Jolly Jug

Cool old school joint with an attached bar next door. Hostess was great, fun personality and the food was solid. Had basic breakfast, eggs bacon, hash browns. Everything was good, eggs were cooked correctly to medium, bacon was actually very tasty. Also had the chorizo & egg, once again cooked just right and tasted like I made it myself. The salsa was notable tasty as well, fresh, delicious, with a touch of jalapeno spice. I expect to come back when in the area.

Great food, great service, fair prices. Everyone in our group thoroughly enjoyed what they ordered. Definitely looking forward to stopping in again! Recommend the club sandwich, beef dip and pastrami! This place is overflowing with vintage charm and character. If you finish your meal, you get candy!

Stopped by the Jolly Jug in El Monte for a quick breakfast. For years, I’ve passed by this place driving in El Monte. They have a classic sign, the ones you don’t really see anymore. The restaurant has a few booths and original decor, the employees are super friendly. My french toast and coffee were good. They have a bar area in the back. It’s like stepping back in time coming here. I enjoyed my visit to the Jolly Jug.

I’m sad to leave this place a 1-star review, but my recent visit was incredibly disappointing. They charge an extra $2 to pay with a card, whether it’s debit or credit, which feels unreasonable. The beer is overpriced, and the quality of the food has gone downhill. The beef dip, which used to be a favorite of mine, is now dry, likely due to cheaper ingredients. Simon—my favorite bartender is friendly, it’s not enough to compensate for the poor experience. I’ll be taking my business next door to El Marisquero, where the food is better, cheaper, and the beer is reasonably priced. Not to mention, their server Nancy provides fantastic service and is incredibly kind. Hope this feedback reaches Alissa. ✌️Margaret. From Leon

On any given weekend, we drive 30 minutes to Jolly Jug for one of the best beef sandwiches in the southland! Their house coleslaw is amazing. Margaret is the best and keeps her beautiful piece of SGV history just the way it should be.

I love this lil mom n pop restaurant. The foods good, and the restaurant is super clean and neat. It has a very cool vintage vibe. The only downfall is the service is extremely slow but the owner has a great personality and therefore, its downfall is almost forgiving. I recommend it if you aren't in a rush. On the plus side, it's got a cool little bar with a jukebox n all!
