“This little store has got to be a best kept secret. Otherwise, they would be mobbed. They make THE BEST SUBS in town. Fresh rolls toasted the way you like it. Or not if you don't. Fresh meats many to choose from. Fresh cheeses, many of those to choose from, too; if you like heat, you have to try the habenero/ ghost pepper cheese on a sub - de- lish! You won't find that option anywhere else that I know of. Their tuna is to die for! Perfect every time. There is no need for extra oil or mayo - it's perfect as is! The veggies are always FRESH - really fresh - tomatoes, onions, and real lettuce, not bagged lettuce. You get plenty of them on your sub. They offer fresh jalapeño pepper sliced onto every sub. I usually get a whole jalapeño on mine. And if you're like me, I like a LOT of lettuce on my sub - they will put lettuce on the sub and give you a small bag of extra lettuce on the side. And I can't forget the pickle - EVERY sub comes with a fresh pickle spear wrapped in with the sub. A lovely little surprise. A wonderful, juicey fresh pickle! All these extra touches at no additional cost! Prices are VERY AFFORDABLE. They also accept EBT for payment. For cold subs, they beat Bella Pizza, which is right across the street. While you're there, you can check out their HOMEMADE SALADS - Greek, macaroni, with and without tuna, potatoe- ALL homemade, not the cookie cutter deli stuff you get at a grocery store. Homemade RESTAURANT quality salads. My favorites are the Greek and macaroni. Perfect! Just like Grandma used to make. Such care and quality are put into all these foods. I almost forgot dessert. They have single slices of cheesecake. Several different flavors. Carrots cake with cream cheese frosting, which is divine. So don't forget dessert when you pick up your sub. I'm getting hungry writing this. The store also sells a big variety of drinks, beer and pop. A multitude of odds and ends . Lotto. And gas. They have had the LOWEST price for gas forever. When gas was really high, GP was $2.99. Today, they still have the lowest price around. The crew there is friendly and good at what they do. Customer Service is EXCELLENT! If you are in the area or passing through, I urge you to check them out! You will not be disappointed.”

“I have been in this market many times, I do not know why I do not have a review posted already. I like going into this little store/gas station. I only ran in today to grab my mother some lottery tickets. I like going in here and having subs and food made for me. They used to except food stamps for subs, which they no longer do. They also had great amazing roast beef sandwiches on Kimilwick rolls. They have the normal things that a convenient store has ,but more . So if you want some good food, cold cuts, big selection of instant lottery tickets, a nice store, clerk, then check it out in here.”

“Very nice staff, a decent selection for its size and a great deli with a good selection of both fruit and less healthy desert options. I am a repeat customer and can't complain.”

“Whenever I’m in town, I stop at Al’s Corner Store to get a couple of subs. Like today at about 10 AM February 2, 2026. The middle aged gentleman in the deli section took my order for two foot long Italian subs. He’s an artist, a pro, deserves a gold medal. He asked what I wanted on them and I told him “everything”. I trusted him because like my previous experiences he knows how to make a great sub. I’m sorry I don’t know his name. This is a deli/store with polite friendly employees.”

“I don’t even know where to start. I visit this car wash at least 2 times every 3 days because my car gets disgusting on the outside. Well today I went and got my car washed and I can’t believe what happened Jon took hits time and put in his all drying or wiping down my car!! You guys need more people like Jon!! I couldn’t say much more I was shocked because of all the time he put in to my car.”

“An A-OK convenience store that might be useful to you if you live nearby on the west side. I walked over here on Cinco de Mayo to pick up some beer for a friend and their selection was definitely limited, as most convenience store beers are (they had Stella Artois, Budweiser, Natty Ice, Corona Cans, Coors Light Cans, Best Ice, Bud Light and some 40s). Decent selection, but not a ton of local options. You'll also find the other items you'd expect from a convenience store, from some dog food (Dog Chow brand), to pop, bananas, burger buns, air fresheners, BBQ Pork Skins and a whole lot of other unhealthy snacks. There was also a counter offering made-to-order subs, but I didn't give any of those a try and not sure if that's still functional. Either way, a handy convenience store/bodega if you're in the neighborhood!”
500 Ontario Street, Buffalo NY 14207
“Been to many places around Buffalo and this has been my favorite shop for many many years. Always good deals, always respectful friendly people. Ali is the man there too! If you show kindness, they will show it back. Highly recommend you go here for the things you need, speaking from experience a lot of stores don’t have the same stuff as them in stock. At least not as consistently. Good people!”
281 E Delavan Ave, Buffalo NY 14208
“It's legit. They have a huge selection of Hershey's ice cream. I don't really go there to buy anything else, but they also have a pretty good selection of ball caps.”
1032 West Avenue, Buffalo NY 14213
“I moved into the neighborhood during the lockdown and have counted on this store since. There have been 3 owners since and each has done so much. The current management is top notch. It’s super clean, stocked with everything that you might need and priced competitively. If your close, stop in and grab some food, you won’t be disappointed.”

“I went in to get my 2nd Shingles shot. Drew, the pharamcist was the only employee. It became very busy when I showed up but even with multiple customers, Drew ran the pharmacy like a champ with a smile on his face.”
129 Louisiana Street, Buffalo NY 14204
“A great one stop shop, they have a little bit of everything: hot food, toiletries, papers, a crazy Arizona Tea selection. We always get a warm greeting from Sadeek and Jacob if they’re working, and that really does make a difference stopping in here vs another place down the street! Great energy from the rest of the staff too 💯💯”
630 Colvin Ave, Buffalo NY 14216
“One of the best steak hoagies ever. I ordered the steak and sausage with hoagie sauce, onions, tomatoes, it was slammin!! Cleanest “corner” store ever!! Best professionalism as well. Go try something off their amazing menu, you will not be disappointed.”
514 Ontario St Apt 1, Buffalo NY 14207
“I must admit, I only pop in here occasionally, if I'm around and the store across the street isn't open yet, but they're the same family with the same excellent customer service and I just can't express how grateful I am they're in business in our neighborhood.”
326 Military Rd, Buffalo NY 14207

“Holy cow. Being vegan eating out anywhere can be difficult. Not here. It took me 20 min to land on a Congolese vegan dish of king oyster mushrooms spinach and beans. 5 star. Tasted Egyptian Fava beans. 5 stars. I’ll be back. Every vendor was pleasant. My friend had Jerk chicken that she said she would die for.”
