Tip: A small order of fries can feed a family of four, and the pastrami sandwich is huge, enough for two people to split. Consider sharing!

Opinions de The Hat Pasadena
Local burger chain with brightly-lit, clean stores. Huge burgers, very good pastrami & chili. Our meal was nearly $50 for 2 pastrami chili cheeseburgers and a chili fries - lots of fries - with pastrami. If we had gone for double cheese burgers, each would have been less than $10.
Visiting The Hat in Pasadena, California, was a delightful experience that left a lasting impression, especially with their pastrami sandwich and chili fries. From the moment I stepped into The Hat, the welcoming atmosphere hinted at the culinary delights that awaited. The star of the show without a doubt was the pastrami sandwich. Generously stacked with perfectly seasoned and expertly cooked pastrami, each bite was a harmonious blend of flavors and textures. The meat was tender and flavorful, with just the right amount of fat to enhance its richness. Coupled with a soft yet sturdy bread that held its own, it was clear why this dish has garnered such acclaim. Not to be overshadowed, the chili fries were a revelation in their own right. The fries themselves were golden and crisp, providing a satisfying crunch with each mouthful. But it was the chili that elevated this dish to new heights. Rich, hearty, and packed with flavor, it complemented the potatoes beautifully, adding a comforting warmth that was both inviting and satisfying. Service at The Hat was impeccable, with friendly staff members who were both attentive and knowledgeable, adding to the overall positive experience. The ambiance of the restaurant, casual yet inviting, made it a perfect spot for both quick bites and leisurely meals. For anyone with a love for classic American comfort food, a visit to The Hat in Pasadena is a must. The pastrami sandwich and chili fries are standout dishes that offer a delicious testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality and flavor. It's a culinary experience that promises to delight and satisfy in equal measure.
Great pastrami hands down, I'm a total fan!
I haven’t been to a fast food restaurant this clean… as far back as I can remember. It’s evident the owners take pride in this place. The food is very good, it’s clean and well lit.
Classic southern California restaurant. Great food and super clean establishment. Excellent pastrami and the chili fries are fantastic. Be warned, the portions are big.
The Hat is a SoCal classic!! The pastrami dip is what it’s all about! Look at the picture. Nothing I can say is going to improve upon that. Go!!
If you're looking for subtle, delicate dining, keep driving. The Hat in Pasadena is where comfort food dreams go to get bigger, bolder, and absolutely better. This isn't just a sandwich shop—it's a Southern California institution dedicated to the art of excess. The Dish You Must Order: The star of the show, hands down, is the Pastrami Dip. Forget everything you thought you knew about pastrami; this sandwich is piled high with so much smoky, tender, peppery meat that you'll barely be able to close your jaw around it. It is pure, glorious indulgence. The Side Showstopper: Equally famous are the Pastrami Fries (or "Chili-Cheese Fries" if you're feeling wild). These aren't just an afterthought; the crinkle-cut fries are perfectly crispy and capable of holding up under a mountain of chili, cheese, or that signature sliced pastrami. A single order can easily feed a small army—or one very happy person. The Vibe: The atmosphere is pure, nostalgic old-school fast food—quick, efficient, and focused entirely on the massive portions. It’s a great, casual stop for lunch, dinner, or a late-night fix. In Short: The Hat delivers on its promise of "World Famous Pastrami." It’s an awesome, messy, and absolutely essential stop for anyone craving serious comfort food in Pasadena. Bring an appetite (and maybe a friend)!
One of the best pastrami sandwiches I've ever had. The pastrami, the bun is all amazing. I unfortunately don't live near one so I have to grab it when I'm driving by. Unfortunately I have no pictures because I immediately started eating it the moment I brought it to the table. 🤣
Stop for a bite to eat any time in LA area. Great food! Anything off the menu is a good pick. Good service, even when busy. Well known LA spot to eat, lunch is busy, but you'll still get your order pretty quick. A few locations throughout LA, so you can get your Hat menu fix, if in the area!
Hands off the best chili cheese fries in town! We tried their chili fries several times this year. Always the same and the best. The portion is huge! more than enough for 2 people. I love it with or without cheese. The fries are crispy enough, not mushy or over-crispy. The mexican cheese is just AMAZING. If you want a lighter version I am also obsessed with the tomato and pickles version as well!
Since my first visit as a kid in 1975 this place has never changed which is a comfort. We always get the Pastrami dip, onion rings, fries with chili and cheese on the side for better distribution and to make our own chili cheese onion fries. And whatever you do, don't forget to get an Orange Bang, also you get 1 refill free. From the first bite of food I'm transported back to being a kid. We go to the one on Lake.
This place is such a a steal. All of the reviews that said a pastrami sandwich and a gravy fry is enough for two people to split were right! The two of us could not have eaten more. That meals we had a full dinner for $20 for two! The pastrami dip sandwich was great. The gravy fries were fantastic. The gravy is delicious and the fries are nicely done so that they can stand up to the gravy.
Big portions for a great price. A place where you can get a loaded pastrami without breaking the bank, the sandwich is stuffed with delicious thin sliced portions of beef. Very popular place with great smiling staff and super fast service with a smile. Parking lot was full and it’s kid friendly.
This place has a really good pastrami sandwich. They have special sodas you don't see often, and the sandwiches are always fat. I ordered a small fry and a small onion ring, and they were huge. The fries weren't too brag worthy, but the onion rings were crisp and delicious.
Yummmy!!! Don’t forget to ask about their secret menu, we saw pastrami chili cheese fries on our way out that were on secret menu!! I got Turkey sandwich and added avocado, so good!! Hubby got pastrami dip but hot dip on the side so it wasn’t soggy. He ordered fries and wow plenty enough for 2-3 people!! Clean place delicious food and service was great!! Highly recommend!!
There are many locations to chose from but my FAV is Pasadena. Staff is super friendly and they always get the order right. It's fast its clean it's REALLY REALLY tasty. This is in my top 3 pastrami places in So Cal..... ENJOY 😉 12/27/23-UPDATE: Had a Ham & Swiss for the first time today.....Wowzers 👍🏻....... it was pretty RAD 😍
This restaurant is so very clean, not even funny. The staff is so nice and happy with big smiles. The food is AWESOME! I think The Hat has the best pastrami. The pastrami chili cheese fries are FIRE. I REALLY WISH THEY WOULD COME TO MY HOME TOWN! IF you ever have a chance to stop in a try, I highly recommendyou do.
Good food. The fries they give you are very generous. Had the "wet"gravy fries for the first time today and they were great. I was told to get them topped with pastrami next time. update: went again today and had a double cheeseburger for the first time, got an pastrami sandwich to eat tomorrow and shared some chili cheese fries with my wife...... SO DAMN GOOD. They really care about quality and consistency with the product as I watched the kitchen prep the food and each order delicately but swiftly out together!

