Iconic diner for massive charbroiled burgers & breakfast burritos
"Head to this Pasadena institution for the most important meal of the day. Lucky Boy’s famed breakfast burrito — jam-packed with hash browns, eggs, cheese, and a choice of bacon, sausage, chorizo, or ham — spans eight inches long and weighs what feels like a pound. It’s been fueling Pasadena residents since 1973 along with its classic burgers, B.L.T.s, and patty melts. Take your burrito to go or eat it from the comfort of the restaurant’s very unfussy covered patio." - Mona Holmes
"Lucky Boy is a diner that’s been open since 1961. And if you’ve ever needed a hangover-busting breakfast in Pasadena, this is absolutely the place to get it. Their breakfast burrito (which is actually available all day) is little more than eggs, bacon, cheese, and potatoes, but what it lacks in originality, it makes up for in sheer girth. It’s the size of a newborn, and can improve how your stomach feels - no matter the time of day. photo credit: Jakob Layman" - Brett Keating
"Head to this Pasadena institution for the final (or any) meal of the day: place your order with one of the gruff fellas at the front window, wait for your number, and get Lucky Boy’s famed breakfast burrito—jam-packed with hash browns, eggs, cheese, and your choice of bacon, sausage, chorizo, or ham. Spanning eight inches and weighing close to two pounds, the flour-tortilla behemoth has been fueling residents since 1973." - Cathy Chaplin
"Shake Shack and local breakfast burrito favorite Lucky Boy’s are just up the street, as well." - Mona Holmes
"There’s no reason to go long without an awesomely over-stuffed breakfast burrito from Lucky Boy. Though the restaurant has reduced its hours, it’s still possible to grab a burrito for takeout or by using curbside service." - Cathy Chaplin
