Houston's - American restaurant in Pasadena - 320 S Arroyo Pkwy, USA

We walked from downtown Pasadena on Colorado blvd. Our visit was near 5pm on a Sunday. Our hostess said a 45min wait for 2 persons. We waited less than 30 min to be seated. The design of the restaurant was contemporary with low lights and an upscale vibe. The hostess, the bartender, the server and any staff we encountered were just a delight and professional. Our meal Consisted of an artichoke appetizer, broccoli, mashed potatoes, steak and some wine. The steak was cooked as requested, medium rare but lacked in flavor compared to other steaks elsewhere in this price range. Thanks for the great service and romantic setting. We had a good time.

I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at the Houston's in Pasadena. From the moment we entered, we were warmly greeted and quickly seated by our friendly and attentive host. The restaurant's location in the heart of Old Pasadena provided a charming, vibrant backdrop for our meal. Everything we ordered from the diverse American menu was spectacular. The Ruby salad was so fresh and flavorful. The Pan Asian salad with barbecue pork was phenomenal; the fusion of flavors was perfect. We also split an order of the popular coconut shrimp rolls, a Houston's specialty. Our server was extremely polite, attentive, and knowledgable about the menu offerings. She provided spot-on recommendations when we had questions and efficiently kept our water glasses full. From start to finish, the service matched the phenomenal food. I highly recommend dining at Houston's when in Pasadena. The convenient location, delicious and creative menu options, and exceptional service all came together to provide a five-star restaurant experience that I won't soon forget! This Houston's location is a local gem that's certainly worth a visit.

Great Dinning experience. Food was very good and high-quality. Drinks are highly recommended. Service is exelent and very attentive. Prime rib stake was cooked perfect!!

Grilled Artichokes are calling me to come back! It’s the best thing ever! Right after chemo I went straight to Houston’s to join my sister and her friends We had a wonderful time catching up with everyone in this beautiful restaurant We always ordered the same thing over and over Each person has her own favorite to come back to 🤩 But we are all love the Grilled Artichokes We’ll come back for sure for another artichokes 😋😋😋

Okay okay the hype is real. My brother in law has been raving about this place for weeks so we decided to make a reservation and check it out. The place was packed for a Monday Night and we only waited about 15 mins to be seated. The server Angelica was great and attentive. I ordered the Ribs that were by far the best ribs and coleslaw I have eaten in Los Angeles. Now to be fair I don’t eat Ribs everywhere I go but this place has it down. Literally falls off of the bone and melts in your mouth. The coleslaw is made perfect and not like that runny watered down coleslaw you get at most places. Overall I give it 5 stars all around and will be back for more Ribs. This is a must try in Pasadena 💪

Great food and drinks at Houston's. The grilled artichoke hearts are a must have! I had the Hawaiian ribeye which was delicious. Make reservations. I recommend this location for small groups as the seating space is small. There is an option to sit at the bar as well.

So fantastic! My favorite place to dine! I do miss the smoked salmon 😩 they used to have on appetizers menu. But still great 👍 place for lunch and dinner!

Where do I start, although our wait time was 2 hours note to self next time make reservations through open table. But once we got seated it was VIP treatment for the night. Our server JESS I love him...I wonder if it's possible to request to sit in his section on my next visit. I love the way all servers tend to you in your head servers absence. Compliments to management for that. Our food simply delicious!! I will be back real soon!! Great Resturant!! Great Experience! Great Atmosphere!!
