“We came here on a whim because "the Dive" was packed and we didn't want to wait. We've been here to the Creat few times in thr past and it was good from our past experience. The entrance is at the back, by the parking lot. We came right in and we seated ourselves at the 2nd booth because all the other booths and bar were filled with people. We waited and found out through yelp that you look at the board for a dinner menu and an appetizer menu. It's very simple, steak for $14.99 or burger for $7.49. Cheeseburger is 7.99. The one lady was busy serving and cooking so we ordered with the bartender. It took a while for our food because she's the only one person. We started off with their fried zucchini sticks and they were delicious!! It's far cheaper than any place for fried zucchinis for $4.99 and ut was a giod amount. It came with two ranch dressings for dipping sauce. Soon our steak dinner plate and cheeseburger plate came and we enjoyed both. They have about 7 tvs to watch sports or whatever happens to be on. Both the bartender and the lady server/chef were pleasant to talk to. While I was yelping, I happen to leave my phone at our booth and we paid and left. After an hour later, I had realized my phone wasn't with me so our daughter called them to ask, sure enough they had it to the side for us to pick it up. They're great honest people and I would return any day for a simple meal!! Thanks very much!!“
“Double lanes, efficient drive-thru.Be advised that going in the left lane means you'll be paying and getting your food by the passenger side of your car.If you have a passenger, this is fine, but if you're a lone driver, be prepared to have to unbuckle and awkwardly try to reach over.Other than that, typical in n out place. Have never eaten inside, looks fairly small. I see people walking up to order all the time and they are always really fast.“
“If I could give the service a 10000/5 I would. The entire staff was AMAZING. Attentive, thoughtful and all around kind guys. The chicken tenders and the comeback sauce were so flippen delicious! If you are nearby, this is a MUST STOP destination.“
“Easily the best wine list in Alhambra and possibly the SGV and Pasadena area. If you're looking for a curated wine list with excellent European and American options served alongside a stacked food menu this is your spot. It's not cheap but the quality of the food and service is well worth the price. We've needed elevated dining in Alhambra for years and we finally have it with Yang's.“
“Food was amazing! The service was bad! Very expensive but I expected to be better taken care of. They were fully staffed but no one seemed to be working efficiently. We were 8 and none of the food runners ever knew who ordered what. They had to ask on every plate they brought. Not just our table but others as well. I don’t know if they have busboys as our table was never cleared. Plates upon plate stacked up. No one asked if we wanted a second drink and the glasses were never picked up. When we ordered dessert we had to move the 16 empty drink and water glasses to one side, gather the bread plates, wipe everything down and wait for our desserts. It was a busy night but not too busy for bad service. I kinda expected more than diner service at such an expensive restaurant.“
“Celebrated a birthday. 1st time here. 1st peeps there at 11 a.m. on Saturday. Sabrina was amazing. overall, the team was fun and in good spirits. Brisket the best, although not on brunch menu-have to try mac & cheese. Brunch provides lots of tasty options. Eggs and potatoes best when fresh. The pasole and chiliquilies bar tasty. Ribs, brisket, tri tip...homemade sausage breakfast tacos...25 bottomless mimosas w various flavors. Got packed after awhile. Has tvs for sports enjoyment and patio. Must go!Parking: Parking lot across street, meter parking on street“
“Great atmosphere, definitely a nice date place. The service was great and friendly. I didn’t have a reservation but they were able to give me a seat at the bar. I ordered the onion soup and beef tartare. Supposedly onion soup is their signature dish, but it was really salty, I was a bit disappointed…. Because it was a $20 bowl of soup. The beef tartare was excellent, it would be nice if they offer one extra slice of bread and some more salad leaves. I was happy that they have half bottle of wine that I can order. Wine list is quite nice.“
“I wanted to share my recent experience at this fantastic restaurant. The ambiance was old-school sophisticated, and it felt like we were transported to a different era by the Bossanova songs playing in the background. The chill rhythm of the music made me feel like we were living in an episode of Mad Men, and I secretly hoped that the boy from Ipanema would show up at the table next to ours.What helped make it a truly memorable experience was the Monterey Chicken. I'd had it before but couldn't find it on the menu. Our server was confident the Chef would make it for me, and she was right.A chicken breast pounded thin with the lightest breading cooked to perfection. The light golden chicken filled the plate, supporting a hollandaise sauce that blanketed avocado and tomato wedges. Each bite of the chicken alone was a delight, with the slightly rough texture and buttery taste delighting my tongue. Alternating with bites that included the creamy, perfectly ripe avocado and then the crisp freshness of the tomato made sure my mouth didn't get bored.I wish I'd remembered to take a photo first because the eyes are the first step to enjoying a meal. And in this case, I pushed all other thoughts out of my head, leaving only that desire for the first bite...and then another and another.When you are looking for something lighter than beef, you won't be disappointed by this one.At some point, I will extend this review or add another if Google allows that. In the meantime, let me know what your fav dish is at Dal Rae.“
