Yes I recommend. But where did they go?!?!? All I hear from their neighbors is they closed to remodel. How we miss their energy, their kindness and their sandwiches. Went there for years and hoping they are ok. Either way.. would always recommend hands down. If you didn't get to enjoy, well let's just say you really missed out. Made fresh to order. Took time and many complained about it, but iykyk it was WELL worth it. Wherever you guys are... you are indeed missed. (So is the food.. lol) read more

I can't get no satisfaction I can't get no satisfaction 'Cause I try and I try and I try and I try I can't get no, I can't get no... You get your satisfaction at PSC. Great customer service and sandwiches. Parking on the streets or behind the building. You can order over the phone, online or in person. They have a separate pick up area if you're pre-ordering (good to know). Love the interior, it's small but cozy. We ordered to go as we had a date with some "Kevin's" (points if you know the movie reference). 5/5 S's The Signage such as the Good Morning sign will leave you with a Smile. Aside from the sign the Service will also give you Satisfaction. Everyone was very friendly and the order came out quickly. 5/5 Trust the Cook (TTC)! Not sure what to get, Trust the cook will be your jam! With so many options it's hard to choose at times. This sandwich is sure to increase your trust. Didn't know what to expect but it was so good! So good that my wife traded me sandwiches after one bite. (That's love to will the others good even in a sandwich). The veggie supreme was a good combo with the TTC. Everything tasted fresh and it was the best sandwich we have had in a while. Nothing beats a good mouth watering sandwich, watching the kids play and seeing the "Kevin's" at the Arboretum. We can't wait to go back and try more off the menu. I'll be trusting my hunger to the cook at the PSC. Go Bless. read more

Holy moly, this sandwich was massive! I went with the "trust the cook" and it did not disappoint. It was stacked and packed with flavor. Totally shareable. 4 star because of the sucky parking construction, but there's some street parking a bit further down. read more

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! read more

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). read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

INCREDIBLE SANDWICHES!!! I got the New Yorker and it did not disappoint Highlights: - HUGE menu with lots of personality and creativity - generous portions of deli meat - tasted great! - great presentation. Classic "piled high" deli look - great service, very helpful Lowlights: - request key for bathroom usage (nitpicking location) - tiny parking lot but there is plenty of street parking and a retail lot across the street Very proper sandwiches reminiscent of east coast style deli. Will be bookmarking and returning! read more

Amazing sandwiches! This side quest was worth it. A quaint little shop in Pasadena, this revolutionary delicatessen is something special. Sweet Potato Tots and the Viriginian (Turkey and Pastrami stacked high). What more can you ask for? A sandwich that I would have every time I pass through the area. Yum yum! Great staff and employees. Customer service was top notch. read more

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. read more

GREAT sandwiches and friendly, efficient staff. If you can't decide, the Trust the Cook is always a special treat!

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. read more

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. read more

One of the best sandwich shops in the area, no matter where you live. I travel from various spots to order from here. Sandwiches are not small, so don't expect to not have an extra sandwich for dinner of the next lunch. Chili cheese fries are delicious l. Again not small. The staff are friendly, welcoming and make you feel like family. You will not be sad for eating here. Always welcoming. Always busy and super friendly. read more

The sandwiches here are stuffed! They put so much meat inside the sandwiches. You can either design your own sandwich or choose from their speciality sandwiches. I had the PSC "Philly" which has grilled beef, melted provolone cheese, red onions, bell peppers, lettuce, and tomato. It is a well balanced sandwich with lots of veggies. The mayonnaise is a must have in this sandwich, otherwise it would be too dry. I also designed another sandwich with roast beef, jack cheese, mayo, russian dressing, pickles, lettuce, and tomato on an onion roll. I preferred the onion roll over the french roll. I wish they had put more of the dressing in the sandwich because I was barely able to taste it. The sweet potato tots are just ok. I was hoping that they would be crispy like how tater tots should be, but these were completely mushy. It was a generous portion though. read more

Wanted a classic sandwich and that's what I got. Awesome place, that seems to stay busy. Sat in the alley wall and got a tradition deli vibe. Service was friendly from the cashier to the sandwich makers. Veggie Supreme was huge and fresh ingredients. Exactly what I was looking for with ingredients. Egg Salad was not overwhelming and can actually taste the egg in it. Side pickle was crisp and a nice touch. What a great place to eat. Thank you PSC! read more

Sandwiches big enough for sharing! This is where fire and police people go for lunch so you know it's good. My first time here and I was surprised. Seems like a small place from the outside, but there are two rooms and one is pretty long with a lot of tables. Steady stream of people came in - this place is a thing - who knew?! Anyway, with a ton of sandwich options, I wasn't sure what to get, so just went with what I knew - Turkey on Sourdough with avocado. Sandwich was pretty good. They do not skimp on the ingredients and it's a big sandwich. Next time, I'll try the soup and half sandwich. I was recommended to try the "Trust the Cook" by another patron and he had to come over and show me his delicious sandwich. Looked really tasty. My Turkey was strangely salty, but had a soft bread and tasted like a good quality sandwich. I was happy to discover there was a Yelp check in offer for "Steve Style," so got a free small side (potato salad) and a drink! The potato salad was just ok in my opinion, but I'll try the macaroni salad or coleslaw next time! You order in one room and pick up in the other via an order window. You can also pick up your call in orders there. This was a great find. If I ever need a picnic or lunch sandwich - I know where to go! They close at 2:30, so it's not a dinner type place. The inside is interesting and the ceiling is adorned with baseball caps of all kinds. Everyone who worked there was super nice. read more

