Tasty neighborhood institution but I wouldn't go out of my way to eat here. I got the Tuna Simone on the dark sweet wheat bread which is similar to your classic tuna melt. Not terrible and there was some love and care but the flavors/ingredients didn't stand out. The dark sweet wheat bread was cut relatively thin so I wasn't able to discern a unique flavor or texture. It will fill you up and you won't be upset with the flavor. Prices ~$15. Folks are friendly. Also be prepared to wait a 15+ min for your order. Lots of seating indoors. Parking is a little tricky with only (free) street parking. Both side streets were nearly full on a Saturday afternoon. read more

Perry's Joint was fantastic! If it weren't so far, we'd be back every week. I love a good turkey dog. My husband had to both were tasty and well prepared with lots of fixings. I had to go with a sandwich. It looked too good to pass up. Chicken Mingus with all the fixings! Delicious spread and fresh ingredients. We'll be back! read more

All sandwiches were so juicy and delicious! Not dry at all and I love how patient the staff was. I really enjoyed the Guru sandwich and every bite was perfect. Be prepared to wait a long time however! read more

Food is good I like the sandwiches from here. They have to figure out their lunch rushes though. It's taken an about 50 min to receive my single sandwich. If your in a rush I wouldn't recommend coming here read more

First time The Hey Joe is one of the best hot sandwiches I've had in a minute. Excellent service and a lot of art around the shop to keep your eyeballs busy while you wait for your order. read more

Been here probably 4 or 5 times now but enjoy pretty much everything I've gotten. This time I got the Chef special with dark sweet wheat and absolutely hit the spot. Uses fresh ingredients and very filling. Prices can seem high but worth it considering the quality of food. Service is great and environment is very welcoming. Jazz music is the go to playlist so you can't really complain. I've been able to find street parking pretty easily but can see it being inconvenient if the area is busy. Overall one of my favorite food spots in Pasadena! read more

Perry's Joint - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

My friend and I stopped in here for lunch while we were in Pasadena doing some thrift shopping, and we're so glad we did! We found this sandwich shop on Yelp nearby and decided to give it a try. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, welcoming, and greeted us with smiles. The menu had so many great sandwich options that it was hard to choose! My friend ordered the chicken sandwich, and I went with the tuna sandwich. We also ordered a smoothie to share, and they were so kind to split it into two cups--both filled almost to the top, which was such a thoughtful touch. At the last minute I asked if they could toast my bread, and they were more than happy to do it without hesitation. The service was not only friendly, but efficient--the food came out quickly and everything tasted amazing. Between the delicious food and the genuinely kind, helpful staff, this place really stood out. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area! read more

After reading great reviews, i decided to stop in. The hey joe sandwich tastes exactly how it looks like it will taste. It is hearty, hefty, and filling. The service was friendly and quick. Seating was plentiful. Parking was a little tricky though. Just need to be willing to walk a few mins. My only let down was that the yelp picture and prices are very outdated. The prices now are in the ballpark of nearly double. If they only had a $5.50 pastrami or a $9.75 hey joe sandwich still. It was sticker shock after looking up on yelp and then walking in and ordering. Overall it was pretty good. You have to think of the food less as a cafe and more like a sitdown place. If I went to a restaurant and a waiter gave me a menu with a $15.99 hey joe sandwich, it would feel about right. The price, portions, & quality would match. I had different expectations, especially after looking at outdated yelp prices read more

Perry's Joint - Hey Joe Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

3/18/24 So was told about this place from Some friends and gave it try . Cool little spot with indoor and outdoor seating . Service was great very friendly. Ordered The Hip Max Sandwich. It consisted of Roast beef, turkey, mustard, mayo, lettuce, tomato, red onions, avocado & cheese. As seen in pic it was a large sandwich that easily could be shared.. As per sandwich it was good im not a huge wheat bread guy so I feel a French roll or Sourdough would be great , they just were out of everything else. But all in all was still Good and filling . Would definitely come back . They have a location in Sierra Madre as well . Give it a try . Enjoy !!!! read more

