45 Best Fast Food Restaurants in Pasadena

“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 breakfast burrito at Lucky Boy in Pasadena is absolutely legendary! The burrito is massive, its satisfying, and packed with flavor. It's a must-try for anyone craving a hearty start to the day.\n\nI do have to stay the burrito isn't the only star at Lucky Boy. The patty melt, the chili cheese fries and the fried zucchini sticks are a must have. \n\nThe biggest star at Lucky Boy is the staff. You can tell they have great leadership that is guiding them to provide excellent service every time.“

“I was a regular at Connal's when I lived in Pasadena twenty-odd years ago. I came for a visit and the food still tastes the same as it did back then. Delicious! I got my son the cheeseburger and he said it was very good. That is high praise from him. We want to go back when we visit again.“

“One of the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had. The pastrami, the bun is all amazing. I unfortunately don't live near one so I have to grab it when I'm driving by. Unfortunately I have no pictures because I immediately started eating it the moment I brought it to the table. 🤣“

“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!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

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

Total: 8.88$

It’s not only a deal, it’s filling, it’s incredibly good, it’s an institution.
Try all these new trendy places all you want but make sure you show love to local places like this.“

“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.“

“It's one of the best ,beef or chicken teriyaki plates and Japanese food in California .“

“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.“

“I went about 330 and it was empty, but got busy soon after. Pizza was fantastic, lady who made it was very nice, bathrooms were clean a n, and they play good music. Highly recommended. Paid 15.50 for a pizza that I are alone but could feed two“

“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 .“

“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.“

“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“

“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 “

“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!“

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

“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“

“Love this place. Is there food something I could make myself? Yes, probably. But you can't beat getting a healthy, well rounded meal, and their prices are so reasonable. And being dairy and soy free is also amazing. Seriously where else these days can you get a full meal for only $10 that isn't garbage for you?“

“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.

“It was great, I had a birthday coupon and I though I was going to be able to order the minimal sandwich on the menu but to my amazement he said anything in the menu. Good sandwich!“

“I just stopped by and chose the large popcorn chicken. I recieved atleast two pounds of lightly breaded extra crispy popcorn chicken. The flavor was excellent and the portion size was amazing for the price. I also purchased a strawberry green tea. The flavor and size was great for 3.99. I highly recommend eating here.“

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

“ME ENCANTO MI BIG MAC Y MIS PAPITAS CALIENTITAS Y SOBRE TODO LA ATENCION DEL EMPLEADO POR EL DRIVETRUE“

“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.

“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...“

“Came here for dinner tonight and I must say Angel was a SUPERSTAR. Not only was he working by himself, but he was cool, calm and collected in such a stressful situation. I really didn’t understand why he was by himself during a dinner time rush, but the fact that he’s STILL A TRAINEE… I was shocked. I’ve honestly never come across a better employee at Subway! Let’s just say he was so good that I never thought I would leave a review for Subway…“

“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.“

“🌮🔥 Taco Bell is the GOAT! 🔥🌮

Listen, I may only be able to afford the cheapest items on the menu, but let me tell you—those Cheesy Bean and Rice Burritos 🌯 and Spicy Potato Soft Tacos 🌮 hit HARD every time! 💥 The perfect combo of flavor, affordability, and that little rush of happiness when you hear “your order is ready” 🛎️.

Where else can you get a full meal for the price of loose couch change?? 🪙💰 Nowhere, that’s where! 💯 T-Bell understands the struggle and DELIVERS. 🚀 The crunch, the spice, the melty cheese—every bite is a blessing 🙌.

Taco Bell: for the broke, the hungry, and the enlightened. 🔮✨“
