What has happen to quality?? Like seriously been coming here for a long time years back I had a horrible experience and I thought by now maybe things had changed unfortunately they haven't. They just gotten worse now they are in such a hurry that the potatoes in the burrito were totally uncooked not OK. Super sad$11 burrito isn't always a good deal! Lucky boys I don't know what happened to the quality of your food but it's gone to the shitter read more

Lucky Boy - Raw potatoes in my breakfast burrito what is really going on - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

Being a customer of Lucky Boys for 30+ years, you count on people doing their job, this is not the case at this location. Their chili cheese fries do not taste the same as their location on Arroyo. We were disappointed and dissatisfied with what we were served. The cheese was different and the chili was old and clumpy. We called and spoke with Ruben and he said to bring the receipt and we could get a refund or replacement of something else, since we were not in the area to return the food. He told us to throw it away. Fast forward to last Monday, we went in and spoke to Alfredo, we explained the situation and before we finished our first sentence he was shaking his head no. He asked where were the chili cheese fries, if he had listened he would of known that we were told to toss them since we were no longer in the area. At one point while we were trying to explain again that we want a refund, he turned his back and walked away. He told us to call the owner named John. Alfredo needs to have better customer skills and chose to handle this situation very poorly. You will lose this long time customer just on his disrespectful nature alone. Forget about the $6.47 refund. Again we as customers count on employees to do their job. This was not the case. read more

I am always on the look for a great breakfast burrito place and Lucky Boy was the perfect find for me. They had many choices for burritos, and you can also add any additional add-ons if desired. I personally got the Supreme Breakfast Burrito and it was awesome. To be fair, it's hard to really not make a carne asada, egg, cheese, & sour cream burrito taste bad, but what makes them stand out is their value. They gave me a HUUUUGE burrito, that only costed me about $10. Most other places that would serve something this good and at that size, would easily charge $13+ for it. Their service also is very speedy and very friendly. Even though their food was amazing, I do have one problem to note. I did come for dine in, which is self seating, but most, maybe even all, tables were very dirty/messy. All of them either had wrappers, crumbs, etc on every table/seat. Unless I came at a bad time, I do think they can improve on having staff clean their dine-in area more frequently/consistently. read more

Lucky Boy - Supreme Breakfast Burrito - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

Best breakfast burritos in ALL of Southern California. A must-have! Lucky Boy is a Pasadena tradition that will keep you coming back for more. As the former business editor of the Pasadena Star-News, I give Lucky Boy my highest rating, five out of five stars! read more

My breakfast burrito absolutely delicious. One trick I learned from a friend, dip your burrito in their ranch dressing. Sounds so weird but it's amazing, just try it. Service was fast, food came really quick. Inside is like an old fast food diner, nothing fancy. Tables creek and stuff when someone sits down at the booth next to you but who cares? You don't come here for fine dining, you come here for really delicious burritos and stuff. read more

Lucky Boy - Spicy breakfast burrito dipped in ranch dressing is THE BEST!!! - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

The lady at the front had an attitude... from the moment I walked up to the counter. Um, sorry for coming but can I get a burger? It made me uncomfortable. Burger... was trash. It threw it in the garbage. The fries were barely cooked. The store itself was dirty. The ranch... was great but that's about it. I wasn't expecting the world... but a classic burger joint meal. Wouldn't go back. read more

Horrible customer service. I ordered a sandwich and I am allergic to lettuce. He gives a sandwich with extra lettuce. Even on the receipt it says no lettuce. I told them this and they remade my sandwich. Then they wouldn't give me the new sandwich unless I gave them the old one. The worker was VERY rude, and was staring at our party while we're eating. I cannot believe this! read more

Ive been coming to lucky boys for over 20 years. I purchased a few items on 9/9/23 around 8:15am. There was a Latino lady with curly hair at the register who gave me major attitude will I was ordering my food. While I waited for my food multiple customers came in and she did the same to them. Once I received my order, I requested an additional ranch sauce and she once again gave me attitude. I told her I was willing to pay for it. I did asked why she was charging me because in the pass I gotten one ranch with my breakfast burrito for free. If policy has change she could have explained it without her attitude. This is so unprofessional and she need some customer service training or replace her with a person who actually wants to work and provide proper service. I will be contacting the owner on Monday morning. This is not the first time she's given Attitude to me or my wife. This needs to stop. read more

