Returned for dinner with my loved one (my mini boss), as promised. It was Towhey's 83rd birthday. Happy birthday! The atmosphere was family-friendly with a relaxed, chill ambiance. The checked-in staff were friendly and welcoming. As I walked in to be seated, I scanned the room looking for the beautiful Prita and was bummed when I didn't see her. Our waitress was kind and attentive. Then, as I scanned the room again, I was so happy to see Prita working that night. I wanted to go over and say hi, but since she was busy taking care of guests, I had to admire her from afar. To my complete surprise, Prita took over for our waitress during the second half of our meal, and I even got a hug from her. Yay! Dinner time! Let me try to remember what we ordered, since it has been almost a week. Appetizers Tomato Soup - $6.00 (x2) Steak Arugula Salad - $23.95 Drinks Hot Tea (mine) - $3.95 All Along the Watertower (mine) - $16.00 Lemonade - $6.95 Lemonade (to go) - $6.95 That girl robs me dry! :P The lemonade is homemade and blended, so I don't blame her. I mean I got 2 drinks. It's only fair. :) Entrées Truffle Mushroom Pasta - $19.95 Shrimp Pesto - $24.95 We shared both entrées. My daughter took a bite of the Shrimp Pesto and spent a long time savoring it. I asked, "What's wrong?" She said, "Do they make their own pesto?" I was impressed! I asked, "How do you know?" She replied, "I can taste the freshness and the texture." Wow! She's a true foodie. She's a much pickier eater than I am, so when I dine out with her... only quality restaurants! Dessert 83rd Birthday Sundae - $0.83 We had a great time! Yummy in our tummies! read more

I returned to Twohey's in South Pasadena with family. We got the following: 1. Pecan pie - not too sweet, perfect 2. Waffles with bananas - really good too - they serve breakfast all day! 3. Prime Rib Dip sandwich with garlic fries - yummy 4. Lindsey Salad - perfect bite with crunch, flavorful grilled chicken, and mandarin oranges and the cornbread it came with was moist. One of the best corn breads I have ever had. 5. Cherry frozen lemonade - delish! Our server Piper was very nice. The inside was spacious and there was a short 15 minutes wait when we arrived Sunday night at 7pm. We were seated at a booth. I liked that the bathroom was clean and smelled nicely. I returned after attending the Yelp Elite dinner event, and was not disappointed! read more

Great location and happy hour menu. I ordered the sand dabs and was very disappointed with the bitterness of the lemon sauce. The French Fries were also very salty, sadly I had to send it back and ordered the fish and chips. The fish was very crispy and tender. Unfortunately the chips/ French Fries were another heavily salted entree. My sister order a chicken salad and her chicken breast was also heavily salty. I prefer to be able to add salt when needed and not have someone choose my salt tolerance. The service was fantastic and speed of cooking was also very good. My waiter was amazing and great service goes a long way towards an overall satisfaction level. We all had desserts and they were very good I usually don't spoil my self. I will try them out again and make sure I stay away from anything that might be salty. read more

We love the ambiance and the service. Extensive menu and kid friendly too! My kids polish their plate every time. Sunday dinner time - a balloon artists make his round (tip recommended). Came here for a birthday celebration recently and it was super memorable with their complimentary giant firework-like candle (on sundaes). Def will return for more future celebrations! read more

Service was so nice, food was tasty and had a great american diner vibe! Got the stink-o burger and the patty was perfectly cooked, the garlic fries were absolutely delicious. Also got lucky because it was their 80th anniversary and they were selling ice cream sundaes for 83 cents! read more

Everything was perfect from beginning until the end. Recommended this place to my two best friends and also celebrated their birthdays showered with their specialty ice cream sundae lighted with candles. We literally sat there for over 4 hours chatting and catching up lol Food was delicious and cook to perfection, just the way I was expected. I ordered 4 dishes for 3 people because there's so many choices from the Menu that I wanted to try all. I will definitely come back again soon to try the other food! The ambiance was filled with cheerful energy and excitement, creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere from the moment we walked in. It felt lively without being overwhelming, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a great meal. As an added bonus, the owner, Tanya, stopped by our table to personally greet us, which made the experience feel even more genuine and memorable. read more

I was very excited to get the chicken pot pie... I love chicken pot pie... But this was not your traditional CPP. It was like a soup with the top of the pie crust on top. It lacked flavor. Once i added salt and pepper it was better but I was so disappointed that I only found 1 piece of chicken in this CHICKEN POT PIE!! The service was great. Staff was friendly. read more

