    The burgers were juicy and well done. Full of flavor, delicious and great service. Love their motto,"fast food not sold here." You will wait, but remember its fresh and made to order. I definitely recommend.

    Grub Bacon Burger with a side of crinkle cut seasoned fries.

    This place has some of the best ANGUS SMASH STYLE BURGERS in town. Angus beef, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion on a brioche bun. Added bacon to my burger for some added flavor with a side of crinkle cut seasoned fries. Staff is friendly. Small outdoor dining space with a few stools and some countertop space. Music station playing in the background makes it enjoyable whether dining in or waiting for your takeout. Definitely a "No Regrets" must try burger spot.

    Gorgeous Grub Burger with Well Seasoned Crinkle Cut Fries
    Scott W.

    Your favorite Yelp correspondent is a big believer in symbols and mythology, perhaps owing to how I minored in English at USC several moons ago. So it was highly symbolic and deeply appropriate that today's meal was preceded by my parking next to a classic 1948 Chevrolet Fleetline attired in mint green. Today's introduction to the well reviewed Stewart & Grub is every bit as classic as the 76yr old collectible I parked next to! I ordered their Grub Burger, an (estimated) pound smash burger griddled with melted cheddar, dressed with housemade thousand, fresh tomatoes, onions and lettuce, precariously stacked on brioche buns. I upgraded to their "Make it a Meal" option for $5.49, which netted me their wondrous seasoned fries and a diet coke. SG's seasoned fries are bombastic!! Crinkle cut to ensure maximum crunch and generously dusted with both salt and pepper (you can't sleep on black pepper!). The staff are welcoming and equally generous with their smiles as they are with the well made food. For those who enjoy a soundtrack to their All American cuisine, Stewart & Grub proudly beams KRTH 101.1 FM on a throbbing 200-watt speaker- The perfect complement to any meal! If forced at gunpoint to find a fault? I'd decry that the dine-on counters are a bit on the narrow side- Now you understand WHY they dispatch their gem-quality meals on exquisite wee serving platters smaller than your teenager's iPad! Today's meal was $17.43, incl tax and tip.

    Grub burger.The best!
    Kat A.

    10/10 Been here numerous times and every single time the food is 10/10! I call in my orders and always ready at the exact time they say it'll be ready. Perfect combo: Mild buffalo wings with extra mild sauce on the side and a grub burger. Perfection These picture don't do its justice, I'm not a professional photographer. I'm just a normal person who enjoys really good food. So believe me when I say really fresh and great flavors.

    Carpenter and Stewart fries
    Fernando M.

    This spot makes one-of-kind kind of food! Delicious gourmet food that is worth the wait. Service is excellent and the owner is super friendly! I got the Carpenter (added grilled onion and avocado) with Stewart fries! Highly Recommend; you will not be disappointed!

    The "Rio"
    Roxana G.

    PEOPLE ! YOU ALL NEED TO TRY THIS PLACE ! This Cheese Burgers are DELICIOUS , mouth watering ! I usually get The "Rio" one . Is very juicy ! IF YOU FEEL LIKE HAVING A BURGER - PLEASE GO HERE ! He has a little deck where you can wait for your food and enjoy it., My 10 years young daughter gives this place 10/10 , Y yo también !! You don't have to worry if there is no fan or air conditioner because you are outside . ENJOY

    Harvey burger! So juicy
    Marwa A.

    Visited for the first time today and ordered the Harvey burger. Felt like the in-n-out animal style burger but bigger and better. It's cooked well-done but still juicy and delicious. The actual restaurant has no indoor space so you can't walk into it, you order at the counter outside and wait for your food. There are few seats outside where you can eat if you want to, but the vibe is that this is a takeout type or restaurant. The staff are friendly and the service was amazing, I'm actually blown away by how great the experience was. I paid $15 for my entire meal (fries + burger + drink) which I thought is a steal in LA (especially considering how good the food is). This is one of the small gems in LA that is will always come back to when I'm in the area. 10/10 recommend!

    The smash cheeseburger and fries
    Gilbert R.

    On to my search for the best burger in Socal. Stopped by on a hot Sunday afternoon here. It looks like a stand from the outside; there is an outdoor seating area, but there are only a few spots. So this is more like a grab-and-go spot. From a quick glance at the menu, you can get a burger smashed style or regular style, the latter of which is offered with different toppings. You can also get wings here, too. Angus beef patties are also offered here, but as an upgrade. I ordered the smash burger "grub" style with their special spread (it's very similar to thousand island dressing). Got some fries and a drink as a combo. There are no fountain drinks here, so you'll get your drink in a can. So here are my thoughts on the food: - Smash Burger - 6.7/10: Solid smashburger. Not too fancy and overseasoned. I liked the brioche bread as it wasn't too dense. Patty taste was pretty good, although not spectacular and could've been crisped better at the ends. Their spread didn't add too much to it. Just a solid burger, though. - Fries - 5/10: crinkle cut style. I think they could use an upgrading to these fries. They're seasoned well, but they're fried unevenly. I suspect they might be frozen. So yeah, this is a solid spot for a burger. Everything is clean, well organized, and the owner took some time on look and branding. Very friendly looking spot. Would definitely come back to try their regular burgers with the Angus upgrade. My bros had ordered their burgers non smashed and they looked A LOT better and juicier than mine.

