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

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

Excellent sandwiches! And the nachos omgoodness! We ordered a tritip sandwich which was delicious and the nachos took me back to my childhood. They were able to make a grilled cheese for my kiddos which was much appreciated! The service was warm and friendly! We highly recommend and will be going back! 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

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

Tuna sandwich was interesting. Lots of seating and outdoor area as well! Maybe order in advance next time. read more

Always such a great time at Perry's Joint! The energy here is so warm and welcoming and that's one of the reasons I've kept coming since I was a teen. The food (especially the tuna sandwich and smoothies) are my go tos. Service and food never disappoints. EVER. Thank you! read more

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

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

A snack shop would be how I describe Perry's Joint. Good sandwiches! Available are also Hot-Dogs, Nachos, Ice-Cream, Smoothies, Shakes, Coffee, Sodas. Snack shop right? People come here for mostly for the sandwiches; and to hang out. It's a welcoming environment. They have a new second location in Sierra Madre as well. Perry (owner) is behind the counter making sandwiches and greeting regulars as they walk in. Walk up to the counter place your order then wait. Nice Jazz music is playing in the background while you wait for your order. Seems like a busy spot loved by locals. *Parking is street only and not the best. read more

A perfect five stars on Yelp? Let me try it. A client of mine raved about Perry's Joint sandwiches after I asked him if he has tried the famous Roma Market sandwich nearby with a line that snakes around the store. He told me that he is loyal to Perry's Joint only and recommended I try it. I was in the Altadena area and decided to finally give their "real sandwiches" a try. Perry's Joint is a locally owned neighborhood sandwich shop. The theme of the sandwich shop is jazz. After looking through the menu, there didn't seem to be anything unusual about the menu. It's your average sandwich that you definitely can make at home. If you're too lazy to make a sandwich at home, this would be the place to support a local sandwich shop instead of a corporate behemoth like a Subway or Jersey Mike's. The sandwich is piled high and made with care. The sandwiches are around $15 including the tip they ask you for. I normally would never pay that much for a sandwich. If not for the recommendation of my client, I wouldn't try it. The most popular sandwich? The tuna seems to be a favorite since they ran out. I settled for the next best thing -- a warm pastrami sandwich with bacon. It's a solid and tasty sandwich. A sandwich I would not drive out of my way for, but wouldn't mind stopping by if I was in the area again and wanted to support a locally owned black-owned business. They also serve hot dogs and Thrifty ice cream. You can also get a banana split made with Thrifty ice cream. It doesn't seem like anything is housemade as what seems popular these days at the more "hipster" cheffy modern sandwich shops appealing to a younger food obsessive demographic. read more

I've been living in Pasadena since 2011 and somehow never knew about Perry's Joint... literally a few blocks away from me. That's one thing that truly surprised me. The fact that it's so hidden it's not wonder it remained a total mystery for so long. I'm glad I finally found out, feel like a true local now. 99% of the sandwich places I've been I ask "hey do you have gluten free? Can you do a lettuce wrap?" And they go "uhhhh no sorry" ...at Perry's they said absolutely and made me the best lettuce wrap I've ever had. EVER. And that was just one sandwich on the menu, there are so many amazing things I can't wait to try! read more

Good sandwiches; they are big and tasty. But the customer service leaves a lot to be desired. Do not come here if you're in a hurry. Service is very slow and workers have no sense of urgency. I ordered one sandwich this week, and it took exactly :35 to get it after I ordered it. This is unacceptable. read more

I drove from the very far side of South Pasadena this late morning, almost in Alhambra all the way over to the location on Lincoln to get there when they opened. Hotter than you can imagine. Money on gas, time, traffic and everything else you can imagine only to get to the front door and find it locked. A handwritten sign on the front door that one could barely read saying that they're going to open an hour and a half late, with people inside doing whatever it was that they were doing. What an absolute waste of time and everything else. I will never ever be back. Thanks for letting everybody know ahead of time. And... I was not the only one to be greatly disappointed. read more

Excellent food. Timely delivery. Recommended by neighbor. Will use this vendor again and recommend.

