Lenny’s Sub Shop

Service and food quality has gone downhill since it opened. Jersey Mikes is much better and much more consistent with their quality and products.

Last 3 times there the service was terrible. Young kids either goofing off or on phone texting. when you walk up to counter thry sigh or roll their eyes… like omg i have to actually do something now… they can’t get an order right. I have to go in and personally give them my order because they for some reason dont read the entire order fron online ordering. even then it’s hit and miss. The last time I was there I ordered an Italian which I always do. It was the most god awful fattiest ham I ever had from any deli or subshop. Big turnoff. My dog wouldn’t even eat it. It was gross. Between the ham and the terrible service you have just lost a good customer. improve management and quality of the meats and maybe I will come back. doubtful though!

the bread was hard, the doritos where outdated by a year, and they got my order wrong. very disappointing will be eating at jersey mikes for now on.

Best sandwiches in the University Area! Had the Buffalo Chicken Sub today and my daughter had the Philly Cheese Steak and they were juicy, hot and delicious! I love their cold sandwiches Lenny’s style w hot relish also! And the bread is always soft and yummy.

Good bread. Great flavors, just expensive for what it is. Chips are decent. And people… they have Pibb!
I’ve gotten the turkey and provolone sandwich before and it was pretty good. Good amount of meat/​toppings.
Today however I got the Philly cheesesteak. The flavor was great, on the parts I could taste. There was such a small amount of chicken, and for 8 bucks with a combo-​I was not a happy camper.
See posted pics.

I really love the subs here, the Italian the buffalo chicken philly are my favorites. The ingredients are always fresh and they slice the meat right before they make the sandwich. Sometimes they skimp on the portions for the buffalo chicken philly, it just depends who is making it. The prices are pretty decent especially for what you get. The service is alright and overall staff is friendly and efficient, again it depends on who you have serving you that day. But I’ve never had a bad experience and they food is definitely good enough to keep me coming back. Much better than subway.

Yum. This place is awesome. Go Tuesdays for their 2 can dine for 11.99 special. Two subs, 2 drinks, and 2 bags of chips. The cold subs are ready fast. The hot subs take a while but are worth the wait.

One of the first sub shops I visited since moving to Charlotte. Food was great, and the prices were decent, actually got a free cookie. That was CLUTCH lol.

I always get tbe philly with pepper relish, really good! This location overall has a friendly staff, last two times I went sandwhich maker was great and cashier couldnt even smile. Maybe a bad day, you have the option to make any sub the «lennys way» which is oil, vinegar, mayo, salt, pepper, lettuce, & tomato.
I called last night (Saturday 4−26−14) wanted my favorite philly! But they lost my business due to having no sub rolls!?? I had to call jersey mikes instead…

The food was fine and the service is friendly, if not the most efficient. Not a place I would go out of my way for a return visit, but wouldn’t rule it out if someone else suggested it.

This is my new go to sub shop. The location is clean and bright and it’s in a really good location. In my opinion Lenny’s has better subs than all of the other chains, one of the most important things that I have to mention is the meat and toppings that you’re given. When you order a sub for Lenny’s prepare to be dazzled as they begin to freshly slice large quantities of meat and cheese for you.
You’ll be given a huge amount of meat on your sub and the meat and cheese are of good quality and are fresh. The bread also appears to be freshly baked and makes for a really nice sub. I’ve never been able to eat one sub in a single sitting since they’re so big.
If you’re a fan of meat and cheese, I recommend that you give Lenny’s a try.

Nice, safe, location. Clean restaurant. Great tasting subs and cheesesteaks.

Not really anything special, service was terrible, order was wrong and staff was not helpful at all.

Lenny’s is turning into my «go-​to» sub shop — just overall good stuff, the guys running the shop are funny and seem to be happy to be making sammiches — they might be mentally ill in that regard.
It’s a sub shop — no sub shop gets a perfect score. But Jarod better take his skinny arse to Lenny’s for a real sammich!

