    Just the standard burger with fries
    Wilfred T.

    The food was just okay, even though I asked for a medium-rare burger. It seems like they overcooked it. The beef patty is pretty big and the ingredients were fresh. It seems like they make the ketchup in-house. The fries were okay; maybe they needed to be seasoned. I don't know if they salted the fries or if you need to salt them yourself. It was interesting to try this place, but I don't know if I'm going to come back.

    Buffalo Chicken Sandwich
    Haleh M.

    Came by today for a quick bite. Got my favorite buffalo chicken sando lettuce wrapped. It was made perfectly. I was there around 12:30/1 and surprisingly there were plenty of seats inside. We got a table right away. Service was quick and everything was delicious. I tried the cucumber Fresca and it was so refreshing.

    Southwest Chicken Wrap
    Keilab A.

    I am obsessed with this place. Everything I've ordered on the menu has been a banger. I've tried their chimichurri salad, southwest salad, chinese chicken salad, chili, chicken bites, burgers, but my absolute favorite thing I've tried is their Southwest Chicken Wrap. The flavors and textures of everything in the wrap is so addicting and yummy. They do get busy during lunchtime, but they do validate for parking underground which is a plus. If you dine-in, you order at the counter and can sit anywhere, they also bus your table afterwards. This is one of those spots where you go when you don't know what other people in the group likes, it literally has everything and you can't go wrong with anything on the menu.

    Found this place on my way to the Dodgers game. I wanted to try a new burger place, So I did my Googles, and this place came up highly rated. When I walked in, the places was empty, but there were plenty of employees, and they were all nice and helpful. I got the Ultimate Egg, which is a Bacon cheeseburger with an over easy egg, pickled onions. The burger was really damn good and messy, just what a burger should be. I do think the onions should've been pickled longer. They weren't as pickled as they should be, so they had more of a bite than they should. The only other thing that wasnt great was the cost. After Tip my total was around $54. That's alot of a burger, a sandwich, 1 order of fries, and 2 fountain drinks. But if you like a good burger, you won't be disappointed

    Custom burger

    I've been wanting to eat at The Stand for the longest time. LA is oversaturated with smash burger places, and I was dying to go to a burger place with a nice juicy burger patty that wasn't smashed to the point of dryness. Finally, my wife was craving American food one day, so we made time to come to The Stand to give it a try. Granted, it is a chain, but it's quite good. It has the vibe of a sports bar, but ordering is done at the counter. The staff answered all our questions and helped us quite quickly. They advised us to get the app to help accumulate points, which I did. My wife and I shared and side of fries, but we each got our own burgers. I got a build-your-own burger with beef cooked to medium, a fried egg, lettuce, tomato, grilled onions, and sweet chili aioli. The burgers took a good 15 minutes to make but they were worth the wait. The burger was super juicy, which was a texture I had missed from eating so many smash burgers. The burger also had a bit of smokiness to it. The sweet chili aioli was basically a spicy mayo but went perfectly with burger and egg. Amazing restaurant, I would definitely come back.

    Chinese Chicken Chop Salad and soda
    Jagruti L.

    Great spot for lunch and dinner... There is always something for everyone including Vegetarian and Vegan. The service was quick and friendly. Ambiance is nice and clean. Ordered Cola Drink Chinese Chicken Chop Salad It comes with sliced grilled chicken breast, crispy wontons, crispy noodles, mandarins, sesame seeds, house made chop salad mix (romaine, iceberg, red cabbage, scallions, carrots) and red ginger dressing. it is simple and delicious.

    ABC burger
    Francisco M.

    There's street parking or paid lots around here. This location has a good amount of seating for both indoor and outdoor. It's a very chill and relaxing vibe that's great for casual hangout. The staff are nice and really helpful. They have a good selection of menu items and some fun shake flavors. They do ask how you want your burger cooked. You'll get a number and they'll drop off the food at your table. The food arrived pretty quick especially when there were a good number of people ahead of me. The ABC burger was good and juicy. I gotbit medium rare. The bacon was nice and crispy. I ate the whole thing easily. I also gotbthe cookie butter shake. It was good. Not too sweet and good texture from the crunch. I would recommend trying this place out!

