The sandwich shop is one of several that recently opened in the lower Manhattan area.
The restaurant offers a variety of breakfast and lunch items such as sandwiches and salads. The prices are in par with other similar speciality sandwich shops.
The sandwich I ordered (turkey breast with stuffing, cranberry and gravy) was warmed and very good.
I would make a return visit to this sandwich shop and try their other variety of sandwiches.
We were hanging around downtown so we decided to try Lenny's. The menu was quite extensive but a bit difficult to understand. There are a lot of combinations you can go for. I chose chicken sandwich on plain toasted bread. I was pleasantly surprised with my food. Perfectly toasted bread and excellent succulent chicken with a good level of spice. It was well worth a try. I would go again.
So I only wanted to try this place out because if you sign up for the app (which forget I even mentioned it because this app won't be available anymore) then you get a $7 credit. Since the app is being cancelled, my credit it would have expired so I decided to give this place a shot!
I wanted a simple grilled sandwich, but when I said turkey and bacon, I realized I did not enunciate properly – and the lady heard me say turkey bacon. So I got just that, turkey bacon. The sandwich definitely needed some more meat in there, the turkey bacon was really hard to chew. The bread was really good, and I the only other items I got in my sandwich were brie and spinach – all good there as well. When I went to pick up my order, the lady told me they charged me an extra $1 (I only had a $7 credit but my sandwich was $8.17 so I did have to pay something)…..so they said they would just give me a refund via the app. I have yet to see that refund btw!
I had a deposition to attend on Broad Street and after it I was famished. I walked north to Lenny's and decided to try a sandwich. I had the pastrami sandwich on rye bread. It was delicious, with cole slaw in the center of two thick layers of pastrami. Service was very quick, there was a public restroom, and the seating area was clean and spacious. For a quick lunch, this beats a national chain fast food place by miles. I will go again if I'm back to Wall Street for work.
Still a secret since they are new. Very quiet on the weekends. Good prompt service. I especially like how they label their sandwhiches so you know which one is which without having to open it. Decent bagels (a bit small compared to Leo's) but definitely a much calmer atmosphere. Additional plus for having nice seating.
My only complaint is that this location replaced Fresco which had the best breakfast sandwhiches.
I really like the Cobb salad here. If you make your own salad and put the exact ingredients as what are in the Cobb salad, your bill will be much higher which means that the toppings are overpriced. This place is at the bottom of my list for building my own salad. This place is crowded during lunch time with Lenny's sandwich lovers. The service is quick though.
I am surprised by the reviews, though I only had a salad so maybe their other food isn't good. I was contemplating making my own salad, but ended up getting the greek salad and adding some chicken. The chicken was surprisingly good and the ingredients in my salad were pretty fresh. Instead of the normal greek salad dressing, I had the low-fat caesar dressing which was just okay but obviously I wasn't expecting it to be like a regular casear dressing. It gets a bit pricey since they charge for all ingredients besides the lettuce/salad base, red onions, and cabbage. Given the prices and nearby competition,I would normally give them 3 stars (really a 3.5 star place from what I tried), but I am rounding up given the overwhelmingly low reviews. Food can take a little long to come out, so I would recommend sticking to salads. Not a bad option and I would definitely come back for another salad.
The breakfast sandwich was tasty and filling and killed my hangover. What makes this cavernous place a two star is the employees. Cashier incapable of answering a single question which appeared to be decided by committee. I ordered sandwich and hash browns. The girl hands me the bag and says have a nice day which would be good but I had no breakfast sandwich. Then another committee meeting ensured to solve this intractable dilemma. The only reason I would come back here rather than a cart is they have actual pork bacon and sausage and not that faux sausage turkey served on halal carts. Seriously incompetence here needs to be rectified. Also why is the place so huge it is never filled when I come in. I may try again but I think I will regret it. Not as good as other Lenwiches I have been to.
