I had to stop by Lyn's for breakfast. I ordered BLT sandwich on a long roll with a Cranberry juice. The service was great as usual. It took a few minutes to get my order. The breakfast sandwich was really good. I'll try something new the next time I'm in town. read more

Great mom and pop food truck with warm breakfast sandwiches! Remember it's cash only.

The food is fresh, fresh, fresh!! I only eat their chicken breast and it's cooked while I wait! They are the loveliest couple.

Lyn's is a Solid breakfast & lunch spot near CHOP & PENN--cheap, clean, and made-to-order. Egg, sausage & cheese hit the spot, cheesesteak special slapped. Great service and Friendly vibes too. read more

This place is very close to being excellent. Creative menu, fresh ingredients, and cozy interior. My steak was slightly overdone, but the flavor was superb. Staff was knowledgeable. Not quite a perfect five, but a very strong four-star rating. Highly recommend for a quality meal. read more

Nice hidden gem of a food truck. We stopped here for breakfast and got sausage, egg and cheese on a bagel. They also had regular bagels, muffins, and different sandwiches. Not only did the sandwich taste good, but the price was super affordable and the best I've seen around coming in at about $4 each. read more

Lyn's never disappoints. Every time I come to Philly, I make it a mission to go to her truck. She's the most soft spoken women ever and her right hand man, her husband, works insanely efficient. I can't believe my bagel was only $5 despite being loaded with sausages,egg, cheese, and cream cheese. What a steal. One of the best bagels I've had recently!! I love you cô an chú, best of luck. read more

It was a cool place. I guess. the service was NOT it. the employee yelled at me. the food was... something! Dandy's world would disapprove. read more

I decided to give lyns a try after hearing all the good reviews about it. I got the spinach, egg and sausage on a long roll. The amount I got was definitely worth the value I paid for (was able to split between me and my friend). The only issue is to prepare for the long wait in the morning as it took me about 15-20 minutes to get my food after ordering. This is because there is always a lot of people lined up to get lyns. read more

Whenever I'm in the area, I make it a point to visit Lyn's. These are the best breakfast sandwiches I've had in my life. Not sure if this something to be proud of but I would consider myself a connoisseur of breakfast sandwiches far and wide. I like their Western omelette on a hoagie on the standard menu but I don't think you can go wrong here. Try their specials if they fit within your diet though (some have meat if you're a vegetarian). I had a breakfast sandwich special on a hoagie with hot honey and eggs prepared with coriander and a mix of other herbs that has set my standard for breakfast sandwiches. Ah, Lyn's. That sandwich shall not be forgotten. Seriously though, just make your way here when you're in Philly somehow. It's offerings like this that make Philly the best culinary scene in terms of density in the US right now. read more

My previous opinion still stands: Lyn's is the best food truck on Penn's campus She recommended I try out her bfast sandwiches. Lyn made me a egg, cheese, sausage on an everything bagel. It was only $3.50!! And a big size for the price too!!! The bagel was pressed on the grill but to my surprise was very soft and warm. read more

Seeing pictures of Lyn's on peoples' Instagrams is probably the biggest reason I came to Lyn's. An apparent staple of the Penn community, I walked by on an early Wednesday morning where there was perfectly no line for me to try the famous food truck and try to satisfy my stomach. The owners of the food truck were quick to greet and eagerly ready to take my order. With the help of a friend's expertise, I got a long roll sandwich with spinach + eggs, sausage, and cheese cut in half. With nothing but food on my mind at 8:30 am, I quickly scurried home to try it. By far, this is one of the most complete breakfast meals you could want on the go. One bite and I was filled with all the feelings American breakfast foods should provide - comfort, willingness, and warmth. Succeeding at all three, I even added some sriracha to really wake me up from the food coma I was about to arrive in. If the line is short, GET IT. If it's long and you got nothing to do, GET IT. I promise you, better than 90% of the brunch areas in University City are within walking distance between 34th and 40th street. There's a reason why this is a cult favorite, so just trust what you've heard about the place and go ahead and take a bite here! read more

Theres a good reason why lyns is so popular! Absolutely lovely couple and the sandwiches are perf for a quick lunch. Id only been once before pre pandemic but its just as good as i remember.

