Hawg Heaven BBQ & Gastro Pub 119 East Colorado Boulevard, Pasadena, CA 91105

"Needed a place to eat for lunch with family as we were visiting the area. The food and service ended up being fantastic! This was a surprise since the restaurant was empty. The brisket was tender and flavorful. The chicken crispy chicken sandwich was great. Cornbread was a treat. Sides were good. The experience exceeded expectations"

"We had the tri tip plate and the two meat plate with sausage and pulled pork. We also tried the beans, Mac and cheese and potato salad. The three meats were good but the sides were just okay. Friendly service but the vibe was weird since the restaurant was pretty empty."

"If you're looking for delicious BBQ in Old Town with friendly service then Hawg Heaven is your spot! They have both combo plates and a la carte options with music acts scheduled throughout the week. Parking structure is located across the street on Arroyo Parkway."

"I was summoned to serve at the Pasadena Court House for Jury Duty. What does that have to do with this establishment? Nothing. Other than the fact that California gives you $15 a day for your service and that this restaurant is a short 2 block walk from the courthouse. At Hawg Heaven, you will find the most amazing $12 smash burger. For the past 2 weeks Eric has been serving me this burger every day while I have served in my civic duty - it has been nothing but consistently delicious. -The smash burger is amazing and a fantastic value compared to other surrounding eateries. -The vibe is calm and friendly. -Eric is a joy. -There's a 2 for 1 happy hour. In conclusion, if you've been chosen to serve on a Jury duty in Pasadena, dont be too bummed. Head over to Hawg Heaven to have a fantastic "government provided" lunch. Even if you're not doing your civic duty, give them a try. The food's quality is enough for me to come back again once the trial is long over."

"5 star service and food. So many places now days rely on sauces and dips instead of incorporating flavor in their food. This place knows how it is suppose to be. The service was superb. Generous music performance in an intimate atmosphere. Wow. Not what I expected when I saw BBQ or the name Hawg Heaven. Dessert was like a fancy restaurant."
