Ernie's had amazing food! I have lived in the area for almost 40 years and have never gone there due to the fact they close so early in the day. I can't get there during their hours. However, my friend hosted a private event there, and finally, I was able to eat there. The food was so good!! I seriously am not over exaggerating. You must eat here. Staff was super good too. 5 star restaurant for sure!!!

First time in this place, the food is good, the breading does lack a bit of flavor but the chicken with mango sauce was delicious, the waitress's attention was good, only that when we wanted to pay they were distracted with the phone. We had cases, but the visit was good, we will probably returnParking: This place has too much parkingWheelchair accessibility: Very wheelchair accessible

This review is based on numerous experiences with Ernie's through its catering business, which is fabulous. Whether it's old school burgers, chicken fried steaks or haute chicken dishes, this place delivers a wonderfully delicious plate. I've eaten a number of their signature menu items, including Malibu Chicken, Palm Springs Chicken, Chicken Fried Steak, burgers and even some humongous hot dogs, and all were pulled off very nicely. Their (catered) side salads are also cool and crunchy, and the desserts have always been the perfect sweet ending. Perhaps the best thing about Ernie's (catering) is that it's turnkey. Not only does Ernie know how to cook, he knows how to hire. His teams have always presented themselves and their product in a most professional way. They cook, plate, serve and then make everything disappear upon completion of the meal. All the while, they are polite and make everyone feel like a million bucks. I've had my share of rubber chicken at catered events, but Ernie's changed that game. And when the catering arm of the business is that good, I can only imagine that the restaurant itself is outstanding.

The food at Ernie’s is really great. Lots of people agree because it’s always busy, a hidden gem in Pasadena.
