Restaurants in Pasadena

“The food and atmosphere were amazing. We loved every bit of our experience. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Betty’s Biscuit with peaches and pecans was like eating something from heaven. We also had the deviled eggs, pot pie, shrimp and grits - all delicious. I cannot wait to go back!”

“it was the highlight of my day to come to Carrabba's with my wife. We were nearby and always come to Carrabba's for our favorite dish. Fettuccine Carrabba! It's the best and the people that work here in Pasadena are the sweetest most accommodating out of all of them. I love the atmosphere, the cleanliness, the service and the food. The manager "Ben" is fantastic too!”

“Every thing was Amazing the view, service, food and drinks!! This is definitely a hidden gem! We will definitely be back!”

“Wow.. I read reviews before stopping.. they had a great rating so we stopped. The service was suburb.. The food was surprisingly fresh and DELICIOUS!! The crab cakes had lumps of crab meat in them and they had some filler but that did not take away from the deliciousness Everything was amazing”

“Got two dozen medium males yesterday, August 5, 2023. Meaty, delicious and sweet. Staff were very friendly. New favorite place for my family!”

“Wonderful food and atmosphere. Plus my kiddo chefs there 😊😊😊”

“Never disappointed. Food always very good.”

“Thank you Rumor Reel staff! I attended a lunch reunion for our travel club today at The Rumor Reel. I reserved the date & time with Scott & Jen and as always it was a great time. Our server Alicia was fantastic! She was very attentive and quick with the food and drinks. The food was delicious and drinks went down smoothly. I highly recommend The Rumor Reel for any type of celebration or event you are planning. You will not be dissappointed!”

“I go there a few times a month. The service the amount of food and the quality of food is always top-notch. They have a great selection of food. The chili cheese fries are amazing. Also beef tips are very good. Also The steak is 2 times better thr Outback. The sides are huge portions. Try this place you won’t be disappointed.”

“Great experience- great food and atmosphere”

“Never been disappointed with Anne Arundel Seafood. Most recently went with friends on a double date & everyone was very nice, especially the kind lady who took our order (in the area where you order crab cakes & desserts). She was very patient taking our large order. Food has always been very good. This past time there was more shells than normal in the crab dip & crab cakes, but taste wise, as always, very good 👍🏼 Would definitely recommend & we will definitely go back, again & again.”

“We tried the Lodge for the first time tonight. Pros- The place is beautiful, very cozy, warm and inviting. The hostess was very sweet, and greeted and sat us quickly. Mondays are burger night. Very good value. $9 burger and fries. I got the Lodge burger and it was excellent. Cooked perfect, quality meat and paired with really good fries! Cons - Very limited menu, in my opinion Service was nice but fairly slow. Our waitress disappeared for longgggg periods at a time. Even when our drinks were clearly empty, we were never offered refills unless we asked. My husband got the grizzly all you can eat platter. It was a huge miss. It comes with fried shrimp, fried chicken, beef, ribs, fries, coleslaw, and corn on the cob for $30. Fried chicken looked good but was literally COLD, no I actually mean like COLD, inside. Skin was crunchy but without much flavor. My husband ate one small piece ( it came with three). Fried shrimp was very good. The beef ribs were very gritty. Not tasty at all. Fries were good. Cole slaw was super vinegary and also put on the plate with everything else which means the fries shrimp and chicken all had coleslaw juice all over it. The corn on the cob was literally green giant frozen niblets or something. My husband took one bite and left the rest on the plate. It came with two.... We did mention to the waitress about the chicken and she did offer to replace it, but at that point, he didn't really want it anymore. She did bring more shrimp since it was all you can eat and had given him new fries, which were very good. When the waitress came back over, I did mention to her. It wasn't a great meal for $30 especially since I got a delicious burger for $9. She was very apologetic which I told her she didn't need to be. It certainly wasn't her fault. We waited for the bill and the manager wanted up coming over and asking for feedback which we gave her very honestly, she was very nice. I really appreciated that she took the feedback. She gave us a small discount I think which we didn't ask for, but it was nice of her anyway. All in all, I would definitely go back for burger night, but that's probably all..”

“Great food and drinks. Staff is friendly and accommodating.”

“Quality matters !!! Ordered for the first time tonight. Amazing and fresh !!! Highly recommend !!!”

“Fifer's is the best all you can eat Seafood place in Maryland to me. The customer service is always great when I go and the food is delicious. I would recommend Fifer's Seafood to all my family and friends anytime. Keep up the great work.”

