Was Dave F at Alen's a mag?
On a Sunday my usual egg sando place had grill problems so I came over to Alen's Deli for the first time. Ordered an egg and cheese and a sausage egg and cheese. On this day it was a one man operation but the wait is worth it as it is clear each order is made with care. My egg sandwich were delicious and beautiful. Two eggs each cooked perfectly. Each ingredient stack with engineered perfection. The bread!! The bread... View all feedback.
What Marie Crespi dislikes about Alen's:
I have ordered from Alen's several times since it is near my workplace, but I haven’t enjoyed any of the dishes. The salads were not fresh, and the flavors were off. I couldn’t even finish my meal. View all feedback.

Absolutely fantastic deli! The staff is consistently friendly, and everything is fresh every day. I visit often and truly appreciate the local vibe. The chicken cutlet is my favorite dish!
My wife and I were on the lookout for a place that served Reubens when we discovered this restaurant. We decided to dine in and ended up having a wonderful conversation. I enjoyed it so much that I later found them on DoorDash and ordered the Reuben and French fries. This place is fantastic, with delicious food and excellent service! I wish I could give it more than five stars!

If you love Gazpacho, I’ve found the ideal place for you! They offer amazing, wholesome food that is beautifully presented, and their menu is one of the most extensive around. Is this the best-kept secret in New Jersey? Gazpacho is a true treasure for anyone who truly appreciates good food! I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. It’s a fantastic addition to Springfield!
I've found my new favorite sandwich place! The service is fast and friendly, and the food is amazing. The pastrami is exceptionally good—tender and juicy, similar to Katz's Deli but much leaner, so you can enjoy it without feeling guilty. I definitely recommend it!
I've ordered from this restaurant multiple times due to its convenience near my workplace, but I haven't enjoyed anything I've tried. The salads were not fresh, and the flavors were unappealing. I even struggled to finish my meal.

Can u imagine I bought this vegetable cream cheese on 10-4-2022 and the date on the container indicates 5-19-08 and I was wondering why it tasted rancid. Nothing more to say.

On this day it was a one man operation but the wait is worth it as it is clear each order is made with care. My egg sandwich were delicious and beautiful. Two eggs each cooked perfectly. Each ingredient stack with engineered perfection. The bread!! The bread makes a difference! Was soft and crispy, a perfect bread to egg ratio. Hot, fresh and delicious. I want to try the sub sandwiches next and the soups. So good!
I've been ordering from here through Grubhub all summer. My favorite is their homemade gazpacho. It's delicious. [Will they make it in winter? Also fine are their many entrees with meat/potatoes/veg and sandwiches. Prices are quite reasonable.
I had a delightful experience at the restaurant. The atmosphere was straightforward yet very enjoyable. We truly appreciated the dishes we chose, and the service was prompt.

Alen hosted a party for my family yesterday, and everyone had a wonderful time! The food was delicious, the service was prompt and efficient, and the quality was outstanding. The customer service was exceptional as well. I highly recommend Alen's Deli to anyone!
We ordered a birthday dinner to be delivered to our office for a group of men. Our menu choices might have been a bit unconventional, but that’s what the birthday person requested. The food arrived hot and absolutely delicious! We savored Hungarian goulash, sweet and sour fish, potato pancakes, pierogies, and even the arugula salad was fantastic. We had concerns about portion sizes beforehand, but the dishes were overflowing with mouthwatering food. We will definitely be ordering from Alen again!
