Twohey's is a must-try in Pasadena! I highly recommend this elevated diner. The breakfast options are delicious, especially the corned beef hash and orange French toast. Plus, they serve a great latte, a definite step up from the usual diner coffee. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to try it for lunch!

The food was especially good. I had a burger, and when I ate it, it tasted like heaven. It was soft, but it had the right amount of salt and other stuff. I also had the ice cream. It was pretty good, not gonna lie. The service was as fast as any other diner. It's a little long but not that bad. The place felt modern. There is a little bit of wood details here and there. But you're probably not going to notice them anyway.

Just squeaked in before they closed at 9pm. I had (part of) an excellent Steak Frites with garlic fries. Tom and Denise both had the Thursday special- a really good Chicken Pot Pie, with gravy that is out of this world! We all got salads too, and that was lucky, because salads were unusually good. Split a piece of dark chocolate cake too. A fabulous meal!

Love me a limeade & hot fudge Sunday with raspberries. We used to get both these & a cheeseburger when I was a kid at the original location. Really grateful to see twohey's alive & well even closer to home. Can't beat the hot fudge!

As LA native who haven’t been back in the city for three years, this is a perfect restaurant to visit for breakfast, lunch or dinner. You see lots of smiles and great vibe and outstanding service. Also many options for breakfast and lunch..

Held a mini high school reunion here for six at 3:30 pm on a weekday. Beat the dinner rush, plenty of free parking. Got a nice booth near the door so we could watch for people we haven't seen in a zillion years to arrive. All were easily found thanks to our location. Service was friendly. I had dessert for dinner. The large sundae with bittersweet chocolate. Cherry on top. It was yum. I snatched an onion ring, nice not greasy, lightly friend. Others ordered stuff from the happy hour menu. Everyone seemed happy. Yayyy. We were there about 3 hours. And also lingered for about 20 minutes in parking lot. Two of us chose to park on street same side as restaurant, so parking filled up fast after I arrived. The place shares a lot with other businesses. Some parking in rear. Invoke your car karma.

This feels like the best version of a fancy diner where I would be happy eating like 10 different things off the menu. I had the prime rib dip with home made chips and both the sandwich + dip and the chips were fantastic. It ended up being a nice big plate. So good. My partner had a short rib melt and loved it. His potato salad was fantastic, with some olive oil and scallions. They have a great happy hour and since we were there early, we also had some decent margarita and mojito. Edit: We've been back a bunch of times since the first review. Several sandwiches are good, the chocolate milkshake is great, the poutine sauce is awesome (except for a little too many mushrooms). Overall, a hit with everyone we bring here.
