    Erika charged us for someone else's order
    Amy C.

    Been going here for 10+ and have never had a bad experience. Today our server Erika, took our order, dropped off the food and never checked on us. There was random bread in between my tray and food paper, couldn't tell her because she wouldn't stop for us, AND SHE CHARGED OUR CARD FOR NOT ONLY OUR CHECK, BUT ANOTHER TABLES CHECK TOO. When we politely asked about it she gave attitude and said "so what do you want? The cash or back on the card?" I just didn't want to be charged for someone else's food?

    Recieved great service and prices were reasonable. Ordered the breakfast special that ends at 11am. It came with 2 eggs, hash browns, and biscuits and gravy for $8.99.

    Juana's Super Deluxe Cheeseburger and French Fries

    The service is very inviting and a wide range of menu items to choose from. The food portion size are huge so come hungry. However if you have to reduce salted foods I would recommend not having the pastrami sandwich which we had as take out to bring home. As for the French fries they are amazing! This diner is a must for service, quality, variety, and portion size. Definitely returning soon!

    Mimosas at Brandons Diner Moreno Valley! Come and get you one of these  Thank you so much Erika for your hospitality

    Amazing diner spot for you and your companions and family!! My cousin and I always meet here for brunch and mimosas! Never leave disappointed!! Thank you again Ms Erika!!!

    There are worse places to eat in Moreno Valley. Of course, there are better - but the inventory of restaurants in MoVal is still pretty grim. So you may end up at Brandon's. The neighborhood leaves a lot to be desired. It shares a parking lot with a motel that has hopefully seen better days because in the present day it's pretty sketch. But if you can get past that, you can find a decent breakfast at Brandon's. I had the Breakfast Quesadilla with Grilled Flour Tortilla With Scrambled Eggs, Potatoes, Cheese, Guacamole & Sour Cream. It was enormous and not bad. My friend had one of the "skillets" (not served in a skillet by the way). It was also enormous and OK. The coffee was decent and the service fast and efficient. It does appear they have a liquor license so if you are a little stressed by anything you saw in the parking lot, you can get a Mimosa. And prices are very reasonable for the huge portions. I would do this location of this small chain again, but it wouldn't be a top choice.

    Chicken fajitas and waffle
    Obeyy P.

    Visited this location with the family for the first time and it was a great experience. The waitress was very polite and welcoming. She always checked on us and constantly asked if we needed refills and refilled my coffee every time as needed. I ordered the chicken fajitas which were very delicious and juicy. The vegetables were grilled perfectly and the chicken had so much flavor. My wife ordered chicken and waffles and she loved them very much ! The music and the art on the walls are beautiful. We had a great time eating here and we will definitely come back again.

    Chile verde breakfast plate
    Shannon G.

    Ordered carne asada fries, Chile verde fries, and Chile verde breakfast plate along with two flights of mimosas (multiple flavors to choose from). Food was fantastic, service was great even though the place was packed. Definitely recommended this spot.

    Bacon and 2 Eggs Plate Hash Browns Tomatoes
    Karen G.

    Food was delicious and there was plenty! Coffee was hot and the servers checked on you frequently! They were awesome!! The restaurant is a true diner with full menu being available all day! Pastries and desserts are available too. By the crowd in there on a Friday morning, this is a great place to be!

    Chicken and waffles. Upgraded Belgin waffle with strawberries, sweet cream cheese and whipped cream

I have always appreciated your breakfast service--especially when I arrive early before the crowd--and my first online experience with your Friday Fish Special (AYCE) was excellent. That positive experience encouraged me to order online again a week later. Unfortunately, the quality and consistency were drastically different. During my later order, the fish dinner I received did not resemble the generous portions and corn balls included with the Friday special. Instead, I was given a few small beer‑battered fish pieces with none of the corn balls, and the overall meal was disappointing. Additionally, the fried chicken dinner was especially concerning. The crust was extremely hard, the meat was dry, and some pieces were so tough they were unpleasant to eat. This was surprising and disheartening coming from a restaurant that has long been one of my favorites. I want to emphasize that I value your establishment and would gladly order the fish special again--provided it is the same style and quality as the first time and not the beer‑battered version I received recently. I am sharing this feedback because I hope these inconsistencies can be addressed to ensure a more reliable experience for your customers. Thank you for taking the time to review my concerns. I would appreciate any follow‑up or clarification regarding these issues.

My ordered double dipped Big Beef Sandwich with Sweet Bell Peppers, melted Mozzarella Cheese, and Giardiniera was enormous, and after initially having my breath knocked away by the Giardiniera's overwhelming spiciness, my intestines soon settled down and I greatly enjoyed the melting concoction. The hoagie roll supporting this mammoth edifice of tender roast beef and embellishments nicely sopped up the au jus, and sank under the heat. The Chicago Dog that accompanied the Big Beef was a classic all-beef Hot Dog with a snap, rounded out with Emerald Green Relish, White Onions, Sport Peppers, and Yellow Mustard. For purists no ketchup is allowed on Chicago Dogs! Crinkle-cut French Fries added to my enjoyment of the meal. Diane liked her Fish Sandwich with a slice of American Cheese, and was especially fond of the Cheese Sauce into which she dipped her Fries.

I ordered the chili cheese dog, and I was a little disappointed. The hot dog itself was good, but I wasn't the biggest fan of the chili--maybe I just chose the wrong option. On the other hand, the cheeseburger was really good. It reminded me of a classic backyard BBQ burger: simple, fresh, and satisfying. And honestly, simple is sometimes the best way to go. The atmosphere also added to the experience. It had a nice American charm that made the visit even better. Overall, this place was great, and I definitely look forward to coming back. There are still a few menu items I want to try next time.
