Love this place! My wife and I both got the beef and chicken mixed doner and we both liked it. The bread is thin and a bit crispy, the white sauce is nice and flavorful, and the sandwich is overall well balanced in terms of meat/veggies/bread. Not a lot of places like this around so it's a good change of pace when you're looking for something a bit different. Still relatively healthy-ish as well. Would recommend! read more

The food here is exceptional! There are a lot of other döner places in and around LA, but this truly is German style! I remember being in Frankfurt and having a döner and this is right up there! The difference is their bread. This one is on a toasted sesame seed bread that just brings out the flavour of everything inside. The service was great too! Everything was made fresh and we will definitely be returning! If you're in the Pasadena area, check this place out. It's small and easy to miss but definitely worth a side trip to this hidden gem! read more

This little unassuming eatery tucked away in a tiny strip mall is a true hidden gem. My fiancé and I stopped by here on a whim, and we were not at all disappointed. The menu is pretty simple--döner sandwiches, wraps, plates, or German sausages. We opted for the mixed chicken and beef döner with spicy sauce and no onions. The standard vegetables include lettuce, tomato, and marinated cabbage. It's sandwiched between some crispy sesame bread that's baked fresh daily. The bread is light and airy. The combination of flavors from the meat, white sauce, spicy sauce, and marinated cabbage along with the crunch of the bread is heavenly. The owners, Arten and Vahe, are so nice too. I can't wait to go back. read more

Food was pretty good though overpriced. They ran out of beef but the chicken wasn't bad. Took a long time and the flavor was a bit bland but still pretty good. read more

Got some post work dinner take out from Frankfurter Guys and overall liked it! We came for the doner sandwich but ended up really liking the Bratwurst - authentic, snappy, and juicy Bread was also impressive and the perfect vessel to bring it all together However the Doner sandwich was a little underwhelming, bread again was great but it tasted a bit one dimensional after a couple bites Would recommend the chicken over the beef flavor read more

These guys have terrific signage visible from the intersection of Allen/Washington. It caught my attention going home from Stater Bros. I was hungry, so I found my way around a back alley and finally found that TINY parking lot and boy, was it worth it! I got greeted immediately upon entrance, BIG plus! I got the Braut combo with fries and soda. The "hot dog bun" if you can call it that, is from a circular bread specially baked for this type of use. They cut off a segment of the circle and that is your bun. They fill that with cabbage and/or veggies and your Braut on top. By God, all if that STAYS TOGETHER!! This bread makes it all possible. There is nothing worse than having to use a knife and fork at that OTHER biergarten that uses the Kings Hawaiian Bread for its bun. At Frankfurter Guys, finger food IS finger food! read more

If you're looking for donor style sandwiches must try this place. Ordered a beef donor sandwich - loved the bread, meat was tender, flavorful, bunch of toppings, and the spicy sauce was great. They will be adding more items to their menu. read more

I recently tried the shawarma plate here, and it was absolutely delicious. The meat was perfectly seasoned and cooked just right, while the fresh vegetables and flavorful sauces added the perfect balance. The service was also friendly and quick, making the whole experience even better. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone craving a tasty and authentic shawarma. read more

Current Special: Sandwich, ton of fries, and a drink for $9.99. Can't get a deal like this anywhere. And, beef sandwich was so good. Toasted bread and fillings (tomato, marinated cabbage) were perfect. A must try even without the special. read more

Frankfurter Guys - $9.99 Special - German Near Me - Pasadena, California

I genuinely wanted to like this place. I really love Döner. Unfortunately this was the most bland version I've ever had. The chicken cuts themselves were good, but there was almost no seasoning or flavor at all. The sauce tasted basically like plain mayo with no herbs or punch, and the bread didn't have the fresh taste or texture I'm used to with proper Döner. For context, I've had Döner many times in Berlin and Munich, so I know how vibrant and flavorful it can be. This just missed the mark completely. I'm not asking for a refund or a call the people here were very nice, and this is not personal I simply hope management takes this feedback seriously. With better seasoning, sauce and flavor this could be so much better. read more

Friendly, great yummy sandwiches, love to support local businesses , convenient, good prices

I live nearby, but it took me several months to finally visit because I wasn't quite sure what to expect and it seemed a little expensive. Glad I finally made it. I got the chicken doner sandwich and fries, both where delicious. The pictures don't do a good job conveying how big the sandwich is. That, along with the quality of ingredients and labor that went into making it justify the price. The fries were also a surprise -- normally crinkle cut fries are just kind of meh, but these were crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside and well-seasoned without being too salty. The portion was also generous. The person working was friendly and efficient, but very busy. I came a little before noon mid week and it looked like he was the only one there. That meant it took a bit to get my order, but it wasn't that bad. He also acknowledged and apologized for the wait, which goes a long way in my book. Overall great experience and I'll definitely be adding to my regular rotation. read more

10/10. They've got delicious doner wraps or sandwiches. $9.99 lunch special is insane!

I'm from Frankfurt, so I used to eat döner kebabs all the time. I really loved that the meat actually tasted like what I had back in Germany. The only downside was that there wasn't enough yogurt sauce, but if you want a glimpse of authentic German döner, this is the place to go. read more

Under new management... first German "sandwich" I've had. Had the beef and chicken sandwich with an order of crinkle fries to go. It was $45 dollars. Let me repeat IT was $45 dollars. That's my take away. read more

Fries were crispy and a great seasoning salt and a can coke. All hust $9.99 They're a Mediterranean & German mix. Mix plates and wraps! Falafel! As well as great beef and pork sausage!

