They have a fantastic senior special which is about $8 for a main and a slice of pie...The in-laws absolutely loved it...too bad I am not over 55...ah well only 30 more years to go! The service was fast. Love their garlic bread. I got the chicken and mushroom linguini, which was really really creamy. I dont normally add salt to my food, but this time I had too, then it tasted good :) Overall pretty happy, It was much better than I thought it was going to be. read more

Great food and great service! I enjoyed the ribeye steak, baked potato, salad, cheese bread and homemade apple pie. My friend enjoyed the red snapper, rice, salad, and cherry pie. Our first time eating here and highly recommend it. Great family restaurant. read more

This is a place that I was raised going to as a child, things have seriously changed. The food is seriously bland and way under seasoned. Seriously if your in Downey go else where. read more

It's one of my favorite brunch restaurants. The service is great, the food is good and the pies are delicious!

Took my visiting family to have breakfast a few months ago for the first time and was happy to find another YELP reviewed restaurant. My dad had the Belgian waffle combo, my sister had the chorizo and eggs and I had the Pieloon omelet. They are not right here by my side to help rate their meals, but my close guess would be my dad would rate his breakfast as five stars since he loves Belgian waffles and he ate it all except for the portion he shared with us; my sister would rate hers as two stars as she commented that it wasn't that tasty; and my rating is a solid four stars as I enjoyed every last bite of the combo omelet. The second time I went I enjoyed the grilled fish dinner entree, that was nicely grilled, tasty and moist, and my friend had a special which was also very good. I want to go back again someday soon but need to remember the parking situation is a bit odd... have to drive in and then reverse into the parking spot to make it easier to leave. read more

We were with our friends and one of our friends had been here 30 years ago. We bypassed the freeway because of fwy traffic. They have a small parking lot. We were there on Wednesday nite for dinner. They had a few customers at first and later more customers came to eat dinner. The service was slow. They gave me a pitcher of Ice Tea for refills. I had the Red Snapper Dinner-it tasted good after being in a traffic jam for about 1 hour. Our friends had a Turkey Dinner and another friend had the Chicken Strips Dinner. www.pieloon.com for more info. read more

Yummy home style food is made here! Of course the pies are awesome and I've been coming various times as it was my grandpa's favorite place. This time I arrived with my best friend and father. We were seated in the back and neglected for 20 minutes. Then a lady approached our table and asked our drink orders. We gave them and when she returned 10 minutes later, we found she was our waitress. She didn't greet, engage or ask us how things were or what we needed. We felt like we inconvenienced her by being there. One server did bring us food, smiled and asked us if she could do anything more for us. We asked for water and she quickly brought them and with a smile. If we come here again, we will request a different server because the prices and food are great. read more

I can finally scratch Pieloon off of my bucket list. I have passed this place so many times and have always said that I'm going to go in, yet never have. I think I've never been there because my mom went once, way back in the day, didn't like it and decided to never go back. Yet, something about it called to me. Maybe just the fact that it's called Pieloon. That and it's been calling to me since I was a small child every time I would go to Stonewood Mall or on my way to Kaiser. Today, was my day. I went in and the host was really nice. Decor reminds me a little of Marie Callender's. Anyhow, the big decision was breakfast or lunch. Breakfast is served all day, BTW. I decided on the Shawn Shawn Omelette. It's diced chicken breast, with mushrooms, scallions, and not just cheddar, but also jack cheese. They also throw a dollop of sour cream on top for good measure. I also opted for more protein and went with cottage cheese as my side. The other clincher for me... they have SQUAW bread! I love squaw bread like no other human being loves bread! I'm serious! Hubby got the Traditional Hot Turkey Sandwich. It's open-faced with mashed potatoes, gravy and a side of cranberry sauce. I sampled the cranberry sauce and it was better than most places. Not as good as my mom's, but pretty decent for a restaurant. He said the turkey was fantastic. So much so that we have been home for two hours and he keeps saying, "I wish I had more of that turkey." Service was also top notch! We weren't there that long but they managed to refill my coffee three times and my water once. And it's not that I drank three cups of coffee, they just would randomly come by to make sure it never got too low. The only fault I have with Pieloon's is their parking. You must enter from Lakewood Blvd., but you must also exit from Lakewood Blvd. When you enter the lot there are angled spots to the left and straight spots to the right. I assumed there was an exit at the end of the lot. Nope! I had to pull out and then turn into a parking spot to turn around. If this place had been full, I would have had to exit in reverse. No bueno. Even when I was exiting, I had to yield for two cars entering because two cars will not fit side by side. Even with the parking, hubby and I both agree that we are going back. I will become the Duchess. Oh yes, I will. :) read more

