Lenny’s Home Plate

Best hoagie in the city. They are generous with the meats and cheese which are always fresh.
the bread is amazing! great service as well.

Great sandwich but very hit or miss. Sometimes they use lesser quality bread (unseeded roll) probably when they run low. Cajun mayo has to have drugs in it but going here is like watching Brad lidge pitch in the 2009 post season; either a strike out or a home run.

This is my go-​to spot for a great hoagie. After a few visits eating the soprano, I tried the crack tots too. I realized that I had been missing out. Other items look really good too, but I just can’t get away from the soprano and crack tots.

The sandwiches are good. Mine was a bit soggy but with the amount of sauce on it it was to be expected. The only thing that I can say really bothered me was the store is filthy. The floors need to be scrubbed and there is food sauces in the beverage fridge. There’s a random fax machine next to the fountain soda machine. The employees don’t wear hair nets or hats and practice bare hand contact on ready to eat food. It they would clean up I would consider coming back.

This is our go-​to spot for hoagies. I’ve tried some other places and just ended up disappointed. My favorites are the Cajun turkey and Rocco supreme — it has a little spicy kick and is delicious!

Came here for a breakfast sandwich and was not disappointed. It came on a long roll and was large and filling. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese. The bacon was chopped and distributed throughout the sandwich evenly and the cheese was the perfect amount. It is really rare to write a review on a breakfast sandwich but this one was exceptional. I will be back to try the hoagies for sure.

Would be a super-​duper, off-​the-​chain, 5-​star spot if the customer service was a little more welcoming/​not so lackadaisical. Still, didn’t stop me from eating there twice in a three-​day visit to the area.
BOMB hoagies! HUGE! Minor League will do ya, and Major League would be PERFECT for a party or tailgating. Not the quickest turn around… but you can call ahead and pick up. Tried Home Plate Special (italian roast beef, pepper jack cheese with cajun mayo), St. Lucky (Sharp Provolone, chicken cutlet, spinach, tomato, & locarelii), Crack Tots (MUST HAVE!!!), and the Scrap-​adelphia.
Damned fine food. Super reasonable prices for the quality and quantity. Will order EVERY time I’m back in the area!

One of the best hoagie places in Philly. The enormity of choices reminds me of the old, defunct Wagon Wheel of the 1600 block of Sansom Street in the ‘80s. Lenny’s combinations are marvelous
The survey asked about alcohol, but there was no choice to accurately describe Lenny’s policy. They do not serve alcohol, but are fine with BYO. There is a Foodery across the street with OK, but uninspired food, but an amazing beer selection. Order your food at Lenny’s. Pick up a beer at the Foodery and bring it back to Lenny’s and your food will be ready.

If you want a big selection of hoagies and good ones… you can’t go wrong by coming to Lenny’s. the meat, ingredients and rolls are very good… Definetly I would say this place is in the top 10 hoagie places around.

I love Lennie’s Home Plate, because Lennie is a true sandwich artist. The variety of hoagies, cheese steaks and burgers are staggering.
Lennie extended me the honor of having a great sandwich named after me.
It’s called «The Big Bruce». It consists of a pretty decent Italian hoagie roll with gourmet honey mustard, oven roasted turkey, smoked gouda cheese, romaine lettuce, red onions, sun dried tomatoes and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar.
The sandwich is my own concoction with Lennie’s approval.
I have enjoyed this sandwich for many years.
Just before Thanksgiving, Lennie added the sandwich to his menu. I would like to thank Lennie for giving me such an honor.
Since then I stopped by to try one of his fat & juicy burgers called The Russian Burger. Like I said before it was a fat & juicy burger with Havarti cheese, fried pickles and a delicious sauce on a toasted brioche bun. The sandwich was accompanied by a perfect order of sweet potato fries with a absolutely delicious sweet cinnamon flavored sauce.
Both were delicious and filling. Lennie, you did it again! So don’t miss the opportunity to try out a fellow Unilocalers’ sandwich here at Lennie’s, I am thoroughly convinced that you will thoroughly enjoy my sandwich!

These are some of the best sandwiches in Manayunk/​Roxborough. Lenny’s is a family atmosphere and seems to also be run by a family, at least that’s how they treat you. There are so many choices, and they are hung everywhere. They could organize their sandwiches better all in one place! The food is excellent though and the snitch will leave you stuffed. Lenny’s is Philly hometown goodness.

Just as great as everyone says ! The Cajun turkey sandwich is amazing ! No frills spot. You can eat in or take out. It IS cash only so plan ahead for that. I called ahead and they had my order ready very quickly ! The bread makes it ! If you want a real hoagie this is the spot in this area !

