Been going to Bobby's when it was Rick's - if that makes sense - and Bobby has only made it better. Advice, if you are low on sodium after a rough Parade or nite out, DOUBLE SPECIAL GO! Sourdough cheeseburger with grilled onions. Top that with steak style fries and you are happy. Veggie only? Have the vegerito burrito - no mayo for me - hot, and bean cup - hot! Bobby won't share the recipe but it is the best hot sauce around. Finally, having gone low-carb, just ask for a beef burrito in a bowl - hot! Beef, lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and... Hot sauce less the tortilla... Having read the prior review: the tattooed girl is Jessica. She is awesome and if you visit regularly she knows your orders and is a champ. Maybe a bad day, but if you are going for courtesy over food, there's a McDonalds on Colorado... read more

Great customer service, prices are reasonable, and great location. Encourage people to check it out.

"Holy Sh*t it's Rick's Burger!!!" Not every is gonna love this place... but I remember Rick's and am glad its still around. Pros: - They give you ALOT OF FOOD. - Pretty standard stuff, but it does taste delicious - Fairly cheap price - Friendly-ish staff Cons: - The female staff look prison tough (which is actually kind of a pro too) - The sign says Bobby's instead of Rick's Mental Note: Go here more... don't take it for granted like you did to Rick's. read more

Great place for a cheap, fast meal. I work across the street and always come here for a fast and filling lunch. Their burgers are well cooked and juicy; I recommend getting them with the chopped onions. The cheeseburger deal is my usual--a burger, drink, and fries for around $7. The fries are thick cut and fresh, and there are a lot of them! Service is fast and pleasant. read more

I ordered the Tostada salad. It was very good and flavorful. Prices are good you can't beat that and I am definitely coming back. Excellent service! read more

Thursday June 19, 2014 Noon I work in the area and wanted to catch the Uruguay v. England match. I wasn't terribly invested in the match but it is the World Cup. In an effort to mix it up a little, I chose this spot instead of nearby, 'Rounds'; HUGE mistake! I've been here 2 times before and it was not horrible but it was not wildly impressive either. In general, service is fair and food is unspectacular. I walked in and it was at least 10 degrees warmer inside the restaurant than it was outside. This should have been where I turned around and walked to Rounds... I ordered the cheeseburger on sourdough combo. The ranch dressing that came w/my fries was watery and bland and the mayo in the burger tasted odd. Even more unsettling than the condiments was how I instantly felt bloated after the meal. While the meal was substantial, I felt more like I had feasted at an AYCE buffet. I felt so full that I didn't eat anything else all day. It was not until later that evening that my body began to break down. It began with the stomach pains that persisted throughout the night that lead to nausea and the dreaded diarrhea. In the morning, the cold sweats, fever, body aches and persistent diarrhea. Yup, you guessed it, FOOD POISONING! read more

Strolled in because i was craving a spuderito. Received a warm greeting on arrival and the owner asks me, "Where have you been?!" I haven't been in since they moved. Have to confess I felt a little bit like royalty. He proceeded to offer me a sample of the onion rings and zucchini fries to go along with my spuderito. I decided to add meat since, hey, may as well go all in with the fat right? I think I prefer the spuderito without the meat, but still very tasty. Make sure you don't go too light on the sauce like i did. Overall, very tasty - just right to fulfill my craving. The zucchini and onion rings were just a wee bit salty, but you can ask for no or light salt if you order them. Otherwise delicious. read more

Bobby's Place - Spuderito with beef. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

I came in, told them I hadn't been there before and the owner Bobby and his wife employees all made recommendations for me. I had a Spudiritto with beef and it was excellent, it was the perfect level of spiciness and flavor The service was excellent, Bobby catered to my every need, I asked for Wi-FI he quickly sprung into action and got me a password. I told him I was new in town so he gave me recommendations of all the best restaurants in the area which I will be down to try! He even gave me some samples of his new dishes he's been working on. In reference to Willy R's review, I met the dark haired tattooed girl and she was polite to me. If there was a problem it looks like they fixed them because the customer service I experienced today was actually unusually good. Before I left, I had to try a cheeseburger. (I'm a big eater) and it was great, got it on Sourdough! read more

Amazing chicken salad and onion rings are too die for, this is definitely my new breakfast, lunch and dinner spot. I can't wait to tell my family and friends. Also, the owner and employees are super helpful, friendly and make you feel welcome just as if you were family. read more

Stopped here on a whim, literally cruising for burgers. Glad I did! Had a "French Cheese Burger". It's served on Sourdough, not something you usually see at a burger stand. Very good fries! The place is really clean and the vibe in the room is friendly. The young guy who runs it talks to the customers like they are friends. He even gave me a sample of a new cantaloupe drink he had made. Very cool neighborhood place. read more

Bobby's Place - Gooooood stuff!! Surprise surprise ...... - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

This is a revived version of a Pasadena favorite. Came here for lunch and ate a bean and cheese burrito with lettuce, tomato, and hot sauce. It was pretty decently sized burrito for a little over $3. It was also pretty quiet and there was no wait. Um ok ! read more

Been coming here since it was Rick's around the way. It's nothing fancy, but always tasty and affordable. Big ups to the staff, always kind.

