Food is great with a very inventive chef and crew. Always coming up with delicious, different entrees and apps. The bar is well stocked with almost anything you want. Including "Pickle shots". The bartenders are friendly and funny. The wait staff keeps your food coming and are attentive. The rest of the staff keeps your table clean and can get you incidentals. Best part? They support many fantastic, local bands with varying musical interests. Rumor Reel is a patron of the local music scene which gives you great music and a great time...oh, and they're on the water complete with Tiki bar and outside music pavilion. Get there!

2 stars for the food. Locals love this place, very lively and good music. You'll have a good time but eat before you go and it will be better. Basically basket food, bland out of a can. What a shame, a little more talent in the kitchen and some creativity and you could set pasadena on Fite . Stop talking the low road and serve up some world class food

Good location. Good service. Food is so so. I got seared ahi tuna, which was very tasty. But, only 4 small pieces of tuna.

We went there since their website said, "Pet friendly." They seemed distraught when we walked through the front door with our Golder Retriever, who is very well behaved. They said that we had to go outside and dogs weren't allowed inside. We put our names on the wait list, and they said 20 to 25 minutes for outside seating. 20 minutes later, they sent me a text saying the wait was now 1 hour. Seemed they just didn't want our business due to our dog. It's not a pet friendly business.

After church, we decided to visit Rumor Reel for the Sunday brunch. It was crowded, but we were seated right away. The chicken fingers were the best, not overcooked with a homemade coating.

Server had drinks all mixed up, refills were a challenge, and the food was below average standard. Raw cornmeal inside my fathers fried food, pot roast was dry and gray with what tasted like jar gravy and raw broccoli , burger was not made in-house, shrimp salad had STRONG onions in it. (Shrimp salad shouldn’t have onions). Hot pepper jam on chicken sandwiche wasn’t fully mixed it had chunks of gelatin. Fish was Very fishy smelling (fish shouldn’t smell fishy)! We didn’t complain or send anything back, would not recommend or go back.
