    Green chili omelette

    The food was good but for dessert we ordered a slice of cheese cake took the cake we should have had the Cheese cake first! Happy server and nice looking dining room!

    Erika charged us for someone else's order

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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!!!

    What a great place to eat, the waitresses are friendly and professional (and easy on the eyes), but most importantly the food was delicious!

    This is yet another place I'm surprised I've never written a review on. I've been going to this…read moreplace for a minimum of 10 years. I'm pretty sure I've had just about everything on their menu from the hot dogs to the burgers to their sandwiches and salads. I have to say they're chili cheese. Fries are probably my favorite from any restaurant. I think it's something about the nacho cheese that they use, which doesn't say much, but they are incredible. The service is always pretty quick here, even when I ask for my dogs to be well done. I love the decor inside of this place, because it's a throwback to an old time. Chicago era. The only thing I wish they do is get rid of their kiosks to order because I don't like when businesses replace employees with computers. That's my only gripe. So, stop in and enjoy a dog but make sure a person takes your order, not the funky kiosk.

    Drove all the way from Beaumont to try Portillo's for the first time as I heard they use Vienna…read moreBeef hot dogs with a nice snap to them. I ordered the chili dog with onions and got a side of nacho type cheese to dip it in and for the Fries...... Not bad overall, but the chili had BEANS in it and was too watery. It needs to be THICK like at Tommy's and Cupid's. The fries were no big deal. Speedy service, as the inside was just about empty on Thursday around 3 p.m. How about selling just the raw dogs so we can take them home and make our own? These were not anywhere near as good as Cupid's in the San Fernando Valley on Winnetka.....which has been the gold standard for decades!!

    My wife and I stopped in for lunch today. While looking over the menu, my wife became a bit…read morediscouraged when she noticed that any substitutions or added items came with a pretty significant upcharge. Because of that, she decided to just order a standard meal and plan to take it home. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad and requested a little extra dressing on the side. When the food arrived, it was actually very good--the salad was tasty and they were plenty generous with the chicken. However, the issue came when we got the bill. I noticed a $2.25 charge just for the extra side of dressing. My complaint isn't necessarily that there *is* a charge, but rather that it wasn't stated beforehand. There was no mention of it when ordering, and in my opinion, $2.25 for a simple side of Caesar dressing is excessive. We finished our meal and left, but between the heavy substitution fees and the surprise dressing charge, the customer service policy here feels a bit nickle-and-dime. Good food, but transparency on their pricing could definitely be improved.