The food portions are amazing. The service is great. The ambience is awesome. I highly recommend it if you're starving. This is the spot to go to.
Their pastrami dip is great, the meat is piled on, and is a meal in itself. Also got an order of onion rings, very good as well.

It's ALL they say it is. I personally luv pastrimi and they have it down. It is 1 of the BEST. Flavorful not dry , juicy. Very good service and their system is efficient. We went at lunch time, had time to eat there and get back to work on time. Fries were a lil under cooked but overall it was good.
Stopped in for a quick bite. Always clean and bright dining area. The shared pastrami was great as always. We were looking forward to sharing an order of chili cheese fries as well (huge portion suitable to share), but was disappointing. The fries were barely done and as a result turned to mush. Will try to remember to ask for "well done" fries next time. There was plenty of chili and cheese, however lacking in flavor.
The cost of the food is very reasonable. The pastrami dip is very good, fries are massive. I recommend this place everyone.
We got a recommendation to come here since its known for its pastrami so I was really looking forward to my meal. It was ok, they give you a generous portion of pastrami as it overflows the bread, but I found the pastrami to not be super flavorful and actually kind of on the dry side. I had to add extra swiss and a ton of yellow mustard to get it up to snuff for my tastes in pastrami sandwiches.

Very nice and clean location, very efficient service. First visit I enjoyed a "Pastrami-Sandwich" this was the best!! Today I ordered the "Steak -Sandwich" totally the opposite. They should change the name to "Lettuce -Sandwich" it had a miniature piece of burn meat. See photos and stick with the Pastrami
Hi, I’ve enjoyed The Hat in the past, but my recent pastrami sandwich was extremely disappointing. The meat tasted boiled out and flavorless, almost as if it had been over-steamed and lost all seasoning. It was inedible, and I had to throw it away. I’m hoping you can address this quality issue for the price you pay it should taste flawless.
