Green Street Restaurant

A Pasadena Tradition Since 1979

  • Breakfast, lunch, dinner menus
  • Preferred member specials
  • Catering

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 café 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

Editorial Review for Green Street Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors

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.

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.

OK. So I go to this restaurant expecting to be able to get a really great salad. Guided by the reviews on this site, I chose to order the Diane salad (dinner size) along with a Pasadena sandwich (not suggested by this site but I wanted red meat!). The sandwich was fine. OK quality meat on OK quality bread with some sautéed peppers and onions. It was very straightforward and plain. The salad could be described in the same way. The Diane is iceberg lettuce with poached chicken, rice noodles, and toasted almond slivers and some tasty oil based dressing. I have to give the dressing some credit, but the rest of the salad was mediocre to sub mediocre. It was quite disappointing. The best part of the meal was by far the zucchini bread. The service was fast and professional. Bottom line- Don’t go here expecting a great meal or a great salad. Come here for good zucchini bread and to enjoy eating so-so food on a nice patio.

Pros: Zicchini bread, nice patio

Cons: Based on my experience with the Diane and Pasadena sandwich... The food!

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

i like this restaurant. they had good food and good service. their sandwiches and salads are yummy. the only problem i had, was finding the restaurant. it's kind of in the corner/sidestreets.. so i kept on passing it. i'd recommend this place for a little dinner or for lunch.
