Coworker recommended this spot to me and I'm happy he did as I probably wouldn't have went there on my own with it being a chain. Friendly staff and good subs every time I go there. I don't understand the price with the large sub though. Small sub is 6 inches $7.29 Reg sub is 9 inches and $10.49 ($3.20 more for three inches, cool) Large sub is 12 inches and $13.99 (Those 3 inches now cost $3.50, huh?) It talks me out of getting the large every time. read more

The sign was unclear, the wait was long, and the staffs are incredibly impatient. The menu is overpriced and the tables are unclean. Do not recommend. read more

Is there a promo going on that I am not aware of or are there discounts for individuals that are in relationships with employees? Ember gives food out to people who must be her friends or relatives she never charges them for their meals! The last time I was in I asked her may I please have some coupons so I could also receive free items. Ember became angry she informed me that the establishment did not have any discounts "not for you we don't" This woman is racist I wouldn't trust her to make my dog food. I won't be returning to this location and if that wasn't harsh enough this woman charged my card for the free food that she had given that day to other customers read more

Very disappointed! My Co-workers food was given to another customer today and they went to the person it was given to and asked for it back the tried to serve it to my co-worker... stood in line to pick up my food and my food was sitting on top of a refrigerator not even in a bag.. The manager Katie was very rude and wanted to argue..I definitely took pictures of my food sitting on top of the refrigerator read more

I left cause they don't have bowls like everyone else does. I can't eat bread it get stuck cause I had esophagus cancer.

June 25, 2023, I went to have a sandwich, I ate 1 half and left since I was in the area shopping. I'm now home and I thought in my mind maybe the extra meat and the extra cheese would be on the other half. Well it wasn't so I called the restaurant to complain, Casey the manager or whatever her name was rude I felt and I asked her to just refund me for half the sandwich, she said she would only do that if I drove 15 mins back to the restaurant n I told her absolutely not. I also advised her the one on liberty downtown makes my sandwiches perfectly when I pay for extra meat n cheese so I know the difference. I won't be returning to this location especially if someone wants to talk very condescending to a paying customer. These managers need to do better and have some training for good customer service. I can come and train them all if need be. read more

Great good , great people and service. Clean space and nice setting. Always do good with my order

This place is a breath of fresh air in Pittsburgh. Service is so welcoming and has some really leadership behind the counter like clock work. Thank you!! Food is always convenient and consistent. Love the vibe of the staff here. read more

You can see you sub being made fresh :)and ingredients seemed to be fresh for me so no complaints only thing I didn't like was that they give you more lettuce than meat every time I don't have the time to wait for it to be cooked in front of me but it's good this is usually my treat to myself after a long week read more

The cheese steak was EVERY thing. The break was the greatest contribution to the flavor. The Hot Spicy Italian was delicious also. Both sandwiches were melt in your mouth delectable. Sign me up as a new phone. Time for a nap. The service was amazing at the Pittsburg location on Liberty. 1 star missed due to the unclean cash register. But this is something that can be fixed they were busy today with orders fro Hoop Group Pit Jam. read more

ahhh, another visit to the Penn Station. This time I am coming off of a long battle with stomach issues, therefore I have been eating smaller portions more often. This made me really notice that here they have different sizes for everything. I am actually not accustomed to getting different sizes when it comes to sandwiches. I got a medium sub and fries with a water. The sub was pretty much gigantic for me. I think that I should have gotten a small, which turns out that someone said the small was a six inch, the regular is a 9 inch and the large is a 12 inch? I am still not even sure, but there portions are very large even on a small sub(a tone of toppings, ingredients). The fries are also very large, almost brings to mind the Original Hot Dog Shop French fry sizes. Of course, they could never compete with those sizes, but they almost come close. Yeah, next time I will get a small fries if I don't want leftovers. Having leftovers the day after the meal was not so bad though. I think as far as gourmet subs go, if such a thing exists anymore, these guys do it well. I would ask for no mayo on my classic Italian next time though. I have never had, or wanted mayo on an Italian sub. read more