Listen, I thought I knew what a sandwich was until I walked into Pasadena sandwich co. This place isn't just a sandwich joint; it's a culinary masterpiece, a food revolution, and a sandwich that's about to change your life. I'm talking sandwiches so big, you need a second person just to hold it. Forget the "footlong" -- these bad boys are practically half a yard of pure joy. Let me break it down for you: The sandwich I ordered was so big, I thought I was being pranked. I almost needed a permit to carry it. Seriously, it was like they took a normal sandwich, turned it sideways, and said, "Let's just make this thing absurd." I couldn't even see the person across the table anymore once I started digging in. At one point, I was like, "Am I eating a sandwich... or an architectural feat?" So, here's the deal: If you find yourself in Pasadena and you're feeling hangry, I highly recommend you go to here. Prepare for a sandwich that might take over your Instagram feed, and fries that will make you rethink every other fry you've ever eaten. Plus, I'm pretty sure you'll need a nap afterward because you're about to consume the food equivalent of a marathon. But hey, no judgment -- we're all in this carb-filled journey together. To sum up: The best sandwich shop in Pasadena. The biggest, most delicious sandwiches and chili cheese fries that might just change your entire existence. You'll leave with a full belly and a heart full of gratefulness. 10/10, would eat until I physically can't move. read more

My 2nd time here and they never disappoint. Took 2 of my classmates here during our lunch and we literally only had 30min to get back. So we needed a quick place to grab some food and go! I got the half Turkey supreme and lobster bisque, after finishing my huge half a sandwich I couldn't even finish my soup lol. They put soo much Turkey meat in that sandwich, but I'm not complaining! Lol Lobster bisque was solid, creamy, savory and to salty. Cute place, service was great and they were super fast preparing our food. Def coming back to try a diff sandwich ! read more

I have been trying to come the Pasadena Sandwich Company for the longest time!! But, they have limited hours, so I missed many opportunities. Last Saturday, I was out and about around lunch time (for once. LOL) and was in the area, so finally go to try PSC. First for a couple of logistics, there is a small lot behind the building, but I can see it being super busy during peak time. There is plenty of street parking around. There is also bar seats inside and a few tables outside if you want to enjoy your sandwich fresh. After looking through the menu, I decided on the Rueben and PSC Sub to share. I decided I wanted to try the sandwich fresh, so grabbed a table outside. Sandwiches came out pretty quickly. The Rueben was probably the highlight for me. The beef was tender and tasty and had a big amount of meat. The PSC Sub (which is an Italian) was OK, but nothing that I thought was special. If you are in the area for a quick bite, I would definitely come to PSC. Next time, I definitely want to try some other sandwiches. Also, for next time, they sell some picked items (pickles, etc), I am definitely going to buy some. The Rueben was a little salty, so more pickles would have been great. read more

Awesome sandwiches! You might think it's a little pricey, but it's easily 2 meals per sandwich is you get fries or chips as a side. The staff were super friendly as well and had our online order ready to go when we got to the pickup counter. There is a small shared lot behind PSC or street parking. read more

We heard about some "best sandwich" spots and Pasadena Sandwich Company comes up! Don't forget Yelp check in for some offers! Parking is available on the street or in the lot around the back. The store faces the street on a corner so you have to drive into the neighborhood to find the correct parking lot entrance. The price point is higher, around $15 for a sandwich but they're quite substantial usually three slices of bread and generous portions of meat and fixins. I feel the volume is enough for two people at lunch. You can order preset sandwich concoctions, "Trust the Cook," or make your own with up to three meats and two cheeses. We got the Trust the Cook and Chicago style. I wanted a Reuben but the Chicago style seemed intriguing with both corned beef and pastrami with Russian dressing on rye. Today's chefs choice was kinda like a cold cut combo with ham, turkey, salami and roast beef, though the beef was warm compared with the colder meats. Side salads are nice, and the pickle and orange garnish are refreshing finish to the substantial meal. read more

Great sandwiches, nice people. But I'm too late, having learned they have closed. You'll be missed. Now who'll make my sandwiches?

Come here when you are hungry, they have the biggest sandwiches I've ever had - totally stacked! I recommend the half sandwich and cup of soup combo. I got "trust the cook" which is always a fun combination. If you get a whole "trust the cook", you'll often get two different sandwich halves, perfect for variety! The halves are a double decker sandwich themselves, loaded with basically everything - I identified ham, salami, roast beef, pastrami, bacon, turkey, cheese, peppers, onions, lettuce, and tomatoes all in one sandwich! I only finished half of my half since it was so filling! For soup, they always have chili, and two others that swap out. Today's was clam chowder and baked beans, tho I went with the trusted chili. Their chili cheese fries are pretty tasty too! With a the check-in on Yelp, I also got free coleslaw! (Macaroni salad, and potato salad were other options), + a drink (I just got soda water but they have standard soft drink options.) I found that the slaw wasn't sweet, and was fairly mayo heavy for my personal preference, I think it works better within a sandwich than standalone. I prefer the macaroni salad. They have quite a variety of chips and pickles, I got some jalepeno Miss Vickies chips to accompany my meal. Next time I'll add the sweet potato tots too - my friend got them and they were sweet and almost caramelized! Not sure if I'd had sweet potato in that tater tot formfactor before, but loved it! We parked in the residential street behind the store, and ate inside. It's a little shop, so a bit cramped when full of people - they do get a lot of to-go orders which makes sense. read more

To be fair here, my review is based on the sandwich alone. I got it delivered so I'm not going to comment about the service or ambiance. But as for the sandwich, a Reuben, it was damn good!! The corned beef was stacked tall and was moist and seasoned perfectly. The magical fusion of sauerkraut, Russian dressing, rye bread, Swiss cheese, and corned beef is at its best at PSC. I'll definitely be ordering it again soon! read more