I can't say enough about Perry's Joint on Lincoln Ave. The staff is young and polite and inviting. They were so pleasant over the phone when taking my order and I was greeted by a staff member as soon as I walked in. I'm embarrassed to say that we've lived in Pas for 5 years and this was our first time visiting the Pasadena staple that is Perry's. Big mistake, we should have been coming here weekly. Their sandwiches are on point and the staff is just sweet as can be. These sandwiches are HUGE! They also offer a large variety of chips and other menu items as well. We will def be returning. read more

Perry's Joint - The Hip Max Sandwich and The Tuna Simone Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

I read about Perry's Joint in an article on the best sandwiches in LA, so I had to try it. I got a chicken salad sandwich, which was excellent--lots of chicken salad, lettuce, and tomato on fresh dark wheat bread. My friend ordered a pastrami sandwich. Lots of well-seasoned pastrami. Perry's buys the pastrami from a vendor and slices it in-house. The staff was very friendly. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is available on the street. read more

Someone dropped off a couple of Perry's sandwiches for us and I have to say I was really impressed with the sandwiches. I looked up Perry's on Yelp and saw that they're only $5.50? Is that for real?! If so, that is an amazing deal. I tried their turkey sandwich and it was really tasty. It had a lot of turkey in it. I also tried the pastrami and it was really good as well. The pastrami was really tasty, but not fatty or greasy. I really enjoyed both sandwiches and would definitely stop by the next time I'm in the area. read more

Everything here is fantastic. These sandwiches that Perry's Joint makes are a cut above all else. The freshness is incomparable and the combinations are delicious and satisfying to say the least. On Thurs. & Fridays they bust out their famous Tri Tip sandwiches. Let me tell you, It's literally the eight wonder of the world and the best thing on earth your mouth will ever taste. Succulent and generous portions of tri tip in French bread with melted cheese and tomato and...heaven. If you love a good all beef hot dog, they got you covered.

Perry's Joint - Chicago Dog - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

Such a sweet little sandwich shop with the best service! My friends and I stopped by on a weekday and had no wait. We ordered the Tuna by Starlight (tuna salad sandwich), Tuna Simone (tuna melt), and Chicken Mingus (chicken salad sandwich). Per our sweet server's recommendation, I got the dark sweet wheat bread-- SOO good! The Tuna Simone melted in my mouth (had a fire cheese pull) and was the perfect temperature. Bread was so soft and made every bite just as good as the last. Chicken Mingus and Tuna By Starlight are cold sandwiches but just as tasty. Portions are also large; I finished half and saved the other half for snacking later. The shop itself is small but there are plenty of seats (mostly tables for two). If you aren't able to find seating inside, there are a couple of tables outside and a few more seating areas a few blocks down. Will definitely be coming back here to try more sandwiches! read more

Moved to the area recently. We got some sandwiches here to check out a local place. I got the Hey Joe and my wife got the Hip Max. They were quite good, very stuffed full sandwiches. My only complaint would be that the bread options are almost all just sliced loaf bread, no sandwich rolls, which is my personal preference. Went back today and got the Roast Max on a croissant and this was the best sandwich I've had in a very long time. Just great flavor, the amount of mayo and mustard was perfect, it tasted like a roast beef sandwich should. Also: both times, the staff was so friendly and helpful it was a pleasure to patronize this restaurant and I'm looking forward to their upcoming new place, or should I say joint. read more

Ordered the Hey Joe sandwich which was delicious!! It took about 15 minutes to get the sandwich from the kitchen but was well worth it for the masterpiece of a sandwich it is! Nice and hot with flavor profiles that fulfill the pallet!! The atmosphere in the restaurant was very casual and laid back with nice relaxing blues type music! If I'm ever back in this area for San Diego I'm definitely coming back!! Totally a must have read more

