50 Best American Restaurants near South Pasadena

“Love the food love the place always delicious 🥘“

“I started dining at Twohey’s in 1977. Today’s visit was nostalgic. I had a wonderful eggs Benedict breakfast. While I didn’t order the hot fudge sundae this time, I will next time for sure. And there will be a next time for sure“

“Delicious breakfast/brunch spot in the South Pasadena area. Breakfast burrito was a little greasy but delicious in its own right. Omelette could’ve been well done but didn’t stop the eggs from being nice and creamy. mint lemonades also are unique and tasty for the Pasadena heat around this time of the year.

Outside area is nice and spacious, plenty of shade and shrubbery all around to give it a welcoming atmosphere. Worth a visit in the area.“

“my best... PATTY MELT WITH FRIES OR THE RIB EYE STEAK MEAL!! GREAT SERVICE! and the boys like it too !“

“The Avocado Toast is my favorite“

“Absolutely fabulous food! Wait staff just delightful! We’ll be back!“

“First time going with my daughter. I love it. Fresh bread and the food absolutely fresh I got in love this place ❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Nice golf course especially for beginners. They 18 holes of par 3’s and driving range.“

“I came in today, for the first time, on Thursday, 04/10, around 3 PM. There were two patrons at the bar top and a cool, friendly bartender, Kiara, came out and took care of me. She was very warm, attentive, and easy to chat with. The place was clean, the bathroom was clean, chill vibe, the locals were friendly, and I felt welcomed. The happy hour prices are very fair and the happy hour nachos were so good! Shout out to chef Pancho! I was told he has been there for a very long time and I know why!

They are cash only (there is an ATM) although I understand you can start a tab with a matching ID. Just pay cash to make it easier for everyone involved. Clean bar top, clean bathroom, plenty of space inside, easy and plentiful parking, and it just seems like a cool place to check out, especially on the evenings and weekends. Once again, the service and food were amazing and the happy hour prices are totally legit!

I am a bar guy, I've been to plenty of bars, low end, upscale, and everything in between, and this place is on my list of places to come back to. Thanks again to Kiara (bartender) and Pancho (chef)! I'll be in again soon!“

“One of the best meals that I have had!“

“love the Quality of Food😍😍😍“

“The chicken and the customer service are so good, I was getting cucked by one of the employees and I made sure to thank him before I left. Will be coming back ?“

“This is a great place to enjoy continental food. I was very surprised at how authentic the Indian food I ordered tasted. I ordered the butter chicken which came with naan, rice and chapatis. Butter chicken. It tasted like professional style and was very nice looking. It even surpassed some of the Indian restaurants I have tried before.“

“Fabulous chicken Sando!!! Absolutely delicious. Everyone is ALWAYS SO FRIENDLY. I try and go as often as I can. 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰“

“Was super happy with our dinner at Hippo. Every dish was delicious. The brussel sprouts and cauliflower starters had excellent flavors. All the pastas we tried had incredible depth of flavor without being overly heavy or greasy. The hippo rolls and table focaccia were excellent and the chicken thighs were to die for. Only thing that was lackluster was the passion fruit gelato. Fun vibe, lots of seating, and great service!“

“After our Altadena house burned down, we relocated to Barker Block and absolutely love being so close to Manuela. We used to have a fire table like yours, so dining here always carries a sense of home. Last night we brought friends, and they said, ‘This makes it hard to go out to eat in Monrovia—our restaurants cut corners with cheap ingredients and fast turnover.’ What your chefs create is the opposite: dishes with not just incredible flavor but extraordinary texture and detail. Their expertise is off the charts, and I highly recommend.“

“The asparagus fries. Crispy & not greasy. You can appreciate the asparagus flavor. We split the Thai spicy salad. It was spicy, but the Thai basil & the peanut dressing were the stars. It didn't need the chicken. The best was the ribeye melt. The meat was cooked perfectly.The sourdough was crusted with parmesan. With a side of horseradish that was perfectly paired for this sandwich.“

“Magnífico lugar para comer!! Excelente servicio Jessica, Jessenia y todos los que trabajan son grandiosos.“

“Got the Large Firebird, $16.43 after taxes and before tip. Bread was solid, with a giant bed of lettuce and a healthy portion of meat and cheese.