Small place, feels like you walked into your grandmas kitchen. I had the Pieloon omelette and super spuds. Both were yummy and great portions for the price. Our service was great and our coffee mugs were often topped off. But service does slows down once the crowds arrive. Still enjoyed and will be back when in the area. PS. Must have the squaw bread read more

I had the Chicken Stephanie plate, which in theory is a healthy alternative in the menu. I believe the food was contaminated, as I got sick the following day and so did my mother. I had it worse, I began flaring up again and now have mucus and blood when I poop. I am very disappointed in my decision to eat at this place. I am not angry, but I will find out what type of bacteria or infection is found in my stool samples. I hope the owner is able to see this message, this restaurant made me sick and has ruined my life in the last few weeks. Thanks a lot, hope you don't ever have to go through what I have gone through lately. And your waitress; the short hair, short person is rude as heck. I feel that someone messed around with my food. I will find out, and contact the authorities. Sigh read more

Came here for the pot pies but learned they never have served pot pies. High rating on the fried zucchini and the soup of the day... potato leek.. both very good. I tried my moms mile high meatloaf and mashed potatoes. Way too much salt. Maybe they do that for older taste buds? Service was fair to good. You can order a big kettle of soup which is cool. Old school family restaurant. vegetarian sand which was decent. 3.5 out of 5 stars. I WANT MY POT PIE GD DAMMT' read more

Do yourself a favor try the Chicken Stephanie, grilled chicken breast, sautéed in butter, mushrooms, sauce and scallions, served with sautéed vegetables & steamed rice. Start with your choice of soup or salad. Corn bread or garlic bread. read more

I was so excited to try this place. They need more staff and better training for servers. We get there and are told to sit anywhere we want (outdoor dining) we go and sit down. Wait for about 10 min, 2 other tables sit down after us. Server goes to those other tables first brings out drinks.. finally notices us and looks at us annoyed, ready to order?! We order our drinks and food at the same time. With her rushing us and asking us soup or salad? Corn or garlic bread? But really agitated. She comes back and slams down our soup and salad. And walks off. I ask her if she's okay but she keeps walking.. our utensils were dirty so we asked a different server for utensils and asked for a different server. New server comes and ask what we need, tell him about the other server, we're missing drinks, and utensils are dirty. Apologies brings out drinks and plastic utensils. We thought okay it's turning around now... Nope we get ignored and food comes it's cold and flavorless.. and the server still has attitude. We hated the food hated the service 10/10 would NOT recommend. Go somewhere else, this place is not worth it. read more

Pieloon puts crack in their Louisiana hot sausages. Kidding...but seriously I wonder because they are so damn delicious. When I go to eat Breakfast at Pieloon, it's leggings all the way for this lil' mama. I ALWAYS get the Louisiana Hot Sausages(Links) with the 2 eggs and Super Spuds, which are deeeeeelicioooous! They also include two pieces of toast. Just throw a little Tabasco on that sucker and BOOM instant great breakfast. The place is antiquated, and the service on the weekend is not very good. I would recommend to eat here on WEEKDAY mornings, just because you will get fast service, fresh food, and better prices! But honestly, I want to eat some Louisiana hot sausages RIGHT NOW....*mouth waters* read more

Okay it has been a while but went back. No Bueno! Service was fine but food was lack luster. Wife got a soup that she said was watery for being cream based, it was grainy and tasted like dish water. My roast beef sandwich tasted like lunch meat from the super market. The two apple pies were absolutely gross. I love apple pie A la mode but these were inedible. Don't think I will be back. Such a shame. read more

I'm just gonna say that the pieloon omelette was DELICIOUS! I would come back for another one.

