Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

It's a good place for family and friends. The staff is nice and friendly and the veggie omelette is amazing.

Rude, rude, rude. Just stopped in for salad bar and to talk, Was seated, watched 5 employees ignore us. Finally a server came and took our order. Went to salad bar, and a different employee told me I was using the wrong bowl for my soup and took it away from me. This was a bowl that was sitting there with all the other bowls, but apparently I wasn't allowed to use it. Oh, and flies, flies everywhere.

Back in January of LAST YEAR they were a very good restaurant with higher than average prices, and back then they were worth it because the food was very good and the portions were large. However... now the food is only fair and the portion sizes are smaller - yet the prices are now even higher. Raising prices is fully understandable, but having the food be not as good and then reducing the portion sizes is as bad as it gets. So I will not be coming back to Brandon's ever again. THE BOTTOM LINE: Go to Corky's instead and get your money's worth.

If your looking for a new place to eat don't try this place. When you go out to eat you expect food not to be frozen. The veggies they serve are frozen & the ones that I eat were not even cooked fully threw. The chicken wings are frozen then fried. French fries are even frozen & soggy. I'm basically saying they should change their name to frozen diner. The only good thing about this place was it was empty & had nice service.
(1)Alfonso D.
Brandon's Diner is a great choice for breakfast. The Ontario location has a breakfast buffet on weekends that delicious. You can order omelettes from the kitchen to go with your buffet. The service is always good. I usually order the breakfast burrito with machaca during the week.

Really wished I would have read the reviews before trying out this diner, it was a disappointment. I don't understand how one can go wrong with diner food. First thing, we saw the buffet price at $15.95! For a diner, really? So that canceled that idea really fast. So we took a looksy at their menus and I was in the mood for breakfast at 1pm, hubby wanted a hamburger, that is why we came there. Service wasn't bad. (Wasn't really that good, meaning it could have been better, our waitress seemed more interested in talking to her friends that sat behind us - in the afternoon in an almost empty restaurant, except for us, her friends - a couple & one other couple that side on the other side of us). Got our food in a timely manner, it was all right. Hash brown portion was a lot smaller then what Denny's usually serves, WTW?! His hamburger too was just Ok, not even average. Does it sound like I'm being too critical? God I hope not, I'm trying to keep it real and yup, this is brutal honesty with out sugar coating it. In short, the experience was as dry as this review. :( Folks, even for me, that is just so sad. Went home after & ended up making more eggs, because I was still hungry :( Not a good feeling after paying a certain amount to eat out & hoping to be full. Located off the freeway, do yourself a favor & Yelp/Map out/or Google Denny's, it's a safer bet. I'm sorry, but I feel the good reviews came from being hungover, because at that point even a piece of old leather with Tapitio tastes better when your starving from a night of boozing. And that's me putting it nice & clean cut version.

