Reviews for Smitty's Grill in Pasadena, CA
The 5 starts is for service. Let me start by saying I'm not a fan of the Smith Brothers. They only take an interest in the... community in so far as it will bring them attention, so I don't usually frequent their establishments. Not supportive ofnonprofits at all. HOWEVER, I want to give credit where it's due. A friend wanted to go to Smitty's for her birthday and weheld a small dinner party for her there. Our server, GUSTAVO, was outstanding. He was attentive, patient, eager to make ushappy. He's the kind of server you wish you experienced at every restaurant. Gustavo, if you see this, thank you for makingthe evening so pleasant.

Smitty’s feature classic American food served in an intimate setting. The menu has not really changed for the last 5 years.... The iron skillet corn bread, prime rib French dip sandwich and baby back ribs do not disappoint. The crab stuffed calamarispecial is underwhelming. The star of the dinner are the desserts. The key lime pie is tangy and sweet. The raspberry chocolatecake is guilty rich Read more
Ambience and service is the best I have experienced in a while, never had an empty cup and they accommodated everyone's needs.... The lobster roll was delicious, and I had the pork chop I would say it was okay, could have done more with the vegetable part ofthe dish. The chorizo mashed potatoes were a hit! Overall a great experience for a birthday party for 10+ people. Read more
Had a great time at Smitty's. Had the chicken pot pie. Very good! Large menu with a lot of items I'll be going back to try.
This Pasadena classic never disappoints! The drinks are strong, the ambiance is cozy and California cool ! You can imagine... Clark or Marilyn or Liz walking in and making their way to a corner circular booth! The outdoor seating reminds you thatbeautiful Pasadena is the perfect place to be - in January or June! My favorite is the chicken pot pie. While there areincredible fish and steak dishes, this chicken pot pie is something that hits home and makes me feel so good! Haha! Ifyou’re feeling indulgent - order the cornbread. There is a grandmother somewhere in Georgia who lost her recipe… and it wasfound at Smitty’s! It’s perfect for a Tuesday night, a date night or a family gathering! Enjoy this special place! Isure have! Read more
Wonderful service, quick food prep time, and friendly staff. The food was overall delicious, we tried the crab cake, salmon... salad, and chicken piccata. I was not a fan of the key lime pie :( Read more
My husband had their famous meatloaf and it was pretty good. The Cioppino was a bit fish but maybe because there was a lot of... fish in it. :) The bread that came with it was fresh and crispy. My son had the side of mac and cheese with ham and that wassuper cheesy and delicious. He demolished it. Read more
Went here for the first time to celebrate our cousin's anniversary. I loved the more intimate setting with the ambient lighting,... and then the tastiest versions of American food. I ordered the Ravioli of the Day (chicken, spinach, risotto) and my husbandordered the Chicken Pot Pie. The homemade potato chips are delicious and the dirty Martini's with the hand stuffed blue cheeseolives are mouth watering. Highly recommend coming here if you haven't already! Read more
