I was intrigued after seeing All Star on the Boston Globe's list of best sandwich shops in the area, so I stopped by for lunch on a Sunday. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The interior gave me diner vibes - very laid back and comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]At 11:30 it was pretty much empty. It seems like most people get their food to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the Tofused Banh Mi - tofu, pickled veg, basil, cilantro, and a fried egg on a brioche bun. Definitely not a traditional banh mi but very tasty nonetheless! The teriyaki-like glaze was a little sweet for me and I would have preferred some more spice to balance it out but all in all I was very happy with my visit here and would definitely come back. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]cute, small place with a decent size menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] impossible to find parking. very overpriced. i got the island jerk chicken sandwich which was good, but not worth 18$. the coleslaw on the side wasn't my favorite. my husband got the rueben, was "not terrible but, nothing special."- per my husband. the poutine was NOT poutine, i was confused when they came out with a chicken type gravy and not the normal brown gravy- they ended up being alright but a little bland. the fries themselves were pretty good. their hot sauce "inner beauty" was fantastic, perfect amount of heat and added much needed flavor to the poutine. i don't think i'll return, but i'm sure there's other stuff on the menu that's better! the waitresses were really nice which is always a plus. [[HIGHLIGHT]]i like that you can see the kitchen too, pretty cool.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The island jerk chicken melt sandwich was the perfect lunch sandwich. Loads of juicy chicken stuffed inside chewy sourdough bread. The sweet sauce that was on the chicken was delicious. Good sized sandwich as well so you get your money's worth. read more

Best Cubano I've had in a very long time. Portions are huge, so keep that in mind when ordering. Also had sweet potato wedges, and the yogurt based dipping sauce was outstanding! read more

This has turned into a classic and is among my favorite sandwich shops in the area. Over the years, I've had the atomic meatloaf, the gobbler, the beef on weck, the pastraminator, the hush puppies, the chili, the chili cheese dog, and the deviled eggs. They manage to create consistently balanced flavors that are classic but often with a slight twist. All of the menu items I have had have been created and executed with thought and care. A couple of notes to share. The chili cheese dog is absolutely great if you are eating in or very close to the restaurant but gets soggy if you are ordering delivery or need to wait a bit before diving in. The beef on weck might be the only beef on weck in the city. The au jus is excellent and just about any french dip would be proud to have it as an accompaniment. The horseradish hits just right. The caraway and salt makes the roll. But, the beef always seems to be overcooked and dry. In an area known for excellent north shore style roast beef sandwiches, which have a lot to share with the beef on weck, it's curious that this sandwich isn't downright fantastic considering the quality of this shop's overall menu. All Star Sandwich Bar produces some great sandwiches and sides and has a great staff and culture. read more

I still love there sandwiches. The other day I felt like there french fries and got the chili cheese fries. Fries were very crispy which can be good but that is not there usual fries. the chili was just chucks of beef and half the cheese wasn't even melted and the cheese was a little skimpy. But I will go back for there sandwiches. service was great. read more

The menu at All Star Sandwich Bar certainly piqued my interest. The sandwich combinations sounded inventive and mouthwatering. Unfortunately, the reality fell short of the promise. While the sandwiches were serviceable, they lacked the flavor and finesse I was expecting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance also left something to be desired. The decor felt a bit dated, though the space was clean.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, I'd give a 3 out of 5 stars. It's a decent option for a quick bite, but I wouldn't go out of my way to return. The service however was EXCELLENT!! I give an extra star for that, alone! read more

Worst sandwich I've had in awhile. I ordered the gobbler. The sandwich had more mayo than turkey. Not lying it was drowning in mayo. So basically I paid close to $17 for a mayo and cranberry sauce sandwich. Ridiculous There is nothing all-star about this place. Over-rated read more

Not great for delivery. Can't speak to in person. Grilled cheese not melted. Looked like cheese slices unmelted. Jerk chicken sandwich was a wet sloppy mess. Maybe better to eat immediately. But I swear the grilled cheese was never melted. Still perfect squares. read more

