“I LOVE the food at Jersey Mike's. But I am OVER being chastised by the employees. Apparently, if you don't order "Mike's Way" correctly, you are to be punished! I was asked how I wanted my sub I said "almost Mike's way" and told them what I wanted. I was then CORRECTED that I should have said: "Mikes way without spices, then add peppers". They even did this to my boyfriend once. Really!? Stop with the games! How about the CUSTOMER'S way?“

“I try to go every Saturday morning, I am a regular there and the server at this location she is always kind prepares my steak sandwich just the way I like it and is extremely helpful. Both my wife and I go there not just for the food but for the excellent service she provides if it were not for her we honestly wouldn't go there.“

“I found Monte’s in Alhambra just poking around for something to eat one day. I live pretty close and had no idea it was there. Walked in, looked at the menu, and immediately knew this was my kind of place. Alexis runs the show here, and he and the rest of the crew are great, friendly, fast, and you can tell they actually care about the food. Everything on the menu looks solid, but I went with the first sandwich on the hot list the Legendary Chopped Cheese. It did not disappoint. Great flavor, perfect portion, and for about thirteen bucks, it’s a very fair price. The sandwich-to-price ratio is a strong 8½ out of 10 for me. The inside of the sandwich was fantastic, melty, flavorful, just messy enough to be satisfying. The bread was soft, which isn’t a bad thing, but personally, I would’ve liked it a touch crunchier to give it more texture. Still, the bread did its job and held everything together just fine.
Parking’s super easy. It’s in a little strip mall with a ramen spot and a few other restaurants. You can pop right in and out. I think it’s off the Fremont exit on the freeway. The location couldn’t be better for a quick, easy meal. Everything about this place feels right: great food, solid pricing, easy parking, and good people running it. Every sandwich I saw go by looked worth ordering, and I’ve already got my eye on the chicken and waffles, which seems to be one of their signature dishes. Monte’s is one of those hidden gems that feels like it should already be packed all the time. I’ll definitely be back, probably more than once to work my way down that menu.“
