Description [edit me!]

Lyn's offers friendly service and healthy portion sizes. The Chicken Salad is only marginally smaller than that other place famous for Greek salad and yet significantly cheaper. Despite a relatively short stay on campus, its reputation has spread - the long lines at lunch time are often crowded by hospital employees 3 blocks away. -MY

Owners of the truck are very friendly, and prices are pretty low. I hear they had excellent breakfast sandwiches and after going, I have to agree. Prices were really low, and the rolls were pretty big. -Abhi

This truck is one of the few with a proprietor who is always smiling. Highly recommended. Strict vegetarians beware, the marinara sauce all comes from the same vat as the meatballs even if you order a veggie dish. -AG

Probably one of my favorite trucks on campus. Breakfast sandwiches are delicious, cheap and massive. Cheesesteaks are also some of the best around, and the grilled chicken pitas/sandwiches are amazing, mostly because of their special honey mustard sauce. I don't even generally like honey mustard, but it's fantastic. -Ben Franklin

Lyn's eggplant parm is sooo good. Their daughter went to Penn, so they know how to cater to Penn students. -Ben Franklin

Lyn's is popular for a reason. -Very low prices for breakfast sandwiches. Buis is great, but these are cheaper and around the same size. - Service is super friendly -Service is fast, even considering the large lunchtime crowd -AL

This is my go-to truck. The grilled chicken special on a long roll is delicious - get it with a mix of honey mustard and mayo. I'm not a fan of their tuna, and they don't carry kaiser rolls... but no other complaints. Totally worth the wait! -greektome

I love Lyn's! I tried all the other sandwich carts on Spruce and Lyn's consistently had better quality, better portion size, and simply the best overall value. Nothing special, nothing fancy, just delicious cheesesteaks, eggplant parm, breakfast sandwiches, et cetera. I've never had a bad or even mildly disappointing meal there. Try the cheesesteak with hot sauce (Sriracha) and mayonnaise "on the bun." -Grad Student

You will not find a better breakfast sandwich on campus. You get a big portion for a great price, the food is consistently perfect, and if you don't have a crush on Linh after a few days there's something wrong with you. -Brian

Big sandwiches, low prices. Very friendly, free pretzel if you are one of the last people of the day (and they have some left over) -Mr. Photoshop
