Gene’s Grinders of Monrovia, California!!!
Easy to miss, sad if you do!
Located just east of the Downtown monrovia sign on Myrtle and Walnut. First building on the corner. A hidden gem!!!
Wow!!!! That’s all I can say.
I just had the best meatball sandwich in Los Angeles and had to make this review and video to help highlight where they are located.
I lived in Monrovia for nearly 4 years and never ate here until today. I am only in town for one more week!!! I wish I had more time to eat here again!!!
The bread is so soft and fluffy, melts in your mouth. The ad I seen said they bake it fresh everyday.
The beef meatballs were tender, juicy and cooked perfectly. You literally couldn’t make it better.
The marinara sauce is what surprised me. Usually it’s too sweet or too salty but here at Gene’s Grinders it is perfectly balanced.
And last, the cheese. It melts like real cheese so it isn’t that fake plastic stuff at regular places. This is the real deal and I thoroughly enjoyed that freaking sandwich sheesh!!!!
100 out of 5 stars!!!
If I come back to Los Angeles I will definitely come back to Gene’s Grinders for a sub sandwich.
Amazing!!!

Sandwiches are ok, the bread is soft and tasty. I was in the area so gave it a try but probably wouldn’t go out of my way to eat here. Got the pastrami dip and gene grinder sandwich with avocado but they forgot the avocado so had to take it back. Long lines & wait that day about 12:30pm.

Genes is a place that needs no introduction. In my opinion, this place has the best pastrami in the valley. Anytime I feel like a sub, this is my go to. I had the Meatball today and as expected, it hit. Staff is always friendly. Vibe is Sub shop right out of the 50’s.
Overall if you want a good sub and are in Monrovia, make sure you stop in.

Stopped by Gene’s Grinders while working nearby and was impressed. Fresh ingredients, well-built sandwiches, and solid portions. The bread was great and everything tasted balanced, not sloppy.
Quick service, good value, and worth the stop. Will be back.

I can’t say the sandwich was anything spectacular, however it was still delicious! Quick and fast service. They have daily specials on weekdays for specific sandwiches. Will be trying again.

PHENOMENAL FOOD AND SERVICE!
I came across this spot from an ad in Instagram one day. Thought I’d give it a shot and now whenever I’m feeling a solid sandwich this is my go to! Pictured below is a 6″ tuna with all of their toppings, 6″ meatball, 12″ pastrami grinder, and a 12″ combo. The pictures can’t describe how heavy these sandwiches are! Youre definitely getting your money’s worth plus fresh soft bread and fresh ingredients! On top of that, you’re getting amazing service! Shout out to Christian, had a great conversation with him and he even invited me to join him to train jiu jitus! Youre going to feel like home here!

In the middle of quiet downtown Monrovia, off the main drag Myrtle, is the unassuming Gene’s Grinders. Simple menu, reasonable prices (get the large) and most important for a deli, quality bread. Without good bread you’re animal cobbling together your sustenance. You’re an upright human and it’s not too much to ask for good bread.
I had the Milanesa ( breaded steak) as the Thursday special. Quality. Do yourself a favor and ask more from your sandwhich.
Recently had the hot roast beef dip. Ordered the small so I could eat the second d half later. Fail! I ate both sitting there outside. Fries were also hot and crispy.

First visit, very good sandwich and friendly staff.
I had the pastrami dip with a side of fries. Very good pastrami (tasty, very little fat), fresh white roll, fries served hot.
Surprisingly small store, 6 inside tables with outside covered patio seating.
Rough parking lot, not very pedestrian friendly.
Recommended.

We tried the beef dip and the genes special. We sat outside and enjoyed our delicious sandwiches. The bread was so fresh and tasty. It would be delicious hot with butter. The au jus was so hot and flavorful. The French fries were hot and crispy. This place is a hidden treasure. Ten out of ten would totally recommend.