Date: June 27 Purchases: Patty Melt wirh Garlic Fries Hot Tea - English Breakfast Experience: This was the second time that my husband and I have been here with our first time trying out their breakfast menu and this time we got to the their lunch menu. I ordered a hot tea since I was feeling under the weather. The tea did not come with its own little teapot and had to be refilled by our server by taking my cup and bringing it back to me. I ordered the Patty Melt cause it's my go to for diner places when I can't decide and chose Garlic Fries because I'm a sucker for garlic anything. My husband caved in and got their 1776 Burger special that was made in celebration for America celebrating 250 years of freedom. The food came quicker than expected and we dug right in. The Garlic Fries were a bit oily and definitely garlicky, but good. The Patty Melt was great and I love how then use the marbled rye bread. I looked over at my husband who was wanting me to give his burger a try, but it looked too messy and saucy for my liking and let him enjoy his meal. Overall, definitely prefer lunch over breakfast that we had before and would want to try more of their menu the next time we visit. read more

Old school since 1943. I remember Carmine's, Craft Hill, Sow House restaurants occupied this location before the new Twohey's taking over. On this visit we had already eaten at another restaurant but wanted their lemon cake for desert. Even on a Wednesday evening the restaurant can be busy as we had to wait for a table. read more

Absolutely love Twoheys. I've been multiple times and they never disappoint. It was a quick wait for a party of 2 on a Sunday. Great service, great food. Not pictured but they make their Arnold Palmer with their blended lemonade and it adds such a yummy, unique taste to the drink. Can't wait to visit again. read more

Good food & good portions! There were 5 of us and the service was good! Everyone ordered something different and then we ordered a bowl of chili to share. That was tasty. The steak salad comes like steak and a side salad; not the steak on top of the greens. The greens are arugula and it was good but small. I would definitely not recommend the Greek salad. Lots of romaine but The tomatoes and onions are very scarce; could hardly taste them. Their tuna melt was the better option. There is indoor and outdoor seating and the ambiance is good especially for brunch read more

​Twohey's Restaurant has the most delicious food in town. It doesn't matter if you are here for breakfast or lunch, you can never go wrong with anything on the menu. On this visit, my wife ordered a patty melt with a side of garlic fries and a hot tea. I ordered the waiter's recommendation: a limited-time, mouth-watering "1776 Burger" made with BBQ sauce, coleslaw, a beef patty, pulled pork, and cheese, with a side of fries and a blended lemonade. ​Overall, everything was exceptional, except for the burger's bottom bun, which got really soggy after a few minutes and made it difficult to hold. The staff is really friendly and helpful, and the ambience is moderate. read more

Hard to say. Big fan if Twohey's. I come once a week. This time I came in twice and brought friends, which I've done before. The waitress was so incredibly rude, that I'm putting a pause on going there again She made us feel unwelcome and it was awkward. The rest of the staff is usually very friendly, but this young woman happened to wait on me Monday, with the same negative attitude. I think I'm going to give up on one of my favorite places. My friends love it, but I'll have to break it to them, it's unlikely we'll be back. read more

I had a great experience at Twoheys Restaurant and would absolutely give it 5 stars. Our group loved the vibe right when we walked in. It felt lively, welcoming, and like the kind of place you want to hang out and enjoy good food with friends. Our table ordered a little bit of everything. We had the fried chicken, burgers, calamari, spaghetti with meatballs, and a salad. Every single dish hit the spot. You could tell everything was fresh and made with care. The fried chicken was crispy and flavorful, the burgers were juicy, and the spaghetti with meatballs tasted classic and comforting. The service was efficient and friendly, which made the experience even better. We came during happy hour and were able to grab drinks and an appetizer at really good prices. We are from Northern California and honestly wish we had a place like this back home. This is definitely a spot to remember and return to the next time we are in the LA area. Highly recommend. read more

I was very impressed with the new Twoheys. They were in Alhambra for many years and moved to this location in 2020 when the former Carmine's Italian restaurant closed. They created a new and amazing look that is very bright and welcoming. The service was great! My server, Aaron, was very pleasant and accommodating. I had the Turkey California Club sandwich with French fries and the sandwich was very tasty. The waiter told me if I didn't want the third bread I could request the sandwich without it. Tip for anyone who orders this sandwich and doesn't want the extra bread. The fruit was fresh and somewhat sweet. They are closed on Tuesdays so keep that in mind if you choose to go. read more

