I really wanted a burger today so I googled best burger's in Los Angeles and came up with the Citysearch Best Hamburgers 2007. The Audience winner was Father's Office which I hated, but the Editorial winner was Pie n' Burger, and Kelly was interested in the pie, so we took Chelsea and went. The place is a little East of Lake Avenue in Pasadena on the North side and has a few parking spots in back, but you will probably have to find street parking. It is a tiny, funky little place with a long counter and a few tables in the back, and a menu on the wall that has only had the prices change since this place opened.
The burgers are top notch for a burger on a frialator, it is still pretty juicy, but that might be the thousand island dressing and the amazing grilled onions, and the heaps of pickles and lettuce all wrapped in wax paper, but as messy as can be. And even worse once you put the ketchup it needs on it. Quite tasty. Sure, not my favorite medium rare, but still quite delicious. I would certainly have one of these tasty burgers again.
We also got an order of fries, which were OK though a little overdone.
And of course we had to try the pie, so we had one piece A La Mode, though they saved me half since I was out of Lactose pills. We had a boysenberry pie, and it was delicious. Tasty and fantastic, and freshly made. And they make tons of kinds. In fact I will certainly have this again once I lose some weight.
The service is good and they give you heaps of napkins and quickly replenish your drinks. This place is a trippy looking old place, one of those really funky LA dives that are so wonderful and so make Los Angeles. This is a must try for lovers of burgers and pie. Delicious!!!
