41 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Pasadena

“This place is delicious. The price for a breakfast burrito is relatively cheap. The salsa is also delicious. The staff is fun if you speak Spanish (which I do). I put 4 stars because of price, food taste, and the experience I had there. Even the restroom was clean. I would go back and eat there again hands down.

The only downside is the flies that fly around. They don't land on your food but they do just like to land on the table.“

“I like stopping in to the Panda Express Innovation Kitchen as sometimes you can get a sneak peek of new dishes to come.

On this visit I ordered the Sesame Chicken and got it with quinoa fried rice. I appreciated that the quinoa fried rice felt lighter but also filling.“

“Theresa was amazing!! She gave the best customer service I have every experienced at a fast food restaurant. She was very friendly and attentive. I asked for tomatoes on my Spicy Chicken Sandwich. When I received my sandwich, I noticed there was no tomatoes on it. I didn’t want to make a fuss, so I ate it as is, no sweat! In the middle of eating the sandwich, Theresa said “there was something wrong with your sandwich huh?” And I said “haha yeah but no worries, I’m enjoying it!” Theresa went above and beyond and brought out complimentary fries and apologized! I have no idea how she knew there was a mistake, but I was blown away by how sweet and attentive she was. Thank you again Theresa! I will definitely be coming here again!“

“Mark is the most amazing manager I’ve ever encountered at Carl’s Jr. He is incredibly friendly and provides the best customer service I’ve experienced at a fast food restaurant. I keep returning to this particular Carl’s Jr. every morning for breakfast simply because Mark makes me feel right at home.“

“The lamb gyros are the best things ever. 😊“

“Love Connal's and have been going for years. For some reason, though, this past Friday we discovered our usual order (#4) to have much larger buns and significantly less meat. Like everything else in town, I worry quality is on the decline. Hoping it was just because we came in after the lunch rush hour and they were low on some ingredients that particular day.“

“A huge pastrami on rye, hit the spot!
Back for a pastrami dip and an orange blast, wow. This is a must visit whenever I'm in town!
The place is a real blast from the past, they don't do it like this much any more. I want to try some other sandwiches but I can't pass up that pastrami!!!“

“Such a great hospitality! During this difficult times I Loved the fact that today they were so special with the costumers and shared a fresh cut 🌹.“

“We went to this Panda Express because the one in south pasadena had a rat at their location. This one is super clean, the service was quick, and the people working there were great. The food was fresh and amazing for fast food! Def coming here again.“

“Great and friendly customer service, great food.“

“Love, love, love this place! Unlike any fast food place I've been to. Employees are so nice. The bring you your order, cut your sandwich, etc. One even changed my order around so it would be cheaper.“

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

“Do you love our Billboard? Spin360corefitness.com/godbillboards“

“all food is good but my favorite is pastrami and fried cikini“

“its taco bell. good and cheap compared to everything around. staff is friendly enough. location is small.

this location only has limited seating outside with no shade, so some days it might be too hot. i reccommend the nearby michillinda park for a spot to eat.“

“Tasty food. I ordered the angus beef bowl. Not fatty or chewy. Goin back soon“

“When a restaurant does one thing and really hones in and masters their craft, the result speaks for itself. This place does chicken supremely well because that is all they do. The value of the meals is great. You can choose between quarter, half, or whole chicken with tortillas and sides. The chicken is very tasty and juicy, packed with flavor and perfectly made. The sides are also nice. There are some tables but they mainly do takeout. The staff are very friendly and treat you like family.“

“Their tacos were stuffed and overflowing with fresh lettuce and meat. The staff looked like they are working so hard in the heat but maintained their friendliess and speed to deliver orders. I ordered via the app and waited a total of 45 seconds when I picked up my order at the drive thru.“

“This is a solid location. Parking is good, service and food is great. Incorrect orders are rare, and I have never had a good quality issue, over a 10+ year period.

I like the menu way more, and the food is less processed than Taco Bell.“

“Great burgers and shakes“

“Stopped in to see what was new at Subway. I went later in the day and it was not that busy. I asked the staff member what was new and he gave me a few details on the new sandwiches available. The chicken, bacon, ranch was my first choice. The spicy Italian melt was my second 6-in sandwich. I liked being able to select the bread to be used. I think I will enjoy the Monterey cheddar with the CBR sub and the herb Italian with the hotshot Italian sub. I also ordered some potato chips. There was a great selection of sandwich enhancements such as tomatoes, onions, tomatoes, peppers, etc. I collected my meal and after about 5 minutes I was on my way home. I was impressed with how nice and accommodating the clerk was.

There is street parking as well as a parking lot behind this location. Very convenient to PCC campus.

Look forward to my next visit, and a chance to try some other items on the menu. The desserts sound good!“

“This place never fails to provide good food and the orders have never been incorrect. Keep up the good work. The only complaint I have is that they may be slightly understaffed. Maybe hiring one more person would help alleviate some stress in the workplace.“

“Second time I ate here in the last three days! Light, healthy, filling, affordable, and open late! A lot of plant based options. The flavor of the chicken on my bowl ? I am really happy I found this place and will be back many times!

