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!

Everything was good EXCEPT the STEAK.. No... Seriously…read more This was probably the biggest steak disappointment I've had in a while. The place comfy, the ambience is dark and bar-like, the drink vibes look chill, I have no complaints about the service. The service was good and the staff was nice. All this makes the steak disappointment that much worse for me. We ordered Ribeye and Shrimp Salmon Lobster Mac and Cheese Asparagus Lobster Roll (Sushi) A drink from the bar The Steak.. The steak came served on a cast-iron skillet. I ordered it medium-well. It arrived a little more medium than usual, but that was not an issue. What disappointed me was the puddle the steak was sitting in. Traditionally said puddle is a mixture of butter, thyme, and whatever seasonings you used on the steak when cooking it. In this case, that puddle was flavorless. It really tasted like the steak was just sitting in a flavorless oil. The steak was very bland, very difficult to think someone could send out a piece of meat out like that, especially when you find out what it costs. It was not worth it and not worth the final tab unfortunately. Really wanted to find a steak W for Downey but I don't see myself being interested in this place again.

They have an organized seating system with teams of people with headsets scurrying around. Our server was a little green in terms of his interpersonal skills but we tried to tease the recticence out of him...semi-successfully! Our meal, which was more like a snack since we were in town for a late night performance and needed a place to light, was the perfect meal. Somehow word got out that it was our first visit to this Lazy Dog, and one of the line cooks appeared at our table to welcome us. He was very impressive and welcoming; we were a bit taken aback by the proactive hospitality. He said he'd like to welcome us with a complimetary bowl of their Tangy BBQ chips that came with some delicious dipping sauce. We were delighted. And those chips -- OMG, not your typical homemade chip. Next, we ordered the Brussels sprouts which were awesome and delicious. Then the Seared Ahi Tuna Salad that comes with greens, carrots, radish, avocado, pickled cucumbers, peanut ponzu vinaigrette and soy dipping sauce on the side . So delicious! The tuna was fresh and perfectly cooked with lovely a seasoned crust and pink ahi filet. We still had time before we were due at our date, so ordered coffee, then refills...and more refills, LOL! ( No wonder our performance was so wired) The staff was happy to have us linger. We did not feel rushed, and there was no pressue to vacate our table. We salivated over other menu items, and have talked about going back to try a few. We don't need an excuse to drive to Downey but we'll be looking for one! Loved this unexpected experience! Would give more stars for the braintrust behind the customer experience here ;-)

I don't really come here for the burgers b/c to be honestly I can go to In n Out for that or burgers are cheaper for me to buy at the store and grill them myself with all the trimmings like avocado's and bacon and u know the story! But what I do come here for is their mean breakfast burritos! I literally come here two or 3 times a week for breakfast because 1. its on the way to work :) 2. I get my checks cashed at the check cashing store every Friday right next door so its kind of hard to resist getting something from there whether it be burritos in the morning or their dinner selections at night. 3. I get my drinking water and dry cleaning done all in one place at the shop behind it and once again I'm tempted to go there or Rio's Pizza. 4. Its right across the street from Ralphs Grocery. but back to the burritos! Maaaaaaaaaan, I call it a thing burrito...(yes I called it the thing) b/c it really fills me up, or I eat half and save the other a for lunch. haha because its really THAT big. those things are like 6 bucks ( its a lil' pricey I know) but they literally roll up one giant monster burrito!! RAWR!!! its prolly like 2 pounds total filled with cheese, salsa, carne (you can get whatever meat u like), eggs, and hash browns. Definitely recommend this place over fast food joints though its a lil' bit pricier, they compensate by giving you lots of food, fries, and friendly service. read more

WOW! The new owners did a great job at remodeling the place making it look a million times better then Petes Haven Burgers. The two owners are brothers that focus on interacting with the customers and making sure your experience at Burger Stop is the best. Besides their great customer service, their food is top of the line. Great hamburgers, pastrami and steak sandwiches, and their chili cheese fries are to die for. I had fried zucchini and a chicken sandwich and it was so delicious. And to top it off I ordered a strawberry milkshake and it was probably the best milkshake I have ever had!! read more

First of all I want to say the food was decent. The reason why I am giving 1 star is because of the little orange hair Emo fuck that was working the drive threw. First of all I had to repeat my order like 5 times he was saying everything else but what i ordered. Finally he got it right. When I paid him he gave me back my change will nickels and dimes ok I did not say anything. Before we drove off. I asked for some yellow peppers he said he had put some in my bag already even said it twice. Got home no yellow peppers. No fried mushrooms tonight either .
