Colorful and kid friendly (there's plenty of paper and crayons at each table), this Eagle Rock diner is a family favorite. At lunchtime, the front takeout counter is jamming with a bustling neighborhood crowd. On weekends it can get a little crazy as folks flood in for open-faced breakfast sandwiches, huge salads, soups and pastas. Popular items include a fat BLT with avocado and sprouts, piled-high Cobb salad, orzo pasta with kalamata olives, and lamb shepherd's pie. But it's not just the savory staples that keep the crowds coming--people from all over drive miles for the bakery's famous red velvet and coconut cupcakes.

very nice people!!! I ordered a small salad and a cupcake this last visit (i've been there 3 times) and I forgot my wallet and they were so nice as to tell me to bring it next time. The cupcakes are always fresh and yummy (wait, not yummy because yummy's cupcakes are nasty) the salad was tasty and unique. I will go back again and again. very nice people and the food is tasty.

After reading some of the bad reviews I am happy that I have only eaten there for breakfast and lunch or to pick up some cupcakes. Although the "dirty" review has grossed me out a bit. Grrrrr. In all honesty it was the cupcakes that brought me in to the place, but now, I do enjoy the food and the diverse staff at Auntie Em's. I love to see a success story and it seems as though this place is one of them. Great for them. Although, I would suggest that the owners get on any of the "dirty" issues and cross contamination (touch face = wash hands, not go back to slicing meat).

Arrived for dinner around 6 PM and the employees were far more intent on eating their meals, than serving the few customers in the place. Tables were dirty, most of the specials listed on the board were not available (how about taking a minute to erase them?) and the staff was slow and disinterested. Maybe this place was on the Food Network, but they are difinitely off the map now. If you even think of going here, I suggest you continue on down the 134 FWY, just a few minutes more, and enjoy the great and reasonably priced restaurants in Pasadena (where there is always parking available).
