Just stopped by for an early lunch, first time here The turkey avocado sandwhich was amazing Too early for the tomato bisque as it won't be ready until 11am, but I will have to plan a trip out for it again Staff was amazing, chef with the mowhawk was super friendly and personable read more

My team and I were working in the area to help a wildfire-affected couple and found what looked like a great sandwich spot. We showed up and the infamous elderly woman with a walker was working the cash register. We asked for a bbq roast beef sandwich with chopped pepperoncini (the menu lists available sides and condiments, this was one). The old woman shook her head no and wagged her finger at us. We tried to push back and request the peppers, and it seemed that she wrote down our specification. We the asked for a Reuben with horseradish added (again, available on the menu). The woman made a disgusted face, wagged her finger in our face again, and told us no. At this point a gentleman from the back let us know that they would be able to accommodate our request, and the woman again appeared to write something down. We ordered a pastrami sandwich, add pickles. Again, finger wag. At this point we were told pickles will come on the side. Ok, understandable. Get me out of here. Ordered two more sandwiches with no specifications because we didn't feel like being berated again. Now the credit card transaction: Woman didn't understand how to handle the transaction, again the gentleman from the back had to explain to her that she can tap the card on the machine. After 20 minutes we received our food with absolutely zero modifications and no explanation. I guess she was faking writing down what we would like. Honestly, the worst part was the sandwiches weren't even great. For such a highly rated place, my entire team was disappointed with our orders. We could've made better at home with a normal amount of effort. Not worth the time, hassle, or attitude. Will not return, and left a bad taste in our mouths for the local businesses. For a town recovering from a disaster, you sure aren't friendly. read more

The place still had that mid-day hum when we walked in, like everyone was quietly negotiating their lunch break at the same time. I stopped by Berge's for a casual lunch, nothing ambitious, just something warm and easy. We ordered the grilled cheese, a turkey and avocado sandwich, and a cup of tomato soup. The grilled cheese was decent -- nicely toasted on the outside with a good golden crust, but the inside felt pretty standard, nothing especially rich or gooey to make it memorable. The turkey and avocado sandwich was fresh enough, with clean flavors and a soft roll, though it leaned a bit plain overall. The avocado added some creaminess, but the sandwich as a whole didn't quite stand out. The tomato soup was warm and smooth, comforting in that familiar way, though it tasted more like a reliable classic than something house-made with a distinct twist. Service was quick and efficient. Our food came out without much of a wait, and everything was handled smoothly. No extra frills, but no issues either. Overall, Berge's feels like a dependable lunch stop when you want something simple and fast, even if it's not especially memorable. It's the kind of place that works well for a no-fuss midday bite -- just maybe not the spot you'd go out of your way for. read more

Great food. Deli sandwiches are made to order and fresh. Owner is so nice. All the chefs have worked there for years. Great soup and many choices of sandwiches and drinks. They have a dessert freezer full of goodies. Not fancy just good food. Quick and easy. Nice to get it to go for a picnic etc. But interior is good to eat inside too. read more

My hiusband has been coming to Berge's since he was a kid. This family owned restaurant had been open since 1971. The restaurant is cute and decorated with nostalgia over the years. Service is counter service and the bring the food to your table. We got our food rather quickly. I had the avocado and turkey sandwich and a side of potato salad. My husband got the grilled roast beef sandwich in sourdough and tomato basil garlic bisque. All were delicious! read more

Came here for the first time when my son was in Football camp. Ordered some sandwiches for my family. The employees were very family. You can definitely tell it's a local spot a lot of customers and locals going to get sandwiches.. I got a chicken sandwich and it was very mushy eating it so I was pretty disappointed. A couple other sandwiches have the same issue as well although one of the sandwiches we got was pretty tasty and not mushy so that's a plus. It's a small little place but def give it a try . Everybody seemed to enjoy their food while I was there, so maybe we just ordered the wrong sandwiches. Worth a try if you're in the area. read more

Took me awhile to try this spot out. It's a local spot known for their sandwiches and tomato soup. It's actually pretty good. Everything seemed fresh. But nothing really stood out to me. read more

Classic local favorite sandwich shop with the same comfortable throwback vibe as when it first came to the scene in 1972! I had the honor of having my order taken by the original patriarch at the counter, and she even asked if I needed a receipt. There's a reason Berge's has been around for over 50 years and the food did not disappoint. Enjoyed the classic tuna melt with grilled sour dough and my friend had the roast beef. The tomato bisque was also excellent. Some comfortable seating in a classic weathered venue. A great treat following our Angeles forest hike to the falls. read more

Great little Sandwich shop. Great selection, good service, and fun little spot. Old school both give the classic feel. I would certainly go again! read more

Found from glowing reviews on yelp so I came here mid visit to Descanso gardens. The shop was super simple, there is parking in the back and the door was open so you don't have to walk around and enter from the front. Toasted pastrami sandwich - So good. They weigh out the pastrami and give it a good sear before throwing it on the sandwich. You get so much more flavour from doing that. The bread was toasted well and every was so good together! Would recommend! Avo roast beef sandwich - Slightly different from their famous avocado turkey sando. Avocado was super refreshing and they had the right amount of mayo to keep the flavours together. Roast beef stuck out a bit, so I would probably go back to the turkey to keep the balance. read more

Berge's is old-school in the best way. Wood paneling, cozy vibe, nothing fancy.Just solid sandwiches done right. I tried the grilled artichoke sandwich (on what I think was buttery sourdough) and it was crispy, gooey, flavorful, and it even held up after I took it to the park to eat. The grilled artichokes were soft and tasty, the cheese melted just right, and paired with jalapeño chips it was the perfect $10 lunch. What really stood out though was the service. nstead of just calling my name, they walked over and personally handed me my order. A small detail, but honestly you don't see that much anymore and it made the experience feel that much better. Definitely a spot worth stopping into if you're in La Cañada. read more

Solid sandwiches at a no nonsense price. We've been coming here for years and the quality sandwiches have been the consistent throughout! Great local hangout! read more

Delicious! It was suggested by a local and they were absolutely right! I got the pastrami ruben!

