We very much enjoyed our lunch at this deli which was filled with locals. Sandwiches were nice sized - we split one- and the bread is made locally. Delicious. Lots of choices to pick from. They also have a lot of local gifts and items for sale in the shop which was nice. It's a clean and bright space with friendly and kind staff. Recommend highly. read more

Sending me the right order and making sure it's the right order we got 2 sandwiches we didn't even order and the fries and fried ravioli were cold read more

Stopped in today for a breakfast sandwich as part of the RI Food Fights breakfast sandwich event and I definitely was not disappointed. I tried the sandwich with hot honey and it was great. It's a super cute little deli. I'm looking forward to coming back to try a lunch sandwich. read more

401 Deli - Delis Near Me - Exeter, Rhode Island

Easy online ordering. Felt the sides were extremely overpriced-6 onion rings and a cup of fries ran around $16!! Turkey and bread were great on the Thanksgiving but the excessively moist-bordering wet- stuffing ruined it for me. Husband said the Italian was alright. With tip this ran $47.00+!-2 sandwiches, 6 onion rings and a cup of fries- just not worth it in my opinion. read more

Oh man, if you are looking for a new go-to sandwich place, you found it! I was too excited to eat my sandwich that I forgot to take a photo (-5 yelp points to me) BUT I will definitely be going back so I will add one then. The counter staff were super friendly and helpful. They asked my name for the order and then proceeded to call me by my name and made friendly conversation. They stock a whole selection of local products on the shelves, which is a great complement to their house made food. There are some tables to eat and enjoy your food in the restaurant in addition to to-go options. I ordered a small Hot Honey Chicken sandwich because it was a "local favorite" and I can absolutely see why! The chicken was freshly fried and perfectly crispy! The honey mustard was had a strong honey flavor with a slight mustard and was a perfect addition to the chicken and the veggies. Loved it! read more

Great food, amazing staff. If you're tired of subway this is the place. I spend a lot of time in restaurants for lunch. Most of the time in more urban areas. So i was happy to see a sandwich shop worthy of the hill (federal hill) for its soup and sandwiches. read more

Gem of an option for lunch! Also a great place to grab a local product if you need a gift for a foodie.

They completely botched my order today, told me to come back in 15 minutes to pick up my new sandwich- no problem. When I get there- older woman working makes it seem like it was my fault(not sure why) but said it would be a while before she made me a new one. Handed me my money back with a stupid look on her face. Congrats old lady, you have lost in life....dont make the rest of us suffer read more

We stopped here after checking out the Fantastic Umbrella factory. Hubby and I just needed a snack to hold us off before dinner (he's Italian so a chicken parm sandwich is a snack) so we split one. It was piping hot (hence the gooey cheese ). It was very good, fresh fried chicken breast which makes all the difference. It's terrible when somewhere just microwaves chicken so it ends up rubbery. The menu has plenty to choose from including an Italian (which has prosciutto) and an Italian American grinder, something for everyone. read more

The 401 deli is fantastic. They have one of the best roast beef sandwiches around, served rare and very fresh, I almost don't want to try anything else when I go there. The owner is helpful and friendly. The food is always consistent. Some of the best sandwiches around! Exeter is lucky to have them! read more

Was in the area early for a meeting. I love an organized place. Ordered online for pu. Got a text with pu time then a second when the order was ready. The small Fenway, sausage and pepper where I added spicy relish an mustard is 6" on a damn good roll. Don't know when I'll be back on the area but I will find my way here again. read more

Hopefully this can be chalked up to inexperience, but if you want service apparently it's better to call because they answer the phone and take orders before serving people waiting in-person. read more

I love Turkey subs. Love them. I usually want something fancier then a plain old coldcut (and 401 had a lot of great looking options that sounded amazing). So I ordered my usual and they're doing it right. The rolls are key and they were delicious. I would definitely return. read more

Favorite sandwich place for me in Southern RI. Family owned, everything is fresh. Their bread is great, not too hard, not too soft. Eggplant parm for the win! read more

So heckin' good! Spicy fries with garlic aioli: DELICIOUS. abundantly seasoned, amazing (not overpowering) dipping sauce. Fresh. Hot. Every single fry eaten. Eggplant parm sandwich: Also consumed entirely, gleefully and amazed by how it was crispy and soft at the same time. Saucy and cheesy and perfect. Hot honey chicken grinder: dripping with sauce, crunchy chicken, delicious. Add in that there's a shop of great little food-related items, sauces and chips and treats, most of which are made by small businesses or environmentally friendly companies. Friendly staff and reasonable prices round out a great experience. 10/10, would recommend! read more

401 Deli - Spicy fries with garlic aioli fries - Delis Near Me - Exeter, Rhode Island

Such amazing food, great market, it is so worth stopping by! Service was warm and welcoming, nice & easy lunch spot. Breakfast is also a hit, the good egg is a favorite for me ! Vibes are relaxed, take a seat and enjoy ur food. Picnic tables are also great outside, you get a view of the dogs! Clearly I like this place! read more