Stumbled across Perry's Joint while looking for a quick bite, and wow what a gem! The HipMax sandwich hits all the right notes; it's fresh, hearty, and packed with turkey (everything I want in a sandwich) you can taste the love they put into their food. The staff there is super genuine and just good vibes all around! This spot is pure harmony! Definitely will be back! read more

Came back here for lunch with my fiancé. We had a mad craving for their sandwiches a couple weeks ago but they were closed, so we're happy they're back open after the holidays! We ordered the Big Ben, Tuna Simone (still my absolute favorite!), chili cheese nachos and the sherbet freeze. Service and quality of their food is still on point! Thanks Perry's Joint for always keeping my stomach happy and satisfied. read more

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

Perry's Joint is definitely special. It feels family, community and all around very warm. The building is full of good people that you want to get to know and to hear their stories. We enjoyed sandwiches after our hike and we were floored by the portions. I had to unhinge my jaw to take my first bite! I also had to save half the sandwich to finish later, they were so large. It was our lucky day because the Hey Joe was available on a Saturday. Usually it's limited. Though, the prices on yelp are wrong. These sandwiches hover around $15. The Hey Joe had all the meats that I wanted (Hot roast beef, pastrami), but the hot link took over the flavor. It was better when I enjoyed the link separately. Would also love more sauce to bring it together. The mustard and mayo wasn't sufficient. The sandwich relied on the flavor of the meat, but for me, a special sauce to bring it together would really complete the meal. The nachos they serve are movie theater style nachos, which I love. Nostalgic round corn chips and bright yellow cheese. Definitely something fun to share. read more

WOW this place will knock your socks off. Not only were we greeted by Perry himself (Pasadena royalty) the atmosphere is so warm and inviting. We ordered the guru, the big band, and a New York dog. 1. I think they make their own sauerkraut! The hotdog had a great snap and an incredible bun. 2. The guru was on sourdough and my goodness it was so tasty. Hot Pastrami and turkey is an amazing combo! 3. The big band on sweet wheat as Perry suggested was the home run. Pastrami roast beef and turkey piled high. W O W 10/10 Topped it off with an Arnold Palmer and this experience was for the books! We will be back FORSURE. read more

I really wanted to give them 5 stars because their food is amazing!!! But sadly, my order of 5 items was not met correctly when I specified leaving out certain toppings and the person on the phone even repeated it. I arrived to struggle with parking (not allowed to park in the lot right behind or you will be towed. So gotta find street parking! There is a beautiful mural right across from the building. There are lots of outdoor seating and other areas inside to sit and dine. Loved the jazz music playing. There was a long line (which validated even more how good this place is) and lots of hard working employees! The guy who helped me was not the same who took my order so I wonder if that contributed to specifics being left out. I had also requested a Perry's Punch and Jalapeno chips and he would have forgotten that if I didn't speak up (the owner remembered the chips). My friend tipped me off that Thursdays and Fridays they have a tri tip sandwich special *cue drooling* I ordered the Hey Joe and it was amazing. It was also my first time trying Squaw bread and I am super impressed with how sweet and delicious and soft it is!!!! Would definitely come back! I also want to try their ice cream. And sit inside to listen to jazz :0) read more

Perry's Joint is absolutely phenomenal. "How good can sandwich get?" Well you really just have to try for yourself. My friend got the egg salad sandwich and I got the hey joe which is a hot sandwich loaded with pastrami, roast beef, and hot link. I love bringing a friend, that way we can split halfsies and try both!! The egg salad sandwich is as classic as it gets, the egg salad itself is incredibly creamy, delicious, and we'll-balanced with all the fresh veggies. The hot Joe came out steaaamming and loaded in all its glory. The hot link is such a perfect addition. I'm drooling as I'm recalling my experience and writing this. They also have milkshake, smoothies, hot dogs, nachos, and more... like what?! Not only is the food amazing, the staff is so attentive and friendly. I was able to have a quick chat with Perry, the owner, and his love for the food and kindness is infectious! read more

Perry's is known for its freshly made and customizable sandwiches. Customers appreciate the quality of ingredients and the option to tailor their sandwiches to personal preferences. The staff is so warm and kind definitely gives a down south vibe. I recommend calling ahead to order as it can take about 20 mins or longer to get your order pending how many items your order -- yet absolutely worth the wait. So happy to see they are opening more locations in the Pasadena area. read more

Sandwich extrodenaire, fresh ingredients and plenty of protein. Half is enough for an entire meal.

Best sandwich I have had in a long time. The bread was fresh and the lettuce was abundant and sandwiched between the roast beef. It was large enough to feed 2! Wish I lived closer. read more

I will definitely be back. Food was great!! Large fresh portions!! Customer service was a 10!! You can definitely tell it's a local favorite. read more

Great energy and vibe to this place. Hard time deciding on my first bite as a PJ virgin. Ordered the Hey Joe. Insanely good. The hot link takes the meat heavy Dagwood up a notch, if that's even possible. It's like a salt pork bomb in your mouth. Granted! Could not splurge on this too often but there are many more healthy options. Incredibly friendly service and meticulously crafted sandwiches. It's the real deal. read more
