Flame Broiler — Restaurant in Downey

It's flame broiler The food tastes the same anywhere you go. With that being said, these people here do not pay attention. I called in to place a phone order so I didn't have to wait in line when I got there and was put on hold for 8 minutes. I was still on the phone when I showed up at the location.

Despite all this don't let this review stop you from eating here the food may look iffy but give it a try you may like it who knows in the end...

The reason for two stars instead of one is a combination of the staff being extremely friendly and the restaurant being superbly clean.

Everything else was subpar. The food was neither warm nor cold and I was unsure which one it was supposed to be.
