A classic staple BBQ in the Pasadena area!…read more GREAT HAPPY HOUR. From 3pm-5:30pm Mon- Friday! The have a fantastic happy hour with half off some of their drinks and half off certain appetizers and entrees (check thier website!). Their corn bread is a must with thier iconic japelpeno jam spread (though its not included on thier happy hour). They have great sides and appetizers, and haven't had one I didn't like! Their baby back, spare ribs, and brisket are fantastic with sauces on the side if you wanted to more BBQ sauce to your BBQ meat! Though in my opinion, I don't need it usually, as the meats are already so flavorful as is! I'd say its great for groups, though a bit pricy, but boy is this good, hearty, fall of the bone, BBQ! The servers have always been great and kind and even when we were celebrating a birthday last visit, they brought out a icecream Sundae with a candle! Very sweet! I talked to a man at the South Pasadena museum and told us that Gus's is the oldest BBQ establishment in California, serving hungry patrons since 1946. They haven't been in business in over 70 years for nothing! Thought it's been a long time, the place is still well maintained and updated so it still is nice and clean, but still keeping its historic core. Come by this meaty institution for their renowned classic American barbaque, with great libations, great food and amazing service with tasty history!

GELO is one of the best servers I have had! He was so attentive and accommodating and his bright personality made our day. Bonchon variety is abundant but I really just wanted cucumber and kimchi. KIMCHI wasn't my favorite but decent. STEAMED EGG and KIMCHI SOUP side by side was also a solid combo. Dip the egg in the soup for the true Korean approved experience. The TOFU SOUP had a lot of soft tofu but the broth was just ok. Great sides to the meat and I'd honestly get them again. Go to AYCE Korean BBQ spot for the area get pretty busy!

We are returning customers, last time we gave them grace but this time we are even more Extremely…read moredisappointed. After being seated, we waited a long time before anyone came to our table to take care of us. Although our server seemed to be trying his best, the overall service still fell far below expectations. Rarely checked on us throughout the meal, our grill was changed once, and never came by to offer drink refills. The food quality has also gone downhill. The rice cup portions are drastically smaller than they used to be, and the meat quality was poor. It feels like the restaurant's overall operation and standards have really declined. For the price, this experience was unacceptable, and unfortunately we won't be returning. I don't recommend it at all!!!!!!

I am disabled…read more DoorDash delivered an unacceptable order that I had to dispose of last night as it was inedible. I had spinal surgery and the incision became infected. Besides the AB's, it calls for uber doses of protein for healing. The order was all protein. I had to throw it all away and went to bed hungry. I called and spoke to Miguel and Polita, the manager, this afternoon at HC. Not only was Polita incredibly gracious and apologetic, she and Miguel made good and bagged up my protein for tonight - with a few extras to make me smile through the pain. When I showed up with my walker - they were all smiles, love and gratitude to help someone in need. And, peeps, the grub was awesome. Probably 'cuz of all the love. This town can be pretty selfish - but these two young'uns showed up for the future. Amen!

We are visiting Santa Monica from Palm Springs and wanted to have good barbecue. After doing the…read moreresearch in Santa Monica, Holy Cow Barbecue was the restaurant we wanted to try. Unfortunately, when we got there, we were turns away by the cashier. We got to the restaurant between 820 and 8:25 PM. knowing the restaurant closes at 9 PM, which we felt there was enough time. Went we decided what we wanted to eat, the cashier said we can only take out and not sit in the dining room. We were so upset because we drove 20 minutes out of our way to eat there. There was nothing posted about not being able to eat in the dining room after 830PM. This is a very bad business practice and the owner should talk to their employees about turning away guests. This review represents our experience trying to get a meal at Holy Cow, not on the food because we never had the opportunity to eat there. By the way there were several table occupied by guests eating. Very frustrating!!

The meat was tender, juicy, delicious! Especially the plain brisket This place also passes the kbbq kimchi test! If you go to a korean restaurant and they have good kimchi, that's how you know their food is worth experiencing. Spicy, sour, salty; I loved it! The service was great as well! We received some complimentary rice cakes and the waitress we had checked on us often :) Some delicious items I had: Bulgogi Brisket, plain brisket, SEASONED SIRLOIN (heavy on this), and the rice. I prefer my kimchi stew more sour than salty so this place's kimchi stew was okay but I can see how people would like it! Lastly, the decor is very interesting! Worth taking pictures and I appreciate how the robot bringing food didn't sing a song every time.
