Lenny’s Sub Shop

I stopped by here yesterday. I had the mile high turkey sandwich. The sandwich was FANTASTIC! The bread was so soft and FRESH! The vegetables tasted fresh and not like they came out of a bag. Everyone was really nice and friendly! I will definitely be back again. I was truly impressed!

I was not impressed. I used to walk pass the shop every day and there’s this big sign boasting about Philly cheese-​steaks. I vowed to one day try them and last week, I did. That sandwich cost me like $ 8! Q: Do you know how much food I expect to get for $ 8? A: Enough to hobble back to work in need of a restroom break. TMI? The sandwich LOOKED great and by great I mean it was dripping grease everywhere. (bonus!) It just wasn’t all that. It was good but it wasn’t all that and there’s a huge neon sign in the window boasting about this $ 8 sandwich! For $ 5, I might buy it again. At $ 8, they won’t see me again except through the window eating something that cost $ 5.

Yay, Lenny’s!
So the bf and I are moving into a high rise VERY close to here in a couple of weeks, so I knew I’d be frequenting this place. I’d heard good things, and so I was excited to try it out and become BFFs with my new sandwich shop.
I got the usual as per me… Turkey on wheat and whatever cheese is came with (95% sure it’s Provolone) and hot pepper mix. So a few things:
The bread is good, but they do cut their sandwiches completely in half though (a la P.D. Johnson’s) so the filling has a tendency to fall out at times.
Turkey seemed pretty high quality, although not quite on the level of the Boar’s Head I’m addicted to. Yeah, I’m a deli meat snob. Sorry bout your luck. DID love that they sliced it fresh though.
I’d like to have a Hot Pepper Mix intravenous delivery system.
No baked chips. Poop.
All in all I really enjoyed my sandwich, the staff was super nice and they have loyalty cards… which I will be using. So why only 3 stars? Welp, when comparing Turkey & Provolone sandwiches, they don’t beat Jersey’s Mike’s. So alas, 3 stars for you — for now. Believe me Lenny, I’ll be back. And I’ll be sampling everything on your menu at one point or another,
