Really wanted to try a mom & pop sandwich shop here in Monroe but they were closed during their normal business hours on a Wednesday and said they were only open to the public Tuesdays:( might want to change your business hours online!

Place is so gross. So over price. My 5 year old can make a better sandwich. Also can soup tastes better. So sad.

Every time I go they are closed when their hours say that they’re open. I haven’t been able to try their food and I’ve gone 3 or 4 times now.

I'm in the search of the best Reuben. So far Joy's has an edge other places I've eaten at since visiting Monroe. The meat thickness was good, the sauerkraut has good placement being in the middle and I love it when the sauce is on the side so you can add as little or as much as you want. All in all I would say they have the best so far.

A small place to go get lunch mostly soups and sandwiches! Very good ? food.
Stopped in for a soup left with a sandwich soup combo- absolutely delicious! Bread and turkey were so fresh as well as the crisp veggies on it. The soup was wonderful too! The packaging for carry out went an extra step of placing a cardboard piece under the soup container- top notch no spills .

Nice People. They were out of the corned beef and recommended a pastie. I wish I hadn’t tried one. Unfortunately, I can’t say anything positive about the pastie I had. I hear their sandwiches are fine but they should stop selling pasties immediately. The crust was burnt, the flavor was overbearing, with hints of burnt rudabayga, and the price was outrageous for the small portion. Mine wasn’t dry. I didn’t try the gravy at all. The real issue with pasties is the dish is not well known and has the reputation (not necessarily deserved) of being hillbilly food. This means only die-hard pastie lovers are going to care. The story they told me about coal miners packing these for lunch does not increase the dish’s appeal, and probably lessens what little appeal pasties may have had. A place like Joy’s can’t survive selling (and educating people about) pasties. A million restaurants have tried and failed. Do you see any places famous for their pasties? Nope. If the kids aren’t telling their friends about it, it’s ancient history. Every once in a while a restaurant owner needs a wake up call, in order to evolve and stay afloat. I offer this honest review with only the best of intentions, because locally owned places are important. Please get rid of the styrofoam take-out containers and get local meats. I made my own version of pasties at home once, with a twist. They came out perfect because I made them smaller, vegetarian, used curry, and called them samosas…

Fantastic and friendly service. First time here and wasn't sure what to get. They gave me some time and made suggestions. Went with the toasted Italian sub and potato, ham, and corn soup. Both were excellent. Soup was very hearty and would be very nice in the colder months. The sub was exactly what I was looking for. Toasted just right, great flavor, and the banana peppers put it over the top. Must go back.

The customer service here is better than some 5* restaurants I have been to. My party was warmly greeted when we all entered. Our orders were taken quickly and the food came out fast. The staff was very thoughtful of my daughter and brought her out a couple small items on the house. We all loved our Italian sub. This is a humble establishment on the side of the road with a big heart. Please make sure to tip the staff well. If I am in the area again I will bring in all my friends.
