Hometown Buffet - Downey

It was pretty good my wife and I enjoyed our breakfast here.

I hardly post reviews but I have to say my waiter was very welcoming and served us always with a smile. His name was Cesar by the way when you walk into the restaurant it was super clean and food tastes really good . I really like the soups and deserts they have . Definitely going back because before we left also the Manager came and ask if our service was good and all I can say it was a great experience eating here .

I normally expect a super busy, messy and run down with dirty bathrooms at a Hometown Buffet restaurants .... BUT TO MY SURPRISE... WOW!!!! The Hometown Buffet in DOWNEY is NOTHING like your typical chain restaurant! The diner was super NICE CLEAN... the customer service was TOPS! The employees or workers and management were very professional and very neat in appearance, well groomed (hair neat, make up, attire). The food was HOT, FRESH and READY, delicious! I like that the food wasn’t messy or on the floor like other restaurants I’ve been to before. I noticed the manager (Erika) was totally on it, working hard to keep the place in order and clean. Asusena took care of my table, she was professional and very kind.... GOOD FOOD, GREAT STAFF AND SPECTACULAR RESTAURANT TO DINE IN! Very impressed THANKS GUYS

Dining can be a delightful experience or a frustrating one, and for me, the Home Town Buffet in Downey is a winner. My friends and I always feel at ease here, thanks to the attentive staff who are always ready to help us seniors. Sometimes I struggle to balance my plates, but whenever I ask for assistance, the team responds with cheerful smiles and exceptional kindness. And let's not forget about the delicious food! We make an effort to plan our visits around the days they serve the meatloaf – it's truly the best meatloaf this side of the Pecos. It would be wonderful if they offered it more frequently. Hats off to the manager and staff!

The restaurant was surprisingly empty for a Saturday night at 7 pm. There were quite a few dirty tables, which is why I only gave it four stars. The food was generally fresh, but I found all the soups to be quite bland. I sampled the chicken noodle soup and the pozole, and unfortunately, neither was very good. On the positive side, the chicken, steak, tacos, and ham were all delicious, as was the chocolate cake! The total of $60 was reasonable for a family of four.
