Food was great! I had a burger with a side salad, the husb had poutine and fish tacos and a beer. The husb got his items from the happy hour menu. We sat outside, it was a nice day to do so as it wasn't hot or cold. The weather was just right. Our waiter was helpful, he got us our discount from Toast for my birthday treat. Now, I did notice that other people that were having a birthday meal got a birthday sundae. I was not offered one. I didn't think that was cool. Sure, I got a discount, maybe that's why it wasn't offered? Not sure. Food was great, service was great, our waiter went beyond what was needed, but I just didn't like the fact that I wasn't offered a birthday sundae. I didn't feel valued as a customer or guest. read more

Very cool restaurant. We went here for a school fundraiser and had a short wait (it was a rather busy night!). Once seated, we were attended to immediately. Shout-out to our server for her quick and efficient service! We ordered the hot wings appertizer and they surprisingly lived up to their name. I then ordered a regular cheeseburger combo for my son, while I had the short ribs sandwich. I have to admit, the short ribs sandwich was much better than I thought it was going to be! It was super delicious. My son had the Oreo milkshake and he said it was great. I had the famous ice cream sundae and I'm glad I got the small size becaue it was rather big! My only complaint were the prices. I thought they were a wee bit expensive so this will be a treat, for sure. But I do recommend this place! read more

Met some friends for Sunday Brunch. Had been meaning to check Twohey's off the list. Overall..Not as good as I expected it to be. It was an extremely busy day. 45 min wait turned into an hour or longer. We had a large party of 10.We sat in a separate room of the side of the bar, which was kind of nice. Waitress was nice. She kept the drinks flowing. I ordered chilaquiles. I try them everywhere. I didn't enjoy them at all. chips were soaked in the sauce instead of sauce poured on top. so there was no sauce on the dish which left everything else dry. steak slices were dry and way overcooked. Maybe I should have stuck to some simple boring breakfast item. My son ordered french toast. Nothing special to it. Looks like something he cooked himself at home. My husband got a breakfast sandwich or burger that was tasty though, so that was a win. The drinks I had were good. Had a couple of the Meridian cocktail and had a couple sips of my friend's bloody mary. I would come back for drinks and appetizers. Not sure how I feel about another meal. read more

This place is SO SO incredibly overpriced for what it is, it borders on parody. Like absurdly overpriced for diner food. I honestly don't know why people go here for breakfast. Also, the price on the menu for orange juice is misleading. They list one price but if you get a large orange juice, they charge you double stating that the price is for a small. NO WHERE does it say that. Pancakes are at least good though. You can get a much better breakfast for far less at a million other places. read more

Was recommended by my brother and sister-in-law. I trust their taste but it honestly kind of blew my expectations away. I came here with my mom this past Sat and waited maybe 10 mins when I got here around 9 AM. FIrst of all, I would say I was the most surprised by their hot coffee. I know it's only "coffee" but the coffee was actually really good and not to mention hot. Service was very good too. I didn't expect much from the service but I thought it kind of exceeded my expectations. My mom and I got the Short Rib Hash and the Country Fried Steak. I loved both of them a lot. Came with bread too and those were good as well. I think my short rib were well seasoned, loved all my potatoes and when you put some short rib, egg, and potato together how wrong can it get. I loved the country fried steak as well and hats off to their hash browns (loved breakfast hash browns) for being really crispy. It was prob standard pricing in terms of American breakfast/ a little cheaper than some that I've been to. I would highly recommend it for American Breakfast. read more

The food and service at Twoheys are both fantastic. We need these family run eateries. The give families a great place to gather and they create jobs. For those people leaving low star reviews solely on price, stay home, eat your bowl of cereal. These restaurants are businesses. They aren't soup kitchens. They are simply trying to operate on a margin. Learn a bit about operating a business before you take a place down solely on price. If you want to point fingers look no further than your state and local officials who have run SoCal into the ground read more

Unfortunately, this will be our last time dining here. My husband and I were seated about five minutes after arriving, which was reasonable. However, the service was extremely slow from start to finish. We sat outside around 6 pm. and observed a male server attending to his tables quickly and attentively, while our server took over 15 minutes just to bring our drinks. Once our food arrived, she never checked on us once food was dropped off, and it took an excessive amount of time to receive the check. We even were made to feel bad for asking a food runner for a side of ranch and were greeted with an annoyed face and telling us she would let our server know; which she never did. The food may be OKAY, but the level of service did not justify the price or the long wait. Overall, a very disappointing experience. read more

I moved to So Cal 10 years ago and have enjoyed meals at Twohey's ever since I've been in this area. Visited tonight for dinner with my wife, son, and in laws. The tuna melt is sooo good! Elva thank you for always providing such kind & hospitable service. See you next time! read more

Sat at the bar. Bartender's are attentive and efficient. Food was delicious. We'll definitely be back...

