    WOW TALK ABOUT HIDDEN GEMS!!! This one is IT. Mind you we leave near by and have never visited this place up until recently. They have sandwiches, hot dogs, smoothies and ice cream. Also healthy green juices! We came in on a whim, I got the roast beef sandwhich, my husband got a turkey sandwich. Both were MEATY HEARTY and a mouth FULL. YUMMY FLAVOR and fresh ingredients! The ambiance is easy and welcoming, the people working have a smile on their face from the moment you open the door to upon completing your order. The jazz vibes are a super sweet touch. JOHN COLTRANE. Enough said. Pick up to go or come in and sit down to eat they have space. This place is a GEM. Upon reviewing I found they have other locations... we will definitely be visiting soon!

    Hey Joe Sandwich
    Eubene K.

    Cute little sandwich shop! Has so much soul with all the decor and music that sets the tone. Sandwiches are no joke! Big as my hand! Inside was nice and quiet Workers were chill and sandwich pros Definitely coming back! Big band is where it's at Big Joe looks good but feel like the hot link over takes the flavor!

    Hip bird (bottom) & Hey Joe (top)

    We were looking for a place to stop by along the way and wanted to try this out. We went ahead to order in advance by placing our order through the phone, which is pretty convenient tbh. When we got there, we found it's located in a medical plaza, so it's not at an obvious place to find! Street parking would be your best bet. The joint itself was very spacious, ample of tables, but also many others waiting for their order. We saw that even though we placed our phone order ahead, it seemed like the employees were working pretty slowly... which makes sense for the hold up of people waiting for their sandwiches. Getting our sandwiches, we got the Hip Bird and the Hey Joe sandwich. Honestly the Hip Bird is a very classic sandwich, although I wish there was more avocado on it. Everything tasted fresh but the more I ate, the more I thought about how I could've just made this sandwich at home lol. Nothing too impressive, but it's not really worth the price you're paying for it unless you're lazy. Also the mustard sauce in it didn't seem like it enhanced it that much. Wish there was something more special about it. As for the Hey Joe, it's definitely all the meats in one sandwich that my bf enjoys, but that destroyed him LOL it was so heavy, very greasy, just heart clogging. The sandwich is good, but makes you feel pretty terrible about yourself (unless you enjoy it all the way). Otherwise, service was mid, sandwiches are okay. I probably wouldn't go out of my way to visit here again.

    We came in for a sandwich after my husband found them on Yelp. We entered and were greeted as we browsed their menu posted above their counter. We ordered a Hey Joe sandwich to share and a cherry lemonade. I was reluctant to order that large of a sandwich but my husband wanted it so I went along with his choice. It took a while for our sandwich to be ready, but it was worth the wait. It was filled with pastrami, roast beef, melted cheese, and a hot link. I ate a quarter of it and my husband had no problem finishing the rest of it. The restaurant seemed to be popular with locals as we saw a number of take out orders, as well as diners inside and on their patio. If in the area, I'd stop in again. Street parking, but be careful of traffic if you need to cross the street.

    The Guru Sandwich
    Jessica Y.

    There is street parking in front of the restaurant. They have both indoor and outdoor patio seating. I tried the guru sandwhich which is a hot sandwhich on wheat bread. It was so delicious. Lots of fillings. Juicy meat with crunch vegetables. I really liked the sandwhich. Staff is very nice there. It was a very hot day and he offered me a cup to get iced water. Very spacious inside.

    The Hip Bird Sandwich and Pastrami Sandwich (No Chaser)
    Sara K.

    Great local sandwich shop- support Altadena small business! Artfully assembled sandwiches with fresh plentiful ingredients and nice customer service. Hip Bird had lots of turkey and went really well on sweet wheat. Also got the pastrami on sourdough too. Both sandwiches were excellent, but the pastrami was 10/10!

    Egg salad sandwich
    Mike P.

    Expertly crafted sandwiches overstuffed with goodness. We love coming to this little shop and supporting Altadena businesses. Perry is often present at the restaurant and stops by to say hello to customers. You just don't see that kind of personal attention much. He runs a great shop. I tried the veggie dog Detroit style. It's pretty good. Of course veggie dogs aren't the same thing as beef hot dogs, but putting on some delicious toppings makes it very enjoyable. Parking seems to be relegated to street parking. There is a lot behind the restaurant but it appears to be for the medical offices in the building.

    Big Bang Sandwich

    The freshest sandwich around. Easily feeds two people. Service is great and fast. Yum!

