Pie 'n Burger
If you’re searching for a classic American diner experience wrapped in nostalgia, look no further than Pie 'n Burger, located in the heart of Pasadena, CA. This charming hamburger restaurant has carved out a special place in the community with its retro vibe and scrumptious comfort food, serving as a beloved haven for locals and visitors alike.
As you step through the doors, you’ll be transported back to the 1960s with the diner’s vintage décor—think paneled walls, a mechanical push-button cash register, and a welcoming ambiance that makes you feel right at home. The staff is warm and friendly, eager to serve you a meal that captures the essence of home-cooked goodness.
The menu at Pie 'n Burger offers a delightful array of options that showcases their dedication to quality. You can start your day with their mouthwatering Egg Dishes, featuring classics like TWO EGGS ANY STYLE and hearty plates that include ham. For those looking to indulge, the Omelettes are a must-try—the CHILI & CHEESE OMELETTE and HAM & CHEESE OMELETTE are particularly crowd-pleasers, bursting with flavor and prepared with fresh ingredients.
But let’s be honest: the highlight here is undoubtedly the burgers. Customers rave about the cheeseburgers, which are described as juicy and flavorful, reminiscent of In-N-Out but meatier and satisfying. The option to add grilled onions lends a touch of richness that enhances every bite. Pair your burger with the crispy onion rings or a side of chili cheese fries for a truly decadent experience—although be prepared for mixed reviews on these sides, some finding them lacking in seasoning.
And no visit is complete without indulging in one of their famous homemade pies. The reviews sing praises of these treats, highlighting seasonal flavors and the nostalgic allure of classic diner sweets. The promise of a slice of pie at Pie 'n Burger is an experience filled with comfort and joy.
As a customer remarked, "It's by far the best mom and pop burger restaurant in California," which reflects the sentimental connection many have with this establishment. With a cash-only policy (ATMs available onsite), it feels like a step back in time—a cozy, no-frills dining experience that focuses entirely on delicious food and great service.
Whether you're a Pasadena local or just passing through, Pie 'n Burger is a culinary treasure worth savoring. Come for the burgers; stay for the pies; leave with a smile and a full belly!
