Definitely gave off hole in the wall diner vibes with numerous tin and wooden signs adorning the walls of this very small establishment. We tried the pork chops and eggs, which were surprisingly moist even though they appeared deep fried. French toast was typical but the bannana bread was fantastic. The menu had typical breakfast fare with nothing really unique. read more

What you see is what you get! A classic neighborhood American style diner. I came on a Monday mid morning so there was no wait but the restaurant was still busy. The food came quickly and was pretty flavorful. Nice big portions with a no fuss menu and fair prices. Not too many vegan options which is rare for the LA area but not a problem for me! I definitely want to come back for lunch. read more

Came for a midweek breakfast gathering with old friends. Arrived at 9 and they immediately sat us at a table for five. The service was great. I enjoyed the Reyn special -- 2 eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and banana bread. Way more than I could finish. The banana bread is really good. Others ordered the California omelet which looked great and was served with beautiful fruit. Another friend was delighted to order a heaping bowl full grits. Good food, excellent service, in a simple diner atmosphere. I would definitely return. read more

We were just seated. Spanish was necessary to order a drink. No problemo. The menu looks like a typical Mexican breakfast style. I ordered eggs with chorizo. The interior is fine. Staff is kind. For a first of many breakfasts in Pasadena, it's a good start :) read more

With a 4.2-star rating, I had high expectations for Reyn, but the experience was just average. Our table ordered chicken fried steak, chocolate chip pancakes, and banana pancakes. Unfortunately, the pancakes went mostly untouched, and the orange juice tasted stale. For a place with such a high rating, I was expecting something a bit more special, especially considering the standout experiences at places like Waypoint Cafe in Oxnard. While Reyn is a solid local spot with average service, it's more of a casual, budget-friendly diner compared to others in the area. If you're after a more affordable option than places like Denny's, it fits the bill. The one thing that really stood out was the banana bread, which was delicious and definitely worth trying. read more

Just an amazing place for our family. The corn beef hash has to be my favorite. The service and vibe are spectacular.

Excellent diner food and service. Chill atmosphere, diverse clientele. We had pancakes, omelette, French toast, all great. Banana Bread is their specialty and lives up to the hype! read more

This place is a little hidden gem in Pasadena. I've been coming here for years and I will keep coming back. This place has a straight up old school diner vibe. The waitress's are super sweet and totally efficient. The food is as great as the wait staff. They have this most amazing tasting banana bread that is to die for. It's a huge piece of banana bread that's moist and warm and super yummy with some butter on it. You can get a piece of it with almost any entree or you can get it a la carte. There was a waitlist of this place on a Tuesday morning at 10:30. That's how you know how good and popular this place is. Coffee good, pricing good, everything about The Reyn is amazing!! Don't miss out, and check it out for yourself. read more

They don't take reservations, which I already knew and willing to wait for a table. Our party of 4 waited about 40 minutes to be seated. I again ordered tbe chorizo & eggs plate with home fries. I was very pleased. My husband had the French toast. He said he'd order it again. My mother in law had the waffle and shared the bacon & eggs breakfast with her husband. Both of them enjoyed their food and took home leftovers. The server was friendly and very efficient. The place was clean and the food arrived hot & quickly. We'll be back. read more

First time here-a bit disappointing. They have great options for different combinations of plates, I got exactly what I wanted very easily. BUT they use spray "butter" this makes me sad because it completely overpowers all other flavor and makes everything taste like movie theater butter. That's probably a personal preference but it makes a really big difference to me. I will not be returning because of that point alone. I do love the classic American diner feel, we were sat fairly quickly with the wait which is nice in theory but it also means they're getting people in and out as quickly as possible. We were never checked on to ask how we were doing, when our server glanced at our table she looked at our plates, not at me. I ordered a strawberry lemonade but never received it, and never had the chance to ask for it before she brought the bill. You go up to a register to pay, I asked them to take the lemonade off because I never received it, easy. But then the tip options were 18%, 20% and 22%. I've worked in the restaurant industry my entire life. I believe everyone working there deserves to be paid well as they're absolutely working hard but tipping is for great service and personable connection, unfortunately this place lacks that touch. read more

