Colonial Kitchen - Bistro in San Marino - 1110 Huntington Dr, USA

Great food, Service and Atmosphere! One of my favorite local spots. I like going around 2pm for lunch! Never too crowded then.

I never like leaving bad reviews but my extremely delayed takeout experience at Colonial Kitchen warranted this. I was hosting an event and put in an order 2 days before my event to make sure the restaurant knew beforehand. I received a phone call the day before my event letting me know that my order was confirmed. Great! Everything seemed to be running smoothly. On the day of my event, I called to see if I could adjust my pick up time 30 minutes earlier or if I could dine in at the time I put instead of picking up. I was told that both options were not possible; I could understand as this was a last minute request. I went to pick up my order at the time I had requested and the order was not ready. I waited for 45 minutes before my order was brought out. No explanations or apologies were given. The delay completely derailed my event. I make it a point to support local businesses and I understand that delays happen but the lack of communication and the fact that my order was 45 minutes late highlights the lack of customer service. Do not recommend for anyone who needs to pick up in a timely fashion.

I really wanted to like this place, the staff were very friendly and accomodating but the food was sub par, I ordered the biscuits and gravy and the pigs in blankets. I sent back the biscuits because the gravy tasted like it came from a can and had no flavour it was almost a rue and the pigs in blankets need to be made with bigger sausages, the tiny chipolata links used just got lost in the huge thick fluffy pancackes. I liked that we could sit outside with the dog :)

Went for brunch, very nice and extensive menu. They even have an old fashion lunch counter. Very efficient wait staff. I had the salsa omelet with a funky potato style hash with peppers and onions, very good. My wife ordered the pancakes and she liked them. '

Restaurant is a quint sandwich bistro with a bar. Food was good. Service was slow to almost non existent and the staff didn't seem to know details about their basic items. IE: when asked what kind of tomatoes were on the house salad their response was, "there are no tomatoes." Then the salad arrived with sliced tomatoes. Hmmm. Also, we had to snag silverware from the empty table next to us after they delivered said salad without any silverware. They also did not show again until delivering our food. Then not again until 15 minutes after we were all done went up and asked the bartender for the check. Maybe it was an off day, though they were not crowded. Basically, did the job for lunch but probably won't be back.

I can't believe I grew up in the San Gabriel area and had never been here before. This is a great breakfast spot and I will definitely be back. The food was delicious. 😋

I had an amazing breakfast French toast sandwich with homemade jelly. The location is in a very nice neighborhood, which makes for a perfect breakfast brunch date. Plenty of Parking which makes it easy to visit. Great service will definitely be back.

Colonial Kitchen Restaurant is a diner that serves good breakfast located in the middle of San Marino district. It's indoor atmosphere is very welcoming, like you're at home. As you enter the restaurant, its foyer is decorated with glass cabinets housing figurines and Elvis Presley commemorative plates; like stepping into an eccentric's personal memorabilia collection. I came here for breakfast on an early Sunday morning and ordered their pancake combo (3 stacks pancakes, 2 eggs and 2 sausage links) and coffee. I am selective in taste when it comes to pancakes. CK's buttermilk pancakes are soft, fluffy and light in texture. Similarly, their coffee, sausage and eggs taste good. Indoor seating is well organized, neat, clean and well lit. Moreover, the counter bar leather green seats are very comfortable and evenly spacious. Service was moderately fast. Staff were very attentive, friendly, nice and professional. Prices are relatively $$ affordable. Parking space is of midsize. Overall, I had a good experience and highly recommend Colonial Kitchen for breakfast.