    Thought I do an updated review since it's been a while. Thanks! Most recently, I tried their Veggie Bliss stacked with a veggie patty, pepper jack cheese, fresh guacamole, pickled red onion, crispy onion strings, sweet chili aioli, on wheat bun. WOW, I was very intrigued by its flavor for a veggie sandwich. Subtle with a huge punch! Another recent try is their Seared Ahi Tuna Sandwich 2.0. It is piled with seared ahi tuna (served chilled), spicy thai vinaigrette, crispy onion strings, jalapeño scallion aioli, stand slaw, sesame seeds, scallion, on a gourmet brioche bun. Double WOW, slices of ahi tuna one after another! I stopped counting. I ended up moving the ahi tuna from the bun to the green house salad LOL. Best of both worlds! Every ingredient played a major role in its yumminess. Besides the ahi tuna, spicy thai vinaigrette and crispy onion strings stand out in what makes this an amazing sandwich. At the end of the day, this sandwich is a MUST TRY in my book! I like it better in the sandwich than in the salad IMHO. It was that good!! Staff was super nice and helpful. Service was good. If you park at the Playhouse Plaza structure, The Stand will validate 75 minutes. Just remember your car licence plate so you can enter it in their parking validation kiosk. Thanks The Stand!

    Chimichurri Steak Salad
    Nick D.

    The Stand is always Amazing, the staff is super pleasant, food is always fresh. Price is very affordable. I really enjoyed the; Chimichurri Steak Salad marinated grilled steak, kale & spring mix, green apple, mint, sliced cucumber, corn salsa, cherry tomatoes, crispy quinoa (460 cal), chimichurri (+190 cal), with charred corn vinaigrette (+150 cal) Can't go wrong with the Stand and the Stand APP is super easy to use.

    Salmon bowl (includes grains beneath the veggies)
    Melissa H.

    With so many independent restaurants in Pasadena, we don't typically go to chains, but this one really delivers! The food is fresh and flavorful, with a great mix of healthy options (I like the miso salmon bowl) with splurges like burgers and milkshakes. Everything is made well, and the portions are filling and a great value for the price. Service has been friendly, helpful and efficient. The ambience is nice, too. There are TVs inside for those who want a family-friendly sports lounge atmosphere, but we typically sit outside with our husky. It is great for people watching as it's just across the street from the Pasadena Playhouse, and a good location for an evening stroll over to Vroman's bookstore afterwards. The only drawback is that it can be very sunny on hot summer evenings, even with the umbrellas, because of the angle of the sun setting behind the Playhouse. Overall, it is a consistent and satisfying place that never lets us down.

    Steak salad & sweet potato waffle fries, A-Mazing!
    Rameen K.

    The food and the drink selection was truly excellent. The meal was quite pricey. Not going here on a regular basis for sure, just can't afford that. But that day of lunch was spectacular. I'll be back in few months for another dose.

    Maggie C.

    The service is always friendly and every single interaction I have with staff has always been positive. Ordered the steak chimichurri salad and it wasn't my favorite - the chimichurri didn't taste right like it needed more oil or something was off. Other dishes like the French onion soup burger and veggie bliss were good! Was able to get a pup patty and Abby who was taking my order, asked if I needed any water for my dog. I appreciated her asking and it's these small gestures that make me come back.

It looks like it is a hole in the hall kind of place, but it is massively popular with a lot of foot traffic. It must have been spread by word of mouth and for good reason. Service: they are very very quick with making the food. You order outside and pick up inside. Ambiance: there is plenty of space for parking as well as the restaurant itself. Lots of seating inside and some outside as well. They have a bar for you to get sides, utensils, and Togo stuff. Food: they are famous for their breakfast burritos, I ended up getting a burrito two ways with bacon and sausage. It was HUGE! It was bigger than my forearm and the food was so so good. The sausage was whole and juicy, the bacon was crispy and not burnt, the eggs were moist and flavorful, and the tortilla was warmed on the grill. The portions are MASSIVE the burrito can definitely be shared between two people. It ended up being $14 but with it shared between two people that comes out to be $7 per person so very affordable. Overall, this place is very good if you're in the mood for a breakfast burrito. The quality is fantastic and the price is amazing.

