The Decision
"It's Lenny's! The inch-thick sandwich wins extra points for its melt-in-your-mouth beef and easy-on-your-wallet price."
"Honey was craving a sandwich and suggested Subway,,,NOT..so we tried Lenny's. He ordered the Corned Beef with onions on wheat and the sandwich was as heavy as a brick. I ordered a chicken salad with honey mustard, lettuce tomato and american cheese, and it was huge. The sandwiches came with pickles, then we went to what they call the dark side, ie the BAKERY. My paramour ordered a chocolate danish and it was delicious. The chocolate topping was like a thick fudge and it was fabulous..more like desert than a breakfast pastry. I ordered the applee beatty croissant and it did not look as large as it actually was until we got home and I pulled it out of the bag..it was like a brick, and it took the both of us to eat it....divine."Nicole H. | yelp
"So I got a Corned beef, coleslaw and Russian dressing sandwich on rye - toasted (of course) and OH ... MY ... G**!!!!"Darren A. | yelp.com
"The pastrami and Swiss on rye is a solid build, with tender, peppery meat, thinly sliced and thickly stacked. You can guide the creation of these sandwiches, and we specified Swiss as the cheese choice. Lenny's delivered its melted glory in abundance. Along with the rye bread, this was a well-balanced and filling sandwich."The Baltimore Sun
"Lenny's is a true New York-style deli. It's not cheap, but in this case, you get what you pay for - high quality, good-sized portions.
Their rueben is my go-to sandwich for lunch.
The staff is very friendly, and seems to have very little turnover. It's the same group of folks working practically every time I come here."Lauren B. | yelp.com
"Lenny's is one of the best places to grab lunch here in Owings Mills! Even during the lunch rush, the service is still fast and friendly! There are so many good things on their menu, but the fried chicken is my favorite - crispy on the outside and tender and juicy on the inside. The sides come in generous portions too! Their western fries are huge!"Bobbie D. | urbanspoon.com
