Review from Jennifer S.
Manhattan, NYIf you don't love Lenny's you're crazy and I have nothing bad to say about this location. They're quick on making your food item and delivery whether you order on the phone or seamless. I always get the Emma with diet snapple and a cookie and I'm a happy gal! :) -
Review from Jessica M.
Hoboken, NJInedible! We ordered lunch for a crew of 12 people from this restaurant. Everyone got something different and each of them, without exception, were very disappointed with their food. The salads were stale and tasted like the inside of a refrigerator drawer. The wraps were dry and they skimped on ingredients. Most of us opted to throw away our meal, because it was too disgusting to finish. Absolutely horrible for a restaurant to try to pass this off as food! -

Review from Elle M.
Brooklyn, NYLOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LENNY'S!
I probably order lunch from them once/twice a week. They use ingredients with really great quality and I have to say I'm never disappointed. (Except when they send the wrong sandwich, which has happened to me once in 2 years!)
Today I ordered a PB&J with bananas on 7 grain, I feel like a kid in kindergarten all over again. -
Review from Mike B.
Lenny's is a decent place to get breakfast. nothing spectacular, but solid overall.
a ham/egg/cheese on whole wheat bagel and large hazelnut coffee was good fuel before making a day out of the AMNH/Planetarium. neither were the best I've had, but good enough.
the ordering/paying/waiting system is kinda disjointed. order from one person, at a register. then move back and to the side to another register, adjacent to the previous one, to pay. then wait for your food. I feel the process could be more efficient.
not a destination, but if in need of a (relatively) quick meal...yeah, it'll do. -
Review from Connor P.
New York, NYTheir salads really aren't that good. It's also usually pretty packed. I prefer Hale & Hearty or Just Salad. -
Review from Andrea S.
Manhattan, NYLenny's is consistently good quality, bur pretty pricey given its just deli meat and veggies. I stick to their wraps, and the ingredients are always fresh. I'm a fan of ordering an egg white wrap, which always is fluffy and meets expectations.
The cashiers on the other hand tend to test my patience. If I'm standing back, pondering the menu, then don't keep barking at me "Good morning, are you ready to order?" Seriously...I'll let you know when I'm ready to order. -
Review from Phil H.
When you've been to one Lenny's you have pretty much been to them all. It's just a solid place to grab a sandwich no frills attached.
They have an extensive list of sandwich favorites to choose from, and you can also build your own. Yes, it is a NYC chain sandwich shop, a little better then Subway and a few others, but nothing super amazing either. Just a good spot if you are craving a decent sandwich or wrap.
It's also a good place for a guy like me that is dieting and trying to watch the fat and calorie content. Since it's close to home I have dropped in here a few times on weekends for lunch. With more than enough healthy options to choose from there is no problem building a healthy meal. Grilled chicken sandwich on toasted 7-grain bread with lettuce, tomato, pickles, and deli mustard along with a diet soda. I love deli mustard, which helps a pretty boring sandwich become tolerable. Pretty easy to make a sandwich the way you want it here. This location is clean and the counter staff is quick too, along with outside seating which is a must on a nice day.
I do loved grilled chicken, but boy am I getting tired of it! -
Review from Npr M.
Portland, ORAfter reading the reviews online, I went to Lenny's for brunch because it was the closest to my rental condo on my NYC trip. The staff was nice, service was fast, however my Mediterranean sandwich was a bit disappointment, I had better ones at Shari's in Portland, it reminded me of the burger place in Atlanta, all hyped and less flavor. -
Review from Caroline K.
New York, NYOmg, best sandwiches ever.
Like, really. We had a grilled chicken breast sandwich on a poppy seed roll with lettuce, tomato, and lite mayo. It was boring in text and phenomenal in taste. The grilled chicken was so fresh, and they shredded the lettuce just the way I like it. These guys also put their time and effort into wrapping these sandwiches and placing a rubber band around them so you can eat them intact. I can't rave on enough about it. What are you waiting for? -
Review from Joshua R.
Midtown West, Manhattan, NYOrdered delivery from the Lenny's yesterday with some of the guys at work and we were not impressed for what we payed for. I had a chicken cutlet sandwich which was soggy as it was cooked in the micro wave and all of over subs were cold dont no if I would order here again -
Review from Rebecca G.
Manhattan, NYI've been to a couple of other Lenny's and so far, this is my preferred location. Bright and clean, it offers both indoor and outdoor seating, along with their classic breakfast/lunch menu.
This time around I ordered the Novie- lox, cream cheese, tomato, and onion- on a plain bagel, and it was just what I wanted. Small enough to finish, everything was in proportion- and fresh.
On the other hand, the Classic Italian was on a roll that was so big that to eat any more than half of it would have seemed excessive. However, the bread looked fresh, and everything else was in proportion.
This is a great spot to grab a quick breakfast/lunch! -
Review from Shaina B.
Lenny's is great! When you walk in the place is very clean, everything is organized, and the food looks fresh! Prices are great too! You can get a small salad for around 3.75 and toppings are extra! While that may seem much, think about how many other places in NYC charge so much for a small salad. I got a pumpernickel bagel with lox spread for only $2.99 there! What also struck my eye was the fact that they had breakfast specials for $4.75 and it came with a lot!
If you are a couple or anyone in general that wants to have a casual breakfast or lunch go there!
YUM! YUM! -
Review from Scott B.
New York, NYOk, I've only ever ordered delivery from here, and I get the same thing every time, which is the Jimmy T sandwich with a side of macaroni and cheese.
The Jimmy T has chicken and cheese and sweet peppers, and I don't know why, but I crave one every day.
The macaroni and cheese tastes like pepper.
The POINT is, however, that last night they screwed up my order and instead of a Jimmy T, I had this monsterously heart-clogging sandwich with steak and bacon and steak sauce and melted cheese that was SO good I wanted to barf.
The moral of the story is just eat whatever is put in front of you. -
Review from Gretchen W.
New York, NYEvery summer I do what many Manhattanites dream of- joining a rooftop pool. Because of this, I hold Lenny's in a special place in my heart. It's my go to order in lunch at the pool place. They are quick and the food is usually fresh and made well.
However, I recently ordered in lunch to my apartment and was a bit underwhelmed with what I received. I ordered a "create your own salad" which is something I like to do. I ordered up all my ingredients and at the end was asked whether I wanted my salad chopped. Now, I am a huge fan of the chopped salad, but what was send to me was mushy, as though the salad was chopped together so much that you could barely distinguish between one ingredient from the other and the dressing had kinda made its way into everything, and turned it soggy.
In the future, I will think twice before having my salad chopped at Lenny's. What I do like about Lenny's is the very large sandwich menu full of interesting and different combinations of just about everything sandwich related. One that I find particularly good is the Jimmy T's (chicken cutlet with melted mozzarella cheese, grilled onion, sweet peppers and honey mustard). I also recommend honey turkey with Russian dressing, lettuce, tomato, and avocado. That's a pool lunch favorite.
There is a Lenny's on practically every corner, which I find sort of annoying in a strange way. I have no idea whether they are all the same in quality. All in all, a good place to pick up a quick sandwich or salad. -
Review from matthew h.
New York, NYLenny's, is it great? NO. Is it solid and dependable and a good sandwich? absolutely.
great chicken cutlets, grilled roast beef, italian combo etcetcetc.
You can do better, sure, but you could also do a hell of a lot worse.
I get delivery from them all the time, its fast and yummy enough when the basic sandwich urge hits
(tonight i ordered the grilled spicy chicken, but replaced the grilled chicken w/ a cutlet instead... hot and yummy)
