Amazing food and even better service. Patty took great care of us -- attentive, kind, and made our afternoon special. Everything was perfect. The food was outstanding and Patty's service was top-notch. We'll definitely be back. Great meal, flawless service. Patty was fantastic -- friendly, fast, and went above and beyond. read more

Food was delicious. We had the biscuits/gravy breakfast and hash egg Benedict. Restaurant was new, clean with plenty of seating. However...when I arrived, the receptionist never acknowledged me or even looked up when I was the only one there. Server didn't ask if we wanted water or more coffee. Service needs some work!!! 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

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

Great food! We sat outside and the ambiance was groovy! Amongst people but alone. Excellent service too.

Steak Frites! When this location opened the Steak Frites were delicious! Steak cut in small bite size pieces with plenty of steak au poivre sauce. I went a couple of weeks ago for dinner and ordered, very disappointed, the steak came out whole, was tough and sauce was definitely not au poivre, I guess there is a new chef who doesn't understand French cooking. I also spoke to a friend who loves Steak Frites, they went two weeks after me, I asked them how it was, they said Twohey's has really gone downhill. It is our local restaurant we can walk to, but if our favorite dish isnt good we would only go back once in a while... read more

It's been a minute we have not been here and I know they had St. Paddy's traditional course of corn beef & cabbage. Plus first my lady having this course and she love it as we were seated outside the front patio in the shade was perfect. Total price with fruit ice tea hit the spot around $70 and our waiter was awesome . The service is was excellent too. 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

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

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

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

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

Food was great! I had a burger with a side salad, the husb had poutine and fish tacos and a beer. The husb got his items from the happy hour menu. We sat outside, it was a nice day to do so as it wasn't hot or cold. The weather was just right. Our waiter was helpful, he got us our discount from Toast for my birthday treat. Now, I did notice that other people that were having a birthday meal got a birthday sundae. I was not offered one. I didn't think that was cool. Sure, I got a discount, maybe that's why it wasn't offered? Not sure. Food was great, service was great, our waiter went beyond what was needed, but I just didn't like the fact that I wasn't offered a birthday sundae. I didn't feel valued as a customer or guest. read more

Two words...garlic fries. Fourvstar for those fries. Wow they were so gooood. Despite a few bad fries that were black and blemished...and there were too many tiny bits nasquerading as fries....but wow all forgiven, just the right amt of garlic...also not salty or greasy. Very enjoyable though some flawed bits. Also fivr stars was the great was the butternut squash soup. Really amazing flavor, very butternut good, a creme-based soup with oyster crackers, perfect for a rainy chilly day. KUDOS TO THE CHEF. We liked that the patty melt had a plethora of choice for the side...but did I mention the garlic fries. Even my picky mom enjoyed them. The patty melt on marbled bread was good, mom was happy..altgough ...tho mom asked for medium and only half fit her ask...which was totally schizophrenic...one hamburger meat patty with only half that turned out medium and the other half was fefinitely well done. Mom liked it nonethless but it wasn't totally the temp asked for. Our waiter was fine but never stopped by unless we flagged him...we asked for water, and he chatted with colleague instead. Made my 87 year old mom ask twice. I had to stop him for coffee refill, tho he did bring a small carafe without me having to ask, which I totally appreciated. I had to flag him to ask about dessert and he rattled off the choices from memory, so we chose to share an NY cheesecake. The slice was breathtakingly small, but nice having a rosette of whip creme on the side. The service was adequate but other customers seemed to be more important, and I didn't appreciate that since I brought my mom here to impress her with a nice dining out experience. Overall, we were happy campers, comfy in our booth, and it was nice that the inattention gave us a leisurely dining experience. Mission accomplished. Everyone from tecpti9n was friendly and welcoming. And we were seated straight away. Free parking...clean fresh relaxed ambiance with lots of booths that create a sense of privacy...you cant see anyone else in their booths...an inviting bar section..... read more

We go here many times. The service is always attentive and cheerful. The food is delicious and cooked perfectly. Eggs, Benedicts, corn beef, omelets, and whatever else we had, everything was great. And they have mimosas! We always get desserts. Apple pie, ice cream, carrot cake, chocolate cake and chocolate cream pies all are delicious. We enjoy the ambiance and lightness there. We will continue to come back! read more

