First time eating in Downey, I've had food in one in Arizona completely different experience. This place was lonely literally three tables but yet the server was very rude. Don't know if she was having a bad day. Whatever the issue was I was just so disappointed. It was my baby's ninth birthday didn't even ask why is she wearing a button that says birthday girl. She never even asked oh! Its your birthday!? nothing...didn't even bring the ice cream that the kids get for free. very disappointed on the waitress I hope and pray ... read more

The service here is bottom line, the servers argue in front of customers, they never check on tables. We have come multiple times to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it has remained the same. The food is mediocre, if you need anything you're better off going to the counter than waiting for a server to come by and help you.

I am very disappointed at the customer service I have received from this server named Mike he was very disgustingly rude and I heard him make a LOUD racist remark & it made my time here unpleasant he didn't even do his job he was making people bring us our food while he was yelling at a coworker, I always look forward to eating here but Ima need to reconsider

Came to eat here this morning thursday march 13 and service was horrible. We got seated quickly, but from there on things went bad. We were the first out of about 4 tables to get seated but yet we were the last one to place our order. Our server Brenda came to take our drink order but yet took about 5 mins to come back and deliver them. Brenda also dropped off drinks to the table behind us and asked them what they wanted to eat but they werent ready so she walked away but didnt come back to our table to take our food order.... read more

Not happy with our dinner. Hubs had tritip which was good. I ordered chicken fried steak mashed potatoes & gravy with broccoli. The meat was good, potato's were okay but there wasn't enough gravy to finish my meal. The broccoli was cold & mushy. She offered another side. She could have offered gravy but did not, hence this negative review. She came back with a small credit on our bill. I would have rather had the gravy.

Horrible service. We came and were mindful we had a large group. They did not accommodate after an hour, after we got sat down and we didn't fit we asked to be moved to another table and they told us to wait. After we saw a table open we asked to get moved there. She said to wait, we said ok can we order our drink first and have them delivered to that table. she said no that section had another waitress. So we waited, so we saw the table being emptied, we waited. We had to ask for it to get cleaned, she gave us horrible atti... read more
