    Menudo was delicious
    Rick O.

    First time to this location. They have another location in Upland. To be honest I like this location. It's more homey and feels like an old cafe. (The other place is an old Mimi's, bigger and has a bar. We went to watch a Dodgers game and just had appetizers.)I have a different review for that location. I had the Menudo and I ordered a large bowl, to be honest I probably could have ordered a regular bowl because there's so much meat inside and the large bowl was a bit too much, but no worries, I didn't waste any! Lol. I ordered Menudo for comparison to both locations and I think the Menudo is better at this location. No offense to the cooks at the other location. The service was great! Fast and friendly. They have counter seats as well as booth and tables. It's located the back of shopping center and there's plenty of parking. The menu is pretty good with many different types of food to order. I will have to come back, to either location, to try out something else. I know that they have different locations but I think they are still a family small business doing well to have multiple locations in the same area. Please support small support small businesses and I thank you for your time to read my message. Please be kind and enjoy.

    Meat lovers Breakfast Burrito!  Amazing!

    This location in Rancho never disappoints. My server Stephanie is awesome! Very attentive. My breakfast burrito was great! Very clean restroom. Very clean restaurant. Love my RC Brandon's Diner!

    Taco plate
    Judy a.

    I got the eight dollar taco plate. It was enough. It was really good Why you didn't get five stars , you shouldn't have charged us extra for pico de gallo. That was a little offset to me.

    If you're hungry, you can add many different sides. The sausage are a decent size and not the whimpy ones.

    One of my favorite spots for breakfast. Kind of a creatures of habit, so I will usually get their French toast. I tried their cinnamon revolution French toast, but that wasn't as moist so I went back to the traditional. We also like to come for their taco Tuesdays. Only a few bucks per taco, the hard shell tacos just like my mom used to make us as a kid. Customer service is usually pretty good. Wait times aren't too long. The restaurant was remodeled a few years ago but looks like a mom and pop diner.

    The tacos are the best !! However, I was truly disappointed when I was charged for a glass a water. Not bottled. This is the first time I ever order water. Is this even legal ?? I was so disappointed. I always tip at least 20% so those .60 could have gone to my soon to be Mother- Faith who is pleasant with great service. It's just the point- SMH

    Liver and onions, the matador and a kids combo
    Crystal C.

    My husbands face when I said I wanted Brandon's for dinner was priceless- but by the end of our meal we were excited for our next visit. I read about the liver and onions in a local group and was intrigued, they were delicious!!! The portion was generous and we both had a box of leftovers for tomorrow.

    I was staying around the area, craving some country fried steak so I decided to come here during…read moreMother's Day. I was already up early so I arrived right before seven in the morning. Perfect for avoiding the crowd. I ordered the "Accident #1" which is a Chicken Fried Steak, Gravy, 3 eggs and includes two sides. I chose the Country Potatoes and Homemade Biscuit. Delicious and generous portions. It was everything I was hoping for and left no crumbs behind. The service was warm, friendly and I also loved the retro diner vibe of the place. I left happy with my cravings satisfied!

The decor is very maximalist and nostalgic, but…read moreunfortunately the inside felt dusty, dingy, and not well maintained once you really looked around. The food also didn't match the menu photos. I ordered a diced ham scramble with homestyle potatoes. The ham in the photo looked sautéed with some char, but in person it tasted more parboiled/warmed than actually cooked on the grill. The potatoes had an odd enchilada-style seasoning and were inconsistent, some were cold and chewy while others tasted fresh. A second dish we ordered came with hash browns, they were dry and underseasoned. The biscuits tasted more like sheet-pan biscuits than homemade. We also tried the "famous" coffee cake (lemon poppyseed flavor that day), but it was extremely tart to the point it made your mouth pucker. For $53 for 2 entrées at a diner breakfast, we expected much better quality and freshness. The concept has a lot of potential, but overall it felt overpriced and underwhelming.

    Great place and even better food. The filet mignon sandwich was amazing with the horseradish and…read moreholy crap the tempura onion rings are a MUST with the dipping sauce was INSANELY GOOD. I am not easily impressed but I had to have another of that sauce. The only thing I would critique is the beef perhaps could have been sliced. If I tried to take a bite - a bit of the fillet mignon tip would fall out. Minor complaint. The only reason I cannot give a 5 is when I came for lunch on a weekday I noticed no one at the counter while I ate. Some people came and walked out because no one greeted them. I think one guy was on a break and some girl was doing something else. That is the only thing I would say was bad and it did not personally happen to me. The ambiance is nice - I liked the decor but my girlfriend claimed it was a bit much for her. Me personally? I thought it was cool!

The server was patient at the beginning and because we were still looking over the menu, my iced tea took awhile, I'm not sure if they were brewing it or not. When we ordered it took almost 25 minutes to get our food. I ordered a chicken sandwhich and my friend ordered a burger. I never got my iced tea refill. I felt like with us sitting on the patio they kind of forgot about us. I know a family that sat outside ended up leaving. Super cute place. Good food. Just slow service. I will probably give this place another try if I am ever in the area.
