Cuisine:   Subs, subs and more subs!! Fresh-cut fries, cheese bread, wraps and salads, chips and cookies, and kids meals. They also serve fresh-squeezed lemonade made daily, Pepsi products and sweet tea.

 Atmosphere:   All of the food is made in front of the customer so that they can see their meal being prepared. The walls are adorned with interesting artwork and of course some posters depicting their favorite subs. A television is also available to entertain you while you eat. There is ample seating in these small but quaint restaurants.

Service:   The service is what you come to expect from a fast-food restaurant. You receive a friendly greeting when you walk in and an upbeat “thank you” when you leave. After giving your order, you can stay and watch your meal being prepared or have seat and they will gladly deliver your meal to your table upon completion.


Review:   I have had the pleasure of eating at Penn Station on several occasions and my meal has always been excellent. The restaurant is clean (even the restroom) and the staff is welcoming. A visit here is not complete without trying and thoroughly enjoying the Fresh-cut French Fries! They are sliced daily and cooked to that perfect crispness that is neither greasy nor too soft, and they have that perfect texture and flavor. A MUST HAVE!! They basically have five “categories” of subs. “Classics” include Philadelphia Cheesesteak, Club and the Rueben. “Chicken” has the tasty Chicken Teriyaki, Chicken Parmesan, and Chicken Cordon Bleu. The “Italian” subs feature Pizza, Italian and Sausage subs. They also have some “Lighter Options” like Grilled Artichoke, Chicken or Tuna Salad, and Grilled Vegetarian. But, if none of these sounds like what you want, you can choose to “Create Your Own” dagwood sub where you can choose your own meats, cheeses, toppings, and condiments. I personally enjoyed the Philadelphia Cheesesteak loaded with everything they suggest. The steak and veggies are sauted together on the grill and then covered with provolone cheese which is then baked to a golden brown. This sub is absolutely fantastic as the steak, cheeses and the optional pizza sauce flavors all combine happily in your mouth. Another favorite is the Chicken Salad which is served with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, and pickles. The chicken is kind of chunky and has great flavor when mixed with all of the toppings. This sub is definitely one to try if you are a fan of chicken salad (like me), and are looking for a lighter choice on the menu. A lighter choice that still leaves you satisfied! I am looking forward to trying them ALL!!
