“I want to thank a kind attentive young lady who assisting. She promised to follow up with a call when something became available for me. At first I was discouraged because as we all know all agencies always say that when they turn you down, however after a few days Sol called me to inform I was still in her radar and when something became available she would call. It proves to say she is genuinely there to help and is great at what she does. A week later here I am employed! Thank you Sol for all your support! I would definitely recommend this place thanks to you!“

“Why is a quality turkey sandwich so hard to find in LA? ghost sando, gjusta, ggiata never hit the spot.

Yet, everything about The Broadway is perfect. Banh mi like baguette bread, thinly cut turkey, and a sauce/seasoning combo that is actually perfect. Salty creamy with the best balance of veggies.

The only cold cut I’ll ever want and need.“

“the food is great but I think the people make the place!!!!“

“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!“

Love how simple and easy it is to order here. The portions are generous, prices are fair, and the chicken is seasoned just right—not too salty, not bland, just super satisfying.

“Great place, owner Mike is hands-on and will explain the beer selection (which he tries and chooses himself) and unique menu. Everytime I travel to CA I stop by. Burgers are great, beers are mostly local with some intriguing European beers tossed in. All the produce is freshly and locally sourced. Very unique retro interior and vibe. Check it out, one of a kind.“

“I've gone to several of the regional airport cafes. This location is the best! The wall is all windows and it's directly on the runway which adds to the experience seeing planes land and takeoff while eating. The parking is easy and plentiful. This place was hopping on a Friday morning. That was nice to see. The service was great. Greeted with a warm, friendly smile. The servers were attentive, prompt and courteous.
The portions large and very reasonable. The food was delicious. I had biscuit and gravy and a meat lover's omelette. Oh my!! Very flavorful. And filling!!
The lobby has plenty of pictures with history of the airport as well as memorabilia throughout the restaurant.
This place is fun and a tasty experience. I highly recommend it.“

“If you’re craving something sweet, the muffins and pies here are a must-try! 🧁🥧 The muffins are soft, moist, and packed with flavor—perfect with your morning coffee. The pies are just as impressive, with buttery, flaky crusts and rich, satisfying fillings. Whether you’re into fruity pies or creamy classics, there’s something to love. Definitely a go-to spot for dessert lovers!“

“Visited this restaurant with my boyfriend while we were visiting and was really impressed with our overall experience! Bianca did a great job as our server! She was professional and able to answer our questions about the menu. The atmosphere was really cool and I am excited to come back the next time we’re in town!“

Angela has and excelente customer service she recommended us this dessert thanks Angela for been nice and make our day better with your attentions. God Bless you! And guys don’t forget the cucumber agua Fresca is really good 😊.“

“My party cost about $80+ between the 5 of us, and it was well worth it. I personally ordered their chili omelet, and when I say I couldn't finish it because of the big portions, I mean it, I'm a big person, I can eat A LOT, and I couldn't finish it all. 10/10 on atmosphere, flavor, and portion size“

“The best burgers in town! Definitely worth the drive to Los Alamitos!“