Stopped in for lunch while I was visiting a nearby business and had a very enjoyable lunch! Thanks, Yelps, for the reviews pointing me here. -[[HIGHLIGHT]]very welcoming space, nice vibe[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] -staff super helpful, friendly and attentive - [[HIGHLIGHT]]fun music playing[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] -so many options on the menu--sounded delicious but I just wasn't hungry enough for most of them--I have to come back with a friend and try more of the menu! I chose the half grilled cheese with a bowl of creamy tomato soup. They were delicious, prepared just right, played so nicely, and to my delight, came with a side of coleslaw. Great lunch for me! read more

I've only ordered online from them a few times and will not be visiting in person. Delivery service was consistently late and the food was variable in quality. When trying to find out order status when they were 30min late, they were incredibly rude and seem to be run by teenagers. Don't bother, it's not worth it. read more

A long time ago, I was out at a fancy dinner and asked the waiter for suggestions on where to eat around Boston. He offered up All Star Sandwich Bar. I went a few weeks later and really liked it. I started going all the time. Then, probably because I had a son, I just stopped. Well Monday, I went back, and it is a shame I went so long without eating there because I really enjoyed my sandwich. I got the Mr. Miyagi (love the name) which is Sweet chile ginger hoisin glazed pulled pork, Thai basil, cilantro, English cucumber, pickled daikon radish, carrots, fried egg and sesame sriracha aioli on a grilled sesame brioche roll. It was excellent. My wife got the cubano which I have enjoyed in the past and she said it was very good. My son had a grilled cheese and we all shared an order of fries. Other sandwiches I liked back when I used to go more often include the Beef on Weck, The Atomic Meatloaf, and occasionally a funky burger. Even though there is table service, the atmosphere is casual and the service is relaxed, so come as you are. The sandwiches are about $15 each and come with coleslaw and a pickle. Inman Square isn't the easiest place to park but there is a lot on Springfield Street that sometimes has spots. Bottom line, if you want a good, not-so-ordinary sandwich, All Star Sandwich Bar is a good place to go. If you like it, you can thank that waiter who told me about it, whoever he was. read more

Second time ordering a sandwich from here and once again it was EXCELLENT! I got the island jerk chicken melt this time, 10/10 would recommend. Delivery was quick. Sandwich was $16, good size, came with pickle and coleslaw, I feel that the value is excellent for the quality of the sandwich. Absolutely would recommend All Star Sandwich Bar and would order from here again. read more

Food was so delicious. Jerk sandwhich is so good. Spicy and flavorful and coleslaw and pickle is perfect to cook it down. The hell fries are not for the weak. Personally they were to spicy but from the bites I had they were seasoned very well. Service is ok but makes sense for a order at counter type place read more

I own a property in Cambridge on Cambridge since 1986. Last Wednesday I visited All star sandwich for a sandwich. after ordering my sandwich and soda [[HIGHLIGHT]]I sat on a street side table but did not enjoy the atmosphere so got my sandwich packed to carry it to my building to eat it in the comfort of my own space.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I took a bite of the sandwich but the taste was unusual so I added horse radish to enhance the taste but the second bite was even worse forcing me to run to the rest room to vomit. two bites too many I dumped the whole package of sandwich, pickles, horse radish into the dumpster. Only the lemonade was somewhat palatable. . Having been a restaurateur with two consecutive best of Boston awards and also the Epicurean Award I am writing this review just to forewarn a hungry wonderer from making my mistake! read more

Do yourself a favor and order a sandwich on their sourdough bread *chefs kiss*. Highly recommend

I stopped by during the Inman Square craft market. I live close by and I can't believe I haven't come here sooner! This place boasts a wide variety of classic and creative sandwiches. We got the Mr. Miyagi, Island Jerk Chicken Melt, and hell fries. I highly recommend the Mr. Miyagi if you enjoy bahn mi. Our server was quick and attentive despite the amount of diners and our food arrived quickly. read more

I just paid $17.65 for a turkey club sandwich At this place. I won't be going back here.

