I came in with a recommendation from a friend. I was expecting to have a good breakfast but I was sorely mistaken. They took 30 minutes to sit us with only one party ahead of us. We sat down and ordered and then it took an hour for the food to come out. Besides waiting for all that time the food came out cold and distasteful. There was no seasoning on any of the food, it all tasted like it was cooked it an old oil. The eggs, bacon and sausage were undercooked. I would recommend you stay far away from this place. Also the staff is incredibly unprofessional to the point they were arguing with eachother in the front. It isn't worth your time and definitely your hard earned money. read more

Good basic breakfast food. Excellent service with server. Clean dining area I was expecting more reasonable prices on the menu. I thought the prices were high for casual family dining. Perhaps all restaurants are enduring rising costs for food and employees wage. Very positive experience. read more

Basic diner food. Staff is nice. Big open eating area. Beats Denny's. Seemed clean. Noise is a bit of an issue if you are hearing impaired.

Seriously yall, I've been coming here since they relocated and long before at the old location. I don't think I'll ever be back. The service sucks. The food took an hour. The wait was forever when the patio was open. It's ridiculous. Whoever the floor manager is needs to be removed for the sake of the business. read more

Found this place while having my car serviced down the street. Indoor and outdoor dining available. Good menu selection. Bf ordered the sausage burrito and it was huge. I ordered the chicken strips and waffles and it was a lot of food!! I barely ate half the waffle, and one chicken strip. Best thing is the food is made to order. Fresh and hot. Service was fast and friendly. I definitely want to go back! read more

I am recommending this place because of good customer services and also delicious food. My dinner was a sizzling chicken fajita which came like a meal with rice and beans. I noticed that most of the people had their reviews about Brandon's Diner on Google and that's why their rating on Yelp is not fair right now but trust me they are good. read more

I arrived on Monday at 8:45 and was seated immediately. Had a cheerful greeting from two of the waitresses, and a cup of hot coffee within two minutes. Blanca served me again and she was cheerful upbeat and a big smile on her face. The food arrived within five minutes was hot and tasty. The ambience is like an old time diner, but cleaner than I remember . The music played at a low volume and three television were on. It was a good experience and I will certainly return. read more

I probably end up here a couple of times a month. It's good for a family meal or hanging out with friends. Always good food and good value. Yesterday, we had two entrees and the total was less than $30. I think we've tried everything from breakfast to the Mexican food. We've never had to wait, but we don't usually get there at peak times. This is on the list of places to take my grandson and any visitor to town who wants solid diner food. read more

The staff is very slow. We were sat down at our table and we got our drinks right away. The host was great, unfortunately, I can not say the same about the waitress. We saw the waitress 6 times, not once did she ask to take our order. She came outside to refill drinks for a party that was already eating. They were really quick about getting others seated.shortly after took order at other table that arrived after us. When she finally asked to take our order. I kindly asked for the check to pay for our drinks. She asked why. I explained we have been sitting here for over 35 mins. She said let me find out why. I again politely said, please bring us our check. read more

The wait for this place is crazy, they have a bunch of empty tables and no one checking the sign in sheet.. Some people just got up and left read more

This was a favorite of mine but after being refused to be seated in a booth because it is for 6 not 4...really? How stengie is that? But totally ok, for a man to be sitting on a booth by himself to talk to another woman across, he was completely done but could not be asked to move so we could be seated. I am not coming here no more if they value in the wrong area. They lost a group of 4 for the non existence of 6. No common sense. read more

Chile Relleno Burrito. BE WARNED, they do not cut off the stem of the Chile before putting it in the flour tortilla. I asked the waitress to ask the cook to remove the stem before using for a burrito. Her statement was that the cheese would leak out. I pointed out, that it's sitting on a flour tortilla. Later I thought, oh and the part you cut to stuff it with cheese will leak too. CUT UP THAT BURRITO BEFORE YOU EAT IT. read more

The service was not good. We ordered an omelette and asked for spinach, that clearly didn't have spinach. My Chilaquiles were basically nachos, since it was tortilla chips with a nasty/sour green sauce that was poured over it. Not a traditional way of making chilaquiles. When I let our server know, he said that "people complain that the chips are too soggy", instead only offering to bring more salsa. As far as the service, we were completely ignored. The server helping the other table just had attitude all over her face. Never once offered us water or coffee, when she passed with both pitchers multiple times. Our server only came out twice and didn't offer a water refill until he brought over the check. I had to ask one of bussers for a coffee refill! HORRIBLE FOOD AND SERVICE! This place is overated and wasn't worth the 40 minute wait. read more

Waiter was horrible today 10/24/21 @1:00pm she had an attitude didn't get her name but had a nose piercing like two of them. I normally would have overlooked the. Bad service hoping the food would have made up for it but nope.... Ordered breakfast in which pancakes came out hard and toasty, I've never had toasty pancakes just weird . My sons burger came out burnt and wife's huevos arriba con caballo came out bad as well sauce was not the real deal. Place was packed so I figured it had to be good right? No, sad to say Denny's tops this place hands down! Management needs to fix this asap. read more

