This restaurant setting has a casual, no-frills, unpretentious atmosphere. I do have to say it was very clean. The sandwiches are good and they don't hold back on the meats. The lady at the counter was a little dry but not rude. The outside is kind of shady but don't get fooled by it. Go in and give them a try. read more

Best subs in town for decades! Our family has gone to Jacks since the 90's and they have always had consistently fresh and delicious subs. They also offer other items which taste great. Thank you Jacks and look forward to visiting again soon. read more

This place has been here my whole life. I still come in for a pastrami every once and a while. It's served on a torpedo roll which in not conventional but it works. Pastrami is more on the lean side which is nice for a change. Staff is typical Mom and Pop. Vibe is hole in the wall. All in all though...they put out a decent sandwich. read more

Look, I know you've probably seen some of the pictures of the place and probably made a "this joint doesn't look appetizing" face, but let me tell you, the sandwiches are great and the prices are greater. The lady is super nice and lets you customize as you want it. A real mom-and-pop store. No frills, just the essentials. Stop going to Subway and Jersey Mike's. read more

Back again, food is just as good. As always, the value is amazing here. As of today, they have a quarter pound hamburger combo for 899. Any other burger place is at least $13. You can get a 6 inch pastrami combo with fries and a drink for $10. The interior does not much simple however the owners hard-working and put love into the food. read more

Everything is so fresh! I use to live in El Monte but I moved to Fontana 16 years ago and I still make the trip to jacks whenever I want a fresh authentic sandwich. It's worth the drive. read more

I'd define this as a gem of a hole in the wall. First off the place is kind of dirty and it kinda looks like a house. When it comes to the food though the quality is top notch. French Fries - crispy golden brown, perfectly seasoned (9/10) Hoagie Steak and Cheese Hot Sub - this is an absolute must get. The meat was a tad sweet and tangy but also had this good balance of salt. With the vegetables and cheese really makes this a complete sandwich. (10/10) Chicken Teriyaki Bowl - this is a standard bowl but honestly it was pretty tasty. Seemed like fresh chicken breast smothered in sauce. Basic but quality ingredients. (8/10) I live around the area and this is going to be my new goto sandwich place, it's that good. Small parking lot, hole in the wall dining area, delicious food. Come check it out!! read more

Place Doesn't feel clean. The cashier is also the cook and doesn't wear gloves. Food was okay but also didn't taste fresh. Wouldn't go back read more

Got fried onion rings and a pastrami sandwich to share with a friend, the total came out to be $15 and was the perfect amount for 2 peoplr. The pastrami sandwich was a bit too salty for me but otherwise delicious. I love how thick the pastrami cuts are. The onion rings were super crispy and hot. Undersalted but balanced out the saltiness of the pastrami. For a Saturday lunch it was pretty empty so despite the small parking lot there was plenty of parking available. The decor inside seems dated and could use an upgrade. Staff is friendly and patient. read more

Good amount of size for its low price. Hidden gem in El Monte. Come support this small business.

Good local spot, very reasonable prices , pretty good food. You'll find something you like support small local businesses

The sandwich equivalent of a dive bar. Small, pretty dated, but full of good stuff inside. Still the freshness and flavors of their sandwiches might surprise you. There's nothing artisan here. Gordon Ramsey doesn't work here part time. Instead, you'll get the kind of fresh quality sandwich you might get from mom's kitchen. Chicken teriyaki has big chunks of white meat chicken nestled atop cheese, shredded lettuce, onions, pickles and tomatoes. It's a good size and a fantastic value at about $7.99 for a foot long. I'd definitely stop by again. You should too read more

Jack's Sub - Chicken teriyaki sandwich. Pretty solid choice - Burgers Near Me - El Monte, California

