Al's State Street Cafe

Phenomenal subs

Best meatball subs in Boston, and super cheap too!

Amazing sandwiches; fast and delicious, perfect for an office lunch. Stereotypical fast-paced environment too; step up, say your order, ger the sandwich, pay, get out. Keep the line moving fast. Take out only. Very little seating here, and its not very usable when its busy. A "small" 10 inch sandwich is plenty of food, especially if you get the bag lunch option; +$1.50 for chips and a drink. Tons of food, very filling. Vegetarian options: Veggie sandwiches and salad available.

I’ve been going to Al’s since 2015 and it is always consistently delicious, fast service, and a great value. I think the bag lunch is probably the best value lunch in all of downtown

Best Tuna Sub I have ever had!!!!! Fresh bread, tuna is mixed just right and all of the toppings are amazing.. prices are great too!! Great atmosphere.. staff is super cool and inviting.. always a good vibe..

My fiancé ordered what I thought was going to be a chicken parm sub from this place yesterday to learn that they used grilled chicken instead of breaded chicken cutlet in their subs… was thrown off by this as that’s not generally how that sub is made anywhere else….plus the chicken was dry. Almost seemed like it was boiled chicken… not a fan

Legendary place that is hands down the best sub shop in Boston.

Great for a quick lunch break

Al's......THANK YOU!!!!!! I walked over today from my work, and I was hoping and praying the chicken salad recipe had not changed in the last 15 years. Al's chicken salad was my absolute favorite sub of all time, and I would always get it when I was working as a deckhand for Boston Harbor Cruises. I am SO thrilled to say, it is as delicious as I remembered!!! I love that they don't put celery/raw onions into the mix. It is perfect as it comes, and I had lettuce and tomato onto my roll. The bread is fresh, and the regular/small size is huge! Thank you to all of you for your consistency in flavor, ability to manage a crowd (although I fortunately got right in today, arriving on the earlier side), and your team's welcoming attitudes. Al's still is and always with be the GOAT!!