Good to be back. Going to try The Pastrami Dog. Quick friendly service. I love the real family run business of this place. I always make it a point to get lunch from them as much as possible when I'm in Pasadena. Walking distance from where I'm staying makes it my neighbourhood place. Oh that dog is my new favorite dog. The pastrami takes it to another level. Smoothie is good. I plan on coming back soon. read more

Finna see a man about a bird! 10 out of 10 experience! The sandwich was put together very well! Layered by God himself! Each ingredient was stacked generously could tell the sandwich was made with LOVE! Service was exceptional, the confirmed my order like 3 thymes and walked me through the specials. The ambiance is very soulful and soothing and lax the walls are draped with cultural icons and the jazz music makes for a great zen like experience. I got this on a toasted croissant roll! Filled with Turkey, avocado, cheese, mayo and lettuce! God Bless Perry n the fam! I will be making return for that tri-tip Friday special! LOVE! read more

Probably one of the best cold sandwiches I have ever had. Combo beef and turkey and they do not skimp on the meat. Avocado was a great touch to an already ideal sandwich. Definitely going back. Very friendly staff. 5 star experience for sure read more

Perry's Joint - The Tuna Simone Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

Been wanting to try this place for a while due to the high number of great reviews here and I love supporting a local small business. It's not what I was expecting and I'm so sad about it. Customer service: 5 stars. Everyone was so kind, helpful, multiple employees said hello and asked how we were doing. It was really lovely and inviting in a way that many places lack. Food: 3 stars. Got the Guru and was really disappointed. Great sandwiches start with quality bread and this just immediately made it a massive dud. Super cheap sandwich bread - and it was a hot sandwich but the bread wasn't toasted, grilled, pressed, etc. at all so it was just a gummy, soggy and limp mess. Splitting the difference and giving it 4 stars because the employees were the highlight but I wouldn't come back for the food. read more

Saw Perry's on a list of best sandwiches in the U.S., so I had to try it out myself. Parking is street out in front, and there's also a really small lot next to it that fits maybe 4 cars or so. Inside is clean, organized with lots of seating both in and outside. Has a really nice, mom-and-pop feel that is definitely welcoming. Menu has both sandwiches and hot dogs, along with smoothies and milk shakes. No fries or fountain drinks. Ordered the famous "Hey Joe" sandwich on sourdough (you can pick your type of bread). It has hot links, roast beef and pastrami, topped with cheese and peppers all sandwiched together. It's a good sandwich for sure. Very filling. Spectacular? Not sure about that, but definitely a good sandwich. All the meat tasted fresh and was of high quality. Overall, I'd definitely come back to try the other sandwiches and maybe a smoothie. read more

I always grab my lunch from Perry's whenever I have an appointment at the nearby hair salon that is just a few steps away! The Tuna Simone has me in a chokehold. It's the perfect tuna melt with fresh and crispy vegetables and ingredients. Friendly customer service as well. Everything is priced fairly. They do get pretty busy at lunchtime and don't always answer the phone, but that's to be expected with a neighborhood deli that has a lunch rush hour. read more

Perry's Joint - The Tuna Simone Sandwich - Sandwiches Near Me - Pasadena, California

If you have not been to Perry's Joint then you are missing out on some really great sandwiches. The first time that I went to Perry's was their Sierra Madre shop. This past Thursday I picked up a catered lunch for our geology department at Caltech. This is the 4th time in a little over a year that we have ordered catered food. They have always had the food ready on the requested time of pick up and their staff has always been exceptional. The catered lunches have been for our faculty and Perry's has always received great praise for the sandwiches we have ordered. The sandwiches have been placed on trays and they have plenty of mustard and mayonnaise packets for people to put on their sandwiches. The favorite sandwich is the pastrami. The taste is exceptionally flavorful and not greasy. I also like their roast beef. These sandwiches ate packed with meat and you definitely get your money's worth. So if you need to have plenty of great food for your office or home party, go to Perry's you will not regret it. read more
