| - Having frequented nearly every sandwich chain in the country this was our first stop at a Penn Station. Prior to this, honestly, I'd never heard of one. The service was excellent. Management has done a great job training employees to be well mannered, friendly and helpful. As for the sandwiches they are a splitting image of Quiznos. If you've ever been to one of those (also a chain) you'll find almost the same menu here. This isn't a new concept or a better one with a twist, unfortunately. Possibly the biggest difference is they hand cut fries here and have just ok fresh squeezed lemonade.
Why come to Penn Station over the other sandwich chains? There's a Panera across the street which has a better selection of cold cut type sandwiches and a Jimmy Johns there, too. Penn Station blows away spots like Jimmy Johns and Subway, no one will argue that. It's a tad below Jersey Mikes, on the other hand.
We left with a few things in mind: fair price, great service, slightly above average sandwich and a good place to come if you need to get in and out quickly. There's nothing that wowed us to return right away. It's a standard model we've seen in the sandwich world for a decade or more. The only difference is they might have more hot subs here. Meanwhile, you shouldn't be able to find anything to complain about, which isn't the case at Jimmy Johns and Subway where quality falls far short.
