Al's South Street Cafe

I got a large chicken pesto sub. I figured for $2 more than the small I’d have a little leftover. I didn’t realize it would be as long as my arm! The bread was fresh with a nice crunch. The sub was so full it was almost bursting and it’s all white meat chicken. Pesto sauce was real tasty too and not over saturated. I feel like you should always get a large since it’s essentially an extra sub for $2 more. My picture is 1/4 of the sub and it looks like half of one I get from other places. I’ll definitely be back!

My first meal in Boston in years, and it was pretty solid. This place just feels Boston- lots of sports/other city references. Food was alright- my sandwich was very filling but could’ve used some more seasoning. Really affordable and I was full afterwards though.

Why would the girl come sweeping as I’m eating. That isn’t sanitary. And when I said something she continued sweeping and flinging floor dirt everywhere! I spent $21 for my food. I would have loved to eat it without someone sweeping near me as I eat and flinging dirt across the room. Insane. What happened to customer service. A. U don’t sweep while people are eating. B. When someone speaks on it STOP SWEEPING! What a jerk.

Best sandwiches in Boston. Best value for the money. They do it right. Every single time. Tons of ingredients. Packed solid. Great bread. 11/10

Epic sandwiches. Great ingredients, especially the bread. Truly insane portions, like two meals for sure. The pastrami is awesome but there are many gems on the menu. Always busy with folks getting lunch from the neighborhood but always fast.