My first time here and it was really nice. Service was attentive and the food was really good. The atmosphere and ambiance feels like an upscale diner. We came when it was happy hour so the hubby enjoyed his alcoholic drink and tacos for $20? I got their classic burger-- recipe from last century so it's pretty simple but tasty. 6 year old had breakfast for dinner and gobbled everything up. It's funny how local lore kept me away from this place (wierd racist stories of them when they were in the Alhambra/San Marino location) so it's nice to finally experience it myself and have my own opinions of the restaurant. read more

We have been here a number of times and never had an issue before. But today, we had the vegan breakfast burrito and short rib hash. Both were fine, although the hash was quite oily. The real issue was the customer service. The breakfast section of the menu clearly says you can substitute fresh fruit or salad for potatoes, which we did. But when the bill came, our server said those were not included and charged us for both. $5 for fruit and $3 for salad. When we asked the server about it, she said neither were included. I just checked the menu again and they clearly are included. If there is an upcharge for the substitution, the menu does not disclose this. Either way, it doesn't seem kosher. It's a shame because it's a small amount to lose regular customers over. read more

It seems like this place is a hit or miss on the dishes. Some of the dishes are good, but some of them are just kind of average. What I noticedIs dishes that have chicken tend to be on the dryer side. Some of the better dishes are things like their prime rib dip sandwich. It's jambalaya pasta was good. Today, my father had the hamsteak breakfast.Which was fine. I had the healthy breakfast but like I said, it seems like any dishes with chicken leans on the dryer side. The chick the chicken locked any flavor. read more

I love the California club sandwich. The house made turkey does it for me. I also like the bacon in this sandwich. It's not too greasy and is pretty good quality. The bread is perfectly toasted.

Two words...garlic fries. Fourvstar for those fries. Wow they were so gooood. Despite a few bad fries that were black and blemished...and there were too many tiny bits nasquerading as fries....but wow all forgiven, just the right amt of garlic...also not salty or greasy. Very enjoyable though some flawed bits. Also fivr stars was the great was the butternut squash soup. Really amazing flavor, very butternut good, a creme-based soup with oyster crackers, perfect for a rainy chilly day. KUDOS TO THE CHEF. We liked that the patty melt had a plethora of choice for the side...but did I mention the garlic fries. Even my picky mom enjoyed them. The patty melt on marbled bread was good, mom was happy..altgough ...tho mom asked for medium and only half fit her ask...which was totally schizophrenic...one hamburger meat patty with only half that turned out medium and the other half was fefinitely well done. Mom liked it nonethless but it wasn't totally the temp asked for. Our waiter was fine but never stopped by unless we flagged him...we asked for water, and he chatted with colleague instead. Made my 87 year old mom ask twice. I had to stop him for coffee refill, tho he did bring a small carafe without me having to ask, which I totally appreciated. I had to flag him to ask about dessert and he rattled off the choices from memory, so we chose to share an NY cheesecake. The slice was breathtakingly small, but nice having a rosette of whip creme on the side. The service was adequate but other customers seemed to be more important, and I didn't appreciate that since I brought my mom here to impress her with a nice dining out experience. Overall, we were happy campers, comfy in our booth, and it was nice that the inattention gave us a leisurely dining experience. Mission accomplished. Everyone from tecpti9n was friendly and welcoming. And we were seated straight away. Free parking...clean fresh relaxed ambiance with lots of booths that create a sense of privacy...you cant see anyone else in their booths...an inviting bar section..... read more

Food was delicious. We had the biscuits/gravy breakfast and hash egg Benedict. Restaurant was new, clean with plenty of seating. However...when I arrived, the receptionist never acknowledged me or even looked up when I was the only one there. Server didn't ask if we wanted water or more coffee. Service needs some work!!! read more

This place is my go to after going to the Rose Bowl antique fair. The food is really good, though I wouldn't call it. Mind blowing. It's standard fare with quality ingredients. For me personally, I would say the cocktails are my favorite part. Food portions are fairly large for the price point. Drawbacks would be the lack of parking (which obviously they can't help), and the wait times. Make a reservation if you can, as it gets really crowded on the weekends! read more

The short ribs were tasty and the salad was good, but the mashed potatoes tasted like they came from a box. We also ordered the meatloaf which was disappointing. It was a bit dry and it tasted like it was mixed with some sort of filler. read more

We go here many times. The service is always attentive and cheerful. The food is delicious and cooked perfectly. Eggs, Benedicts, corn beef, omelets, and whatever else we had, everything was great.

Went here for dinner the other night with the fam. Great service, good food, and good vibes.

Perfect in every way if diner is what you are looking for. One of the only long-open restaurants that has gotten better over time.