Lyn's - Egg and cheese w spinach on bagel - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Food truck outside of Penn. Quick and tasty breakfast sandwiches. I tried their egg, bacon and cheese and really enjoyed their egg and cheese portion. They are quick and friendly. Would eat there again! read more

This place is conveniently located and absolutely delicious! It's a regular must-hit for me anytime I'm in town. And Lyn is such a nice and friendly person - be nice to her and she'll be GREAT to you :) read more

I thought this place was excellent. It's a food cart, so no permanent establishment. I believe it's cash only but most things on the menu are under $10 and the price listed is the final price, no tax on top. The service was great - friendly, polite, and a remarkable memory for who ordered what. Iif you go during a busy time, you may have to wait 5-10 minutes. But generally very quick. For $5, the breakfast sandwich I had - with bacon, egg, and cheese, was delicious! read more

Came here once 4 years ago when my fiancée was still a student at Penn and have been dying to come back. The same couple still runs the truck and the breakfast sandwiches are still incredible. $5 for a big , melty sausage, egg and cheese on a long roll cannot be beat. Even when it's 95 degrees out, they take your order with a smile. Great place to grab a bite, will definitely be returning to try their lunch sandwiches at some point. read more

Lyn's - Sausage/spinach, egg and cheese - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Lyn's is one of my favorite food trucks on Penn's campus. The owners are really friendly and work as efficiently as possible. The only downside though is the line can get long during breakfast and lunch rush hours, but the owners are really fast and are constantly pumping out orders. Even when the line is super long, Lyn never fails to give me a smile and ask how I'm doing. It's super affordable and you can get a large amount of food for less than $5. The food is great, fresh, and tasty too. Note that the food truck is cash only and it's only open on weekdays from 7am-3pm. I would highly recommend! read more

Lyn's - Menu - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I really respect places that keep it simple, but do what they do really well. Lyn's is one of those places. They serve up simple but well-made breakfast sandwiches in a fast and friendly manner. After only one visit, they knew my order. Then I didn't return for a few weeks and they still knew my order on my third visit! Now that is some impressive customer service! My go-to order is an spinach, cheese, and egg white sandwich on rye toast. The egg white is always cooked perfectly, there is plenty of spinach and the cheese is all gooey and creamy. A little hot sauce and black pepper I get added at the end, gives it that kick. All this for $3! It makes a good breakfast, or a nice light lunch. The only other sandwich I have tried is the chicken special with peppers, mushrooms, and onions that comes on a long roll. It was okay, but I wasn't a huge fan of the roll it was on. If you are looking for a food truck for breakfast or lunch in University City and want something dependable, affordable, and tasty, Lyn's is your spot! The line may look long, but don't let that deter you as it usually moves quite quickly. read more

Lyn's - Spinach, egg white, and cheese on rye toast. - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Lyn's is a great spot for a quick bite to eat. Her prices are amazing for the amount of food you get. So far I've tried spinach egg and cheese on a long roll and that was only three dollars. Today I tried eggplant spinach Parm pita and that was only $3.50. Both sandwiches were filled and delicious. I'm happy to have Lyn's now, because I know the food is good and the prices are reasonable. Lunch trucks are my go-to when I am not sure what I want to eat. Often I need a quick breakfast or a quick lunch and Lyn's food truck offers both options.They are quick and cost efficient. Also, she is sweet as can be. I'm so happy to give them my business!! read more

Lyn's - Eggplant spinach parm pita - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Nicest lady in the world, makes me smile every time I see her :D She knows my order cold!! Egg and cheese w Spinach $4.50, so affordable and delicious, I could eat this everyday and not get tired!! read more

Arguably the best food truck at Penn (and just outside my dorm!!) I usually can't finish a whole bagel but I could definitely inhale this in 5 minutes. The cheesy egg with the slight crunch from the spinach and the salty bacon makes for the perfect hungry-college-student-sandwich. And at $5, this is possibly the cheapest and most delicious thing you can get at Penn. The owners of the food truck are also the nicest people and greet literally every customer with a smile read more

Lyn's - Everything Bagel with Egg, Cheese, Bacon, and Spinach - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

