LA Food | Pasadena Western Restaurant Recommendations π
1οΈβ£ Lincoln π 1992 Lincoln Ave, Pasadena, CA 91103 A solid brunch spot that hasnβt been overrun by β popular with locals post-workout or for casual gossip sessions with friends (and dogs!). Brunch is served all day, so no worries if you sleep in! π Must-tries: Breakfast Bowl β fresh salad with rich yet light dressing, plus amazing meatballs Buttermilk Pancakes Breakfast Sandwich (canβt go wrong with these!) ποΈ Bonus: While waiting to order, you can browse cute little packaged snacks, home goods, and gifts. Almost everyone picks up something small β great for kids or as souvenirs. Next door is the ownerβs home decor shop β worth a peek after your meal! 2οΈβ£ Houston's Restaurant π 320 S Arroyo Pkwy, Pasadena, CA 91105 A popular American steakhouse loved for its great value and delicious, unique dishes. Reservations recommended, but you may still wait a bit after arriving. π Top Picks: π₯ Grilled California Artichokes β A must-try appetizer! Artichokes are like a flower-vegetable hybrid. Grilled and served with a dipping sauce β fun to peel and eat, with a tender, creamy texture. (Seasonal β ask about availability!) π₯ Sushi β Yes, sushi at a steakhouse! The Spicy Tuna Roll is excellent, but you canβt go wrong with any from their dedicated sushi menu. π₯ Sandwich β Buttery toasted bread, pre-sliced for easy sharing. π Barbecue Pork Ribs β So tender they fall right off the bone (no knife needed π). π₯ Salads β Also highly recommended! Perfect for when you want something hearty but not necessarily steak. #PasadenaEats #LABrunch #LASteakhouse #HiddenGems #FoodieFinds #LocalFavorites #MustTry