“I don’t normally write reviews for restaurants but the chicken Alfredo here is out of this world! I have ordered it 3 times this week because it is so good! And such a big serving for only 11 dollars you can’t beat it”

“bought a few things from there the other day. all of it was fantastic will be going there alot more. highly recommend this bakery”

“Today is the first time I called and ordered from Cookies Kitchen…I ordered HamburgerSteak platter with mashed potatoes n corn…omg it’s a bomb. I’m gonna rate Cookies Kitchen number 1 over all other food places in around Pasadena area. I’m looking forward coming back. Thank You.”

“My husband and I made a wrong turn a few weeks back and happened to see this place called blendabowl. The following wk we decided to try them out and we are completely addicted!! The quality in the taste and freshness of the bowl we get exceeded our expectations. We get blue crush with shaved almonds granola blueberries bananas and Nutella def a must try😋 The place is always clean and the staff is excellent as well as management!! Enrique definitely runs a great establishment and if you have never tried blendabowl you are missing out. We have been every day they are open since the 1st time (literally) and continue to do so☺ Mikie&Lisa”

“I go to Johnny's a lot most of the food is exceptionally well all I can say is never get the fried Chicken it's horrible they say it's fresh but it tastes like it's out of a box like maybe like banquet chicken other than that all the food I've eaten there has been exceptional the service sometimes is off but on most occasions you get a great server but there are times when you got a really bad server and I've experienced that a couple times since I've been going there but other than that they are totally a great place to eat and very affordable”

“The food is amazing. I recommend this list anyone who loves good authentic Thai food”

“70/80/90 thru now , all hit covers.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ First time trying El Pollo Cool. 1/4 White Grilled Chicken, rice and green beans 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 New favorite spot”

“Great little local place to get ice cream. the only negative is that a lot of the hand dipped flavors taste like mint. wish they were better about keeping it separate”

“Retirement party today . Great time also having an 80th birthday party at the same time”

“My husband and I had not been here in a while. Went in at 10:30 am on 2/08/25, and I was craving lunch food. They had no issues prepping our lunch and the young man who waited on us was very nice, polite and answered my questions. Food was good and dining room was very clean.”

“Oscars Alehouse in Pasadena is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, lively, and welcoming — the kind of place that instantly feels like your new favorite hangout. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, striking the perfect balance between laid-back and professional. The beer selection? Phenomenal. Whether you're into local craft brews, seasonal specialties, or classic favorites, there's something for every palate. And the bartenders really know their stuff — they’re happy to make recommendations and even offer samples if you’re undecided. The food is way beyond typical pub fare. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and generously portioned. The burgers are juicy and perfectly cooked, the wings are legendary, and the crab dip? Just wow. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in every dish. Add in live music, TVs for the game, and a crowd that’s always upbeat — it’s the kind of place you want to come back to again and again. Whether you're out with friends, on a casual date, or just grabbing a solo pint, Oscars Alehouse delivers every time. Highly recommend checking it out — you won’t be disappointed! And hey, if you guys at Oscars are reading these reviews — just a quick heads-up: why aren’t the comments left on your Facebook reviews visible? It’d be great to see the community’s feedback and conversations. Either way, keep doing what you’re doing — you’ve got something special here!”

“I don't write reviews very often. I've had food hear before that friends bought, tacos on discount night a couple times. Tonight was the first time I placed an order, very polite on the phone. The chicken Quesadilla comes with a huge amount of quac, rice, beans, lettuce, tomato. I had the Steak Birria Burito, it makes Chipotle look like gas station food, huge portion, delicious. We also tried the Steak Birrio Taco, very good. You also get chips and sauces with your order that are on point. The green sauce is perfect. We will be making this a regular spot now.”

“We came from out of town to visit and WOW…. Meal was delicious! Wings were spot on and the service was excellent! Highly recommend the crab soup and Philly cheesesteak also!!!”

“I’ve tried a lot of different pizza places in Pasadena and Pizza City has the best pizza. They also have subs. I’ve always had a good experience with them and their delivery service.”

“One of the best pizza places I've found in maryland. The pizza is crispy and flavorful. Sauce and cheese just right. I highly recommend that you give it a try.”

“Literally the best taco food truck we’ve ever had.”

“The absolute BEST cake replacement option for a dessert at your wedding! With all of the options and made-to-order combinations, the price per person cannot be beat. Our guests are still raving about how great it tasted and how personable the attendants were. My only wedding day regret is not going back for seconds at the end of the night!”

“Great food , nice staff, very good chef,”

“Yesterday i finally got to visit!!!!I really enjoyed how light the food was. I got the kimchi and pickles radishe to go that how much i enjoyed them.. i be back to try everything 😁😁😁”

“I can always count on them to perfect my order! The Chia Seed pudding is out of this world and really hard to replicate – I’ve tried countless times lol it all really fills me up and it’s easy to save for later in the fridge or a good cooler if you have to.”