This is a burger joint with a diverse menu, including one of the biggest breakfast burritos in town. I got my burrito with bacon. The burrito comes with hashbrown style potatoes, eggs and cheese - you get a choice of ham, bacon or sausage for your meat (or have it without meat). The bacon was crispy and remained crispy when I reheated my other half. Not only is the bacon crispy, the burrito has a generous amount of it! Oh and the other plus - the tortilla does not come wet and soggy and remains in perfect condition if you have leftovers. The burrito comes with only one salsa and to be honest, you really do need two for such a big burrito. I'm a green salsa girl but I asked what I should go with and I was recommended the red one (the green one is supposedly spicier). The red salsa did not disappoint other than I needed one more for my whole burrito (there's no kick to this salsa but it's tasty). The burrito itself isn't bursting with flavor on its own and it requires the salsa to compliment the other ingredients. But, who eats a breakfast burrito without salsa? There is ample parking in their parking lot and there's seating both inside and outside. I will definitely be returning to satisfy my breakfast burrito craving very soon and if this is what you're looking for - stop reading reviews and go get you one at Lucky Boy (it's served all day).

The burger was genuinely very good--not life-changing gourmet food, but exactly what a classic American burger should taste like. The best way I can describe it is like an elevated old-school burger.

    I thought I already reviewed the best burger in Pasadena!…read more On my first visit, a standard burger was $3.95. I forget what it is now-- $6??? As good as this burger is, it's still a deal. Super Burger is owned by a super-nice Korean family. There are various Korean dishes in their menu available but I only go there for the burgers. What makes their simple burgers so great? First off the burger patty-- the patties are formed in-house. The cooked patties have that irregular edge that can only come from being hand-formed; imperfect and delicious. These aren't the frozen discs delivered by a freezer truck. The ratio of the ingredients are ideal. -- The tomato is sliced to the perfect thickness -- The freshly-shredded lettuce doesn't manspread and take up too much of the burger's real estate -- The thousand island dressing marries the freshness of the veggie section to the animal part perfectly -- The burger patty's girth is appropriately balanced for the other ingredients. -- Their buns have that old-school yeast(?) flavor not available in stores. Their burgers are lovingly prepared and assembled with care. This is why whenever I go, there are always people there. Seating is strictly patio style, looking out onto the intersection of Altadena and Villa. There lot is small lot next to the stand. I'm not sure if it's shared with another business. Street parking is available. Even though super burger is basically a corner burger stand with patio seating, the place is always clean. Super Burger is definitely a sure thing. It is the finest example of what a basic, standard burger can be. Bun, burger patty, lettuce, tomato, and dressing doesn't get better than this.

In my 20's I lived right up the street and hit them up quite often. I don't get there as much as I'd like nowadays but when I do, it is always consistently great. Times have definitely changed but Connal's quality food and super customer service has not! I am a huge Combination Grinder fan and have not ordered anything different for well over 30 years. They are always stacked with lots of high quality cold cuts and delicious Provolone, crisp shredded Lettuce,thin sliced Onions and Vinegar and Oil on a delicious French Roll. In my teens and 20's I did try many samplings on their vast menu and as memory serves, everything was always delicious. Today's Grinder absolutely hit the spot! It had been a while since I last tasted one but the Combo Grinder most definitely never disappoints. I went for it, and got Zings (Zucchini Sticks and Onion Rings). Super hot, crisp and very tasty, especially with some Bleu Cheese Dressing. Jesse took my order and he was very personable and showed me some excellent customer service. If you are looking for some great grub, you cannot lose with Sandwiches By Connal. It is not the original owners but they have kept the same quality and standards over the years.

    I know I'm dating myself by saying the last time I ate here was over 20 years ago--but I'm willing…read moreto take that hit to fully convey this: this place has not changed. Once upon a time, we lived dangerously close to this establishment, and I've honestly thought about it more often than I'd like to admit ever since. So when I found myself in Pasadena a few weeks ago, you better believe I was coming back. I ordered my usual: an unbelievable burger, fries, and a Coke--of course. But the crown jewel of the meal, as it has always been, is the fried zucchini. I have never found better fried zucchini, and trust me, I've been trying for years. Service at the window was just as friendly as I remembered, and we grabbed a spot tucked under the patio instead of staying inside--perfect for people-watching as folks came and went. There's something really special about being welcomed back by a place that tastes exactly like you remember. Connal's still delivers.
