“I've been going to Pieloon for a few years now and it is THE BEST restaurant in Downey! The food is always fabulous, the portions are large, the service is perfect! I've had appetizers, salads, pastas, steaks, burgers, sandwiches (I'm addicted to the BLT) and many of their specials. My family and I go now 2x a week and have trouble deciding what to get because it's all so good! And the pies...their pumpkin pie is the best I've ever had and the blueberry cheesecake is fabulous...but just wait until fresh peach pie season...I'll gain weight just thinking about it...the fresh peach is the best pie I've ever, EVER had! I love this place and the people who work there!! They're like family now!“

“Literally one of my fave BJS to ever go to. My husband, me, his brother, and mom went and the service was amazing. For it being packed, we had a very committed waitress. Our waitress Marisol was phenomenal. She kept checking up on us and was really efficient. We even chatted a little bit which I liked because I don’t like when servers are too serious and very emotionless. She was very outgoing and super kind. Thank you Marisol.“

“This location just opened, so come with a little patience and understanding.

Yes, they’re a little slow right now. Yes, they’re currently only accepting cash. They’re clearly still working through some of the growing pains that come with opening a brand-new location.

But what stood out to me was the SERVICE and the effort.

You can genuinely see how hard this team is working. They’re moving nonstop, helping each other, staying positive, and doing everything they can with the circumstances they’ve been given. Not once did I feel like the wait was because they didn’t care. Quite the opposite.

You just don’t see this kind of grit from employees as often anymore.

So before getting frustrated about the wait, give them a little grace. They’re new. They’re learning. They’re working hard. And despite everything they’re dealing with, their customer service is top notch.

The speed will come. The systems will improve. But you can’t teach people to care, and this team clearly does.

Be patient with them. They’re doing a great job, and I’m rooting for this location to succeed. 👏🥔“
