I have been coming here since I was a kid. The food is good, not 5 star gourmet but it hits the spot. I love eating the large teriyaki steak sandwich every time I eat here. read more

I haven't been here in a long time but had the chance to try it once again. Best decision ever made. The sandwiches here are perfect. The vegetables and bread are fresh. Friendly staff and your food is made to order in a timely manner. I'm so happy this business is still thriving. read more

I ordered a tuna sub and I got very sick and I had diarrhea. I guess they don't clean there utensils. I'm sorry i don't have a picture I threw the sandwich away. read more

It dosnt look like much, and isnt when it comes customer service. Dont try to order anything over the phone. If they dont understand you they just hang up. You try to call back and they let it bo to voice mail. When i got there I asked for a turkey bacon cheese sub. Then i asked if they might do the bacon extra crispy because i dont like flabby bacon. The owner / cook started to yell at me " why do you have to be so difficult? " I dont think that was being difficult, just wanted my sandwich the way i wanted it, because im payed for it. Ill find anothersub shop. read more

Been going to jacks subs for 15 years and it never disappoints. Such a great local spot, staff is super nice and clean as well !

HIDDEN GEM!!! This place had been serving up hearty sandwiches for years. Simple no frills just good food! I also love helping out the smaller, family owned businesses If you get a chance stop bye and treat yourself to some feel good grub read more

This spot has one of the best pastrami sandwiches i ever had. Combo with fries are good too. read more

Great food , love the chicken bowl and the chessesteak hoagie its very delicious . fast service too especially when in a hurry on your lunch break . read more

Their food is good. Ordered pastrami burger and Italian cold cut. Their cold cut has a great amount of meat and fresh quality. It looks a bit rundown. I've been here twice and sadly their customer service is poor. I would rather not deal with the encounter. Asking simple question like "does it come with mustard?" makes me feel like I'm burdening them. Asked if I can get extra napkins and she handed me 1. Even though she only gave me 1 the first time. For what I ordered and spent it's not hard to have better customer service or give me more than one napkin LOL. read more

This little place in El Monte is one of my favorite sandwich joints. Run by a very sweet couple, the selection of food is good and the subs are sizable and delicious. The bread is soft and fresh and the meats are tasty. Better yet they will make it how YOU what. I get the Italian with Swiss cheese instead, then add more Swiss. If you order it, you're welcome ;-) read more

Great freshly made sub's. I've tried the hoagie steak and cheese. I got some meatball sauce on the side to put on my sub for a little added flavor. Al I can say is bomb.com. These to go boxes are super convenient to haul all that goodness. read more

I eat here regularly as it's just a block away from my office. The food is always good. The owners are nice. I usually order an avocado burger and fries but their steak and cheese is really good too. Best thing about this place is their price! They are not expensive at all and the food is consistent and good size portions. What else can you ask for ? read more

First of all, I got seriously sick from here. this place is gross! It's dirty. Everything inside looks greasy. I do not understand how it has such high ratings. I tried it because of the rating. I got the Italian sun and it was so bad. The meat was slicked so thick that it only had one slice per half of sandwich. I had about half of it before I threw it out. I got so sick with stomach pains, I was in the bathroom the rest of the day. My husband got the bbq beef and cheese. He said it was the grossest sandwich he had ever had. He only ate half and got sick too. Beware before eating here. read more

Every sandwich I got here is excellent! Nice fresh bread, and fresh meat! The Italian, the meatball, and The Bonanza are my personal favorites. Prices are on point too!! read more

This is a review for to go orders. We got these sandwiches to bring to a dodger game. By the time we got there it was soggy but still good! I got the hoagie sandwich which is bulgogi meat and cheese. It was very flavorful and brought a great fusion of foods together. read more

Food is all ways supper good and fresh and the service is excellent I would recommend to eat their any time

I just had their Italian sub...I fell in love on the first bite!please if you guys ever pass by this place you need to come try it out for yourself! Trust me..you won't be disappointed. Owners are very nice..Big plus for me! read more

not always does the nice places have good food but for a run down place i do like it here lived in El Monte my whole life and just recently went here and man have i really missed out on a Gem in our little town!!! read more

Jacks is a good spot for a quick bite. You won't get 15 sauce options or 5 bread choices. The toppings are solid, the bread is fresh and they're very nice. The fries are always really good: salty crispy and hot. Onion rings are also good. Think of the sandwiches here like your mom or wife made one for you. Then made one for me. read more

Mike is an awsome owner and i love this place for its fast service and friendly staff. the california government is trying to snuff out places like this using covid as an excuse. Get out and support your local businesses before they're gone read more

