Gene’s Grinders is a great little local sandwich spot! The sandwiches are fresh, flavorful, and packed with quality ingredients. Friendly service, good portions, and that local neighborhood feel make it a place worth checking out. Definitely a hidden gem!

Hands down, one of the best homemade meatball sandwich around. I hear their pastrami would make The Hats slouch down in defeat, so that will be next on the to try list

Nice, family, environment... with added fun with the World Cup games on. The food is always tops. The bread they bake every morning is a great foundation, and they are not shy with toppings, no scales to limit portion sizes. And they only use quality ingredients. I was introduced to this place by a friend at their old location years ago... but I like the new location much better.

I've been coming here for nearly two years. I haven't had a bad day yet. The consistency of the food is better than those cookie cutter franchise spots and the service is some of the best in LA. The daily specials are amazing, especially Tuesday Chicken Breast. The serving sizes are rediculously large. The large sandwiches can easily feed and be cut into 3 adult portion sizes. The ingredients are fresh, as in that same day fresh. I walk by this place to go to work in the morning. They don't open till late morning, but they're inside working at 5am. Everytime I go there's a lot of new, but it moves crazy fast. Oh, and you can ask for the fries extra crispy!!! Where can you do that? You'll spend anywhere from $6 bucks to $14 for a huge meal witg drink. Amazingly good. Say hello, the staff are friendly.

Delicious and fresh meats. Friendly service clean and pleasant environment! It's been part of our community for many years. My favorite sandwich is the meatball! Large enough to share and fairly priced.

The food here is simple. I like that. you get exactly what you order there's no unexpected craziness or anything over the top. You get a simple but delicious sandwich. I ordered the Thursday special which was good but slightly lacking in salt and heat. I added my own hot sauce does a sandwich and a little bit of salt and it was perfect. I need some sort heat and I know that's not for everyone so by it's self it would be perfect. It's not a hot sandwich to begin with by the way, just a personal preference!

We had excellent sandwiches here for lunch. My 6" meatball grinder was so big I couldn't finish it in one sitting. I look forward to going back and trying some of the other menu items.

I worked a block away for almost 6 years and would eat here at least two times a month. They have the best hot grinders for sure, and the cold cuts aren't bad either. Fresh made meatballs, Italian sausage, milanesa, breaded chicken breast, and the best pastrami I've ever had (a million times). Now anytime I'm in the area I make a point to stop in.

Perfect spot for lunch. Nice little patio for you to eat outside. All the sandwiches are made to order with fresh ingredients. Super fast service. I recommend getting the pastrami. Don't be fooled, the portion sizes are huuuggge.. the small will do you just fine!! The large is perfect for two.
