Our rolls are baked fresh and never frozen. Crispy outside, soft inside, built to hold every bite the way it should.
We use high-quality deli meats and real cheeses. No filler. No shortcuts. Just flavor that shows up.
You don’t stay around this long by accident. Decades of craft have gone into perfecting every grinder.
Not a chain. Not corporate. Just a family that takes pride in every sandwich we serve.

What a great deal. Their small sandwich can easily feed a hungry adult. Large is definitly enough for 2 adults at lunch time. In my house a small was enough for 1 kid and 1 adult. We order our fries extra crispy. Lots of variety on the menu. We usually go for the hot pastrami and Gene's combo. There is outside and inside seating. Or just walk up the street and enjoy your sandwich at Library park.![]()

Once you have experienced Gene's Grinders, Subway will never do. Loads of beef instead of where is the beef...one hearty and tasteful sandwich![]()

The chicken sandwich (available on Tuesday and Wednesday) is SO good. The chicken is similar to chicken parmigiana but the breading in much lighter and weakness perfectly. I love that sandwich.![]()

The food is Awesome! The ABSOLUTE BEST MEATBALL Sandwich I've ever had..Better than Mom's! Great, fast service and clean tables..I'm honestly surprised the place isn't packed with a line out the door. Duartes best kept secret. We drive from San Dimas. Worth the drive!![]()

Besides getting to order fries with my sandwich (which sandwich shops never do), their sandwiches are sooo good! Super fresh and I love to ask for chili's on the side. The service is great and never misses. Definitely recommend!!![]()

Excellent sandwiches and right now there's a BOGO deal if you order thru their instagram page. I've had a meatball sandwich here and a kielbasa sandwich and both were so tasty. Service is very fast. Bread and sauces are fresh. Come here for a great sandwich.![]()

Wonderful, wonderful! Used to frequent Genes when we were in High School (many many many years ago). Food is still great and employees are the very pleasant. We drove 375 miles just to eat here!![]()

Fresh bread every day, they make their own huge meatballs, pastrami not super salty which was amazing, and fresh french fries every time. Super nice staff. Can't beat it!![]()

This review is for the Kielbasa special. Long time Gene's customer here 30+ years and this is the first time I ordered a kielbasa sandwich. It was perfect. The he snap of the sausage and toppings is great. Honestly it's right up there with the Pastrami Grinder for my favorite. I can't believe it took this long. No pictures, I was too busy enjoying it.![]()

Pretty amazing grinders and portion sizes are BIG. Needless to say, we ordered 2 larges and each grinder made 2 meals for us. Fresh ingredients, great flavors, and considering it was the lunch rush hour, they were pretty quick. This was our first time here but definitely not our last!
