An easy and small place my friends and I went last month. We only ordered the 25 pieces chicken wings and onion rings. The size of both dishes were huge, especially onion rings! We ended up finishing them all (but we have four people and it's late night). I am not sure about the burgers or sandwiches, but I will definitely go back to have the wings or onion rings. read more

Go when Tigger is there! Great customer service and followed his advice and went with the lemon pepper wings. Good stuff! Tigger is the man. Trust me. One extra star for taste and service. They are open late for all you paritiers! Cheers! Tigger also understands how to serve a Hef as well...Lemon or orange? Love him!!! Great service. I go all the time! read more

I've always thought Hot WIngs Cafe has the best wings in LA. Better than Hogies n' wings, all those places. And their Pasadena location is no different than the one on Melrose. Delish! You may be paying around 75 cents apiece, but they're good! And to be honest, flavor-wise, the mild are the best. read more

Good wings. The mild is good and really the only degree of spiciness I can tolerate. Extra hot is good according to my wife. I used the Ranch dip and thought it was pretty good but I want to try blue cheese next time. The Iced tea is good as well. Beer is cheap for the LA area too. Friendly waitresses, quick seating and order taken were pluses as well. Refills and check were slow however. Nice clean eating area but the mens room was a mess with no paper towels or hand dryer. read more

Great wings!! When that other chain wing place tells you there is an hour wait leave and come here! I have tried hot, extra hot and suicide. Extra hot is the best! Yum! Great service and good for game night! read more

Have been coming here since high school! Can never go wrong with hot wings and some lemon pepper! The service is always around when you need it read more

Beware of the "Manager" tall white guy that stands around watching football while all the other waiters are sitting around texting in the back. Our order was taken pretty quick because we always get the same exact thing. Usually comes up to same price as always. Order came out quick. Ten Boneless Chicken and fries were both soggy, onion rings were good. We had tried one each to make sure it wasn't just our eyes deceiving us. Exactly what I thought it was gross. Sent back 8 boneless wings and all fries with the MANAGER. When it came back there were only 6 wings. As I told the waitress she cut me off saying that I had ate four the wings. I told her we didn't and she went to tell her manager that should have known that there was eight not six. Got the check and they still tried charging us for the ten wings. I told them to at least take two dollars off of check because of the wings we never received. He proceeded to charge everything separate that way he tried getting the money anyway. He proceeded to say we couldn't do math or read correctly. This is horrible. I can not believe you would let someone so rude work for your company. Hopefully Pasadena stops allowing this business to continue read more

Usually, I love the wings from Hot Wings Café. Today the wings were dry and over cooked. I had to soak them in water to eat them. The hot sauce and ranch dressing were delicious. read more

They have big and relatively cheap wings, and service is above average. I went there twice with friends and both times it wasn't too crowded. It's directly across the street from Hooters, but I'd rather be here than there... read more

The Glendale location is definitely better, the wings over here have NO meat on them whatsoever and the different levels of spiciness are different from the Glendale location. The service is way better at the Glendale location. read more

Food is great, but service is pretty crummy....our waitress was not very friendly. Hardly came by, we often had to chase her down for service. It made our visit really unpleasant. read more

Ive been to other Hot Wings Cafe. I was in Old Town tonight and decided to stop by for some curly fries and hot wings. It was good! The service was good! Overall it was the place to eat tonight... Loved it! read more

The wings tasted old, not much sauce is on them... Tiggr was entertaining. I'm not sure i'd go back for the wings though. My friend had a steak sandwich that he claimed was really good. Had some beers, did some people watching which was very entertaining. We kept getting interrupted by vagrants and some guy who kept singing the Santeria song. read more

Took the metro.from Chinatown to Pasadena to go to Central Park. The park was amazing but this place was not impressive. Wings were very small about $1 Each but very tiny. We got hot and lemon pepper. The hot was not hot but very mild. We also got a grilled chicken sandwich because they didn't have tuna. The chicken was dry. Overall it was a decent place to eat but I probably wouldn't go back. read more

Okay so in my opinion Hot Wings Cafe is way better than Buffalo Wild Wings or Wing Stop. Yeah there wings are a little smaller but they're delicious. The prices are decent too. read more

Hands down, the best Wings in Pasadena. The food there is great, my favorite is the 12pcs traditional wings with ranch, can't go wrong with that!! read more

We just stopped by and experienced THE WORST customer service ever! We walked out so quick because they would not accommodate our seats or the tv channel for the lakers! With having six TVs! In LA who would've wanna watch the lakers!!! Never again will I stop by here! read more

i would go here for lunch when i worked on colorado and every-now & then i place an order for pick-up my suggestion is hot wings (duh) & a chef salad tossed in ranch. great for someone on a protein diet. the girls that work there arent really waitresses but they bring your food and take your order. i dont know what it is but none of them ever seem like they give a shit. the owner is never really doing anything, some young armenian guy or something. its basically a in & out place. my suggestion is take it to go. read more

Loved it! Yummy hotwings- I had buffalo and garlic. Love the philly steak sandwich. Cool prices. Pet friendly.