I'm no stranger to Twohey's; I'm a little surprised I haven't reviewed them before. I used to go to the old location where In-N-Out is now, I vaguely recall that location was either a renovation or relocation. I've visited the newest location in South Pasadena the most; it's in a building that has gone through several iterations. When they moved to SoPas, Twohey's gained a full bar and bar area separate from the restaurant, plus a large outdoor dining area. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus cocktails and a Happy Hour menu. They are well-known for their soda fountain and desserts. I visited recently for a late breakfast, which they serve until 3 pm. Twohey's may become the prime SoPas breakfast spot soon, what with nearby Shakers unfortunately scheduled to close soon. Twohey's was having a Lobster Fest, with several lobster specials. I ordered the lobster omelet, which also contained shrimp, tomatoes, spinach, capers and a cream sauce. These ingredients were also available as a pasta dish. The omelet was fine, as were the hash browns, which were suitably crispy. There was only one slice of sourdough toast, but it was thick. I also ordered a side of onion rings, which they are known for. They are fresh and delish, not prefab. One of the better deals here is to order a sandwich or burger and make it a ring combo, so it comes with your original side choice PLUS onion rings for half the price of an a la carte order of rings. I also like their slushy drinks, which can contain alcohol. I like the non-alcoholic strawberry limeade. As mentioned before, their soda fountain items are old-school and yummy. A milkshake of course comes with the metal container it was made in. More than a few diners come here for especially for dessert. A classic, similar to but different from Shakers. I like them both. read more

Just came by for a cocktail with a few friends. It feels like a diner but they do have a full bar. They have different names for classic cocktails. I got the Seco washout which is like a spicy margarita. I actually did not like it despite loving spicy margs. My boyfriend got the All Along the Watertower which is essentially a Painkiller. That one was delicious and I drink all of his and he had my drink haha. read more

Twohey's is a cozy hometown diner that is always amazing. They have a wide variety of delicious comfort food. This time when I went I wanted breakfast for dinner and sure enough they had it. (See attached omelette picture.) All of the staff, from servers to management, are pleasant and helpful. One time a manager walked by and saw my young granddaughter was with me and brought her some chicken noodle soup because that's what she always served her young grandchildren. Another thing I really appreciate is if there is an issue, they will make sure it is resolved immediately. Twohey's is a favorite go-to for our family!! read more

Had a breakfast gathering of men from our Small Group Fellowship to catch up. We got an early start meeting up and the place was already bustling. We were fortunate to get a table and were seated immediately. The hostess then asked if we wanted drinks to get started and got a waitress to get us started with coffee's all around. She gave us some time to peruse the menu and was back shortly to check up on us to see if we're were ready to order. All in all everyone enjoyed their breakfasts and the excellent service. read more

I have been here twice. If I had to choose a favorite, it will be their buttermilk pancakes!! ‍ They are not very thick but they are so buttery and soft. Spread some butter and syrup on them and it's the best combo! It is a very busy and noisy place, but the staff is very attentive, friendly and willing to answer any questions you may have about their menu. It gets VERY busy during brunch time, and parking is a bit difficult to find, waiting time for us was about 30 min the first time. The second time we got there around 2p and didn't have to wait to be seated. Breakfast is served until 3p. Overall definitely recommend! read more

Totally great experience. Our server was there and attentive - we didn't have to ask for anything like refills, they just showed up My Cobb Salad was very fresh, crispy lettuce, radishes, avocado ... and loved the Ranch Dressing. Another "home run" was the zucchini bread that came with the salad. Moist and SOOO nicely herbed and spiced. Bought a loaf to take home (pricey but you only live once) and know the family will enjoy as part of Thanksgiving. This was a pleasant "experience". The place has a very retro feel and was fun to dine at read more

Went back to one of my old standby's just for a quick snack dessert and coffee. I had been craving the milk chocolate hot fudge sundae that only Twohey's makes in this area and a coffee to go with it. Greeted by the sweetest hostess and sitting at Frida's table made the trip perfection! While I was there I decided to have some onion rings to go with the dessert because I was a little hungry also. The Onion Rings were THE BEST because they are made from real, thick onions where you can actually taste the flavor of the onion and not just a mouthful of crusted batter! The Sundae, oh the Sundae, always has been the best with their real vanilla ice cream, real milk chocolate hot fudge (NOT Hershey's syrup), and of course the homemade whipped cream that is the perfect addition. Top it off with some almonds and a cherry, immaculate!! Nothing better! Though I didn't eat a real meal, from eating there my whole life, I can tell you their meals and burgers and other appetizers and side are just as bomb as my little snacks! Get out and enjoy this SGV Legend as soon as possible and break that stupid resolution (if you haven't already)!! read more