Very cool restaurant. We went here for a school fundraiser and had a short wait (it was a rather busy night!). Once seated, we were attended to immediately. Shout-out to our server for her quick and efficient service! We ordered the hot wings appertizer and they surprisingly lived up to their name. I then ordered a regular cheeseburger combo for my son, while I had the short ribs sandwich. I have to admit, the short ribs sandwich was much better than I thought it was going to be! It was super delicious. My son had the Oreo milkshake and he said it was great. I had the famous ice cream sundae and I'm glad I got the small size becaue it was rather big! My only complaint were the prices. I thought they were a wee bit expensive so this will be a treat, for sure. But I do recommend this place! read more

Met some friends for Sunday Brunch. Had been meaning to check Twohey's off the list. Overall..Not as good as I expected it to be. It was an extremely busy day. 45 min wait turned into an hour or longer. We had a large party of 10.We sat in a separate room of the side of the bar, which was kind of nice. Waitress was nice. She kept the drinks flowing. I ordered chilaquiles. I try them everywhere. I didn't enjoy them at all. chips were soaked in the sauce instead of sauce poured on top. so there was no sauce on the dish which left everything else dry. steak slices were dry and way overcooked. Maybe I should have stuck to some simple boring breakfast item. My son ordered french toast. Nothing special to it. Looks like something he cooked himself at home. My husband got a breakfast sandwich or burger that was tasty though, so that was a win. The drinks I had were good. Had a couple of the Meridian cocktail and had a couple sips of my friend's bloody mary. I would come back for drinks and appetizers. Not sure how I feel about another meal. read more

Was recommended by my brother and sister-in-law. I trust their taste but it honestly kind of blew my expectations away. I came here with my mom this past Sat and waited maybe 10 mins when I got here around 9 AM. FIrst of all, I would say I was the most surprised by their hot coffee. I know it's only "coffee" but the coffee was actually really good and not to mention hot. Service was very good too. I didn't expect much from the service but I thought it kind of exceeded my expectations. My mom and I got the Short Rib Hash and the Country Fried Steak. I loved both of them a lot. Came with bread too and those were good as well. I think my short rib were well seasoned, loved all my potatoes and when you put some short rib, egg, and potato together how wrong can it get. I loved the country fried steak as well and hats off to their hash browns (loved breakfast hash browns) for being really crispy. It was prob standard pricing in terms of American breakfast/ a little cheaper than some that I've been to. I would highly recommend it for American Breakfast. read more

Old school since 1943. You can enjoy breakfast meals even at dinner time as it's served all day. The staff is always great and we had a very friendly young waitress serving our group. We ordered an omelet with sour dough bread for dinner and it was actually really good. This building has gone through different phases over the decades and the remodel attempted to keep some of the old school interior vibes. read more

My first time here and it was really nice. Service was attentive and the food was really good. The atmosphere and ambiance feels like an upscale diner. We came when it was happy hour so the hubby enjoyed his alcoholic drink and tacos for $20? I got their classic burger-- recipe from last century so it's pretty simple but tasty. 6 year old had breakfast for dinner and gobbled everything up. It's funny how local lore kept me away from this place (wierd racist stories of them when they were in the Alhambra/San Marino location) so it's nice to finally experience it myself and have my own opinions of the restaurant. read more

We have been here a number of times and never had an issue before. But today, we had the vegan breakfast burrito and short rib hash. Both were fine, although the hash was quite oily. The real issue was the customer service. The breakfast section of the menu clearly says you can substitute fresh fruit or salad for potatoes, which we did. But when the bill came, our server said those were not included and charged us for both. $5 for fruit and $3 for salad. When we asked the server about it, she said neither were included. I just checked the menu again and they clearly are included. If there is an upcharge for the substitution, the menu does not disclose this. Either way, it doesn't seem kosher. It's a shame because it's a small amount to lose regular customers over. read more

It seems like this place is a hit or miss on the dishes. Some of the dishes are good, but some of them are just kind of average. What I noticedIs dishes that have chicken tend to be on the dryer side. Some of the better dishes are things like their prime rib dip sandwich. It's jambalaya pasta was good. Today, my father had the hamsteak breakfast.Which was fine. I had the healthy breakfast but like I said, it seems like any dishes with chicken leans on the dryer side. The chick the chicken locked any flavor. read more

Went for Happy Hour. The cocktails and beer were good, however the appetizers were mediocre. We ordered the pork sliders, which had barely any meat. Basically bread. The Asada Fries were French fries with cheese and two tiny pieces of meat, the worst. The fish tacos were good, plenty of fish. The dry rub wings were okay, not seasoned very well. All in all a disappointment, thank goodness we were with good friends. read more

