This hasn't been good to me in a long time, but not today! Let me start by saying they are heavy on the onions and light on other toppings. The fries had no salt, but packets are available. The cheesesteak was good, slightly salty. I wish they had wiz. I really liked the Reuben. It had some inedible fatty bits and could have used more sauce, but quite tasty. Customer service was excellent. read more

A sub from here is always fire! I'm a Philly cheesesteak lover & honestly this is the best Philly in Cincy! Service is always good no matter how busy they are...the place could use a soak in bleach for few days or a refresher! My sandwich was hot & fresh as the place was empty on a Friday night! read more

Penn Station - Regular Philadelphia Cheesesteak - Sandwiches Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

See all

This location is super friendly but dirty and unsanitary! Makes me weary about getting food from here! Enjoy!!

Amazing customer service, quick and delicious. I highly recommend going here and checking it out.

I went in to use a coupon for free fries that I got in the mail. When I arrived, it was empty. I was on a call and they have a policy about not placing orders while on the phone. As I finished several people came in. I eventually placed my order. I asked that the grill would be cleaned so that the chicken isn't mixed with beef. The young man taking the order assured me that it won't touch. I ordered teriyaki chicken and used my coupon for my free fries. It didn't take long to prepare because there were getting people in and out. The sandwich was good. Lots of onions however so had to pull some out. The fries are really good. Hate that they use peanut oil because my household can't eat them so I have to eat long before going home. It was good and loved the free fries. I will be back to this location when in the area. The service was good. The food was tasty. My only issue was all the onions on the sandwich. read more

Good food, kinda greasy but it's Penn Station. They were nice at first. Went to pay and they are very soft spoken, so I could not understand them properly. Got my cup but asked for lemonade. So i got confused. Handed the cup back, got laughed at. They only called me little girl. Extremely demeaning. Also, they put down my name wrong, so when called I did not get up right away. Figured out it was me. Got up and went to get it thanked the woman, she rolled her eyes at me. They are extremely rude and honestly just not worth it. read more

This was my first time having penn station and I was pleasantly surprised. Ordered on DoorDash and the food came quick. The bread started to get a little soggy on the bottom when I got it though. I ordered the veggie sub (made vegan) and fries read more

I ordered the "big penn" sub and I wasn't too crazy about it. It was drenched in thousand island dressing. My boyfriend ordered the philly cheese steak and he loved it. They have amazing fries that are fried in peanut oil. If you go there you have to order the fries. The place was dirty when we went. The tables had napkins and drinks left by previous customers. read more

This penn station has been clutch since I was a freshman in 2005! My most recent experience just makes me appreciate the crew even more. I came in on a Friday night, it was hella crowded, the line is moving, and I wait about 10 mins for my small cheesesteak. One cashier comes up asks what I ordered, I explain, then another asks what I ordered, I explain and the cashier goes "She been here for a minute waiting patiently, where's her order?" The line is unclear, maybe someone else grabbed It? I just say its fine, I know it's crowded so I was waiting a little while longer to see if my name was called. The staff proceeds to remake my order, gives me complimentary drink and fries for my patience unsolicited and got me out within the minute. It was a thoughtful gesture, I don't want those things being overlooked and this location is always absurdly busy but the team is dope. Thank you Clifton Penn Station, yall are amazing if no one has let you know that this week. read more

The staff at this location are very friendly and prepare food well and efficiently! I love the artichoke sandwich- delicious read more

Sometimes you just need a cheesesteak in Penn station is the best in the business. I came in here in the middle of the afternoon and no one was around so service is great, fries were hot, the sandwich was incredible. They do the classic cheesesteak better than anyone I've ever encountered. Not only that, but as I was digging into my fries, sandwich, and fresh squeezed lemonade, one of the guys working there brought me out of fresh baked chocolate chip cookie on the house. That's a good working lunch. I'm sure being on a college campus this place has spotty service times, but I had it on a Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock it was perfect. read more

My co-worker and I decided to go here for lunch today. The staff were very rude and the restaurant was dirty. When I returned to work and took a bite of my food, I noticed a ball of black hair in my sandwich. I will never go to this location again. Ick. read more