One of the best places to find Menudo in the Inland Empire. They have a bunch of locations in the IE and everyone of them serves the same great tasting Menudo. They have good breakfast, lunch, and dinner options too all come in big portions. Just for me I go on the weekends just for the menudo.
(4)Patricia R.
This was one of the worst places I have ever eaten. We just went here for their Sunday Brunch. YUK YUK YUK!!! Cold food, soggy chilequiles, FATified machaca, lack of flavor menudo, soggy scrambled eggs, and tasteless pancakes. I was extremely disappointed because it was so highly reviewed. Nope, never again.
(1)Katrina B.
This place is fantastic! My in - laws live right around the corner so I've driven by here many times. We decided to try it today and I'm do glad we did. They have a soup and salad bar that has a variety of salads fixings including ceviche, menudo and posole, There's a 3.99 breakfast special too. My son had a shrimp basket that was over flowing with shrimp and the onion rings really pefect! The place was pretty quiet so I really hope they're able to stay in business. I'll definitely be coming back here!!
(5)Michael S.
We came to Brandons for breakfast, being tired of the usual breakfast spots. We were pleasantly surprised. We ordered the pancake breakfast and the huevos caballo (cheese enchiladas with fried eggs). Let me start by saying there pancakes are the best - hands down. Seriously people, the best pancake I have ever had. The fried eggs over the enchiladas with red sauce is awesome! This is our new weekend breakfast spot!
(4)Ryann M.
Place is ok, they nickle and dime you for everything and you have to ask for kids eat free discount because they try to be sneaky and don't offer it to everyone to review your check, plus even though. Kids eat free you still have to buy the drinks. The alas bar was ok, soups were good, they charge 25cents a cookie for salad bar another hidden cost, again review your check !! Waitress Jackie was not pleasant hostess was nice and a little more friendly, place is dead, no music atmosphere was boring I was afraid to talk at my own table , might have caused to much noise.. Not going back, fries were cold and stale.
(1)Wendy M.
The bartender jennifer is personable, the margaritas on the rocks is tasty and they give you tons of food for a good price. Definitely keep coming back.
(4)Angela A.
I love the brunch here!! They have everything from traditional American omelettes and bacon /sausage to all the Mexican favorites (menudo, pozole, ceviche, albondigas) and everything is great tasting. The best part is you get 5 mimosas with your brunch and I believe the cost is about 15.95$ per person. Way better then el Torito or your average Denny's for breakfast!!
(5)Mrs. A.
Went in at 6:30 pm on a Thursday night. Not sure what was going on, but there were kids running around everywhere. It took 5 minutes to get a table. And about 10 minutes to order. Ordered Chips and Salsa as an appetizer and it never came. Most of the people left with their unruly kids about 7pm. Thank goodness. Our waitress was nowhere to be found for the entire time we waited for our food. Our drinks were empty and still no food. No appetizer. At last our food arrived 45 minutes later! The waitress dropped it off, and took off. Drinks still empty. At some point she dropped off the check while passing by, leaving it in front of my 10 year old.
(1)Gilbert O.
My family and I really enjoy it, I've been coming here for about a few months now and it has never disappointed.
(4)Gina C.
For being average. And really. Considering. They do got a lot of choices. It's better than the norm. But would not take out of towner visitors here. Buy they do got a full bar. Happy hour. Buffet. And homemade soups... 50/50. Like it. Love it. :)
(4)Freddy F.
Never ever ever come to this joint. Horrible service, next to horrible food, and horrible management. The wings, rings, and things plate was salty beyond belief!! Than we waited 15 for a waitress to ask how our food was. They all kept walking by afraid to ask seeing that the plate was completely food. Than they sill had the audacity to ask if we wanted a container after we had just told them that the food was beyond salty. After the waitress shrugged our complaint off we got up and paid. Now, the hostess asked us how everything was, we said of course the food was salty and all she said was oh, sorry... no how about take the crappy food off our bill.... nope they just took our money and could care less about their customers. NEVER EVER COME TO THIS DUMP!!!!
(1)Rosy S.
The service was amazing! Super friendly! A nice variety of choices. This is a family restaurant and kids have their own menu. I had chicken enchiladas and it was delicious! Love coming here! They also have a buffet.
(5)Delseta R.
