First thing I noticed was how homey and warm this diner felt. Like walking into someone's house. Wait was a little slow and they seemed pretty busy on a Saturday morning around 11. The service wasn't bad but you could tell they were all quite preoccupied. Food was good! The cinnamon roll came out hot and dripping with melted frosting. It was enjoyable. Also tried the McDuff's mash and the biscuits and gravy breakfast. Both were quite heavy and warm and very filling. Neither of us could finish more than half. I liked both just fine but can't really say I'll be back anytime soon. read more

The food is amazing. I hope they never get rid of their dish washer because we go ALL THE TIME and there is never a dirty plate or piece of silverware. The staff is amazing, we love them all. The cooks are awesome too and always make us feel welcome. Order literally anything off the menu and you will leave happy with a full belly. I do recommend the pancakes and OJ. So delicious! Bring your family and tip your waitress well. read more

They have awesome food !!!! The service on the other hand could be a little better. The place is veryyy small and tends to be packed on the weekends but it's worth the wait. The food is great literally everything on the menu is worth the try. One thing I absolutely love is their orange juice. You can tell it is fresh and it reminds me of juice from my country the Dominican Republic. I love the natural sweetness and the little bit of pulp. There are about 3 waiters and they didn't check on us once we recieved our order and once you receive your check you have to pay the the register which isn't a problem. But I believe they should have a little better service but over all the food is great the resturant it's self is great. I come here all the time and plan on coming back often! I'm surprised they don't have more reviews everyone should know about this place ! :) read more

McDuff's - Bacon, scrambled eggs with cheese, eggs over medium, fries, home fries, and blueberry pancakes yummy :) - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redlands, California

My boyfriend and I love trying diners all over the place and since he lives nearby, we decided to try McDuffs. We were so happily surprised-- the food was amazing, our waitress was super nice and easy going, food was fairly priced, no wait in a small space, and the restaurant was clean & modern but still had a warm, homey feel. Plus, the surrounding area was nice to walk around even on the hottest day (uh 110 degrees). We did street parking a block away and had a great time walking off breakfast and checking out the little bakeries and boutiques on the way back to the car. We used to regular Redlands Family Restaurant, but I we've definitely found our new go-to spot! read more

A small hometown diner with great food. Have only tried breakfast but they have everything. The biscuits and gravy are the best. Service is good. Only problem is how small it is. Sometimes hard to maneuver, especially with kids, and tables get taken up fast so there is usually a short wait. Not worth removing a star as they can't help that! Will definitely return. read more

The burgers my wife and I had were delicious, very juicy. Cooked how we ordered them. The food came out in a timely fashion. Our waitress was very friendly. Checked in on us to make sure that we had everything we needed. I wish I could remember her name. We'll definitely be back. read more

Came here for brunch and it was exactly what you'd think it would be, diner style breakfast. That being said I wasn't raving about it or complaining about it when I left. Entirely middle of the road breakfast eatery in Redlands. The waitress was very efficient and sweet. read more

So I never or rarely review businesses because frankly it's not usually worth the time but in this case, I'm pretty upset. I don't like to bring race into the conversation unless I feel it is necessary and very likely to have affected the situation. When I went in to make a to go order there were 2 white (one young, one middle aged) waitresses. I was not "warmly" greeted, in fact the one at the register barely glanced up when she asked if I needed help but she was clearly doing something so I understood and said "Id like to place a to go order but you're good, take your time"..and they did. The younger girl walked away and after a minute or two the older one gave me a menu, took my order, said it would be out in a few. All very matter of fact but whatever, that's fine. While sitting and waiting, I did notice that their interactions with the cooks (two Latino men) seemed condescending. One cook smiled a bit eventually but the other one clearly didn't find anything funny and didn't want to talk to her. Again, I let it slide, idk their dynamic or situation. When my food was ready, the older waitress walked past my order and the younger girl and said something like "That to go is for you, I have to go *blah blah blah*" and walked away with her notepad to take another order I guess. The girl placed my burrito on the counter by me without a word, I politely said thank you and she said "mhm" again not looking at me or saying nothing else, walking straight over to take the order of a white couple while warmly greeting them. I am Latina, I have golden olive skin, and every other person eating in that diner today was white and was acknowledged and that's not okay. My motivation for this review is that the owner reads it and understands how these waitresses are affecting their business. If this behavior is in accordance with your values, by all means, do nothing and allow them to treat certain PATRONS OF YOUR BUSINESS like trash. If it is not in accordance, please check them and possibly replace them by individuals who are more mature. What saved this review from one star was the fact that my burrito is fantastic. ¡Muchas gracias a mis hermanos cocinanado! read more