I have been here many times and they consistently provide above average subs. I typically steer toward their hot ones, the chicken parm being my favorite. You review the menu and order at a counter, then pay at the end of the line. You can't really see, but they are making your subs on the other side of the counter in front of you. Your sub size options are S/M/L. They offer fresh house cut fries that go great with the malt vinegar they provide. Some other things they showcase are their chocolate chip cookies and their lemonade. They can also provide catering/boxed lunches. One downside if they are alittle busy is the wait. It's not like subway, where they churn you out. Even though I ordered immediately when I walked in, it was still about 15 minutes for my food to come out. That said, the cashier was nice and apologetic and it is SO MUCH better than subway. They have a promotion going on through 4/30/20 where if you donate $2 for Down syndrome awareness, you get a free small sub with any purchase larger than $2. Good for Down syndrome awareness, good for my pocket and belly! read more

This place pleasantly surprised me-- first time here. I ordered a club grilled with fries. Portions didn't disappoint. The sandwich had plenty of meats and cheese, and the fresh cut fries are crispy. I'd definitely come back here again and try a cheesesteak or the club sandwich as a wrap. read more

Penn Station East Coast Subs - 8" club with fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

My buddy said this place has fantastic subs so I was like okay great let's eat. Well unfortunately I wasn't so enthused about the steak sub. It was just plain & not tasty. I did make the mistake of ordering onions on my sammich and they were more raw than sauteed. Hopefully the next time we get better Sammy's. read more

The poor food handling skills had me quite surprised. It is inappropriate for those manning the cash register to be touching food or bags in any capacity. One staff member came from outside (seemingly on a break) and only sanitized before getting back to work. I literally saw them come from outside and go right behind the counter. Overall the staff just doesn't seem very responsible and is quite careless about making sure everything is clean. All of this during a pandemic no less. I understand this is fast food, but I've seen much better. The food was tasty, I ordered a Turkey Bacon Ranch. But overall menu is little expensive for the value. read more

This is the first time I've sat down to eat post-COVID. Tbh, I was nervous but it's hot out and I wanted to sit in the AC. The man taking orders was nice. As I was waiting on my order, I was being dumb and not thinking about what I was doing and I leaned over on a table. After I stood back up and stepped away, that same man came over and wiped the table down without saying anything to me. It showed me they're taking the precautions that they can, and were very polite about it. On top of that, their food is really good. It's hard to find places to eat for less than $15 that take thing seriously and are nice. This is one place that does that. read more

i didn't even say anything as soon as I walked in the girl with the red hair said "it's goin be a whole cause it's just us 2" very rude as she took my order she tapped on the register with a pen like I just walked into her living room uninvited! I'll never come back just because of her!!! the 2 gentlemen however one with a goatee and one with dreadlocks was very nice and apologized for her behavior she needs to find a new career! read more

i love there service!!! im allergic to mushrooms and they always wipe the grill. i had one issue here and it was well taken care of! thank you penn station for your impeccable service read more

LOVE everything they have....I have never had a bad menu item and I've tried almost everything they have to offer at one time it another...place is B-O-M-B....don't ever change!! You guys rock! Wish I could give it 100 stars or more read more

Always good! Give you tons of meat. Fries are ok just a little bland no seasoning. Food comes out fast read more

Penn Station East Coast Subs - Dagwood - Sandwiches Near Me - Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

I really wanted to enjoy this place after reading reviews and hearing good things about it from friends...........(yes, there's a but, a big old butt). BUT... When I ordered something went wrong, way wrong. Either they need to up their medical coverage benefits or hire new, competent staff. I ordered a Club sub cold (hearing check). The slip showed what ordered (eye check). What I got was a toasted sub...ugh, all I wanted was a cold sub. I didn't want a toasted bread, melted cheese or hot meat. I wanted it nice and cold. I hate having wilty type of lettuce, tomatoes don't taste the same to me, and when you add the sauce beforehand and heat it up, it doesn't taste the same. I may give this place a second chance, but only after the bad taste is out of my mouth. read more

Not the greatest place to go for a sub. The food is bland as hell. The girl with the green hair is very unpleasant and should not be working in the service industry if she hates it that much. Would I go back-absolutely not! Subway id a hell of a lot better. read more

I love this little shop with delicious sandwiches and French fries! The fries are delicious, and I don't think many people realize this. Everything has good flavor and tastes fresh! Usually not a line and because they make everything fresh, it does take a bit of time. But the food is always worth the wait. read more