I have visited this establishment a few times, and I have to say while my experience of the food has always been good, the staff really sets this place apart. They are always extremely nice and one time my son was at the Judo next door and forgot his water and they even offered one for free. (We were in a rush and I went back and paid in the tip jar). Also another time i was heading home late and they were closing up but still offered to make me something. They have a very good selection of hot and cold items too. It is one of the only local places where I can get a loaded Prosciutto sandwich with all fresh ingredients. I can't remember where they get the bread from but it rivals some of the deli's I've experienced in NY. This is not just a sandwich shop either. They offer prepared foods also. I usually walk out with a few meatballs to put in my own pasta at a later time. They are amazing. There is also a small authentic selection of Italian treats/goods you can purchase too. read more

Excellent fresh subs bread is on another level had the turkey and bacon with provolone wife had the prosciutto with peppers and provolone she said it was fantastic. Will definitely be back read more

Hands down the best sandwiches around! The Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich is fantastic. Highly recommend 401 Deli!

Just ordered two small grinders. One was to be without tomatoes... well both came without tomatoes and no lettuce on either one! $9 a piece! Unreal! How do you sell grinders without lettuce unless asked to leave it off. Never again! read more

Stopped in for breakfast and coffee...great sandwiches! I had a BLT + C, my son had a ham egg and cheese and we also got a The Best-O...all were outstanding. The use a local coffee roasting company which was also very good. read more

Love this homie sandwich shop! My favorite to get is the Italian grinder!!! Best part is the bread and the delicious oil and vinegar!!

Even though I live fairly close to 401 Deli, I found this place by accident while filling up for gas next door. AMAZING Thanksgiving Sandwich, friendly team at the counter and an awesome hometown feel. Highly recommended!! read more

Fantastic service and delicious food every time I visit, which is a few tines a week around lunchtime before heading into work. I have never had a negative experience, and they have gotten my order right each and every time. The girl with the black hair (whose name escapes me because I am terrible at names) has always been exceptionally great. As a restaurant manager myself, I recognize a great crew when I see one1 read more

Great homemade food (the meatballs are to die for) friendly service. Everything made to order. If you hate fast food and have to feed the fam, this is your place. It's like an old fashioned neighborhood shop that the locals (me) would rather keep hush hush. read more

Great food, reasonable prices. The meatballs are huge and taste great! The deviled eggs are fabulous so grab them when you see them! Great place to visit all around! read more

This place is phenomenal. The owner Jason is so incredibly friendly and personable. Inside is extremely clean and they have a great selection of other food items for sale. The sandwiches are unmatched. There's a perfect balance of the amount of bread, veggies, and meat and all of the ingredients are fresh and high-quality. I seriously cannot recommend this place enough. read more

I go in often . Friendly staff with an ear for modifications, quality ingredients. It gets a little busy around lunch time but is to be expected with a mom & pop shop that sells a good product read more

My new go to place. Grilled chicken ceaser salad is consistently excellent. Greens are always fresh, the dressing is really good, and the chicken is seasoned and cooked well. Meatball Parm is excellent and half a large is a meal for me. The brownies are also really good - very chocolatey and dense. read more

Shoestring fries are awesome!! We order grinders, wraps, and pesto pasta salad here regularly, super tasty with all high quality ingredients. Owner and employees are always super friendly and professional. I highly recommend!! read more

Stopped in today and ordered a turkey bacon grinder on soft roll , American Italian grinder on soft roll and chicken fajita wrap. Delicious!! Fresh ingredients, hot off the grill fajita and plenty of fixins. My family actually only ate half the grinders for lunch and and had the second half as an afternoon snack. My picky son said "we definitely have to go back there again." And it seemed to be a family run business and for that we were happy to be patrons. Lots of other menu options I will be trying as well! Great job !! read more

Ordered Greek salad with grilled chicken just a recommendation to the chef, pit the olives and warm up the chicken otherwise a good selection of greens and tasty seasoned chicken read more

Just awful. My husband and I ordered grinders the other day, my husband got roast beef, I got tuna salad, and we got some mozzarella sticks on the side. We couldn't even finish the food, there was barely any roast beef on the first sandwich, there was something wrong with the tuna (it smelled off and as soon as I tasted it I knew it was bad). The mozzarella sticks were fine, thank god. We called the owner for a possible refund and he was incredibly rude. Disgusting, please steer clear! read more

Small on looks, HUGE on taste! I was having an informal get-together at my home for my husband's birthday and to watch some football. I thought it would be nice to let our family and friends choose something from a nearby menu as we like to support local businesses. Although 401 Deli has been around for close to two years, it was our first time trying them. We were sorry we hadn't happened upon them earlier. Each one of us ordered a different sandwich and everyone believed theirs to be the best. I had the Philly cheesesteak and it had lots of lean strips of steak, cheese, and peppers. I have to say it was the finest I've tasted. My husband had the meatball sandwich. The meatballs were the size of a baseball (no exaggeration), and he felt they were a bit dry, so he added extra sauce; Voila - just what he'd hoped for. My brother and his wife, raved about the Italian grinders, and brother-in-law and cousin were thrilled with their Thanksgiving turkey and chicken parmesan sandwiches. We all found the mozzarella sticks delicious too. We will definitely be returning the next time we crave some great food that is reasonably priced and that we know will completely satisfy our hunger. read more
