The food is great here and you plenty of it at a very good price. Service is excellent we love Betty and Tia! This is our weekend go to place for breakfast. It is a down home place where everyone is friendly and you just might get to know lots of other regulars. I highly recommend giving The Downtowner a try.

I ordered food there two eggs, bacon, toast and potatoes. I won the eggs to be over medium they were overcooked. The bacon was supposed to be flimsy but it was overcooked and looked to be old. If somebody orders eggs or bacon the way they like them that's the way they want them. And you should make it accordingly.

The food was incredible at this little local hole in the wall style diner. I highly recommend the monte christo sandwich in their breakfast menu, it’s on cinnamon toast!

We have enjoyed the Downtowner for many decades, even when it was actually in downtown Lafayette. Today we went in and witnessed a waitress, going to the table, talking on her phone at the table. When I said something to another lady and said that I thought Management should know about it. The woman told me that the lady was Management and we got up and left. I’m not gonna tolerate that kind of rudeness especially when it’s the management doing it. Definitely nothing like it has been in decades past.

Utilitarian diner with an expansive menu, very friendly service, and great prices. Lacks any notable aesthetic, but that's not what matters here. Would highly recommend for a quick, fresh, cheap breakfast.

A great place to have breakfast, with one of the best in town! It is located in a strip mall and there are entrances on the north and south side of the complex with parking on either side. They have a very nice selection of food and it has always been great. They also have very friendly staff and are very kind. Check them out!

The egg I had with vegetables and ham was decent. I'll change my rating if I go back for a different food item.

Best breakfast bacon I have ever eaten. Portions are large and tasty, service is Midwest friendly with great coffee, refills galore and happy customers. Not a fancy place which is why we love it!Parking: Entrance on front and back. Park either side.