    Amazing sandwich spot. Friendly and welcoming service. Plenty of seating. Love the jazz music they play.

    The Guru
    Haley W.

    Now that Pas Sandwich Co is gone I decided I needed to try a new local spot and Perry's Joint did not disappoint! Easy street parking, large building, clean and neat. The staff was super friendly while taking my order and started a little conversation while I waited for my food. The wait was a bit long considering it wasn't busy but I didn't mind much. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and they had no problem with my dog sitting on the patio with me. I loved the art they had on display, just a place with great vibes and great sandwiches. I was shocked by how phenomenal the pastrami was considering they're not a pastrami specific shop. I'll definitely be back to try more of the menu!

    The Tuna Simone Sandwich
    Tu T.

    So good. I had no time to make lunch this morning so I checked out Perry's Joint nearby. I ordered the Tuna Simone/tuna melt on sourdough. This thing was HUUGE (which is great because I was starving). I could only eat half bc it was so big (excuse the janky picture). So delicious. The icing on the cake was the great customer service from the gentlemen working behind the counter. I highly recommend!

    Tri-tip
    Jaime R.

    Perry's Joint in Sierra Madre, CA, serves delicious, huge, and lovingly crafted sandwiches. I've tried the Hip Bird - turkey with lettuce, avocado on fresh dark wheat bread - and the Tri-Tip Sandwich, both of which were fantastic. The sandwiches are fresh, filling, and made with high-quality bread and condiments. Just a heads-up: order in advance and avoid the busy lunch hours, or be prepared to wait. This isn't a fast food joint, but it's definitely worth the wait! After the fires, please support this local, Black-owned business - you won't regret it!

    Tuna Tuna by Starlight Sandwich

    Great little sandwich shop in a really cute part of Pasadena. I had the tuna sandwich they added onions and pickles, and my friends have the chicken salad sandwich. All were really good and fresh and delicious. I will be coming back next time. I'm in Pasadena.

    Is there parking?

    There's street parking in front and the side. Its very limited

    Has the indoor seating reopened?

    If you are referring to the outdoor patio area, yes. Plenty. We sat int he courtyard outside of the place.

    Is there indoor seating?

    There was outdoor seating available when I visited in February 2022. There was also really cool, classic jazz playing outside-- an added bonus.

    What is on the "secret menu"?

    There isn't really a large secret menu here- However, you can order a float with sodas and ice creams besides rootbeer and vanilla, and you can do the same for the ingredients in the sherbet freeze.

    Do they have Gluten Free Bread?

    Bread options: Wheat, rye, sourdough, squaw. Croissant 50¢ extra

    Is Perry's closed for the holiday? I went yesterday and it was closed. No one is answering the telephone today, wondering if they are closed? No signs..

    They are open today 1/2/2018.

    Has anybody made the suggestion that perhaps they could offer wine or beer?

The smoked salmon was perfect, the egg was super runny just how I like it, and the potatoes were the perfect portion--crispy and flavorful. The salad on the side was also really refreshing and balanced everything out well. We also tried the smoked salmon omelette, and I would say this one was a bit underwhelming. It wasn't bad, but I expected more flavor. It ended up being my least favorite dish out of everything we ordered. For dessert, we got the toffee banana crepe with ube ice cream and wow... this was definitely the highlight. So good and we finished the whole thing. I would honestly come back just for this.

Expect to pay $20+ for most of the dishes Ordered the Avocado Benedict ($20.95) and it consisted of 2 egg muffins, topped with a poached egg, avocado, and ham, as well as a garden salad and country fried potatoes. One of the eggs arrived destroyed so it was already runny and the other one was a little overcooked so it wasn't perfectly poached as I was expecting but it wasn't too big of a deal. The ham was a little dry and salty but the avocado was very delicious and fresh. The egg muffin was quite cold and dry so it wasn't too enjoyable. The garden salad was pretty basic and just had some greens, corn, and tomatoes so nothing too special. The potatoes arrived cold, dry and slightly crunchy. It was extremely salty so it was hard to enjoy Overall, I thought the food was a little pricey and underwhelming unfortunately.

The delivery took about 50 minutes to get to me after ordering and I was a bit nervous about how soggy both would be, especially the chilaquiles since I like when the chips are mostly hard still. I was pleasantly surprised and thankful that the salsa for the chilaquiles came on the side and though the waffle wasn't as crispy as I thought it would be, it was thick and fluffy and tasted great with the toppings.