“Nick's always delivers great food at reasonable prices. My wife had the seafood cioppino with was good but it didn't have any scallops or crabs in it. The broth had a lot of cooked tomatoes. I had the meatloaf which was very good. Service was great and the sour dow bread is the best.“
“Food was absolutely delicious !! Loved the Blondie wings and the Alabama white sauce (tastes like the mayo that you put on esquites and elotes). The fries were delicious too, not too salty and a little sweet. Also had some mac and cheese (it was bomb), and the brisket sandwich was really good too :-)!!“
“The 20 oz. Rib eye and Filet Mignon steaks, Potato Romanoff and racing atmosphere made our evening superb. The only thing better was our server "Bobby"who is on top of his game. We look forward to seeing him and another great dinner at The Derby in October. Thank you for making our evening so special.Richie and Marcia Mc DonaldParking: Easy Valet Parking, very professional staff - a delight to do business with“
“We really enjoyed our experience here. In fact, I have shared with several people since then how much I enjoyed being there, and the fact that it was the best meal I have had for sometime. We had the pork chops and salmon. In particular, we felt the meals were very tasty, well presented, and the carrot cake dessert was unique and simultaneously light and decadent. The service was also excellent. Our drinks were regularly filled, and someone was always checking in with us to make sure all of our needs were fulfilled. The only thing I would change is better signage for parking. It was unclear which parking lot was specific for the restaurant, and because the road is one way, we both, in our separate cars, ended up having to go all the way around the block before figuring out precisely where to go. I had to call for specific instructions, and the person with me called me for further instructions. Better signage outside, and also signage for precisely where to once you get out of your car, would be helpful. Also, since you can only park on one side of the parking lot, signage for that would also be helpful.“
“The workers are great. However they try to push you in and out. Can’t even enjoy a conversation with the fam because they check in endlessly and give you the check halfway thru the meal. But this is a dennys standard at any dennys I’ve been to.“

“Historical Pasadena restaurant that some people forget about. I hadn’t been here for years until this evening. I’d give 5 stars, but my pork chop was dry and little overcooked. Everything else was wonderful, including the drinks. It’s very intimate inside, but as the restaurant fills up it gets quite loud. The patio is covered and heated, but you may find yourself having to talk over the nearby tables or road noise. Valet parking only, $8 at the time of this review. There is street parking available on Fair Oaks though.“
“My girlfriend and I went to our second Valentine's dinner here last week. Not many places can pull off Valentines Day like Bistro 45 does. Everything came out timely and up to their usual standards. Our favorite waiter Mehdi treated us like family. This is the most consistent restaurant we've ever eaten at. Thank you guys so much! Rick and Linda“
“Flavorful food and great cocktails in an Orleans-vibe atmosphere. I had the braised chicken with peanut sauce. It was super tender. Why can't I carmelize sweet potatoes that good? Husband had jalapeño flank steak. The angel biscuit was straight out of the oven. OMG.“
“This place is like a wayyyyy better Panera with delicious sandwiches and salads. Also a lot of veggie options and customization in the app. This will become a fairly regular place for us after recent visits. The tofu banh mi is awesome and the salads have so much great tasting and healthy stuff in them. The Japanese chili dressing should be bottled! Definitely try this spot out.“
“Wow! I randomly found this place and it’s fantastic. Definitely a hidden gem. Loved the asian fish and chips but unfortunately forgot to take a pic! Everything on the menu looked amazing and I will definitely be back to try something new.Edit: I went back a second time and it was just as good as the first! The southern sea bass and collard greens… Amazing.“
“First off Dennis is the man!!Welcoming, kind and helpfulNow the food!!!Absolutely RIDICULOUS... Literally some of the best pancakes waffles and BUTTER I have ever had in my 44 years on this earth....More than anything from the bacon to the eggs etc you can tell it's not cheap ingredients....they are using quality top to bottom“