Came in and had the steak and eggs and can I say "delicious!" The steak was cooked as ordered and seasoned well. The potatoes were also delicious and didn't taste like potatoes from the freezer. I want to try the buffet too as the food in the buffet looked good. I didn't get the buffet today because I didn't see any steak, but the waitress offered a tip and stated that the buffet also offers steak, we would just have to get to the restaurant earlier. I also like that they offer bottomless mimosas with the buffet, "score!!" Even if we payed for mimosas, the prices aren't bad. Brandon's has happy hour, Taco Tuesdays, which I haven't tried yet, but am looking forward to trying. The overall prices aren't bad either. Customer service was excellent, the servers kept checking in with us and it was several servers, not just our server. Anyway, great place to eat.
(4)James E.
This is a great place to eat. They have great food. The price is right for the amount of food you get
(5)Stephen G.
Really good crispy beef tacos. They also have a great brunch buffet on the weekends .
(5)Lou I.
This place is awesome!!!, I've been to many buffets across the country and Brandon's diner/bar takes the "cake" . Portions are great and worth every penny don't waste your money or time going to those other places... Ceviche, Pozole , omlettes, awesome waffles and pancakes. It's refreshing to see a place this busy have such great service!!!!
(5)Daniel P.
I have been eating here for about 2 years now and order the same thing every time. The Chicken Finger, Fries, Side of Bread and a Sprite and it is always filling. When I walk in to pick up my order they are always friendly and greet me as soon as I walk in.
(5)Kristin H.
My favorite brunch spot. Tons of tvs to watch football, friendly service &&& "champagne brunch" Sat&Sun!!!
(5)Dan D.
Just happened in by chance after getting off freeway for a pit stop. Very well run. Waitresses appear more attentative then the usual cafe. Food not bad; better than most cafes.
(3)Timothy S.
Just passing by this side of town and saw a sign advertising a $3.99 special. Being that I was hungry I decided to try it. I am a breakfast guy, it has to be pretty bad for me not to like it. I was fairly impressed by this place. Service was good and very quick I might add. Taste is good, not as flavorful as I would like but still good (I only had a basic pancake plate thought). Overall I would recommend this place to you all.
(4)Jeanette J.
What an amazing time I had with my bff at Taco Tuesday! Nicole made sure that we had everything we needed and kept the beer flowing. It's very rare to come across someone who really enjoys their job and Nicole loves what she does. Make a stop and visit her in the cantina, you'll never want to go anywhere else. Ps: thanks for finding my wallet and keeping it safe for me.
(4)Laz D.
This WAS a favorite for taco Tuesday or a simple tasty (without salsa, hot sauce,chili or other jalipeno type additives on my part or theirs) comfort food. Now the food is tasteless. Today it was cold outside and rather than sit in the cold hospital waiting I gave brandon's on more chance. Steak Skillet was tasteless and worse I was as cold inside like I was outside. So my food got cold very fast. Armando? Waits going on?? Need new cooks? Do something this was a last chance.
(2)Leasha C.
Family stopped off for a quick dinner. Everyone loved what they had. Fried chicken, fish and chips, a burger, taco salad, and biscuits and gravy. Major hit. Only thing I can complain about was the odd smell when we walked in. Smelt sort of like an Indian restaurant. Not to mention, the chairs are really uncomfortable.
(4)Danny L.
So after reading some of these reviews on Yelp I decided to come try this place. I'm always looking for a good place that they have an AYCE, let alone a breakfast joint! Maybe that's my problem. Good place & AYCE at the same place, well...please read on. Reading some of the reviews here, someone mentioned about the AYCE price was $9.99. Okay cool, no problem. As I'm driving in the parking lot there are signs in the parking lot that says All You Can Eat for $12.95, I said to myself okay no problem let's check out this place. I was sat in the bar area & away from the main dining area which was cool. Sometimes I like to eat with some peace & quiet. There was another party sitting in the same section ordering drinks as in beer and whatnot at 11 in the morning! So yeah, if you like some cocktails with your breakfast, this is the place to be. On to the food! They had a huge selection from the salad bar and buffet section. My first plate, the eggs were over done, french toast was hard and dry, & waffles was the same as well. Maybe it has been sitting on the heating table for awhile & My second plate, two hard shelled chicken soft tacos, tostada with some seafood ceviche on top & some fruits. Okay, a little better, tacos were tasty & edible. I also ordered coffee with my breakfast. So I asked for the bill after my meal. $17 dollars & some change was the total. $3 dollars for coffee on top of the 12.95 plus tax. A bit expensive for mediocre food and two cups of coffee. Will I ever come back? Probably but I will pass on the buffet and order something off the menu.
(2)Tony G.
$3.99 for 2 pancakes 2 eggs and 2 bacon or 2 sausage Monday through Friday 6am-11am. Excellent diner style pancakes and friendly service. Nice clean establishment I think this place is an excellent place for breakfast!
(5)Joseph P.
Great Service. Good breakfast comfort food. I had the cornbeef hash and egg with hash brown and biscuits and gravy. Wife had the French toast. Son the biscuits and gravy.