This place is my go to after going to the Rose Bowl antique fair. The food is really good, though I wouldn't call it. Mind blowing. It's standard fare with quality ingredients. For me personally, I would say the cocktails are my favorite part. Food portions are fairly large for the price point. Drawbacks would be the lack of parking (which obviously they can't help), and the wait times. Make a reservation if you can, as it gets really crowded on the weekends! read more

Short Review: Friendly neighborhood diner with great food and great service. They appreciate sports too, so if you're looking for a place to watch the game while you eat, they have generous table side service in their bar with multiple TVs. Long Review: So, in the South Pasadena area, Twohey's is an institution. They've been in the area at least 75 years. This location is relatively new in the last decade. They were at a location bordering So Pas / Alhambra, but moved into this space that had previously been vacated for years by an Italian restaurant that just didn't make it. The area is now revitalized with the addition of this restaurant to the location - which is what you want from every business don't you? A company that gives and celebrates its community? The menu is varied and good. Vegetarian and Vegan options a-plenty but good, fat bacon too!! ;) They have indoor and outdoor seating and are great for accommodating large parties for birthdays and other celebrations. They even put sparklers in your dessert if you're celebrating a special occasion. Pop in...you'll love it! read more

We had driven in for a show and saw the reviews on Twohey's Restaurant and decided to give it a try. It was mid afternoon on a Saturday and so we were seated immediately, no waiting. The hostess and our waitress were very friendly and welcoming. Straight away they gave us a very positive vibe to our experience upon arriving. The menu is extensive and I decided to give the Chicken Piccata a try. It was very different than the normal dish. The chicken breast is roasted and then sliced instead of being thinly sliced , breaded and pan fried. The sauce that was used on both the chicken and the pasta was delicious, and I enjoyed the meal, but still I was left wishing the chicken had been prepared as I would normally have expected. The service was above board from arrival to our departure and I will return to Twohey's when back in the area. read more

My youngest cousins & I had dinner at Twohey's on a recent Friday night. They were understandably busy so we waited about 15-20 minutes until we got seated. No big deal, as we were looking at the menu trying to decide & strategize on the what were gonna order/share. Ha! They have a covered waiting area with heat lamps which is nice. Host table was set up outside the entrance as well. I was a regular customer at the Alhambra location spending many post-Friday night lights there for diner food and this was my first time at the South Pas location. I tell you what, I like this location so much more. No more sharing an insane parking lot with In N Out next door and the updated, modern, bright, well-lit interior of the South Pasadena location gets my nod for sure. Our party of 3 was seated in a booth in Laura's section and we just loved her so much. She was running around helping other tables as we had just gotten seated and she made sure we knew she'd be by soon. She was great with her attentiveness & care (She even noticed my cousin's Stranger Things" t-shirt) and commented that she had something to show us. It was a photo of someone dressed up for Halloween that was full-on in character from the show. Laura really made our dinner that much more memorable. Very cool. 2 of us ordered the Heckels Prime Rib Dip ($21.95) and it was delicious. No cheese for me as I'm a purist. It's described as house roasted prime rib, horseradish Jack cheese, caramelized onions, horseradish-herb aioli on a french roll with jus. I picked their homemade potato chips to pair with my french dip and it was perfect. I loved the taste of the sliced prime rib, the slight crunch of the french roll, the complimentary flavor of the aioli and the au jus for dipping. It was great and I would order it again. I loved the homemade potato chips. Nice, salty & crispy.... My other cousin ordered the Short Rib Melt ($20.95) and he said it was so good. Slow-braised beef short rib, Jack cheese, Tillamook cheddar, bacon jam, horseradish aioli on sourdough. It looked really good. For dessert, we ordered a small strawberry sundae ($9.95), a chocolate/strawberry double thick shake ($8.95) and I got an Oreo double thick milkshake. It was SO GOOD. I was originally gonna get it to-go but Laura (ever looking out for us) said if I order it to-go I'll only get half as much because when having it inside the restaurant, you get the additional metal tumbler alongside it so you'll get more and can just take the rest home. She was totally right and I will never doubt her again. Thank you Laura! Thanks for being so great to my cousins and I. I will always request to be in your section when returning to Twohey's. Free parking in the shared lot... I like the new digs, Twohey's. read more