“I recently moved to the area and this was our first time at The Proper Restaurant but it most certainly won't be our last. Everything ... and I mean everything was excellent! I started out with the Proper Clover Club cocktail and it was so refreshing and delicious. My husband and I then shared the white chicken chili which was equally delicious. For our entrees, my husband ordered the miso salmon which was out of this world and I got the chicken piccata. The chicken was cooked perfectly, lightly breaded and the pasta was tossed in a wonderful lemonny piccata. I also had a Malbec which was so smooth, I wanted to order the whole bottle (but alas, I did not). And since everything else was so good, we couldn't leave without ordering dessert -- the warm butter toffee cake. My mouth is still watering thinking about it. I can't wait to go back to The Proper Restaurant!“
“I came to Lazy Dog on Saturday with my friend for brunch, and we had a great time. I ordered the Fire Cracker Shrimp and Chilaquilles, and both were AMAZING. The service was good and the atmosphere was nice as well. I definitely plan to come back.“
“Our family went on 3/30/24.Great service, the manager sat our party of 16 within 15 minutes. They accommodated us perfectly. We had five little ones with us and they brought their food out first which was awesome. Thank you so much for making our experience great!!Kid-friendliness: Great options for kids!“
“As a former customer service manager for a Fortune500 company, I always pay attention to servive.I was Very Impressed with this Sizzler!!Wow! Great service!Everyone is friendly & attentive, from the cashiers, to the servers, to the busboy & the manager. They WORK!! :)I was impressed with the manager Aileen. She was making her rounds happily greeting the customers.She stopped by our table & we had a delightful conversation. She is sweet & super friendly. She takes such pride in managing her restaurant that she was sweeping the floors to make sure it was clean for the customers.She even gave my mother & I a beautiful hug when we left & said, "God Bless."I LOVE THIS SIZZLER ♡Vegetarian options: Salad bar for vegetarians.“

“Shared a pizza and salad with a friend…the food was totally delicious! The venue is very cozy and friendly. The wait staff were extremely attentive.Parking: Arrived for an early lunch at 11am, and parking in the parking garage was plentiful. The elevator took us close to the restaurant.Validation is available for restaurant customers. With validation, I ended up not having to pay for parking, even after enjoying a leisurely lunch with my friend.“
“AltaEats offers a culinary journey with highs and lows. This was my second visit to AltaEats. The first time was a 5 out 5. This visit offered inconsistency in both food and service. The salads (burrata and caesar) at AltaEats were a standout, offering fresh and flavorful combinations. Make sure to the delicious bacon-wrapped dates; a delightful blend of sweet and savory. The rib eye was okay. It didn't quite live up to our expectations. The bread & butter and pot de creme were both delicious. We fought over the lest bits of the desert. The service was a mixed. One waitress, notably wearing a provocative necklace, left much to be desired in terms of friendliness and professionalism. On the other hand, the second waitress provided exceptional service, going above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience AltaEats offers a culinary adventure with standout dishes and a mix of service experiences. Your experiences may vary. They did for me.“
“Giving them 5 stars for quality of food matched with reasonable prices. We got the pork chops, steak sandwich, beef taco, and taquitos. Driving through Old Town Monrovia after 9 pm looking for a place to eat and found JB Burgers. We didn't want just a burger, and was happy to see that their menu had a good mix of food and each of us could find something we liked. You order at a window on the street side. The inside seating was closed because it was almost closing time, so we took it to go and ate in the car but they did offer us to use the patio seating (it was a little too chilly out). Everyone enjoyed their food. I had the pork chops which were excellent. The plate comes with two thin cut pork chops. They weren't dry and had great grill flavor. The staff were very friendly and knew the ingredients of the menu. We would definitely stopped there again when in Monrovia for a quick bite to eat.“
“Thank you to our server Honesty. Absolutely wonderful food. Chic and modern atmosphere. Service is exceptional. Great drinks!. Definitely coming back. Expect to have at least about an hour of wait time to be seated, but definitely worth it. A+“
“Amazing food, ambiance, wine, and staff! Tucked away on Holly St., a few blocks over from Colorado. Old town local vibe. Super chill. I've been trying new restaurants in the area and decided to pop in early on a Fri nite. Got a seat at the counter overlooking the chef preparing all the meals. Ordered a rose, very tasty. Short ribs with mash potatoes. Amazing! I will definitely be back to try more things. Highly recommend. We really don't have anything like this in Pasadena.“