Penn Station - Look closely to notice the ball of hair in my sandwich. DISGUSTING! - Sandwiches Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Im going back in time for this review, In college I used to frequent here all the time, I have never found subs since then that are better. The bread is amazing....the meat and fillings are delicious and the fries are crazy! I wish Penn Station was everywhere..its a bit more pricey but when you go its worth it. read more

This food is fine. A bit greasy. Workers can be mean at times. The owner is even worse. I expressed some concerns to him via email and he basically called me a liar and went on some rant on how one of his employees have been working there for 19 years and he's been there 41 years. No amount of years should allow for someone to be rude and disrespectful to people that pay money to eat their food. I'd recommend eating at another location. The workers at some of the other places have been nicer. However, they don't wear gloves at this location and I find that to be disgusting. read more

Chicken Parmesan Review: I love their cheesesteaks & fries & lemonade. Hot, fresh, messy enough; delicious. Way to go! Chicken Parmesan was too salty. The Parmesan is nice, but the marinara is too salty; too heavy. I want food I want more of. Lighten up the salt. Add a little sweetness; freshness. Just a touch more garlic, maybe, no more garlic is just fine. The friendly staff said "Sorry, no" when I asked for some hot pepper flakes. They gladly gave me some lettuce, tomato, & mayo packets when I asked. Just too heavy. I want a cheesesteak right now. H. Lloyd read more

Killing it on national sandwich day! Service was epic, quick, hustling, all our sides in the bags. Thanks! read more

Found a freaking hair in my sandwich. There was one girl working and no one was wearing a hair net. I legit gaged when I found the hair... gross read more

I lived in Philadelphia for a couple years and was a regular patron of places like Jim's Steaks, so I'm always on the lookout for a great cheesteak. It's not a hard recipe, but it's almost impossible to find a place outside of Philly that really gets it. Unfortunately, I never got as far as actually eating here, so I can't comment about the food. They could serve the best cheesteak in the universe for all I know, but it doesn't matter because I'll never darken their doors again. I went in with a pretty specific idea of what I wanted: An 8" Philly cheesteak with provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, and mayo, with a side order of chips and a regular soda. A pretty simple order, right? Any fast food worker with more than two functioning brain cells should be able to comprehend it enough to charge me the correct amount and pass it on to the person making the sandwiches. I stepped up to the cashier and began to place my order, but before I could even get two words out, he cut me off in mid-sentance to bluntly ask, "for here or to go?" Umm, that's for here. Now can I finish? When I tried to continue with my order, he once again interrupted me in mid-sentance to ask if I wanted white or wheat bread. Getting frustrated, I answered him, and then tried to continue. And then he cut me off in mid-sentance again to ask me something else. Now I'm pissed. When I took a deep breath and informed him that I didn't appreciate being constantly interrupted while trying to place my order, he abruptly turned around and went to the back of the restaurant, and while still in full view of the dining room, exclaimed "I'm not dealing with this asshole." Another employee came up to take my order, and once again, wouldn't even let me get two words out before interrupting me in mid-sentance to ask if I wanted my meal for here or to go, what type of bread, etc. At this point I said "fuck it", walked out, and had a nice meal at the Chipotle location around the corner. Late that night I sent an email to Penn Station's main customer service address recounting my experience, which was promptly forwarded to that location's franchise owner, who contacted me via email. He explained that their computerized cash register system requires that employees input the information in a certain sequence, which means the employee may sometimes have to interrupt a customer in order to input the order in a way that's satisfactory to the computer. Apparently their employees aren't real humans capable of storing information for more than ten seconds at a time, but are merely automatons who exist simply to input sandwich orders to a computer and collect money. (The manager also informed me that because of my sin of dropping the f-bomb in front of one of his employees, I'm also permanently banned from his location. I guess the cashier, who sported gang tattoos and called me an asshole, was deeply offended by my use of the f-word in public.) To me, the whole computer excuse is a complete cop-out. If your computer system requires your employees to treat customers with such rudeness, then you need a different computer system. There's no reason the cashier couldn't have let me finish my order, input whatever information is required, and then politely ask me any follow-up questions. And no computer program made this cashier storm to the back of the restaurant and begin cursing about a customer in full view of the dining room. I've worked in the food/retail/ bar business long enough to know that some customers will go in specifically looking for trouble in the hopes of getting comped a free meal or drink, and I know that some customers will never be completely satisfied no matter how hard you try. But the service I received here, and the response I got from the franchise owner when I complained about it, was completely beyond the pale. I can understand if an employee is having a bad day, but for the franchise owner to blame the customer or his computer system for the employee's rudeness is totally unacceptable, and belies a seriously dysfunctional corporate culture. There are several chain sandwich shops within spitting distance of this Penn Station location, including Quizno's, Jimmy John's, and Subway. They can't afford to be alienating their potential customers. I eagerly await the day this Penn Station location inevitably goes out of business and makes room for something better, perhaps as a far-flung Jim's Steaks. read more

