“We came from out of town to visit and WOW…. Meal was delicious! Wings were spot on and the service was excellent! Highly recommend the crab soup and Philly cheesesteak also!!!“

“Great food and drinks. Staff is friendly and accommodating.“

“My husband and I had not been here in a while. Went in at 10:30 am on 2/08/25, and I was craving lunch food. They had no issues prepping our lunch and the young man who waited on us was very nice, polite and answered my questions. Food was good and dining room was very clean.“

“Great experience- great food and atmosphere“

“Pats is our go-to never lets us down dinner option. We've been eating there for 6 years now since we moved to the area and I've not ever ordered something I didn't like. Not to mention that they give huge portions which I think is commendable seeing as so many of the restaurants right now are making you pay more for less due to shrinkflation.

Like I said we love everything but their pasta is amazing my husbands favorite is the chicken parmesan and mine is a tie between the spaghetti and meatballs or the chicken burrito bowl. Oh and if you like delicious things go ahead and tack on one of those desserts lol.“

“Today is the first time I called and ordered from Cookies Kitchen…I ordered HamburgerSteak platter with mashed potatoes n corn…omg it’s a bomb. I’m gonna rate Cookies Kitchen number 1 over all other food places in around Pasadena area. I’m looking forward coming back. Thank You.“

“I go to Johnny's a lot most of the food is exceptionally well all I can say is never get the fried Chicken it's horrible they say it's fresh but it tastes like it's out of a box like maybe like banquet chicken other than that all the food I've eaten there has been exceptional the service sometimes is off but on most occasions you get a great server but there are times when you got a really bad server and I've experienced that a couple times since I've been going there but other than that they are totally a great place to eat and very affordable“

“I go there a few times a month. The service the amount of food and the quality of food is always top-notch. They have a great selection of food. The chili cheese fries are amazing. Also beef tips are very good. Also The steak is 2 times better thr Outback. The sides are huge portions. Try this place you won’t be disappointed.“

The prices imo weren't bad. The food was delicious and all the staff were pleasant to deal with. The atmosphere was great 👍. Will be back for sure.“

“Went on a Monday Night. They were setting up for Trivia night and it was packed which you don’t see normally anywhere on a Monday night. They were also going to be showing the Baltimore Ravens game so
Lots of folks on Ravens jerseys, hats etc. Seemed like a fun place and everyone there new each other so a locals Pub. Food was very good and good quality as well and prices very reasonable. If you are in the area and needing a casual environment then this place is perfect.“
