American Provisions

This has to be the best store of all time. The absolute greatness of good food choices and friendly people can really open your eyes in the heart of Dorchester. Sometimes life can be hard but with American Provisions I felt welcome. And the drinks are something even better to look at!

I went here for lunch today because it was raining and it was the only place that I saw close by to get food. I got a Turkey sandwich. Take a look at the cheese slice that was on one side of my sandwich. Miniature! I took 2 bites, didn't taste any cheese, so I went looking for it. The pics don't really show how small it was. Put together, the sandwich looks ok. Pull it apart and It's a Lettuce Sandwich with a little turkey and a quarter piece of cheese. The sandwich was $14.98! No bag of chips, no pickle, JUST the Lettuce Sandwich. I was in a bind today. This isn't a place that I would frequent if I lived in the Neighborhood. 3 Stars for prompt service and friendly Staff. The sandwich tasted very blah.

Friendly staff and reasonably priced. The Caesar wrap and mango lemonade are delicious! The turkey sandwich with honey mustard, however, was disgusting. I wouldn’t order it again.

I've been coming to this place for years to pickup sandwiches primarily, stopped by today to pick up a sandwich to take down to the beach bc I was in the neighborhood. Great food, friendly atmosphere, world renowned cheeses but they need to bring back the Boursin and the Beast!

One of the most flavorful caprese style sandwiches I’ve had, just a bit small.

Not your typical wedding cake vendor, but AP should be! We’ve gone to AP for sandwiches and wine since 2018. We happened to try one of their cakes for a friend’s birthday, and it was the best cake I had ever had. Though they aren’t specifically a wedding cake place, they were willing to make us a small wedding cake and cupcakes to match. We came up with some creative flavors (corn cake with peaches and cream frosting and vanilla cake with lemon and raspberry) and it was INCREDIBLE. Kenny and Kara were so easy to work with and very responsive. The cake and cupcakes were so pretty and the best part is it tasted incredible. It was a really hot day, but the cake was not too sweet or overpowering. It was a delight to eat even on a hot day - I kept eating it even after our tasting. Best cake around!

Great place for pastries and sandwiches! We got the chocolate croissant and plain croissant and they were both amazing. The roast beef sandwich was really good too. Four stars only because the coffee was just decent.

So, for a limited menu why is there a cutoff for breakfast? Avocado toast, not after 11 am!!! I asked if they had run out, "No but that's only for breakfast" I was told. Makes zero sense. You don't want my money? We actually made a special trip just for that. Needless to say my Wife was more than disappointed so we left. And I would have gotten a LUNCH sandwich for me but not when she's pissed and told me LETS GO. Bummer.

We go to AP all the time... the Dot location is cozy and the employees are off-the-charts nice. Quality of gourmet groceries, deli meats/cheese, and wine/beer/liquor selection are all phenomenal. I bought several people xmas gifts this year that were just little baskets full of things entirely from AP. Owner Matt went above and beyond when there was a mixup with something we ordered, dropping off a gift to our home. This is the sort of stuff that neighborhood patrons don't forget!

Great neighborhood spot. Terrific natural wine selection and beer. Try our Grays next door as well.

I love american provisions coffee. Their food and pastries are also great, but when I stay at my bf's its a given we will got here in the morning for the coffee.

Quick, pleasant service with a smile; lovely Italian sandwich on chewy, freshly baked bread

Love this deli. The sandwiches are really good (so far tried the roast beef & buff chicken wrap) and they are reasonably priced. I also love that they have an outdoor pickup window and you can order online. No poor experience with the employees, would definitely recommend!!

This place has high quality food, great service and excellent prices. The food quality is not comparable to any other grab and go places locally. This place is an outlier and is truly superb. Everything is excellent and very tasty.

This place needs no introduction. Sandwiches are all excellent, the Italian sub being the chefs kiss. The breakfast wraps and ice coffee are also excellent. Expensive but worth it!

I dont think i've ever had italian sandwich this good! Not usually a fan of sandwiches but this one blew me away. Ordered via uber eats and it came out fresh and each vegetable was crispy. Highlight was the spice in the sandwich!! So delicious

I looked all over for a cafe that had unsweetened matcha! Everywhere else is like Starbucks - premixed low grade match sweetener with syrup. American provisions had real matcha not sweetened. Huge plus! Great espresso bar and awesome small selection of wine, spirits and lunch or snack options. I had to go for the chocolate covered almonds for my snack on my plane ride home.

just finished our Christmas meal which we ordered from American Provisions in South Boston. it was absolutely delicious, serving sizes were very accurate and heating instructions were so easy. I will definitely it order from here again, and I highly recommend It to others!!

