Not bad! For fourteen bucks, my date and I got two orange juices, two egg and cheese sandwiches on croissants, and my giant coffee. Worth it. Although this is a convenience store, they also have a deli and options for breakfast and lunch. Breakfast is mostly sandwiches or yogurt parfaits and the lunch menu consists of sandwiches as well. For Tufts students, Alexander’s accepts Jumbo Cash. It’s a casual environment but people seem to like it here– there were several gentlemen reading the paper and watching the morning news while waiting for raisin toast to have with their coffee. Alexander’s makes a quiet retreat from the rain, complete with kind staff and excellent service.

For two years, I lived around the corner from Alexander’s. It is a beacon of amazingness in South Medford. The fabulous cold cuts! the really underpriced produce! the AMAZING broiled haddock dinner! The gallon of $ 31% milk! What seemed to be an entire pint of ice cream from Richardson’s jammed into a cone for $ 3.95! God, I loved that place. NOT great if you’re looking for soy milk, and sometimes you need to sidestep some curious characters. It’s all part of the charm. Magic!

First time I went here I’d just moved in up the street. I ordered a sub and somehow managed to leave without paying. I made it back to my place, realized my mistake and came back, embarrassed. While insisting I’m not a thief, just a ditz, I made good on it. Honey mustard chicken with some humble pie to go was delicious. It’s been a year or so since then, and I’m so glad I didn’t burn that bridge! Service is good, they got all the ingredients and cleaning supplies you might need to grab at the last minute. Having Alexanders within stumbling distance makes me glad I moved back to Hancock st.

I have a service permit for my dog I take her everywhere I walked in a 930 to buy cigarettes. I was allowed in for a moment to wait a long line then when it was my turn I was yelled at. A man before me in line showed me his police badge and I told him I had a permit for the dog I was only buying smokes and he rushed me out. All I wanted was a pack of cigarettes while I waked my dog. Your a terrible establishment.

This place is literally down the block from where I live and comes in handy when we don’t feel like heading to the grocery store. They have pretty much any random thing you might need, be it food-related(chips, soda, olive oil, beans, juice, fruit, etc.)or general household stuff. Prices are higher than what you’d pay at a bigger store, but you can’t beat Alexander’s in terms of pure convenience. They also have a deli counter and cook up burgers, pizza, etc. if you need a quick & affordable meal.

Tried Alexander’s for the first time. Ordered the chicken cutlet prosciutto sub. Wanted exactly what the menu said was on it plus lettuce. Was asked 2 different times how I wanted it. This after I said I’ll take it just like on the menu plus lettuce. Hmm… Ok my first time and I don’t know the lingo so they will get a pass on that this time. The sub was good but nothing extraordinary. Watched a young guy come in and walk to the upper side to buy some scratch tickets. He stood there for about 3 minutes without anyone coming to help him. Once he stepped down where they could see him they helped immediately. Epic fail? No but the setup there has blind spots so being aware of them as an employee should be top of the list. The store looks like they carry a lot of great stuff. Cold cuts are high quality. Ice cream and slush section looks yummy. I will definitely come back in the near future and check it out.

Fantastic local mini grocery/convenience store. Friendly staff, great sandwich selection. Very affordable specials. Great selection of reasonably priced, brand name cold cuts, significantly cheaper than the local chain grocery stores. Huge selection of ice cream/slush. Tasty breakfast sandwiches that are the perfect cure for the sat/sunday hangover.

I just realized I’ve never written a review of this place, even though I eat there like once a month(it’s walkable from my office). Anyway, their subs are really delicious and very cheap. It is $ 5.99 for a steak & cheese with french fries! Everything else well priced too. The counter staff can be a little surly or super friendly, I guess it just depends the day.

While I am still almost at 5 stars — lately they have been out of a lot of stuff and what they have had had been stale. :( The deli/grill is still PHENOMENAL! Seriously, so good! They staff is great — they are nice and joke around with you. Good people! If you are in a pinch this place is still a more than safe bet. Better pricing for basic stuff than Bob’s(two blocks away) and fresher than any of the gas station sketchiness. I am sure it will be back to 5 stars in no time.

You had one bag of english muffins left and some smucker’s jam. I was craving english muffins and jam and you came through for me! I also enjoyed the simply salted Orville Redenbacher popcorn. Very convenient and the prices were not insane! Thank you, Alexander’s Convenient Food Stores in the City of Cold Cuts, Meffa, MASS!

The«place on the corner» that literally has everything. Cheap dinners(steak and cheese sub with fries for 5.99, etc.) that are fantastic. I love the buffalo mozzarella cheese sticks. The staff is friendly, and although not the fastest, for the price and quality and the proximity to my place, the tradeoff is unbeatable. I can get grocery items in a pinch, cheap food, ice cream and richies slush, everything else, always leave happy. Portions are huge.

I noticed that everyone has been giving this place a 5 star review. My boyfriend and I just went into the store today and the man working behind the food counter was ridiculously rude. We ordered a turkey sub by saying«I’d like a turkey with american» and the man asked«what the hell is that?» in such a rude way. I was so surprised by his attitude. We ordered the turkey sub and a breakfast bomb with bacon and either one of them was very good. I would never go back to order food from there. We got ice cream from here once and it was very old. It was freezer burnt. It gets 2 stars for have a good variety of groceries and produce. The prices are decent.

Overall, great cheap eats — sure they could be a little more organized and a little more polite when taking orders, but what’s the fun in that? Food is always worth your money and the onion rings are great! Oh, and don’t forget it has KENO!

they have richardson’s ice cream. and it is so cheap. $ 2.26 for a gargantuan small. the same amount at j.p. licks would require a mortgage. iced coffee is 86 or 93 cents(depending on the day.) they also have richie’s slush.
