$-$$$, American, Pasadena
Fodor's Review:
Straightforward American fare is what Smitty's is all about. Black-and-white photos of Joltin' Joe, Ike, and a young Liz Taylor crowd the walls. You can depend on the steaks (half the price of a high-end steak house yet nearly as satisfying), but you'll also find respectable mac and cheese, barbecued ribs, creamed spinach, and corn bread baked in an iron skillet. If you're not in the mood for a fancy meal but don't feel like slumming it, Smitty's is the ideal compromise.
