Kathleen's Restaurant - Pasadena

Absolutely love Kathleen’s!! Kathleen herself is a lovely person who’s so good at what she does. Not exaggerating when I say that everything on the menu is great. I recommend getting some of their pumpkin bread, I’ve since moved away from Pasadena dream of it every day. Highly recommend this place.Food: 5/5

Cozy place but food was underwhelming. Owner was a bit snooty. Just across the street same side is a great breakfast spot called the Reyn.Food: 2/5

Kathleen's has been a staple for my family and friends for years and I visit regularly when I'm in town. It's a humble but nice place. They are always friendly and the service is great. As a vegetarian, I've always been well taken care of there. Love their zucchini and pumpkin breads! Last night I had their veggie burger and fries and it was super tasty as usual. They still serve the garden burger style veggie burger, which is a big plus in my book, not to mention their default is to top it with sauteed mushrooms yum! Washed it down with a glass of wine so good!

I 'm always on the lookout for an area 's oldest establishments as it 's a tell of how the management and staff deal with myriad changes of food trends and styles. Kathleen 's service is amazingly good considering a relatively tiny staff and roller coaster ebb and surge busy times that tests the training and off the management and staff. It 's a quiet original neighborhood nice but not fancy place you can take a family or friends and not have the distractions of the Old Town or Colorado St hyper competitive I 'm YES certified great! types of places. A spinach fettuccine with grilled chicken has a very home style al dente spinach pasta with a well balanced alfredo sauce. A chicken quesadilla is generous and flavorful without resorting to overwhelming salsas or blackening. Blue cheese dressing has real Maytag and home made greatness. Looking forward to great brunches and many happy visits here much like places like Lancers and Lamplighter evoke for so many generations of happy satisfied customers. Love also that they regularly sell out of their market fish specials every Friday and Saturday more signs of a really well run place that will make you feel like you came home again. Parking in the rear, and something that may be an outdoor dining area are being developed and a whole lot of history in one 's tiny place. Closes early 'cause that 's the neighborhood. Eat well and stay happy here!