“I once had a bad experience at the Burbank location. However this place seems to have gotten their act together. The food was fine a little small but fine. But the drinks, drink menu and bartenders were impressive. Attentive bartenders despite the ample size of this place. Knowledgeable too. I had 2 penicillins and a Hemingway daiquiri. My associate had a sidecar bourbon and wine. I've had drinks at the bar and outside where the bartenders open up a window and you are served from the outside. Pretty cool“
“Pasadena and downtown this last fortnight. Nostagic deliciousness @parkwaygrill, peerless steaks. Returning there for the fourth time - our first visit was in 1994. Last night we enjoyed @majordomola . Koreanish food, at it's best generous and full flavoured. Standouts include the pork shoulder, duck confit rice and the flambe(d) doughnuts.Next time we'll try their signature rib dish too. Take an appetite and lots of family. Also loved Houstons. Beautiful restaurant with signature French dip sandwich @houstonsrestaurants“
“We've come here a few times and the food and drinks are generally pretty good. Decent ambiance and looks like it was originally a house that was converted into a restaurant. Making reservations can be a bit of a process. Rarely will someone pick up the phone, but there is a way to make reservations online through their website which does require a credit card deposit and for you to sign up with this reservations app. Some items on the menu are a bit overpriced as some other reviewers mentions, but we would definitely come back.“
“One of our favorite steak restaurants to celebrate special occasions. Must go on Tuesdays for their tomahawk Tuesday meal deal. Service is always on point and great atmosphere at this location. Lobster Mac and cheese is highly recommended. Porterhouse and tomahawk steaks are amazing and cooked perfectly. Highly recommend this restaurant to celebrate that special occasion.“
“This place is amazing. My friend made reservations for us about a month in advance. We were seated right away. We had the options of either seafood or beef menu. We choose the beef menu. This is my first dining experience so I was looking forward to everything. This was a unique 12 course experience and the staff here did an amazing job. Every item that came out was very good. Tucked inside a hotel you wouldn't know about this place but I am glad my friend found it. We now made it a yearly thing to come back here and have dinner here now“
“The chicken fried steak and eggs was AMAZING!!! OMG the gravy was delicious, it was like the steak juice was in this mix. The sourdough bread was soft and delicious witj a little butter and grape jelly. I dipped the bread in the gravy and almost fainted at how good it was lol. The coffee is bomb the service was great and the vibe was chill. We will go again!Chicken fried steak was a hit ya'll !“
“Thee best place for breaded fried fish and shrimp. They have daily specials with many different items to choose from. Not only seafood but steak, chicken, and burgers. Thursday dine in only,1 free kids meal w/purchase of 1 menu item over $13.95. Kids under 12. So many special combinations. Daily specials and take out family packs. Many items that I wanted to try, but i didn't know where to start. So I will be going back real soon. Oh prices are very, very reasonable. Trust me you won't be disappointed.Parking: Corner restaurant so u can get in or get out parking lot easily. Handicapp parking space is limited.“
“Hands down a great experience!At first I thought it was a bit pricey for brunch but unlike many places, it is well WORTH IT.We got the Nashville Chicken Sandwich and the Popping Yolk burger, and were highly impressed.The portions were large which included the best roasted potatoes and regular garden salad. My boyfriend visiting from Ireland said those were the best potatoes he’s had since visiting lolEverything was seasoned well and the burger was cooked just right. The staff were friendly and helpful, you order before you sit down.I went purposely on a rainy day and there was plenty of seating around 1:00pm in the afternoon. The menu selection was great, will definitely want to try one of the Benedict’s on my next visit. Will definitely come back again!“
“Went on Thursday night around 7 pm and it was busy. The wait was not long though. I got the chili cheese fries with pastrami. This has been my go to for the past 10 years. It's so big it can serve 2-3 people. Seating is not the greatest. You have to get your table quick! This place is a must!“
“Found Green Street Restaurant on Google while looking for a place to have lunch in Pasadena. We were served by Joe who took such great care of us. Food was delicious and came out hot, Joe kept our drinks full. Big fan. Will definitely come again next time I’m in Pasadena.“
“We enjoyed our meal. The service was top-notch and very friendly. Adrien, the manager, was wonderful and assured my friend that she could eat without fear of her allergies to nuts and shellfish. We both got burgers and fries-- mine was the veggie burger. I would eat there again.Vegetarian options: The veggie burger was the best I've ever had. It was full of flavor!Dietary restrictions: My friend has allergies to nuts and shellfish and was able to eat here.“
“Trendy 21st century meets old Pasadena. I love the design and decor of this place. This is a great spot for orderves and drinks. The owner, is a solid guy who genuinely cares about the people around him, his restaurant and customers.Go support a good man!“
