We went to J's Deli in Woonsocket and it was absolutely delicious and fresh like it was as 20 years ago when it opened. The Gobbler sandwich was yummy with delicious turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. The steak and cheese sub with perfectly seasoned and yummy. The service was friendly and quick. The dinning room looks the same and has plenty of tables for eating. Prices seems reasonable now especially since sandwiches are huge and with quality ingredients. read more

Usually J's is very good but it definitely wasn't on my last visit. I got the skipper and a steak and cheese eggroll. The skipper is fried cod with extra melt sharp American cheese, lettuce, tomato and tartar sauce. This was absolutely horrendous. It was beyond obvious that the cod was pre made, battered and frozen like the kind you can buy at a grocery store but worse. Gortons brand even blows this one out of the water. This sandwich had way too much cheese and tartar sauce which leads me to the worse part of the sandwich, the tartar sauce. It was disgustingly sweet like it had been made with sweetened condensed milk. J's should never attempt a fish sandwich again, you can get much better at a fast food restaurant for half of the price. The skipper is most certainly a skipper in my book. I also had one steak and cheese eggroll at a whopping $3.49. It was actually in a spring roll wrapper so I'm not sure why they're trying to pass it off as an eggroll. It was way below average, small and mostly cheese with barely any steak. An easy waste of money. They have a big menu online but only about 1/4 of the menu is displayed at this location. They also have the world's smallest selection of Pepsi products. A good amount of Coke products though. My last visit was beyond disappointing and a big shocker coming from J's. I think I'll stay away from this place for awhile. read more

Sandwiches are ok, nothing too special. Soups are good. Everything is expensive. However I was double charged back to back on my online order and a couple calls to the store no one wants to correct it. So I had to report it as fraud with my bank. Wish they did the right thing. read more

A great place to get a sub. Been a fan for a long time. Haven't had any issues with the food so far. Don't hesitate and order now! read more

J's Deli - The Ballpark - Sandwiches Near Me - Woonsocket, Rhode Island

Above and beyond!! Made exactly what I ordered but also added very yummy pickles. As always, polite and very happy. Got three sandwiches and a fries and onion ring . The sides our family fought over . Can't wait to order again !! read more

Delicious and friendly, the menu has many choices! It's right around the corner from my home so my kids and I go there often.

Best BLT sub ever!! We love every sandwich and salad we have ever gotten at J's Deli. read more

J's has the absolute best sandwiches in the state. So many unique combinations, and the portions are huge so a single sub is both lunch and dinner most of the time. Sad that the Cumberland location closed but Woonsocket and Smithfield do a good job. read more

Great food ! Some of the best sandwiches you can get in RI. If you're looking for something different than your every day shitty subway sandwich , this is the spot to check out. read more

Tremendous sandwiches Consistent quality A well-oiled machine The preeminent eat-in deli name in the Blackstone Valley, this location is my choice as the top. Sandwiches never miss, nor leave you needing more - you're more likely to eat yourself to overfulness than anything. Service can be somewhat abrupt (the place is a well-oiled machine, but there isn't always exactly a homey feel to it), but for a mighty fine sandwich, I have a tough time identifying a better combination of quality ingredients, menu variety, preparation consistency, and price in the greater Woonsocket area. Waits can be a bit long, but you can usually get in and out (for eating in) in 45-60 minutes, even during peak lunch hours. Valued Guest Cards allow you to get 10 sandwich stamps for a free one - just remember to bring it with you. I could get into some of my favorites, but that would take too long; suffice it to say if the sandwich has a place on the wall menu, thousands before you have approved of it (or it's been removed to make room for a new selection, which they always work in from the specials board as soon as you walk in). If you wander in and think something sounds tasty - IT IS. Prepare to be full. read more

I love The Waldorf. I also love that J's names all of their sandwiches - of which there are a ton. But 'The Waldorf' has my hungry heart. Jampacked with fresh chicken salad, walnuts, and other stuff, it's both yummy and super satisfying. What they lack in ambiance (barebones and far from cozy), they make up for in speed of service and big, delish sandwiches. I've never felt like I had to wait long for my order, even during midday rushes. A lunch well spent. read more

COVID and all...HELL NO. Just received a meat sandwich with rancid meat. The bologna was literally spoiled. I should've known when I walked in and saw a wall of microwaves; but decided to give them a try. Ack. Would not recommend. At all. I can't even believe they allowed the sandwich to be served. Disgusted. read more

