    This restaurant setting has a casual, no-frills, unpretentious atmosphere. I do have to say it was very clean. The sandwiches are good and they don't hold back on the meats. The lady at the counter was a little dry but not rude. The outside is kind of shady but don't get fooled by it. Go in and give them a try.

    Pastrami and cheese 12 inch
    Travis P.

    I'd define this as a gem of a hole in the wall. First off the place is kind of dirty and it kinda looks like a house. When it comes to the food though the quality is top notch. French Fries - crispy golden brown, perfectly seasoned (9/10) Hoagie Steak and Cheese Hot Sub - this is an absolute must get. The meat was a tad sweet and tangy but also had this good balance of salt. With the vegetables and cheese really makes this a complete sandwich. (10/10) Chicken Teriyaki Bowl - this is a standard bowl but honestly it was pretty tasty. Seemed like fresh chicken breast smothered in sauce. Basic but quality ingredients. (8/10) I live around the area and this is going to be my new goto sandwich place, it's that good. Small parking lot, hole in the wall dining area, delicious food. Come check it out!!

    Onion rings!
    Clarissa T.

    Got fried onion rings and a pastrami sandwich to share with a friend, the total came out to be $15 and was the perfect amount for 2 peoplr. The pastrami sandwich was a bit too salty for me but otherwise delicious. I love how thick the pastrami cuts are. The onion rings were super crispy and hot. Undersalted but balanced out the saltiness of the pastrami. For a Saturday lunch it was pretty empty so despite the small parking lot there was plenty of parking available. The decor inside seems dated and could use an upgrade. Staff is friendly and patient.

    Hidden gem in El Monte. Don't let the outside fool you. Family owned sandwich shop that keeps its prices low. Don't go to Jersey mikes when you can come here. Better bread and more protein. Order your sandwiches to go for your next dodger game or sporting event

    Good food. I ordered a cold sandwich which was delicious. Also a chicken teriyaki bowl. I really enjoyed them. They have very reasonable prices. I definitely go back to try different sandwiches.

    Chicken teriyaki sandwich. Pretty solid choice

    The sandwich equivalent of a dive bar. Small, pretty dated, but full of good stuff inside. Still the freshness and flavors of their sandwiches might surprise you. There's nothing artisan here. Gordon Ramsey doesn't work here part time. Instead, you'll get the kind of fresh quality sandwich you might get from mom's kitchen. Chicken teriyaki has big chunks of white meat chicken nestled atop cheese, shredded lettuce, onions, pickles and tomatoes. It's a good size and a fantastic value at about $7.99 for a foot long. I'd definitely stop by again. You should too

    Jack's Sub was one of those places that I always passed by but never tried during the decades when I lived in El Monte. Wow, have I been missing out!! If you can only order one thing from here, the hoagie steak and cheese hot sub is the way to go. The marinated beef is soo good and reminds me of Korean BBQ short rib meat. The large order at $9.39 is such a deal! If the hoagie steak and cheese is off the menu, the teriyaki chicken hot sub ($7.99 for a large) is a good runner-up. The pieces of chicken are juicy and lean. The teriyaki sauce is delicious. But if the hoagie is there, sorry teriyaki chicken, I'd have to go with the hoagie instead, but you're not a bad second choice. BF and I have ordered a large side of fries ($3.59) to pair with the sandwich every time we've come. They fry it fresh after we order and it has the right combination of size, texture, and taste. We end up finishing the fries first before we even get to the sandwiches! They do close on Sundays, so make sure to get your hoagie sub fix on the other days of the week!

    Beef Teriyaki Plate is really good.

    See all

Inside the place is more vibrant and clean. Photos of menu items are astound the window. My parents wanted to come try it after so many years and we went as a family of 6 which they have traveled mainly for 4 adults. We ordered a variety of food items such as zucchini fries, chili cheese fries, pastrami sandwich with onion rings, fish and chips dinner, and ice cream. The staff were friendly and always available, since we can go to the ordering station to ask questions, we asked for picked jalapeños and carrots to go with our food. They gave us a bunch of them in bags. Everything was good, I would say that my favorite is still their zucchini fries and ranch, I love their ranch and glad they gave us a couple containers because I needed more. Definitely a great bite to grab, I think I prefer snacks from here like their huge portion of fries but their burgers are really good as well.

    I used to live a few minutes away from Jim's, but only came here once many years ago, before my…read morerecent visit. My family was craving a breakfast burrito so I brought them here, because they serve breakfast items all day. I noticed they had a grill with open flames and thought their burgers must have that nice smoky charred taste, so I got a pastrami cheeseburger. The breakfast burritos were both good and filling, but there was nothing about it that stood out over some of the other burger spots around Monrovia. The pastrami cheeseburger unfortunately had no charred flavor at all. It didn't even have any grill marks, so I'm not sure what the open flame was reserved for. What tasted like thousand island dressing overpowered the beef and pastrami, so I mostly tasted the sweet sauce. Well, we got what we were craving, but I was left disappointed. That's just me expecting too much from a $11. burger, from a place that has the same name as me, and the word 'Burger' in its name.
