Hands down the best sandwich place where you don’t need a lot of condiments for the the sandwich to be good. I always go for the Turkey but the pastrami is my favorite. Fresh baked bread that doesn’t upset my stomach nor is it stale or hard. This place never fails me and I’ve been coming here for 6 years now. Went by today and always taste the same.

Just awesome! Fantastic, huge sandwiches piled high with freshly sliced meat. Why go to a nasty Subway when you can come here and get a sub that is 10x better in quality?! Plus, you’re supporting local business! We ordered the Monday Sliced Roast Pork special and the Polish Kielbasa. Very, very tasty! Forgot to take photos…we just ate our subs too quickly! Easy parking, and basic indoor or outdoor dining. There is even a frequent sandwich card.

I totally forgot to take pics of the sandwiches but mark my words when I say they are delicious and stuffed with goodness. We use to order from Gene’s all the time when I worked in Arcadia so it had been awhile since I had a sandwich from there but oh my they are still as delicious as they were back then. Keep up the great work!!

Delicious and huge sandwiches. Good fries, but eat them when they’re hot! Really great service and charming folks who work here. They treat you well and give off the impression that they really care about making a great sandwich for you. Feels like I’m back on the east coast getting a proper sub sandwich. Delicious lunch. Thanks Gene’s!

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.

The sandwiches are fresh and delicious! I ordered online and scheduled a pick up time and they were ready for me when I arrived. Everyone behind the counter was so sweet! The Gene’s special is SO good!

After placing my first online order at Gene’s I can say it was a great experience. I only waited a few minutes to pick up my sandwiches & fries. Fries were great, but the sandwiches were definitely the star of the show. My large turkey breast grinder with extra mayo & cheese was a hefty, tasty meal. Any my wife’s special ended up being enough for two meals. We’ll be back!

The 2 gentlemen that closed today were very accommodating. They put all my wet ingredients separately since I wouldn’t be home for a cpl of hours. Making our sandwiches even more fresh. I appreciate the service!