(3)Tori M.
Great new Brandon's every time I go to any Brandon's location it is great :-). I have been to the Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga, upland, and Ontario location. They all have amazed me with amazing food. They carne asada quesadilla is to die for. Huevos a caballo is the best thing there (: . I also love their chocolate chip flapjack. The cinamonn revolution French toast is amazing. Pretty much if you come to Brandon's you won't be disappointed. We will be coming back as usual (:
(5)Jeanette P.
This place is pretty consistent which is why I like it. it is more "diner/ home made" tasting than a Denny's or IHOP, also a plus. The cinnamon revolution French toast, DELICIOUS, basically a cinnamon roll made like French toast, soooo good. But if you don't catch the different breakfast specials on their discounted days, It seems a little pricey, but all the breakfasts I've tried have tasted great. Strawberry waffle, chile verde omelete is great if u don't mind an overdose of sour cream, I just scrape a little off and it's fine. All in all, it hits the spot.
(4)Mato W.
The breakfast brunch for 15.95 was a rip off!! The place is full of flies while you eat. The food was mediocre and at best warm. We will never come back here.
(1)Harleen Q.
Their biscuits and Gravy and pancakes are delicious. Their coffee is good and they have great customer service.
(5)Maribel G.
This is my 1st time here. So far I love it. They have alcohol. Chips n salsa are good. Appetizers are good too. Waitress are nice. My new hand out spot!! Oh not to mention that there are TVs all over the place and they actually have sound! We can here the dodger game!! Yuppie!
(5)Pamela M.
Enjoyed my lunch today. Had the country fried steak and mashed potatoes It was true comfort food. Good service and tasty hot food. I will come back. Thanks a lot, Pam
(5)Joe C.
The wait staff here seemed kind of light, and they seriously need to fix table 21 by the bar door...One side of the booth is normal and the other is apparently for babies. They must take bets on who can seat someone there because I saw like 5 couples ask for another table before they got someone to stay. The weekend brunch buffet here is pretty awesome! There has got to be over 50 items including dessert and salad bar for just 12.95. Everything I tried from the buffet was awesome and I would highly recommend taking advantage of the feast. The bar area looks like it would be a cool place to have dinner and some drinks. There are about 15 TVs here including one at every table. There is a stage here too for possible karaoke or live bands?
(4)Jason G.
Horrible coffee but good food. Came here for breakfast this morning. French toast is good.
(3)Apryl T.
Taco Tuesday! This place gets kind of busy on Tuesday evenings and for good reason, 99 cent tacos. I actually really liked the tacos especially the hard shell chicken ones. They are completely stuffed with meat. The only catch is to get the 99 cent deal you have to purchase a drink or they will charge you 1.50 per taco. They only had a couple of waiters on the floor so there was a delay but our server kicked ass at getting things done. He was polite and we also ordered a salad bar as well. There was all you can eat ceviche on the bar and my boys dug into that like no tomorrow. Toppings on the bar were fresh and the entire salad bar was very clean. It wasn't a full bar with a bunch of food on but the salad and ceviche were enough for us plus a taco. Drinks were only 2.99 for their happy hour from 3-7 pm. I want to definitely try this place for breakfast!
(4)Claudia C.
Was invited to a retirement get together & was told it was at a place called Brandon's Diner. I thought, "Really?! A diner!" Little did I know that it has a "Cantina" attached to it. Seems kind of odd but I was pleasantly surprised. Great place to hang out with friends for Happy Hour. Locals, barflies, and lushes feel welcomed.
(4)Mike V.
I've been eating at various Brandon's for the last 6 years. Today I stopped for breakfast at the Brandon's on Vineyard in Ontario and I have to say we received the worst service ever. The servers were very unprofessional and Un friendly. If I wasn't in such a hurry to get to the airport I definitely would have walked out. I eat out for breakfast at leat 4 times a week I most likely will not return to any other Brandon's again.
(1)R S.
Taco Tuesday was great! Margaritas are awesome. Our server, Samanta, was very nice and personable. Well definitely be back.
(5)Abby K.
I am a big fan of the Brandon's in Upland, but this one isn't as good in my opinion. They have a buffet option which is different from the location that I normally frequent but the times that I've gone it has mainly been a salad bar without other options. They have a similar menu as the other location, but the service isn't as good and the waitstaff is not as friendly. Definitely an option if you need your Brandon's but I'd suggest a different location if you're looking for brunch.
(3)Lala R.
