Take it or leave it… Fresh enough but not amazing… Feels like a convenience store inside instead of deli. Service is a bit rude.
Overpriced in my opinion.
This is a great deli and the beer selection rock. Many craft beer to buy for your train ride. Small and big bottles. Cheers!!
Yep — this is a great spot to grab a sandwich and drink before boarding your train to "wherever".
I personally am a fan of the Chicken Salad with BLT on whole grain, but the selection is fantastic. My co-worker grabbed prosciutto and arugula on a baguette which looked yummy,
Fantastic selection of drinks and chips.
Fresh tasting – fast and was better than the club car food.
Check it out!
PS great staff too – friendly and helpful!
The pizza here was delicious. There are a lot of choices offered. I got sausage, pepperoni, and sautéed onion. The sausage is crumbled style. My slice was $3.75 but it's a really large slice. It's very, very busy and the staff are… typical for New York. They sort of yell at you to rush you through the line for the next person. I appreciate that it makes the line go more quickly though. I'd definitely come back again though.
Every day there is a sandwich special and it's something basic like turkey and cheddar or muenster or tuna (not turkey and tuna, just tuna by itself, duh!). The special sandwich costs $7 and it comes with any kind of chips they sell or an 8 ounce container of potato salad, macaroni salad or cole slaw. This is why you go to Don Pepi: for that deal.
The sandwiches are nothing special but in the area there are plenty of much crappier $7 sandwiches to be had. And those don't come with chips or a side.
Oh and they do take credit cards now.
Small very unassuming deli near the AMTRAK in Penn Station.
Went for breakfast and it had a decent size line but moved VERY fast. You order, head to the register, and by the time you pay you already have your meal ready.
They have a small menu for ideas but most people just come up with their own orders/fillings/combos.
BREAKFAST:
I got a breakfast wrap with 3 eggs, pepper jack cheese, sausage, bacon – came out to $6.55.
Bacon was definitely better than most other places, thicker slices. Sausage was pretty generic, eggs were cooked well. The tortilla was your basic flour type.
SUBS:
Went again and got an italian hero – came out to almost $10 after tax
The size was good – your regular 10ish inch sub size. Bread was fresh and there was a decent amount of meat and cheese on it, stacked about 1/4 inches high.
Was it the best hero ever? no, but it was pretty good if you're into Italian subs.
Service is top notch
All credit cards accepted with NO minimum.
Amazing bacon edge and cheese sandwiches. My go-to at Penn Station when I don't have a lot of time. They are fast and pleasant to interact with. The small coffee is only 10 oz, part of a trend in the coffee world that I do not like. Dunkin Donuts does the same. And their default is to load it up with sugar. But they were responsive when I asked for them to dump a bit of it out and add more coffee.
Came here this morning before getting on an amtrak train. I ordered 2 eggs over medium with wheat toast, came with a small coffee for $3!! Can't get any better pricing.
The eggs were great, cooked perfectly! The people that work there are very friendly and peppy.
Did not wait long.
I gave 4 stars because the coffee was ehh.
