Anyone familiar with the Breakfast Shack in South Pasadena?

[Feed_me]

I was talking with my nephew who lives in Alhambra today and he mentioned a place called the Breakfast Shack in South Pasadena. It's only open from 8am to 2pm on Sunday. He said at first he thought it was always closed, but one day he stopped and noticed the hours on the door. He's been past a few times when it's been open, but it's been packed. I don't live close and I probably wouldn't put out the effort, but is anyone out there familiar with the place? More curiosity, but I suppose if it's fantastic it might be worth a "road trip."

My husband really likes the Cook Shack--mostly because of its big, meat-laden portions. I'm not such a big fan and agree that LeRoy's is worth the schlep--especially for their traditional (thin) waffles. They also serve tater tots, which is a hit with my 4 year old.

Isn't this place closed?

It's not worth a road trip. It's better than Denny's but nowhere in the neighborhood of Julienne which is about a mile away. Julienne is worth a road trip for.

Sorry I put down the wrong name. Thanks for correcting that, but I'm kind of surprised that it sounds mediocre. I mean the short hours and the crowds.... Then again, I know a few places that I think aren't very good that are popular and crowded.

If you're ever in Monrovia/Duarte, you should try LeRoy's on Huntington Drive. Best breakfast in town and they serve tater tots in place of the usual home potatoes or hash browns! I believe they're open from 6a-2p.

Totally agree Pitchman...the Cook Shack has really gone downhill, although I haven't been there in years. Not worth the road trip...

Julienne's on the other hand...definitely delicious! Not open Sundays though.