Delicious food for a decent price. My favorite dish is the $3.99 pancakes eggs and bacon breakfast. However when we went this morning a lot of the tables were full and there was only 1 waitress. She was working very hard and did well but it was hard to get refills and syrup with only 1 employee running around. Its not her fault... But management needs to better staff during breakfast hours.
(4)Shari M.
Brandon's has some really good reviews and it's close to my house. For those two reasons I was determined to try it. I heard their Mexican food was pretty good and since I'm on a quest for a local spot for burritos, Brandon's was on the list to try. I had gone to the Dunn Edwards paint store next to it numerous times in the same week and I finally decided to walk in Brandon's. I ordered a wet carne asada burrito and some Horchata. When I got home, I opened the togo container and my eyes lit up. The burrito was so huge and smothered in green sauce. My first few bites, loved it! After a quarter of the burrito, I began to go "hmmmmm?". I was realizing that the carne asada wasn't all too great and the tortilla was majorly soggy. I only ended up eating half of the burrito and you'd be surprise to know I didn't eat the leftovers. I will say that I will come back to Brandon's for something else, but I'm passing on the burritos :/
(3)K. T.
I had lunch here the other day with my mom, I ordered the carnita taco with beans and rice. I liked the taco and ordered guacamole on the side to put inside it. My waitress was awesome, thank you Grace, I enjoyed talking to you and you made me laugh. I like the 2 big wide screens they have and the 80's music was cool that they played. I will be back and bring my boys to eat here.
(5)Robert R.
Food is pretty good and they have a huge buffet with plenty of choices. You get what you pay for, and for your buck you don't leave disappointed.
(4)Tina N.
My mom and I stopped by for dinner. We both felt like breakfast so we ordered the veggie omelette with pancakes. Our waitress brought the omelette and I noticed that mine looked very watery. It did not look very fluffy as a omelette should. I did not have it returned as I should have. The pancakes were ok but overall the breakfast was ok. I was not satisfied at all.
(2)Stephanie H.
Their food is delicious, they have a great buffet on the weekends and the staff is very friendly polite and efficient. I prefer it to the Brandons on Foothill in Upland.
(4)Paulette S.
We showed up on a Tuesday Taco night and a worker did not show, they did not call another worker in to replace so needless to say we were not happy with the service at this Brandon's. We tried it again on a Saturday for Breakfast and it was just so-so. The servers seem to be a little more interested in talking with each other than serving their customers. We love the Brandon's on Foothill in Upland so anticipated this one to be just a good, sorry to say it is not.
(3)Heather H.
My co-worker suggested this to me one day for their taco tuesday special. Well I have not made it in for that, but their breakfast is really yummy. I love the biscuits and gravy!
(4)Terry J.
Was looking for a cold beer and decided to drop by... Had not been in long time, but I was really surprised at the upgrade in the bar. Prices were awesome 2 dollar any bottled beer for happy hour 3-7 pm. Food prices great. The bar staff was very attentive and they have really turned this into a nice sportsbar with TV's at individual tables. The new bar manager seemed to be all about customer service and folks having a great time!!
(4)L. P. M.
Cruisin' down the 60 freeway, I see the Brandon's sign on the strip mall. Hmmmmm, that must be new. Well since they have only been opened for a month, I guess that qualifies as new. Oh yeah! Take the same diner food that Brandon's is known for, throw in an expansive all-you-can-eat salad bar and buffet, and you get this place. The servers were smiling and friendly. The food was hot and tasty. The prices are just right. The restaurant is much larger than the one on Foothill and has a event room and cantina attached. I'll be back as this location is closer and to try out the salad bar. Looked good...
(4)Roxana Z.
So I had given up on Brandon's altogether. I live just up the street near Brandon's ll (the one in Upland on Foothill) and haven't gone back in a while due to the quality of food and service. Every time we wanted to give it a chance we regretted it. Food wasn't the same it was three years ago. We recently drove by and saw Brandon's on Vineyard open so I convinced my husband to try it an give Brandon's a second chance. SO GLAD I DID! super clean and really nice staff. They had a great selection on their buffet ( something that the other location didn't have). Oh yea... Much more room and didn't feel crowded. Very open feeling with nice decor and they had a cantina section plus a banquet area. Pretty cool. The buffet was a great price of 9.99 (can't beat that). They had breakfast and started serving lunch by the time we left. The Menudo was also VERY GOOD! impressed with the taste. They had a chef standing near the food constantly changing out the food that was running low. The waitresses were really nice and always clearing out plates. I would so recommend. i just hope they don't go downhill like the other Brandon's.