We were served old, moldy, brown edged lettuce salads to start off our lunch. By the man in the blue shirt behind the counter. My husband said he was the Manager. The waitress said she couldn't believe he actually served us the salads. So she made us new salads from a fresh bag. And put cucumbers and tomatoes on top with croutons. Husbands hamburger was okay, he said. My Albondigas soup consisted of 4 meatballs, a few carrot slices, and a little piece of a potato. No zucchini or cabbage or onion. Absolutely flavor less!! It was like tomato soup with meatballs. When I had this soup at the Indiana location, it was delicious and full of onion, zucchini, carrot, potato and a few meatballs. We're sticking with the Indiana/Tyler location. Service there is great and food is consistently delicious! Magnolia location is nice inside and outside. Wish the food was good too. read more

It is very rare that I give one star ratings, but honestly this place deserves it. I normally steer clear of Brandon's because I just don't find the food good at all and I've had horrible service in the past at the other location. When my mom recently suggested this Brandons for breakfast, I decided to just give them another try thinking it would be better than the one on Indiana. It wasn't busy at all inside when we arrived so thankfully, we were sat fairly quickly. Our server came and took our order and shortly after, four other tables near us were sat. My mom made a joke to me that we got there at a good time because so many people had just come in all at once. With that being said, all four of those tables ended up getting their food before we did. We weren't given any refills like they were all given, no update on the food, nothing. By this time, about 30 minutes had already gone by since we have ordered and one of the tables was already finishing up with their food. Another server noticed that our food was not out yet so she went back to check on it. A few minutes later, she came back around with it. Finally, my food came out first and I instantly was disappointed. I ordered the chile verde plate and it came with four small pieces of meat, nothing more. I would understand if I had gotten that small amount of pork with the huevos rancheros, but for the plate? Really? $16 for that? I took one bite and it was barely lukewarm. It felt like it had been sitting out for a while. Also, it just WASNT GOOD. I thought to myself, wow, what a waste of money? :( About a minute later, my moms food came out and it ended up being the wrong thing. She just so happened to order the same thing as the woman seated next to us who had made some special substitutes to alter her meal. When she first got hers, I overheard her complaining to her husband that her order was wrong but she still decided to eat it. When my moms came, we realized that she was eating my moms food and my mom was eating hers. My mom kindly brought it up to the server who proceeded to basically gaslight us all into thinking that is what they ordered. My mom was trying to be cool about it and was going to let it slide, but the server made it seem as if we were the ones who made the mistake instead of just admitting it got mixed up. The woman next to us was already finished but understandably frustrated so before my mom ate hers, she sent it back. We figured we already were paying for one awful meal so it just didn't make sense to pay for something with special requests that we didn't order. We got seated first, got our food last, didn't get a single refill, were given the wrong order, and basically got screwed over with the chile verde. I read the receipt and saw that it was in fact rung in the way my mom ordered it, without all of the special requests. I still paid and left a tip, but I will never return. That's okay though because there are plenty of people with no taste buds who will continue to support this place so good for them. read more

Not planning on going back there again my son and I sat on the outside tables like I done many times before I made I contact with the 3 waitresses and they would pretend not to notice us finally one came to help first thing she said was did you sign in I let her know that I've been there 100's of times never signed in but okay so we ordered what I always ordered cause I share with my dog the half fried chicken and I get what looks like crumbs. When you spend your hard earned money on eating out you expect to get what you pay for not here. I miss the old staff do better Brandon's. read more

Amazing service, all the ladies up front were nice and the chef made sure the order was to-the-T how I wanted it. Very friendly environment and nice looking restaurant. I had a beef chimichanga drenched in chile Colorado. The price you pay is definitely worth it for the amount of food you get, and the taste was great. read more

Waited for 2.5hrs and all we got was coffee (that we had to continue to ask for) a salad at the 2hr mark and excuses from the waitress that the kitchen lost our ticket! We finally got up and left at 2.5 hrs and saw the waitress cancel our order that they had just begun to make! Will not be eating there again, not that they really care if it took the waitress under our instruction to get on our food after such a long wait! read more

Can I rate it at ZERO STARS?!?!? Boy, has Brandon's Diner changed!!!! They used to have good food and service, although at somewhat higher than average prices. Not any more. We were told three different policies - by three different employees. One was the Manager. The first one (hostess) was confused. The second one (waitress) was rude. The third one (manager) was fake-nice, but condescending. In the end, we left, after paying $7.50 for two iced teas - and went elsewhere. Part of me is sad that I will NEVER take my family and friends to another Brandon's Diner. But I will NEVER again be treated like that by them. I am left to assume that they make so much money that they can afford to alienate customers at random. Unfortunately, I urge everyone to stay away from Brandon's Diner. There are better places, with better people, that will treat their customers better. read more

Came to try the strawberry lemonade and low expectations. Ordered onion rings and they were that soft fried like a funnel cake not that nasty crispy over cooked breaded stuff. Got an avocado cheeseburger with fries. Fries was missing seasoning but nothing some ketchup can't fix. Ordered a patty melt to the bread wasn't over toasted where the bread is too hard to chew or got to soggy bread. I'm definitely going to come back to try other food options. read more

Do not order from here. We will never order here again. We ordered a carne asada combo from Uber Eats, and they only gave us the piece of meat, no rice and beans or chips and salsa as promised in the combo. $16 for that. Are you kidding me? read more
