Brandon’s has some of the best meal options out there. I love coming for breakfast. You can get your main dish item and 2 sides. Todays visit I tried the chicken and waffle for the first time . My friend got the Maria’s omelet with his sides being the home fries and biscuits & gravy. The quality and amount of food for your dollar is great. My one minor , is when the server still brought us water when we said no to drinks, we had our own coffee with us. I felt it was a waste of a dish/cup and of water.

It’s one of those places you tell yourself (not even after but DURING ) lI’ll never come back here again”. They shuffle you in and shotgun your party into a seat then three or four different people come and ask you the SAME question: anything to drink? So by the time you repeat the order for the umpteenth time you assume the service will follow this rhythm right? WRONG. if you don’t immediately know your food order when they return with your drinks, you will be left sitting there anywhere from 20 to 30 minutes twiddling your thumbs. It won’t help trying to look around like you’re searching for anybody because no one will be present to even catch a sideways glance from you. Once you do get your order in, they’ll bring it without any condiments and hardly finish a sentence asking if you’d like anything extra. Another 20 minutes will pass by. Meanwhile, you’re looking at your runny eggs you could’ve made at home for $.30 apiece and try to smear the entire plate around to try and make some semblance of an edible entrée. The check routine will go about the same-the waitress today actually told us “you can just give the payment to me and I’ll take it up”. Yeah, that’s if she ever comes back which she didn’t. And this is the experience when we do come here after not being back for a few months I don’t know why we haven’t learned by now, but there is a new breakfast spot across the street that JUST opened up. So we intend to try that before returning here again. I mean, the bar is set so low it’s not like you would have to do much to come in ahead above this place

1. Our food was delicious.
2. The atmosphere was diverse. People young and old, in a large group or party of one, looked as if they enjoyed their dine experience as well.
3. I especially enjoyed our server, she was a doll. She had the sweetest spirit and made her customers feel comfortable. Thank you for possessing great customer service and social skills. I, as a consumer, love when a person takes pride in their job and themselves. I wish I had remembered her name.
4. Given the area, the diner is in, I did not know what to expect as far as the local transients are concerned. It’s not that I mind the people loitering or whatever, but sometimes it can be off-putting for us patrons because of safety concerns. The diner was well kept, so there aren’t any complaints there.

Service is very friendly. The food is very fresh with lots of variety and the portion size is huge so come hungry. For those who need to watch your salt, I would however not recommend the pastrami sandwich which was a very generous portion size and we took it as takeout. As others have said the French fries are to die for! They also serve their entire menu of breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day long. Definitely returning to try more.

The food lacks flavor and taste, even the syrup. If you like waffles don’t order them here. The batter used for the waffles is pretty bland and lacking any really flavor. The French toast was pretty much the same with a heavy egg flavor. The strawberry pancake was okay. The veggie omelette did have a nice amount of veggies mixed in .
As far as service had to wait awhile to be served after being seated , while sitting multiple times while other tables before mine were assisted. Entire tables drinks were brought and waiter didn’t notice he forgot mine and he was ready to take our order until I brought it up as I was trying to be patient.

The food was so delicious. Hands down the best French toast, pastrami and waffles I’ve ever tried. Everything was made very fresh. I definitely recommend eating here if you’re passing through, it’s nice quiet and clean. However, I also got a chicken burrito, I didn’t like it, it was very dry.

Great breakfast place!!! Were up super early, so decided to go here for breakfast, and everything we had was delicious!! Starting with the cappuccino and hot chocolate, and then our meals. Everything arrived super quick. And our server was awesome, but everyone was very cordial and friendly. They have lots of options to choose from for breakfast, lunch and dinner, but for us since it was very early morning, we decided to go with the berries and banana pancakes, Nutella crepes, and the crunchy french toast, and every single bite was delicious, highly recommend this place!!!

Best diner chain breakfast in riverside area. Good selection of omelets and skillets. Nice clean interior. Plenty of parking. Location off I10 and also off the 91. Gets a rare 5 star for good breakfast diner chain.

I love this place we enjoy happy hour. The bar area is great for ADULTS! I don’t understand why a FAMILY would bring children under 18 and especially under 5yrs. Adults want adult conversation not a chatting child! I need adults children have a family time in the restaurant area.