Usually I'm an Italian sandwich/sub guy or a turkey club so I switched it up today because of a pic I saw on the website for ordering. Loved this hearty sandwich and I crave it again every time I think about it. Very pricey for a sandwich but so far it's been almost worth it for the quality of all the ingredients they use here.

Your local deli with the usual packaged items in the cooler and fresh made to order sandwiches by nice people who remember your name. Love stopping by here.

One of the best sandwiches I've found in Boston- the Italian (added balsamic at home) and the farm house (sub provolone, no arugula) both on ciabatta. walked in and took 10 mins from order to check out. Will definitely go back. Only weird thing is they dont have lettuce

Nice little sub shop and market. They have a low selection of sandwiches/salads but they are made with high quality ingredients and look very presentable. I would definitely recommend checking out the shop they have have coffee, pasties, and groceries as well. Today I got the Italian sub like I typically do.

One of the few places in South Boston that has a wide variety of great sandwiches for lunch.

I love a good sandwich, and when I tell you that the Italian that they have here is the best I've ever had in my life, I mean it. Cool shop, friendly staff, lots of college students hanging out or jogging by, so it's a perfect place to eat and people watch.

BEST sandwich shop ever. I'm from Texas but I come to visit my friend in Boston ever-so-often and this is the first place I go. I get the turkey sandwich and it's glorious, but the real stars are the bread and sharp honey mustard- LOVE.

Food is good. A little overpriced and it has that generic "new-Southie" feel. I wouldn't make a special trip for it, but if you need a sandwich in the area, it is solid.

Very very good sandwiches! I had an Italian combo and my friend got roast beef and they were great. Slightly expensive but worth it for sure!

Ordered a chicken salad sandwich and the La Campania which was mozzarella, basil, tomato and olive oil. Both sandwiches had bread that could break teeth... especially on the Campania. I couldn't bite into it and literally had to try rather hard to pull the bread apart. Naturally the insides of the sandwich started falling out onto the ground. I'm being generous with three stars.

Good Kale salad. Nice meaty sandwiches. Chips expensive and not so good. Cool place to chill. Easy ordering online. Had to go back in to ask for cutlery, napkins and get a bottle opened.

Food is most certainly good -- don't get it twisted. It's the go-to italian in South Boston if you're looking for high quality ingredients. That being said the sandwiches are darn expensive & the selection isn't great. On the most recent occasion we found the staff forgot our order & didn't realize until the 4th time we asked for an update. We ended up waiting an hour and a half for two breakfast burritos, something less than ideal in the frigid Boston December weather. Alas, beggars aren't choosers and I'll likely be back in a few weeks for how darn good the italian is.... but with my guard up this time!

I would love to say something.good about the store but the overwhelming rudeness of the employees and lack of any redeeming service to its customers over and over leaves a very bad taste.

I stopped in on my way through Southie. I was looking for a deli and the name caught my eye. Anything named provisions is gonna have a lot of options. American Provisions has a ton of stuff -- cheeses, wines, beers, meats, prepared sauces, meats, veggies, hot sauces, knickknacks.... If you needed a hostess gift, for instance, this place would be a no-brainer. The options are clever. I'm pretty sure I saw a tub of fiddle-head pesto in the cooler and a pot of rosemary by the counter. There were definitely all kinds of craft beers and cool wines. Tastings, too. I was there at lunch. Service is fast and friendly without sacrificing either. While I perused the menu (in chalk above the prep area), two servers asked me what I wanted and offered help deciding, very patient with my ums, including the offer to "tell us what you want and we'll make it" without a hint of exasperation at the noob. In fact, after I ordered (off their menu, see below), the guy asked me my name and what brought me there and chit-chatted all friendly like he had all day even though they were all clearly busy and working fast and hard. I figured I'd try their creations so I got the "Pear-Wich:" a sandwich with pears and fig jam and brie and arugula on a seeded baguette for $8.50. Prosciutto was an option for a buck extra but still reasonable. If you're tired of the same-old, try American Provisions.

Best sandwiches in south Boston.. the roast beef one is amazing- love the crunchy onions.

What makes this place great isn't just the delicious sandwiches, the expansive cheese selection, the unique wines, or the craft beers - it's the owner and staff. They are always friendly, helpful and welcoming. Highly recommend

Yesterday was my first day visiting American Provisions. I called my order in and within 10minutes it was ready for pick up. I ordered two La Campania one with Prosciutto and we were both really happy with our orders.the sandwich was very filling, ingredients felt fresh and I will definitely will be returning.The place is very organized and seem to have a wide selections of cheese along with other things.