J's deli has always been pretty hit or miss. Last 2 times I've come here it's been a hit on the quality of the food but a total miss on the execution of the service. The job doesn't seem overall complicated... take order, make order, take money, give order to costumer. Last 2 times I've gone here they have missed the mark on the order part. Twice I've shown up and they forgotten to make half the order. These orders aren't big either. 2 sandwiches and 4 sandwiches nothing overwhelming or earth shattering. The sandwiches are great. Do yourself a favor and go to the Smithfield location. Side note the prices have gotten insane read more

This is my go to place for workday lunch sandwiches. Sandwiches are beasts. The ladies there are always pleasant. Can't go wrong here

Disappointed. I tried this location twice now since they re-opened and I have been disappointed both times. The quality of the food has gone WAYYYY downhill. The pastrami used to be incredibly lean and delicious and now it is chewy and fatty. The Turkey is chewy and not tender and the bacon on one of the sandwiches we ordered was burned. I am going to go out of my way and go to the Smithfield location from now on. read more

I ordered the Mutual Fund. It was quite underwhelming. For $13.00, it was nothing better than meat (which I'm giving it a rating of 3 because the meat was nice and lean), American cheese (very thick and not very palatable), and a plain white torpedo roll. There was a little Russian dressing on it (not enough to compensate for how plain and dry it was), and nothing else. I should have noticed that there was not even an offer of lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles, etc., but this sandwich would be exponentially better if it were not blah and plain. This isn't the J's Deli I remember from Smithfield (used to be Jim's Deli). Their sandwiches were incredible...this, I could have easily made at home. Wayyy overpriced! read more

If you have never been here, check out the website to prepare yourself for the options available. Also be prepared to change your mind at the last minute because they have great daily specials! Big-HUGE Sandwiches, great soups and sides and delicious desserts and a full deli. My favorites: The Pilgrim, Chicken Deluxe, Meatloaf Parm (when they have it) it is better than a meatball parm because it has more flavor, Catch of the Day(Tuna Panini), steak and cheese eggrolls, beef stew and Steve's Whoopie Pies (MAINE made!!) and just a basic ham, cheese and pickles - The bread makes the sandwich sometimes. read more

I really, really like J's Deli as a brand in whole. They're streamlined across the area. My issue here was that it was pretty filthy. The chairs were crusted with black hand prints, same with the tables all the way around. Many, many people eat in and I would like to see a little cleaner table eat in area. The prep area is well maintained and I feel that there is a genuine respect for cleanliness and food prep Hygiene back there. Location is not bad especially because it is industrial around here. read more

I remember when they first open in the Woonsocket area their sandwiches were loaded with meats or just full of the items you ordered. I ate many of the sandwiches I like the portfolio but didn't really like the thanksgiving to me was on the bland side maybe there wasn't enough cranberry sauce on it. As eating their now after the covid shutdown their prices went up and to me it appears they have cut back filling it with meats and such but still a good place to eat read more

I love getting their subs in person. I ordered for the first time last week online and had it deliverer food was just as tasty!!! HOWEVER it's really unfortunate that you can't order the bone in wings online because they're only sold by the pound. I asked to pay extra over the phone, asked if we could sub out for a similar item... nada. Disappointed a lot that but all else was good. I love the New Yorker, the pilgrim (must get extra cranberry and extra stuffing!!), and their steak and cheese egg rolls are SOOOO GOOOD!!! read more

Great food and excellent service. Every time we visit we get a fabulous meal. Wonderful locations at which to shop.

Mostly bread for the grinders and no meat. Quality of food went down hill. Chicken tenders are really small. The fish is like the frozen triangles you will get in a box. Jay you have to do better. read more

Great sandwiches, huge variety of choices, including wraps, fresh ingredients, meats and great bread and rolls. Not a typical deli, but special sandwiches. Son loves roast beef with BBQ sauce on a torpedo roll. Wife and daughter love the Traditional Reuben and I try various sandwiches. Had a great grilled chicken salad recently. Definitely a place for take out sandwiches. read more

