    Cheeseburger combi
    Dan W.

    Somewhere in the grapevine area on my trip from Sacramento, I was craving either a Chinese food lunch special...or burger. The mapquest led me to a Chinese restaurant in this shopping center, but the big lettering of "Burgers" caught my attention. Starting off, this is a SOLID 3...a 3+, if you will. I miss regular mom and pop shops serving basic food, as opposed to Sacramento which for some reason tries to cook above its station in its bougie-ness. The gentleman was friendly, took my order, and they got my sods for me. I ordered the ordinary Cheeseburger combo. The burger would not grace a magazine cover, but it tasted....like a tasty cheeseburger should. Good meat, and I could taste the gooey melty cheese. The fries were burning hot, and the potato was soft on the inside. Though probably not entirely their fault (thanks, inflation), my only knock is $17 seems a bit much. I only visit So Cal twice a year at most, and want to try a bevy of other restaurants, but if friends ever wanted to stop here, I'd be happy with another cheeseburger combo

    outrageously small portion for the price

    prices are outrageous. ordered a chili cheese fries which was $12 and was expecting a pretty generous portion. instead we got something less than half that size. they literally gave me a handful of fries. maybe the size of a large fries at mcdonalds. there were so little fries i could easily count the # of fries! stay away from this place, super greedy.

    Breakfast Burrito and spicy salsa
    Amanda H.

    My boyfriend and I walked over to finally try Dena's! After seeing consistent crowds around the ordering window, I knew this would be a must-try gem. You are able to order outside from the window or dine-in inside or on the patio. There are lots of pothos plants if you make it indoors. We both got breakfast burritos. I got the bacon and ham with spicy salsa and he got the combination with hot sauce. The portion size for the price (and quality) was worth it! The spicy salsa had a gradual kick but definitely made my burrito. Can't wait to come back and try some more of the menu!

    Casual fast food restaurant that has a pretty extensive menu. From burgers, sandwiches to burritos and salad, there are lots to choose from. Order was ready in about 10 min. Food was decent.

    Taquitos plate
    Marie C.

    Always feel welcomed when I come here. I had the chicken taquitos plate today, and an iced coffee that was delicious. We came in (4 of us) before the lunch rush which was good my order was ready in less than 10 minutes. This is not only a fast food restaurant they actually prep some dishes at the moment as well.

    Cheese fries ( i think it ) only had monterey cheese ,   they were out of the mixed one they usually use.   But it was still good

    Hi, went again tonight , haven't been in months. Wanted to try pastrami melt on sourdough and cheese fries. But he did say he was out of cheddar cheese. So could only use monterey jack on the fries. But on the pastrami i wasn't sure what kind of cheese they use or if we choose. I think he said he has cheddar. I don't know, honestly i get confused with different cheeses ( unless i see it ) in front of me in the package , lol. But both were good , only thing is the pastrami melt was not grilled as much as it could of been , and one reason is , he hardly buttered it. So next time i will be sure , to mention i like them buttered and grilled /melted good !!! :)

    Cheeseburger
    Thomas K.

    Overall an OK burger experience. I drive by everyday and wanted to try it out. Just got a plain cheeseburger. Food came out quick. It is exactly what you would expect from a small mom and pop hamburger shop. Nothing wrong with it. Nothing exceptional or exciting about it. Very standard. Pretty decent and satisfied. Pasadena just has too many good restaurants within 5mins that it would be hard to come here instead of all the other choices out there.

Thank you for going out of your way to let me know so I could put my food order in. I was going to give this location 4 stars because there was no WiFi but the staff was SO NICE I had to give them 5 stars. I was able to make due without working on my laptop. So if you don't need to get any work done, def give them a try! Perfect brunch spot.

The food was excellent at this restaurant. The only reason for the one star deduction is for the disorganization. We arrived. Here you order at the counter and then find a seat. We ordered and there was just a couple of people in front of us. Once we ordered we sat at a table designed for four and then someone came around after just a couple of minutes and moved us to a different four top in a different part of the restaurant. If they were going to do that, why not just seat people from the beginning. The person who took our order was very kind, and it did not take too long for the food to arrive. I had the Cesar Salad Wrap, which was very well dressed and not dry, as some wraps are. It came with a side of bananas and strawberries. Our table also shared the House Waffle, and boy was it a treat. It had a delicious pistachio and nutella waffle. It was yummy. I also got to try a bite of my Husband's spicy sausage sandwich. It had a delicious spicy sauce, which really had a nice kick. Overall, a good experience and I would probably try it again.

    The Reyn is a popular breakfast spot in Pasadena and a place I still visit from time to time,…read moreusually when meeting friends or colleagues. Despite its popularity, I find the food to be fairly average. Much of it tastes like it's made from standard commercial food-service ingredients rather than prepared fresh. On the positive side, the prices are reasonable, the dining room has a pleasant atmosphere, and the staff is generally attentive. Overall, it's a decent neighborhood breakfast restaurant - nothing particularly memorable, but nothing especially disappointing either. The Reyn Special - 3/5. A classic breakfast plate with eggs, bacon, hash browns, and banana bread. The eggs and bacon are fairly average, although the bacon tends to be overcooked and dry. The standout is the hash browns. They're cooked with a nicely browned, crispy crust while still remaining fairly moist inside. The real highlight, however, is the banana bread. It tastes homemade and is easily the best item on the plate. Crepes - 1/5. This dish comes as two separate plates: one with the ricotta-filled crepes and another with eggs, sausage, bacon, and your choice of fries or tater tots. Unfortunately, the crepes are the weakest part of the meal. The ricotta-filled crepes don't taste freshly made and instead resemble a pre-made food-service product that's simply reheated before serving. Both the crepe and ricotta filling have a generic flavor with noticeable artificial notes. You can choose either banana or strawberry topping, but both sauces taste overly processed and artificial. The accompanying breakfast plate is noticeably better. I chose the tater tots, which were well prepared - crispy on the outside while remaining soft inside. The bacon, however, was again overcooked and dry, making it tough to chew. The sausage was acceptable but unremarkable. Scrambled Supreme - 2.5/5. Despite the name, this is essentially an omelet. The eggs have a mild, neutral flavor, and the fillings are okay but don't stand out. Coffee - 2/5. The coffee is classic diner coffee in every sense. It's somewhat watery, heavily roasted, and finishes with a flat, slightly bitter aftertaste. It's neither particularly good nor particularly bad - just standard coffee that does the job. Overall, The Reyn succeeds as a comfortable, affordable breakfast spot with a pleasant atmosphere and friendly service. While the food is average, and several dishes rely on ingredients that taste commercially prepared rather than freshly made.
