A pleasant surprise to find this place with great homemade comfort food. Great service, great food, very pleasant wait staff, and awesome pies to finish off the meals. We had a variety of items: chipotle chicken pasta, burgers on sourdough bread, chicken fried steak, and prime rib. The burgers were great, and I'd have to say that the chicken-fried steak is the best I've had outside of Texas. If you haven't been to Pieloon, you really don't know what you are missing. The food and service is a solid "5" rating. The quaint rustic atmosphere in booths is a "3.5" rating. Great dinner, lunch, and breakfast.

Hello everyone. Welcome to the Pieloon. This is a great place for a Saturday or Sunday breakfast. Both breakfast and lunch portions are very generous. The service is very fast. There is parking but it’s a very limited so get there early. This place accepts cash and card. I recommend the nachos with chicken. Thank you for reading my post. Please follow me on Google maps and check out the places I visits.

We came for breakfast. I love the decor here. They have these awesome vases in the front. I also liked the Easter themed balloons and the topiary. One of our waitresses was a bit cranky but the others were pretty nice. The food was very tasty. I really liked the vegetarian sandwich. I ordered the avocado toast. I liked that they were large pieces of avocado. I would like to try a pie next time.

This was my 1st time visiting this restaurant and I must say, I've been missing out all these years! The restaurant is of a good size and also very well kept. You can tell whomever maintains this establishment takes great pride in their work! We had breakfast, and it was pretty good! My girlfriend ordered a French Toast dish which came with eggs, sausage and bacon. I ordered the chilaquiles with eggs and their house potato cuts along with a 12oz sirloin steak and pancakes! All this for just $44! I definitely see myself coming back in the near future!

12/6/2023 I think my mom would love this place. It's old time feel and home cooking theme is right up her alley. I enjoyed most of my food and my buddy's French toast looked amazing. My cornbread was pretty special too. Our server was nice enough and the restaurant was clean. Got some veggies in me too so was a successful meal overall. Almost forgot, I spent under $20... In California? Say what?

I found this restaurant when I was looking up places to eat near Golf N' Stuff in Norwalk. I love diners and even though they were packed with people, the place felt authentic and homey. My husband had corned beef hash and my daughter had ravioli and they said they liked it, but I had the hot turkey sandwich and it was real turkey and mashed potatoes! Here's the bummer, the kitchen ran out of cranberry sauce for my dish and wasn't going to bring it up but I pointed it out because that's my favorite part(c'mon guys, a week before Thanksgiving and you don't have cranberry sauce?), and we shared a slice of dutch apple pie after and it was cloyingly sweet and dry at the same time(streusel was like eating sawdust), and we had high hopes for the pie since that type is standard and they have "pie" in their name. A little tight outside parking and inside when it's busy. No discounts for no cranberry sauce but I would go back to have their comfort food in this neighborhood family restaurant, maybe if I go to mini golf again.

January 6-2024 First time, this year for a club meeting. will definitely NOT coming back to Pieloon , their food was pretty disappointing . Husband ordered his buttermilk pancakes , it came very plain . There was no butter, no whip cream, no toppings at all, he had to be asking for butter. My country steak to share , the egg was nasty and overcooked, 🤮