I visited the Beverly Hills, Michigan location, for the first, and last time. When I think of cheese steak sandwiches, the one I ordered from here was mediocre. The bun was small, the cheese was sparse and the flavor profile lacking, in distinction. My curiosity satisfied I'll head back to Jersey Mike's were the food normally, exceeds expectations. read more

A great place to go if you want a mediocre sandwhich served with a whole lot of attitude. When I have been to other Penn Station's in other cities I can depend on a decent sandwich, but not here. read more

Got a grilled Italian and it was very good and so were the fries! My boyfriend likes the steak he got as well. The works were very pleasant and nice! read more

After two years of hearing people rave about this place, I finally decided to give it a try. Admittedly, I'm not a sandwich person and try to avoid breads as much as possible, but I still went into it with an open mind. Unfortunately, it was still a huge disappointment all the way around. I ordered the Italian sub toasted with no mayo. What I got was the most pathetic looking "sandwich" I have ever seen. It definitely did NOT look like the picture on the menu! The meats were sparse, shriveled and overcooked (crunchy) and my sandwich lacked the tomatoes that were promised on the menu. It was almost comic just how miserably inadequate the itsy-bitsy pieces of meat looked on the bread. I actually ended up taking all of the meat and cheese from one side of the bread and putting it all on one half just to make it look like a real sandwich. The taste was nothing extraordinary and the crunchy pieces of salami and whatever "meat" they put on were definitely not worth it. Ironically, the bread was tasty. My Partner In Cuisines chicken parm. sub was tasty, but still desperately lacking in a good topping vs. bread ratio. People who like fresh cut fries may enjoy the fries at Penn Station, but I wasn't a fan as I prefer the smaller, crunchier shoestring fries. With those, however, at least I knew what I was getting into. For the money you pay to get a hoagie at Penn Station, you could get a really good sub (or at least a half decent one) at a local pizza place. I will be doing that from now on and certainly not returning to Penn Station. read more

Is it weird I'm not really a sub/sandwich kinda girl? I think it just ends up being way too much bread and not enough ingredients. So I'm always hesitant to try these kinds of places. This was a sort of "out of desperation, I can't find anywhere else to eat that's really fast in the neighborhood" kind of sitch. Glad to have find this nice alternative. If you know me, you know I hate Subway. The smell, the stale ingredients, the horrible time of my life were I ate it for like a year or two straight (because of working at the Starbucks across from it). YUCK! So I'm ultra picky when it comes to sub shops. This place really seems to have fresh ingrediants and a nice selection of subs. I ordered the Italian sub toasted The bread was delicious and also an Italian type. Although I do love Italian bread, I do wish they had a wheat option, so I could feel a tad better about the amount of mayo and Italian dressing they put on it...which I loved by the way (I love me some sauces!). I also wish they had put in a a little bit more meat and veggies. I was left with about a quarter of the bread empty because I had eaten all the good stuff out of it already! Still, it filled me up and was pretty tasty, and that makes me a happy camper! It will now be added to the regular rotation of "Fast Food" options in the East End, and I'm A-Okay with that! read more

Great subs! Comparable to Quizno's. The prices are good for the amount of food you get. Their fries are great! I always get the cheese steak with sausage added. The lemon aid is good too! read more

I love Penn Station, but the service in this location is exceedingly slow. Use common sense and try to come here during off-peak hours if you're looking to snag a sandwich and be out the door in less than 10 minutes. Also, good luck trying to find parking. Otherwise, with regards to the food, it's fantastic. read more

Penn Station isn't bad but not exactly a place I would try again. The subs were decent, probably better than subway but nowhere near as good as quizno's. Quizno's simply uses better ingredients, has subs that seemed to be crafted by a chef, so all of the flavors compliment each other while Penn Stations subs seem more haphazardly thrown together and then toasted. Their fries are fresh, blanched first and then finished the second time in oil and as another reviewer put are greasy but good. Overall their food is adequate, with a slightly higher prices like Quizno's but without the high quality and taste of a Quizno's. read more

