    Tuna Salad Sandwich
    Mike S.

    Pieloon -- I Wanted to Love You, But... I've passed by Pieloon countless times and have seen it pop up on my friends' feeds, so I finally decided to stop in and see what all the buzz was about. The place itself is charming -- a cozy, old-school spot with plenty of character. You can tell they've kept most of the original décor, and it really gives off that nostalgic, family-style vibe. The menu is huge...everything from pancakes and pies to roast turkey dinners and hearty salads. Daily specials galore, too. Naturally, we had to sample a little bit of everything. Roast Turkey Plate: 6/10 The turkey itself was good, and the gravy had nice flavor. Unfortunately, the mashed potatoes tasted like they came from a mix, and the stuffing had that "old bread" taste. The cranberry sauce and garlic toast on the side were nice touches, though. Overall, good value but average execution. Sampler Platter: 7/10 This came with onion rings, mozzarella sticks, zucchini bites, and jalapeño poppers. Everything was crispy and fun to munch on, but it was just a bit over-fried. Tuna Sandwich on Squaw Bread: 6/10 The tuna was very cold and a little too "fishy," and the squaw bread tasted more like plain wheat. Not bad, but nothing special. Chicken Noodle Soup: 7/10 Simple, comforting, and tasty...but pretty standard diner fare. Service: Service was fine, if a bit detached. The staff seemed focused and busy, which I understand, but a little warmth or acknowledgment would've gone a long way. Final Thoughts: I really wanted to fall in love with Pieloon...and while I appreciated its classic charm and generous portions, the food just didn't quite hit the mark. Still, I'm glad I finally gave it a try.

    Sampler, Chili Potato Overload

    It's old school mom & pop dinner. My BF grew up in Downey and this restaurant went through covid, fires, and an oven explosion, it's still here. Service is fast and friendly. The staff greeted their regulars by name. We went for apps and pie for dinner. The next day we were back for breakfast for waffles!! The pies!! All flavors are excellent. We brought a lemon meringue pie to a party and it was fluffy, tangy not too sweet, flaky crust. It was a hit. Stop by for great food and support the local businesses

    Western burger
    Erika T.

    Saw this place as I was driving by to get a coffee. Coffee line was out the door so I turned around and come here. Waited about 2 mins behind a party of 2 to be seated. Got a water quick and my waiter came over about a min after that. I looked over the menu and narrowed it down. I got the western burger without tomato. My food arrived about 10'ins after I placed my order. I guess my eyes were bigger than my stomach as I was only able to take 4 bites of my burger. It was piled high with toppings, including pickles (not listed) and 1000 island dressing (also not listed). The burger was juicy and had good taste. The fries had a bit too much season salt for my liking but I love a good steak fry.

    Roast Pieloon Beef Melt Sandwich

    I've lived in Downey for 40 years and have never been to Pieloon! Now I know why. The interior of this place is cute and kind of cottage-y with some stained glass details but that was one of the few positives for me. The host was not very friendly just kind of meh, but we were seated quickly. Part of this is my fault - once we were seated and had a chance to look at the menu our server came by, but I wasn't quite ready. It was another 7 minutes before she came back, and even then I had to raise up and get her attention. I ordered a side of ranch to go with my fries which she never brought altho she did remember later and apologized for not bringing it. They did not come back to check on our waters until we were about 95% done eating; and speaking of, my husband ordered soda water - you know, from the soda fountain - and they brought bottled without asking him! They charge for that! I got the roast beef melt which was tasty but definitely nothing special and the meat was overcooked. My husband ordered a roast beef dip, again overdone meat. Our server was definitely nice but not very attentive. I won't be back.

    Peach pie

    Delicious pies, wished my peaches were a little softer as they were pretty hard but so flavorful. Both pies were amazing and service was amazing. Will come back for pie

    THIS IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE SLICE OF PIE IVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! HOWEVER IT WAS AMAZING! While in downey, I really wanted something sweet. I am a cheesecake fanatic, so I went to my trusty Yelp to find something; Pieloon came up! Customer service: 4/5 When we first walked in, it seemed kind of dead and not so ...Happy? Lol. The woman who took our order seemed nice, she wasn't overly joyous or anything lol but she was nice...her coworkers ? Ehhhh not so much. I even tried to make small talk about their menu / what was good there, aaaand they weren't having it lol they wanted to talk to one another- so I just ordered my 1 slice of cheesecake and called it a day. The wait was actually longer than I expected. About 16 minutes? Maybe more. Price: 2/5 MY ONE SLICE OF CHEESECAKE WAS $9.11! Yes, NINE American dollars and eleven cents. I think that is absolutely ridiculous in my opinion lol I'm not sure where the price comes from..not the size..:nor the fruit... I'm not entirely sure. The pie: 5/5 My small regular slice of cheesecake was quite good, honestly I can say it was amazing! In fact it is one of the best I've ever had! My partner had no issues with buying my expensive slice of fruit cheesecake (lol! That is not the point!!) but I just feel like most places in LA (Urth Cafe) you get a big / amazing slice of cheesecake for 8.00/ 9.00 and Double the size. But I will say...this damn piece of cheesecake was pretty great. The crust was THICK and made so well! The graham cracker is my favorite part of a cheesecake. . The filling of my slice of cake wasn't overly tart, nor overly sweet- It was so creamy, not too thin- it was thick, but not overly thick. . It was just your perfect slice of cheesecake. It makes my mouth water, lol! All around 4/5 I would get another slice if I felt like splurging. I do hope they hire people who are a bit more upbeat lol but honestly this place is worth stopping if you can.