I really want to love this place. It's a local subshop. The menu makes everything sound great, but it leaves much to be desired. One, the sandwiches are mediocre. They lack the "wow" factor for the price. At close to $10, I want something impressive, stuffed to the brim with meat. Maybe change your price point to $9 for a small and $12 for a large? Two, am I the only one that finds the chicken here gross? It looks fake, like some frozen nugget creation an Applebee's would serve. Please focus on serving fresh food. read more

terrible service, I'm a doordash driver and a white-haired lady treats me very badly whenever I go to the place. I'm working like her, the other employees always assist us but this lady manages to mistreat her with words and attitudes. I believe that it is not good for a famous place, where the snack is wonderful but the service, unfortunately, by this experienced woman, leaves something to be desired. fix my indgnaçao here read more

J's Deli - a cell phone in a car - Sandwiches Near Me - Woonsocket, Rhode Island

One of the biggest problems in woonsocket is trying to find a place to eat a limited time. However, J's deli is one of my favorite places to hit up during my half hour lunch break. J's offers a wide variety of sandwiches and they will often customize the sandwiches any way you want. If for some reason you don't like the size of the /huge/ sandwich or you're watching you're carbs, everything can be ordered in a white or wheat wrap. The people that work here are always friendly and appreciate the regulars that drop by. Also, you will most likely see them working at other j's locations. My top 5 sandwiches (on menu): the graduate, the freshman, the pilgrim, chicken supreme, the waldorf My top 5 "Secret" sandwiches: the equator, summer catch, chicken cairo, the goldfinger, heatwave (some of these are limited specials) read more

Unbelievable subs- Super filling, countless options, and excellent service. Today I decided to switch it up and order a salad and was extremely disappointed. I know what you're thinking, "of course you were disappointed...it's a salad". But that's when you know it's not great because there are so few requirements to make a "good" salad. Iceberg lettuce, 8 tons of olives, and barely any meat (despite ordering xtra) later and I am sad and hungry. Stick to the subs !!! read more

J's Deli - Got charged for a salad with extra meat for 3 small pieces of chicken and about 4 tons of olives. - Sandwiches Near Me - Woonsocket, Rhode Island

Love Jay's deli !! very different from subway, they don't have all the veggies most of the sandwiches are packed generously with meats. My favorites on the menu are the pilgrim sub and the Patriot. The pilgrim is a sub packed with turkey, stuffing, cheese and cranberry sauce. Sounds like a weird combo but its actually delicious and very filling. Sandwiches cost about an average of $8 or more so don't expect any subway deals. But the price you pay is definitely worth it! read more

I went to Woonsocet store for the first and last time yesterday. i ordered a small steak sub and was so rudely informed that they don't sell small sanwiches so I ordered a steak sub ans she couldnt even get that order right Twice when she read it back to me. finally she understood. I brought it home and got an overwhelming taste of overly salted reheated meat. My $14 Sandwhich went into the trash. Looks like the masses like it because it usually pretty busy but it you don't want rude and made to order sanwiches, don't go there. read more

I never leave reviews, ever, but I had to with this one. I'm so freaking glad I stumbled upon this restaurant! The gobbler sub is amazing, and it covers tomorrow's lunch as well. It seems as though with a lot of places the prices are just climbing and the food is mediocre at best. Not with J's! Did I pay more through DoorDash, absolutely, but I know how all of that works, it was still worth it and has nothing to do with the restaurant itself. Next time I'll make the 25 minute drive myself because it's definitely worth it! read more

Second visit...Huge menu to choose from so I'll have to make many more visits. Service is fine since everything is made to order. Sub rolls are great. Lots of locals in and out grabbing lunch. read more

J's Deli - Display case of Awesomeness....... - Sandwiches Near Me - Woonsocket, Rhode Island

Been to the deli twice for lunch. Great food selection (subs, pasta, meats), huge lunch portions, good fries and good atmosphere for a deli in Woonsocket. Overall, food was surprisingly tasty especially the rolls. I had a steak, peppers, and onions sub and couldn't get enough. I've also had a steak bomb, delicious as well. They grilled the sandwich, but the veggies were cold (only downfall). Prices are on the higher side, however, and main reason for 4/5 stars. All in all, if there was a 4.5/5 star option this place would be it. Will certainly be going back, food tastes excellent and staff are very friendly. Overall, 4/5! read more

Ordered through door dash a half hour before closing and received the wrong order. Was very disappointed and contacted doordash for a refund. The store owner then acknowledged the fact that we received the wrong order and took it upon himself to deliver the correct order directly to us. Very pleased with my experience with J's deli and will be a returning customer! read more