This is a solid sandwich shop on the north side of El Monte. I have been coming here since I was a kid, but hadn't been in a while. I always remember enjoying their sandwiches and they were one of the few convenient food locations in the area for quite some time. The area has gotten more options to choose from, but it's still a good option for a quick bite or to-go orders. They have sandwiches, both hot and cold as burgers, teriyaki bowls and cooked sides. I almost always choose something different when I go. Their cooked sandwiches are always a great option as well as their cold cut sandwiches. Everything is made to order and their fries and onion rings are hot and fresh. Service has always been solid as well. Can't really go wrong here. read more

Well! Just another place in the Great City of El Monte that is hit or miss! I have been here before a few times and Jack's Subs is okay. Just Okay! We were on are way home when we said lets give this place a try. We saw that they had a Hamburger Special for $5.99. The Burger was Bacon, Avocado Cheeseburger with fries and a Drink. The meat was dry but they did give you a lot of Avocado which helped. El Monte is just a town that doesn't try or need to have great restaurants. I don't know what it is but there are so few places that I would even call GOOD! Jack's Subs is more a Sub shop. So maybe that is why the burger was just OK. I have come here in the pass and gotten the Turkey Sub which was really good. They also had a 12 inch Pastrami Sub for $4.99. On another note they did have 60 ounce Pitchers of Bud for $6.00 bucks. I do recall another day coming here with my best friend and trying that special. Give them a try if you dare. Cheers! read more

A real local hole in the wall, Mom and Pop shop that is run by a Korean or Chinese couple. I like this place and have had sandwiches from Jack's Sub on at least a dozen occasions. This joint seems to subsist on blue collar workers and locals (from what I've seen of the patrons around lunch hour). I'm sure people come back for the same reasons I do: Good food and reasonable prices. The ingredients are fresh and the offerings are tasty. One last point. I just read a review down below that the place is dirty or unclean. For what it's worth, I've never seen that. In fact, the dining area is always quite tidy. Run down and worn/aged? Yes, but not dirty, filthy, greasy or even dusty. read more

Jack's is the place to go for a great sub. The ingredients are fresh, prices are decent, service is fast and the owners are really nice. I stick to the turkey, sometimes with bacon, sub. I recommend eating at the restaurant though. One time I took it to go, mind I live 5 minutes away, and when I got home the bread was already soggy. The hamburgers are just okay, nothing special. On the other hand, the teriyaki chicken plate is a must try! The teriyaki sauce may not be original but the rice, veggies and chicken are cooked just right. I also noticed the owners don't really enforce the "one refill" rule posted on the soda machine so drink up! I gave 5 stars for the food and service, but the floors need some serious cleaning and the restroom is really musty. read more

Welcome to your local mom n pop sandwich shop. I drive by, walk by and jog by this place often and finally pulled myself over to give it a try during lunch. First impression....they close early but serve alcohol....who the hell drinks here?!?! Food: Ordered a Pastrami sandwich with fries and a drink. I forget how much it cost but it wasn't much. Sandwich was not good and not bad. Lacked a fresh touch of ingredients. Bread felt old. Cheese didn't seem to match the sandwich. Fries...you can't mess up fries. Service: Order at the counter and wait. Lady was nice enough. Environment: This place looks like it attract a lot of homeless people. The interior is very dumpy and not the trendy dumpy. I mean like dumpy! Price: Cheap quick meal. Food: 2 Service: 3 Environment: 1 Price: 4 read more

Not bad. Friendly service. Mom and pop place that makes your standard burgers , fries and sandwiches but also teriyaki chicken, beef and short rib bowls. This place Kind of resembles a mashed a B-Mans and a Jack in the Box together. read more

I come here often to support local Mom & Pop business. At times, you'll even see their kids doing homework. The food is good and fairly priced. I recommend the tuna sub and the chicken salad. Their cheese burger taste pretty good too. I usually do phone orders and my food is usually ready within ten-fifteen minutes. Very friendly people. read more

Absolutely love their Bonanza sandwich. It is my favorite! Way better then going to Subway and the price is perfect.

Found this place through Yelp. Decided to give it a try since it had everything I was currently craving for lunch, teriyaki chicken bowl, sandwich, fries. I couldnt make up my mind on what to eat but I seen they had a teriyaki beef sandwich. Never heard of that but sounded good so I thought I'd give it a try. I called in my order prior to picking it up and when I arrived they had it ready for me. This was a hole in the wall restaurant, family owned, but the best sandwich I ever had. The bread was soft and the beef was perfect! I will definitely be going back to try other items on the menu. I paid $8 for 6in sub, small fries and small drink. read more