The service was wonderful and so is the food! I really enjoyed the beef sandwich and the falafel wrap was good. I think next time I'll Get extra sauce for the falafel but so far everything I've tried is worth returning for! read more

Doner is legit and what I love going to Europe for. Although I can't fully compare it exactly bc I didn't eat theirs at 2 am and slightly inebriated. I got the mix sandwich and might ask for a little extra sauce on the side. It's prob a takeout only as it's pretty warm inside the restaurant bc of the cooking read more

Absolutely loved this spot! The meat was freshly shaved, and the bread was soft and warm.thanks we'll come back soon

friendly staff and the food hits different 100% i recommend this place to anyone in the area! Beef sandwiches is poppin

Got curious when I read a sign that said German sandwiches I have never had a German sandwich doner and wraps so I decided to stop in and grab me one when I walked in I was greeted by two very friendly guys with smiles already loved the hospitality then I looked at the menu not knowing what to expect I ordered the beef wrap the gentleman at the cashier told me it would take about 15 mins I guess they were making a fresh batch I told them I still wanted beef and I'll wait a short while later my order was ready and this sandwich was huge I'm a 300lb guy and that one sandwich filled me up it was so flavorful and the meat was very tender tasted just like a shawarma wrap I would definitely come back read more

Suuuper impressed with this place. The girlfriend and I got the mixed plate. Both the chicken and the beef are very well seasoned and go great with the salad. The star of the show is the fries! Incredibly delicious, fresh and super crispy crinkle fries. Very friendly staff. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend. read more

I ordered the Beef sandwich. Coming from Germany I consider the Doner Kebab a Holy sandwich. Unfortunately the sandwich I received here was not very good. Which is unfortunate because I was so hyped for this place. The meat was bland, dry, and flavorless. For $16.50 I expected better than this. There's a place in West Hollywood called BERLINS that has an actual delicious sandwich. read more

The gentlemen who ran this place were extremely kind. I think it's a family own business..not sure. I wanted to make sure I helped them by adding the menu to their yelp. The sandwiches were delicious. They are a bit different than your traditional Middle Eastern shawerma but definitely worth it. The bread was so fresh n perfectly crunchy on the outside n soft on the inside. They have a delicious slaw inside and you can definitely taste the garlic in the best way possible. I'm picky about shawerma style meat but this was perfectly clean meat without tough fatty pieces that you can't chew and have to remove the way I do with other restaurants. You should try it. I loved it! read more

We got to Germany a lot and Döner is possibly my favorite thing to eat over there, so my head exploded when I saw their grand opening sign! I tried the mixed sandwich and it was super-delicious: the bread has a wonderful crunch to it and, even tho' I left thinking "do I need condiments?", it was perfectly sauced. The sandwich version could be shared by two people but I starved myself yesterday so I ate the whole things myself (along with a nice Helles at a nearby brewery). Prost! read more

I've never encountered a Döner spot in the U.S. that I didn't give a shot. It's tough to find anything like the ones in Germany, but this one is the best and most authentic I've had. Can't recommend it enough. read more

Great Food. Great Guys. Definitely recommend try their beef Doner Sandwich in a bread.

Frankfurter guys. They don't sell hot dogs. So I ordered a sausage. Imagine a Slim Jim from a 7-11 that closed in 2005. For 15 times the cost of a Costco Hot Dog (by weight). Earns a WTF on my ratings scale read more

Absolutely loved this place! The chicken was perfectly cooked--The seasoning was on point, and you can tell they take pride in what they serve. The staff was friendly, service was quick, and the place was clean and welcoming. Definitely coming back. Highly recommend to anyone craving quality chicken! BEEF IS ALSO GOOD ONE read more

On a hot and humid day, I was reading a book outside to my kids while waiting for our laundry to be done at the nearby laundromat. A very nice gentleman from Frankfurter Guys saw us in the covered patio and brought us 3 bottles of ice cold water. That was very kind and much appreciated. We didn't get a chance to dine there right after, but will certainly come back to try the falafel and doner sandwiches since they were so generous and thoughtful. Everything looks delicious! read more

The Frankfurter Guys really impressed me just recently. I think it got better. The beef was fresh and moist. Look like they put more fat atop the spit. The orders came out quick. Best sandwich I've had from them so far. Of course the guys are super nice and always happy to see you. read more

Food was delicious, felt like we were back in Frankfurt. Husband ordered the bratwurst & I ordered a beef wrap - both flavorful & tasty. Can't wait to come back to try the other items on the menu. The place itself is small & quaint with a handful of tables, good House music playing to add to the Frankfurt vibes. Lastly, the customer service is stellar - extremely friendly & welcoming staff. We will definitely be back! read more

My husband and I have been meaning to check this place out, and we are certainly glad we did. The great staff there told us all about the doner sandwiches, with which we were unfamiliar. We had the chicken sandwich, and it did not disappoint. The bread, made specially for them, is a German-style pocket, which holds up so much better than the average pita wrap. It has a light and crispy crunch which makes the sandwich very unique. We can't wait to go back and try out their other menu items, including German sausages! The staff was very informative and the place was clean and inviting. read more