    The Harvey, Buffalo Ranch Fries w/ Cheese
    Juli C.

    This has been my favorite city diner for the past 5 years! They always execute their food perfectly and delicious. I highly recommend the buffalo ranch fries and the Harvey. Brody did an amazing job taking my order as he recommended me a new burger to try, service is always good here.

    I have lived in Downey my entire life and I can't believe this was my first time trying this place! 10/10 amazing local spot. We got some smashers with their special thousand island sauce grub style and the "Harvey" - wow. The Harvey is incredible. The smash burger was good and very filling! We also got the Stewart fries and regular fries - amazing fries. Crispy and fresh! But the best thing - those chicken wings!! The Sweet Thai Chili wings are amazing and their ranch is fire!! Will definitely be back!

    Cornish hen wings? Or quail wings? Not chicken wings!!! Come on Mr. Grub
    Luis A.

    Yes. Good food. Service always takes for ever!!! You call. You order. They give you a time. It's NEVER ON TIME. always another 10-15-20 minutes or longer than they already plus 30 minutes they gave you. Workers are hit and miss. Like Avril Lavigne. Their hot then their cold. You never know what you're gonna get. Right now it's like the scene on Zootopia with all the sloths at the DMV!!!!!!!!!!!

    My Turkey Burger.  Can I tell you a secret? It tastes like" Red Robin" without the "Red Robin" Price!  Shhhhhbb
    Angela B.

    2nd time here. Great Turkey Burger. Not too many places around here for Turkey Burgers . They cook it to order-that's a good thing! I didn't order the fries this time-but they're good. Nothing special but they use I THINK seasoning salt. -that's a good thing. It so clean. Good music that reminds me of the KROCK days!!! Still into the whole safe distance thang-I likey. The young lady is nice the owner helped me last time he's kind of dry. But who knows....‍

    This place is hands down the best burger spot in Downey. Honestly, Shake Shack doesn't even come close. Stewart & Grub is #1 in my book!

    Parking, order was wrong and food was just okay. If you live in Downey, fine but to drive from Long Beach to try it, not for me.

    Joel, when are you going open another one but in Bellflower? I drive from Bellflower just to get one of your delicious Hamburgers. Your burgers are so much better then…

    Fire Wings Downey, A Solid Lunch Spot Worth Revisiting…read more Fire Wings Downey made for a genuinely pleasant experience. Located in the Downey Promenade alongside Gaucho Grill and Casa Brunch, this spot sits in a lot that typically has a parking nightmare reputation, yet arriving on a Friday around 1 PM, I was pleasantly surprised to find a spot quickly and close to the entrance. The space itself is well laid out, offering a generously sized patio with ample seating, complemented by high tops, standard tables, and bar-top seating inside. A few TVs were tuned to the game, background music kept the vibe relaxed, and the overall atmosphere felt casual and comfortable. The staff was notably friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the restaurant maintained a clean, tidy appearance throughout my visit. For lunch, I ordered the 6 piece Mango Habanero wing combo at $15, a solid value. The wings were generously coated in their mango habanero sauce, and the flavor was nothing short of impressive. The heat landed in a comfortable middle ground, not too aggressive, not too tame. Personally, I tend to favor a bolder spice level, as I find it amplifies the overall flavor, but I'll say this the mango habanero here more than made up for it in pure flavor and the bone in wings were perfectly crispy, exactly the way wings should be served. I opted for seasoned fries over regular, and they genuinely stood out: golden, crispy, and seasoned with just the right balance! Flavorful without being overpowering. The combo also came with a generously sized drink. For a relaxed weekday lunch, Fire Wings Downey delivered on all fronts. Good food, good service, and a comfortable setting. I'll absolutely be back.

    This place has horrible customer service and employees that don't know how to take orders…read morecorrectly! Waste of time and money.

    I AM ABSOLUTELY ADDICTED!…read more Everytime I go I try a different flavor. Sometimes I have cravings for the flavors I have already had. Wings are cooked to perfection EVERYTIME ! Buffalo mild & hot, amazing buffalo sauce hot is hot. SWEET & SPICY IS MY NEW FAVORITE! Lemon pepper is always top tier. I even ask him to add the lemon pepper seasoning to my fries. FIRE CRINKLE CUT FRIES ! My absolute favorite type of fries. BBQ is fire, even mixing bbq/hot with lemon pepper is fire and he doesn't charge any additional fees for it. Another plus. Honestly, he could charge me whatever and I would STILL PAY! I love Crispy Wings. I live in Whittier and I will happily commute to commerce to get my wings. I definitely recommend... please be aware that you will be addicted as well & tell the owner BRITT sent you !

    I decided to try this place on a whim. I am rarely in this area…read more I ordered the 6 piece classic combo, mild buffalo flavor and an order of mozzarella sticks. The wings were very crispy, and I like that they weren't dripping in sauce. It was just enough. The fries are crinkle cut and fresh! They also have a really great seasoning salt on them. The mozzarella sticks were good, not too big, also fried when ordered. The marinera served with the sticks was cold so that was a bit of a bummer but I would order them again. The ranch was generic, not made in house which was also a bummer BUT I didn't need ranch for the wings, they were just that good. The staff were wonderful! Great service!
