American Restaurants near Altadena

“I got two burritos and a veggie taco for $30 but it was so worth it. Very yummy ? and clean. I don’t eat out at all usually because of covid but we were in between hikes and got hungry. There was one cook and one cashier and both were wearing masks. Thanks guys!“

“One of the best meals that I have had!“

“After our Altadena house burned down, we relocated to Barker Block and absolutely love being so close to Manuela. We used to have a fire table like yours, so dining here always carries a sense of home. Last night we brought friends, and they said, ‘This makes it hard to go out to eat in Monrovia—our restaurants cut corners with cheap ingredients and fast turnover.’ What your chefs create is the opposite: dishes with not just incredible flavor but extraordinary texture and detail. Their expertise is off the charts, and I highly recommend.“

“I recommend Botanica to everyone. They use fresh hand picked ingredients and the food is delicous! Their cocktails and desserts are so yum. I picked up some chile oil and pickled local veggies for gifts for my friends! Chef Zarah and the staff are best. Will definitely be returning soon.“

“The chicken and the customer service are so good, I was getting cucked by one of the employees and I made sure to thank him before I left. Will be coming back ?“

“Amazing food. Plate licking sauces, organic,locally sourced food. Korean fusion. Did I mention organic pickled everything. Enzyme rich food. Beyond healthy. Humble little hope in the wall run by a husband and wife team. Dude went to Korea to study with the most famous vegan nun chef in Korea. A must go to for anyone who loves food and especially loves fusion with organic and very well priced. He should charge Much more but they don’t.“

“很差，炸到燶的雞翼。“

“I had a really nice time at Little Beast Restaurant. The place has a cozy and relaxed vibe, perfect for just sitting back and enjoying good food. Everything we ordered came out fresh and full of flavor, you can tell they care about quality. The staff was friendly and made sure we were comfortable the whole time, which I really appreciated. Service was smooth and not rushed at all. It’s one of those spots where you just feel good being there. Definitely a place I’d come back to again when I’m craving something tasty and chill.“

“It was my first time here and the sandwiches were amazing. We hit the lunch rush on a Sunday and it got pretty packed, but the staff were super nice and we got our food in no time. There is an amazing craft beer selection and also a great NA drink selection as well. There is a cute back patio to sit and enjoy. Highly recommend!“

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place“

“The food has to be experienced!! It’s high-end in taste and presentation, and the staff are professional but so fun that you feel like you’re with family. They are attentive to detail and will bend over backwards to make sure you have what you need. Service with a smile; this company is pure joy!“

Delicious!
The service is great…so warm! Felt as if I were having a terrific meal at a friend’s or favorite family member’s place!
Highly recommend!!“

“How did this quirky gem evade my notice for five years?! I guess because they're only open Friday and Saturday. This may be the best restaurant in Pasadena. Inventive creole-inspired food. Everyone raved. Only thing I would change is to have it a little quieter. But our four-top could still converse well.“

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Omg. It’s June 6th and this review is for Easter Sunday Brunch for Alexandros. The Waiter from Greece. Sorry for the delayed review Alexandros that I promised. Food and service here, impeccable, amazing, flawless. Alexandros is an amazing waiter.
Thank you.“

“Fantastic service. The specialties and house signature food and drink are fabulous. I had the braised short rib and the house dirty martini. Delicious. Also please try the truffle deviled eggs, Brussels sprouts and truffle fries. Love this place.“

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“Breakfast goals achieved! Generous portions, delicious homemade biscuits, and an omelette that could serve two. Friendly staff made it even better. My favorite meal done right 💕☕“

“Hello This is a good news/bad news review. We frequent Only Place quite often. We probably average about 3 times a month. But it's not unusual to go a couple times in a week. Your food and serving staff are excellent. Among our favorites are Whitney, Bronwyn, Hanna, Jose to name a few. Whitney is especially great! Now the bad news. We were in last Friday and were shocked with the unexpected bright lighting. It was uncomfortably bright. Nobody needs that much light!! And considering the average age of your customers it's even more important to keep the lighting flattering. We had to move from our booth because it was so disconcerting. Please please please change the bulbs in the overhead lights. If you have to squint to see the bulb it's TOO bright. We loved the family atmosphere of Only Place. The new lighting level ruins the atmosphere. We're begging you please return to the previous pleasing level. Thank you“

