I love the place. Tomorrow 10/26/25 is their last day in business. I'm heartbroken they are closing. The owner is retiring . So happy for him to start his retirement. The sandwiches are so good. I'm going to miss coming here. read more

The place is in a small dumpy small mall. The front is nothing special. You walk in and it seems dark and a little dirty and dumpy. Like bright and clean. The menu was a little for everyone. The man took our order. I watched him use a touchscreen to place our orders and they proceed to hand the lunch meat to throw it on the grill. I almost canceled my order but Inwas hungry. The Rueben seemed to have twice as much sauerkraut on it as corned beef. Because of it I tasted more sauerkraut then 1000 island or corned beef. My wife got a turkey sandwich. Pretty much the same. Skimpy on the turkey. The fries were good and plentiful. The sub bread was good. It was toast and I enjoyed. I won't be back. read more

I love love love penn station's chicken cordon blue sandwich (small is 6", regular is 9" ans large is 12"). I order the regular with extra tomato!! their cookies are one of the best you can possible eat! I also recommend their lemonade!! This combo is my go to!! The fries are amazing, but I don't usually have room for all 4 so being a friend a share the fries! Let me know if you like it! Inspired with !!! Today after inhaling this yummy treat lol read more

Stopped by Penn Station for a quick lunch. I haven't been here in quite some time but the food never disappoints! We each got a grilled sandwich, freshly made lemonade, and shared fresh cut fries and cookie. The lemonade is freshly pressed behind the counter and fries are hand cut/ made to order. Don't skip the cookie as it's the perfect sweet treat! Staff were very friendly with ordering, check out, brining our food. Sandwich sizes are 6" for a small. My only reason for the not perfect rating was the ketchup dispenser was almost out, I grabbed the last few napkins available, and the table hadn't been cleaned prior to us sitting down. The food is amazing but restocking supplies is also important. read more

We were on our way back home from a long day at the zoo and my brother and sister-in-law recommended stopping by here for a quick and early dinner. They said that they come here whenever they're in the area and really enjoy the bread they use and the fresh fries. Considering that I'd recently spent a weekend in the great land of cheesesteaks out east and that they are both pretty picky eaters I didn't expect much but after having a delicious cheesesteak I have to second their endorsement. I've probably passed by this location hundreds of times but it never really caught my attention as it's in a pretty nondescript strip mall off of Butterfield Rd. The restaurant is fairly bare-bones in their setup. A nice sized dining room with plenty of tables and some booths and a big tv for broadcasting sports games. You order at the front and then move to the back to pay. All of the staff were very nice. They have bottles of Heinz Malt Vinegar next to the fountain machine and apparently many people are fans of their lemonade so I'd like to give that a try at some point. Got a small (seemed like a 6") cheesesteak with provolone and everything on white bread (they offer several types of cheese and have multigrain bread too). The cheesesteak comes with sautéed onions, mushrooms, grilled banana peppers, spicy brown mustard, mayo, and pizza sauce which I was hesitant about but I'm glad I went with their standard toppings as it tasted great! The white bread they use has a good chew to it and toasts really well and the sandwich had big chunks of chopped and seasoned steak covered with a juicy and perfectly melted heap of provolone along with plenty of those delicious toppings. I got a small order of their fresh made fries which also tasted perfect and a fountain drink for a total of about $13. They don't have any combo meals unless you're ordering their monthly special which is the chicken Philly for this October. The small cheesesteak was more than enough for me but my brother who tends to have a bigger appetite ordered the regular size and that looked formidable enough but they also have a large and snack size. My sister-in-law got her usual chicken teriyaki sandwich and that also looked really tasty. If you're looking for a cheesesteak/Dagwood/deli sub place that is a step above the usual chain shops for a reasonable price I would totally recommend taking a trip to Penn Station. read more

Penn station never disappoints. Fresh bread and amazing chicken teriyaki as usual. Fries are some of the best in the industry.

Great sub but friendly awesome staff. Dude gave me a cookie for being a first time guest! Hats off to those gents! Gracias por todo!

The food is solid!. The ingredients seem to be very good and very fresh. The owner was super nice. Everything was piping hot. The restaurant is clean and so are the bathrooms. Let's not like. I've been a few times and I will be back.That gourmet food but great cheesesteaks. They know what they are doing. read more

Nasty! Not the same as it was. Filth bathrooms and Restaraunt. Food is. It good. Low quality and quantity of food slapped together.

