This place is a master at pumping people through the line . If you're in the hot line , order your food and move to the back of the room. They'll call your number when it's ready.
Amazing subs . When they ask you if you want the large one, you really need to be starving or else you'll keep it for dinner
Chicken Salad ...lettuce, tomato , black pepper...delicious! Always my go to quick lunch when in Boston!
Italian sub is to die for. Fresh meats and a killer balsamic
Al's brown bag lunch : Get the chicken salad with everything. I crave it on the regular now!
The small size sub would be considered a large in a lot of other spots. It's gigantic.
Can't beat this bread . Fresh, soft and chewy. Best subs in town
If you're in a hurry, get a cold sub . That line moves insanely fast.
Get the South Street Special - prosciutto , mozzarella , tomato , basil , EVOO , and balsamic
Don't be discouraged by the lines !! They crank through it! And it's worth the wait.
Awesome subs , don't fret about the lines , they move super fast. Keep to the left for hot subs !
Confusing ordering setup but my sandwich was delicious and giant.
Got a free sub because I waited longer than I should. Amazing service and great food
Vegetarian hot sub is solid pick.
Huge subs (large = three meals for me!) and quick service means yes, I can get fed 15 minutes before having to be in a meeting. Hooray for Al's!
Cold sandwich line is faster. Use LevelUp for even faster checkout.
Eggplant parm / roast beef sub
Small chicken Parm is bomb ... Large subs are 3 meals.
Daniel the clerk there had a problem taking my order saying she would have to check with the cook b4 placing my order. She finally rudely takes my order with attitude all over her face
Get the Chicken Salad with extra hots...it's worth it.
Chicken Salad Sub !
Best subs in Boston
No need to get a large, the small is hefty.
Absolutely addicted to the chicken BBQ with provolone and pickles right now.
A small sub is about a foot long. Portions are huge!
They switched from Coke products to PEPSI products recently.
The italian
Super packed and hectic at lunchtime
6.75 for small sub chips and soda and they're FAST
For some reason hot sandwiches have no line if you come in around 11:45. Chicken Pesto fills you up.
Ring the bell for order #69!!! OLE!!
The eggplant parm is dope.
Corn beef , Swiss, and spicy mustard .
Avoid the first guy in line . He's a bit creepy.
South st cafe chicken is perfect
I stick to the Classic.
Steak and Cheese is the best in Boston.
Listen for the staff cheers when they call #69
Roast Beef their way. You won't be disappointed.
Best chicken salad in Boston.
While the only soup they serve regularly is Italian Wedding, it is flavourful.
Best chicken salad in town !
chik salad !
Wait til after 1pm for the lunch rush to pass
Ska the chaotic deli
Nice Italian style sandwiches. Can’t go wrong with chicken pesto with fresh mozzarella and roast red pepper on ciabatta - Melissa Chai
Beef sandwich with fresh bread, green beans, and light guacamole is the bomb. The baked sweet potatoes with a light dipping sauce was also worth it. Unfortunately they don't serve empanadas here. - Merlin Calo
Everything you're looking for in a respectable lunch spot: fast, cheap, and tasty. - Hal Mackins