I was up for the weekend and my friend is relatively new to the area and she decided to go out on a whim and suggest a good wing place. The location is in a prime spot as its next to all the clubs and bars. I got the 8 wing combo with curly fries. The wings and the curly fries were SO GOOD. What I like about them is that they had good beers on tap and I rarely drink beers but they had the shocktop raspberry on tap and it was refreshing. I recommend this place for people looking for good chicken wings, fries and beer. read more

Terrible service. My boyfriend and I went by on a late Sunday. It was not very busy. We were served drinks and told someone else would come by to get our food order. We waited, waited, and waited. My boyfriend finally went to the counter and asked to pay for our drinks as we were ready to leave. The girl behind the counter was clueless and unapologetic. We won't be returning to this place. read more

Pretty tasty!! My son was pretty happy...looks like we'll be back. A little pricey for a few wings, but very good...

Best wings in town! I also like the tenders buffalo style. If you like your wings crispy, order them 8 minutes cooked, X-Hot. That's how I love them! W/ extra ranch and curly fries. Great place to have group gatherings or just a small place to bring your family. Good sports atmosphere also! read more

Much better than the one in Glendale. Order Lemon Pepper, then instead of blue cheese get the extra hot sauce on the side.....The Lemon pepper's with hot sauce is the lick I'm telling you. One thing I like is that they aren't big ass A-Roided up Wings that look like drumsticks like u get at most wing places. I know the chickens are stuffed with hormones, I don't have to be reminded by Pterodactyl sized wings. Ask for them to cook them extra crispy, trust me. read more

I love this place! I only come to the Pasadena location to avoid seeing a bunch of people I don't want to see which go to the Glendale location but this place has never dissatisfied me in any way. The waitress's are great and the food is always great, very pleased! read more

Awesome wings. I'll give it 5 stars when the soda stops being flat.

It was alright a lot off my friends say they like it there but i didn't like it too much... the boneless wings were not that great only the bbq was good and the fries taste like powder. read more

Got the boneless wings.. They were mushy on the outside and inside.. I ordered 10, ate only 3, the last one had bits of bone in it.. It was gross. Giving this 2 stars only cause I liked the curly fries and cold beer read more

This is a great spot to have a great lunch. Always quick service, especially from Jayme the only waitress who is always there. The wings are really good and fresh. read more

I like the casual feel to this place, nothing better than some good wings with a couple of friends. Their curly fries perfectly crisp, burger 8/10, and wing are full of chicken. I would easily return to this place for some late night food when u want something and tasty. Waiters were superb very friendly and attentive. read more

I've gone to this place three times already and while their wings tastes pretty good, their service is so slow and rude. Last time I went there, I called the server to have my coke refilled, and she responded with "what!" She immediately caught herself and smiled, but still! I went there again two days ago and the service was even worse. No one came to our table to ask if everything was ok and it took them thirty minutes to get our fries out. And even when we got our fries, they were cold! read more

My first time got a taste of hot wings was at their first restaurant in melrose. And I thought why didn't they open branches other city. And finally they did. I know their wings will be popular. Their wings have a vinegar crisp taste that people are craving for. read more

Good food but the guy with the beard he is lazy lazy lazy... I can't believe they hired him... He must be doing it for free.. Used to have great service now they have crazy service incredible... read more

Sat here 7 min before anyone asked me anything. 1 waitress. Overwhelmed. She needs help.

I've been a fan of Hot Wings in Glendale for several years. I was excited to see them open in Pasadena & I tried them for the 1st time last night. However, it is likely my last visit. The wings were good, although Glendale's are superior. The service only came from the hard working young waitress who cleared all tables by herself, took all orders by herself, served all orders by herself & checked out most customers. All while the night manager focused on the soccer game. The only thing the night manager did was seat us, promise to return to wipe down the dirty table, yet never acknowledged us again. Where is the owners & general managers focus? Sincerely, Passing Pasadena & Still Going to Glendale. read more

i liked this place more that their Glendale location because it wasn't as BUSY. They have the same GREAT tasting wings, without the extra ppl around :) read more

Chicken wings taste good and are crispy, but they're a bit small compared to other places. Can't complain about the price. For $1 more, you can get a large order. Great service. Not too busy on Tuesday afternoons. read more

Excellent service. The hot flavored wings were small but delicious, the lemon pepper wings were also delicious. Carrots and celery were top notch. Water was superb. read more

My wife and I had the spicy chicken sandwich, and the 8 hot wing curly fries combo. Food was very bland, and tasteless. Wings are small and not a great variety of sauces, just like 3 different varieties of buffalo sauce, a bbq and a lemon pepper. The chicken in the sand which needed some type of seasoning, mushrooms were cooked to hell. Our bill was about 40 dollars for 8 wings, curly fries, a sand which and 2 drinks. The service was average, not the worst but no care in what they put out. Shame, the place has potential, would not recommend. read more

The wings were small & expensive. They tasted subpar. The fries were cold. They do not have a wing/fry combo that comes with a drink and their drinks are high priced. It is difficult to find parking (street parking on a busy street). We had to ask if our food was ready (it was) because the staff wasn't attentive. The pricing is different at each location & they do not honor their other locations prices. read more
