Editorial Review for Auntie Em's Kitchen – by Martha Burr
In Short
Colorful and kid friendly (there's plenty of paper and crayons at each table), this Eagle Rock diner is a family favorite. At lunchtime, the front takeout counter is jamming with a bustling neighborhood crowd. On weekends it can get a little crazy as folks flood in for open-faced breakfast sandwiches, huge salads, soups and pastas. Popular items include a fat BLT with avocado and sprouts, piled-high Cobb salad, orzo pasta with kalamata olives, and lamb shepherd's pie. But it's not just the savory staples that keep the crowds coming--people from all over drive miles for the bakery's famous red velvet and coconut cupcakes.

Arrived for dinner around 6 PM and the employees were far more intent on eating their meals, than serving the few customers in the place. Tables were dirty, most of the specials listed on the board were not available (how about taking a minute to erase them?) and the staff was slow and disinterested. Maybe this place was on the Food Network, but they are difinitely off the map now. If you even think of going here, I suggest you continue on down the 134 FWY, just a few minutes more, and enjoy the great and reasonably priced restaurants in Pasadena (where there is always parking available).
Pros: Hummm? NONE!
Cons: Bad service, unclean and overall poorly managed establishment

I arrived there at around 5 p.m. to beat what I thought would be the Friday dinner crowd. when i walked in the employee's out numbered the patrons six to two. as i looked for an open table i found many, one of which was clean enough to touch. the employee's were eating and could not be bothered with an actual paying customer. When a lady did decide that maybe i wanted service she came over and took my drink order, iced tea, sweetner please, "we're out" ok i will have the Quiche, "We're out" ok the roast beef "we're out" ok so i order a sandwich. In the meantime one of the employee's turns some god awful head banger music on and decides he can sing to it to further my glorious dining experience, WRONG! So myself with my new headache now have moved out side, choked down the meal, overpaid for it said,"I'm out! You're out Auntie Em! You're out of a customer. I bet your employee's dont even notice till you tell them "we're out" of business.............
Pros: Pros? not even!
Cons: All
