    twister w/ snickers

    So after a really good dinner I was in the mood for ice cream and I was not aware they had a fosters freeze by me. So my partner grabbed an ice cream cup with pineapple topping and I got a "twister" with snickers. The ice cream was delicious and hit the spot! The service was good and so was the dessert. I'll be back there soon.

    Medium Dipped Vanilla Cone

    This place has the best soft serve dipped cones in SELA. The chocolate actually hardens unlike other places. I think I over did it with the medium BUT I still ate the entire cone. Next time I'll be sure to just get their small dipped cone. I love coming here with my favorite person and our furry Jack! And absolute yes for ice cream in South East Los Angeles.

    I've been out looking for the best burgers. I started going to Fosters freeze sents I was a kid. So I felt I needed to just there burgers. I ordered the Big Boss with fries and a drink. I was very surprised by the look of the burger and it tasted great. The patty is thing and cooked well done. It has a good texture to it. The cheese they used works well with all the pickles and tomatoes. This is not a fancy place but being how long it's been in business should tell that it a good place to eat.

    Food has flavor. But the inside felt a little sticky and dirty. Workers were nice and fast service.

    Cones, malts and sanitizer
    John S.

    Great place for a vanilla malt. I just want to note that hand sanitizer was available on the counter, social distancing was not observed because SOME HOW I was the only one there. If this place served a decent turkey burger... even the seasoned Butterball ones... This would be my go to burger and a malt, 1950s feel, spot. My personal Arnold's, even though the seating is outside (See: Happy Days). Service was very prompt. The employee was polite... I can't ask for more... oh wait... I can... longer hours, at least on the weekends would be great, as I am a late night, vampire type of guy. But, I get it... like they say "If da sales are slow, close da doh!" I will be back... my fam in tow (man, even that rhymed, lol. Thank for everything, keep up the good work, and stay safe.

    The best ice cream

    This place has always been a staple to my childhood and still enjoy coming here with my family. One of my fave ice cream shops

    First of all the owner is extremely rude, arrived and parked and the first thing he says is that we can't park there and had to parked in street, when we asked why he said "this is MY PROPERTY" and when we mentioned we were going to eat he apologized. Totally ruined my appetite, and I had been going to this location for more than 10 yrs. If it wasn't for the fact that i drove my family almost 2 hrs to this location, I would've left. Burger was dry and flavorless. Best thing was the ice cream, NEVER AGAIN.

    Our order for earlier tonight. Thank you for whomever took this order

We ordered a flight called Old Mexico that had Jose Cuervo reservation de La familia in it and that was our favorite of the flight set. The surf n turf ribeye was cooked to perfection and flavorful the potatoes delicious and the shrimp were too. My husband enjoyed his kabob platter everything cooked to perfection the meat was tender and there was not a grain of rice left on his plate. My daughter had the filet mignon ordered rare she requested "mooing" half jokingly and she substituted for fries which she enjoyed the fries,but sadly the filet was sliced so thin it was cooked all the way through with very little pink at all, she still enjoyed the flavor of the reduction and taste altogether. We ordered hummus for the table and although the pita bread took a while to come out Kennith did warn us about it ahead of time and we said it would be worth the wait because I had seen them coming out to another table and they looked fresh and delicious, I was completely correct on that it was worth it 100%. I also ordered tomato crostinis and a side of saffron couscous that Jazmin(so helpful and on top of things) brought to our table both full of flavor and done so well they are now something I'm going to be coming back for!

Once we were ready she had our table already prepared. We have to order inside first before you can be seated. Once seated our food came out not too long after. Everything looked and tasted delicious! We ordered the chilaquiles verde, short rib omelette, tropical pancakes (seasonal), and the mango curd french toast (seasonal). The chilaquiles verde was savory and tangy. It wasn't soggy at all and definitely one of my favorite dishes. The short rib omelette was savory but didn't give me any wow factor compared to the other dishes I ordered. The tropical pancakes were so pretty. I only tried a piece of it without the syrup which I think was a mistake because the kumquat syrup was my friend's favorite. I definitely need to try it again with the syrup. Best for last, mango curd French toast was my favorite! I fell in love with sweetness and tanginess of the mango curd. The French toast was soft and you can taste the butter. I wish it was a main menu item. I'll definitely be sad to see it go. They have lots of seating inside and outside.

    My husband ordered me the lemon ricotta pancakes this morning, which I've had from this restaurant…read morebefore, so I know exactly how they're supposed to taste. The moment I took my first bite, I immediately noticed that the ricotta tasted sour and spoiled. I drove back to the restaurant to request a refund. Unfortunately, my refund was not honored because the manager, Aimee, was not present. Karely, the lead on duty, seemed unsure of how to handle the situation and attempted to explain that the sour taste was simply the lemon in the ricotta. That explanation was disappointing because there is a clear difference between the intended lemon flavor and the taste of spoiled dairy. What upset me most was the lack of concern, apology, or effort to make the situation right. As a customer, I expected the issue to be taken seriously, especially when food safety is involved. If a manager is unavailable, staff should be properly trained and empowered to handle customer concerns appropriately. I am currently four months pregnant, which made this experience even more concerning. I wasted my time, gas, and energy driving back to the restaurant, only to leave without a refund or any resolution. This was by far the worst experience I have had at a restaurant in Downey, and unfortunately, I will not be returning.

Since it was our first time (thanks to tik tok!), Henry went over the menu and shared his personal favorites as well as the most popular among customers. He did tell us they are known for their sandwiches. We went with one breakfast burrito and the granada sandwich, respectfully. We had them cut in half too. We then decided to eat the burrito (she had half and I had half) and save the sandwich for dinner later that day. The breakfast burrito was pretty good. I would say 8/10. It was a good size as well which is why we shared it. Now, when we had the sandwich (shared as well) later for dinner OMG it was delicious!! Every ingredient mixed well together. So much flavor! We got jalapeño aioli as a dipping sauce and man oh man was it good! We will definitely be returning! And honestly, I can't wait! Some notes: If you need to use the restroom, you gotta head over to the movie theater across the way as Monty's does not have a public restroom. Be patient as there is a wait time. It wasn't packed at all, but we believe there aren't many cooks back there. It's okay though, totally worth it in our opinion.

I stopped eating it after that. Maybe we just went on a bad day. I just know I get one bad experience anywhere, especially with food, and I won't go back.
