“Ok Pastrami Dip is my suggested order to treat yourself here. BUT I saw a couple gentlemen get their order of pastrami and chili fries, oh, my. Gotta bring 3 friends to help me eat it all. Must try thst my next visit to The Hat. And free refills on drinks. Very generous.“

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

“Carl's jr triple famous star ok to eat not unhealthy don't add cheese I added extra onions green chilies with coffee great taste I see other people review. California economy. Newsom. Under staffed true vegetarian people don't go here. Hamburgers are their specialty. The people are not diet nutrition experts. Look at the food to order.“

“A Pasadena classic! Perfect for when you’re out walking with doggies and you want a quick bite. There’s a walkup counter you order from, and a dog-friendly patio in the back (there’s also indoor seating, but no dogs allowed). Ample parking, too!“

“I've come to this location so many times over the years and it's always been consistently good. I usually just use the drive thru but the service is always fast. Ambiance in this area is ok, due to the PCC being nearby and it helping the area be good. The food itself is always fantastic. The Big Carl is like a Big Mac, but better (and I am a huge Big Mac enthusiast). The limited-edition churro milkshake is fantastic btw, please give it a try if it's still available by the time you read this.“

“Excellent😋 we had a great experience at Blaze Pizza! The pizza was fresh, delicious, and made exactly how we wanted it. The ingredients tasted high quality, and the crust was perfectly baked. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and worked quickly while still paying attention to every order. The restaurant was clean, and the overall atmosphere made our visit enjoyable. We’ll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend Blaze Pizza in Pasadena to anyone looking for a fast, fresh, and tasty meal!“

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

“This place is truly a hidden gem. The chicken is always so flavorful, and their salsa never misses! it’s consistently delicious every single time. Honestly, it beats a lot of the big chain spots. We love coming here, and the prices are very reasonable. Portions are generous too, we almost always leave with leftovers for the next day.“

“I enjoyed going to the Panda Express in Pasadena. The service was excellent; I was served quickly and the staff was really helpful and friendly. The food was good and tasty. I had Quinoa, Beef Broccoli, and Grilled Teriyaki Chicken (no sauce) and fountain drink.“

“I downloaded the app so I can get the free burrito including my order and I missed the mark by 1 minute of the cutoff time of being able to order online the girl that took my order in the cashier she was so lovely that she actually showed me how to get the code and still gave me my free item even though I didn't pay with the app or online the food was good nice and warm and fresh and the best you could expect from any Taco Bell the Avion serious lovely for a Taco Bell there aren't many graffitis or vandalism or low class hanging outside. You definitely relax and enjoy yourself for a brief moment or just eat in the car and watch the pasture buys enjoying some fiesta cantina menu a freezie or whatever floats your boat!!!“

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

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

“First thing is I might be very lucky, only times I have ever been here it’s little to no line & the employees are ALWAYS working behind the scenes .. today I got Fany ! She is so pretty & friendly, I’ve been to other blazes & they make your pizza sloppy & just thrown together .. Fany made me a beautiful pizza with the perfect amount of toppings & that really turned this transaction into an experience, I’m leaving knowing I will enjoy every bite because Fany cared about my meal. Thank you Fany & thank you blaze team for always being amazing !“

“I travel 3 miles to this Subway due to its friendly staff and safe environment. Parking is more convenient, and there's less traffic. Service is quick, and the food is enjoyable. The store is impeccably clean, rated 10/10, with a clean, password-protected restroom. Overall, I highly recommend this location for both dining in and takeout.“

“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!“

“Recently started revisiting this establishment for healthy good tasting food even though it’s a bit out of the way. Salsa bar is always clean, and workers are kind and courteous.
It’s never too crowded given the large space. Food is delicious and definitely a healthier alternative.“

“Jack in the Box is located at 1415 East Colorado Boulevard Pasadena California 91106. Sitting on the corner of Hill and East Colorado Boulevard it is very visible when driving or walking. Open 24 hours a day, it has both sit down and drive-thru service.

Jack in the Box advertised a lot on TV and flyers. There is always a special available. These are very good deals most
of the time. I was surprised at the excellent service that I received when ordering. The staff member explained the different selections and options that were available. I put in my final order and sat and waited for my number to be called. After about 10 minutes I was handed a bag filled with my order and was on my way home. It was a nice day and I enjoyed the walk in this scenic area across from PCC.

When I got home I was able to unpack my carefully wrapped order. I was eager to try the egg rolls first. They were crunchy full of flavor and larger than I had expected. Dipping sauce was not even necessary. The sweet sour sauce did add an extra touch. Two tacos were next on my list. They were thin, individually packed, and tasty.

The Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger was as advertised…great flavor and fresh grilled taste. I was impressed. It did not look like a fast food burger.

The Home Style Ranch Chicken Club had a crisp chicken texture. The chicken filet was thick and filled with flavor. The bacon was crisp and cooked to my specification.

This is a great place with a lot of combinations for food. I like that they paid close attention to the details of each part of my order. I will be back to try some of their other specials.“

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

“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!“

“great burger“

“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.“

“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!“

“This was my first time having Ben's and my first time visiting a ghost kitchen. There's limited street parking in front of the kitchen, and there's parking on the side at the former Rite Aid lot. When your food is ready for pickup, pull up your email confirmation to scan at one of the kiosks/screens inside the ghost kitchen. A woman brought my food up once I scanned my email confirmation.

As for the food, it all tasted good and fresh. It's a healthy and reasonably priced fast food option. I had the chicken hearty bowl with a side of chickpeas and potatoes. All of it was so good.

The only reason I removed a star was the tiny portion of chicken I received with my bowl. Other than that, I'd definitely try this place out again.“

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

“5 stars
I visited this location around 9:00 PM and wanted to recognize the manager on duty. I unfortunately didn't catch her name, but she demonstrated some of the best customer service I've seen in a long time.

During a challenging customer interaction, she remained calm, professional, patient, and respectful throughout. She listened carefully, acknowledged concerns, and handled the situation with a level of composure that was genuinely impressive.

As someone who works in management and regularly deals with public-facing situations, I know how difficult that can be. Her communication skills and professionalism stood out and are a credit to this location.

Thank you for the excellent leadership and customer service.“

“These fluffy pancakes were actually worth it! Super soft, airy, and melt in your mouth. A little pricey, but definitely worth trying at least once. The cream and syrup made them sooo good without being too sweet. Cute spot too! Also has a restroom, only available to costumers (: 🤍“

“Honestly, the best sushi experience I’ve had in a minute! The fish quality is insane—everything tasted so fresh and literally melted in my mouth. I’m super picky about my sushi, but they absolutely nailed it. The atmosphere is such a vibe, and the presentation of the rolls was just stunning. Definitely found my new go-to dinner spot! 🍣✨“

“I don't know why this Del Taco location has such low ratings. I've gone like 2 or 3 times over the past week or so at around 12pm or 1pm via the drive through and the lady that took care of me was professional, friendly and efficient. I'm not the biggest fan of Mexican food and even I can appreciate how good the jumbo shrimp tacos are. 2 for 6 bucks are an absolute steal. Ambiance is great too, right on Lake and close to the McDonald's, so mostly a safe area during both day and night.“

“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!“

“I love coming to this WaBa! They’re always consistent with the quality of food they provide and their customer service is amazing. Chris, is always welcoming and puts a smile on your face! Definitely recommend this WaBa to anyone in the community. 10/10“

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

“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.“

“This is the best Yoshinoya I’ve been to in a long time. They were very fast, that’s a good thing. But really it’s Hong…he’s one of the most positive people I’ve ever met in California. The guy just gives off good energy. This place is lucky to have him.“