I dislike they won't let me bring my coffee bought from Philz inside even though I told them I'd buy a cup of their coffee too. I suppose they just want to keep their rule of no outside food simple. Other than that, I do go here often for breakfast with a friend. I like the atmosphere & the omelettes are good. My kids loved their pancake dish. Service is typically pretty good. read more

Great service and tasty food for the win! I had the chili fries and the fried chicken salad. The fries were delicious and the salad was still fresh and appetizing the next day. Definitely worth a visit at least once. read more

You are greeted when you walk in. The sign in sheet is in the back, which is outside the restaurant. We had a table within 15 minutes. As soon as our table was ready the beverages were served. The service is great and attentive. Once ordered the food came within a short time. Looking around the signs and pictures on all the walls were entertaining. The food looks and tastes fresh. The presentation is beautiful. I am bringing others next time. read more

Love stopping by here for breakfast. Always satisfies. Hashbrowns made right, bacon crispy, and diner coffee, yum! First time trying the banana bread and I have no complaints. Minimal wait on a Sunday around 9am; small seating area but worth the wait for the food and prices. Will be back again for both! read more

Best service I've experienced in a long time! Food was delicious, friendly and efficient staff. Highly recommend this place!

Limited parking spaces on Lake, typically wait doesn't get too bad but when it's packed it definitely feels very, very crowded. Very average diner feel but with phenomenal banana bread. Mediocre coffee and standard breakfast items. Their waffle looked good but I didn't get to try it. Come with a few people and split a banana loaf! read more

Nothing fancy. Old fashioned, diner style breakfast at a reasonable price. What's not to like?

We are from Texas and found this gem! The breakfast was perfect. Even though I got a basic breakfast with eggs and bacon, it was delicious. Our favorite part was our server!! She was such a joy. We will definitely be back! read more

The food was amazing. Service was quick and amazing!! Perfect pit stop on our way to San Diego

Great little diner for breakfast and very reasonably priced. BUSY too. I ordered the spinach, bacon, and Swiss omelette (added onions) - made it with egg whites - and hash browns. I was given the choice of toast or homemade banana bread. No brainer. The piece I got was thick with crispy sides and a very moist and tender crumb. My omelette was good and hash browns perfectly crisp on the outside. Things to know: - I went in through the back from the parking lot - parking in the back was limited because they were busy - put your name on the list and be patient til you're called - food is plentiful and can be shared - loaf of banana bread is available for purchase - limited counter seating - some outdoor seating but just a few tables - take out is popular, counter had stacks of orders waiting to be picked up (I don't know if any of those orders were for Doordash and the like though) - very welcoming, friendly, and attentive staff Best thing is, this place has reasonably priced offerings. I'll definitely be coming back. read more

Best service we've had in a long while! Even though they were getting slammed, servers were very responsive and outstanding! Food was great also. I had a simple breakfast plate which was great and the wife had the chicken fried steak sandwich which was delicious! read more

What you would expect from a western breakfast diner. The complaints I have is that the egg I ordered sunny side up was served disgustingly raw. Like the yolk was raw and it is as if the chef, of a breakfast diner, had no experience making eggs sunny side up. I overpaid for raw eggs and mediocre, at best, service. read more

My experience is based on service alone. We initially had a party of five, but one member of our party was delayed due to traffic. So 4/5 of us decided to sit as her arrival time had been significantly delayed. We decided to place a "to go" for the fifth person. We asked if, upon her arrival, she could wait with us until the order was ready, but the owner declined our request. We were told that since we were already seated as a party of four, she could not sit with us once she arrived, not even to wait briefly for a "to go" order. The owner explained that she would have to sign in on the list and wait to be called before she could enter the restaurant. In my opinion, the owner's behavior was extremely rude and harsh. We were fully aware of the restaurant's policy, and I totally understand the need to manage the movement of guests to keep the restaurant running smoothly, but "bullying" tactics towards customers are not helpful, and his "gatekeeper" mentality was uncalled for. Not only did he deny our request to allow her to wait with us until her order was ready, but he intentionally proceeded to the waiting list area so that he could personally deny her entry into the restaurant. The food is decent, but the owner's aggressive behaviors make the experience unpleasant and not worth the visit. read more

