Arthur's Good morning menu
Nayled R.

Small, old school diner . You seat yourself at any open table and a lovely staff member will be with you. The menu is endless. I had The Sampler from the Quickie Breakfast menu which comes with a variety of sausages and cured meats (no substitutions) it was all so delicious , especially the pancakes which had a hint of cinnamon. The ham was very salty and the bacon was burned to a crisp lol Other than that everything had a very homey , comforting taste.

Pork chop  plate.

Arthur's Restaurant is a small hole in the wall restaurant in Downey next to Starbucks. This restaurant is small, but locals all rounded come to Arthur's for home cook meal and especially for breakfast. My wife and I have been coming to Arthur's when we got the chance to visit her sister in Pico Rivera. we got Arthur's for breakfast and tried their butter biscuits they're so good, freshly baked with real butter in the biscuit. My wife ordered the two butter biscuits, two sausge and potatoes , eggs, and a cup of gravy on the side. Then I ordered the pork chop that comes with potatoes and eggs and also comes with two butter biscuits and gravy by the side. This restaurant is a little kozy, and everything is made fresh and made to order. The waitess brought our meal to the table the food looks so good. I was surprised by pork chop it was a big portions that's pork chop. I cut a piece of the pork chop it was tender and season well and cooked perfectly. I enjoy it very much. The potatoes were cooked well, spices and onion. I really enjoy potatoes. These were good, and the eggs cooked the way I like scramble. The two butter biscuits were very butterly when I opened one of the biscuits. I can see the butter in the biscuit. Nice and infused with biscuits were so good, then I added the gravy on the half the biscuit it was very good, but I like to eat the biscuit by itself those biscuits were very good. My wife enjoyed her breakfast she got full but also enjoyed her meal. We need come back again to Arthur's to try different items.

Best roadie brekk in the World, Swoop C up at LAX International and quick detour order x 2!

Best breakfast anywhere hands down and a drive thru to boot! Not to be confused with any other Arthurs locations , they can even step to this triple OG spot! Grizzly Manor in Big Bear is a close second but no drive thru. Heres all you need to know, Louie retired but thank God his predessor does a great job filling his shoes , he was one the best parts about hitting Arthurs, one order every time BISCUITS AND GRAVY WITH SODE OF CRISPY BACON AND XL Arthurs OJ ! All u need to know to die happy,RIP BOBBY BIVL, might even spot grampa ballz or Wolfie in a purple speedo in the rearview!

Stick to the basics

Sometimes you just need to go support your local small cafe with a home like feeling. Great tasting food with welcoming vibe. This place had nothing but locals that appear to be coming here for year's. Great prompt service with smile

Son ordered a Breakfast Burrito and got this $15 Breakfast Taco instead. Arthur's Used to be the best breakfast in town, I can Definitely say that they have lost that title!!! Lost a longtime customer today.

been coming here since mid 80's for their biscuits and gravy- used to be the benchmark of how i compared every diner i ever visited for past 35 years. 1st coming here since the ownership changed. i'm sorry to say it's not the same anymore. biscuits are definitely smaller and different. gravy is more waters down missing the rich sausage flavor. when reheating the gravy it has a bitter taste. obrian potatoes are bland. hot cakes are ok still but a little deceiving as the top of the stack looks big but it just covers the little ones underneath. i am so disappointed.

Quickie ham n eggs, regular item chicken fried steak with homemade gravy (did I mention biscuits also homemade)

Arthur's is a staple to the community. Love the options for early risers (Arthur's quickies). Ample food to share, friendly courteous service and definite old time diner feel. Prices reasonable and food fresh. Gets busy as day progresses but perfect for early risers!

Is it open on Monday's?

Yes

What are the prices? How much for sandwiches?

Hi Jen, Everything is between 11$ and 14$. It will be worth every penny.

I now live in Utah and was just reminiscing about the food at Arthur's. I used to love the diet plate with the Cod filet, but I don't see it on the menu anymore. Still available? I was looking forward to a trip to California.

Indoor dining now open!

