Hands down the best subs in Monrovia! The Tuesday special fried chicken sub is my wife's and my favorite sandwich of all time, no joke. We get it at least twice a month. We share a large and she gets her half with no mayo and they very kindly wrap them separately most of the time without even asking. If you like subs, do yourself a huge favor and give Gene's a try, I can pretty much guarantee you won't regret it. Also make sure to get a card that they stamp with each purchase. Every 10 you get a free sandwich. Enjoy!

Best classic American grinder spot in the area. Fast service, food is consistent, and customer service is always on point. I always leave a tip for good service and they're always appreciative of it.

They make the best pastrami sandwich I have ever had. The person at the counter was very polite and friendly when we picked up our order. Will be back.

Great local sandwich spot that’s a bit hidden on Myrtle. Found it on a whim when dropping some packages off at UPS up the street and decided to give it a try. The bread is the standout and is made fresh every morning. I usually get the genes special cold grinder and it is the perfect ratio of meat/cheese/veggies/bread and the large is a big enough portion for two meals. Look forward to having additional sandwiches on next visits. Don’t forget to ask for a punch card to get a free small sandwich after your 10th.

I have to believe that this is the best grinder sandwich, place in the whole entire Southern section of LA County. Nothing beats jeans, grinders for quantity as well, as quality with a smile.

Pastrami was excellent. Parking available, no long waits, bread was soft and food was warm. Spacious and clean. I highly recommend

Don't sleep on this local gem! There's a reason theyve been in business all this time and there's a following for these sandwiches.
That being said, EVERYTHING is delicious. The produce is fresh and tasty. No wilted old yellow and white "lettuce" here 😀

Small hole in the wall old sandwich shop.  But the pastrami sandwich and fries were great!!  Coming back for more.  Small indoor seating area.

Good small restaurant for submarine sandwiches (a.k.a Grinders) I had the large pastrami grinder and an order of fries. The service is pretty quick and the pastrami was tasty. It wasn't soggy or oily like other places. I have also gotten the meatball grinder, but I prefer the pastrami over the meatball. Something about the bread soaking up the meatball sauce doesn't do it for me. The sandwich is big enough that I usually just eat 1/2 of the sandwich for lunch and save for the other half for a snack at a later time.

I don't understand why this place doesn't have 5 stars. I'm a local and I've been coming here for years (at least 7). I always leave here happy, satisfied, and eager to come back. Okay, so you are paying for a pricey sandwich but what you are buying is QUALITY (not to mention size-- they pack their sandwiches up). One thing is for sure I'll never stop coming here and they can always count on my business. Delicious & AMAZING.
