“This place is fun. The gyros are piled full of meat. I have visited twice now. The people are nice and the place is clean. The only odd thing is that my fries tasted like fish. I noticed that they offer fish and chips, so you might want to keep the fries and fish in separate deep fryers.“

“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.“

But bruh, can a get more than 2 ounces of salmon next time, and not cooked like carne asada?“

“I've come here many times. Every time the servings are huge! I love it. They also have TV's here to watch sports on because of the Hoots Wings that is inside of their dining room. Convenient way to get both your pizza and wing fix. Could be a five star but the team just seems so apathetic and like they don't wanna be there. They work quick but take no time to engage with the guest. In addition, the kitchen had about 6-7 staff and the dining room had no one attending to it so the benches and tables were dirty and chairs weren't pushed in and in the way of the walk ways.“

“I just had to share my recent experience at this Chick-fil-A. On April 6, 2024, I accidentally left my bag, containing my wallet, at this particular location. When I realized, I called them immediately and thankfully, they had it. Since I couldn't retrieve it during the week and I live far away, they kindly agreed to hold onto it for me.On Monday, they not only confirmed they still had my bag but also offered to ship it to me! A generous employee even took the time to go to the post office. The restaurant was most likely going to cover the costs for my shipping by I insisted on covering the shipping costs since I needed my bag ASAP (I got overnight shipping). The employee took a picture of the receipt with the tracking information so I could keep track of the package.Today, April 9, I received my bag, wallet, and everything else intact! I'm immensely grateful for the exceptional service and kindness shown by the Chick-fil-A team. Their willingness to go the extra mile made all the difference. Huge thanks to them for their outstanding assistance inside and outside the restaurant!“

Having exhausted all possibilities in a 24 hour period, we gave one last grasp of hope by walking into Linda's store, and after inquiring of the key, Linda reached in to her magic drawer, and pulled our out Key....

“When I usually order a sandwich, I like to have the bread pulled out and many times, the person helping me will only pull out a little. Then I have to ask them to pull out more, which they tend not to do or will tell me that the bread will tear. However, an employee by the name of "Angel" actually listened to my request and did an awesome job. He was able to pull out a good amount of bread without a problem, making my sandwich the best ever. Something simple like that makes such a difference to customers, like me. That type of quality customer service will make him an excellent manager, one day!!! THANK YOU ANGEL AND SUBWAY...“

“I've been wanting to try this restaurant for a long time now and glad I finally did. As a local Pasadena restaurant I've seen many businesses at this location change many times. So far this restaurant has been doing well since covid. Food: double cheeseburger bao: it came with fries. The bread was super soft and fluffy. The burger was surprisingly juicy and delicious. The fries were on the skinnier side. I would prefer either thicker fried or tater tots. Sui Mai and hargow(shrimp dumplings)Sui Mar and hargow was fresh and delicious. It wasn't salty it's definitely the same if not better than going to downtown Chinatown. This was a lot closer and good to know that I can get dim sum until 9pmIce tea:Was fresh and cold. Not too sweet and not water down.Restaurant:We went here around 730pm and literally there was one person here eating which I prefer peace and quiet. I actually took my family and baby here. They're normally busy and most of their orders are from grub hub or other online food services.Parking: I came here after 6p there plenty of parking which is an outside parking lot shared by Teddy's tacos and subway. During the daytime it's a limited parking time of 40mins. The majority of people that eat here during the daytime are PCC students.Overall experience:I highly recommend giving them a try. If you like dim sum and burgers this is the place to go to“
