Jeane Dodson

A good deli sandwich combo (12” sub , chips and drink) for $8.50. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Subs were delicious!

Joe Russo

Great food fast. One of those awesome places where a large is the size of your arm. Know what you want to order before getting in line for your own safety.

Traci Schuh

Great place to grab a sandwich and go. Hot sandwiches to the left, line up for cold ones on the right. Big hoagie for a small price. You'll see everyone carrying a yellow bag, you know you are close.

Philip Nolan

Any Philly expats will appreciate the steak and cheese here - not quite a steak , but pretty close. All sandwiches are solid choices - probably the best value for subs in Boston.

Matej Mavriček

I like the cold sandwiches , especially the roast beef , turkey or the state street special. Bread is soft and delicious. Service is very fast.

Emma Mcentyre Merrick

This place is amazing. Great ambience and diverse menu. I'm ordering the vegetarian sub . Will return here again soon.

Jake Smith

The chicken salad is the best, but if you are looking for something different, try the Lady Cafe Special. Either way, get a large and save some for later.

E Alix

The chicken salad sandwich is the best I've ever had. I get mine with provolone , pickles , and salt & pepper . 💪

Jeremy Krantz

One of Boston's best lunch spots , they offer big, fresh subs and salads . Quick and affordable .

Joseph Dineen

The hot subs are quicker than the cold subs . Best value in the financial district and very good to boot.

Abby Altman

The State St special is a fantastic sandwich , and since the large will last two meals, the price is definitely worth it.

Vincent Cardinale

Awesome little place with delicious meatball sub . Probably the best I've eaten and for so cheap ! Def. will be back again

Juliet

10inch sub , 20 oz soda & bag of chips for $7.50. Or get the Cafe Select salad w/ grilled chicken & side of fresh, warm rolls for under $8. YUM!!!

PerkStreet Financial runs on Al's! Pop up to the 3rd floor of 114 State and say hello to the staff . We're building a better bank by giving our customers millions of dollars in cash back each year.

Chicken parm sub was recommended by a local and lived up to the "amazing"

Chicken salad always hits the spot with lettuce, tomato and hots. Delicious :) and the best chicken salad in Boston.

Can't decide? You can't go wrong with the Chicken Salad , the hands-down BEST in the city .

Get a large and split it amongst two. Still ginormous.

Tom Fortier

The chicken pesto sandwich , 15 years since my first and it's as good as ever!

Andrew Graves

Try a chix salad sub with the works, and if the weather is nice bring it over to Long Wharf to people watch . A very good, but cheap , lunch option.

Will Hughes

You have to get the meatball sub its killer!

Tyler Guertin

Really can't go wrong. Italian's Italian is great. Make sure to add hots + pickles .

Donald Denning

best steak and cheese sandwich in town . better than anything I had in philadelphia

Kevin Liu

Order a large only if you want leftovers for dinner , and then some. You've been warned.

Craig Collins

Only place where ten dollars buys you lunch AND dinner with a bag of chips and soda .

Christian Miller

Think of what you want to order before you arrive. The place gets busy during lunchtime but it's very fast paced and it's easy to get overwhelmed.

Derek Jicha

State street special is awesome. One of Boston's best places for lunch .

Don't think, just get the chicken salad .