I give my lunch 1 start - 0 for the sandwich and 1 for trying something native to upstate New York. Tried the Beef on Weck today at lunch. The menu online: Beef on Weck House roasted beef, extra hot horseradish, real au jus on a kimmelweck bun (warm and thin, sliced to order). Served with coleslaw and dill pickle spear. My sandwich was terrible. Cons. The bun was stale. So stale that when I picked it up, most of the salt and caraway seeds fell off. There was no horseradish. There was no au jus, no coleslaw, no pickle per the menu. The beef was so over cooked and dry that after 3 bites I threw $14 worth of sandwich in the trash. Pros - They offer Beef on Weck. It was still warm. If your menu says what is in/on a sandwich, why not make that sandwich? read more

All Star Sandwich Bar - a beef sandwich wrapped in aluminum foil - Sandwiches Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

I had been here a while ago and thought I'd try again- stopped in last night to get a few sandwiches, I remember it being good. We got there around 5pm on a Sat night. No one was inside eating. We ordered take out. After picking out a few sandwiches, I saw the prices rung up were about $2 more than on the menu. I made a comment and the woman rudely said, they raised the prices due to covid. Thats fine ( many restaurants raised prices) maybe just mention that first? We were about an hour away so I asked for the "dressing/Sauce on the side". I do this most times bc everyone likes different amounts and you can be in control. Got home, the sandwich was so soggy and loaded with the sauce, I threw it away.. $33 for 2 sandwiches is very expensive!!! $33 for 2 sandwiches you couldn't eat. quite frustrating!! Won't be going back again! read more

This is a sibling restaurant of All stars pizza joint across the street. This restaurant offers a huge selection of sandwich/burgers...and you are bounded to find something you like there for sure (if not, just build your own!). I had a chance to try their specialty burger and it was so huge that I ended up having the same burger + fries over my next few meals..and the good thing was..it was still very tasty after reheating it up, too. The price isn't cheap by any means..but I wouldn't say they were expensive either..esp given a large portion size. Try on if you are in the area. It's a casual place to grab lunch/dinner...and I think based on the people who stopped by there...most of their orders were for to gos...so chances are you we'll be able to find some seats to enjoy you meal if you want to find some placed to sit and relax, too. read more

All Star Sandwich Bar - Burger special: The Beauty Burger grilled beef patty, baked ham, fried egg, red onion jam, beauty hot sauce & sour cream on brioche roll $16 - Sandwiches Near Me - Cambridge, Massachusetts

This is not just any sandwich bar it is an all star place to eat. All kidding aside, the ingredients tasted fresh, with no detail seemingly left out. There are some unusual combos with fun names. Then there are some regular sandwiches, that do not have regular flavor, the food selections are above average. The only thing that I did not like was the cookie, but it still tasted fine. It was more biscuit like than gooey cookie. The rest rooms are gender neutral and clean. On street parking is available, but during peak times not always plentiful. read more

This was our second time ordering from All Star, having ordered from there about a year previously. The first time we ordered the Gobbler, Mr. Miyagi, and Chili Cheese Fries. It wasn't super memorable, but I didn't remember hating it so we decided to order again. Both times we ordered for delivery which is available through DoorDash. The prices are $1-$3 higher per item, as well as fee DD charges, so it's definitely much more expensive to do this. Our food took about 35 minutes to arrive. I ordered the Atomic Meatloaf Meltdown and got the sauce on the side. I dipped my sandwich in it and found it WAY too spicy for me, so I'm glad I got it on the side. Otherwise it tasted pretty bland and wasn't much to write home about especially for $15. WE also got the Friday special of a Fish Po'Boy that was alright. The fish was clearly fresh and served on a baguette. It was decent but nothing special. And again, for $15 wasn't worth it. It also comes with a mustard sauce (not tartar sauce) that I enjoyed. The chili cheese onions rings were good, but I feel like these should be eaten at the restaurant. Sitting in their container they just got all soggy and greasy from the chili. The chili was a little spicy but I liked the chunks of beef in it. Overall, I probably won't go back. The food was alright but it's so expensive for not a lot of food. Maybe if I were int he area my experience would be better at the restaurant, but I won't go out of my way to order from them again. read more

