I love this place. The sliced steak sandwich is amazing. The fried chicken is a pretty good deal too.

I’ve been eating semi-healthy lately and the greek salad with grilled chicken is a good deal and massively popular.

My favorite is the Roman though.

i love homefront – i’ve been going there for 3 years now – both Jimmy and the lady w/ the baseball cap are amazing – they have incredible memories. the food is fresh and hot and cheap. i’m gonna miss the place when my office moves.
fridays – they have a fish special – fried fish, scallops and shrimp w/ fries – it gets a bit crazy around lent.

This is why I love this blog. Just when I think I’ve covered all the ground Midtown has to offer, Zach drops a new pearl of wisdom.

Never heard of this place before – ran over there for a late lunch. Got the grilled chicken hero with grilled onions, provolone and sport peppers. Most midtown delis don’t have sport peppers so it’s nice to have that option – good lookin out “Zap.” Also got onion rings.

The sandwich is huge with two large chicken breasts. I’m so stuffed I feel like I ate a whale that had just eaten a smaller whale (this is a GOOD thing). Also, their onion rings tasted exactly like Burger King onion rings, which I thing is a plus, but others can disagree.

All in all, a huge amount of food for a very fair price. “I’ll be back.”

Seconding the breakfast ’system’

Amazingly, the counter man here (Jimmy I think) knows about 40% of the breakfast crowd by name and order.

After I ordered the same thing about 3 times he started to know me, so I had to start changing my order….

Zach, Glad you finally made it HomeFront, except now, it’ll be en MORE crowded!

Their “Roman” sandwich is killer too. Basically it’s an Italian hero with the works including hot peppers. The thing is SO big you will for sure be filled up, and it’s like $5.95!

I love their chicken sandwich platter — ask for hot sauce and it’s heavenly. Best part (if I recall correctly) is that it comes in under $5!

The Greek Salad with grilled chicken is fantastic at home front — full breasts of hot grilled chicken piled onto a feta covered greens…and for $6.50 – can’t be beat

Cash only here so be ready
