Wow, what a deli! This place is amazing! Went here off a recommendation from a family member and Al’s hit every facet of a great American deli! From the brightness of the menus to the cleanliness of the entire place, it really makes you want to dig into a huge sandwich. Let me also note there were a ton of police officers in there and one thing I have definitely come to the conclusion over the years is that if there are police officers or dpw workers in a lunch place then it is going to have great food. They have so many unique sandwich combinations and a few sandwiches that they do on their house made focaccia bread! I couldn’t decide what I wanted because of all the amazing options I couldn’t narrow it down to just one thing I wanted to try so one of the nice, bright staff members after making a few of their top selling suggestions said “you could always just make your own creation and go crazy”, which is exactly what I did. What I assume to be the owner came over and said “I heard you talking about our focaccia bread and while it is good, I think our semolina is the best option for a nice sub sandwich”. The sandwich was amazing, great quality meats and ingredients and great size for the price. They also have a wide selection of salads and pre made items to choose from. There was a good amount of people eating inside with a wide range of food from omelettes to sandwiches and also just classic dishes but it didn’t seem too crowded and the staff were still calm, cool and smiling. If you’re in the garwood/Cranford area and looking for a nice lunch or going to hop on the train to head into the city (they are located right next to the garwood train station) you should definitely stop at Al’s and you’ll be glad you did!
What an AWESOME spot!! The sandwiches are TOP-NOTCH! forget about subway etx- this is the place to go. Very good, clean and delicous!!!!! Also the rice pudding.

Al’s is a Garwood staple with the best breakfast sandwiches and subs in the area. Anytime we get catering, people always compliment the food and ask where we ordered from. It takes a lot for a family owned business to stick around as long as Al’s. With great service and high quality, it is no wonder that this place continues to thrive as a classic local spot!

I love this place my favorite is the Al’s Italian. It’s amazing. I just don’t get why they don’t subscribe to any online food services like DoorDash or Uber eats or higher end Wonder app. if I could order online working from home I would get it more often but I don’t know why they don’t move into the 20th century and digital age. If there is some reason I would love to know
Parking: There’s only a couple spaces right out front. It can get pretty busy at lunchtime, but you can always park in the lot of the mini mall and the train station as well if you’re just running in real quick.
