We're also big fans of Brandon's Diner--it's another one of our regular go-to spots! The food is always great, and you really can't beat the prices for the quality and portion sizes. What really stands out though is the service. The staff is consistently so friendly and welcoming, especially when we come in with kids. It makes such a difference when a place is family-friendly and you feel comfortable bringing your little ones along. They also have a huge variety of options, so there's something for everyone, which makes it perfect whether you're craving breakfast, lunch, or just a casual meal out. Overall, it's a solid, affordable spot with great food and even better service. We'll definitely keep coming back! read more

This diner was a last-minute breakfast stop since I was craving something sweet. I ordered the chocolate cake with ice cream, and it was so good! I kept it simple with a coffee on the side. The service was friendly, and I didn't have to wait long to be served. The atmosphere was nice and quiet, which made the experience even better. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

I really dig Brandon's. What's not to love? Friendly staff, solid food with a wide variety of options and breakfast all day. Oh and the prices are very fair in 2025. As an added bonus, this location has some cool "flair" like signs about tacos. You can also watch sports here on their big screen TV. As a resident of west Los Angeles - I wish there was a way for this great diner to expand our our way. read more

I've been coming here regularly for 2 years it was a nice escape for my husband and I when our older kids were at school which is down the street from here. We are considered regulars here and it was nice knowing you could come here and feel like family Today was not that day. I felt completely disrespected by the guy with the bleached hair and glasses. I asked for YOGURT for my daughter I did not ask for a fruit parfait. Somewhere in between that was misunderstood and he brought us a fruit parfait with fruit and granola I told I didn't know it was coming this way and I'm sorry but my daughter is allergic to granola. He walks over to the window to let them know and makes a comment "i guess they didn't read the menu" When he walked back over I let him know it was rude of him to make such a comment when we come here often and how offensive it was he treated us that way. I love Brandon's but because of this guy I will never ever be going back which is really sad cuz he didn't have to treat us that way for him messing up our order. read more

the portions here are very big and the food is delicious! service was awesome. Lalo, you're the man. best damn fries in town!

Decided to stop here and get a bite to eat haven't been here in years. Customer service was amazing. Everybody in there was so super friendly. We were seated pretty quickly. The waitress came and asked us what we would like to drink,and order looked over the menu decided what we wanted to eat. She came back. We placed our order for our Food. She was very friendly, we waited 10 minutes for our Food and everything came out and looked delicious. Waitress checked on us often to see how everything was and if we needed anything. The vibe in the place was great very friendly and relaxed Food was good big portions read more

Brandon's Diner, ooh how I missed this place. I used to frequent this place for great breakfast, lunch and dinner as far as about 26 years ago. I found out that Brandon's been opened at this location for 28 years! So glad that it is still here and with great service and quality food I came here for an early lunch and took my teen daughters )who never heard of this place). They really enjoyed their lunch. The cheese enchilada with country potatoes and beans and the burger with onion rings on the side had brought back so many fun memories for me and my daughters really enjoyed it here. We're planning on another day trip soon to visit this place again. read more

What happened? Used to be okay - last time I went the chicken quesadilla was uncooked with hard lumps of cheese, before that the salad was brown? Come on you guys, pick up your game please. We went back 3 times to make sure it wasn't an off night. Drinks are good - food is not (anymore). read more

I remember at my old job, a colleague of mine would always stop by Brandon's on the way in to work and grab some of us breakfast burritos. They were always so delicious and hit the spot! I had been craving a really good breakfast burrito for a while, so I knew exactly where to go! I ordered for delivery and upon receipt, the bag was heavy because these things are huge and PACKED! I decided to order some chips and salsa as well because I didn't want to risk the salsa being forgotten, because that is what takes the burrito to new heights! I was glad I did because even though I asked for extra salsa, I did not receive it, just the chips/salsa order. I ordered the burrito with bacon and it was perfect. I will seriously get at least one other meal out of this thing. Craving officially and happily satisfied! read more

Brandon's Diner - Chili Chile Verde Omelette - Diners Near Me - Upland, California

This one hurts. I almost hate to write this. But Seriously, what happened here guys? A year ago I gave you 5 stars and today we couldn't even finish our food. Normally someone asks how everything was, but not today. Even the cashier didn't ask. Maybe they already know. We ordered the biscuits and gravy which a year ago was very good. Today I would refer to the gravy as salt gravy rather than sausage gravy. The biscuits tasted like a box mix. I can normally eat the biscuits and gravy even when less than desirable, but not today. 3 bites hoping for a better experience each bite and I could not finish them. My wife couldn't finish hers either. My wife had the cinnamon roll revolution. The French toast was quite good, but the cinnamon roll was hard and tasted funky like it was old. The sausage was fine and her eggs were perfect. I had the bacon omelette with the hash browns crisp. This is the first place to get my hash browns actually crisp. Good job there. The omelette was dry, but maybe it was my fault for ordering it without cheese. The coffee and coffee service were phenomenal. The seating is comfortable. read more

Food is always good. We go every week for taco Tu. Shredded beef tacos are yummy. Also, Buffalo wings are soooo good!! The service is always good at all the Brandon's but my fav is Upland on Mountain. I always liked the ambiance and family owned is always a plus!! read more

Lalo and Brenda are amazing servers! The food was incredible. I highly recommend everyone stop by and try it out.

Had Menudo and it had no flavor. Very disappointed. The breakfast was good. Service was good too. read more

Not my go to spot, but it's good for breakfast. I hear Taco Tuesday is the day to go though, go early it gets crowded.

