had been hot. My salad was huge, again a pleasant surprise, and well prepared. I had to ask several times for the bread that is supposed to come with it, and finally ended up asking for it to go. My daughter's food arrived incomplete so she had to wait for the rest of it, but she said it was very tasty. She had chicken tenders and fries. The drinks were very big, a huge plus. The server apologized for the kitchen, which I don't particularly care for, it feels like passing the buck. They were busy and I understand that, it's the lack of service we received that makes my rating not a high one.

    Brandon’s diner. We had the steak and chicken fajita combo, and a fried zucchini appetizer, along with the free chips and salsa. We had the fajita plate done as a special order. Normally in addition to the rice you see here, it would include beans, sour cream and guacamole. We chose to not have those items. Service: the service on the day of our visit was great. It was a little slow and later in the evening, so not many customers in there, we got our food quicker than expected, and exactly as requested. The fried zucchini came so fast that we both hadn’t finished washing our hands yet by the time it came! The food temperature: served HOT, even the chips were still warm. The fajitas were sizzling (in the live photo version of this, you can hear the sizzle), the zucchini had to rest for a couple minutes, the rice and tortillas were a good temperature too. Consistency: everything was consistent all the way through the meal. No bad zucchini, no bad veggies or chicken, nothing undercooked, nor overcooked. Rice was perfect. Portion size: very generous serving of zucchini. We ended up taking most of this home and it reheated nicely in the air fryer as a side for 2 additional meals over the next few days. The fajitas were filling without being stuffing, for 2. Flavor: here is where they earned the 5 stars. These fajitas were GOOD. I mean, sopping up the juices with the leftover tortilla, good. I’m normally one to ask for extra lemon wedges to squeeze on the meat to add some flavor. But I didn’t need to do a thing. I couldn’t get enough of the flavor of whatever they marinated and cooked the fajita in. I took one bite and was hooked. My wife and I had been debating trying Brandon’s at several locations over the years, but never got around to it. Even once, pulling into the parking lot and deciding to go to somewhere more familiar. But now we are hooked. This meal was that good. Our only regret is that we didn’t try Brandon’s sooner. If all their dishes are made with this much care and flavor, we look forward to trying even more offerings.
