Penn Station East Coast Subs (Clifton)

208 W McMillan St, Cincinnati, OH

The Cincinnati-born grilled-sub chain's store on West McMillan, a block from the University of Cincinnati, known for cheesesteaks, fresh-cut fries and hand-squeezed lemonade. Bengals safety Bryan Cook, a Cincinnati native who played for UC, calls it his favorite campus eatery; in 2026 he picked up a Penn Station pizza sub and fries while touring the neighborhoods he grew up in.