Fast service.

There not very friendly but the goods good!
(5)Tamara E.
This place is really meh. I went there with my mother for Sunday Brunch. I normally feel getting a buffet for 1 plate is a waste, but nothing was that great for seconds. Maybe their food off the menu is better, but I don't plan on going back especially with Zendejas across the street.
(2)Connie P.
Very disappointing! Been there three times, each time feeling maybe it just wasn't a good day. Went with a family member, both purchased lunch buffet. "Gross"! Blue cheese dressing yuk! Enchilada rolled up tortilla cold and no cheese or meat filling, abondigas soup no meat inside , I didn't say anything until my family member said her taco was cold, server had just put the tray out, and her chili relleno, Wasn't completely cooked. Obvious trying to cut corners and cooks need some schooling .
(1)Alexis B.
This place is garbage. The food has no flavor and the service sucks. I ordered chili cheese fries and found a pointy stick in it. My server said it was an oregano twig. Who puts oregano in chili and since when did oregano come with twigs??? When I pointed it out they gave me a 10% discount which came to all of $0.50. Thanks for nothing! I do not recommend this place go to subway next door!
(1)Vanessa M.
I really enjoy Brandon's Diner. Food is consistently good. I tried their buffet once and decided to try it again on another visit and the buffet did not look appealing the second time around. I decided to order an omelet and I'm glad i did it was delicious. I always go home happy after leaving Brandon's Diner
(4)Mike M.
Went there yesterday and was not impressed, first of all the service at the door is as others say, very slow. Next let's talk about service at the table that's slow also. Lots of servers running around, but no came to my table for about five minutes. Next the tables were dirty, the empty ones which were supposed to be ready for customers had used napkins on them and mine was sticky with syrup. Then there's the food Meh, it's just OK. I don't think I'll be going back to this one, but might give another one a try.
(2)Mary B.
Really enjoyed this place more than the other two which are on Baseline and the one on Foothill. Not as crowded,service was excellent and love the idea of having a salad bar and brunch on the weekends.
(5)Shakei D.
Overpriced bland food. Small portions on selected items on the menu.
(2)Neil C.
They have a HARD time understanding an order. Asked for a club sandwich and got just a turkey sandwich, not once but twice. At the Ontario location, you have to spell out the whole order. As for the food, Mediocre at best! If you are lucky it will be warm and hopefully correct. They don't use much if any seasonings so you have to do it yourself. I won't be back there again.
(1)Jim H.
TACO TUESDAY! That is what I am talkn bout! Ok, so we did not eat all twenty giant beef and chicken tacos! I did my best and they were delicious. Every Tuesday evening after Roxy gets out of class, we run over to Brandon's. If you live within 10 miles, .99 tacos that are big, I mean real big are worth to drive. We used to attend to the Upland diner when we lived in North Ontario, but now that Brandon has moved closer, we are home again!
(4)Gregg L.
I'm not sure why restaurants that sanitize their bathrooms allow the smell to overtake their dining area. Really makes for an unpleasant dinner, and one I can't enjoy. My friend did like his crispy fried chicken, however, the onion rings were not at all close to a crisp. My chopped sirloin steak seemed to be swimming in a puddle of oil. Not sure if it was from the fried onions, the gravy, or the steak itself. Unfortunately, this was not a great experience. Will try again sometime to see if things change. Oh, and yes there was the obligatory fly pestering us as we ate. :-(
(2)Dahlia H.
I went to Brandon's with my 78 year old mother, she has been there before. When we walked in no one greeted us so I ask my mom do we wait to be seated and she said no. Since there was no sign saying we should wait we just sat down. There were only two other tables with customers and about 5 employees. No one acknowledged us. A service walked right by us twice without looking in our directions once to pick up a glass at the table next to us and the other time why I don't know. After about 5 minutes I went to the cashier and told her we were leaving because we had waiting for 5 minutes while a servicer walked right by us twice doing nothing of importance and never looked our way or acknowledged our presence. The server answer with "You are supposed to wait to be seated" You get better service at McDonalds. To the management of Brandon's you really need to address these issues with your employees if you want to stay in business in this economy.

