Bobby’s is amazing. The food is fantastic, and the service was quick and friendly! The cheeseburger, fries and onion rings are absolutely delicious. Highly recommend!

Bobby's is a favorite for Gringo Tacos. The sauce is worth the 30 minute one way drive.

As far back as I can remember this used to be Rick’s Burgers on Walnut but they moved locations decades ago & then changed their name shortly thereafter. People in Pasadena/Altadena area loved this place in the 90s. Walked in for 1st time about 2/2:30 pm on a Saturday afternoon. Hardly any customers there; it felt barren & had a weird vibe. The woman helping me with my order was quite rude & seemed bothered that I asked her what the cheeseburgers have inside & if they offered orders of 1/2 onion rings & 1/2 zucchini. Which they don’t, but there are many other burger joints that do. Even Burger King does now, so it’s not a foreign idea. She seemed bewildered & her response came with a sense of ‘that’s a stupid question’. Ok, maybe she’s having a bad day or she just doesn’t want to be there or bothered by my ‘odd’ questions, but I’m sure they’re paying her to work so she really should check her attitude when she clocks in or call in sick. I still gave her the benefit of the doubt. Food came out very quickly, almost too quickly for it to have been made to order. I asked her for chiles (the yellow peppers all burger joints have including In n Out). Again seemed like the weirdest freaking question a human at a burger joint has ever asked, asked again & she hesitatingly grabbed a few baggies with chiles. At this point I just wanted to get out of there. She didn’t offer condiments & I didn’t even bother checking my order. I paid $39 for 3 cheeseburgers, 1 order or fries & 1 order of onion rings. More than I expected to pay but everything is considerably more expensive these days. Burgers tasted good BUT they should dry the lettuce before putting it in the burger cause the buns were super soggy. So of course 1-2 bites in its a mess & falling apart. Fries were mediocre at best, but my son liked them after I added Lawry’s to them. The onion rings were breaded nicely & the outside looked golden & crispy but when you bite into them they are extremely bland & the significant amount of oil they were still soaking in made for a dominant flavor of fried oil be the most prominent. Not even salting them a little more helped. Unfortunately, this will be my 1st & last time trying this place. I’d suggest sticking to Lucky Boy, Fair Oaks Burger, or Hi-Life burger. I sure do wish Amy’s & Jim’s was still around, but the Jim’s before the Korean family sold it.

Went to Bobby's Place (knew it since Ricks days) for the first time in a long time.... The Pasadena Food was the same but the service has changed. The menu price did not match my receipt of each item.

Staff did not even try to make it right (shrug). Left my number for the owner, and no response. Makes me sad that Bobby's is robbing the customer on every sale...

Came here after I saw a coworker eating a crunchy taco. Glad I came, I had a crunchy taco and French cheeseburger (sourdough bread instead of a bun) they were both delicious. I will be coming back often!

A lot more than I expected. I'm surprised it doesn't get more business than it should. It's like a better Mexican In N Out.

Oof. This place had the most unwelcoming atmosphere. And they don't even serve coffee.
