    Sausage breakfast burrito loaded... delicious and messy :)
    Jen K.

    Food is decent and customer service is okay. However, I recently dined here and ordered a salad bar. When attending the first time i was accosted by a worker, "yanni" who insinuated I was over using the salad bar and taking to go. Do not go here Do better.

    While waiting for our dog to have a procedure done at VCA Ontario, we decided to walk over to Brandon's Diner and we're so glad we did. From the moment we walked in, everyone was incredibly attentive and welcoming. The service was fast, and the food hit the spot. I ordered the patty melt, and it was absolutely delicious--perfectly grilled with gooey cheese and flavorful meat. A comforting meal during a stressful day, and a spot we'll definitely return to when visiting the area.

    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.

    (I blacked out the servers name because she didn't do anything wrong and I wanted to keep her name confidential)

    Been eating here a long time. NEVER EVER A HAD A BAD MEAL. The food and service is wonderful. They just put in new booths and tables, in this last week. Mighty comfortable I must say. I only gave 4 stars for one little thing. They charge for "soda water". That's wild. Very uncommon to get charged for water with gas. I can't have sugar, and I hate diet soda. So the one beverage, other than coffee, that brings me joy is soda water. Mister or mrs. Manager, please consider giving the patrons of your fine establishment, free water, and free soda water.

    This was a great find. Unsuspecting, attached to a hotel and right across from the Toyota arena,…read morethis gem is definitely worth visiting. Eureka has a great vibe from the moment you walk in- dark and classy. If you're going on a cold night, just be aware that half the restaurant is open from the outside and it can get a little cold in the restaurant. They have a very large bar and if you enjoy liquor and beer, you'll have a great experience, sitting down at the bar and watching the game on a number of the TV screens that they have. By far, the highlight was having the jalapeño bacon burger. I don't know what they put in that thing but it's a burger that is sweet and juicy. The moment my wife and I bit into it the first words out of our mouth were the same-- "wow!" That's all I can say. The chicken sandwich was decent, but not as good as the burger we tried. The other item we tried because it had great reviews where the brussels sprouts. And although the portion was a little smaller than I would've hoped, that too, was just full of flavor and really enjoyable to eat. I tried their red beer which comes from Redlands and that was also really nice and full and rich. Overall, a really good experience. Two entrées, an appetizer and a beer came out to $65. I don't know when things became so expensive, but the next time I want to splurge on a date night with my wife again, I would definitely come back :)

    Wanted some wings and this was always my spot. Great wings, cooked perfectly…read more However today was incredibly disappointing that they changed their wings. We used to get healthy size wings, now they are tiny little wings. On top of that they came out dry and with barely any sauce. We were given extra sauce on the side, but it just didn't hit the spot. This was the primary reason for patronizing Eureka. Ordered a Bloody Mary as well and it seems to be a pre-mix. Honestly if Jessie wasn't a great server I would find it hard to give more than 1 star. Unable to see any reason to come back.

For the most part it seems to be a place for an older crowd who wanna get away from the loud sports bars like yard house. I can agree with that sentiment.It is a nice reprieve from the otherwise packed areas of Victoria gardens as it is on the outskirts. The food is delicious and it prides itself on being low in calories. For how good it tastes you would expect a higher price, but that's another reason people like coming here. You don't feel overstuffed and you don't feel like someone robbed you for your wallet. Drinks are on point! The only gripe I have about this restaurant, is the old fashioned!!! They need to get a better cocktail glass for that drink and stop serving it with a bunch of ice. Just get the sphere or cube ice. Please! The staff are always friendly and accommodating!!! From the hosts, bartenders, and waiters/waitresses, they all do a great job at making you feel welcome! Big shoutout to Jasmine, Ashley, and Ron!!! They're great people who go above and beyond to make your visit better than the last. Come try em out for yourself!

They have plenty of parking right at the front with a couple EV chargers available on the side. They have indoor and outdoor seating. This is a large location with plenty of seating space. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. We ordered a couple of chicken empanadas (our favorites) which we ate before I could take a picture. My bf had his favorite which is the gaucho steak sandwich and I had the sustainable salmon bowl with rice and veggies. My bfs sandwich was good, but not as good as the ones we have had in Brea. My veggies were delicious, as usual and the rice was good. My salmon had a good flavor, but it wasn't as good as the one I've had in the other location. I think the biggest factor is that it wasn't more cooked. The salmon was well done vs the normal medium. I didn't specify but wasn't asked either. Overall I would still consider going back, but although it's good, it is not my favorite location.

I had to show proof before they let me leave--even though everything checked out. If there's a specific pickup process, it should be clearly communicated. Having an open pickup shelf and then confronting customers like that is not okay. Overall - 2 stars That experience was enough for me. Won't be coming back, which is a shame given how close it is.

When he arrived to pick it up, he waited 40 minutes before being told anything. After checking with the concierge, the manager (Tiffany) came out and informed him that they had forgotten to make the order entirely. Another 15-20 minutes passed before he finally received the food. All told, he spent close to an hour waiting for a pickup order that should have taken a fraction of that time. What made this worse was the lack of customer service afterward. The manager did not come back out to apologize, did not offer any kind of discount or compensation, and did not acknowledge the inconvenience at all. Mistakes happen -- forgetting an order is one thing -- but how you handle it matters. In this case, there was no effort made to make things right. For a paying customer who placed a pickup order in advance, this level of service was unacceptable. Good customer service isn't about never making mistakes; it's about how you handle them. Unfortunately, in this case, Heroes showed very little regard for a paying customer's time. I hope management sees this and takes a hard look at how customers are treated when things go wrong.
