J’s Deli

Always a favorite of mine. One of the best samdwitch shops in Rhode Island. Only downside is that every samdwitch is amazing s you can never choose!

This place is the bomb. Great sandwiches. If you get near here its worth a stop. A little bit pricey but worth it.

Gave them another try… this time a pastrami… they use cheap meat an charged us an extra buck for swiss cheese… so a nearly $ 10 sammich that at most places comes with cheese, GRILLED for 8 bucks… someone want to tell me how this place is still a good deal?
Employees here seem miserable and after a few brushes with ownership I understand.
Whining on the radio about how you can’t find workers? Surprised you keep customers at all.

Before today j’s deli use to be the spot. The environment was good and the food was better. Today my friends and I enter and the store in Smithfield to get one of the well know subs. After a carefully choosing the perfect sandwich and placing our order the lady behind the counter informed us that they were all out of sub rolls. The first question that comes to mind is how’s does a sandwich place run out of rolls. Not to mention the gentleman who had ordered after us walked out because of the unbearable wait. When we return to the residence we also noticed the the fries we completely soggy and under cooked. Not your best work j’s and just so we’re clear today was highly disappointing.

Ordered The Portfolio. Hot pastrami with bacon, blue cheese and hot sauce. The sandwich was huge. The bread was really good, nice and soft. I like soft rolls. The pastrami was quite salty. Overall it was good and I will definitely try it again.

This location makes me grateful for and aware of how spoiled I am at the Cumberland location.
First of all, it’s quite small compared to the Cumberland J’s. This means a little bit of a tight fit if you’re dining in, as well as less options regarding their prepared foods section. It isn’t located on a super busy road so while it is next door to a gas station and other businesses, there is never an issue with parking. The service can also be a little impolite at times. I know my favorites, and at this location I don’t typically try anything new. Now while small, J’s is a chain so I expect my lunch to taste the same no matter where I get it, but personally I find the sandwiches here to be a little less on par. But it’s still a J’s, and J’s is never bad!

My friends rave about J’s Deli. We finally went as a big group.
If you can’t find a sandwich you’ll like, then you my friend are VERY picky. There’s dozens of sandwiches to choose from plus you can create your own.
I was in the mood for a BLT. The bacon was nice and crispy, plenty of mayo, and the white toast was crunchy and warm. My friends got a variety of sandwiches. No one left hungry or sad!
The cashiers are super nice and the food comes out pretty quick!

Really extraordinary sandwich selection. It’s a hot spot for many local college students as well as many local businesses.
Try the Rocky Balboa or the Pilgrim. 2 of my favorites and sure to please.
If you’re in the mood for a good old fashion sandwich give J’s a try. You won’t be disappointed.

This place always has awesome food

I’ve been frequenting this J’s Deli location ever since my college days. When my stomach is rumbling and I’m in the mood for a delicious sandwich, J’s is usually the first place that comes to mind.
What I’ve always appreciated about J’s is that they make tasty sandwiches that are very generous in portion size and quite reasonable in price. I can normally eat half for lunch and then have the other half for dinner… their slogan is definitely true, «It’s not just a sandwich, it’s a meal!» The other thing I also enjoy is they offer a wide variety of sandwiches to choose from. There are deli classics, as well as various different specialty ones that they will rotate in. While not featured as a regular on the menu, my favorite over the years has been the Brahma Bull (shaved steak, sliced buffalo chicken, hot sauce and peppercorn ranch served on a toasted torpedo roll)…in my mind, it’s true sandwich perfection.
A local spot with delicious, large portions and a friendly staff that works on getting your order served to you in a timely manner. If you enjoy a good sandwich but are sick of your typical run of the mill franchise chain options, then you should definitely swing by J’s sometime and give them a try.

J’a is a favorite sub shop for most that I know. But I like to go here for their breakfast sandwiches. A huge serving of bacon, egg and cheese grilled in the morning gets me fueled up for the day. For $ 3.23 you can’t go wrong. Make sure call it in ahead so you can be in and out!

So, this place is a 4-​star joint; however, the service makes it a 5-​star experience. I occasionally visit the Woonsocket location during lunch at work given its proximity to our office. However, due the recent, well-​publicized challenges the owner has in keeping his locations adequately staffed, the Woonsocket location is temporarily (we hope!) closed.
The owner was manning the register today in Smithfield and he was the epitome of lightning quick, friendly service. This place was slammin’ busy and everyone behind the counter as treating the customers like the valued part of the J’s business they are.
I hope Jim gets some folks to re-​open the Woonsocket location again but, in the meantime, I am more than happy to call the Smithfield J’s «home.»

Good Sandwiches
Small local chain sandwich shop in Rhode Island. They do your typical specialty sandwiches with witty names. My favorite selection is the Chicken Deluxe. Breaded chicken, bacon, cheese, lettuce and tomato.
They use high quality ingredients including Boars Head cold cuts. The potion size is pretty large, two people can easily split one of their hero style sandwiches.
This location also serves prepared foods like wings and American Chop Suey.
The place is close to my house and blows crappy sandwich shops like Subway and Quiznos away.
Big fan of Jay’s
Thanks

Good spot. Endless options. Ring of fire is my go to sandwich. Only issue I have is the portion. Large sub is way too much and a half sandwich is not enough. And it’s not much of a discount for a half sandwich.

I can’t believe I’m writing this. But I tried to call J’s to give them a chance to make it right but I was placed on hold and hung up on. I want to note that I go there at least once a week, spending at least $ 20.00 a visit which is only two sandwiches.
I got the chicken parm lunch special. Now I know why it’s a «special». It looked like a murder scene when I unwrapped it. It appeared to be at least a day old and reheated to lump of coal.
I’m more disappointed I was hung up on. It’s sad because I use them for my business functions as well and they aren’t cheap.

Called in an order for myself and 5 others in the office.
Showed up, subs were ready and waiting.
I was amazed on how quick these people get you in and out during peak time.
Got the subs back to the office and all 6 were correct, hot, and ooooh so good.
If your looking for a lunch stop — J’s is the place. You will not regret it.
If you walk in and the place is packed — Don’t walk away — they ARE FAST, I mean REALLY FAST. Small wait, but worth every second.

5 stars for you, J’s. Not only are they totally short staffed right now, but they are churning out huge holiday platter orders and lunch rush sandwiches for a long line with total efficiency and friendliness. Most places couldn’t do it with such poise. Also, my massive chicken cutlet /​bbq/​bacon/​cheddar grinder is damn tasty as always.

Everything you want in a deli near your workplace. Efficient, good quality. Huge menu. Friendly staff. Don’t hesitate. This is an excellent deli!

I’ve always been pleased here. great subs.probably the biggest subs in RI!
They weigh out a half pound of meat for every sandwich so you know you will be full!
Creative names for the subs.
I’ve never had a bad experience here although they are always busy at lunch so plan accordingly.

Fast Service and what I would call average bread and meat. Simple and edible, Subway might be a bit fresher. Sorry guys. I all them as I see them.