I love Bobby's!! This is as old-school as it gets, simple menu - simple taste! From the crunchy tacos to their grilled burgers, it's fast easy food on the go. Everyone has their favorites and love them or hate them, if you want something tasty they are cheap and satisfying! The hot sauce is tangy and spicy, mmmm mmmm! I love the crunchy tacos!! **Parking can be found out back, off a oneway street. :) read more

Cheeseburger is bomb ! They're online system is pretty much useless! I ordered and was charged, walk in and the girl behind the counter looks at me and says "oh we're still using that!!" She found it on her phone after a few mins and says they don't always get the orders?? Welllll Bobby don't have an online ordering system that doesn't inform your employees of your online orders ! Nobody wants to place an order in advance just to be waiting . I'll still go back for the burger though. read more

I don't know if it's the same cook from the old place but the food is just as good. You can't go wrong with anything you get.

First time. Cheese burger special. Burger was sloppy, cold, and a little soggy. Nothing special about it. Customer service sucked. Not be satisfied. Maybe i should've ordered a burrito. read more

Sorry Bobby... For me it will always be Ricks! Been coming here for years. The employees are always super nice, although a little rushed. Location is better than before and they seem to be making constant upgrades and improvements. The food is consistent. I recommend the beef burrito (or as they call it, "meat"), hot or taco, hot. The burrito is simple: Tortilla, meat, cheese, sauce. Great as a hangover cure! Spent many Sunday mornings (ok, afternoons) here... The recent move seems not to have affected the food, service or business, which is great as many places fail after making a move (Norma's) Critiques.. Don't like sitting under a flat screen tv... Maybe a counter in the long hallway? Or stools at the low counter? Keep it up! Glad to see you guys are doing well! read more

Breakfast burritos!!! Breakfast burritos!!!! Get the green sauce on the side you won't regret it

I loved the onion rings !!! This place is great for lunch they have fast service and the cheese burger was also really good and the combo with fries and a drink for under $10 can't beat that for good food. Better than any fast food place around. read more

This place, this freaking awesome place dude... A 5 minute walk from here and you can reach The Counter, where you can spend $20 on a burger topped with almonds, quinoa, and some stupid exotic mustard that has like 4 words in its name. Meanwhile, Bobby's Freakin' Place is pumpin out a half pound of greasy, savory goodness at $6 a pop. Want it covered with Tapatio? No questions asked. You want jalapeños? The dude in the back will ask if you want that s**t sliced, grilled, with/without seeds.... I'm from Texas and didn't know you could personalize jalapeños past "a little" or "a lot" (FYI get em sliced and grilled). Want quinoa and almonds? GTFO dude, go to the Counter... And the seasoning on that s**t.... duuuuude.... whatever they season it with has to be the same stuff that the Dutch East India Company started wars over. I was doing my best not to moan while chomping down on that salty, savory awesomeness. Long story short... there's plenty of places in Pasadena where you can spend $30 on an ostrich burger slathered in avocado and topped with a pinch of pretentiousness. Or you can come to this palace, and see how a real deal, no frills burger is supposed to be done.... cut out the BS and just give me the best tasting burger in a 10 mile radius. Again... for 6 FREAKIN BUCKS. read more

Definitely hole-in-the-wall but very flavorful. My first time trying it with friends and they have a Bobby's special that they loved. It's a little bit too greasy for me but at the same time it's what adds to the flavor. I had the French Cheeseburger and it was delicious. read more

I came here for a quick bite. I didn't care about a review, I was just starving. Ordered a breakfast burrito with sausage and it was GOOD. Like amazing good. Staff is chill and friendly. I will definitely come here again. read more

Bobby's Place - Breakfast burrito w/ sausage. Request for salsa inside. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

Five stars all the wayyyy!!!!! I have been coming here before this place was called bobbies and located on walnut . They moved a few years back and changed the name but I found them and continued coming . I usually order the bean and meat burrito as a combination meaning I add lettuce, tomato,onion,cheeses and hot sauce . There customer service is the best . The staff there treat you like family and are always welcoming . Best place ever read more

Love Love Love Bobby's place!! Bobby and his staff are great! Always smiling and on top of everything! Me and my hubby go there often to get breakfast and get away from the kids.. grew up eating from here since it was ricks, I'm glad they have a breakfast menu now, best breakfast burritos ever! read more

Think dive bar meets burger joint. They would probably honestly give no fcks if the President strolled in here. So in all likelihood, they don't care who you are and are not going to go out of their way to make sure you're well taken care of. That said, they are nice people who are very responsive when you take the initiative. Really good junk food otherwise. read more

Super food and even better prices the young lady with the tattoos is very friendly also thank you so much read more

I'm not a big fan of burritos but these are the only ones I'll eat ! Always nice and clean guest are so nice I will always come back for my egg burrito ! read more

