A diamond in the rough

Not what you would expect from a walk up eatery attached to a liquor store, Gerlach's Grill is a true treasure of Pasadena. The food is fresh, well portioned, and expertly prepared. It is obvious that the cook takes pride in his work, I have never had anything short of exceptional from Gerlach's. I do suggest calling ahead as each dish is prepared to order, so a 15-20 min wait is to be expected.

• Pros: Great food, good prices, helpful staff.
• Cons: Parking can be a challenge around dinnertime.