Disappointing to say the least. Food was not up to par, got potatoes and eggs. There was about 1/2 of 1 potato the eggs were not cooked correctly. Syrup for pancakes was definitely cut with water. Viva la Dip (what my girlfriend got) is terrible. The meat isn't tender at all. And the server was not helpful. Didn't even bring water. Never checked up and when we asked for the check he "you need green peppers?" Will not return. No thank you. read more

I had steak fajitas with garlic cheese bread and mashed potatoes for $11.99. My boyfriend dropped by after work to pick up an apple or Dutch apple pie to go. The bowl of potato leek soup is okay. Its also served as a large bowl portion + kettle for two. This place is a few blocks away from the Stonewood Mall. read more

I went here for breakfast with a friend on Sunday. First off, the people here are really really nice. Also, the prices are very affordable. I ordered the liliana's sandwich, which was some type of meat over grilled crusted parmesean bread. I happened to order fruit but got fries, but since I didn't complain (and secretly wanted fries), I chose to keep the meal. The key thing to any good sandwich is to make sure the bread is not soggy from the sauce. The sandwich was really good, but the problem was that the bottom of the sandwich was sorta soggy. The food is good, and with some refinement could be great. But, since their price point is pretty low, I really would give it 3.5 - 4 stars overall. I didn't try the pie, so maybe that will +1 the stars later. Oh yea.. parking lot is SMALL, so beware. read more

Came with my mom for breakfast. The waitress had horrible customer service. She took our order last and we came in before 2 other groups. She didn't ask if we were drinking regular or decaf before she pour Luke warm coffee. When our order came she said she will bring the syrup. It was 4 min past and still no syrup. She was waiting on the other tables. I ask this nice waiter and he brought us the syrup. 2 min after she finally came with the syrup. Will not be coming here with my family or recommend this place. But not experience are the same. read more

Nice little restaurant in Downey. Just good american type food at very nice prices. Portions are very good and our waiter was super nice as well as a few of the others working on a busy friday dinner shift. The style inside is very like grandma's kitchen. Small parking lot that is a bit hard to get in and out when busy but lots of parking near by at Stonewood shopping center. All their whole pies were only $6.95 and no tax, so that was nice to take a lemon meringue pie home with us. read more

Awesome food and service, me, my wife and nephew love it here. My favorite here is by far the green sauce Chilaquiles... so good you have to try it for yourself read more

Cottage fries! If you can tell by my other reviews, I'm a big fan of fries. Their cottage fries are ridic. We usually get a side order of them because they're so good. We usually come here Saturday mornings. I get the cheese omelet. It's so good and it fills you right up to the point where you don't need to eat for the rest of the day. I recently tried their veggie burger. I didn't expect much from it, but it was really good. And they use the good veggie patty, not the generic one that's bland. The waiters are super cool. They're always polite and there's this one waiter who's always nice to us, but I can't remember his name. Hmm...well that was helpful. read more

Well this is one of my favorite places to eat. Best omelets, best burgers, best sandwiches, among other things. But anyway try an omelet, my fav is the Loon's special, The tons of fun burger if you have a big appetite. Also the new york cheese cake is also great. Oh I would not recommend take out, unless your going to eat it right away. read more

Tried this place Sunday after leaving this other breakfast diner that was disgustingly horrible. I thought my Sunday breakfast was ruined. My son told us to try this place and so hoping I could recover from the morning disappointment we stopped by. The food was really good. We sat at the bar so we didn't have to wait for a table. The waitress was on point! Fast and very nice. read more

4 stars based solely on their slow roasted turkey/avocado & grilled chicken/avocado sandwiches. In the age of processed meats & Subway overload, it's nice to have a "homemade" sandwich made with quality ingredients. I wouldn't necessarily drive out of my way to eat here, but since I'm in the area a lot it's a good place to pick up lunch. read more

I was just here yesterday for dinner and it's one of the best restaurants I have EVER been to!! Prices are low, portions are HUGE, service is always good and most of them are very friendly. It's a very cozy restaurant. I have tried many plates and all are good but lately have been into the Cobb Salad. It's huge and packed with bacon, cheese, chicken and tomatoes. They even sell TECATE!!! Where else can you go have a tecate and delicious salad?? My parents are here every Sunday and have tried many plates and all are good. The owner is also really nice and friendly. Try their pies, especially the German Chocolate and Coconut. Only thing that isn't so great is the parking, very tight and set up weird, but they do have a/c!!! They don't deliver. read more

Never disappoints ... my favorites: potato leak soup, waffles, polish sausage, strawberry and apple pie

Ive been dining at Pieloons for almost two decades now. It has its specialties such as breakfast (spinach and cream cheese omelette, shrimp and avocado omelette... bomb), sandwiches (almond chicken melt, bbq chicken w onion rings, teriyaki beef on a croissant... bomb) steaks pastas and pies Theyre not stingy with portions but please, PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THEIR MEXICAN FOOD hahah its not where its at. Servers are so friendly. Sure they're a tad busy sometimes, sure theyll forget your spoon everyonce in a while but they arent robots, so dont rip their heads off -.- Reasonably priced :) read more