I had one of their tuna subs… I forget the exact name. Tuna, provolone, roasted peppers, etc. I did not like the tuna at all. Very dark, seemed to be the kind that comes in oil… I don’t know, it just didn’t look or taste good. Not a fan of the sesame sub roll it came on. Small, and overpriced.
Honestly, I just can’t find anything as good as what I’ve used to living back in North Jersey.
Super disappointing.

Absolute heaven!!!
This has to be one of the best hoagie shops I’ve been to and I’ve live in a few different parts of the country.
Every offering is made with care, the bread is always fresh and the meat combinations they offer are out of this world. I literally start salivating thinking about it and like a zombie I find myself walking there to get one!
…
Ok back to review with sandwich in other hand. :)
My personal favorite is the «Soprano» which includes genoa salami, capicola, cotigene, prosciutto, mortadella, soppressata, grated locatelli & provolone cheese. Now that’s a hoagie!!!
They have several other offerings some simple like an Italiano which is your standard Italian sub, to much more complex sandwiches. They even have a «kick up a notch» menu with several selections for those who like a spicy hoagie!
If you are ever in the Roxborough area, this is a must stop! You will not be disappointed.
Warning: These hoagies can be addictive and may lead to zombie like walks where you suddenly find yourself with a hoagie in your hand, and may lead to need a new wardrobe due to increases in waist size.

I never thought it would be so good! I love this place but not sure if i can carry the weight to be a regular. Winter is fast approaching & I need to get into some new pants soon!
OMG I went there for the first time the other day, My good friend and fellow Unilocaler Bruce B was having his hoagie debut «The Big Bruce».
I was totally blown away, from the name I though it would be a mega sandwich. but it was such a refreshing delight. A Very happy kind of sandwich, it had spinach and sun dried tomatoes and no mayo at all. Unbelievable a sandwich with no mayonnaise you have to try it yourself and let me know what you think. I dont want to give out all the secrets of the sandwich just yet.
I have never in all my days of Philadelphia hoagie Eating tasted a more well balance sandwich. I ate one & had an order to go. They have them foot long rolls and the bread there is amazing, it would make any sandwich taste phenomenal!
Next time I will try the sandwich called Crack I heard you always come back for it! I hope I can break my addiction to Lennies Soon ‚
but I will be getting The Big Bruce super sized for my sister’s baby shower coming up, so it will be a hard habit to break but i will have a Delicious time trying!

I always really enjoy the hoagies from Lennys. I usually get the home plate which is a spicy roast beef on a seeded roll. Definitely one of the best sandwich shops in the area.

I genuinely feel bad for this place, hometown spot and all… But it seems like it might be the end of the road. I’ve been giving them chance after chance for about 5 years now and they never fail to serve up a sad sandwich. The bread is always days old and sometimes downright stale, the meat product isn’t bad but they give you a measly two slices. I just had a sandwich from there and it had exactly 3 thin rings of onion and lettuce that was mainly ribbing.

Love this place! No other sandwich can compete. I’ve tried veggie sandwiches elsewhere and have just wound up disappointed. So the veggie eggplant is totally recommended. We also love the Cajun turkey. The god father part 3 with is also amazing.
Easiest is when you call in. It will be ready to pick up upon arrival. Keep in mind cash only. There is a bank right down the street.

If you’re looking for quality freshly hand made sandwiches and hoagies, this is the place. They have an assortment of Italian style hoagies choices with some other hot sandwich varieties.
Ended up going with the Damaggio. It came on a Freshly baked long roll which I see delivered daily every morning. Had quality prosciutto and dry cured cap with sharp prov. Not an overly filling jam packed sandwich but when you are dealing with such expensive cured meats it’s more quality over quantity. Also came dress with Romain (as opposed to the usual iceberg places have) thick tomato slices and thinly sliced red onion. A good balance but could have used a little more meat filling. Also, went with the Cajun fries. Spicer than our normal place for Cajun fries and the Cajun mayo was real good. They seem to have it spread on different sandwiches which I highly recommend. Wish the fries could have been a little crispier. In the future I might check out a sandwhich called the crack as they had t shirts there for it. You have to go old school and call the place because they aren’t on grub hub.

Outstanding, friendly, fast service!
Lenny’s home plate is a staple in the Roxborough community with huge hoagies, that are appropriately priced.
These hoagies are delicious and Lenny’s has a local vibe to it. So popular that they run out of rolls early in the day some day’s. They close early so make sure you pick up your food before sundown.
High quality!
