I can't believe that they cooked my corn beef before they put it in my sandwich. They absolutely ruined it.

During a recent visit to some friends in Chelsea, I wanted to pick up breakfast for everyone and found this place on Yelp so I decided to go here. It's a very unassuming sandwich shop that's quite easy to miss. My friends have lived a few blocks away for a year and never even noticed this place. Inside the shop, there are a few seats, but it is definitely much more of a takeout place. It seems like most of their orders are for catering as well. When I got there, my order was taken at the front by a very kind woman. I ordered a few sandwiches and fries for about $50 total and then was told it would be about 10 minutes. Lucky for me, there was a Dunkin a short walk away so I went to grab some coffee. Once I was back, it was just another minute or so for my food.The sandwiches are MASSIVE. I mean these were the biggest subs I've ever seen and I included a photo below with some hands for reference. I ordered a New Yorker for myself and then 2 other breakfast sandwiches for my friends which I did not try. The New Yorker was incredible - nice meaty, cheese, and carb heavy - the perfect meal for a long day ahead or as a hangover cure - an absolutely fantastic sandwich. The sandwiches are definitely too big to be just 1 meal. I stretched mine out for just 2, but could easily have been 3. This easily helps to justify the rather expensive cost of a single sub.The fries were really good too - they were the sort of double fried ones with all the crispy bits on the outside. Definitely a great local spot to visit, I highly recommend.

Wonderful neighborhood deli. Our last meal on our trip to Boston and it did not disappoint!! We ordered a Steak Bomb and the Imported Italian. Very fresh. Staff are quite nice, friendly. Thank you for an amazing meal.

So all day I've been thinking about having an awesome corn beef sandwich. I decided to go to S&L subs. Unfortunately, my day was ruined at 4 PM when I finally arrived at S&L subs. I ordered a corn beef sandwich with a couple extra slices of pickle snd when it arrived. It was hot and cooked. They ruined my corn beef. I was beside myself when a cooked corn beef sandwich came over to my table for $17. I wouldn't have paid two dollars for the sandwich. I mentioned to the young man behind the counter that handed it to me, I said, why did you cook my corn beef? Why is my sandwich hot? A corn beef sandwich at any Jewish deli in the world unless you order a Ruben is a cold sandwich. I went from happy to very sad and disappointed in seconds, I was so excited when I ordered a corn beef sandwich with yellow mustard on a bulky roll and what I got was a makeshift unfinished half a Reuben sandwich, not even Ugh!!! They cooked my corn beef!! If I wanted a hot corn beef sandwich I would've ordered a Reuben so I would've had sauerkraut, cheese and it would've been pressed. This was just a big mistake. . Now for those of you, that don't know the history of the corn beef sandwich, S&L subs in originated years ago with Arthurs Deli before the big Chelsea fire. Then a friend of mine Paul bought a three decker down near the Chelsea mall where the fire originated back in the day. He found the original barrels that where used to cure the corn beef with the original recipe nailed on top of the barrel. He then proceeded to re-open Arthurs deli, which was a staple in Chelsea for the next 20 years until he retired and sold the business to S&L subs. S & L eventually sold that location, but they kept the corn beef recipe and moved the corn beef to their original location on the other side of town. I have frequented this location for corn beef sandwiches and enjoyed them very much for the past couple years. Today I was looking forward to a corn beef sandwich. All day I went in and they just ruined my day. It was the worst corn beef sandwich I've ever had. The young man behind the counter said that's how we make it. No apology nothing. He didn't ask me if I wanted to have it changed for an uncooked sandwich, which if it is the same recipe would have been delicious but I got nothing. No I'm sorry no oh no explanation nothing. When I went outside and was standing out front. There was a young lady that worked there sitting at one of the outdoor tables taking her break. She said hello, I said hello and she happened to ask me if I liked my food and I I let her know that it was the corned beef sandwich ever and that it was cooked. She said they've been doing that for the last eight months. I don't know why they changed And they have taken the one Jewish deli delicacy from around the world and changed it to a cooked well done disgrace of a sandwich. It just doesn't make any sense. Anyway, if you're interested in getting a corn beef sandwich this is totally 1000% not the place anymore. I am beside myself there's a very sad day in Chelsea.

We stopped here when staying in Boston and it was such a great decision. Not only did you get a good decent sized sandwich for a reasonable price but it was delicious. It was a small mom and pop shop that was welcoming and the staff was very warm and helpful. There was a small bar to sit at but no tables. There were many different people coming in and out to get takeout orders and we realized that it was a takeout heavy place so we got ours to go as well. There were 2 people in front of us, but we waited maybe 10 minutes to get our food !!

Sorry for the late rate boss man ! This place was absolutely wonderful. The subs were delicious and the staff was friendly. The owner and his family took very good care of me and my construction crew and warned me ahead of time how delicious these subs would be! Do NOT get a regular sub if you're not hungry because this establishment gives you more then your money worth. This is absolutely my favorite place to grab a sub! I will definitely be coming back! The owner gave me a free water while I wait on 8 subs and the cashier gave me an extremely friendly conversation and the entire staff was just so cool and interactive! Thank you!

Amazing sub shop...arguably the best steak n cheese (w/mushrooms, pepper and onions) I've ever tasted. They wrap in tin foil so it stayed nice and hot on my to go order. Meal deal with chips and soda for about $14. Clean with a big screen to watch while you wait and friendly service. Sorry no pics.

Can't say enough about this place... our classic Italian sub was amazing, fresh & HUGE. The service was fast and friendly. We sat at the counter and ate our subs and had the nicest conversation with Steven, the owner, who talked about his family and his business (that's been in the family for 50+ years). We will definitely be back to try more menu items- like the in-house cooked corned beef, the pastrami and chicken cutlet.