Jack's Sub was one of those places that I always passed by but never tried during the decades when I lived in El Monte. Wow, have I been missing out!! If you can only order one thing from here, the hoagie steak and cheese hot sub is the way to go. The marinated beef is soo good and reminds me of Korean BBQ short rib meat. The large order at $9.39 is such a deal! If the hoagie steak and cheese is off the menu, the teriyaki chicken hot sub ($7.99 for a large) is a good runner-up. The pieces of chicken are juicy and lean. The teriyaki sauce is delicious. But if the hoagie is there, sorry teriyaki chicken, I'd have to go with the hoagie instead, but you're not a bad second choice. BF and I have ordered a large side of fries ($3.59) to pair with the sandwich every time we've come. They fry it fresh after we order and it has the right combination of size, texture, and taste. We end up finishing the fries first before we even get to the sandwiches! They do close on Sundays, so make sure to get your hoagie sub fix on the other days of the week! read more

Jack's Sub - Beef Teriyaki Plate is really good. - Burgers Near Me - El Monte, California

I haven't been here since I was in High School back in 1994 and I decide to try it for old time sake . I can't believe how good everything still taste and the prices are so reasonable. I had the small fried burrito about $1.59 each Exactly how it sounds ,still good and crunchy I also ordered the onion rings (beer battered) Yummy ,that how I normally like them . I also had the Pastrami sandwich ,did not disappoint,Bread so fresh and the pastrami meat had the right amount of flavor, fresh provolone cheese. Not the friendliest staff at the counter taking your order but the prices is good and so is the food. read more

Everything we've tried has been very good. Love the fried burritos, chicken teriyaki, fries, and onion rings.

Great Spot For a Pastrami Sub. Family owned place. Husband and wife. Prices are fair for the portions. Derive is a walk up counter and wait for the food with cafeteria style Dining. Ambience is of an old school mom and pop place. Very friendly read more

After finishing a job, me and my coworker were heading back to the shop already wondering what we're going to have for lunch. A quick Yelp search yielded this place which was on our way back. Noticing the great reviews intrigued us enough to stop by and try out their lunch specials. On the outside it is a humble mom and pop diner. Parking was small but there were spaces. Going inside it was also very humble looking. But from these appearances hides great sandwiches for me and my coworker to discover. We both ordered the Pastrami combo which was a 6 inch sub sandwich, with fries, and a 20 oz drink of your choice. I was excited that they carried Orange Bang in their selection of drinks! Going back to the shop we sat down and had our lunch. My first bite told me the bread was fresh and toasted while the Pastrami was full of salty goodness counter balanced by the sour crunchy pickles complimented by the Provolone cheese slices. Every bite was awesome. The fries were nice and crispy while my Orange Bang took me back to my childhood days of enjoying this drink. What a great afternoon for lunch! Definitely on my list of repeat lunches. Especially that I know that they have Orange Bang too! read more

Best subs in SoCal, I say that with all the confidence in he world. Teriyaki beef is the best sub.

Came here for lunch for the first time after driving by it for over a year. I called in the order and gave the lady over the phone my order (6" Steak Haogie and Cheese and a small order of onion ring". At the end of ordering, she just said thank you and hung up. Normally, I would give them my name or number, but not here! Lol. They have a small parking lot, but if you plan yo go back North, I'd recommend parking in the side street. Once you walk in, you smell oil! This is expected, as fries and onion rings were tossed in the fryer non-stop. I got here about 15 minutes after ordering and it was just being packed as I arrived. The lady did not tel me an ETA, so you may want to ask. Steak Haogie w/ cheese - Another yelper said it was like bulgogi and I wasn't sure what they meant until I tasted it. It tasted exactly like bulgogi! Don't expect your typical sandwich here, but there was nothing bad about it. Meat was not chewy, it was flavorfully marinated and the tomatoes and lettuce were fresh. The 6" itself was a pretty good size already, so if you also order a small onion ring or fries, that should be good enough. Onion Rings - Nice and crispy, not much more to say. It came with a side of ranch. Overall, food was pretty good. Nothing bad to say about it. Total came out to exactly 9.99 for the 6" steak and cheese and a small onion ring. I do recommend calling about 15 minutes before pick up so you can skip the wait. read more

