⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 — Dee B
OMG! What a gem! Glad I searched for a sub shop on Marco Island or as they may call them, grinders? Although we did not eat there, we took our food to go. Service was awesome, and the sandwich was so fresh and delicious! Packed with meat, fresh veggies and the bread was so good! We also purchased a stuffed tomato with krab dip and veggies for an appetizer later! Did not disappoint! Highly recommend.

We have been living in Marco since 2019 and somehow this was our first visit to Big Al’s! We were met by Candy and she makes you feel like you’ve known each other forever. I know we have to go back for all the other yummy stuff Candy shared with us that they have, but I’m a turkey girl, so I went with the classic turkey sub. We brought them home and dug in. I was in heaven, everything was super fresh and they don’t skimp on meat or the veggies they put on the inside. I definitely will not be waiting years to go again. If you are looking for a fresh homemade sub on Marco, this is the place! Ohh and they have a whole bunch of other yummy stuff that we still need to try!

Today, I had the pleasure of dining at Big Al's, where I savored an outstanding tuna sandwich on a white roll. The freshness and flavor were exceptional. The vibrant atmosphere was filled with locals, and the staff's warm hospitality made everyone feel welcome. It was heartening to see the community coming together. 5 stars ⭐️. I look forward to returning.

Definitely a hidden gem. Their sandwiches are 🔥! They can get busy during lunch hours so plan ahead. Great menu. I just wish they were opened for dinner and on weekends.

FINALLY! Good food in Marco Island! It’s been so difficult to find decent food here. We got a maple honey turkey wrap and WOW! Delicious! It was also a big meal and filled me up! I highly recommend this business if you’re looking for a high quality, great tasting sandwich.

Big Al’s Sandwich Shop is exactly what we were craving! Jeremy had a serious sub craving, and this place hit the spot perfectly. The food is absolutely delicious — fresh ingredients, generous portions, and packed with flavor. The staff was so friendly and welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. If you’re looking for a great sandwich and good vibes, Big Al’s is the place to go. We’ll definitely be back!
