Penn Station East Coast Subs

Penn Station has developed a unique product line that demonstrates, in full customer view, the true quality of our products. Our menu features an array of mouth-watering grilled submarine sandwiches, fresh-cut fries, and hand-squeezed lemonade. All sandwiches are prepared fresh in full view of the customer using delicious heart-baked bread, USDA steak, and the finest meats, cheeses, and vegetables. The potatoes are hand-selected, fresh-cut, and flash-fried in cholesterol-free peanut oil. The lemonade is made from scratch every day using hand-squeezed lemons.

Penn Station’s origins can be traced back to Jeff Osterfeld’s first venture in 1983 as owner/operator of “Jeffrey’s Delicatessen” in the Dayton Mall in Dayton, Ohio. Jeff took his innovative ideas on quick service dining to downtown Cincinnati where he opened his first Penn Station® Restaurant in 1985. The original menu had four sandwiches and featured grilled cheesesteak, fresh-cut french fries, and hand-squeezed lemonade, with the order prepared directly in front of the customers using the freshest ingredients available. In 1988, Jeff’s vision for an upscale, quick-service dining experience revolving around “fresh ingredients and display cooking” was formulated into a franchising concept. This began the evolution into what is now an extraordinarily successful concept that has grown to over 310 restaurants throughout 15 states.
