    First time at the spot. Recommended by a Pasadena native. It was friggin' fantastic! As a sandwich connoisseur (yes, I said it) this restaurant was head and shoulders above most sandwich shops. We arrived at the shop just after the lunch rush which was accidentally but perfectly timed. There is construction going on in the pass through hallway that the shop is connected to but still open. Parking wasn't a problem either. The small shop had bar, pub, and table seating. We were able to walk right up to the counter and order our sandwiches: two turkey supreme on squaw and a New Yorker. (Note: they also sell deli meat by the pound if you want to make your own at home sandwiches.). I love a sandwich shop that offers squaw or brown bread. It is my all-time favourite! The woman who helped said it would be about 15 minutes so we had a seat. They were done with our sandwiches in about 6 minutes. Once home I am happy to report that my sandwich had no condiments or sauces on it as I requested. Yes, I'm that person. I was stunned to see how thick the sandwich was but I am not complaining. We each devoured half of our sandwich and were stuffed. The turkey supreme was SO DARN GOOD! I can't remember the last time I had a sandwich that I couldn't stop thinking about but this one definitely fit the bill. Well done, PSC!

    Friday Sammy Tour stop #7 My first visit to Pasadena Sandwich Company. I have heard high praises so I was pretty stoked. It is clearly very popular, be prepared to wait. There is a small attached parking lot behind the business but it is shared with 2 other businesses. Best bet would be to find street parking in the neighborhood. Phone and online ordering options are available with separate pick up windows for pre-orders. There is limited seating so best to order to go. I waited about 15 minutes in line before I got to the counter to place my order. I ordered: - The Philly. tons of meat, a little dry though. bread is soft and tasty. Huge portion. - Del Mar was a hit. the bread was soft and soaked up some of the sauce. Huge portion. Each sandwich was served with a pickle and slice of orange. The sandwiches were wrapped paper like little babies to handle with care. I am very interested in trying their soup and 1/2 sandwich combo for my next visit. You can add sides like potato salad, whole pickle, pickled eggs, and fresh "chumps" (muffin style bread).

    Ask the staff to do their thing and this is the result- very pleased!

    Absolutely amazing!! Doing some work in the area and decided to grab a bite at PSC- it's been years since I last been here... and they did NOT disappoint! I just told them to make me something good and left the rest in their hands and they made me this masterpiece (and with dip). I will not make a point to come back here even though I live an hour away- food was fantastic and the staff was just as great- thanks guys!!!

    What can I say this is the only place to stop for a sandwich. Parking in back now paved. Always a great crew family owned not a chain. This is the one and only And I always trust the chef

    Toasted Sheepherder sandwich. Yes... with two bites out of it. Just too irresistible not too take a couple bites.

    Just stopped by our favorite Sandwhich shop Pasadena Sandwhich Company and noticed it is closed. I was here a month ago. What happened? Anyone know? Sooooo bummed!

    Pastrami sandwich with mustard and pickles
    Jason V.

    I really love a good sandwich, so I was excited to try this place. The sandwiches looked like they were a good size, and nothing seemed crazy expensive (except for the $7 fries). The customer service was great and everyone was super nice. BUT, my pastrami sandwich was somewhere between room temp and lukewarm. And it's not like it was sitting there for awhile, I ordered online and it wasn't ready yet when I got there, so it should've been hot I would think. The French roll was a little on the hard side. The taste wasn't bad, better than a drive thru spot, but nowhere near a Langers or Johnnies. The worst part was, (TMI incoming), it gave me the trots . So overall it wasn't a great experience.

    I've heard of this place for years and finally tried it this weekend! They close way too early but the sandwiches were great! I'll definitely will be coming back since it's so close to home. The Chicago sandwich was delicious. Definitely recommend trying this place.

    Wow. Lived in the area forever and never really seen this place until I searched sandwich. The sandwich is huge!! Definitely a bang for your buck! I ordered a kids size sandwich and it looked like a regular size or a large. I ordered a half sandwich for my husband and it was humongous! Love that the deli meats aren't salty!

    Knockwurst and Sauerkraut Sandwich and Reuben Sandwich
    Peter F.