Sunday may not be best day to come here.. Food was great but service was way over stretched.. Two cooks ONLY... Cooks looked like they were gonna loose their minds trying to keep up.. Hire more staff and this will be smooth sailing great spot.. The wait really was too much read more

Pieloon - Avocado omelette, worth the long wait. - American Near Me - Downey, California

Always passed by this place and never noticed it. Tried it for the first time sunday morning, and for a small place, it was actually really good. I had an omelet with avocado and bacon. My girl had a Belgium waffle with bananas. Both tasted good and the portions were descent. For a Sunday morning, our wait wasn't too long. Parking lot is small. But, it's next to Stonewood mall so there's more than enough parking. read more

Came by today with my husband. Quick friendly service. First time here since moving to Downey five years ago. Food was great too

It's easy to say that I grew up on this stuff. After our family moved to Downey, one of my friend's dad's took my friend and I here for breakfast. I want to say I had the Hash Bash, with eggs over easy, cottage fries, and biscuit with gravy, but I'm not sure. What I am sure about is that's ALL I've ever ordered there for the past 15 years or so now. Our favorite waitress is gone, who had my whole family's orders all memorized, but food's still pretty solid. A bit cleaner of a breakfast spot if you want somewhere nicer than Mr Pete's Patio, and more traditional breakfasts than Mimi's Cafe. Give it a shot! read more

Went once and thought maybe they're just having an off day. Went back two weeks later. Nope. That's just the way they are now. Waitress ignored us. Another waitress took our order after waiting 20 minutes. Food finally delivered by the first ray of sunshine that ignored us. Walked up said "here you go" and walked away. The check never came so we walked out leaving what we thought the market value of the food was and left. Doubt they even noticed we left. read more

This is the first time that I have been to this place, but have heard from my mom that this place was good. Two things struck me when I rolled up, and that was 1) There were alot of seniors in the place, which told me that the food was reasonably priced. 2) There was a police car parked in the parking lot, which told me that the food was good. I was very suprised with the menu selection and the amount of food you did get on your plate. I found the service to be ok, but very attentive to detail. I prices were fair and they did not rush you out the door, which i liked read more

Pieloon - Garlic Cheese Bread...yummm - American Near Me - Downey, California

We absolutely loved it! Their potatoes (Super Spuds) are delicious!! You must try. My son and I as our usual Sunday we go for breakfast. Finally a spot that serves other than just Hashbrowns. Their waffle is very tasty, I like some spice on my food other than a usual Tabasco on the table they offered (Pico de gallo) it topped off my potatoes and egg whites :p, very reasonable pricing, their service is great. The staff was very friendly, made sure we were well served and taken care of. Our first time here and definitely when we are back in town this will be our Breakfast spot! read more

Pieloon - Egg Whites with Super Spuds (potatoes), waffle and coffee. Delicious!! - American Near Me - Downey, California

Service was good they were all very attentive. Ordered the omelette with potato fires on the side, but I would prefer hash brown. Whenever I think of breakfast I think eggs and hash brown so i was very disappointed that they didn't offer that. All the omelettes had the same stuff inside of them, they were all to similar it was harder to choose, and mine was a bit on the salty side. I love how clean it was and the customer service that's why i gave it a 3 out of 5 stars. read more

I love coming here the food is always good and the staff is always great. This time I came it was busy but all the employees were on it and my mom and I were in and out of there in just under an hour. Our waitress was so kind and even though she was busy she still made it a point to stop by and check on all of her tables. read more

If i could give negative feedback, i would. Had the worst service ever. Place was empty and the server placed us in the back. So he couldnt see us or be seen by us. Then had the balls to be a dick about a fly that kept landing in the food. read more

I used to like coming to this place before and actually missed it when I moved to Chicago. Time passed by and I moved back and was excited to try this place once more. A few things went wrong here: 1. Our drinks were wrong 2. Our food order was wrong 3. We asked for honey for our pancakes and got a bottle of honey that had been watered down. Honey is thick, it doesn't pour out of there like water. 4. When we complained about the honey to the waitress, she said that's how "real" honey is. BS. 5. They overcharged us for the drinks they had gotten wrong in the first place. Overall it was a really unpleasant experience and I'm never going back. There are so many options around here I can take instead. read more