Decent bread and fresh fixings and the staff has been very friendly on my visits. I would probably rate Lenny’s higher overall but the meat is an issue. First, there is just not enough on it when you get a deli sub. Not sure about the cheesesteaks as I’ve not tried them but, they are pretty skimpy on the portions vs. a place like Jersey Mike’s. My other comment on the meat is that the turkey they use is just a weird consistency. Kind of mushy and watery. Hard to describe really but, it just has an odd feel as you chew.
All that said, and still an A-​OK review? Yes. If given the choice between Lenny’s and Subway 10 times. I’m choosing Lenny’s…

Man these are some good subs. Im a big fan of getting your meat sliced right onto your sandwich. They load it up right and have all the good fixens. I always get the club with oil and vinegar which comes with roast beef, turkey, and bacon lettuce tom. and onions. One of the better sub chains.

The relish is addictive. Oh my effin’ heaven — I can’t stop thinking about it.
Yeh, it’s that good. Not terribly long ago, I was out of town and took a nap on my way home — and had a dream about Lenny’s hot pepper relish sauce. I’m not even kidding — it’s that good. Additionally, their «regular» is the same as another chain’s «large» — so you get incredible value for what you are spending. It might be a $ 10 sub, but it’s worth every penny.
Yeh. I’ll take the 20 minute drive to get a Lenny’s sub. Yum!

Twice I have left Lenny’s completely pissed. The service is terrible. No one cared either time that I was in the store. They waited 30 minutes until I paid for my call in to go order to even start making it. When I asked for a manager I was told to come back in 5 days when he got back. Unbelievably unprofessional. The chain down the road can make a comparable product in 30 seconds. If you want to wait all day and be treated like crap for a so so sandwich go for it.

This location specifically made me a fan of Lenny’s. I’d often stop in here before grocery shopping across the plaza to quench the munchies, shopping with the munchies is never a good idea.
Service is always prompt, while still being very personable. I got into several interesting conversations the employees. Always love random conversation.
The meat is sliced to order. (not sitting between paper, pre-​sliced, a la other sandwich shops) Bread is baked fresh. Couldn’t ask for more from a sandwich shop, other than slightly lower prices. But then again, if prices get cut quality often gets cut along with it. I’ll take a good cold cut sandwich any day when I can watch my meat get sliced and make a new friend.

I really like Lenny’s. They’re such a nice escape from all the other chain sub restaurants, ESPECIALLY Subway, which I’m growing to detest. This one recently went thru an ownership change but the staff is just as friendly as the original, so no worries there (or w/​the quality of food).
When you first order a «regular» sub & see the bread they whip out you think, «wow, that’s nothing special» (in comparison to other places)…but that’s before they start PILING on the meat and toppings! The good folks at Lenny’s do NOT skimp on those. That underwhelming bread loaf very quickly becomes a heaping mass of goodness that will quench most any appetite. I took my dad here once & he scoffed at the beginnings of his ‘samich until he saw the finished product… and could barely finish it (and he can pack away some food!).
Just came home with a regular turkey on wheat (and they have excellent wheat bread btw), and it was only $ 6.94 w/​tax. For only about $ 1.50 or $ 2 more you can make it a meal — but I’m TRYING to be healthy so I opted for water at home (insert grimace here cuz they have really good sweet tea). Basically the same thing you’d pay at Subway for miniscule toppings on a 6″ sandwich.
Lenny’s reg sub is 7.5″ and twice the size of Subway toppings-​wise, and their large is twice that at FIFTEEN inches! They also have a good selection of salads, as well as hot subs like Philly Cheesesteaks. Oh, and they also have these «grilled footlong hot dogs,» BUT BEWARE — they aren’t your ordinary hot dogs, they’re more like these ENORMOUS sausages & they’re rather oily/greasy…not for the faint of heart (and the reason they’re like five/​six bucks or something like that).
So, in short, if you’re in the area of this or any of the other Lenny’s, give’em a shot — you’re sure to be in for a treat. And you’ll certainly be full when you leave!
