Its small, busy, and quaint (no frills) - but hearty breakfast that feels like home.

Cute little brunch spot in Pasadena with an older homey feel to it. I've come here for lunch twice…read morenow and both times the service was quick and the food came out pretty fast. Prices also seem pretty reasonable. My first time here I ordered the Corned Beef Hash with house potatoes and chili. It also came with two eggs and their famous banana bread. The corned beef hash was decent and very filling, but it was a little salty for me and I would've liked more crispy bits. The famous banana bread was decent too, but a little dry. My second time here I got the Machaca Egg Scramble, which came with tortillas. It was good, but I felt like it could've used a little more flavor or some salsa to go with it. Overall, I feel like the food here is decent but nothing really stood out to me. It's a solid spot to grab brunch with reasonable prices and quick service. I'd come back if someone suggested it, but probably not somewhere I'd personally seek out.

ATTENTION WHIPPED CREAM CONNOISSEURS:…read more Forget the burgers (which were alright), the dessert is what you're here for. Hot chocolate, for example, is such a simple dish, but Pie 'n Burger has won me over because of one thing: they make their own whipped cream. Have you ever made your own whipped cream? It's not as quick as the canned stuff but it's thick and creamy and rich. Oh man just dump a truckload of it onto me and let me bathe in its glory. When I'm older, I don't want to go to a nursing home, I'm dying by dumping a truckload of homemade whipped cream on myself and going out happily. The pies are good too, but it must be known that this place does indeed provide the highest caliber of whipped cream available to the people of Pasadena. I imagine going here to taste the whipped cream they put on the hot cocoa is the same exact feeling muslims get from making the pilgrimage to Mecca, or Jews to Jerusalem. I love whipped cream.

On a Saturday morning at 930 there was practically no one in there. They still have Covid plastic partitions everywhere.

My visit was mid-week and early lunch time...everything I saw come out of the kitchen window looked very good and tasty. I wouldn't think about coming here on a weekend morning as the parking is terrible and I guarantee you...you'll probably have a 45 min wait. I came for the shrimp and grits...hoping it would have been more filling. The number of shrimp was right on...but the grits quantity was not that great. It didn't match well...not hearty. Other restaurants that serve shrimp and grits offer more in the grits amount. The mushrooms and onions topping was so good. For the price...more grits, that's all. Since I wasn't satisfied...amount wise and still a bit hungry, I ordered a cup of their creole tomato soup...that was OK...tasted a bit burnt...I wouldn't order this again...nothing to boast about. However, the menu looks to have so many great things to order and yes, I recommend this restaurant for all three meals. My ice tea was average...free refills...this was great.

This is not diner food. It's some of the best food we have ever had. The flavors are amazing and…read morethe combination of ingredients is genius. Today we had the clhicken fried mushrooms and corn waffle that comes with creamed kale and tomato syrup. Just mind blowing good!! I used to get the shrimp and grits till I discovered this flavor bomb. My partner had the short rib pot roast with glazed carrots and buttered dumplings. Insane flavors ! I also had to try the veggie burger of the day. Chicken fried portobello with sweet corn relish roasted red pepper spread and goat cheese. Wow ! Had to get grits and collard greens too. The grits are so creamy they are divine. We got the strawberry chess pie for dessert but had to take it home after a few bites. My only problem with this restaurant is the extremely cold air conditioning on not hot days and evenings but since it's hot out it wasn't too cold in here. I highly recommend having a sweater with you during cooler months. All in all the food here is stellar. Never had a dinner we didnt love.

Great & friendly service and she kept coming back to get us more water & coffee or ask if we needed anything. Plus the staff was on top of taking used things away. Prices are great, but got a senior discount too! Coffee was good. I got a glass of milk and it truly was icy cold and good! My wife ordered a grapefruit mimosa and it's nice they give you a glass of juice with a split of champagne to mix. My wife and I got the eggs Benedict and cheese blintzes and split both. Both SO good! Hard to find places that serve blintzes, but you'll never find them this big and over the top good! Served with sour cream and a cup of strawberry sauce with chunks of strawberries in it!

First off too many non kitchen people touch your food with their bare hands...and not necessarily just my food, but everyone's food, there should be one designated person to run food, not people coming from the dining room and just touching food with their bare hands Had the steak and eggs for dinner, it was ok, eggs not cooked as I asked, but the surprise was a long hair in my food, that I didn't really make a big deal about, because I don't think this place will change their methods...I let the waiter know... The counter isn't a good option, because you can see and hear everything, and that kitchen talks a lot of inappropriate things. Especially the lady. And at one point she was leaning on the counter picking her ears, I did mention it to my waiter. Because I was hoping she wasn't going to be the one cooking my food. The service was great, nice young man that's very pleasant. But I think the worse was the sourdough bread, very very low quality white bread basically...$30 (with tip) should be decent. I won't be back for a long time...

My family used to…read morelove stopping by Coco's for their pies, so this location brings back a lot of great memories. I can't remember exactly when it became a Denny's, but we've been coming here ever since and have always enjoyed our visits. The service has always been friendly, and the food is consistently good. I'm a creature of habit, so I order the same meal every time: the French Toast Slam with well-done hash browns instead of eggs, no sausage, and extra bacon. It's my ultimate comfort breakfast and always hits the spot. What I enjoy most is being able to come here with my family, share a meal, and catch up. It's a reliable neighborhood diner with good food, welcoming service, and a nostalgic feel that keeps us coming back.

We came here after a dental appointment because my friend wanted pancakes for her birthday, so we…read morewent with Denny's since it was her choice and convenient. We both ordered T-bone steaks--mine medium rare, hers medium. Unfortunately, both orders came out incorrect. My steak was well done instead of medium rare. My friend's was also overcooked, so hers was sent back. She ended up switching to a sirloin, which was tough. My steak was remade, but it still came out overcooked again. The cut was also very thin, more like something suited for a sandwich than a proper steak. After that, the server kindly offered me the sirloin as well, but it was undercooked in the center, on the raw side and not properly prepared either. At that point, I didn't want to continue sending food back or making it more complicated, so I declined further replacements. The server did offer alternatives and remained very polite and accommodating throughout, which I genuinely appreciated. I also made sure to acknowledge the service to the manager because the staff was doing their best. However, the kitchen execution on multiple steak orders was inconsistent during this visit. This location has some history for me--it used to be Coco's back in the days, right across from the convalescent hospital where my mom passed away. My friends and I used to come here often and always looked forward to the pies.

They also serve great Thai food, sometimes I'll get the Tom Yum Soup for a meal. The broth is amazing and it's a generous portion. But back to breakfast, my current favorite is two poached eggs on toast with a side of avocado, I order this because it's the perfect conduit companion for consuming the bowl of salsa! Let me give my reverence for this condiment. This is my favorite bowl of salsa, it's green, chunky and spicy! There are daily specials that are rotated. I like the omelettes as scrambles, the chef cooks them soft so no overcooked brown eggs. Conversely, I like the hash browns extra crispy with a solid crunch! A little ketchup on them kills the burn from the aforementioned bowl of salsa. Metered parking lot in the back.

I walked into this retro diner (that felt more like a time warp), feeling all nostalgic from the tables to the chairs to the flooring.

I really enjoyed the roasted grape tomatoes as they were bursting with flavor--everything was delightful. We only part to meet again. Next time I have my eyes on the falafel plate, tikka masala, and the curry fries. The cool thing is you do not have to be vegan to enjoy a meal here as they have something for everyone including burgers and fries. Mediterranean, Indian, and American fare are all offered here.
