I don't get it, whyyy do I subject myself to Lenny's at 30 Rockefeller? Oh, I remember now. Being a Midwest girl, a grew up loving Jimmy John's and I crave a good sandwich. Lenny's is not that place, but every once in awhile I give Lenny's another shot and every time I am disappointed yet again.
Service: What a clusterf***. Who puts an order line and pay line right at the doorway? Oh I know, a smart marketing plan that says "hey, there are a lot of people here so come in too!" All it does is cause congestion right at the doorway. Then, when people are waiting around, they crowd the chips & drinks & other people.
Food: The breaded cutlet sandwiches just don't do it for me. There is too much bread, and the "hot" sandwiches aren't actually hot. I would say the middle of the sandwich is good but ends don't have lettuce, chicken, or buffalo sauce. I can only hope the cold sandwiches are better.
Overall: Go to Potbelly's on the other side of the floor. Still just as busy, but at least it is organized and has hot/toasted sandwiches.
Surprise surprise. Walk by here all the time, but under extreme 1300+ review yelp pressure, I needed to find something new.
Although from the outside you might guess it's all deli meat type sandwiches, there is *ONE* on the All-Time Favorites list, #11 that is friendly to herbivores.
That fine creation is stuffed with avocado, lettuce, carrot, cucumber, sprouts, tomato, cabbage and a bit of honey mustard all sandwiched between a couple slices of 7-grain. A very nice quick snack when you're in a rush and looking for a little bit of tummy relief.
This is madness – and this is Lenny's. Lenny's is a local sandwich chain with fresh quality ingredients, a huge range of options, and speedy brusque service. This location is pretty small so the process can be nightmarish for those uninitiated to the Midtown Lunch Rush. The ordering counter is in the back center, while you pay in the front left. Then you have this hoarde of waiting caffiene addicts impatiently lurking around the place for their number to be called (assuming you can hear it) before bolting up to the counter as if they were stalking gazelle.
Compared to other options in the area, Lenny's is a good sandwich at an okay price point. The convenience of being the the Rock Center concourse is the biggest selling point, as long as you come early or like body surfing. At least you get big portions?
As usual, this place is packed during lunch hours but they have a fair decent selection of sandwiches from heros to wraps. However, I do have to say the menu is a bit hard to read because there's so much to choose from. Either way, their sandwiches are better than your average deli or Subway sandwiches. I ordered a chicken salad spinach wrap and they overloaded it with lots of chicken, lettuce and bacon (!!). Nonetheless, it was a bit pricey for a wrap ($9.00).
Lenny's is like a used 8 year old Honda Accord of lunchtime options.
– It's pretty dependable. You know what you're going to get. – it's not terribly expensive – it won't wow you
The main knock is that this location is pretty hectic given its small size + large amount of workers flocking here at lunch. It moves pretty quickly, but expect a bit of a wait if the weather outside is cold/rainy.
3 stars. Definitely try the meatball sandwich – the basil is a nice touch.