    Some of the best sandwiches I've ever tried, my rating is more like a 4.8 because of seating format, but I rounded up. Great portion sizes for a great price and the food doesn't sit bad in the belly when you eat too much. A lot of their sandwiches incorporate sauerkraut so if you're not a fan, just let them know not to include it. The fresh regular sauerkraut is better than the baked in my opinion. I had the knockwurst sandwich with sausages and the Reuben with corned beef. Must try their corned beef. Their servers are super helpful and quick if you go up to them for stuff like napkins, extra sides or to-go boxes, they'll pack it up for you nicely.

    Plenty of selections. I had the turkey supreme, it was delicious. Excellent service, my order was ready relatively quick. Love the corridor seating.

    This place takes sandwiches to another level! They def do not skimp out on the meats. I ordered trust the chef and it was piled so high I could barely take a bite of all the layers. I like how they give you pickles and a slice of orange on the side. Quite refreshing on a hot day. The sandwiches are pretty reasonably priced considering it lasted me 2 whole meals. Service was excellent. Everyone was so friendly and willing to help. I can see why they don't open the whole day. They were super busy the whole time I dined in. Worth a try if you're in the area.

    Turkey Supreme on wheat add avocado ($2.50 more)
    Shelby S.

    I was driving through the area and wanted to stop for a sandwich for lunch. Pasadena Sandwich Company quickly came up on my search and is really conveniently located right off of the freeway. They have bathrooms and parking. We opted to sit outside, which was nice, though we only saw one table available for this. I checked in to get the free "Steve's Style," which is basically a free combo (side and a drink). The potato salad was pretty bland. Definitely lacking flavor. The turkey supreme sandwich was super delicious though. I added avocado. The service was excellent! I appreciate that they have diet Dr Pepper on their fountain machine.

It was always a real treat. As a teenager I dated a couple of the girls that worked there so I was there on the regular in those days. In my 20's I lived right up the street and hit them up quite often. I don't get there as much as I'd like nowadays but when I do, it is always consistently great. Times have definitely changed but Connal's quality food and super customer service has not! I am a huge Combination Grinder fan and have not ordered anything different for well over 30 years. They are always stacked with lots of high quality cold cuts and delicious Provolone, crisp shredded Lettuce,thin sliced Onions and Vinegar and Oil on a delicious French Roll. In my teens and 20's I did try many samplings on their vast menu and as memory serves, everything was always delicious. Today's Grinder absolutely hit the spot! It had been a while since I last tasted one but the Combo Grinder most definitely never disappoints. I went for it, and got Zings (Zucchini Sticks and Onion Rings). Super hot, crisp and very tasty, especially with some Bleu Cheese Dressing. Jesse took my order and he was very personable and showed me some excellent customer service. If you are looking for some great grub, you cannot lose with Sandwiches By Connal. It is not the original owners but they have kept the same quality and standards over the years.

Once upon a time, we lived dangerously close to this establishment, and I've honestly thought about it more often than I'd like to admit ever since. So when I found myself in Pasadena a few weeks ago, you better believe I was coming back. I ordered my usual: an unbelievable burger, fries, and a Coke--of course. But the crown jewel of the meal, as it has always been, is the fried zucchini. I have never found better fried zucchini, and trust me, I've been trying for years. Service at the window was just as friendly as I remembered, and we grabbed a spot tucked under the patio instead of staying inside--perfect for people-watching as folks came and went. There's something really special about being welcomed back by a place that tastes exactly like you remember. Connal's still delivers.

Hubby got the Classic Aussie sandwich and the bread pudding, while my son and I got the Beef Pho meat pies and Popcorn Pork meat pie rolls. The beef pho meat pie definitely had the pho flavors and aromatics. This was absolutely delicious! The Popcorn Pork was good, not as aromatic as the pho pie. The flavor was lacking on the Taiwanese popcorn chicken basil flavor that it claimed. It reminded me more of a Vietnamese meat pie (pate chaud), which is peppery with a smoother texture that this one did not have, but it was still flavorful. The bread pudding was good but the texture was more dense reminding me of a banana bread loaf. I didn't care for the dollop of yogurt on top, which took away from the flavor of the bread pudding itself. Hubby said the Classic Aussie was good but was expensive for the size of the sandwich (small burger size). Hubby got the Long Black coffee which was good, but sadly my iced matcha latte was lacking in the matcha flavor. It was very pale in color and tasted mostly of milk. Service was quick and friendly. I will come back for the meats and try the other flavors of the meat pies next time.
