We had already had quite a large lunch, so had intended to just stop off for a drink en route to the airport as we were thirsty. However, the food menu looked great, so we opted for the loaded potato skins as a snack to share. Very tasty, and properly loaded with cheese, spring onions, and bacon bits. There's a great looking buffet bar too!
We really enjoyed lunch. Grace was our server. She was very sweet. She made sure we had everything we needed. Definitely come back!
I only had the biscuits and gravy as I had eaten a couple of hours before visiting Brandon's diner. The biscuits and gravy flavor was a 6. But I did like how they are generous with the gravy. I look forward to trying other menu items in the future.
This place is great. My first time at this location and I know I'll be back. We sat in the bar area, which is great if you want to watch some sports. The service is great as well. Friendly, helpful, continuous checking to make sure everything is OK. It's clean, and not too loud in the bar area which was nice considering Football was on. The food as always, was delicious!!! My Mommy had Crepes, which she fully enjoyed. My Sister had an Egg whites Greek omelet with homestyle potatoes. She enjoyed it, but recommends just getting hash browns. The homestyle potatoes don't have the peppers or onions in them. They are plain. I don't remember what I had, but I do know it was so good I ate it all! Do I recommend you go to Brandon's Dinner? I most certainly do!! You will not be disappointed. If you are, it's you, not them! Lol
The recent renovation looks amazing—modern and inviting! The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. The manager was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect. Highly recommend! Shorter waiting time in comparison to the Moval location.
Conveniently located right off the 60 FWY off Vineyard Ave near Carl's Jr. with plenty of parking. I've been to Brandon's, but their Riverside location, so I wanted to try Ontario as I'm a fan of their food. We stopped here this Saturday morning for breakfast. It was busy, but we were seated immediately. The menu consists of different types of food such as breakfast, burgers, sandwiches, burritos, salads, dinner plates, and more. They also have an 'All-You-Can-Eat' buffet on Saturday & Sunday. I had their 'Mixed Berries Crepes' combo with a 'coffee' and side of 'home fries'. Everything tasted amazing with fresh ingredients and a great presentation. The coffee was freshly brewed and very satisfying. Portions are generous, and prices are fair. Service was fast and efficient. Shout out to our server 'Jenesiz', who was extremely attentive and welcoming. I was really impressed with her service. She made sure we had an enjoyable meal. The restaurant is clean and organized with an additional side as 'Cantina' bar with happy hour from 3pm-7pm daily. The restrooms were also very clean during our visit. Overall, we had a great experience at this location and will definitely return.
