What People Are Saying About Green Street Restaurant
The Owner
Green Street Restaurant
Owner
Green Street Restaurant has been a Pasadena tradition since 1979. Serving California comfort food for breakfast, lunch and dinner, Green Street is the place where Pasadeneans go to meet old friends, discuss business or just enjoy a fabulous meal.
Green Street is still owned and operated by the family that started it as a one room, 18-table cafe on East Green Street. Since 1983, Shoppers Lane (1/2 block east of South Lake Avenue) has been home to this quintessential neighborhood restaurant. We are always interested in your comments, questions, critiques and compliments. Feel free to contact us at comments@greenstreetrestaurant.com

In Short
Hordes of families, business lunchers and Lake Avenue shoppers regularly fill the cheerful, large dining room and patio. Blond-wood accents and colorful watercolors are as typically Californian as the food. The comfort fare covers a full spectrum of breakfast, lunch and dinner options. Sandwiches range from basic burgers to a generous chicken club. The highlight, though, is the salad selection, each made to order and served with thick slices of homemade zucchini bread.

I used to go to this restaurant daily for lunch in the 80's. Ah-- those were the days! Was back in town and went this week -- wow -- what a disappointment: poor service, overpriced, mediocre food, and then: the tour de force: they use C O O L W H I P on their desserts! Yes -- the menu says whipped cream. But what they put tasted horrible and we complained. They actually brought out the bag from which they had piped out the stuff: it said "whipped topping" on the side!! Gag! They admitted their fraud without apology and without shame. Hmmmm . . . . I wondered what was really in my hamburger . . . . yikes!

For those who live in the South Lake area of Pasadena, Green Street restaurant is a super place to stroll over to or grab food to go. The service is good, and my food has always been bagged and ready to go when I arrive. The prices are reasonable and the menu offers anything from burgers to fish and steak.

I stumbled upon this place and really liked it. Very fresh and healthy food, although the salads are a bit big. Apparently the trick is to ask for the lunch sized salad, unless you want to share or take the leftovers home with you.. Line outside the restaurant is a bit long, and service is somewhat slow, but all in all it's a great place for a relaxing lunch/brunch.

Parking:
Although there's a garage next door, Green Street doesn't validate. Instead, try for a spot in the free lot just across Cordova Street.
Where to Sit:
Patio tables are popular, so expect a wait.