I ordered a hamburger fries a pastrami and a drink. The hamburger was so delicious that I wanted another burger. The fries were fries. The drink the same. The pastrami was a bit dry. It needed the super jus to dip it in. It was good. read more

I don't take how good their food is....there customer service is horrible. It's been 8 min that I have been place on hold. My friend went in and got their food and I still on hold. Give your self at least 10 min for them take your order. read more

Classic spot. The portions are great size. Lots of shareable options. Nothing crazy just simple old school burger joint

Once again here is my NEW review and once againI I got horrible customer service from an older lady with curly hair. She was rude right from the beginning, she was even rude to a customer that was ordering before me. The customer was just asking for hot water and she answered her very rudely. She then took our order and we greeted her with a Good morning and all we got in return was attitude. We ordered two items one which was a breakfast burrito.. We then asked her to add an extra ranch, which we know we have to pay extra. Well, once our order was up, my husband, went and checked to make sure everything was in the bag, and he found only one ranch. So he spoke to the lady that took our order and said to her oh you forgot the extra ranch I paid for. She then answers and said you have to pay for another one. My husband then said oh doesn't one come already with the burrito? And she then said no you have to pay for them and he said I go to the other Lucky boy establishment and that doesn't happened there. Her responds was extremely rude and very unprofessional. She was like well that is there and this is here in Spanish. Her attitude was very uncalled for, she needs to check that attitude at the door. All she needed to say was unfortunately the policies have changed and that would have been it. I advise the owner to hire someone with Customer Service experience because no one needs to be getting attitude. read more

Ok, I have had my mind changed! LUCKY BOY, (Walnut location) - hands down, you guys have the best/ better breakfast burrito in town! $10 for a BB with both bacon and sausage, 3 eggs plus a healthy heap of hash browns + cheese! Don't forget their delicious salsa! This will fill you up, might even have to save the rest for later. Disclaimer- you may feel sleepy /itis/ food coma after consuming this beastly burrito. read more

Heard the breakfast burritos were amazing. Went to get one for my husband and saw a homeless guy walk around the restaurant, go outside, dig through the trash, come back with a dirty plastic empty Gatorade and a paper cup, and then help himself to the fountain drinks. He literally stood there, drank, refilled them, and gave death stares to everyone. I was absolutely disgusted and would never return. Use the soda fountain at your own risk, employees did nothing. Grounds and inside of restaurant are not clean. I should have known better. Breakfast burrito was basically just big, not even good. Sorry for the hate. read more

My husband brought home the breakfast sandwich with sausage and it was one of the most delicious things I've ever ate in my entire life. It looked just as good as it tasted with it's golden crispy buttered toast, ooey gooey american cheese and plenty of juicy savory sausages. So simple, so sinful, so divine Super affordable too! PS: This sandwich is perfect to share with another person because it's pretty heavy/hearty/greasy/guilty. Eating the whole sandwich would be way too overboard in my opinion read more

Great fast service. I love their veggie breakfast burrito, had large chunks of avocado which was very fresh. Includes hashbrown, Cheddar cheese, avocado. Huge and I was full after eating half and saved the other half for lunch. They open early so it's perfect for breakfast . Plenty of parking. I wish they had a drive thru. I also like how they give you complimentary yellow chili peppers and also red salsa. I don't know the cashier but she is very friendly and quick. Love it . Definitely am returning often and will recommend to others. Great food and great ambiance. I also like how it is affordable even though it is located in Pasadena where everything is quite pricey. You get the bang for your buck. Also nice because there are vegetarian and meat options. I have try to try their other items so I'm excited for that. Side note: I like how they have restrooms that are gender neutral, first time seeing this. read more

Lucky Boy - Great bathroom! - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

Great food fast service huge menu. Best zucchini fries around. Only thing I don't recommend is the tuna melt as the tuna salad comes cold.

