Editorial reviews from the web (2)

"Breakfasts are the bomb" at this Pasadena "institution" (and its newer Valencia spin-off) where "fresh, tasty" American fare comes served in a "quaint" "old-fashioned cottage" by a "personable" crew; just know, "it's mobbed on weekends", so "come early" or try it for lunch.

Marston's Restaurant Review

If Aunt Bea had set out to conquer the Mayberry restaurant scene, she would have built a charming little cottage just like this. With its railed porch, frilly curtains and dried flowers, this homey eatery exudes warmth. Otis Marston and wife Sally opened their eponymous restaurant just north of Old Town in 1988, and Jim McCardy has run Marston’s since 2001. For breakfast, the old-fashioned...

Cool little hidden gem. Found this place online because I was looking for a brunch spot!

They've got a pretty decent sized menu and have items such as corn flake covered toast, usually have some type of seafood/special sandwich, salads, and various omelets. I ordered some type of crab sandwich which was one of their daily specials and it was delicious! It had some type of mayo-based sauce with...

Marston's has apparently been around forever, and it brings out all the feelings of anti-establishment annoyance out of me. There simply isn't anything special about this place. It's a random...

If you drive on Walnut in Pasadena on the weekend & see a mob scene outside, you've probably hit Marstons. I've been a fan of this place for a long time, but even since the arrival of Baby C I've...

Business description (8) view all

Marston's Restaurants can be found at E Walnut St 151. The following is offered: Restaurants: Breakfast. The entry is present with us since Sep 9, 2010 and was last updated on Nov 14, 2013. In Pasadena there are 8 other Restaurants: Breakfast . An overview can be found here.

Breakfast/Brunch: This cottage-like eatery offers the best breakfast and brunch options in Pasadena. Delight in sourdough French toast rolled in corn flakes, spinach-and-bacon omelets, macadamia-nut pancakes, and chicken-cilantro sausage while taking comfort in the pleasant Western-themed decor and friendly service. There may be a wait on weekends, but the rewards are handsome.

It was in 1987 when Sally and Otis Marston first opened the doors to the charming Craftsmen cottage breakfast and lunch restaurant known as "Marston's" in Pasadena. With the change of ownership in November, 2000, Jim McCardy, Chef-Owner committed himself to the same high quality of food and service for which Marston's has always been known.

Marston's is famous in the Pasadena area for great breakfasts and lunches. Weekends you can see customers lining up for our very popular breakfasts and brunches. The star of the breakfast menu is our signature "Fantastic French Toast", thick slices of sourdough dipped in egg batter, rolled in corn flakes and served with fresh berries & syrup.

Marston's offers Classic American Cuisine in a friendly home style setting at two locations in Pasadena and now in Valencia.

Tips about this business (2)

Where to Sit: The front porch may remind you of Grandma's house, but the roar of traffic passing by on Walnut Street won't. Take a table inside.

The Extras: The restaurant opens some Fridays from 6pm to 9:30pm for special cooking classes and holiday meals.