My friend took me here for breakfast on Monday. What a gem. Very good food. I ordered the bacon spinach swiss omelette and my friend ordered a strawberry waffle combo! I took pics of the food and thought I uploaded them before deleting from my phone. (Oops I guess they didn't upload ) They haven't raised their prices like everyone else yet so I am definitely going back soon again! Great friendly service. The server came by often to refill our coffee. Give them a try! You can't beat the quality and the price here! read more

This is a really solid place for comforting, traditional diner food at a good price. The food came out really fast and our waiter was friendly and responsive. This place definitely has that quiet, lazy Sunday feel. Come here for good, non-pretentious diner food. Hash browns were nice and crispy on the top and soft in the middle, as they should be. Boyfriend and I both enjoyed our meals! We will definitely be back. read more

This is small diner vibe with great food. They do have a wait time since it's a small space, but the wait is not too long. I would not recommend for large parties though. I got the Reyn rancheros; which was country styled potatoes with sunny side up eggs topped with hash browns and pico de gallo with sour cream and avocados! It was delicious it also came with banana bread which I had to take home because I was stuffed. Overall great diner with friendly staff and great food. Would definitely go back. read more

The wait does get extensive here, we came around 12 and waited for half hour. This restaurant is like a diner out of the 80s which is cool to see. Our attendant was helpful and through! Overall, good quality, a little simple for my taste. But glad we tried this local restaurant finally! We ordered - 2 breakfast burrito - vegetarian omelette (not pictured) - stack of chocolate chip pancakes read more

First of all, I loved the fact that I was able to place myself in the waiting using the Yelp app. We timed out arrival just right. We got called and started immediately after arriving and checking in with the host. I think the app saved us a good 15+ minutes wait time. As we were driving over, I already knew what I was getting... The pictures and reviews of the French Toast looked good enough to be my pick. We got different variations of French Toasts. The strawberry and whipped cream version was much more appealing to the eyes, but I stuck with the plain old dusted powdered sugar... And it was excellent. The coffees were served immediately, which was great. It was good coffee although it wasn't a dark roast which I prefer, but it had just enough flavor to satisfy me. The food was served quickly and although they weren't the best French Toast I've had, they were good. The service was on the spot! The server checked back to make sure we had everything we needed, and refilled out coffee before running out it getting cold. The exterior and the atmosphere of the restaurant made me think, "a nice mom and pop shop" but when I was able to focus closer, the restaurant was running extremely efficient with great management and high tech operational systems. They just kept that Mom and Pop shop look and feel to a highly efficient business. I would definitely come back! read more

Shits gone way down hill. Pre pandemic this was my weekly spot. The old white lady server knew my whole family. The food was fantastic. Showed up and put our name on the list for an outdoor table for 5. It was a nice day so let's do breakfast outside, there was no wait we were the first on the list. Old white lady server showed up looked at the list and told us to wait even though there was an empty table sitting there. Ok fine, maybe she had to wash it down we can wait a few. Then as she is gone another group showed up and just sat down at the table. I told them there was a list, then the old white lady came out and when I talked to her she said "don't worry I'll just sit you inside". When I said that's not what we asked for she pretended not to hear me and just walked away. We sit down and I ask for the manager and our table became a ghost town for 5 min until I physically got up and asked for help. Then I was told the manager was not there today. Long story short kids were very hungry and so we just ate here. What made this stop even more funny was that I had a guy from another table with his family ask if she's "like that with everyone"... and all I could say was "I guess so now, but she used to be nice." Food is now just OK, but if you tack on the poor service experience it's not really worth coming here. read more