Outstanding or horrific, I won't waste our time reviewing average. So today myself and the homie J were out in the El Monte area to make a pickup. It was time for lunch, so we busted out trusty Yelp and looked for what was good around. Jack's Sub came up and sounded good. The looks from the outside didn't really wow me, but you can never judge a book by it's cover. The inside matched the out, but we noticed it was decently busy and we where there after the lunch rush for sure. I didn't have time to really cruise the menu, then someone got behind us. J went first and he got what I was looking at, the Bonanza. I quickly picked the next item I was considering, the Jack's Sub. I also went for a small order of fries cause it sounded good. Since it was our first time here, we decided to go half / half, so we could both try 2 sandwiches. First I went for the Jack's Sub. It's a cold sub with Ham, Turkey, and Salami with provolone. They top it with lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and mayo. The bread was really good! Fresh, soft, with a good chewiness to it. The amount of meat was just perfect, as were the toppings. I would and will be getting this again. Then I went for the Bonanza. It's another cold sub, this time with Ham, Turkey, Roast Beef, Avacado, and Swiss. Again topped with Lettuce, Tomato, Pickles, Onion, and Mayo. I just have to say this was really good as well. In fact, I don't know which one I liked better. I am always searching for a good sandwich spot, and it seems to be harder and harder to find recently. My scale starts with Subw** as being the standard at a solid 3 stars. Jack's Sub easily cruises into the 4 star range, even 4.5 if I could. Not quite a 5 since I think the facility should play a role in a 5 star rating, but the food is on point! I will be returning soon as I felt there were a few other sandwiches I would like to try. Grilled Pastrami with cheese sounds really good, especially since their bread is really good. Don't judge a book by it's cover, make sure to give Jack's Sub a try! Bonanza - Really good! Jack's Sub - Dig it! Fries - Your average burger stand fries, served up fresh. read more

I was craving for pastrami the other day and was hoping for a place that is closer then The Hat. I type on Google and found this place. Not gonna lie, this place looks run down as hell but the pastrami sandwich is amazing. I ordered a small fries as well which is not bad. There was only one staff who take orders and cook that day and he speaks broken English so you have to patient and ask him to repeat again if you don't get what he's saying. Except for a few items everything are well within $10 so you are getting the best bang for your bucks. They even serve beer if you just got off from a shift and needs unwinding. read more

Husband and his co workers love this place. Large menu with hot and cold sandwiches. The place is pretty dicey, but affordable for a quick lunch. Sandwiches are pretty good for a mom and pop shop. Italian and chicken are the usual order for us. Adding avocado is a must. They have house made pickled carrots on the counter too. Accepts visa. read more

After working with the city and driving by this place for nearly 2 years I finally stopped to give it a chance. I orders a cheeseburger combo which comes with fries and a 20oz of soda (your choice). However, After demolishing my cheeseburger I definitely felt the need to say this isn't your typical place. It's very homey and simple. The food is exceptional and the people who run it are extremely good people. If your ever in town and want something quick to eat like a burger or a sub sandwich are even a teriyaki bowl stop by and give them a chance. It don't look like much but this place definitely gave me a memory of how burger joints used to be in the 90s. read more

This sandwich/teriyaki/burger joint is on a nondescript corner in a quiet neighborhood. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but had offers great stuff. I usually can't get full on a foot long sun at other places, but here I can barely finish one. The Jack's sub and Italian sub were tasty, fresh, flavorful, full of meat, cheese and veggies. Prices are a little throwback - your dollar goes far here and the menu list price is the price at the register - no tax! Even nicer is that it looks like a family run business with loyal clientele. The customer in front of me looked at the young teenager working the register and said to another older staff lady - "I've been coming here so long and remember when he was just this tall!" (Pointing to his knee). Great stuff. Support local businesses like this one - I know I will! read more