Definitely enough food to share between two people. Seating was plentiful at 1:30 PM on a Thursday.“

“Terrific restaurant. Great food in an inviting atmosphere. Exceptional pancakes and coffee. The service was notable for a diner. The seating was comfortable, and the replicas of famous paintings was cool. It is worth mentioning again that the pancakes are head and shoulders above any other that I've tried. I would go out of my way to return to Russell's.“

“took a date there on a weeknight they let me get to my table early to put flowers on the table for m date. the food was great and the drinks were perfect would recommend this place“

“This is my second time here and always met with amazing customer service. Bartender Jesus, and servers Maegan and Nicole are amazing, friendly, and accommodating. I enjoy that it is a team approach to make the customer experience pleasant. Hostess was friendly as well. The food is amazing, especially the fried chicken and shrimp tacos, have a lot of flavor. Due to great staff, ambience, and view, would highly recommend. Thank you all for always making my experience lovely.“

“@holysaintsbistro is a gem in the wall. The quality of food coming out of their cozy, small kitchen is superb. Kudos to the chefs behind the line. I had the duck breast and lamb steak, and both were spectacular. The sauce the lamb was served with gave it just the slightest edge over the duck.

The only item that did not impress was the yellowfin tuna appetizer. It was smothered in seasoning that diminished any flavor of the fish and completely overpowered it.

Besides that, my dinner was exquisite.“

“Breakfast goals achieved! Generous portions, delicious homemade biscuits, and an omelette that could serve two. Friendly staff made it even better. My favorite meal done right 💕☕“

“Curbside pickup for me & my daughter“

“Such Wonderful atmosphere, food and coffee! 💖🎉🥳 They also have a super sweet display of gourmet treats!!! 🤩“

“I really want to give it five stars and I may come again in the future. The food is great, to be honest, the pork shoulder and mushroom rice is enough.“

“Love it, first time taking my wife. First time for me in five years; food was amazing! Love the patio seating, it was a perfect night. Despite the concert at the Rose Bowl, service was on point. Clifton was great, attentive, friendly and very knowledgeable. My steak was cooked to perfection; both sauces rock but my favorite was the peppercorn. We will be back“

“Arcadia location... we went for the Monday pizza deal, it was delicious, Marco provided great professional service, would definitely recommend!“

“Excellent food and drink menu. Great service and ambience. We sat on the patio and had a gorgeous view of the LA river.

The cocktails, burger, and dessert menu were particularly great, I loved the wine selections as well. We definitely plan on returning ASAP.“

“Why is a quality turkey sandwich so hard to find in LA? ghost sando, gjusta, ggiata never hit the spot.

Yet, everything about The Broadway is perfect. Banh mi like baguette bread, thinly cut turkey, and a sauce/seasoning combo that is actually perfect. Salty creamy with the best balance of veggies.

The only cold cut I’ll ever want and need.“

“Amazing, always come here before the Kings games!“

“I recommend Botanica to everyone. They use fresh hand picked ingredients and the food is delicous! Their cocktails and desserts are so yum. I picked up some chile oil and pickled local veggies for gifts for my friends! Chef Zarah and the staff are best. Will definitely be returning soon.“

“Salad was tasty . I’ll be back to try burgers they looked amazing .“

“My favorite breakfast place when we visit DTLA. The atmosphere is excellent and it’s next to my favorite bar.“

“Great food Great place Definitely will return“

“BEST sandwich in LA hands down (I get the broadway), we have them at least once a week because we live close. Excellent customer service always. Not just great sandys but also fantasticly fresh shrimp salad and pasta's great too. They also have a unique selection of natural wine and beer. We love heights <3“

“It's rare when every plate you order is great but from the appetizer to salad to entree to cocktail to dessert --everything was delicious. The biscuits and ham were fantastic. The wedge salad had great flavor contrasts. I had the stroganoff which was fantastic, highly recommend it. My lady had the flat iron steak which was generous and had an excellent char. I had the rum drink where the surfer's go, and it was hard not to order another one!
If you're in Eagle Rock I definitely recommend dinner and drinks at Little Beast.“

“It was wonderful! Historic surroundings (ask about it). The staff provided assistance with the menu and offered valuable suggestions. The service was great and pizza was quickly delivered without compromise. Created with quality ingredients and crust with a nice chew. I highly recommend this one.“

“The food has to be experienced!! It’s high-end in taste and presentation, and the staff are professional but so fun that you feel like you’re with family. They are attentive to detail and will bend over backwards to make sure you have what you need. Service with a smile; this company is pure joy!“

“The staff is great and friendly. The food is delicious!“
