It's a decent quick breakfast place, the price is not as expensive as others these days. The service is fast, parking is free, but small lot. They have good side condiments and outside tables and inside as well.

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.

I haven't been here since covid and I was quite surprised that the quality and the quantity has not changed at all. It's still very affordable for what you pay. I would definitely come back to this establishment more often. I ordered the tops original burger and zucchini fries and they were definitely on point with everything. The place looks clean and well-maintained.

The food is solid. The service is solid. Their menu has so many choices! You can get almost anything, but it's all solid. Nothing loosey goosey. I had their BLAT, bacon lettuce tomatoe avocado sandwich, and it was solid. It had creamy ripe avocados and thick crunchy bacon. And I also had their fried zucchini. Perfect! I also tasted their chili cheese fries, with thin julien fries, which was perfect with the chili, not too heavy like the thick cut fries. I need to go back to try their other good eats. Oh, I forgot to mention their pastrami... wow! It was so good. Maybe better than The Hat's! Go try!

Been coming here for years. Drive thru and dine in. Never ever had an issue, food is always great. The only thing I can complain about is when they cut the burger in half the paper is never cut all the way thru, by and I struggle to rip it without getting all messy with the juices.

Loved this place! I read some not so positive reviews but was really in the mood for a pastrami sandwich. In a blind choosing, my boyfriend happened to pick this one which I was secretly hoping for so here we are. Yes, parking is tight but we parked on the street. This place was popping when we got here. We ordered very easily and quickly and one of the highlights of our whole trip was the kind happy amazing woman that took our order. Esperanza you deserve mention here and a raise! Great experience, great food and I recommend sitting street side with a yummy order of food and a beer. We got the pastrami which I had with Cole slaw that I put between the meat, sweet potato fries, like a whole sweet potato freshly fried. So yummy, I recommend the bbq sauce for dipping. My man had a polish sausage with kraut and pastrami on top. Chef's kiss! Ambience is simple fast food restaurant vibe. We will be back!
