They were also super nice to show me the bathroom behind the register when I asked to wash my hands after. Food 5/5 -Super beef three way, generous amount of thinly sliced medium rare tender roast beef on a sturdy but soft onion roll smothered in saucy mayo, bbq sauce and melted American cheese(I think). Just the perfect sandwich for lunch, no sides needed only a crispy cold pepsi and some privacy. This sandwich is so worth the mess it comes with, you can't eat this neatly, it deserves the respect of a full head dive and attention. This is the only roast beef sandwich I have ever tried in New England but it had me looking around for shop merch, I will be thinking about this sandwich... Ambiance 5/5 -Bright and open corner shop space looking out to a semi commercial/residential area, good amount of seats in the establishment. I walked in to a room full of blue collar workers eating lunch here and something told me I was in the right place for a good sandwich.

My mom said this is the best burger she's had outside of Texas. The 3 way roast beef sandwich was…read moredelicious. I would absolutely go back there next time I'm in town. It comes in 3 sizes and I got the biggest one because it came on an onion bun. How could I say no to that? Look, I will prob be dreaming of this sandwich back home. Heck, I wish I had another one right now. I know y'all city slickers are used to places without restrooms, but it would have been nice to wash my hands after scarfing down this yummy albeit messy sandwich.

The interior gave me diner vibes - very laid back and comfortable. At 11:30 it was pretty much empty. It seems like most people get their food to go. Service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the Tofused Banh Mi - tofu, pickled veg, basil, cilantro, and a fried egg on a brioche bun. Definitely not a traditional banh mi but very tasty nonetheless! The teriyaki-like glaze was a little sweet for me and I would have preferred some more spice to balance it out but all in all I was very happy with my visit here and would definitely come back.

Someone came up looking for corned beef but there was less than a quarter of a pound left and he had marked it sold out. He was so nice and just gave her what he had left, gratis. I'd definitely come back here and have a bite when in town.

This is the most expensive Sub place in the area that I know of. 20 bucks a pop…read more I had never been here before but always seen it next to the pork bun place I frequent. I got the Steak Pizzaiola It was a bit dry tasting but had everything In it I ordered and was wider than other sandwiches I usually get, nice portion imo. Worth about 20? perhaps It was alright but not great. Maybe I should have chose something different. Upon Entering there was already a line two people before me. 1 waiting for food and the other waiting to order. The workers were busy making subs. and it took about 5 min before the 1st guy got his food, the 2nd guy ended up leaving ordering nothing. After he got his food I waited another 11 minutes just standing there, every so often an employee would look at me and one finally said they would be right with me. over 10 minutes is too long. I thought maybe they have a lot of online orders? Another person came in after me and during my wait period to order he ended up leaving as well after 7 minutes. I used to actually own a sub shop in Plymouth a few decades ago that got very busy. If there is a long line of people coming in, take the order right away so they can just wait for the food. people dont tend to wait so long as I did and you lose money. This will keep them there. One issue I had was one of the workers a female was sweating profusely while making the food. dripping from her forehead down her nose and hitting the table. Her shirt had sweat all on it. I got a different employee that made my food thankfully , but I keep thinking about this and dont want to go back, this is a food safety issue. Its disgusting to be honest. This was my first time going there and I am a local. I think the sub variety looks good on the board but it took way to long to get the food. after ordering it was another 10 minutes. so altogether around 27 or so minutes. Becketts right around the corner very fresh subs and only takes less than 5 to order and get the food out, they are also busy all the time but much more efficient and friendly. I wanted to like this place and am sure many do but its just not for me and I also dont want sweat in my food.

I added sausage and I was expecting the sausage balls that usually come with pizzas... but I got the sausage sliced! ... is this synonymous with fresh ingredients?! I think so! Also, the slices were just perfect for a personal pizza. The only reason I don't give it a 5 is because the pizza is quite filling/greasy, so I couldn't finish the full pizza...Nonetheless, perfect choice when that is exactly what you crave!

Why I'll go back: Super fresh, super delicious, and super fast subs…read moreYou HAVE to order: My go-to's are the meatball sub (haven't found one better) and the chicken salad (a unique flavor) Tony's Tip: When getting toppings, I ask them to put the tomatoes on the bread first so it stays on the sandwich easier. Also, I have them cut the subs into four pieces - easier to eat than two. Cannot believe I now live within a block of the two sandwich titans in Boston - Sam LaGrassa's and Al's Cafe. Al's School Street Cafe opened on Wednesday, Nov 12, and the line was 20 minutes long, stretching out the door and up to Old City Hall. It will calm down at some point, but just to be safe, I stopped in around 11:15 on Thursday to beat the crowd. It's a great space - larger than the South Street location and at least twice as large as State Street. Plus, there's decent seating in here, but also plenty of room for walk-ins to hang until their sandwich is ready. It's also very bright, and the electronic menu board is a nice upgrade. Other than that, this is the same Al's that you have come to know and love. Very friendly people who work their butts off to make a quality sandwich and do it quickly to get you in and out. The bread is still fresh-baked, and nothing beats taking those first few bites when the bread is still warm. Of course, the big caveat is that these are hearty sandwiches. I'll always order a large, eat half, and enjoy the rest for dinner or the next day. The three subs I tend to rotate are the meatball (ordered as is), Italian's Italian (add tomatoes, lettuce, onions, salt & pepper), and the Chicken Salad (add tomatoes, salt and pepper). If you're a chicken salad fanatic like me, Al's makes a creamy one that is more shredded, less chunky, and a little salt & pepper livens it up a touch. You'll definitely develop a craving. Occasionally, I will do the prosciutto-only High Street Cafe Special or the chicken parm. I didn't realize Al's was doing smash burgers now! Will have to grab one of those soon. Welcome to my neighborhood Al's! I'll be seeing you around...the corner. ;)