I have gone to this location every since their opening. I guess I didn't write a review for this place so that it would not get as crowded as the Arroyo Parkway location. Lucky Boy is known for their Bacon Breakfast Burritos. The price has gone up, but that is expected. I'm happy that they survived the pandemic. There were numerous reviews that asked why people thought that this place had the best breakfast burritos. They have been around for a long time, and they serve their breakfast burritos all day and night long. Their previous sauce was the reason why I would go to Lucky Boy, plus they were big enough for 2 people. Their breakfast burritos is 5 stars, but their new sauce is just 3 stars. It is not bad, but it is not as good as their original sauce. I have always thought their breakfast burritos were an easy 5 stars, but they changed their sauce. I am not as big of a fan as I once was. I'll definitely order their breakfast burrito again, but I will no longer go out of my way for it. Why did they fix something that was not broken? read more

Up until recently the staff here has been great but know the younger cashiers seem to have attitude. As if they are bothered for having to work. The food is always amazing. read more

Great news is that you'll cure your case of hanger at this place... just as anyone would expect from Lucky Boys. You won't come here for a healthy, green veggie meal, but you'll get the satisfaction you were craving for. There are a lot of great options in this area though if you're looking for that nice heavy satisfaction or even a nice flavor-packed breakfast burrito. I can tell you now that you get quantity, but that's about it. I got the breakfast burrito today for about $12. I get it. inflation hit hard. but a tortilla, cheese, a few bacon strips, eggs, and potato hash and it's $12? Not so sure about that. I can't give a solid recommendation to friends and others about this place bc I know most might not be happy paying for what they get. And tbh there are some better options around here w that price point. Regardless I still give a 3 star bc the burrito was indeed large and I still ended up satisfying my hanger. read more

If you're into breakfast burritos, you know Lucky Boy. Was put onto this place by a friend so long ago and can't count how many times I've been back. There's always a line here, but they're cranking these things out so quickly and consistently that the wait is never long. They have massive burritos that are consistently tasty and sizable. If you're looking for a place where you KNOW that you'll get the same thing every time, this is one of the few (In-N-Out is one of the others). The employees are always energetic and the place lively. I can see why this place has been a staple in the community and will probably continue for decades (or for the rest of time ;P ) They do have their own dedicated parking lot, however with the amount of visitors they get it fills up quickly and parking can be an issue. Even with this (and I absolutely hate worrying about parking spots), I don't hesitate to visit again and again. Make this your weekly spot, and prepare for a nap after your meal! *Food coma incoming* read more

Reviews for me are few and far between. I write them only when I minimally feel compelled to give a 5 star review( which is most of my reviews) or a one star review like this one when I feel others may benefit from my really bad experience. First time at Lucky Boy Walnut. - Walked in Saturday morning for a BFast Burrito. - Lots of customers ( which always gives me Joy) - Premises was filthy. Ground was Dirty. Someone missed dumping their Bfast in trash can and it was all Over the ground in front of back entry. First impressions were not good - Ordered Veggie Bfst burrito substitute cheese for more hash brown - Noticed after I paid that I was charged $1.55 for the substitution. No where on menu did it say up charge for more hash browns. - Told young man at counter "would have been nice to know" he smiled and said "yah". - 1/2 way through burrito bit into something real hard ( I kept it don't ask why) which looks like where a avocado is attached to stem. - Threw burrito away $14 down the drain - Seriously how do you get Bfast wrong? Never going back. If you want sloppy food and sloppy service give it a try and be warned that if it goes for you the way it did for me it's not gonna be good and you'll never go back. read more

Lucky Boy - This came out of burrito - Fast Food Near Me - Pasadena, California

Food was okay, burgers are pretty big but over all food was very dry. There was limited seating and bathroom was locked whole time. Seated is minimal for 4 people so my family of 6 had to eat in separate tables. Parking was tight as it's in a busy area read more

Went to the Walnut location. It was much cleaner. I think the burger was better than the Arroyo which is closer. read more

My fiancé grew up eating these burritos, so I was thrilled when I could finally try what he has been raving about all of these years. We came mid day on a Sunday and only had to wait about 10 minutes to order, get our burrito to go, and eat it. It's funny, even mid day, most of the patrons are still eating breakfast burritos. I hear they also spin a pretty good milkshake (classic flavors only- no mint chip). What I initially noticed about this burrito was how heavy it was, I mean it was at least 1.5 pounds. I'm glad we decided to split it! Anyways, the burrito was so heavy because it was packed with hash browns. There was minimal bacon and egg. This burrito definitely needed some salsa to add flavor and moisture. The tortilla was really good though. All in all, one and done for me. My fiancé agrees, maybe we just went on an off day as he says this wasn't the burrito he was used to. read more

Absolutely love their huge and delicious breakfast burritos. I always request they add frijoles in the bacon and egg monstrosity! I usually can not finish all of it, so I save the other half for the next day's breakfast! read more

