Horrible service! Food sits for a while after being cooked and it's then served cold and it's not even busy. Overall quality of food is not that great especially after being served cold

The table was not clean well and underneath the table was worse. I think the folks that had the table before, eta underneath the table. The floor was littered with used napkins and smashed food. The hobo omelette was not very good and the pancake was cold. The potatoes had a funky seasoning. The best part was the drinking cup that had lipstick on the rim. The server seemed upset and detached. I had to get my own replacement drink. I offered to help myself but they said no. This location used to awesome with nice a... read more

While the food was quite good, I was disappointed with the service. Our server Maria seemed uninterested and was not very courteous. She barely acknowledged us, didn't smile, and was short when we placed our order. Service needs to improve.

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.
