Al’s Corner Deli and Catering Services

My favorite sandwich here is the Reuben. Good Stuff!

I have been going to Al’s Deli for as long as I can remember. They catered my wedding back in 2009 with no problems at all and I recently ordered one of their trays for my daughters baptism. I dont think ive ever had any issues at this great neighborhood deli!

Best chicken salad around! It’s the only thing I get. The other foods looks good too

Meh, not sure what all the hype about this place is. This was my first trip in here this morning, I’ve been by it a million times. I stopped in and ordered a porkroll and cheese and a BLT. The porkroll and cheese was very good, packed with meat, it was a decent sandwhich. The BLT not so much. If there is one thing I hate, hate, it’s cold bacon. I absolutely hate when I order a BLT and the toast is warm but the bacon is rock hard. For this reason and this reason alone I will only give three stars. It’s just pure laziness on the part of the person making the sandwhich. This place is big and had a decent crowd at 630am. It’s a little dingy and awkward though, there is an office are directly behind the registers? Kinda weird. This place could use some updating, kinda looks rundown. I may or may not return, wouldn’t make a special trip.

Good good but a suggestion is not to double wrap the food. When my job orders and has it delivered its always wrapped double and the bread if we get hot sandwiches are a little on the soggy side. But food is good. Chicken salad is phenomenal!

I used to love anAl’s but recently their service has sucked. The employees are rude and the wait is forever. If u know someone behind the counter then there is no wait but for everyone else the wait is around 20 – 30 minutes, which is ridiculous. The staff is very unfriendly too which they never used to be.

I used to love to order from Al’s until yesterday. I ordered online and paid with a credit card. Unfortunately, their website is not professionally done and does not allow you to enter an expiration date past 2020. I entered my card information and my food was delivered. The delivery guy returned to my school to say that I needed to pay him cash because I had no money on my card. He made a scene in the office at my job. I called to report him to the business where a very rude employee yelled at me. I gave my credit card information to this very rude person who kept entering the wrong number. Eventually, he got it right and of course my card was approved. A series of errors on the deli employees’ part and all I got was a very «dry» I am sorry from the female manager. NEVER will I order from here again and I am telling every one of my colleagues at work and the sites near Al’s about my horrible experience. They also delivered my food 3 hours too early and by the time I got to eat it the bread was soggy. The staff lacks manners, professionalism, and education.

It’s dietz and watson y’all. They have good potato salad, cole slaw and they make pretty darn good hot sandwiches (cheesesteaks etc). When I was a kid we would go in and get their corned beef. It was REAL corned beef! Now, it looks like Bologna and tastes like a boot insert. Bummed. Places usually go to the crapper when they get busy aka successful, but I never thought Al would sellout. Dietz and Watson is probably the worst (cheapest) lunchmeat you could buy. Why stand in line for fifteen minutes for something I can get at the Acme?

This place is always busy. …they provide good value for what they serve… they have been here for many years… that should be a great testament to their continued success… they do it as well as anyone…

This place is great. Probably the best deli I’ve been to in Philadelphia. People are really nice and the service is great. I ordered the pastrami special, which was pretty good. The only negative thing I have to say about it is that they didn’t put a lot of meat on it, however they did make up for that by giving me 5 pounds of fries, which was a small order. Prices are also very great. They seem to have everything in this deli as well. I’ll definitely be back. If anyone is looking for a great sandwich at a reasonable price I recommend Al’s corner deli.

Good food, good quality. We used to order from here more until they started a $ 2 delivery charge, which is understandable considering the rising costs of fuel, etc. However, after hearing from their drivers who say that the $ 2 does NOT go to them, it didn’t make sense. So in essence, we’re paying $ 2 plus tip on top of our usual $ 30/​day breakfast or lunch order. And we used to send one of our guys to pick up but there is very minimal parking available and we’ve been ticketed several times already at $ 53 a pop. Too many good breakfast/​lunch spots to have to deal with this hassle.

Get there hot sausage sandwich, with peppers and onions. So good. Won’t be disappointed. And the breakfast sandwiches are some the best around.

This is my favorite breakfast spot. I stop here about twice a week and the people are incredibly nice. I have never gotten a bad meal or sandwich. it could get a little bit busy in the morning but you can call ahead and they will have your meal waiting. Do yourself a favor and stop in they will care of you. They also have Holmesburg bakery deliver pasteries which is an added plus. They are a one stop shop you can get prepared meals for dinner paper towels for the house.

Amazing. I have never had a better Reuben in my life. These guys are awesome. I highly highly recommend them and am looking forward to returning for something tasty,

I take my crew there every morning before we head to the shop, they have THE BEST BREAKFAST sandwiches in the northeast, and there priced right, great deli as well

this place rocks. fast and friendly service. their sandwiches are top notch. i had the cajun turkey club twice this week and wasnt disapponted at all. highly recommend.

This place is a hidden gem! I do work over by Holmesburg Junction from time to time and usually stop in whenever I do. They have tons of prepared foods and lots of nice things that are hard to find. The sandwiches are excellent. They slice the meat and cheese to order. Stop in and the size of the crowd should tell you everything you need to know.

I have long been searching the area for a spot with a breakfast sandwich that is not a chain donut shop. Al’s fits the bill.
The pork roll egg and cheese was huge for a nice price. Fluffy eggs and plenty of pork roll. While I like a harder hard roll, I don’t think they do that in Philly, so that’s my lone complaint.
The place was clean friendly and packed. They have a good system down so the people getting cold cuts don’t overlap the sandwich crowd, which was nice.
The pastrami special looked enticing, but we will definitely be back for the breakfast.

I was asked to bring ‘real’ German potato salad to a party once, and given a description of what to get. I was so confused so I asked around and everyone sent me to this place for it.
They were completely right. This place not only carried exactly what my friend asked me to bring, but were very helpful. I had gone here as a kid and always had something tasty. Very fresh, and also very clean. A real staple in the neighborhood.

Best deli in Philadelphia. Period. I get my lunchmeat & rolls & ryebread for work here every week, always fresh & reasonably priced. They have everything you could imagine, & probably a few things you can’t. Have also had a few parties catered by Al’s; never a problem. Great sandwiches, too. Family-​owned & operated, which is a big plus, & the staff is very friendly. You couldn’t ask for a better deli.

First time I was here was after a long night clubbing in NYC and just stepped off of the train right around the corner. Hungry, thirsty, and hungover, I stumbled into Al’s on an early Saturday morning and ordered a Hoagie. It was good. Really good. Not the best I’ve ever had, but it was definitely what I needed and was delicious going down.
I’ve been back maybe a half dozen times since, and it’s always been to get an early AM breakfast sandwich. For not having any lunch trucks around the NEast like they do in Center City, Al’s fills in perfectly and almost fully alleviates the pain of not having easily accessible kielbasa sammiches around every corner.
Almost.

I went to Al’s for the first time this saturday at the suggestion of a friend who recommended their chicken salad. The chicken salad was so good that I went back the next day and got a bigger sandwich than the day before. I’ll have to try other things, but I liked the blue collar vibe of the place and the chicken salad was some of the best that I’ve ever had.

Mannn… This is one of my favorite deli’s in the NE. Although parking on the street can be a pain at times, it’s worth the visit. They have a bakery/​pastery display, and an endless menu of sandwiches and daily specials. For as crowded as this place gets, the staff is always accomodating, friendly, and the service is pretty quick.