This is probably the food truck I visit the most, about once or twice a week. With low prices, fast (and kind) service, and an extensive menu, it's the perfect place for a student to stop by for lunch. My favorite item is the eggplant spinach parmesan; it's a pretty unique item compared to other sandwich trucks, a super-filling meal for just $3.50 on a pita or short roll, and I can tell myself it's vegetarian and thus healthy even though it's probably not. Their breakfast sandwiches are also a popular choice, allowing for lots of customization, but I stick to a simple egg, spinach, and cheese on a plain bagel. They grill the bagel which is an amazing touch! I also just tried the cheesesteak for the first time, and at only $5, it's a great deal compared to a sit-down place and also just as good. Some tips: Lyn's opens pretty early so it's a perfect spot for an early breakfast when the other trucks are closed, but it also closes early at 3pm so get there before then! Also, if you order something that ends in $0.50 and don't want to deal with change, just get a bag of chips for $0.50 to round it up. read more

Service is through and quick. The prices are fair the selection simple allowing for a consistent good quality. I had their Italian sausage long roll and it was a good filling lunch for a fair price. read more

Price to quality connection is EXCELLENT. I had breakfast here a few times and it was excellent and only $3. Quick service and the bagels are great. They kind of pan fry the bagel so it gets this nice crisp on the outside. I had the everything bagel with egg whites, cheese and spinach. It was great---I would100% come back again and again. Service was friendly . read more

The best breakfast sandwich ever!! Went there after a doctor's appointment and was so impressed with Lyn's pleasant and friendly demeanor. She greeted me with a smile and made a killer bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on a fresh bagel. She was polite to ask before adding salt and pepper. The price was unbelievable -$3.50 I think. I would honestly have paid $8.50. It was that good, and sizeable. While waiting I saw customers talking to her in a very friendly manner and could tell they were happy regulars. I'll definitely be back for the great food and service. Just note that it's cash only. I wish I'd known because I'd have gotten a second sandwich for my husband (but eaten half of it on the way home)! read more

I don't know how she remembered everyone's order. Lady is very nice and the food is really good. Would highly recommend

Lyns is a very nice food cart on UPenns campus. If you frequent here, they will remember you and your usual order quite quickly. That's a plus and good customer service. They are usually crowded so expect a little wait but it's never too long. Lots of options here and I don't think you will be disappointed. read more

I love Lyn's! They do all kinds of sandwiches -- it's simple, standard stuff you see at a food cart, but they just do everything really well. Tasty and satisfying. Real food. Actual grilled chicken (not some kind of chicken-like meat composite) -- great in a pita with honey mustard. Eggplant Spinach parm is great. Sausage sandwich with fried peppers, onions. Egg white omelette for a breakfast sandwich. It's all good. Fast friendly service. They're very efficient, so it's reasonably fast even with a long line. read more

Again a 5. Came here again this morning and this time got the same wheat sandwich with egg, spinach, and cheese and then also tried the eggplant Parmesan pita bread sandwich (last time we got the long roll version). The pita version blew me away. Definitely would recommend the pita over the long roll. Cheaper, and even more delicious. What I'm most excited to share with this updated review is that Lyn's has consistency down so right. Ordering the same sandwich twice means you get the same quality each time. Can't wait to keep coming back to Lyn's! read more

Working very close by, Lyn's has become a staple lunch-time item during sunny summer days. Lyn and her husband - who usually works the grill - are so sweet and treat every customer with the utmost respect. Not to mention, Lyn has a crazy memory, she'll remember your face and order among a slough of other customers even if you've only been to the cart a few times! In terms of the food, its as good as it gets - my go to has been the chicken cheesesteak special which comes with mushrooms, lettuce, tomato, cheese, onions all for only $5.75! Sometimes I also add a fried egg to the sandwich for $0.25 extra. The portions are also huge. As a relatively active guy I feel super satiated from a single sandwich; some of my friends order the sandwiches here and have enough for two meals. Overall, Lyn's is everything you want to see in a small business. Great customer service, friendly smiles all the time, and large portions all for a cheap price! Yes please. Go buy lunch from this place. Would highly strongly recommend! read more