Pretty good for a fast service! The place was clean and had a back east feel! We will be back. We loved the chocolate chunk square cookies!! read more

Great service and good food. I enjoyed my sandwich! Guys were certainly attentive. I will be back! read more

Penn Station - Snack Size Reuben, Fresh-Cut Fries&Fresh-Squeezed Lemonade - Sandwiches Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

Went here for lunch on a Saturday based on Yelp reviews. The experience was ok but was hoping for more based on the reviews. I had a chicken cheese steak sandwich which wasn't as good as a similar sandwich at Jersey Mikes. She had a Turkey wrap that left her looking for more. She felt the Turkey was very salty. The workers were friendly but the food left us wanting. read more

Love this place and wish there were more. I always get three every time I go. Pizza,chic teriyaki, Philly! The fries are bomb too. OPEN MORE LOCATIONS!! Only bad thing is they close early 8:30. I always pass them around 845 9 so I always miss it for dinner read more

Service was decent however the overprice sandwiches needed more substances. They are cheap on the ingredients. The restaurant needed to be cleaner. read more

Literally ordered 5mins before close. The chicken Philly is a hit! I will be back for sure to try the steak.

I love this place, the fries are always fresh and the sandwiches hits the right spot. The philly cheese steak sandwich is my favorite thing. read more

The food was good...not great. I had the cheesesteak and fries. Fries were kinda greasy. I'll give them another try with a different sandwich next time. read more

Absolutely loved their cheesesteak sandwich! My friend got the chicken parmigiana and loved it as well. The staff were nice and we really enjoyed eating there! read more

Penn Station - Cheesesteak - Sandwiches Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

Philly cheesesteaks are the best!! I love jersey mikes too, but if I want a cheesesteak then I'm coming here. Perfectly cooked, piping hot, perfect amount of cheese, and the banana peppers and spicy mustard is a very nice touch. Highly recommend read more

Not good. The sub is as supposed to be toasted and it definitely was not. The was hardly any meat and the bread was raw. The sandwich looked nothing like any of the pics on the website. On the positive side the french fry's were awesome! But I won't be back. read more

Not sure how this business stays afloat. The shop has a large menu of cheesesteak variants a In addition to other sandwich. Main issue is the 'steak' itself. I wasn't expecting gourmet beef here but the meat just wasn't seasoned in anything. The traditional cheesesteak I ordered was smothered in a provolone cheesy and greasy mess, but the beef was flavorless. If not for the banana peppers and mustard, there was no indication of anything salty or savory in this bland attempt at east coast sandwich cuisine. The old proprietor was also a dismissive unfriendly order taker making the place a 2 strike shop not worth risking a third for. read more

I've had rolls in Bangor, Maine, roast beef & po boys down in Lake Charles, Louisiana, fish tacos in Malibu, California, & wanted to try the Penn Station EASTCOAST Subs! * This place was everything & more than what I expected! The tastes fresh & has a unique savory bite & is soft & absorbent for the melted cheese & juicy meats! The meat to bread ratio was great, & the inside of the bread was flavorful, while the outside had a nice firm bite to it. * I got two 8 in subs i they were perfect to eat half of each I save the rest for later! Double the delight! * I would say "they only have" for sweets, but these fluffy, rich, soft on the inside, crunchy around the corner were amazing! The chocolate on the inside is still soft and gooey. I got two of them! * Highly recommend this place if you have not been! read more

My husband is from Boston, and always raves about New England's grinders, and how we don't have any good ones in IL. That is, until we tried Penn Station. The rolls are perfect. The meat and cheese are perfect. And the chocolate chip cookie - perfect. It's not close enough to home to get it often, but our hairstylist is in the strip mall next door, so we always make sure to get it for dinner when we're getting our hair done. These sandwiches are 100x better than Quizno's, Jersey Mike's or any other Philly cheesesteak you'll find elsewhere. Oh, and the fries are fresh cut and fried each order. They are delicious. Go get you some! read more

Pictures look good and place is nice, but when the guy making your sandwich is sweating all over it ...kinda turned my stomach and didn't eat all day because of that. When I pointed out to the guy making food, he acted like it's normal. Maybe starts with management, I mean no one saw this guy dripping on peoples food?? Or is this normal there? Needless to say , I DID NIOT EAT and canceled my order!! Not gonna recommend this one for that reason alone read more

Ride service taking the order today. Very short and seemed to be frustrated. I waited 16 minutes to get my dine in order. The cheesesteak small size was lacking meat. The bread wasn't grilled enough. Very spongy and no texture. read more

Great Philly cheesesteak! A must try ! Excellent customer service and fresh cut fries ! Definitely my new lunch spot !

The Philly cheese steak is so delicious and made to order! Always made fresh and there's just something about the bun, it's so soft and delicious that it just compliments the meat so well. Highly recommend. Their French fries are always delicious, sometimes they're a bit over done but still taste great. Service has always been impeccable!! read more

Ordered a philly cheesesteak with some fries. Place was steadily busy, which is usually a good sign.

