“I used to come here when they were a Mexican establishment but I'm glad they reopened as Kings. Everything is dank and the portions are generous. Extremely reasonable prices for the amount of food. I recommend the breakfast burritos, chilaquiles (pictured), and the smash burgers. I am bummed they did away with the sipper fries however. 5/5 atmosphere based completely off the mural of Homero (pictured).Parking: There's an auxiliary lot on the other side of Hen's Tooth Squate“

“I came here today for the first time and the food was great, there was barely a line before the lunch rush, the amount of food you get is better than in n out in my opinion for the price you you pay, there is parking on the street and a very small parking lot on the side but looks like the parking lot is for residential parking. Either way I do recommend trying this place at least once .“

“Been here many times while living in E Pasadena. Moved away in 2018 and came back for the first time today. Quality of food always been consistent for me. Had the breakfast plate which is not hard to mess up. Potatoes perfectly seasoned. Only negative is the gal who rang me up at 7am…no greeting, no smile, sappy face, attitude. Never seen her before…ticket said “Manager,” on it. I hope not as she’s setting the standard there.“

“Visiting The Hat in Pasadena, California, was a delightful experience that left a lasting impression, especially with their pastrami sandwich and chili fries. From the moment I stepped into The Hat, the welcoming atmosphere hinted at the culinary delights that awaited.The star of the show without a doubt was the pastrami sandwich. Generously stacked with perfectly seasoned and expertly cooked pastrami, each bite was a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. The meat was tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of fat to enhance its richness. Coupled with a soft yet sturdy bread that held its own, it was clear why this dish has garnered such acclaim.Not to be overshadowed, the chili fries were a revelation in their own right. The fries themselves were golden and crisp, providing a satisfying crunch with each mouthful. But it was the chili that elevated this dish to new heights. Rich, hearty, and packed with flavor, it complemented the potatoes beautifully, adding a comforting warmth that was both inviting and satisfying.Service at The Hat was impeccable, with friendly staff members who were both attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall positive experience. The ambiance of the restaurant, casual yet inviting, made it a perfect spot for both quick bites and leisurely meals.For anyone with a love for classic American comfort food, a visit to The Hat in Pasadena is a must. The pastrami sandwich and chili fries are standout dishes that offer a delicious testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and flavor. It's a culinary experience that promises to delight and satisfy in equal measure.“

“I had breakfast at Wonder Burgers and it was my first time visiting this restaurant. I had the egg and sausage sandwich and I was totally surprised how big it was. I expected a sausage patty like McDonald's or other fast food restaurants. Instead, they were four extremely tasty sausage links along with the eggs and mayonnaise and tomatoes. I only wanted to eat half because it was so large. I ate the whole thing because it was delicious. I also asked for orange juice and they served me a very large cup of orange juice, which was also very delicious. The people were super friendly and she explained the menu to me and that breakfast was an offer two people and it was about $12. I definitely will go back when I'm in the area.Parking: There was plenty of parking in their parking lot.“

“I live on the East Coast now, but this place opened in 1963, the year I started eighth grade at the private school just down the boulevard and my mom occasionally took us there for pie after school.So when I was in Pasadena a couple months ago, I saw the 60th anniversary 1963–2023 signs and decided to go in for old times sake. Was glad I did, brought back memories.Other than obviously higher prices, really hadn’t changed too much in my memory. Basically, a long lunch counter with just a few tables squeezed in. Waitresses using paper checks, checking the sales tax chart on the wall, adding it up manually. At first glance, plumbing fixtures in the men’s room, looked almost as old as the restaurant!Really just a burger place with good pies for desserts.My service was OK and relatively polite, although when I saw on my iPhone they had guest wifi (there wasn’t any in 1963!) and asked a second waitress walking by for the password, she acted bothered and was almost surly.My cooked-to-order burger was quite excellent, just like the ones I remember in school, but the price, my goodness! $13.50 for a single cheeseburger and a glass of water, not including tax and tip? I didn’t even get french fries!I wasn’t all that hungry, so I didn’t have any pie, but had they had any fresh fruit pie that day I probably would’ve splurged and had some.All in all, I was glad I stopped, but next time I am out there in Pasadena, I will probably go to In-N-Out Burger on Foothill Boulevard and save considerable dough :-)“

“I've eaten here a few times now, but this experience was the first since before the pandemic. I am happy to report that the staff is just as friendly and the food is just as tasty as I remember.I love that not only I am able to completely customize my burger to my own exact preferences, but that is is encouraged! The toppings are delicious and varied, including vegan cheese and other allergy friendly options.Every option clearly lists calorie count so if you're watching your weight, this takes all the guess work out. It was really appreciated even though I totally went bonkers with extras because they all sounded so good. Oh well, we all need a cheat day once in a while.Dietary restrictions: Delicious vegan cheese and alternative meat options.“