Best sandwich in Boston. You have to get the chicken salad and the Italian, they are the best! Also the portions are huge and the bread is always nice a crunchy cibatta. Would recommend 1000x. Service is also great and you can order online super easily.

Favorite spot in Southie, we order their ice coffees and farmhouses! They are always fast with our orders and the people who work there are nice.

Great local shop for healthy food and small groceries. Get a coffee and lunch to go here, shop local, and enjoy! Yum

Yuuuuummmmm American provisions is a great southie spot to grab a sandwich! Their Italian sandwich (recommend extra hots) is so good. So flavorful and exactly what you need when you wake up hungover. While you're waiting for the sandwich, they have a great selection of cooking oils, spices, sauces etc that'll keep you preoccupied. Alternatively if you're in a pinch, you can call ahead and put your order in! On another visit I had purchased a bottle of olive oil. Turns out it was expired... called and the owner was so apologetic. Offered to replaced the one purchased and immediately removed any inventory that was past the expiration date after the phone call. Genuine mistake :) Appreciate then acknowledging and stepping up to the situation.

Great little shop with solid sandwiches. Pricy, but expected when you walk in there. The reason for 4 stars instead of five is that they are very slow. If you call ahead for a sandwich, expect a 25-30 minute wait. I've twice gone in, told them I was here, and had them either forget about me or give my sandwich to someone else. I also once received a sandwich on bread so stale I couldn't eat it (When I called they were apologetic and offered to make me a new sandwich or give me my money back). If you're looking for a unique shop for sandwiches, wine, beer, etc. it's a great place to check out. If you're in a rush, look elsewhere.

Everything is 10/10. coffee, pastries, breakfast & lunch sandwiches, prepared foods, items in their grocery section to add to wine for a gift, dinner from their freezer section... a perfect balance of everything and anything you might need.

Very yummy sandwiches and a cute little shop! I can't wait to go back and sort through all of the amazing produce and sauces they have in the entryway. Great hot sauce section if you're into that. The sandwiches are so fresh and chalked full of great local ingredients! Great job to the friendly and helpful staff

A nice lunch. Got the italian sandwich, which was incredibly fresh and tasty. Staff was very organized and experienced. Great customer service. This store has a great selection of quality beer and wine selections. Really like the feel of the place. Quite clean and inviting. Can't wait to visit again.

I was in the area for work and was on the prowl for something a little above average since it was the end of the week and I was hungry. Happy to have found this place on yelp given there's a limited supply of walkable delis in south Boston. Got the Italian sub. It was fresh and delicious. The peppers or "hots" as they call them were just that. I was sweating bullets but I'm sensitive to that sort of thing. The sun was well put together with quality ingredients that complemented each other. Looked like they have a quality cheese selection as well I'll have to check out next time I'm in town.

First, I've got to know: who makes their bread? Is it baked in-house? Is it supplied by a gentle elderly woman who never speaks, only hums and does so with a penchant for German pop songs? Because this bread is success. This bread wins. The Italian ($10) is what you'd expect - pig parts cured, smoked and spiced in a handful of ways (salami, prosciutto, mortadella) and a mild provolone, piled high with a refreshingly peppery arugula, the run of the garden and vinaigrette on the aforementioned bread. In this case, it's a rustic, dense ciabatta. In this case, it's awesome. Booster: this sandwich had to endure a 20 minute ride through lunch hour traffic, including a most devilish tour on 93, changing lanes like a what, getting tossed like a salad (and sandwiches hate salads, true story). By the time I returned to the homestead, my expertly wrapped lunch lost NARY A DROP of luscious dressing. Jam on it. There are a half dozen more sandwiches on the list, and I'm looking forward to trying them all. In the interim, may I draw your attention to the skillfully curated beer selection? Rising Tide's Ursa Minor, Bantam's Wunderkind and a seasonal Smoked Saison (with smoked apples?!), Pretty Thing's Grampus... it's like someone scoped the local champions and hand-picked their prize pigs. Because, well, they did. Awesome spreads, relishes and condiments, mostly crafted within a 150 mile radius (except for a few Brooklyn sneak-ins. Feckin Brooklyn), and even the bottled soft drinks are Hub-grown (shouts to Katalyst Kombucha and Something Natural Blueberry Lemon sparkling water - they put a bird on it, y'all). Cheeses that pleases and for dessert, a goat's milk caramel, or a housemade brownie? Samples, you say? Samples destroyed. And as a sacrifice to the Hipster Deity who governs my neighborhood, I brought home a Sriracha mustard from VT called Atomic Rooster that's just as funky as the 70s British punk band of the same name, and slightly tastier to boot. Get it? To boot? England? Sigh.