Toast has been on my list of places to check out for a couple of years, and a friend put it back on…read moremy radar back in April. Just a couple of weeks ago, my friends and I were considering our options for where to have brunch to celebrate one of our friend's retirement. Toast was one of the names I dropped in the metaphorical hat, and it won the vote of a few. My friends were surprised that I had named a spot I hadn't yet tried since I'm usually the "foodie" of the group. However, another girl in the group who had been here before vouched for it. I'm glad I finally got to try this place this past weekend, and I cannot wait to return! There were so many things on their menu that I wanted to try. A couple of the ladies ordered green chilaquiles, the friend we were celebrating ordered the Spanish Omelet, another woman I'd met that day had the bacon and eggs, another one ordered the Biscuits and grave with a side of bacon that looked perfectly crispy. I wish I had taken pictures of the plates as it all looked so lovely! I didn't even take a picture of my own food haha. I had my eyes on an omelet, one of the Benedicts or the Chicken n Waffle. In the end, the chicken and waffle won. It comes served with a little container of maple syrup with bacon pieces. The chicken was perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle was delicious, though I did request for some extra syrup on the side. To drink, a few ladies ordered mimosas, one ordered an iced caramel coffee, and I ordered the Carajillo. I fell in love with this drink last summer in Mexico and do not often see it on the menu. I love the subtle citrus notes the Licor 43 adds to this espresso drink. It is very similar to an espresso martini, and theirs comes topped with a toasted marshmallow. I honestly wanted to try almost every item in their Tipsy Barista section of their drinks. I'll just have to come back that many more times :) Plenty of parking in the mall lot. It does get pretty packed during peak hours. Fortunately I had called ahead to put our group of 6 down. We went in on Saturday around 11:30. It slowed down a bit while we were eating, but started to get busy again after 1. Otherwise, we might have been forced to honor their 90-minute rule. All in all, a great experience from everyone in our group. No complaints on the wait, service or food. That certainly deserves a toast. Great job, Toast!

I ordered the steak and eggs along with a margarita flight, and everything was fantastic. The food was delicious, the drinks were fun to try, and the service was excellent from start to finish. The only thing that caught me off guard was the price--it's definitely on the more expensive side. But if you have the budget and want to treat yourself to a nice brunch, I'd 100% recommend giving this place a try. Great food, great drinks, excellent service, and an awesome brunch atmosphere. Definitely made my birthday feel special!

In order to honor Cinco De Mayo, with festivities that were okay for me, I went to Mandala Cantina…read morefor Latino beats and Loteria--- otherwise known as Mexican Bingo, which kind of takes the red, white and green flavor of the game. But quick understanding the term suffices. As I entered Mandala Cantina, I knew that I had stepped inside a vibe of Latin frenzy and buck--- it was replete with a sophisticated backyard boggie energy. Or in other words, the carne asada barbecue had adopted an elegant, glamorous and modern Talum motif that hit with bright mellow lights, beige beauty all around and a good time fueled by tequila shots and cocktails. I was sat at the bar, but I was warned that my sit would be bellow the regular bar line. So I sat alone, and I could look up at everyone else sat from by de-elevated sit. I was ok, I had arrived late, I was by myself with no reservation and on a whim, so I took my corner seat and did my best to forget that I sat below everyone's eye level. The party vibe was strong and palpable all across the bar. In fact, I have been to very few bars where the move was to sit, yet, the music and crowd almost demanded that we acted like we were on a club, but sitting down. More clearly, I wanted to move and dance but since there was no space, and we were playing Mexican bingo, we were implicitly required to sit and dance. For those who did not, the party still pulsed. There was this huge Cantaro (Mexican clay cup or vase) with six straws. So like a fishbowl drink that is commong in Tiki or Island theme bars, but in a large Mexican mug. This guy was moving it around while he was filmed in a way where he showed the drink for six like Mufasa showed Simba to the residents of Pride rock. So I am basically saying that all the people in the bar and crowd found a way to honor the old school hits of Reggaton and Banda that dominated the airwaves of the spot. I could not help but beat my head back and forth when Oye Mi Canto played and the lasers of the spot moved around wildly. In short, it was an experience that can be described as lit. The experience of game play was also electric. As soon as you entered, you were asked to pick a card from a large stack. You were also required to get some frijolitos-- small beans, that did not jump. I put all my beans into my card and removed them as my cards were called. I came close to winning, and maybe I did, but it was hard to focus amidst the noise and bop, so maybe I did win and did not register that one of my cards had been called so its frijolito remain on top of that square. Regardless, of the lack of victory I expeirenced I was still very happen I went here to celebrate Cinco De Mayo with appropriate festivities. After I soon sat, some tacos were placed in front of me. They were for my neigbor. I was honest and made them aware that they were not for me. After all a Mexico Hero-- Benito Juariez reminds us that respeto a lo ajeno es la paz. Or in other ways, respecting what is not yours equals peace.