I had really big dreams for lunch today.... then I went here. Too unkind? Well I realize my dream was really big and thats why I am going with 3 over the 2 star rating only because I had a 2 star floating in my head all day. My job has me driving all over the county 4 days a week so I thought Oakland, great lunch spots, I'll try some place new. Back to my dream... I was dreaming of a big cheesey ooey gooey onion pepper slathered Philly cheesteak sub with lots of bread maybe a little au jus dripping down the side. Fattening sure but I would have covered half and saved it for later. I walk in and see the photo menus, using photos is a bad sales idea because the food almost never measures up.However everyone is doing it I get it. One deceiving difference here was the bread. It was sub style large white bread in the photos, ok pretty much what I am used to for "east coast subs" being a ny girl. My dream begins to defer... as I glance at the menu I see no green pepper offered in the photos oh well I can deal with it, then when I order sadly so sauce offered other than mayo (yeck) and mustard so I stick with mustard cry for lost peppers and decide to go with a combo. For a four inch sub and a combo its 8$ after tax. Ok thats fine because remember my dream with the Big thick meaty sub? I sit and wait for my food friendly service, ok price, my belly grumbles. Then I glance down at what the cashier brings me and shed a philly tear for what I see on my plate. It's some sort of deflated philly subway shriveled looking thing. Not much meat or cheese, few veggies and EEK a baguette? The meat was pretty flavorless, cheese just eh, and again can I cry of the lack of veggies? Don't get me wrong Je t'aime the baguette, crispy on the outside soft inside..... with some slabs of brie, cucumber tomato and a drizzle of olive oil and balsamic. Just Not on my philly sandwich. Ya dig? This is where my dream deferred, I'm saving it for Philly or the next time I am back home in ny. The fries were nice fresh but not crispy, but the sandwich was very small not enough to hold me through the day. So if you have any metabolism at all I would order a larger sandwich and skip the combo, better value food for buck. Note to self next time im in this spot I am going to Chipotle, they never let me down for flavor and value. So this place is a chain sandwich shop don't bring your big lunch dreams here save it for someplace else. I do like a few chains but not this one. read more

I like this place, but I'm not a big fan of their food. Pretty expensive for what you get. Employees are friendly though, and it is generally a clean place. It was one of the only places with somewhat decent cheesesteaks open at the start of Covid. read more

We order wraps for a meeting yesterday. This was an embarrassment and I cannot understand how Penn Sation would deliver such things ... we could not find out out where the chichen salad or turkey were... just some sort of liquid in the wrap... embarrassing and for sure not tasty. The explanation from Pen Sation was that wraps were new things for them to do ... but why would they dare selling such food items that only damage their brand and upset customers! Just sell what you do best! read more

I've only recently discovered this place. I don't know why I've never gone before, I see locations everywhere. The steak and chicken parm sandwiches and fries are like crack. Can't get enough. The crew at the Centre Ave location are always so happy and friendly. Maybe it's the crack-like food? I'm joking, they're honestly sweet and patient kids. read more

Penn Station offers a delicious selection of subs, with a bit of an unhealthy structure to the building of the sandwich. They let you do whatever you want, if they have it, they will sell it to you on the sub. The staff and service is always above par. A thing that I appreciate in a fast food environment. In fact, service is excellent here on the regular. As for the three star review, I base that mostly on the price point, which is a bit high for my perceived market value. Also, and I know the fries are made fresh, but somehow I always get more disappointing fries in my batch than delicious ones. Not sure how that happens. read more

By far one of the best sub places in Pittsburgh. I can't even remember how many times I've ordered the grilled Italian sub. They can take all my money. 10/10 would recommend. read more

Thank you for helping me with my burn! This is the most welcomed place with very nice people. I burnt my hand with boiled water at my room, but need to get to school immediately. After simple treatment, I grabbed a Ziploc to go out and find place for ice which could be helpful with my pain. Then I came in Penn station, they were so nice and care to help me with this emergency. Thank you! Thank you so much!The ice I put on my hand on the road to school was very important and helpful. Thanks again! read more

This place seems to be hit or miss. A few weeks ago I had the Italian sandwich and it was delicious -- one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. The fries are pretty good, nothing to write home about but worth ordering. Tonight I got the cordon bleu and when I opened it, there were 4 little chunks of chicken and 2 pieces of ham. While the sauce and what little meat I had was good, this was a big disappointment. Please put the same amount of meat on all your sandwiches if you're going to charge the same price for them. read more

Always hustling, great fries! One of most underrated sub places around. Really fresh bread. I am a fan of the Italian and my roommate loves the chicken parm. Can't go wrong! read more
