2 cheese grilled cheese

This isn't my first time coming here on a rainy day for their Tomato Basil Garlic Bisque, and it never disappoints! It's so good with their grilled cheese sandwich. OMG, the cheese pull was crazy! You can tell they use good cheese. We got our grilled cheese shortly after the bread and bisque came out, and everything was delicious. It was surprisingly not too busy when we went, which was nice. Honestly, I love the food here, and even the pickle was perfect with that satisfying crunch! This place is always a good choice for a homey meal on a rainy day.

The place still had that mid-day hum when we walked in, like everyone was quietly negotiating their lunch break at the same time. I stopped by Berge's for a casual lunch, nothing ambitious, just something warm and easy. We ordered the grilled cheese, a turkey and avocado sandwich, and a cup of tomato soup. The grilled cheese was decent -- nicely toasted on the outside with a good golden crust, but the inside felt pretty standard, nothing especially rich or gooey to make it memorable. The turkey and avocado sandwich was fresh enough, with clean flavors and a soft roll, though it leaned a bit plain overall. The avocado added some creaminess, but the sandwich as a whole didn't quite stand out. The tomato soup was warm and smooth, comforting in that familiar way, though it tasted more like a reliable classic than something house-made with a distinct twist. Service was quick and efficient. Our food came out without much of a wait, and everything was handled smoothly. No extra frills, but no issues either. Overall, Berge's feels like a dependable lunch stop when you want something simple and fast, even if it's not especially memorable. It's the kind of place that works well for a no-fuss midday bite -- just maybe not the spot you'd go out of your way for.

Great food. Deli sandwiches are made to order and fresh. Owner is so nice. All the chefs have worked there for years. Great soup and many choices of sandwiches and drinks. They have a dessert freezer full of goodies. Not fancy just good food. Quick and easy. Nice to get it to go for a picnic etc. But interior is good to eat inside too.

My hiusband has been coming to Berge's since he was a kid. This family owned restaurant had been open since 1971. The restaurant is cute and decorated with nostalgia over the years. Service is counter service and the bring the food to your table. We got our food rather quickly. I had the avocado and turkey sandwich and a side of potato salad. My husband got the grilled roast beef sandwich in sourdough and tomato basil garlic bisque. All were delicious!

Took me awhile to try this spot out. It's a local spot known for their sandwiches and tomato soup. It's actually pretty good. Everything seemed fresh. But nothing really stood out to me.

Classic local favorite sandwich shop with the same comfortable throwback vibe as when it first came to the scene in 1972! I had the honor of having my order taken by the original patriarch at the counter, and she even asked if I needed a receipt. There's a reason Berge's has been around for over 50 years and the food did not disappoint. Enjoyed the classic tuna melt with grilled sour dough and my friend had the roast beef. The tomato bisque was also excellent. Some comfortable seating in a classic weathered venue. A great treat following our Angeles forest hike to the falls.

Found from glowing reviews on yelp so I came here mid visit to Descanso gardens. The shop was super simple, there is parking in the back and the door was open so you don't have to walk around and enter from the front. Toasted pastrami sandwich - So good. They weigh out the pastrami and give it a good sear before throwing it on the sandwich. You get so much more flavour from doing that. The bread was toasted well and every was so good together! Would recommend! Avo roast beef sandwich - Slightly different from their famous avocado turkey sando. Avocado was super refreshing and they had the right amount of mayo to keep the flavours together. Roast beef stuck out a bit, so I would probably go back to the turkey to keep the balance.

Berge's is old-school in the best way. Wood paneling, cozy vibe, nothing fancy.Just solid sandwiches done right. I tried the grilled artichoke sandwich (on what I think was buttery sourdough) and it was crispy, gooey, flavorful, and it even held up after I took it to the park to eat. The grilled artichokes were soft and tasty, the cheese melted just right, and paired with jalapeño chips it was the perfect $10 lunch. What really stood out though was the service. nstead of just calling my name, they walked over and personally handed me my order. A small detail, but honestly you don't see that much anymore and it made the experience feel that much better. Definitely a spot worth stopping into if you're in La Cañada.

Was really looking forward to this place after the positive reviews, unfortunately what I ordered, I was not impressed. Granted, I didn't get what was most recommended, but based off of that sandwich, I probably will not be going back. First of all, the most recommended sandwich is their pastrami, and I happen to get their French dip. I am a sucker for a great French dip, and unfortunately, this would do not live up to my expectations. And when I say it did not meet up to my expectations, I don't mean that I'm being a snob, I mean the "Au Jus" was incredibly salty. I'm sure this was a one off, but unfortunately, I happen to get it. I'm not saying that I would never go back, yelp hasn't let me down. So I would definitely consider going back here again, unfortunately I don't live close to this area so the likelihood of that happening is very slim. Overall, without the dip, the sandwich was really good. Now I wish I would've ordered the pastrami so I could give a better review in my opinion since that's what most people talk about, but unfortunately, I happen to choose this dish and I wish that I chose pastrami instead.

They said yes, but one female employee had a very unwelcoming expression. When I explained that this was my first time ordering from Jersey Mike's and that I wasn't familiar with the menu, she simply said, "Yeah," and added that they were technically closed but would make an exception this time. I chose my meat and bread as instructed and was told to wait outside the store. Despite the uncomfortable interaction, I still left a 20% tip that was $4 something. Not only did I receive no thank-you, but my sandwich came without any napkins. When I asked for some, the employee handed me napkins, including crumpled ones. I understand that employees want to go home on time, especially on a slow day with bad weather. However, if you are no longer accepting customers, lock the door or clearly communicate that you have stopped taking orders for the night. Don't tell customers you are making an exception and then treat them as if they are an inconvenience for being there. I don't know whether the employee was angry, frustrated, or simply having a bad day, but that is no excuse for treating a customer this way. If the store was closing early or had an early last call due to slow business, a simple explanation and a little courtesy would have gone a long way. I left a 20% tip despite the uncomfortable experience, and I don't think expecting a basic "thank you" and proper service is asking too much. Customers should not be made to feel unwelcome for placing an order while the store says it is still open. This experience left a very poor first impression, and the staff's attitude needs serious improvement.

The pastrami sandwich was a 5/10 at best. I wasn't a fan of the texture of the pastrami, and the meat itself lacked any particularly memorable flavor. The turkey pesto was easily the best of the three. The bread was good, the ingredients worked well together, and the sandwich was nicely assembled. It was the only one I actually enjoyed. Overall, the sandwiches looked much better than they tasted. With so many good sandwich spots around, I wouldn't return.
