Burger Bargain: Get a Tops Special for 60 Cents This Week

To celebrate their 60th anniversary, The Original Tops on East Colorado in Pasadena will be rolling back the price of their Tops Special Burger, which means diners can land a delicious deal: The burger will be a mere 60 cents Friday and Saturday (October 19-20).
It's one of the most popular items on the menu at Tops, which opened in Pasadena in 1952. The Tops Special is a quarter-pound old fashioned hamburger, and is served with lettuce, fresh tomatoes, sweet red onion, dill pickle and homemade Thousand Island Dressing, and is topped with Tops' Pastrami, mustard and American cheese.
Of course, it's not exactly a burger free-for-all--there are a few restrictions. The burgers are available while supplies last, the limit is one Tops Special per guest, and is available for dine-in and take-out only (not in the drive-thru).
If it's been a while since you've had a burger in Pasadena, Friday and Saturday might be good days to take care of that!
At LAist, we believe in journalism without censorship and the right of a free press to speak truth to those in power. Our hard-hitting watchdog reporting on local government, climate, and the ongoing housing and homelessness crisis is trustworthy, independent and freely accessible to everyone thanks to the support of readers like you.
But the game has changed: Congress voted to eliminate funding for public media across the country. Here at LAist that means a loss of $1.7 million in our budget every year. We want to assure you that despite growing threats to free press and free speech, LAist will remain a voice you know and trust. Speaking frankly, the amount of reader support we receive will help determine how strong of a newsroom we are going forward to cover the important news in our community.
We’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission.
Thank you for your generous support and belief in the value of independent news.
