Seriously tasty food, i have zero complaints about the subs. If i was a richer man I would dominate their fries and Philly steak subs on the regular. However, I am more run of the mill middle class post college poor kid and this is where Penn Station suffers.
The price of these tasty treats are simply to much compared to other sub shops in the area. This is truly the only thing holding me back. And fears on onset death if I eat another 3 orders of their mind melting fries.
I was just in Indy this past week....and I want to cry a bit now that I am back in Phoenix....I miss Penn Station. Â I love...and I mean LOVE Cheesesteaks...and while I'm usally a nazi about it having cheese whiz like the original did....I'm not mad at Penn Station because it is so freaking amazing.
The bread they use must be the secret because it puts together the sub like no other. The meat is fresh, the fries are fresh and all the topings are fresh.....even their lemonade is made there on the spot.
2 huge thumbs up to Penn Station. Â If you have a penn station next to you....I envy you, because here in Phoenix we are deprived.
Heard good things about Penn Station so I was looking forward to trying it out. Overall, it was a decent sub sandwich. Nothing particularly special, but it wasn't bad either. I can't say that i'll be back, but a combination of hunger and unwillingness to spend a lot may bring me wandering in some day again.
This location in particular had a great atmosphere with very friendly employees. I'd say that the atmosphere made the experience more enjoyable than the food itself.
Oh, and skip the lemonade. It was pretty terrible.
I have eaten at several Penn Stations, and the are A-OK (I'm sorry, I will never tire of copying the phrase from the star rating). Could maybe have 4 stars.The staff at this location were friendly, and it is smallish, but when we went there was plenty of free space. Clean, quick. All good things.
As for the food...the food is not bad, certainly worth the price you pay. This time I ordered the chicken Parmesan. Good hot sandwich; though of course when you get it it is not overstuffed with chicken as the pictures advertises. Not surprising, just don't overexcite yourself :) Fries have a good flavor, but many of ours were a bit on the small side. There were plenty of them, just so many that were 1 inch in length. Size doesn't matter when it comes to taste, but it does make it easier for me to dip in ketchup! Lastly, a cookie! This is a pretty hefty cookie, and it was nice and soft with large chocolate chunks. Near the end of eating it though, you can start to taste how bad it is for you, and wish the chocolate were dark instead of milk so it wasn't quite as sweet.Satisfying, (overly) filling meal.
Restaurant: clean. Employees: friendly. Food: tasty. I'll eat here again.
Food was fresh, few vegetarian options are nice, and the employees acted like I made their day simply by showing up. Caught me off guard, as I was nearly in hermit mode and didn't feel like leaving the house, let alone being greeted by massive, un-ironic smiles at what's basically a fast food joint. Nice surprise.
I'm not a huge fan of the fries - they're plain jane - but they, and my grilled artichoke sandwich, were hot & fresh.