“Excellent prices and the food portions are incredible. Always tasty and hot!”

“You can never go wrong at Mr. Pizza! Their food is always great and the service is wonderful! And, the owner really takes care of his customers and he cares about making sure your order is always right, and done properly. This is one of the best Pizza places in Pasadena! Worth every penny! 👍”

“Went on a Monday Night. They were setting up for Trivia night and it was packed which you don’t see normally anywhere on a Monday night. They were also going to be showing the Baltimore Ravens game so
Lots of folks on Ravens jerseys, hats etc. Seemed like a fun place and everyone there new each other so a locals Pub. Food was very good and good quality as well and prices very reasonable. If you are in the area and needing a casual environment then this place is perfect.”

“We had a wonderful time. everything was good...”

“Orange chicken and chicken lo mein was FANTASTIC! The portions are very large. The restaurant has a cozy romantic atmosphere and the staff is extremely friendly. We will keep coming back, thank you!”

“Best Chinese place in Maryland. I’ve been eating at many Chinese food places in Md , from Towson, lutherville, timonioum, Aberdeen Elton & Anne Arundel County for nearly 50 years. Never have I had such quality & quantity as I have gotten like Ho Wok. Always fresh & cooked perfectly , Mr & Mrs Ho are very nice & professional y mannered best family oriented both in restaurant & delivery. I only order from Ho Wok. In fact I’m waiting for them to open today 3:30 so I can order some ckn broccoli & steamed dumplings 5 stars all the way”

“I love pizza bolis 🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕🍕”

“I visit this location daily, usually around noon, and the baristas are wonderful! The regulars greet me by name and always tell me to have a great day! Occasionally, there is a little note on the side of the cup, which is very sweet. When I am running an errand somewhere closer to another Starbucks, I drive to this one, even if it is out of the way that day. Thank you, Pasadena MD Starbucks, for always making me feel as special as you are!”

“Great Service, Great Pizza, Great Doggie-Ghost😹”

“Rita's is my favorite ice cream parlor simply because of their soft serve options! I'm not a big fan of the regular scooped ice cream and much more prefer softer ice cream and foods in general.
My favorite thing there by far is the cookies and cream Gelati! I also love the Choclate - Vanilla - Twist cone (on a cake cone) with rainbow sprinkles! If I'm down for it, every once in a while, I will get the Swedish fish Gelati that has a nice sweet tang to it, and mixed with the frozen creamy custard , it's so perfect!

Now, so far with staff I hadn't had any issues with. According to a lot of other reviews on here, people are saying the staff and customer service are terrible. Most of the time, especially during summer seasons, it's just high schoolers finding a summer job there, and they're pretty friendly to me!

That's all for now, though. I would highly recommend this place, definitely a 10/10!!!!”

“My niece and me go there once every month for lunch always great service my food is prepared the way l want it the waitress is always smiling and checked with us great all around”

“I very much enjoy going to this Dunkin. The staff is wonderful and always take care of me. I don't tip at coffee shops...I tipped here.

The only real complaint I have is that the drive through is very slow. It's so much faster to walk in and order or order ahead and pick it up at the counter than to use the drive through.

Parking is extremely limited, and with the drive through constantly overflowing the parking lot it's often times better to park in the nearby strip mall lot and walk over. It's worth it, though.

All too often I forget to scan my app barcode to get points. It would be awesome if the staff at the register would ask if I have the app right before taking payment if I didn't already get it scanned. An employee told me yesterday that a lot of people forget to get their barcode scanned. It would be a good gesture to start reminding customers when they offer payment. ?

Parking: REALLY limited parking. But then, I don't know that I've ever seen a Dunkin with lots of parking. Lol”

“This is my go to place when I am back home in Pasadena. yesterday we got take our for 8 people everything was really good..I got a shrimp and steak sub the meat was so good so much flavor. it didn't have cheese but that's my fault for not asking but still so good ! keep doing what you doing and I will keep stopping in when ever I am in Pasadena!”

“Food & service were both excellent! They haven’t fully opened indoor dining due to lack of employees. There was one lady inside taking orders & serving customers & she did a great job! Will definitely be back!”

“Very tasty pizzas and subs! We have never been disappointed.”

“Best pizza and subs! Affordable specials! Mr. Pizza sucks!”

“Finally decided to try it last night with my girlfriend, we kept it simple with two classic cheesesteaks and naked fries. We were both very happy with our food and will absolutely be back to explore the menu.”