If breakfast burritos are your favorite thing in the world, like me, this is THE best place to go. If you have ever been to the Lucky Boy on Arroyo, this place is just as good. The thing to get lucky boy are their famous breakfast burritos. You can get them with Bacon, Sausage, or Ham. I highly recommend the sausage and bacon. The burritos come loaded with bacon and sausage, the burritos are not super salty either, it's nicely balanced with the cheese and the hashbrowns inside. They are quick to be made and adding their salsa, just makes it my favorite thing in the world to eat. I have tried other things like pastrami chili cheese fries from this location, they are good but most definitely greasy. Pretty pricey as well, it was around 14 dollars for the pastrami chili cheese fries. If you have to ask me which location I would prefer? I would prefer the Arroyo one, mainly because it's open later than this one. This one also has a credit card minimum of 10 dollars which the other one does not. read more

Grew up with Lucky Boy across the street from the middle school I attended. Always great food. Enough to share with your friends! Now that I'm an older person, was elated to find this place exists in Pasadena. Still good. Still a lot of food. But thankful it's far enough away that I can't visit very often. Lol read more

On a Sunday morning in March, my sister and I wanted to try Lucky boy 2nd location. It was easy to find and park. There was already few people waiting for their food. The wait time for a basic egg and bacon burrito was short. While waiting, they have nice mural and history of their walls. My sister and I shared a burrito and it came with salsa. The burrito has lots of crispy bacon, eggs, and shredded hash brown. I really enjoyed the burrito. Next time I want to try their chili cheese fries and burgers. read more

HUGE breakfast burritos loaded with tons of meat and eggs and the perfect amount of cheese. Their salsa is smokey and delicious with the right amount of kick to it. If you're a sauce lover then ask for some ranch on the side ($0.50 extra). Their iced coffee is also not too shabby. The restaurant has a diner vibe to it. A good amount of parking is available and people are usually coming in and out for a quick bite to eat. Service is quick and easy to order! Affordable pricing so it's definitely budget friendly! read more

The food is good, especially the hamburgers, which are very similar to the ones we got when they first opened around 1968. The service is fast even when busy. You don't go there for the ambiance! . read more

I absolutely love lucky boy! This place is authentic American style food. No fake artisanal style bs, just good food on a hot plate. I've come here for years and they've always treated everyone the same. As promptly as possible with the great tastes. But this place is not for the faint of heart so if you're used to some boujee restaurant that meets your hype IG standard needs then this is not for you. If you're looking for a good meal, hearty portions and good times then this is your spot. Breakfast burrito is always good with any meat, always hot. Supreme burrito also fire, changing it up with sour cream inside. Chili cheese fries always fresh filling. Burgers are monsters! Breakfast platter absolute killer. Onion rings that can stack up Empire State Building Corn dog, clutch. Gotta try more stuff but I always get a burrito. read more

Been coming to Lucky Boys' for a while now and always had a good meal. Their breakfast burrito is my go to and never disappoints.

Saw this place listed on facebook. Finally made my way over. Ordered the half pound angus burger and was not disappointed. The burger was flavorful. Have not had a hamburger this tasty in quite a long time. And the fries? Crisp on the outside and cooked perfectly. I plan on going back. And the prices? Not expensive at all. read more

Customer service is critical for me and Lucky Boy dropped the ball. Food has always been good when you are craving comfort cuisine but tonight just pissed me off. Ordered 65 dollars in burritos, burgers, and other food and saw they had a seasonal Horchata Milkshake. My daughter was with her friend whom we were getting food with and I ordered a large one on top of the order but asked if they could please put it in two cups instead of two people sharing one (especially with covid, germs, sharing, etc). They bring it to me and she literally say, "WE DON'T NORMALLY SPLIT DRINKS--DONT DO IT AGAIN" doing it in a condescending and scolding manner....WTF! I had to ask twice bc I couldn't believe they were serious about making such a big deal about splitting a milkshake in two cups--especially after dropping 65 dollars on all the food. Adding insult to injury, she asks what looks like the manager by her and he CONFIRMS that I should NOT do that again and it is NOT normally done and that it's their "rule"! REALLY!!?? Do you guys really have 500 people a day using up so many plastic cups because there is an epidemic of sharing???!! At that point, I forced them to give me an entire refund for all the food and there was NO apology, understanding, care, or concern about such a truly insignificant issue. They did not have a care in the world about it and just went on business as usual. Totally stupid rule when I was just trying to be safe for my daughter and her friend. Totally stupid rule. read more