One of the best sandwich places in Woonsocket with quite an extensive menu. If you've never been, looking online will help prevent you spending 10 minutes in person deciding what to get. Nearly everything I've gotten has been excellent. Yes, the sandwiches here are expensive, but when you compare it to some other "sub" shops, you're at a similar price point. I don't get how some are priced more expensively than others, especially when cheaper ingredients are used in that sandwich. Overall, a great place to stop in for a fresh sandwich. Don't forget to ask for a pickle! read more

On Saturday April 20, 2024, I asked my husband to get me a Turkey Pilgrim sandwich, something I have got before at J's for many years. During COVID J's shut down their Cumberland location, which is what I used for years before, and I think now only has a Woonsocket location. I always loved the Turkey Pilgrim (and anything else I got at J's) but this might have been the first time I've gone to the Woonsocket location recently. The sandwich is expensive at $14 but large, but....that's life now. When I got home however, I found that the turkey was SMOKED TURKEY (which I detest) instead of the turkey breast they had always used for years before. There is no mention of smoked turkey on the menu but this turkey was DEFINITELY SMOKED. Also, I could detect no cheese nor gravy, 2 ingredients of the Turkey Pilgrim. I have been trying to choke down this sandwich as I hate to waste food and money, with heaping dollops of mayo which barely makes it edible to me. My husband tried calling the store to complain and was given a load of baloney by someone calling herself the store manager. She actually had the brass to deny this was smoked turkey - WHICH IT IS - I'm not sure my husband was aware at that point that the other ingredients were also lacking. The manager was incredibly unhelpful and we got no satisfaction. It is disappointing to see this in a place I went to several times a year for many years, but I will NEVER BE BACK. Not only because of the switch with the smoked turkey (which I do find inedible and never order) and the lack of key ingredients, but also the really unhelpful and uncaring attitude from their manager. We also discovered on the same trip that the beef stew we used to get has now increased in price from $10 (pre Covid) to $16, for the same size. I understand that COVID screwed up many things but J's is not a place I would now ever return to. If the manager had been minimally helpful I might reconsider even at these prices but now....no way. Don't feed me smoked turkey and tell me it's hand carved off any breast - I don't know of any natural smoked turkeys running around out there. Very sad and aggravating experience. read more

When I moved back here I remembered this place was good. Everyone I went I got the Thanksgiving sub and it was good. This last time we tried the steak and cheese and it was the worst and tasted looked microwaved. It didn't even look like steak. Also got a salad and the lettuce looked old and it jus was sad looking. For the fact we spend twenty dollar on a salad and sub that we're both bad I felt awful suggesting going there. I looked behind the counter AFTER we ordered and noticed no grill unless I missed it so I think this is a place like Subway where you don't order hot subs but the cold ones are probably alright. The case of sweets and other prepared foods looked so amazing so I'm thinking this place is hit or miss. Will try again but will not order a hot sub again unless I actually see someone grilling up steak or chicken next time. read more

This is one of those "little big" sandwich joints. You think it's this little local sandwich place, and then you walk and realize that it's no joke. The walls are lined with all kinds of creative sandwiches, paninis, deli meats, salads and fried goods. We came here because it's a favorite of our Cumberland friends. I went with probably the most boring choice (as dubbed by my boyfriend) when I ordered the Waldorf Chicken wrap. Chicken salad with lettuce, cheese, cranberries and walnuts. I thought it was quite good. Boyfriend got a sandwich with breaded chicken, bacon and BBQ sauce. It was pretty good, Nothing too gourmet, but it was tasty enough. The french fries and mozzarella sticks were surprisingly top notch. Overall, I would probably come back here to get another sandwich. The guy who took our orders was a little grumpy and scolded my friend for trying to use one of their plastic containers to hold ketchup, but other than that it was a good experience. read more

MY GUYS!!!! Don't let the average ratings deter you. This place cranks our amazing deli sandwiches. The hardest part is deciding what you're going to get. I always ask the employees to surprise me and it never fails to satisfy. NOW, I do not recommend doing this as i am weird and will literally stuff anything in my gullet. However, if you are indecisive...the cordon bleu, the chicken Parm, and their old school Italian subs are the Thank you for being friendly and always rocking.