Had another simply amazing Beef on Weck sandwich last evening at the All-Star Sandwich Bar in Cambridge, Massachusetts, before going to a show at the House of Blues across the river in Boston. Beef on Weck is a regional specialty from Buffalo, NY, that was invented around 1882-1885 when a German immigrant baker from the Palatinate region began baking a sandwich-sized variant of a Rhenish kümmelweck roll in the bakery that he and his brother established in Buffalo's German neighborhood. Kümmelweck means "kümmel (caraway) + weck (Palatinate German dialect for roll, sometimes weckerl), and kümmelweck is a slightly toothier roll similar to a Kaiser roll in shape and proportions but baked with a liberal sprinkling of pretzel salt and caraway on top of the roll. The sandwich itself is a fairly simple but amazing thing: just the kümmelweck, a large portion of thinly sliced rare to medium-rare slow-cooked roast beef, topped with a thick layer of horseradish (not horseradish sauce or horseradish aioli). The cut side of the top of the roll is traditionally dipped quickly into a hot au jus to moisten the roll but not make it completely soggy (although many places that serve Beef on Weck now serve the au jus on the side to allow the customer to pour as much or as little as they like onto the top roll before eating - unfortunately this encourages a lot of people to dip their sandwich constantly into the au jus...it's not a French Dip). There's something magical about the combination of the salt, the caraway, the horseradish and the beef that is a classic example of something that is far more than the sum of its parts. I run a strange Facebook group dedicated to this sandwich that started out in 2007 as an exercise in learning how to set up a group on social media. It now has 20,000 members, has more than 200 posts a day, gets 150,000 views a month, and we've located and mapped more than 600 places around the US and Canada that serve this once-local but now spreading king of sandwiches. (https://www.facebook.com/share/3QDLgaKniaQoztv9/?mibextid=K35XfP) Having tried Beef on Weck in many places, I can say that the All-Star Sandwich Bar's BOW is one of the best anywhere and is, in fact, better than the vast majority of "weckeries" in Western New York, where it was born and where it's hard to find a restaurant or bar that doesn't pride itself on their sandwich. The All-Star Sandwich Bar's Beef on Weck pairs a massive amount (8 oz or more) of thinly cut, melt-in-your-mouth and extremely tasty beef cooked medium-rare to rare with an amazingly rich and flavorful au jus, horseradish to clear away any allergies and bring tears to your eyes, and a roll easily 5-6" across that had just the right crunch to the crust, a body that was soft and fresh but also dense enough to take the au jus, horseradish, and meat juices without falling apart, topped with a perfect mixture of salt and caraway that had been baked onto the roll from the start rather than glued onto a bakery-bought Kaiser roll. Delicious! Served with a good dill pickle spear and cole slaw; washed down with a Harpoon IPA. The only downside was that when I arrived at 7:30 on a Sunday the staff told me they were only doing takeout from 7:00 until their 8:00 closing and asked if that was OK. I could see that they were frantically filling cups of coleslaw and other things for a big party or to prep for the next day's lunch rush, so I agreed and had a picnic in my car. Otherwise, you'd have a picture of another knock-it-out-of-the-park BOWs from one of the best weckeries in the US. The All-Star Sandwich Bar is anything but pretentious in appearance but they make 21 different sandwiches and 5 different hamburgers, 5-6 specials a day, 20 different sides, and serve beer (in cans ) and non-alcoholic drinks. And, yet, I've never wanted to try anything else on the menu because the Beef on Weck at $14.00 is worth not only the hour-long drive from home but also the horrific search for parking nearby on Cambridge's residential streets. read more

We got like 3 sandwiches... alllllll busssssin. I can't remember what I got but I plan to go again!

We order often from work for lunch. The grilled cheese in insane, I dont love tomato soup at all but OMG I could drink it from here because its more creamy and not Tomato-y! The Fries and Onion Rings and anything we get with sauce, chili or whatever is always a messy mess (which is also delish) But Im sure the fact that we get delivery doesnt help, Some things dont travel well, but we dont care!

We've taken out from all star's pizza location before and were very pleased. This was our first time trying the sandwich bar and we were equally happy. We got the banh mi sandwichS and they were really yummy. They weren't the traditional sandwiches, they were in a brioche bun but they tasted amazing. We also got a side of fries with their super yummy and super spicy hot sauce. We were also able to dine in and the tables were fairly spread apart. Would definitely give this 5 stars but it was a little bit pricey. read more