I've listened to glowing reviews from friends (and even walked past this food truck on multiple occasions) for the past four years. I literally only tried this place for the first time YESTERDAY. But, you know what they say, better late than never. Lyn's is CRAZY GOOD. I ordered the egg, cheese and spinach on an everything bagel. And, let me tell you...this is the kind of sandwich that will make you smile after taking the first bite. This bagel was filling, came out quickly, and was only $3. On top of that, Lyn was super friendly. She served every customer with a smile. It was also pretty remarkable to see her recognize regulars and remember their orders. Basically, you can expect delicious food and exceptional service for a super low price. read more

WORTH ALL THE HYPE AND MORE. This food truck has truly some of the tastiest breakfast and lunch in University City AND hands-down the best bang for your buck. My absolute favorite meal on the menu is the eggplant spinach parm sandwich. To make it vegetarian, Lyn will kindly replace the meatball sauce with ranch and sriracha. This sandwich is bursting with flavor, so filling, and only $3.50. Lyn and her husband are INCREDIBLY efficient and serve up your food super quickly despite the high amount of traffic this food truck constantly gets. Cash only. Worth every cent. read more

Eggplant spinach parm pita is delicious, but I give the truck 4 stars because i just don't think it's that "OMG WOW!!" Eggplant is great and tasty, the pita is warm, soft, and fresh, and the tomato sauce is perfect. However, the portion is kinda small, and my friend and i were still hungry afterwards, so we decided to split an egg and cheese sandwich from another food truck lol. The lady server is so sweet and friendly. UPDATE: tried the bacon, egg, and cheese. It was good, but it tasted the same as any other food trucks... There's a truck close to Lyn's, simply named "Breakfast & Lunch," and it has the same egg & cheese foods but at a cheaper price, so i like that better. read more

run by the KINDEST couple. the first time i came here i didn't know it was cash only, so they gave me my sandwich for free and told me to pay them back next time. i always get the italian sausage sandwich with the works -- only $5! the perfect lunch when i'm at school read more

I travel often and always stop by here every time I'm in Philly and I'm never disappointed. A must stop food truck with great food and service! They make the best Philly cheesesteaks in town, don't miss out. read more

Lyn's - Best cheesesteak with bacon! - Sandwiches Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

For $3, you can get fresh eggs, spinach, and any of three cheeses served on your choice of bread. And it only takes like 2 minutes for them to make. It's BANGIN'. Ask for salt, pepper, and siracha. Again, I want to stress: FRESH EGGS. As in, they crack the eggs out of the shell right in front of you instead of using a carton of egg beaters. It makes me so happy. High quality, fresh breakfast cheaper than anywhere else on campus (except maaaaybe Wawa). read more

What Lyn's does, Lyn's does well. To preface this review, I've only been here a few times for lunch in the recent past. However, my experiences here have been nothing short of amazing. I don't consider myself a huge food truckie, but Lyn's is one of my new favorite food trucks to hit up in Philly. I've had a few things here and there -- the eggplant spinach parm is solid (although the slices of eggplant themselves are pretty thin), the "italian sausage works" works (I like to get parmesan sauce on mine -- is that weird??), and the salads are surprisingly big and filling. The service itself is fantastic. There's always a decent amount of people in line here (which is a good sign), but Lyn works quickly and efficiently, while also remaining super friendly the entire time. Prices are good for what you're getting. Need to try the breakfast here (usually have a hard time getting up in the mornings to begin with, which might be the problem) to get the entire scope of this little spot near the quad. I always tell myself I'm going to get tired of this place, but for some reason, I can't stop myself from coming back. read more

Lyn's was definitely my fave when I lived in the Quad! I got her pizza steaks all the time. I'm not huge on cheese, so I like when the pizza sauce covered it all up. (However, this made much of the menu pretty limiting to me.) Lyn is also very nice and polite, and they're sure not to dirty your food with money-grubbing hands. Cheap, consistent, and convenient! I love that Lyn's was there bright and early for breakfast when no one else was. When I got out of my 9 AM class at 10:20, she was always there, waiting reliably while the other food trucks were just driving in or just plain missing. read more
