Pie ‘N Burger
This Pasadena classic, sit-down restaurant should be a staple for lunch during finals week. Rated one of the top one hundred best burgers in the United States by Food Network, Pie ‘n Burger does not hesitate to meet its title. Their juicy cheeseburger is a wonderful mix of chilled lettuce and tomatoes on top of a steaming burger patty covered with thousand island sauce. The burger is topped off with a beautiful soft bun that melts in your mouth. Pie ‘n Burger does not stop at just its phenomenal burger. They also offer chili fries and a wide assortment of sandwiches. As its name suggests, Pie ‘n Burger serves an immense amount of different pie flavors ranging from apple to boysenberry to coconut cream. It is important to bring cash to Pie ‘n Burger because they do not accept cards; they use a vintage cashier machine to add to their old diner aesthetic.
