I remember really liking it, but for some reason we hadn't been back in a while. This week my husband couldn't stop talking about wanting an Italian sub, and Frumento's immediately came to mind. We drove down and ordered the '58 Classic and another tuna sub, both as combos. The sides absolutely stole the show. The purple cabbage was so good, the coleslaw wasn't my personal favorite but my husband loved it, the four bean salad was absolutely mouthwatering, and the marinated mushrooms were also delicious. I'm genuinely so glad we have leftovers for tomorrow because I'll definitely be thinking about that bean salad again. We'll absolutely be back!

You can make any of their sandwiches into a combo plate for $3 more you get 2 sides (Mombo Meal). Their sides were good but not amazing, personally will be sticking to just their sandwiches. JALAPENO STACK -sooo good! Roast beef, turkey breast and Italian dry salami paired well together. Avocado added perfect creaminess. Their Cheesy Jalapeno Snack Bread is amazing, top had just the right amount of crisp from being toasted. FRUMENTO'S GRILLED PHILLY -opted for half roast beef and half smoked turkey breast and it was just what I needed. Solid hot sandwich. TASTE OF ITALY -a classic cold cut sandwich, it was good but their hot sandwiches were much better. Desserts were a hit or miss here. Tried the Strawberry Cheese cake and that was really good- creamy, airy and not too sweet. Tiramisu was a bust- mainly vanilla cake, bit too sweet, no espresso flavor, cream didn't have any mascarpone cheese flavor at all.

The backstory on this place is amazing, they bake their own bread in house and have been apart of the Monrovia/Duarte community for a very long time! One bite into this hearty grinder and I can see why. WOW OH WOW my new favorite sandwich shop. FIVE STARS through and through. Service is top notch and the quality of the sandwich AKA GRINDER was elite! I went with the turkey add avocado; PERFECT!! My family had the Gene Special and the meatball special. Tried the meatball and was in heaven on the taste we asked for some marinara on the side and that made it extra delicious! I am looking forward to coming back to try the other grinders on the menu, they have daily specials during the week and the Italian sausage/chicken breast caught my eye. The shop is quite small but still has a few tables to sit inside and enjoy the meal. Menu is pretty straightforward, bread is soft and I think what really makes the grinder. Price is good for what you receive... two sizes on the grinders small or large. I was able to enjoy my second half of the SMALL later in the day which was a treat. Large you could probably split half with another person! These are perfect to take Togo and enjoy your day at the park or the beach!! I'm sad I barely found out about this place as I have missed out on some tasty grinders these past couple years. I got some catching up to do!! Thank you to the family who brought this business to life. You have gained a forever customer!! I will continue to recommend and visit this place any chance I get! YUMMMMMS.

After closing in Monrovia, Gene's Grinders opened up a new location in the Target plaza. Inside is…read morenew, clean, and has a few tables. The interior isn't big, so to-go is a good option. I tried two sandwiches. The Gene's special is fantastic, layered with various ingredients that creates a symphony of flavors - one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I also tried the regular meatball sandwich and I was surprised by the generous portion of protein and that it was not messy to eat. However, I would like it if it came with more sauce, because the bread soaked most of it and the meat was left a bit dry. If you bring cash, you can avoid a 3% credit card surcharge. Overall, I recommend others to come try the sandwiches. I'll be back for another go at the Gene's special!

Edit: So i did end up gettinf food poisoning the next day…read more The broth or something was definitely spoiled. Disgusting place. __ First time here. Upon walking into this establishment, i got this weird unfriendly vibe. Thats fine, let the food speak for itself. I ordered the eggplant ricotta w penne, chicken alfredo, and a beef dip to go. Pasta for both dishes are mushy and overcooked. The alfredo sauce was curdled and clumpy and needed salt. I did ask for extra sauce, but this wasnt the issue. Beef sandwich was dry, but hey thats what the dipping broth is for. Unfortunately the broth/au jus was SOUR. I thought it was spoiled and the taste almost made me vomit. Like imagine youre expecting beef broth flavor and instead you get some vinegary liquid taste. I called them and they said the chef JUST tasted it and said they added too much worchestershire sauce. Ok, ill give them the benefit of the doubt that their broth wasnt spoiled since i did taste the worchestershire. BUT why isnt the chef tasting as they cook to control their food quality? I paid for this nasty, sour broth i cant even finish bc it is so gross and taste fermented. Aside from the mushy pasta, the eggplant ricotta was ok. The marinara sauce they use is way too salty. Again, must be bc they dont taste what they cook. In total i spent around $50, and the food is disappointing enough that i wont be returning.

Great customer service and sandwiches. Parking on the streets or behind the building. You can order over the phone, online or in person. They have a separate pick up area if you're pre-ordering (good to know). Love the interior, it's small but cozy. We ordered to go as we had a date with some "Kevin's" (points if you know the movie reference). 5/5 S's The Signage such as the Good Morning sign will leave you with a Smile. Aside from the sign the Service will also give you Satisfaction. Everyone was very friendly and the order came out quickly. 5/5 Trust the Cook (TTC)! Not sure what to get, Trust the cook will be your jam! With so many options it's hard to choose at times. This sandwich is sure to increase your trust. Didn't know what to expect but it was so good! So good that my wife traded me sandwiches after one bite. (That's love to will the others good even in a sandwich). The veggie supreme was a good combo with the TTC. Everything tasted fresh and it was the best sandwich we have had in a while. Nothing beats a good mouth watering sandwich, watching the kids play and seeing the "Kevin's" at the Arboretum. We can't wait to go back and try more off the menu. I'll be trusting my hunger to the cook at the PSC. Go Bless.