This is a great location, across the street from Macs Pizza Pub and a hot spot Friday and Saturday nights. They are usually packed, so be prepared to wait 20 minutes or so but they are always clean, friendly and when you get your food all is good in the world. Check out their monthly specials for a great day and if you are getting take out, be sure to ask for vinegar and ketchup before heading home! Personally I love the classic cheese steak sandwich and know that any fry bigger than a small is a hefty personal commitment, or something that will be needed to share. read more

Get your shit together. I love the food here, but you don't get to move extra slow because I'm the only person in here on a Sunday. Manager's on the phone and the person at the register obviously doesn't want to be here. Sorry, that sucks. I'll do my best not to disturb you in the future. read more

Terrible management. Customer service borderline non existent. If you want a sandwich do yourself a favor and go to one of the other 6 places in Clifton read more

I have never been to Philly, but I hope that when I do, the Philly Cheesesteak will be just a good as the ones at Penn Station. They are greasy and unhealthy, but they are delicious! This Penn Station exceeds the reputation of most others because of its uniqueness. There are constant specials for cheap subs. Also, this location is open very late on weekend (2 or 3am). Give it a shot, and don't judge the employees by their looks: they are very nice and always helpful! Best Penn Station around! read more

The best Penn Station in the Cincinnati area. The sandwiches are consistently delicious.

Chain place for subs, this one is about as good as the one in Louisville.

My favorite place around campus to go get a great sub. I would usually say it's a little expensive for a sub but it is definitely worth it. Give it a try whats there to lose. read more

They do a great job of getting orders out. We got exactly what we wanted. Kudos! It is never the best food for you but when you're drunk it doesn't matter! read more

LOVE Penn Station. They are open later on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night and nothing hits the spot then better then a Philly Cheese steak from Penn Station. I always ordered the same thing, Philly Cheese Steak with fries and a lemonade, Until one day I tried the Chicken Parm. It was equally as amazing!. Penn Station is still the best toasted sub place in Clifton and I can't see that changing anytime soon. read more

This is my favorite place to get a bite in Clifton. It should be common knowledge by now, but the place is open late on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday so be sure to stop in and grab a sub after hitting the bars. I've never had a true Philly Cheesesteak, but I think it'd be tough to beat the ones here. Their fries are the bees' knees! And their lemonade is amazing. I've had nearly every sub on the menu and each one is as good as the last. Definitely good food to eat if you're drunk, hungover, or just really hungry. read more

What kills me about every penn station..is the employees are not required to wear gloves! They peel off ur cheese wit nasty dirty nubby fingernails! And then think they're doin us a favor by putn on antibacterial solution! Well thx a lot..on top of having the dirt and grime hidden in your nubby nails on top of strong tastn solution! A $10 well spent on lunch or dinner! The owners of this place shud know this ain't acceptable for the kinda prices and less meat they give to us! Dissapointed patron! read more

Went to the Penn Station in Newport KY. When the manager on duty started to fix my food after doing other stuff. I asked him could he wash his hands before he fixes my food. He got all mad and started yelling about he's a person and I can't tell him what to do. I said " I want my money back" he got mad and said "NO" So I asked again he gave me it back and started yelling for me not to come back to his store again . Like it would. read more

Greasy, but the Philly Steak tastes good. Problem is they have narrowed the size of their bun and raised prices so getting less for more money. read more

This location has been remodeled and feels a lot nicer and cleaner inside. Staff is friendly and they even chased me down when I forgot my purse! Food is consistent with the Penn Station brand and tasty. Conveniently located near campus for students but can be tough to find a parking spot at peak hours. read more