First time here & delicious Breakfast taco is the best I've ever had. The only reason I give it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the hamburger was too salty for my taste. Next time I'll order it without salt. read more

I wish I could give 0 stars because I am extremely disappointed in the service. I ordered a breakfast burrito (I have never ordered this before) I usually just get the cheeseburger special but today I wasn't really feeling a cheeseburger. The guy at the counter was fairly new (but very sweet) I guess he is just learning the menu which was completely understandable that he might not fully remember what is in everything we all make mistakes it's normal. So I get my burrito, everything is perfect except that the burrito contains a burrito sauce that's tomato base you can tell right away as the burrito is moist with the sauce, I try to be positive at first- I am a very picky eater but I am not one to complain and I definitely didn't want to say anything until I at least tried it. I tried it and I did not like the sauce at all. So my boyfriend goes and tells the workers what is going on- they automatically say we can't give you your money back we already gave you your food. 1. I don't want my money back 2. All I wanted was a new burrito without the sauce. My boyfriend and I really didn't want to cause a scene over this because it wasn't worth the fight so we just let it go. Most places are very understanding when food items need to be changed but I guess not here. It wasn't like we ate half or the whole burrito and then brought it up. There was literally only 2 bites taken on that burrito and it looks all messed up in the picture because I still tried to clean the sauce off after they told me they couldn't do anything about it so I can attempt to eat it but even that was a fail I just threw it away. What a waste of money. read more

I love their spuderito. It was very tasty I keep coming back for more. This is the second time here. I have been craving this burrito. They put this really good hot sauce. read more

Bobby's Place - Very funny - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

I will not be eating here again the lady with the short gray haircut was very rude and there was a young gentleman with his nose hanging out of his mask sneezing on his arm multiple times and never washed his arm. After I saw that I requested a refund and she said it's OK he tested negative. I'm not sure if she's the manager or the owner but from a customer service perspective you should never argue with the customer if they want a refund because they don't feel comfortable eating at a place where a teenager is sneezing around you food during a pandemic. After I requested my refund she told me that the other gentleman would have to do that for me because she didn't know how. I finally was able to get a refund to my card.But I would expect at least an apology like I am so sorry this won't happen again instead of a bad attitude don't waste your time don't give them your money. read more

Tasty burger joint! Love this new location!! Same great food but I can enjoy watching one of the many flat screens while I wait for my food. read more

Bobby's Place - If you're going to splurge, make it count! Love Bobby's Place in #Pasadena!!! - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - Pasadena, California

I can't vouch for the burgers, but the Mexican food is delicious. Not sure why you'd go to TB or Del Taco and pay $2 for a taco, when for a quarter more you get fresh ground beef, cheese, lettuce, and slice of tomato. And free fresh salsa if you're so inclined (vs. a hot sauce packet). Plus, the meat is not greasy at all, so unlike TB the shell stays extra crispy. Highly recommend this place. read more

I went to Bobby's place for a quick meal just now and until the back cook was done with my burger did the lady in the front notice she was out of fries. Usually I would not notice this but I saw my burger sitting there for 8 minutes while the fries are getting made and I was in a hurry. She should pay more attention on getting the customers meals out quicker and not chit chat so much. read more

You have to try the breakfast tacos! Haven't seen them anywhere else. Overall, very friendly, clean and great food!! I work across the street and when I want homestyle taste, I come here. read more

Tried the cheese burger set today, which includes a cheeseburger, drink and fries. Cheeseburger is okay. Definitely above McDonald's, but below In-N-Out. They offer Pepsi at the fountain, and choices are pretty limited. I was disappointed with this limited number of choices. Fries is okay, it's not fresh made from potato, but it's hot and juicy. It's better than McDonald's, and close to In-N-Out. The place is pretty quite and spacious too, mainly due to competitions down the street. One thing to complain, the menu and its font size are too small to read from distance. I wanted to rate it three stars, but decided to give it an extra star to four stars in order to support small business. read more

The best little spot in town for Mexican 'fast food', I come here regularly for tacos and fries when we order lunch for everyone in the office. I love fries and they give a generous helping. I've also had burritos, tostadas and the jalapeño fries. The other day I tried their breakfast burrito. It was so good I was surprised it didn't taste like the everyday basic breakfast burrito. I think it's the tomato based sauce they use but not sure. It was jammin tho, I split it and we were both satisfied. There wasn't a glob of tortilla at the end and the inside was spread evenly so that each bite had everything in it. The staff is very friendly and the place is clean. read more

Pretty good burger place for a quick lunch! Surprisingly affordable burgers that are very filling too! Can't go wrong with a cheeseburger and some fries for around $6! It's not too packed during lunch time and there are plenty of tables. Burger pattys are slightly bigger than in-n-outs and they pack it with lettuce and tomatoes. Single Cheese burger is just about $4 if not less and fries are around $2 i believe. Service here is good and they serve your food very quickly, parking can be found behind the restaurant or street parking. read more