Parking: Big parking lot that is shared with Rite Aid“

“Best hot Pastrami around! Easily feeds 2 people or the same person 2 days, like me :)“

“An unassuming place with very tasty, fairly priced food, B-Man's still got it. Just got a chicken curry bowl, spam musubi, steamed veggies, and an order of fries. I wanted a feast! You know, I love spam musubis and I COMPLETELY forgot that this place has The Best spam musubis. Their grilling of the spam is awesome and their reasonable use of teriyaki sauce really let's you taste it. The chicken curry was as rich as I remember.

Also, I'm very happy I didn't have to pay $8 for a single musubi, unlike some places.

Come here!“

“Shoutout to the employees at Five Guys Pasadena on Lake. Just wanted to praise the employees for being the upstanding and professional people they are. Dropped my wallet full of cash there last night. Went home and didn’t realize til this morning that I didn’t have it in my pocket… Long story short, they found it in the dining area, locked it up overnight,and it was there safe and sound when I called the next morning. Praise God, and praise the young lady who found it and kept it safe. I’m certainly no influencer, but If you are in Pasadena and nearby, please consider giving them some business. Food always comes out quick there and the staff is always friendly!“

“Great food good service and there prices are really good plus the beer and micheladas are very cold 🥶 real good place 👍🏽“

“Been coming to this location since 2005 and what I say is that their food is consistent, crew is attentive and atmospheric restaurant is much better since 2005. It's clean and run like a well oiled machine. So many options of good food to select from. Easy and free parking convenient to shop after at Ralph's and other businesses. If you have the App and a rewards member your purchases add up and you get $10 off quick. I come least few times since we know their food is delicious.

Vegetarian options: Checks holiday hours if you plan on stopping by yo eat.

Parking: May get busy during holidays and lunch but it's worth the wait.

Kid-friendliness: Yes kiddos welcome here. Plenty of tables and seating.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes and handicap parking available.“

“Today was PI Day and the place was super busy. They still managed to move the lines quickly and friendly . The only thing is they gave me the wrong pizzas and I had to return them . The manager Vanessa was great at taking care of the issue and treated me very politely . They were able to remake the pizzas very quickly and beyond that . I appreciate her management skills and leadership .“

“The food is yum the perfect employee’s are very attentive care about their customers very professional they don’t shove your food in a bag and send you on your way. That’s the new thing instead of a tray other restaurants are shoving your food in a to go bag . Very rude I guess think. But not Del “

“Love the sandwiches. By far better than Subway, Quiznos, and my beloved Jersey Mikes. Sorry Jersey Mikes, Jimmy Johns won my taste buds and my co-workers. Psst... Jimmy Johns, can I get a #11 no lettuce add cucumbers? You know who I am at the usps!“

“great burger“

“I came from canada and I was driving around to look for some Indian food that's where I saw curry time and spoke to the host Amita MONGA and the way she welcomed me was unbelievable and the food that she recommended was so mouth watering that I couldn't resist and took some food for home as well for my family Must try thief food“

“There is room for dine-in, though I usually grab takeout. They sometimes use part of the seating space to store extra things, but it is a small location, and I understand the squeeze. All their food is delicious and at great prices.
If you are in Altadena and craving sushi, this is a great local place to grab it.
Sometimes, I will grab sushi from here and grab boba next door at YinYang.

Parking: If picking up, there are 20-minute parking spots by the door. Usually one is available.“

“Food looked just like commercial but tasted even better. Staff was friendly and the restaurant clean. Music wasn't my taste but the guy did cut it down a notch so it wasn't blaring out the speakers.
I would definitely go back good food for not a lot of money!!!“

“Miss Cheese is such a cute little spot with the best soufflé pancakes! I always get them with strawberries, and they’re perfectly light, fluffy, and delicious. I also really like their popcorn chicken… it’s super crispy and flavorful. Great place for a sweet treat or a snack!“

“Blaze Pizza Pasadena was a great find. As someone who sometimes has a fierce but small appetite, I really appreciated the option to order a half pizza — super convenient. I had a half Hawaiian to start (which hit the spot), and honestly ended up wanting another half after that, which made me laugh.

My girlfriend had a full vegan pizza and said it was delicious — lots of customisation options and everything came out fresh and quick. The staff were super nice too — friendly, relaxed, and helpful without any pressure.

Bonus shoutout to the blood orange lemonade — absolutely amazing. Refreshing, not too sweet, and the perfect combo with pizza. The space was clean, service was fast, and the overall vibe was relaxed and welcoming. Definitely worth a stop if you’re in Pasadena.“

“So long as the right Employee's are working the Food & Services are good...

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ♿️ Availability is goof here for both parking spots & the Entrance for this Jack in the Box Location...“

“It was a very nice experience visiting this KFC in my home town. The service was very efficient. Very friendly. 👏“

“Muy buena atención y un personal muy atento y muy limpio y deliciosa comida“

“Delicious teriyaki chicken/ rice/ broccoli, carrots, and zucchini. I love to stop whenever I’m driving back to our Hesperia house after visiting family or friends in Paramount, California“