“Magnífico lugar para comer!! Excelente servicio Jessica, Jessenia y todos los que trabajan son grandiosos.“

“I liked the Mezzo Band and singers very much. Thanks for the national atmosphere!“

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“Salad was tasty . I’ll be back to try burgers they looked amazing .“

“I’ve been 3 times in the past 3 weeks. Service and food is fantastic! Highly recommend Smitty’s Grill.“

“My favorite place. My family and colleagues Love it here, our happy place to gather and chill! My only question is why change the Mac'n'Cheese???? Please please go back to the OGMac! No offenses to the new chef, everything else is amazing 🙌 please go back to cheesy Mac! We love u ❤️ and all the thoughtful staff. 💖“

“The restaurant is elegantly decorated and has a comfortable atmosphere“

“Great food and huge portions! The pastrami was fresh, flavorful, and packed with meat. Fries were delicious, and the staff was friendly and fast. Restaurant was clean, and the service was excellent. Definitely one of the best spots for sandwiches and comfort food. Highly recommend!“

“We’ve been back several times. It’s a favorite when we’re in the area.“

“Cargo Snack Shack is an absolute gem! The food is fantastic, but I was especially impressed by their thoughtful and delicious vegetarian-friendly options—it's so refreshing to find a spot that offers such flavorful plant-based choices. The amazing outdoor ambiance makes it the perfect place to kick back, relax, and enjoy the weather. On top of the great setting, the staff was incredibly attentive and welcoming throughout our visit. Pair all of this with their excellent selection of alcoholic drinks, and you have the recipe for a perfect outing. Highly recommend!“

“Let’s just relax with the overly hyped Italian sandos with the “uncle” in the name, it’s good and tasty and satisfying but this isn’t some mind blowing bite that overwhelms your senses and give you mouthfeel ecstasy.. it’s a solid sando that’s it, the bread is definitely the big winner, it’s perfect for the bite, but I wouldn’t go out of my way and take a ride downtown just to get it. It’s a solid pic if you don’t know what to choose with all the various options at GCM I’ll give them that. But generally speaking Italian sandos are overrated…“

“JB burgers is my family’s go to place for great hamburgers and fries. Their mixed breakfast burrito hits the spot every time. My kids love the pancakes over any other place. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone visiting Monrovia.“

“Terrific staff and innovative cuisine. Small local restaurant who worked hard to keep staff through the pandemic closures with delicious creative take out and who are keeping everyone safe by requiring proof of vaccination for indoor dining. Fresh creative food.“

“Their Corned Beef sandwich and their Pastrami Sandwich...both DELICIOUS!!!!!“

“Nice atmosphere, and good service . Food was okay . Not sure what else to write in order for this to post 🤷🏻‍♀️“

“1 of my favorite places to eat in Silverlake, I’ve tried almost everything they have and I highly recommend“

“We had such a wonderful time. Amazing wine & terrific food!“

“Bobbys place is a wonderful place to be. The employees make the environment so friendly they treat each and every individual customer like family. So much so that customers are remembered by name. You can also tell that their food is made with so much love. They take pride in what they do and take pride in serving the community. Theres no other place to be when you look for quality, community, and family. So I recommend coming and sharing the love and becoming apart of the Bobbys place family.“

“What a hidden gem! This small quaint restaurant delivered some of the best food we had while visiting Pasadena. The flavors in the sauce (basil, olive oil and something else yummy) that surrounded the burrata were absolutely delicious! The lamb/beef/pork bolognese sauce on the spaghetti as well as the duck was excellent. Portions are definitely generous and shareable. Our only regret is we didn’t save room for dessert! Despite being there during the Rose Bowl with lots of people, the service was excellent! So glad we stumbled upon this restaurant via Resy, we’ve saved it in case we come to Pasadena again!! Bravo!!!“

“Dog, burgers, drinks and a Tuesday run club, what more do you need!“

“Had such an amazing experience last nigh ! The food so fresh and delicious prepared to perfection. Everyone was friendly and attentive even the chefs are super cool ! And definitely save room for that cheesecake yummmy ! I'll definitely be back. Thank you all at Colette's 😋😋👌🏼“

“Some unique flavors and some familiar. Customer service at the bar is unparalleled, like the all-day happy hour pricing. I’m very happy when I come to this place, regardless of what I order.“