Food was delicious. service was awesome. It's a small place. but it's awesome. the only thing was I didn't like cold salsa on hot food. 5 from me. read more

This breakfast/lunch diner was too small. There is not enough space to eat comfortably. I was also disappointed with my breakfast. The ham and cheddar didn't have much flavor, and the ham was not a thick slice that you normally get at a diner. The coffee however was pretty smooth. read more

McDuff's - This was a ham and cheddar sandwich made with French toast. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Redlands, California

Food is really good! The staff there is amazing as well. Anything you order there is so filling. Also their cheesecake is superb!

McDuff's was a terrific find. The service was amazing and the food was really good. My two granddaughters loved their breakfast, too. We will be back in the near future, for sure. read more

Tasty breakfast and cozy setting. Nice staff, good portions. Was good!! Very popular and busy. So get there early.

First timers here! Hubby liked the steak and eggs, I had the scrambler plate with ham mushrooms and peppers. Very good but too much to eat! Waitress was nice . She seemed a bit rushed maybe. Didnt seem real happy :( But it's ok. Hubby said you never know what's going on in someone's life...she did her job well. :) We'd come back! read more

This lil place was awesome! We walked it and was immediately greeted and seated. Our waitress was over right away and coffee was on the table before we knew it. We ordered a omelette to share with green chilies,onions,tomatoes, and jack cheese. It also came with home fries and toast. It was delicious. Coffee was good too! read more

I love McDuffs, been coming here for years. But, I really hate the wait staff. Bad attitude. This really ruins it for me. Wanted to eat there Saturday morning, the waitress gave attitude when we told her a party of six. I went back today to order a salad to go, the waitress that took my order was salty, looked like it was painful for her to smile at me . When I went back to pick it up her attitude was worse, maybe because I didn't tip her? Not tipping anyone with a poor attitude!!! Probably won't ever go back. This is unfortunate. read more

Great food! I ordered the hash, huge portions. My husband got the steak and eggs that were delicious. Our four kids got biscuits and gravy and eggs and bacon-all delicious and filled them up! No complaints. It is a small place so our kids sat at the table and my husband and I sat at the counter-it didn't bother us at all. The staff was great as well and even complimented on our well behaved kids. We will definitely come back! read more

Amazing customer service. I wish I would've got the waitress name she was so sweet! It's small but cozy. The food was great! My husband ordered two big pancakes and I ordered a veggie grilled sandwich. I wish I would've took pictures. It was delicious. I will come back soon! read more

I stopped by for the first time for breakfast after a hike. Absolutely delicious. Had the steak breakfast with a side of waffles. Totally ruined my morning hike session, but very (tasty and) well worth it! Thanks to the awesome staff. read more

My favorite local breakfast spot over the years, I can't wait for them to reopen. Chili and eggs, McDuffs scramble, McDuffs hash, the monte cristo are all among my top favorites and you have to get the orange juice while your here. read more

I came here by accident a couple years ago. Never forgot how good it was. It's a little hole in the wall around the corner from the Redlands record store. the food was fast and tasty. Reasonably priced and service was great. read more

Sad to say my 1st Time was not a good experience.. Ordered Eggs Benedict and wasn't very good. Eggs were over cooked & service was non existent. I understand people have bad days but living in Redlands there are far too many options for breakfast to have this go on. Hopefully IF there's a next time it will be better read more

I decided to try this place for breakfast. Place is very small. If you have a party larger than 4 then good luck. We had a party of 5.... one of us has to sit in the aisle. I ordered the Eggs Benedict... They came with home potatoes. It was okay. They don't have any substitutions for PORK product unfortunately (ie turkey bacon instead of Canadian bacon). The rest of the party didn't care for the food either. Not too much flavor and was kind of just okay. Service seemed hectic and overwhelmed and not too friendly. I doubt I'll try this place again. read more

Went to have breakfast with my daughter and everything started off good we got seated got our drinks and ordered our food. The waitress was a little shot with us but I took as they are busy. After getting our food none of the stuff acknowledged us again. The customers next to us was offered more coffee but me. So I asked and it was topped off, but not without a look of annoyance. Once we were done we just sat there. Never once were we asked if everything was okay or did we need anything. The servers checked on all the tables around us but not us. So I go to ask for my check after sitting for about 15 minutes after we were done. I only sat that long because I was told I had to wait for the other waitress to be done with another table. Once she came around she said she lost my check. I will never go back. The Service sucks! read more

