    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

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    As you already know, this is our go-to spot for burgers. When the craving hits, this is usually…read morewhere we end up without even thinking twice. Tonight we decided to switch things up a little, and hubby ordered the bacon cheeseburger. Normally we prefer the quarter-pound patty, but this one was slightly thicker, which definitely made us feel full a lot quicker. That said, the burger was still super juicy, had the right filling-to-meat ratio, and came on that perfectly soft bun that holds everything together without falling apart. Solid choice. I stuck with my usual chicken breast salad, and it was delicious as always. Fresh, satisfying, and dependable -- although I'll admit I'm still not a fan of bell peppers, so those got politely pushed to the side. One thing I have noticed over time is that the fries seem to be getting a little smaller in portion each visit. I also miss the thicker-cut fries from about six months ago -- those were my favorite. The current ones still do the job, but the old style definitely had my heart. Overall, this is still a definite must-try spot if you're craving a good burger. Consistent, satisfying, and always hits the spot. Happy eats!

    Oof so much to say about the Pastrami breakfast burrito here…read more I stooped by Sunday morning to a decent breakfast crowd but my order was taken within 3 minutes of walking in. The cashier was nice but maybe she's new because she couldn't believe I wanted tater tots in my breakfast burrito instead of the homestyle potatoes. She asked me 4 times if that's what I wanted and then called a manager over to ask her too. It was just a super odd moment. The pastrami breakfast burrito is about $15 and it's a great size. Once I started digging in I immediately noticed issues. The pastrami was tough, fatty, stringy, and so overly salty. The tots were crispy but the first half of the burrito was just that - pastrami and tots. I actually got worried thinking they forgot the egg and cheese until I cut half way and realized all the egg and cheese was piled onto one end of the burrito. Why? How? Who taught these guys how to build a burrito? By then I had lost my appetite due to the pastrami but even so, there was hardly any egg and cheese compared to the pastrami. The green salsa too was bad. No flavor whatsoever all you get is the burning sensation from the peppers. I really think they just blended peppers and called it a salsa

    I've heard these breakfast burritos are the go to if you want a breakfast burrito and that…read morestatement couldn't be more right. This is a burger joint with a diverse menu, including one of the biggest breakfast burritos in town. I got my burrito with bacon. The burrito comes with hashbrown style potatoes, eggs and cheese - you get a choice of ham, bacon or sausage for your meat (or have it without meat). The bacon was crispy and remained crispy when I reheated my other half. Not only is the bacon crispy, the burrito has a generous amount of it! Oh and the other plus - the tortilla does not come wet and soggy and remains in perfect condition if you have leftovers. The burrito comes with only one salsa and to be honest, you really do need two for such a big burrito. I'm a green salsa girl but I asked what I should go with and I was recommended the red one (the green one is supposedly spicier). The red salsa did not disappoint other than I needed one more for my whole burrito (there's no kick to this salsa but it's tasty). The burrito itself isn't bursting with flavor on its own and it requires the salsa to compliment the other ingredients. But, who eats a breakfast burrito without salsa? There is ample parking in their parking lot and there's seating both inside and outside. I will definitely be returning to satisfy my breakfast burrito craving very soon and if this is what you're looking for - stop reading reviews and go get you one at Lucky Boy (it's served all day).

I always start off my ratings with cleanliness. I worked in a high volume restaurant back in the 70's. If you weren't doing something you were cleaning. Ordered the classic burger, fries and coke. Picked up my order after a short wait. Cleaned off my own table and sat down. Burger looked decent, fries looked amazing and can never say anything bad about a classic coke. First bite of the burger was a little disappointing. Burger was thin and seemed overcooked to me. I thought it was dry. Roll, lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo were ok. Not bad overall but for some reason I expected a better burger experience. Let's talk about the fries. Truly classic French fried potatoes. Perfectly cooked. Light golden color. Nice texture and flavor. What every French fry should look and taste like. Coke was great. Sorry to say I was not impressed by the burger. This was my experience on 05/09/2026. Could have been cleaner and maybe the burger not overcooked. Your experience may be totally different.

    Parking - 3.5/5. Free Street parking in Pasadena…read more Cost - $20-30/pp The burger itself was around the low $20 range, though the chicken pot pie looked incredible and I'd probably try that next time. The burger was genuinely very good--not life-changing gourmet food, but exactly what a classic American burger should taste like. The best way I can describe it is like an elevated old-school burger. Similar spirit to In-N-Out in its simplicity, but juicer like if burlesque was a burger. You're going for the atmosphere, the history, and the feeling of stepping into a different era of California. Overall: * Food: 5/5 * Atmosphere/Nostalgia: 5/5 * Parking: 3.5/5 * Service: 5/5 * Value: 4/5 Not necessarily a mandatory stop for tourists unless you really love historic food institutions, but if you live in L.A., it's absolutely worth visiting at least once.

But the crown jewel of the meal, as it has always been, is the fried zucchini. I have never found better fried zucchini, and trust me, I've been trying for years. Service at the window was just as friendly as I remembered, and we grabbed a spot tucked under the patio instead of staying inside--perfect for people-watching as folks came and went. There's something really special about being welcomed back by a place that tastes exactly like you remember. Connal's still delivers.