Was really looking forward to this place after the positive reviews, unfortunately what I ordered, I was not impressed. Granted, I didn't get what was most recommended, but based off of that sandwich, I probably will not be going back. First of all, the most recommended sandwich is their pastrami, and I happen to get their French dip. I am a sucker for a great French dip, and unfortunately, this would do not live up to my expectations. And when I say it did not meet up to my expectations, I don't mean that I'm being a snob, I mean the "Au Jus" was incredibly salty. I'm sure this was a one off, but unfortunately, I happen to get it. I'm not saying that I would never go back, yelp hasn't let me down. So I would definitely consider going back here again, unfortunately I don't live close to this area so the likelihood of that happening is very slim. Overall, without the dip, the sandwich was really good. Now I wish I would've ordered the pastrami so I could give a better review in my opinion since that's what most people talk about, but unfortunately, I happen to choose this dish and I wish that I chose pastrami instead. read more

Wanted to love it, but the chicken breast sandwich was terrible. It looked like the chicken had been steamed or poached. It was an awful color and texture. Forget about flavor. Not even a consideration. Again, wanted to love this venerable institution, but couldn't stop wondering how they remain in business, read more

best sandwich ever. very nice guy. would come again very nice vibe. owner is a sweet guy who is very cool

We have had a consistent experience coming here for sandwiches, and they do well at making orders placed over the phone within 15-20 minutes which is convenient. I like that they have their own parking lot and have never had trouble finding parking while coming here whether for lunch or at the end of the day. Inside is nothing special but at least they have tables and chairs if you want to eat inside. I prefer this as a better option to a subway with better meats and breads but it always seems to leave me wanting more. I'll be back if I need a quick sandy but otherwise we have another go to sandwich place that beats this one out. read more

BERGES! What a classic. We love BERGES. Fantastic sandwiches, soup and ambience. Really nice family has owned it for many years.

Stopped here for a quick bite and felt like a local. We got a tuna melt and a blta. Both sandwiches were delicious but the homemade baklava took the crown. Not too sweet and the texture was so good! The service was great and fast. read more

It feels so good to scratch an itch. That how I felt when I bite into the grilled artichoke on sourdough with a side of chili from Berge's. And I gotta say, the pickles, oh man, that is heaven. I liken the artichoke sandwich to a tuna melt or chicken salad sandwich with a artichoke flavor to it. The dressing over powers the artichoke creating a milder subtlety. It's very different then the grilled or deep fried artichoke panini. With the side of chili, it's a perfect pair on a cold LA winter. It's an institution of La Canada Flintridge and I'm glad I can still support my local business with wo much pleasure. read more

What a gem of a find for us. We were going to Descanso Gardens and wanted to grab lunch first. We found this place on Yelp and happy we did. I had one of the best tuna sandwiches I've ever had and my friend had the Reuben. He's a connoisseur of Reuben sandwiches and he said it was one of the best he's had. The service was friendly and they were busy so people know!! We will definitely be back! read more

Whatever you do, order the Tomato Bisque Soup with bread for dip. I dipped my tuna melt into the soup, and it was delicious!

Enjoyed the old school vibes of this sandwich shop. I like how simple it is. I ordered the famed turkey avocado sandwich. I totally forgot to get the tomato soup I've seen mentioned so many times in the reviews. The sandwich was solid. Generous amount of turkey and avocado and it was so tasty. Would recommend! read more

This is one of situations where I "found" this place again after many years. Used to come her back in the 80s when I worked in this area. Almost weekly. Great big menu, lots of great sandwiches, soup, chili and even dessert. Meatless sandwich options too. Ordered the Tomato Bisque Soup, an amazing Turkey Avocado on focaccia and a Pastrami Sandwich, on rye made the traditional way. No pickles. Great little shop, family owned. When he described his father I knew that was the man I used to order from back in the day. Walls show plaques and pictures showing their contributions to the community such as sponsoring many baseball teams and a proud sponsor of dozens of Rose Bowl Parade floats. A grade, clean, plenty of seating but for the most part I think people get it to go. Still can't believe it's been here for this long and I was here 40 yrs ago. . Yelp hours are incorrect, better call and see. Also closed Sunday and Monday now. Prices were very cheap, however the owner stated the menu is changing soon. Seems like this is the last place to raise their prices like everyone else's. Def worth a visit. When back the next day and got a Tuna Melt which was also good. Best around. Nostalgia helps read more

Stopped here for a quick bite on a road trip and rushed to write this review. Julio at the counter was so kind and accommodating! We got the turkey club and pastrami sandwich - both were AMAZING and the service was awesome. Definitely coming back next time we're in the area! read more

I called in my order and it was ready when I arrived. The tomato bisque soup was delish, and the customer service was lovely.

If you like abuse, then this is your spot! The manager was condescending and over the top rude. I was trying to order a sandwich for my husband over the phone, who was having surgery and needed the person who was picking him up to grab something for my husband to eat in the car on the way home (1.5 hours away). This was the most challenging experience for what should have been easy. I felt berated and worn after placing the order and when I asked to pay, he told me they don't take payment over the phone. I begged and pleaded to no avail. So, the driver paid for it and I venmoed him. I will NEVER EVER be going back here. Sorry, not sorry. read more
