  1. Have only gotten the salads here, but they have been good.  Was given a lemonade as part of their special so that was nice.

    They also have sandwiches, hot plates, etc.  All seemed yum to me!

  2. I was here for a quick breakfast on an early morning and only grabbed for their fruit plate. I liked the fact that they provided both the small and large bowl to satisfy different demands. It was neat and organized inside with a bright color decor.

  3. Simply Foods Simply sucks!
    The ads they hand out on the street are not valid, they didn't have French fries, they overcharge, and false advertise what you are getting from what's on the wall. They also didn't even warm up my mexican panini fully and that simply sucked too. Their soda machine will also make a mess, overfill and splash everyone in close proximity. Also there's no bathroom.

  4. I like this place because you get a free lemonade and a bun with the purchase of a salad for under $8. It's great. The service is fast, the space is not too crowded, and the staff is friendlier than at other places I've bought my lunch.

  5. I was pleasantly surprised by this place. I expected everything to be overpriced and/or low quality in a huge tourist area but this had good food at a reasonable price. I ordered the chicken pesto panini for under $8, and it was delicious! There's a large variety of hot sandwiches and a salad bar as well. On top of that the staff was very friendly. I would highly recommend if you want a quick bite at a good price.

  6. Luckily got a chance to grab some breakfast from here on the last day I was working in midtown; I wish I would have walked in sooner, seeing I passed it every morning and afternoon.
    I ordered my Turkey Sausage w/Egg Whites and Cheese on an English Muffin and it was good! It could've been the flavor or it could've been the fact that the prices are damn near half that of Teresa's, located down the block. The coffee was on point and I grabbed some fruit that were well-prepped and fresh.
    Next time I have a midtown assignment, they'll be my morning routine,for sure.

  7. I come here for breakfast when I am starving in the mornings (usually because I went out for drinks the night before) before going to work – I usually get the #1 or #2 (sausage/bacon, egg & cheese on a roll or an English muffin) for $2.99.  The quality of the food isn't the greatest, but it's still a cheap place to get breakfast on the go.  The second time I ordered a sausage, egg & cheese on a roll, and they gave me bacon.  I didn't fuss much over it because who doesn't like bacon?!

  8. I had high hopes then for this place – been striking out with lunch spots in the area!  

    I would really love to support a smaller, more mom-and-pop deli  that Simply Food resembles.   It doesn't look like an institution or midtown lunch chain that will over-charge you for mediocre paninis and salad.

    Unfortunately that's exactly what it does.  $7.50 for a wrap may seem standard for this area.  But the wraps here are particularly small, with clearly inferior ingredients.  They offer a combo deal of $7.99 plus tax, for a drink and Lay's chips.  That's a pretty good deal if you like to buy a drink with your lunch.  Otherwise, it's clear that they've overpriced the individual wrap so you're inclined to order the combo.

    Besides the pricing, which isn't out of range, the food just isn't that good.  The turkey avocado wrap, though I asked for it to be heated, was barely lukewarm when I got it.  The turkey was the low quality, high sodium kind, cut into small cubes in the wrap.  You're much better off walking to Toasties – yes the sandwiches are around $9 each, but it's so much better.  

    Their behemoth neighbor, City 75, actual offers a better deal on salads and breakfast wraps.  

    I would much prefer to support Simply Food, but when the food is tastier and actually less expensive from City 75, I can't justify it.