Came here with my mom and her boyfriend after a doctor's appointment. It wasn't too busy on a Tuesday morning. Our waitress was very nice and friendly. I ordered the taco and cheese enchilada for dine in and I also ordered 4 tacos to go. Their red enchilada sauce is my favorite, very savory and creamy. Their hard tacos are yummy too with tender shredded beef. I just miss the fresh shredded cheese they used to use back in the day. I used to always eat at Rancho Cucamonga Brandon's Diner when I was kid so I'm happy with whatever I order from here. There is a parking lot and we were able to find a handicap spot. The restaurant is clean and has a good amount of seating. I can see it getting busy on weekend morning though. read more

Food is fine. It's never been amazing but it's always been decent. Armando is absolutely out of his mind for continuing with his high prices.

Brandon's Diner - Diners Near Me - Upland, California

I happen to love the decor of the place. Used to go there when it was Mimi's. The waitress was friendly. I asked her how the fish tacos were. She said popular and good. I decided to try one. When I got it, it seemed to be presentable and good. Problem was I couldn't quite figure out how to eat it. It was two tortillas laid flat with two tiny pieces of battered fish covered in white and purple cabbage. It was piled on pretty thick. It was basically a mess to eat. I ate the fish which was ok but the vegetables were old and stale and tasted badly and were tough to chew. On the good side, the zucchini I ordered was delish! I actually went there for that. My husband ordered meat loaf with gravy. Gravy was gross. ( dark brown kind made from a little package) vegetables were big and hard. The clam chowder was decent. Needless to say, I believe they need to revamp some of their food. I won't go back to that one again. I would go to the one in Rancho. That one's far better and always busy. I can see why. read more

This is a place that you come one time and probably never come back to you in my opinion The staff was friendly, nice and accommodating, but the food taste flavorless. Huevos Rancheros Are probably the weakest version I have ever seen anywhere looks like they just popped it in the microwave. Overall experience wasn't good, the green salsa looks like an old can of beans with a little bit of food coloring. They have a wide variety of options, but due to my first experience, I would not come back here again for the food. Even if they have better options. read more

On the way back from a political pin show, a friend and I stopped here for the first time for lunch. A bowl of Clam Chowder was chock full of clams, celery, and little potatoes. The broth was a little thin but the soup was still good. And a Club Sandwich featuring turkey, ham, and bacon on Sourdough Bread was spot on. Service was good; seating comfortable enough; and the food very good as a whole. My friend ordered Fried Shrimp with Mashed Potatoes and a generous serving of tomato slices. He wasn't as fond of his meal as I was of mine. I generally like Brandon's Diners, and this location is no exception. read more

Brandon's Diner - Turkey Avocado Bacon Wrap with wheat tortilla - Diners Near Me - Upland, California

I want to give a higher rating because I do enjoy the clean atmosphere and the quick friendly service. But the food is just okay and a bit over priced in my opinion. Hoping to try again in the future for a better flavor experience. I don't mind paying for great quality food but this just isn't it for the pricing. This used to be one of my favorite spots and I hope they can turn it around in the kitchen. It's not cooked badly, it just genuinely lacks flavor and hurts to pay at the end knowing the food wasn't even worth boxing up to take home. Again I do love the service and general vibe here. Maybe it's just not my taste. read more

The Chili is always a great meal , Sometimes we go for the fries and chili. Everything is good. But went on May 14 party of 7. I ordered my favorite chili. I didn't eat it. It was not the original recipe. It tasted sweet and no longer my favorite. So disappointed. Not happy.. It's been lovely been going for many years. I love the staff. Change chili back please read more

Horrible service and the manager was RUDE. I went in to place an order to go this morning and was told due to company policy I couldn't order a my god son food unless I ordered 2 additional plates since I wasn't dining in. The gentlemen in the front were very rude and attempted to embarrass me asking me to leave since I couldn't meet their order requirements. I do not recommend this place to anyone, I suggest spending money at other upland establishments. read more

Had never been here before and was pleasantly surprised! Quick to be seated, very friendly and welcoming staff. I had the Machaca plate and it was 10/10 - my partner got pancakes - fluffy and delicious. Also, the Chilaquiles with red sauce was chef's kiss! I didn't take photos because I was so hungry, but it was perfect. Cute and cozy spot too! read more

Looks much smaller from the outside than it actually is. Very clean, spacious, nice wall decor. Great customer service from start to finish. Vast menu selections not just limited to breakfast during morning hours. Subtle music playing in the background, noise level normal. Food was great, served in a prompt manner shortly after you order and the price was moderate. I will return as I want to try the milkshake and some other food items. I actually wrote a review, posted it with pictures and I don't know what happened to it. I made another post because this is a great spot for breakfast, lunch and dinner. read more

I was having brunch with my boyfriend and while we were finishing up our food a homeless man walks into the establishment sits at our table and starts to use his hands to take our leftovers. No one noticed even though there were employees in the front. This was my first and last time going. They also didn't offer any compensation. We paid full price even though half of our food was stolen. Also food was below mid but the mozzarella sticks had a good cheese pull. read more

Brandon's Diner - The homeless man eating my food - Diners Near Me - Upland, California

Came to Brandon's for the first time after getting a gift card. Ordered Sunnyside eggs and the whites were runny but I didn't say anything because they were busy and my server was nice but the kitchen staff was not up to par like my server had asked for dry sourdough six times for the table next to me but the kitchen staff couldn't figure it out and didn't get their toast until 15 minutes after they had been served their food. Went to ring up and my gift card didn't work. Called the number on the back and said that the system was down was given another number to call. That system was down as well. Had to pay for a mediocre breakfast when trying a new place. will not come back. read more
