Also the place was fairly clean, although I had to use their napkins to brush off a table, and the staff was very nice to me. They seem to be popular, so YMMV. To their credit, everything is made to order and comes out steaming hot. The nutrition calculator I linked to just reverts to the home calculator instead of my custom sandwich info, but if you eat at Penn Station and want to know the nutritional composition of your food, you're gonna need this calculator that Jeff Kayser generously cooked up for us, because in complying with the letter of the law, Penn Station does nothing to unveil their nutrition stats to people not willing to do a lot of semi-complicated and unwarranted math. At $5.09 plus tax for this small sandwich with only 431 calories and 27 grams of protein, I probably won't be back even though I also have coupons for free small fries and lemonade with purchase of 6" or larger sub and one for small fries only no additional purchase required. There were, but they were all down their on their lonesome at the other end that had no meat. Also even though the the sandwich was only a six inch, I started at the cut end and thought there were no mushrooms on it. As predicted, pickled banana peppers have no place on my Philly cheese steak, although I like them on a cold Italian sub. The bread isn't bad, but I can buy better 10" sub buns across the street at Harris Teeter grocery at 2 for $1. It does help that the bun is only 2"/61 cm wide. Their twelve-incher only has 5 oz of meat. The photos they post of overstuffed sandwiches are lies, as is becoming more of a norm these days. By their own admission on their website, the 6" I had contains only 2-1/2 oz/71 grams of meat. I found the portion for the price quite skimpy. I thought the last two ingredients were weird on a Philly cheese steak, but decided to leave the banana peppers on because I could see no option for the more common grilled bell peppers. It comes standard with grilled to order steak, onions, mushrooms, provolone, pickled banana peppers and pizza sauce. I chose a Philly cheese steak, which is their signature sandwich. These were cut pretty thinly, so I think that probably helped them out with the single fry technique. The fries were good, made to order and skin on, but probably not double fried, although I've had much soggier and limper examples. Today I tried them out when they sent me a coupon for a "Your first one's on us" free 6" sub.