The food and service at Twoheys are both fantastic. We need these family run eateries. The give families a great place to gather and they create jobs. For those people leaving low star reviews solely on price, stay home, eat your bowl of cereal. These restaurants are businesses. They aren't soup kitchens. They are simply trying to operate on a margin. Learn a bit about operating a business before you take a place down solely on price. If you want to point fingers look no further than your state and local officials who have run SoCal into the ground read more

I was passing by this place many times since I moved to Pasadena, but never got a chance to dine here. Gave it a try tonight and was not disappointed! Although it was a longer than 15 promised minutes wait time before we got inside, it definitely worth it! Amazing service, relatively quick and delicious food. The interior and overall atmosphere is very 50s style, even some guests seemed to be dressed up for the theme. Loved everything, especially their signature sundaes, will be coming back fir more. read more

The food here is pretty decent. Haven't been back since they move from the Alhambra location near in n out. The decor here is very elevated and modern now compared to the original diner feel. The side salad here is pretty dec by size when added an entreee and really enjoyed their house dressing. The short rib melt was really good. The short rib was packed into the sandwich. While the restaurant doesn't have major stand outs from other diners I really enjoyed my meal. read more

We ordered a few things here. Breakfast was typical from a diner standpoint. The food was great in flavor, pancakes were nice and fluffy. The s'mores pancakes were pretty good. Chocolatey and delicious. My bacon was a bit too crisp. I like crispy but I also like to bite into the meat if that makes any sense? Service was friendly. Didn't wait too long on a Sunday morning to get seated for a family of 5. read more

Twohey’s Restaurant - Lox Platter- I think this is the breakfast combo with no pancakes/waffles - New American Near Me - South Pasadena, California

Perfect in every way if diner is what you are looking for. One of the only long-open restaurants that has gotten better over time.

This place is SO SO incredibly overpriced for what it is, it borders on parody. Like absurdly overpriced for diner food. I honestly don't know why people go here for breakfast. Also, the price on the menu for orange juice is misleading. They list one price but if you get a large orange juice, they charge you double stating that the price is for a small. NO WHERE does it say that. Pancakes are at least good though. You can get a much better breakfast for far less at a million other places. read more

Was looking for a good place to get a quick bite to eat and stopped at TWOHEY's and was impressed! Ordered the Prime Rib dip and it was great , flavorful prime rib, crusty roll and the au jus was excellent. They even offer raw horseradish...bonus! The service was genuinely great too. Our server Aaron was friendly and very attentive. It's getting harder and harder to find quality food and service done right, TWOHEY's actually gets it. Restaurant is clean and welcoming. Highly recommend the Prime Rib Dip. We'll definitely be back! read more

Unfortunately, this will be our last time dining here. My husband and I were seated about five minutes after arriving, which was reasonable. However, the service was extremely slow from start to finish. We sat outside around 6 pm. and observed a male server attending to his tables quickly and attentively, while our server took over 15 minutes just to bring our drinks. Once our food arrived, she never checked on us once food was dropped off, and it took an excessive amount of time to receive the check. We even were made to feel bad for asking a food runner for a side of ranch and were greeted with an annoyed face and telling us she would let our server know; which she never did. The food may be OKAY, but the level of service did not justify the price or the long wait. Overall, a very disappointing experience. read more

I remember when they were located off of Huntington Drive in Alhambra and being sad when I thought it closed, but I was ecstatic when I learned it only moved to South Pasadena! Two things haven't changed since, the delicious food and extremely nice workers. On my most recent trip we took my mom out to breakfast for New Years Eve! The wait wasn't too bad, about 10-20 minutes for a table of 3. Our server was extremely nice and helpful. I ended up ordering the biscuits and gravy with egg whites and sausage. It was amazing! I enjoyed every single bite. My fiancé and mom loved their breakfast orders as well! They both ordered pancakes with eggs and bacon. Our plates were licked clean by the time we were done! Our coffee's were never empty, so huge shoutout to our amazing server that day. I wish I remembered here name, but she did mention she was going to watch the Stranger Things finale that night with her son, so I hope they enjoyed the finale. Already looking forward to my next visit! Oh and they have Happy Hour during the week as well, so another reason to stop by! read more

Same old Twohey's. Food was fresh and tasty. Cost have definitely increased here just like everything and everyone else around. Service still hasn't improved and zero personality to warrant these prices. And for the management. Try saying hello to tables? Ambiance is cleaner than most restaurants and that's a plus. Long time restaurant Shakers down the street closing so maybe they can hire happy people from there? Recommend when other options aren't available. read more