The manager Kevin makes sure to take care of his customers. Can accommodate on anything you would like to order as well. Fantastic place. -Hugh read more

1st, let me say that I've noticed this particular Penn for the last 10yrs and it seems to be hidden if u ask me but maybe the GREAT FOOD, GREAT SERVICE, CLEANLINESS and loyal customers is what keeps this location relevant! The FRENCH FRIES are great-I haven't met one I don't like....actually I don't like Wendy's fries. Lol Last but not least I'll end it here--- CHEESESTEAK...FOODGASM read more

Every time I have ordered penn station the food has been delicious! I am unfortunately knocking a star down due to the slowness. Every time I'm there it takes them 40+ minutes to make my sandwich. I had a penn station near me when I lived in Michigan and they would take 10 minutes max to make the food even when they were busy! I hope they can get more organized because I love this place! I've had the cheesesteak which is my current favorite, the Italian is also delicious and so is the teriyaki chicken! Highly recommend if you don't mind the wait. read more

I tried your subs for the first time today. The fries were ok, but my sandwich was Horrible! It was one of the worst sandwiches I have ever tried to eat in my LIFE! I paid 9 dollars - I got 2 bites and into the trash. Disgusting, it tasted of feet, and was drenched almost drowned in honey mustard. Honey mustard does not belong on a Club, but I gave it a whirl. BAD Will never be back, I want my money back, but I know I won't get it. read more

While a lot of my friends and family have always been into fast food burgers, I've always been the girl hanging out at the sandwich shop. I think it says a lot about me - that I'm not scared to go against the crowd and do my own thing or maybe it psychologically says absolutely nothing about me other than the fact that I like my protein and veggies between two pieces of bread. Either way, I live to find new sandwich shops around work, so I was glad when my husband (Michael C.) found this place without me a few weeks ago. He hyped it up quite a bit so I knew it would only be a matter of time before we checked it out. Even though the Reuben and Philly Cheese are the most raved about, I decided to go against the crowd once again and go for the Chicken Teriyaki. I don't really know WHY I ordered that, as I'm more of a roast beef kinda girl, but I figured I'd try something new. Their sandwiches are the toasted kind, which always makes everything taste better. I really liked the sauce they put on there and the add-on sauteed mushrooms and onions were a perfect combination to the moist deliciousness that was the chicken. The only thing I thought was that it could use some lettuce to up the flavor and textures. If I ever ordered it again, I would ask for them to throw some lettuce on after the toasting process. This time around, he ordered the chicken cordon bleu, which is another fave of mine at most sandwich shops. Sadly, the chicken was just some grilled chicken with no seasoning or flavor on it. The sandwich did have mustard, but I thought it would have been nice to have some flavor on the meat. The sandwich wasn't bad per se, but it was underwhelming. We ordered a large fry and it turns out it's a bucket of fries. ENTIRELY way too much food for the two of us, considering I usually nibble at three fries and am done. The malt vinegar that was mentioned in a tip for this place was spot on. I've never tried my fries like that but I was impressed and will definitely reach for a bottle next time too. I can firmly say that this place is 'pretty good' for me at the moment and will be heavily on my lunch/sandwich rotation. read more

Sandwiches are fantastic... Fries are even better.... there lemonade is excellent!!!! But most of all the service is wonderful..... thanks for a great overall experience!!! read more

Penn Station - Lunch time - Sandwiches Near Me - Lombard, Illinois

It has taken me a long time to come to this restaurant. I guess it is because sub sandwiches are not my first or even 2nd choice for fast food. I should have come her many months ago. I had the special which was the chicken cordon bleu, small fries, medium size drink and chocolate chip cookie. Here's what impressed me: 1) The chicken for the chicken cordon bleu was cooked fresh for my order. 2) The bun is soft and not too big so it is not like you are eating just a loaf of bread. 3)The employees were very nice. 4) Restaurant was clean, even after the lunch time rush, when we came in. 5) Tuna salad is on the sweet side. I liked that but my husband did not particularly care for it being that sweet. 6) Fries are great. They must be freshly hand cut. I will return for some more good food. There are lots of sandwiches that look good. read more

I have been going to the bolingbrook location recently after a friend suggested i try this place. I love their sandwiches, lemonade, and cookies. Everyone i know has enjoyed anything they've ordered from Penn station. We did not know of this location. After leaving Oakbrook mall, we were trying to find a place to eat and spotted this location out of the corner of our eye. Although its a small plaza, there is ample parking. The store was very clean and the staff was super polite. This time my husband and i ordered the Artichoke and mushroom sandwich as we usually do, and the large fries to share. The sandwiches came out open faced and cut, which i thoroughly enjoyed. The prices are fair and the menu is identical to all other locations. I most definitely recommend Penn Station if you pass one by!! read more

The staff here is great, everyone was polite and outgoing. The food was even better. You can't go wrong with the Philly Cheesesteak & Fries. Will definitely be coming back. read more

This is one of the places my classmates and I frequent for a quick cheap meal. It is similar to Jimmy John's and Subway's but I think it is cheaper. Keep an eye out for the BOGO free coupons, those are great ways to save money! I really like their philly cheesesteak sub. I tried the sausage sub once and it was okay, I wouldn't get it again because the philly cheesesteak is way better. The service is super fast, you'll get your food shortly after you order. Great place to go to if you only have an hour for lunch. read more