If I could give 0 stars, I would. I'm honestly disappointed with how disorganized Mandala was…read moreduring the Mexico game on July 5, 2026. I've tried multiple times to call and speak to a manager about what happened, but after receiving no response, here I am leaving a Yelp review. This wasn't my first time at Mandala, but it will very likely be my last. I made my reservation the same day Mexico won and reservations opened. I reserved a table for 8 people at 3:45 PM, which was the maximum party size available. I arrived around my reservation time, definitely before 4:00 PM, and security directed me to wait in the line designated for guests with reservations. By around 4:30 PM, the reservation line had barely moved, yet I watched other people walk up, give their names, and be let inside. At the same time, I could clearly see two reserved tables for eight sitting completely empty.I finally asked one of the waitresses, "I reserved for 8 people, and I see those two tables are empty. May I ask what the hold up is?" She asked for my name, looked up my reservation, confirmed it was there, and then told me, "It was canceled." I asked, "What was the reason? I've been here." She replied, "You never checked in before 4:00 PM." Which in fact I did, and security even confirmed that I had arrived before 4:00 PM. Despite that, no one was willing to honor my reservation. At that point I told her, "Only three people from my party of eight are here. Can we just get a table for the three of us?" She spoke with another waitress, and they came back saying it would be standing room only. I asked, "Why?" Again, they referred me back to my supposedly canceled reservation. By now I was beyond frustrated. While they spent another five minutes trying to "figure something out," I continued watching people walk up, give their names, and immediately be seated. Meanwhile, the two reserved tables for eight were still sitting empty. Then I was told, "The best we can do is standing room at the bar, or you can stand anywhere in the restaurant with one of the cocktail tables, but there's a $100 minimum per person." That requirement was never advertised or mentioned when I made my reservation. I reminded her, "This isn't my first time here." She simply replied, "Or you can stand at the bar. No minimum." At that point, it was so close to game time that I just wanted to get inside. We were never greeted--menus were simply placed in front of us. And throughout all of this, those two reserved tables for eight remained empty. The biggest lie I heard all afternoon was, "We're at capacity." I must have heard that at least 10 times. If Mandala was truly at capacity, how were people continuously walking in without reservations and being seated? Why were guests with confirmed reservations turned away while empty reserved tables sat untouched? Thankfully, the game was delayed until 6:00 PM, which gave us enough time to leave and take our business elsewhere. This was poor planning, poor communication, misleading reservation practices, and some of the worst customer service I've experienced. I wasted my time, my gas, and what should have been an exciting afternoon watching the Mexico game with family and friends. I expected much better from a place I'd enjoyed before. Instead, I left feeling ignored, frustrated, and completely disappointed. I rest my case.

From the moment we walked in, the host was very friendly and welcoming. Our server, Natasha, was awesome! Her recommendations were spot on, and I'm so glad we went with all of her suggestions. We started with the queso fundido and birria empanadas, and both were delicious. For our main dishes, we had the chicken enchiladas and aguachiles, which were also great. For drinks, we had the Smoked Old Fashioned and the Diosa & Co. The presentation was easily a 10/10, and the drinks tasted just as good as they looked. Overall, I can't say enough good things about our experience. Natasha was very attentive throughout the entire night--we never once had to look around for her or wait to get her attention. Great food, great drinks, beautiful atmosphere, and excellent service. We'll definitely be coming back, and hopefully we get Natasha as our server again

(I loved how they had a sign on the table with our waitresses name on it. I love when places do this) This place is absolutely gorgeous inside. I love the color scheme, it's very girly, VERY clean, loved the lighting and love the vibe. So it's safe to say 5 stars for atmosphere. -They accept reservations -They have a private parking lot -They also offer Valet parking Checking in was easy, the hostess was extremely nice. We wanted to sit in the bar area and she told us to seat ourselves. We picked a nice round booth right by the bar (They have happy hour every day) 3-6 and then Sunday is all day We started off with -Happy hour margarita (they offer a few flavors and the drink is huge) -Tulum Tulum not on HH -diosa & co (highly recommend!!!!

Coconut Rum, fresh mint, fresh lime juice, raspberry & coconut flavors interwined and finished with mint syrup -Coco Chanel Elegance is when the inside is as beautiful as the outside. Blanco tequila, coconut foam, strawberry puree, coconut cream, fresh lime juice. And then they brought out such a fun birthday presentation!!! I picked this place to go out with some of my girlfriends for one of my birthday dinners. And let me tell you, places just don't celebrate you on your special day anymore. You are lucky if you get a happy birthday from the manager. The birthday presentation they brought out was absolutely amazing. It was fun, it was visually stunning and who doesn't want a shot on your birthday? Lol This place was absolutely perfect for a birthday dinner. I already can't wait to come back again with more of my girlfriends for some cocktails and loved their food selection on the happy hour menu 5 stars for service 5 stars for drinks 5 stars for food 5 stars for atmosphere