“This place has a wonderful atmosphere, especially if you can snag a seat on the patio. The fresh air and (presumably) lovely weather make for a relaxing dining experience. The food itself is fresh and tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. Service could be a touch more attentive, but overall it's a great and affordable way to enjoy a meal out.“
“The wait time was 5 minutes with a full house. Got sat before 5 minutes. The sever Bryan was super friendly, attentive, and got us anything we needed. The food was delicious, more than fairly priced, and was flavorful. I will be coming back when I visit California again!“
“I always come for the hot dogs here. I remember when they were 1.50Now they're 5 bucksThey uae to be 2.50 right before covidFmlAnyways they use boarshead hot dogs. The only other place that uses boarshead is cupids but they're in the valley.“

“This was my first time at the Raymond. I subtracted 1 star for service. It wasn't bad, just could be polished up a tad. Plates were left on the table between courses necessitating the server to clear them. The food was very good. It's not fine dining—does not pretend to be so—it's more akin to the casera vibe. It's as if you were eating at a friend's home, albeit a friend that really knows how to cook. We sampled the chicken and the pork chop. The chicken was outstanding. As we all know, chicken is a challenging protein to cook perfectly. And it was. It arrived hot and juicy and expertly seasoned. My comment on the pork is only representing my own flavor profile; I found it to be needing a bit more pan sauce. And, for me, the Dijon mustard came on a bit too strong and overwhelmed the delicacy of the subtle pork flavor. We really enjoyed the ambience. Both outside and inside were a comfortable environment to enjoy a nice, un rushed meal. We will return.“
“This a small neighborhood diner nestled in the El Monte Airport (SGV Airport). The staff is very friendly and helpful, and the food is just downright amazing. It's like your momma or grandma cooked it. I had the daily special, Chili Releno Omelet with Chili Verde sauce, home fries, and short stack pancakes, which were just perfect! It was crispy on the outside but fluffy and chewy on the inside. Wow. Handsdown the best pancakes I've ever had! Seriously. The coffee was also so good. We sat on the patio in the 40-degree morning chill, watching the small planes take off the runway. You could also see the majestic SGV mountains in the distance with snowcapped tops and such clear blue skies! It was just perfect on this day. So try the food and enjoy the atmosphere as well.“
“We tried a bunch of plates out between all the family, some plates we tried out were the am chowder, calamari rings, fish and chips, pulled pork sliders, sweet potato fries, asada fries and more I cannot remember the names of, but I did take pictures for your convenience. I also have all beers from the tap in pictures and videos.Overall, we were satisfied with service and portions that are OK for the prices.The staff was super friendly and quick, so I'd recommend you guys try them out.“

“Very nice place. The outside looks like a ski lodge with fake snow on the roof. Inside is a dimly lit log cabin with wood shavings on the floor and a life sized stuffed bear in a display case by the waiting area. The red cabbage salad was good but overly salty as was the salad dressing. The cheese bread was very flavourful but oily. More butter than cheese. Dinner was a steak and lobstertail combo. The steak was a reasonable sized portion and well cooked. The lobstertail and side potato were enormous, perfectly cooked. There's a reason things are called lumberjack sized. Even the coffee mugs are oversized. Everything was delicious including the chocolate mousse dessert which was the perfect size. Just be aware there are no vegetarian or vegan options here. It's a meat and fish eaters eatery. Well worth it IMO. Would definitely go back.“
“A hidden gem in Pasadena with a great vibe. It's a diner but at same time feels very local with a at home ambiance. Food was very good, good prices and portions were great. Service was good as well and would recommend to checkout and will come back.“
“The pizza and fries are soo good! And service as well, we wandered in close to closing last night (had an event nearby) not knowing they closed at 8, but we still felt welcomed and the younger blonde guy at register did an excellent job. We had a Hawaiian type pizza with dried pineapple, which sounds weird but was SO good! And fries with their garlic sauce, I'd go back for those two items for sure. We also had a supreme pizza that was delicious as well. Also, tried their freshly made lime guava lemonade, we loved it. Wish we lived closer, would be there more often!“
“Went there for the first time today with the husband. The place was great had a good atmosphere. The employees where great handled the food properly, quick, friendly. The food was ok, nothing special about it. To me it lacks a bit of seasonings on their fries. We got a double cheeseburger, chili cheese fries with pastrami and pastrami sandwich. The pastrami sandwichs what what I felt was the best. And like I mentioned the service and their organization skills where great! Talk about teamwork. ?“