    I have many childhood memories here. It is so rare to find a place so warm and welcoming, the staff is AMAZING, the food is INCREDIBLE, and the ambiance is top notch. I finally came by for lunch after 20yrs and it was so impressive.

    Spaghetti special
    Brenda R.

    Go for the food...and stay for the PIE!!! It's not called Pueloon for nothing this Downey staple serves up home cooking 7 days a week! In the heart of Downey you can get just about anything your heart desires! If it's not on the menu...just ask! Our favorite is the soup and sandwich combo with the Kahlua cream cheese pie!! But we've trued them all...just for you and each one is terrific

    Everything is good. Food was microwaved or sitting for a bit that through me off. Place is clean and is a great place to bring family. The customer service is great from the servers end. The downside is an older gentleman that seems to be managing or runs the place he's not a pleasant guy. I don't personally appreciate management that helicopters or makes their employees frantic and fumble their words with rapid fire questions. So customer service took a huge hit because of that older gentleman. Food is 3 stars. Cleanliness is 5 stars. Ac is cranked up too high made my food cold.

    Potato California Skins .   We over did it.  We are taking them home . They are a bit thicker than desired.
    Susan W.

    The food is very good. We are repeat customers. Today we had the green chilaquiles. I love the small cut chips and the green sauce has a nice viscosity. I opted for the beans. They were good but I wasn't that hungry . We also ordered the potato skins. A little thick . And we are taking them home. Too much food. The country fried steak was well breaded and lots of gravy. The house potatoes (the round ones) were good as well. The iced tea was perfect. The waitstaff is seasoned and polite.

    Crystal G.

    I went to breakfast with my dad yesterday. He just got into town . Two day and then he's off to the next adventure. My breakfast was delicious even though it wasn't breakfast time . I really do appreciate a place that has breakfast all day long. Attention management pretty pretty pretty. Please bring back the blueberry pie. Love your Customer, the blueberry pie lover.

    Pi Day 3/14/25 and of course we're going to buy a pie! I was a little disappointed that you didn't have any specials commemorating this great day. Got the strawberry pie and it looked beautiful. Unfortunately I didn't taste it myself, I got it for a friend who just came home from the hospital and it sure made her day.

Once we were ready she had our table already prepared. We have to order inside first before you can be seated. Once seated our food came out not too long after. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We ordered the chilaquiles verde, short rib omelette, tropical pancakes (seasonal), and the mango curd french toast (seasonal). The chilaquiles verde was savory and tangy. It wasn't soggy at all and definitely one of my favorite dishes. The short rib omelette was savory but didn't give me any wow factor compared to the other dishes I ordered. The tropical pancakes were so pretty. I only tried a piece of it without the syrup which I think was a mistake because the kumquat syrup was my friend's favorite. I definitely need to try it again with the syrup. Best for last, mango curd French toast was my favorite! I fell in love with sweetness and tanginess of the mango curd. The French toast was soft and you can taste the butter. I wish it was a main menu item. I'll definitely be sad to see it go. They have lots of seating inside and outside.

Unfortunately, the reality falls noticeably short of that expectation. While the food itself is serviceable, it never rises beyond what you might expect from a standard at-home breakfast spread. Nothing on the table felt particularly memorable, inventive, or worth returning for. The biggest disappointment came in the details, but really lack thereof. The fruit served alongside the meal had the unmistakable appearance and texture of pre-packaged, bulk-distributed produce, lacking the freshness and vibrancy you would hope for from a restaurant positioning itself as a neighborhood kitchen. It gave more cafeteria than curated brunch. Service also struggled to meet even basic hospitality standards. Water refills required repeated attempts to get someone's attention, and neighboring tables were similarly left flagging down staff for utensils and tableware. Once the order was placed and food delivered, attentiveness seemed to disappear almost entirely. I'm not sure where the standard is set.. Given the location and atmosphere, there's an expectation of a more refined and welcoming experience, but the execution never quite supports the price point or reputation. If you do visit, avoid outdoor seating unless you're prepared for an even more disconnected service experience. Ultimately, there are far better places to spend your brunch budget. Especially when this is the kind of meal many could comfortably recreate at home with fresher ingredients and more care. If you're going to have competitive price points for these meals they should at least match.
