Shakey's Pizza Parlor - San Gabriel

Those who know me know I'm obsessed with all things Skakeys. You don't visit for anything but tasty pizza and a fun evening out. Like all locations, the restaurant in general is nostalgic of my childhood. The pizza, the mojos, the chicken. Life is good at Shakeys.

I stopped by Shakey's for lunch not too long ago. This is usually one of my favorite places to go for a pizza lunch whenever somebody suggests it. Their Bunch of Lunch deal consists of their salad bar, awesome pizza selections, and a bunch of different side such as mojo potatoes, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and a lot of other things. The salad at the salad bar is decent at times but I know in the past sometimes it was kind of iffy but usually it's fine. Use your best judgement. There's a lot of elaborate toppings and vegetables. Then around the corner there's a lot of different pizzas usually they have a good four or five different types of pizza that they've made. And they also have garlic bread, spaghetti, and spaghetti sauce. I usually seek out the mojo potatoes and fried chicken. They usually are pretty consistent and do a great job with those signature dishes. Beverages are not included and neither are desserts. They do have cinnamon bread sticks though. There is a fairly large lot around the building but it's also narrow at some points where it can be hit or miss.

We came for bunch of lunch and it did not disappoint. It was around $34 for 2 adults 1 drink for lunch. It was extremely packed but the staff did an outstanding job doing their best to make sure food was constantly coming out and most importantly everything was clean. Daisy was very friendly and attentive! The service alone was honestly 5 stars, great job Shakey's team and thank you for a delicious lunch!!

02/02/2023 Stopped by Shakey's today for Bunch-A-Lunch. I love this location it's my choice. My friends prefer the Monterey Park location. I'm not a big mojo's eater, but according to my friends they make the mojo's different here. To me mojo's are mojo's I can't taste the difference. The San Gabriel location has a bigger salad bar than Monterey Park more choices equals more satisfaction. They usually have at least 4-6 different kinds of pizza on hand. My favorites are the Veggie pizza and the Jalapeno/sausage/pepperoni pizza. I like the roasted chicken vs the fried chicken, and sometimes a few mojo's. Be careful of the spaghetti, mashed potatoes and mojo potatoes if you're diabetic, a quick rise in glucose level can be deadly=Dead Kenny just kidding but seriously watch your potions. A big plus for me is they have Diet Pepsi, really dislike Diet Coke squeeze a few lemons into the drink and I'm all set.

Pizza is expensive AF!!!! And pizza sucks with smaller Portions . Never coming back to any shakeys whatsoever!!
