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.

Insider Tips

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.

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!

Cons: they substitute ingredients without customer's knowledge

This place seemed a little confusing. I couldn't decide if it was nice - - it seemed like it was trying to be fine dining but not quite there. The food was mediocre at best. I had the special shrimp taco salad which I was craving, but was a big dissapointment. The dressing tasted strange and there was WAY too much of it. The menu was overpriced for such average food ($14 for my not-so-good salad). However the zucchini bread is great, ha i did end up buying a loaf to take home! I wont go back here for anything else.

Pros: great zucchini bread

Cons: overpriced menu, mediocre food, bland environment
