    Rose Bowl Parking Pass
    Stevo O.

    I've to the other Lucky Boy in Pasadena and wanted to see which I Liked more. Well this location really feels like a winner and faster service than the larger store. I had the Gyro and was happy it was lamb, but I think they put Bleu Cheese on instead of yogurt sauce. Otherwise, it would be a four in my book...

    Breakfast burrito
    Jennifer D.

    If you're in the area and you like breakfast burritos this is the spot you need to go to. I'm not even kidding when I say one burrito can definitely feed two people. The burritos come with some of the most amazing salsa I've ever had too. I would recommend either having them cut it in half for you or eating it with a fork and knife because they stuff these burritos and it might start to fall apart while you're eating. The service is like fast food service, you order at the counter and they'll call you when the order is ready. There's some indoor seating and outdoor seating. They also have their own parking lot which a plus.

    Got the breakfast burrito and added a pancake to it (secret menu item) This thing was delicious. They give you so much food when you order you will definitely get two meals out of it. Classic breakfast diner vibes 63+ years of perfection wrapped in one epic breakfast burrito.

    Cheeseburger

    Came here about 10pm, and they only allowed to go orders because they close at 10:45pm. The wait for our food wasn't long, maybe 10 mins from the time we ordered. We ordered a basic cheeseburger, pastrami burger and a small chili cheese fries. The fries were slight soggy by the time we arrived at our hotel, about 10 mins away. The chili was good and the burgers are good and messy. It's definitely a good place to go for a neighborhood burger joint. Their burgers are filling especially the pastrami burger, tons of pastrami.

    So, the history is what brought me to Lucky Boy. The prices are why I won't be back. I was blown away that a pastrami cheeseburger, fries, and onion rings was an eye watering $24.09. Like...pardon me? This was a first visit and it will be my last. Kind of explains why the place was a ghost town inside. How disappointing.

    This is my go to spot for a good breakfast burrito or any burrito for that matter. They also have phenomenal burgers. I don't think I have ordered anything that I didn't like.

    Half empty box of unsalted fries.

    I just got back from Lucky Boy's on Walnut about 10 minutes ago, opened my bag, and what a disappointment. I ordered one thing, large fries. What I was given was a half -empty box of fries. I tasted the fries and they weren't even salted. I guess Pasadena's Lucky Boys doesn't try anymore.

    The special breakfast burrito with ham and bacon.
    Brian H.

    Lucky Boy is a Pasadena classic! The burritos are huge and super satisfying -- definitely get the special breakfast burrito, it's the best one . The service is always quick and friendly, and the staff are great. I haven't tried anything else yet, but the burgers always look amazing. Some people call these LA's best breakfast burritos -- I'm not sure if I'd go that far, but they're definitely very good. The walnut location has that classic diner vibe, with plenty of parking, which is a huge plus. A true Pasadena staple that's absolutely worth checking out!

    Dirty floor
    Ryen F.

    If you like cleaning your own tables before sitting down to eat and if you like dirty floors! I found the spot for you! Food looks so good it stays on the floor! Service is clean your own table and clean up after everyone else ! Hope the food is good. Wait and see!

    "Greek Wrap"- could not finish this. Should be pulled from the menu. The lettuce is brown
    Jaz M.

    As soon as I pulled into the driveway of this restaurant an employee, an older gentleman, signaled for me to go away. I am guessing because the parking lot was full? I should have taken this as a sign to leave- but I was so hungry and hot I decided to park on the street and still go inside. When I ordered at the cashier, I immediately looked at my receipt and noticed that he missed an item. I ordered a drink, a shake, zucchini but he did not ring up the Greek wrap. I stepped to the cashier next to him, a woman, and let her know he forgot the greek wrap, showed her my receipt, and so she rang me up for a separate transaction to add it. I then waited and received my two drinks and the greek wrap. However the zucchini never came. I waited and waited for the zucchini fries. I was on a time crunch and hungry... I thought to myself "I bet they forgot I even ordered zucchini fries because a big party in front of me ordered so many they probably got mixed up". Sure enough they did. The lady working the register kept looking at me weird, then finally asked "are you waiting for something?". "Yes" I replied, showing her my receipt and said "my zucchini". She told the chef to make an order and quickly he did. My whole experience ordering and waiting was annoying. The employees are not good at their job. I went home to eat... the greek wrap was disappointing. It did not look appetizing, the lettuce inside was wilted brown ice berg lettuce chopped thin. The chicken was overly seasoned, no greek flavor at all, with olives feta cheese and wrapped in a tortilla. A wrap should not be a burrito. It was not a well put together dish, the ingredients do not compliment each other nor taste greek at all. You can tell the chicken and lettuce were old. I was very very upset. I honestly want my money back. I will not be coming back.

    I'm almost speechless, but I guess I do have to write something don't I?…read more This legendary casual eatery is everything you want it to be: fresh ingredients, friendly service, delicious food and generous quantities. I don't know where they got the name for their fantastic Sycamore Sandwich, but it's a pastrami reuben with cole slaw instead of sauerkraut, and it very well could be the best I've had outside of New York. Thin, mostly lean pastrami stacked with Swiss cheese, coleslaw, and homemade Thousand Island dressing served hot on grilled rye bread. A heavenly handheld! The thin, crispy onion rings were cooked perfectly, to where the coating was almost falling off, and just oily enough to give moisture and flavor, but not greasy. The fresh, thin, hand cut fries were great by themselves but then add the beef chili and melted cheese, it could be a great meal by itself. Don't forget the Patty Melt, too. Old fashioned, comfort food that you order at the counter or drive through that's worth a side trip if you're anywhere close (or even not close) to Pasadena.

My biggest complaint is the cleanliness, since there were quite a few flies flying around, with some even landing on the booths that I sat in. The booths also looked fairly dirty, which isn't really appetizing if you're planning to eat inside. Service - 10/10 The staff were friendly, and the service was quick. No complaints. Food - 7/10 Tops Special Burger - 6.5/10 Honestly, the burger was just okay. The presentation was nice, but everything else was pretty average. The pastrami had good flavor, although some pieces were oddly chewy. The beef patty also tasted like it had been frozen, which kind of just took away from the burger. Chili Cheese Tots - 7.5/10 The tater tots themselves were great, they were perfectly crisp and cooked well, but, the chili cheese was a bit underwhelming, since I could barely taste the chili. Overall - 7.6/10 (for dining in) the food is decent and id say that its an okay spot if you're looking for a quick bite, and they give fairly large portions. Other then that, I'd recommend using the drive-thru instead of dining in. It's way faster, and you won't have to deal with the cleanliness and long waits inside.

I have such fond childhood memories of going there with my parents and grandparents and receiving what seemed like foot-tall soft-serve cones. They also make the best malts, terrific burgers, and excellent deli sandwiches. The pastrami on rye and grilled cheese are dependable favorites--or you can splurge on a classic banana split. Add fries, with or without chili, and you have the perfect old-school meal. When I was growing up, they called what most people know as a chocolate-and-vanilla twist a "ripple." That is still what I order--and what I call it--wherever I am in the world, even when people look at me funny. Whenever I am in Pasadena visiting family and friends, a stop at Connal's for a ripple, shake, burger, and fries is practically mandatory. Some places serve food; others hold generations of memories. Connal's does both.