Short Review: Friendly neighborhood diner with great food and great service. They appreciate sports too, so if you're looking for a place to watch the game while you eat, they have generous table side service in their bar with multiple TVs. Long Review: So, in the South Pasadena area, Twohey's is an institution. They've been in the area at least 75 years. This location is relatively new in the last decade. They were at a location bordering So Pas / Alhambra, but moved into this space that had previously been vacated for years by an Italian restaurant that just didn't make it. The area is now revitalized with the addition of this restaurant to the location - which is what you want from every business don't you? A company that gives and celebrates its community? The menu is varied and good. Vegetarian and Vegan options a-plenty but good, fat bacon too!! ;) They have indoor and outdoor seating and are great for accommodating large parties for birthdays and other celebrations. They even put sparklers in your dessert if you're celebrating a special occasion. Pop in...you'll love it! read more

My youngest cousins & I had dinner at Twohey's on a recent Friday night. They were understandably busy so we waited about 15-20 minutes until we got seated. No big deal, as we were looking at the menu trying to decide & strategize on the what were gonna order/share. Ha! They have a covered waiting area with heat lamps which is nice. Host table was set up outside the entrance as well. I was a regular customer at the Alhambra location spending many post-Friday night lights there for diner food and this was my first time at the South Pas location. I tell you what, I like this location so much more. No more sharing an insane parking lot with In N Out next door and the updated, modern, bright, well-lit interior of the South Pasadena location gets my nod for sure. Our party of 3 was seated in a booth in Laura's section and we just loved her so much. She was running around helping other tables as we had just gotten seated and she made sure we knew she'd be by soon. She was great with her attentiveness & care (She even noticed my cousin's Stranger Things" t-shirt) and commented that she had something to show us. It was a photo of someone dressed up for Halloween that was full-on in character from the show. Laura really made our dinner that much more memorable. Very cool. 2 of us ordered the Heckels Prime Rib Dip ($21.95) and it was delicious. No cheese for me as I'm a purist. It's described as house roasted prime rib, horseradish Jack cheese, caramelized onions, horseradish-herb aioli on a french roll with jus. I picked their homemade potato chips to pair with my french dip and it was perfect. I loved the taste of the sliced prime rib, the slight crunch of the french roll, the complimentary flavor of the aioli and the au jus for dipping. It was great and I would order it again. I loved the homemade potato chips. Nice, salty & crispy.... My other cousin ordered the Short Rib Melt ($20.95) and he said it was so good. Slow-braised beef short rib, Jack cheese, Tillamook cheddar, bacon jam, horseradish aioli on sourdough. It looked really good. For dessert, we ordered a small strawberry sundae ($9.95), a chocolate/strawberry double thick shake ($8.95) and I got an Oreo double thick milkshake. It was SO GOOD. I was originally gonna get it to-go but Laura (ever looking out for us) said if I order it to-go I'll only get half as much because when having it inside the restaurant, you get the additional metal tumbler alongside it so you'll get more and can just take the rest home. She was totally right and I will never doubt her again. Thank you Laura! Thanks for being so great to my cousins and I. I will always request to be in your section when returning to Twohey's. Free parking in the shared lot... I like the new digs, Twohey's. read more

Good food and good vibes! Patio seating available so you can bring your pet! Love the short rib and the burgers here. Haven't had a chance to try the desserts. Always get too full from the appetizers and entrees. They have happy hour! Just wish the parking could be better.

I went on a Wednesday evening and it wasn't too busy. There's a shared parking lot for the plaza as well as free street parking on fair oaks right next to the restaurant. There's indoor and outdoor seating. We sat outdoors where it was covered and very comfortable. Our server was very nice and attentive. The beef short rib plate was delicious and not too bad for the price. The meat was tender, and went well with the mashed potatoes and seasonal veggies. The prices for happy hour didn't seem too bad either, so I reckon I'll go back considering how pleasant my dinner was. read more

Went for Happy Hour. The cocktails and beer were good, however the appetizers were mediocre. We ordered the pork sliders, which had barely any meat. Basically bread. The Asada Fries were French fries with cheese and two tiny pieces of meat, the worst. The fish tacos were good, plenty of fish. The dry rub wings were okay, not seasoned very well. All in all a disappointment, thank goodness we were with good friends. read more

I'm vegan, and I love their roasted vegetable sandwich. I also love the orange mint salad and the avocado toast.

Cute place, delicious food, good service. Definitely want to try the pie next time! It looked good.

Been here a couple times now. Wife likes their Wednesday special, the rack of lamb. She got that both times and enjoys it. I had their burger the first visit, and meatballs the second. Both were good, but nothing special. Just alright. Service is friendly and attentive. We'll be back, I just need to keep trying items until I find one I really like. read more

I had high hopes for this place but felt that it fell short. I feel that the food here was nothing short of regular diner food. We had the chilaquiles, pancakes, patty melt, a burger and the Dutch apple pancake. The chilaquiles were probably my favorite. The patty melt I felt was a little dry, and the toast too, was dry. My mouth was hurting trying to get through the whole sandwich. We waited for the Dutch apple pancake. I was so excited for it but it didn't hit the spot either. The pecans were candied at the bottom and the dough was so thick. The service was so slow and at the end of our experience the waiter brought us the wrong check. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. Out of all of my travels near and far, I have never come across a restaurant that holds my attention so much. Each time I'm in the area, I HAVE to come here. Food is stellar. Service, meh, but the food makes up for it. Great patios "dog friendly" if you follow the rules. My only complaint about this restaurant is the coffee. It's absolutely crap. Still giving it five stars because I can drink other things on the menu. Inside can get a little loud, but that's because they are always busy. read more
