Pie N' Burger serves old fashion, old school fried burgers. They are fantastic and makes In N Out taste like a microwave Jr. High School cafeteria burger. AND they bake on the premises, a variety of fresh pies each day. This is a simple location, nothing for ambience, but clean. Make sure you get seated before or after the lunch... More

We went after seeing this place featured on Travel Channel's Burger Land and living in the area, we thought it would be fun. Its a small little shack basically and once inside you notice that while the prices are skyhigh!! They don't spend any of it on fixing or replacing anything in the restaurant. Everything is run down and worn... More

Pie was wonderful but the potato salad was the best I have ever had in a restaurant! Throwback hipster atmosphere with dedicated regulars. Name is descriptive of fare.

Michael and the entire staff rock, the breakfast, the burgers and the pie at this Pasadena Insitution are time honored classics. We miss living nearby and ordering our holiday pies. A treat every time we return to Pasadena.

You want a custom-made, gooey, delicious cheeseburger in Pasadena? Pie n' Burger is the place. You get the old-time diner experience eating in, too, but even if you take away, the burger will be amazing. If there's a better one in the area, then I'm stumped as to what it is.

We were kind of disappointed with Pie n' Burger. Food was fine, but nothing really really notable. Burger was good, fries were average (they weren't homemade by my definition, I think they definitely came out of a bag), chili was average, pie was ok. The place is a real blast from the past in terms of decor. I think that... More

Just go and have a burger. You won't be sorry. This old fashioned counter is a blast from the past and the food is terrific. Great fun. Many people agree so expect to wait.
