a favorite diner for breakfast; but I've had dinner there as well. I like the place; don't go with a large party, seating is limited; parties of 4 or less is what I'd recommend. Breakfast; you need to get something with bacon; it's really good here. more

Cool Atmosphere, The wings we ordered tasted like they had freezer burn. The Waffles were good though. more

Really great breakfast spot. Like the warmth and cozy feel. Pancakes are nice and fluffy, tasting great with lots of butter. more

My mom and I go here like once a month at least! They are, and I stress this, the best hamburgers I have ever eaten in Pasadena! Juicy, thick patties, pickles, tomatoes, lettuce and their special sauce! Awesome onion rings! Great potato salad! Small and familiar staff that remember us and our drink order when we come in. Cozy booths... more

I have one restaurant whose name I can remember in Pasadena , Russells on North Fair Oaks. Excellent breakfasts and dinner. Go there. Friendly staff and inexpensive. They have the usual bottomless coffee. Go early for breakfast as the place is small causing a wait but its weel worth it. more

Breakfast at the Westin or the Sheraton where we had stayed was so expensive that we decided to venture out in old town Pasadena. We found a little gem american/italian restaurant Russell's on 30 N Fair Oaks. Orange juice was fresh, eggs and bacon were real, hashbrown was made of potato (surprise) and toasts are perfect. Coffee, well it's still... more