It was a nice cute small dining place. No outdoor patio. Coffee was good. Salsa was flavorful. Food was good, nothing I would come back for but no complaints just average. Portion for price are small so nothing was taken to go like most breakfast places I end up at read more

We went around lunch time, walked right in and found a table. The place is rather small but has a cozy small town diner feel to it. My boys ordered the French toast breakfast and I ordered egg whites and 1/2 a grapefruit. The French toast was amazing.!! AMAZING!!! They where very large portions which also included a large helping of eggs and bacon. I can't wait to go back and order something new. read more

Food was excellent same as the service. Nice blend of continental and Latin breakfast and lunch styles. Everything was very moderately priced and came out with very little time. Couldn't get our waitresses name but she was very well informed and helpful. 10/10 would recommend read more

If you want to bring children to breakfast, this is not your place. No high chairs or kids menus. This needs to be advertised. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the server was put out that we were eating breakfast at this diner. When we arrived the server asked us to step back so she could put the rug out. 3 adults 6,4,2 and one year old with us. Told us she couldn't put two tables together and we would have to sit separately. My daughter got all of her kids up to get with their grandpa for breakfast. All dressed for school and well behaved the entire time. 6 and 4 year old sat at the counter. The server was putting silverware down and the 4 year old took the spoon off the table and the server grabbed it from her. I can make this up. My daughter and husband saw this, I did not. I would have got up and left. It was apparent that she either 1. Didn't want the business or 2. was still asleep. I still left a 10% tip normally 20 % is what I leave. Will not be coming back. Should have went down the road to the breakfast shack. Oh and we were the only ones there this morning at 7am so she wasn't swamped by customers and now I know why no one was there. Avoid this diner. read more

After 20 years I wIll never go to McDuff's again the staff is Rude. Beyond rude. It was poring rain they had 3 empty tables and made us stand in the freezing rain until they got around to cleaning the tables asked to sit at table till they could cleanup and they would rather us get wet and freeze then take care of a long term customer. The owner needs to find a new staff will never go back to the rude staff at McDuff' Stay away better food and service anywhere else read more

This restaurant is excellent. Very good food and top notch service. Could not have been more pleasant. Thank you! read more

Love the atmosphere but there food and coffee are a little on the bland side. They need to replace their coffee with Boyd's Coffee and replace home fries with good old American hash browns. read more

OMG amazing!!!! Didn't even finish my soda. Maybe only had a couple sips because I wanted to fill my stomach with the food! Steak was cooked to perfection and not a lot of places can do that read more

The women's bathroom was disgusting. There were no paper towels, no toilet seat covers (not even a dispenser for them). I was able to get the last four sheets of TP, but had to stand to pee. The health dept should investigate. The walls and floor (and especially the toilet) were so dirty. It was scary and I have cancer. Re: the food. My chicken salad was delish & totally fresh. The fries may be some of the best I've ever eaten. My husband enjoyed his eggs Benedict but said the hollandaise was just so-so. Had the bathroom been clean, I would definately go back......but it was filthy and so I can't go back. Too DIRTY! read more

The omelettes were delicious. Cinnamon roll hit the spot. This place is small but cozy. Waitressing staff are young but helpful. Average breakfast cost about $10-$12 per meal. If in the area, I'd come again read more

Not child friendly. Don't even think about walking in with stroller because staff will be rude to you.

First time coming here for breakfast and it did not disappoint! Waitress was super friendly and we were sat right away. I ordered the McDuff Hash with eggs over medium and added avocado with sourdough toast, it was delicious! My boyfriend ordered a scramble. Our drinks were refilled promptly and waitress was attentive. Prices are very reasonable!! We will be back! read more

Needed a spot off of the freeway to eat a quick breakfast and after spending too long searching yelp I finally decided on McDuff's. I am so happy to say that this was thee perfect choice. I ordered the two egg breakfast and my wife ordered the breakfast burrito and holy wow - both meals were incredibly tasty and filling. The burrito was super good and the potatoes were perfectly cooked. Service was 10/10 and while no you can't get an espresso here, you sure can get an amazing breakfast experience. read more
