I was fiercely craving a chili burger and fries today so I did a search for local eateries that have them and I ran across place, the pictures were what caught my attention but I was sold on the reviews! We were a party of 6 and had planned to eat there but they only have outdoor dining and it is a rainy day so we took the food home. I had the chili cheeseburger and chili cheese fries, they were both delicious and hit the spot perfectly! Everyone was made fresh and They gave us the yellow chilies which went well with the grub! The employees were polite and friendly too! We can't wait to go back and try more menu items! Try this place you'll like it! read more

This has been a favorite of ours for years, but recent times have seen quality decline a bit. Don't get me wrong, it's still good, one of the best burgers in town. But knowing what it used to be... and knowing that this will be one of my last chances to eat there for awhile (we're moving to Europe next month) makes it a little harder. First the bad: the Rio is my usual favorite. Tonight, my burger was so overcooked and just dry as the Sahara. The wings had odd places where I had to spit out the dry, overcooked bits. Overall, the wings were great - sweet Thai chile - but what were these weird dry spots? And really, shredded lettuce is terrible. Put a nice leaf of lettuce, or don't put any on there at all. Now the good: the meat is very good quality, and has good, beefy flavor. The wings that didn't have the weird crusty dry spots were very well cooked, succulent, and that sweet That chile sauce is so money. The staff is very nice, polite, and organized. The prices are in line with what you'd expect to pay for a better quality burger. And you can let them know if you want customization - or you can just go with Grub style (their sauce) or backyard style (mustard and ketchup). Overall, Grub is a pretty reliable meal spot, better than average by quite a distance. But please - don't smash the smash burgers so hard and so many times! It leaves all the juiciness in the griddle. I'm hoping that I'll be back one day and it'll still be there, making epic burgers and wings! read more

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. read more

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. read more

Stewart&Grub - Grub Bacon Burger with a side of crinkle cut seasoned fries. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Downey, California

Great burger place. Small ma and la place. I'm bummed they're temporarily closed. Just went by

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. read more

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. read more

Stewart & Grub is the best burger spot in Downey, California. Awesome service every time. My go-to meal is the spicy BBQ wings with chili cheese fries. Always fresh, always hits. read more

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! read more

I'm updating my review because now I'm really upset. We placed a phone order at 6:38pm and were told it would be ready in 20 minutes. We showed up right on time and still didn't get our food until 7:24pm. We've been here before and know it can take a while, which is exactly why we ordered ahead. Clearly, that didn't help. While we were waiting, one of the staff members or maybe the manager apologized to my husband and said the delay was because we ordered our wings extra crispy. That explanation might've made sense... if the wings were actually crispy. But they weren't. At all. Not even close. The audacity to blame the delay on our request and then not even follow through with what we asked for? Completely frustrating. If you're going to make us wait nearly an hour, at least get the order right. We really wanted to support this spot, but tonight was a huge letdown. read more

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. read more

Stewart&Grub - The Harvey, Buffalo Ranch Fries w/ Cheese - Chicken Wings Near Me - Downey, California

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!

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. read more

The food is still great, but the service has definitely declined over the years. I placed a phone order and was told it would be ready in 20-25 minutes. I arrived after 35 minutes, only to find my order still wasn't ready and had to wait even longer. I had timed my lunch break carefully, expecting to have time to eat, but I was left with just 5 minutes to quickly finish my meal. It's disappointing when you plan ahead and still end up rushed. I hope they can improve their efficiency and communication moving forward. read more

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!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I would rate this more like a 3.5. It's not quite a 4 but I definitely to try their wings from here. I ordered the chicken sandwich from here can't remember we the menu name. The chicken sandwich was amazing. It had all the fixings and was made delicious I made it combo and got a drink and fries. The fries weren't my favorites and had a little too much seasoning but I still ate some of them. Lol The service was okay. The person at the window seemed annoying which can be a little off putting but whatever, I understand having off days. So hopefully that's all it was. The food does take a while here. I was told it was 30 minutes for a chicken sandwich. So it's good to keep that in mind. Call ahead for sure if you know what to order. There is some bar stools to sit at outside. But other than that no other seating. The parking lot has limited parking for the businesses in that little center. So keep that in mind as well. read more

Everything was really good and great price and nice staff. The only suggestion I would have is turn the music off because that kind employee has to sit there and listen to that loud music all day. Also, their hearing may sustain irreversible damage as a result of having to hear to that loud volume all day long. I can only imagine that it must be very annoying for him or her and the other employees to try to work while that music is blasting. I know from the customer side that it is very annoying to try to hear the sound of your own voice while ordering and all while trying not to go deaf. read more

We have always passed this spot. Today we decided to stop by for the first time. The sun was shinning with a light fresh breeze, so we ate there in the patio with music playing in the background. I had the Blt, it was totally fresh bacon, tomate, lettce and spread on sourdough with fries. My husband had the rio burger with avacado, lettice, tomato and bacon and fries on the side. The food was great and the people serving and making the food are totally friendly. We will be going back. Food was clean and healthy. read more

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.

10/10 would highly recommend this spot if you're wanting to try out some smash burgers in the area. The burger melted in my mouth. I plan on revisiting this spot in the near future. It took about 10-15 min for my order to come out also they have some chairs you can sit on outside to eat or wait on your food. read more

Found Stewart&Grub on Yelp. Didn't read times or days went there on a Monday CLOSED. Tried again on Tuesday and got there about 7 something they close at 8pm. I wanted the Rampart made with Chili and I was told, "There is only 1 order of chili left and it's for another order" (It was my first time there I was surprised). A Downey police officer pulled up to get his order and I asked him what he thought about the place. He said, " I love it" got his burger and left. I settled for the Carpenter a BBQ burger it was very very light on the BBQ sauce,but the burger had a nice taste. We also got the grub cheeseburger( no complaints) The burgers are definitely messy and delicious. I did not see any combos only individual items. The place is a walk up and order, there are a few tables and stools for seating outside. seating outside at the corner of Stewart&Gray and old school River road. read more

Review is for the copycat animal style fries they got, as that is all I tried on my visit. Fresh, tasty, and very onion-y. I eat very flavorful foods (Mediterranean, Mexican, etc.) And I gotta say these are probably one of the most flavorful fries I've tried. Close second (although completely different taste) would be the Super Fries from Takos in Bellflower. If you enjoy animal fries from in n out and especially enjoy onion flavor, plus bacon, you'll love these fries! And if you don't, good. More for me. Seating is scarce. Just a bench and some bar type of seating. Probably best for quick lunch or pick up to be honest. Service isn't worth writing anything crazy about. Just a cashier. No issues. Place is very casual. Would not bring a date here. Would bring my broke friends. Maybe like one or two unless we're sitting on each other's laps. read more
