I love the service here and the subs are always worth it.

Great place to get a sandwich. I really enjoyed the bread. :)

Overall I loved their salads with additional chicken, very much worth the price. However, they mixed up my order (the paper bag said teriyaki but I wasn't given teriyaki chicken) and only provided one set of utensils for two people.

The subs are some of the best in Boston- a lot of choices on the menu- and they’re really quick with getting your order ready. Plus the subs are massive and not too expensive-Would highly recommend checking this place out! Also ordering online is definitely the way to go if you can.

I frequent pretty often for lunch and there’s only one issue that I have with them. I don’t want to feel like I’m doing something illegal or “weird” when I add pesto to my tuna. I get it it might be out of the ordinary but it taste good.
Good sandwiches and salads. Hard to find another spot in the area that beats the prices, service and quality.
I’ll let y’all be the judge; Small Tuna w/ lettuce tomato and onions (balsamic vinaigrette and Pesto)

Food is good. Pastrami sandwich. Small is pretty large but also expensive at $12. Counter attendant is little hostile.

Best chicken salad in the city. Came here a few weeks ago after the lunch rush and the credit card machine broke for about 45mins. Didn’t have cash so had to run across to CVS in South Station. Otherwise they’re friendly and fast.

Expect the speed of Subway, the authenticity of street food, and deliciousness of a 5 star restaurant. These people are sandwich gods, they don’t have time for small talk or overly excessive politeness they’re too busy curating perfection between buns.

I order from Al's for a staff lunch, and its hard to know where to begin. The staff were all so kind, responsive, professional and easy to work with. The food was amazing. We were trying to accommodate numerous food restrictions, and we were able to easily find delicious options on the menu. They were also very generous in their serving sizes. We went with the smaller of the 2 sandwich options and staff were splitting them in half, and saving more for later! My favorite part was the bread, oh my goodness! It was so delicious I ended up emailing the staff after the event asking about their bread. It turns out they bake it fresh , in their store: YOU CAN TELL. It was amazing, and the fresh ingredients generously proportioned made it a perfect lunch. If I lived in Boston I would be there weekly for lunch! This place is a must-eat!!!