My new favorite hot spot for fried chicken and pancakes. Good service, clean restaurant minus the Ontario flys. Love it love it. Good prices and they have cherry coke. Please make the cherry cola stronger.

I rarely write bad reviews, but the place SUCKS! My coworkers and I went a few times when it first opened and that food is just ok. On our last visit, one of my coworkers found a gnat in her water and we told our server. She replaced the water (gnat-free). As we begin to eat our lunch, she notices another gnat in her salad. Obviously she lost her appetite, as would anyone else. We told our server again about the gnat in the salad and she just said "ohhh." WHAT?! Ohhh? When we asked to speak to the manager, he said he would take 10% off the salad. Seriously?! In my opinion, she shouldn't have even been charged. The manager then proceeds to tell us that he has no control over the gnats flying into the restaurant. Understood... BUT YOU RUNNING A RESTAURANT!!! You need to have some type of pest control! I'm sure if the health inspectors came by, that would be unacceptable. Stay as far away as you can from this place!

Was excited to try out the new Brandon's Diner in Ontario. Took the whole family there for brunch and everyone was stuffed. I, personally, loved the buffet as did my kids and we were back and forth several times. The food selection was pretty good and very tasty, especially when you compare "buffet" food to other places like Hometown Buffet, etc. I LOVED the tacos!!! They could do a little better with the dessert selection for the buffet, but we were so stuffed by the end of the meal, we could hardly get to dessert! A little pricey, but, overall, a good casual dining place!

Love Brandon's. Been going to Brandon's-Upland for 3-4 years. Love the place. Been waiting for the Ontario restaurant to open since Oct. 2010. Finally have a Brandon's that is close

You know what? I'd give the Brandon's in Fontana a 4-5 star rating because of the great service and food. But the one here on Vineyard, wow. My buddy had just had some eye surgery at the Kaiser and we decided to stop by the Brandon's there. He got chicken strips and fries. I wanted to hit the salad bar since I saw posole, and albondiga's soups. (MY MISTAKE HERE...check the soup container's first before assuming what they contain!) When I went up to get either soup they were both empty except a little at the bottom. So, you'd think they be refilled??? Nope! Another man asked if they were going to refill them, so I sat back and waited. What did they do? Brought this man ONE bowl of soup from the kitchen. I was like. One waiter asked me what was wrong, and by this time I'd eaten whatever was at the salad bar. So I just said it's ok, nevermind. The salad bar was not kept presentable. A few empty items here too. Some salad items crossed with other containers. About 4 guys working there, but not very attentive. There is a very noisy bar next door, which 2 elderly ladies were complaining about. Just would never go here again, and I work within blocks of the place. Go to the one in Fontana. Much, much better.

Don't bother trying the lunch buffet for $9 per person. The food was stale and sparse. Staff didn't refill anything that was out. The tacos are extremely dry because they have been sitting out for a while. We should have tried food from the menu instead but just a warning to others not to bother with the buffet.

The typical fried, distgusting, greasy food you find in Ontario.
