The original Jolly Jug was in South El Monte in the 1930s and people came from all around to eat their famous Pastrami’s and Beef Dip sandwiches. Going into another century of their delicious food and cold beer, you can’t go wrong by making a pit stop here. In a world of hip restaurants trying to reinvent LA cuisine, the Jug is comfort food, done right. ❤️“

“In the kitchen, the boss had a "treat,"
But he thought he was safe from a greet.
When the waiter walked in,
With a wild, knowing grin,
Now the gossip is rich and complete!

The boss in the restaurant, bold,
Thought his secrets were safe to uphold.
But when someone came through,
He turned red, lost his view,
Now they jest about tales that aren’t told!

There once was a boss full of glee,
In the lavatory, feeling quite free.
But the chef walked right in,
Caught him in a spin,
Now they whisper, “What *else* could it be?”

The boss had a “break” in the loo,
With his thoughts and his fantasies, too.
Then a waiter came in,
To a sight that was grim,
Now the kitchen’s all buzzing with “who knew?”

In the office, the boss took a chance,
With his “me time” a curious dance.
But when he got caught,
With hot tension distraught,
Now they tease him with laughter and prance!

The boss thought his secrets were sly,
Till the door swung wide, and oh my!
With a gasp and a stammer,
He fought a bright glamour,
Now his tales are the talk of the fry!

In the lavatory, loud cries arose,
As the boss sat, he felt quite exposed.
With a slam of the door,
Came an employee’s roar,
“Didn’t think you’d be doing *that* pose!

“Awesome breakfast, great service! Will definitely be back to this great Cafe!“

“Not too busy: we arrived shortly after 8AM on a Sunday. They managed to get others' orders out way ahead of ours. Somehow our order slip had gotten "lost". We were subsequently charged for only 1 of our 2 breakfast plates. Decent prices but the first visit was marred by this delay.“

“This place is such a hole in the wall, would honestly come back. This place been around for a while but I never know this place exist because it’s so hidden.The service is a bit slow when prepping the food, but their tacos are to die for. I would come back any day for tacos!Parking lot is shared with other shops but not too busy! The menu is consistent and so is their food!Would come back again! Don’t let the small shop and sketchy look deceive you!“

“My company used Crossroads for a very long project that required catering every weekday for over three weeks. Helen was quick on delivery, she was willing to work with us to add variation to the lunches and her prices could not be beat. The employees we were training highly complimented all the food. Sandwiches, wraps, tacos, bento bowls and salads. All of it was delicious. I cannot thank Helen a Crossroads enough for her hard work and wonderful food.“

“First of all , the atmosphere was calm and excellent not too much noise and not too quiet, the music in the background was just perfect the service for me was 10/10, and the food was just stunningly perfect,
I would for sure recommend this place.“

“👍 Ice coffee🥤& fresh bread🥖
Read the negative reviews… Isn’t that bad if you speak to owner there in the morning. She can fix any issues & willing to accommodate.
True that servers doesn’t speak English, but you can ask casher in front; on other side of bread section.
Most Vietnamese’s food must be eaten ASAP for quality & health. It could only sit in room temperature for very short period of time…otherwise, it will taste hard or spoil.

Parking: Good luck parking in morning especially weekends. Ask security for quick pickup lane at left side private parking…“

“Great wait staff. Plenty of parking extensive menu“

“Even though I didn't even eat there I did go in to see if I can get free food for me and the homie, If I made them all laugh at a comedy ? but they turned me down lol but the food is better than "Denny's"( don't tell Denny's I said that).“

“Friendly staff, delicious food ❗️❗️“

“Passed by a bunch of times but never got a chance to go in. Finally, after all these years, I'm glad I did. Hit the spot!

Parking: The parking lot opens up into the other center. Since it sits on the corner of Baldwin and Duarte, it sort of helps to navigate your way through both busy streets.“

“Great place for a ghost kitchen. Burritos were affordable and delicious. Was shocked to find this place but glad I did. I will definitely be back here next time I'm in town. Also the staff was friendly and helped me order. Be sure to grab lots of napkins.“

“Excellent venue, nice and spacious. The food is quite good with fresh ingredients. The food is sizable. We had French Onion soup which was tasty with thick layer of cheese. Cop Salad was ok. Grilled chinchitos pepper the peppers were tough and chewy. Tuna Poke bowl, the fish was good and French. Fish and chip the fish was nice and crispy and they were very generous with chips. Grilled Chicken sandwich was also delicious. The service was a bit weak maybe they don’t have enough serves.“

“Very courteous staff. Waitress who came to serve me was polite and respectful. Ordered omelette and pancake. Ordered to eat there and switched to carry out. She was respectful and immediately brought boxes and helping transfer. Food was overall tasty

Parking: Open parking lot“

“Super clean and my Favorite Mediterranean Chicken Salad !! The Combibation breakfast burritos are delicious. We enjoy their breakfast specials too !! And their staff are really nice great food and service. Drive thru is pretty quick as well but we enjoy dinning in.“

“Great reviews on burritos is what brought me here. They're not wrong. Got the supreme which has all the meats and a chorizo one. Really good. However, pricey. Came out to 30 bucks for those 2 with tax. I'm still new to the area so that for me is a lot. I'm used to paying 8-10 bucks per burrito.“

“This place is lowkey and so legit. We love getting the taiwanese purple rice rolls, pork buns, and hot tea (that tea is a steal ngl). There's enough menu items you can take your time exploring, or eat some tried and trues. Everything tastes made from scratch. Prices are affordable. The servers are so sweet and kind. Like what's not to love?? The majority of customers are Chinese speaking, but we got by fine with English XD Morning Summit is always the perfect way to start your day...arguably best breakfast place in town!“