I love this place! They have great local products and great sandwiches. It's $10 for a HUGE sandwich that you could easily share. I tried the Italian which was amazing! The ingredients were really fresh and they piled on the meat.

I'm a life-long Southie resident, and I'll admit, I've been resisting trying American Provisions. I'm old school, not really a "boutique " shop dweller. But I happened to pick up one of their employees while driving for Lyft, he told all about AP so I went in today and I need to say, I'm a believer! Friendly atmosphere, beautiful displays, and products that I have never seen. Incredible shop, well kept,clean and the employees worked in harmony. I ordered an Italian sandwich, I had my doubts being old school but I need to share... i have never had a fresher sandwich! Every vegetable was crispy, I actually tasted every ingredient and it was a huge change from anything I have ever had. The bread was fresh and very tasty. All I can say is BRAVO, job well done. Its my loss for waiting this long but this is my new deli. Enjoy

American provisions is a great place to stop in for a bite to eat or if you're looking for some local specialty foods for entertaining guests. I come here often for lunch, the Farmhouse and The Beast are favorites of mine! The meat selection is also amazing for entertaining, I bring a wide variety to any family event and they're always a hit. I usually stop in here if I need a house warming gift as well. One of the cool things about this place is they bring in different craft beer brewers so you can try some of the local brands that they sell as you shop. They also do this with the wine!

I just waited 35 minutes in the store for a sandwich i ordered online (and received a confirmation text that it was ready to be picked up!) only to have to leave and just ask them for a refund so I could go back to work. Awful experience.

AP sandwiches make Southie a better place. They have the best charcuterie bits and bobs and an ever changing selection of interesting wines. Staff is friendly and knowledgable. And there's always a killer playlist.

I was so happy to find this place when I first moved to Southie! I am a total cheese freak and the staff here are super friendly with an equally deep love of cheese. Samples are always flowing when you walk in and they are happy to give you a taste of any cheese or meat before you buy. However, if you aren't very familiar with cheese and ask for a suggestion they definitely recommend their pricier options. This isn't always a bad thing, but if you're looking for a little taste of something new you don't necessarily need to spend top dollar to do it. They also have really great sandwich options and I am obsessed with the pearwhich. I literally wake up craving it on the weekends. It has sliced pears, brie, fig jam, arugula & I always add the prosciutto. The bread is delicious - baguette style with some sort of seeds that really compliment the sandwich nicely. It's a pretty decent size as well (see photo). There is also a decent wine and beer selection, plus fresh produce and pantry area. If you find a cheese you really love (I'm sure you will) ask them to pair it for you! They always have great suggestions

An Italian, bag of chips and a root beer Ridiculously pricy 18.00! Cute place, nice staff

This is a boutique little store in Southie that has a great selection of cheese, wine, beer and meats. They also have a deli and can whip up some pretty delicious sandwiches. Once in a while, they will have their day old bread for sale for $1 and that's the best deal around. Everything seems to be a little over-priced. It'd be a 4-star review if the sandwiches that cost $10 were a little larger, too. They come on delicious bread and all of the ingredients are fresh, it's just a little bang for the buck. I'm confused with the reviews of "soooo big" sandwich as they're wicked small, and the italian "sub" which isn't a sub but on a piece of bread. It's a nice spot and has high quality products, if that's what you're looking for.

American Provisions has the best sandwiches in Southie! If you want something healthy(all natural) but filling this is definitely the place to go. Not only do they have unbelievably delicious sandwiches but also check out there other items such as: olives, amazing craft beers/wine, gourmet deli meets, milk, eggs, charcouterie boards... the list goes on. I live down the street and go here frequently - Highly recommend AP!!

American Provisions is one of our favorite places in Southie. Everything is fresh and the wine / beer / cheese selection can't be beat. Until recently, I didn't realize that they would prepare their sandwiches as a salad. The Italian salad has now become my go-to order. If you're in the area, you'd be crazy not to swing by.

Walk in and you think it's just a mini meat/cheese shop. WRONG. This place makes sandwiches and coffee. And they're both amazing. Who makes the bread, it's like Heaven rolled into dough and they slice the meat and cheese on site so you can drool and watch them like a hungry pup. The sandwiches are SOOOOOOOOOO big. Yes I needed to be dramatic for you to understand that this is not a joke. I think a sandwich and a coffee were maybe $12-$14 total which isn't bad. I'm going to come back, get a sandwich, kiss the person who makes it and travel back home. Yes all from Allston.

I love American Provisions. Delicious oat milk lattes, yummiest sandwiches (love the farmhouse) and a great place to pick up a few things or a gift.

Best place in southie. I could literally come here every day. Staff is so nice and food is all top quality and delicious!! Especially the farmhouse sandwich!
