Retro diner serving burgers, hot fudge sundaes & comfort food

























"Twohey’s Restaurant in South Pasadena is celebrating 80 years of business with a series of special events in September including 80 cent mini sundaes with the purchase of an entree from September 20 to 24. The original Twohey’s Restaurant opened in Pasadena in 1943; it relocated to Alhambra in the 1950s and to South Pasadena in 2020." - Cathy Chaplin

"Last month, South Pasadena’s Twohey’s revived its carhop service. It’s an easy enough ask for diners: simply call 30 minutes in advance to place an order and reserve one of six designated parking spaces for shakes, fries, or burgers." - Mona Holmes


"Primed for a big comeback in South Pasadena, the shuttered Twohey’s from Alhambra is already starting to show off the space it will occupy along Fair Oaks, albeit not the construction-filled interior." - Farley Elliott

"A more elevated Pasadena outpost opened in 2017 by the same operators, offering some menu classics alongside heartier, higher-end specialties such as beef stew, Spencer steak with roasted turnips, and fried chicken." - Matthew Kang

"A recently opened, more modern interpretation from the same ownership group, this Pasadena tavern is intended to complement the older family-run restaurant by offering an updated, contemporary take on the brand." - Farley Elliott
