Today was my first visit to Father and Sons Deli, and let me tell you--this place delivers in every sense of the word. I ordered the Turkey BLT sub, and it was nothing short of perfection. From the first bite, I knew I had stumbled upon something special. The turkey was incredibly fresh and piled high--not that prepackaged stuff, but real, juicy, hand-carved goodness. The bacon? Crispy, smoky, and cooked just right. It added that perfect crunch and a savory kick that brought the whole sandwich to life. Fresh lettuce, ripe tomatoes, and just the right amount of mayo balanced everything beautifully. All of it was nestled inside a fresh-baked sub roll that was soft on the inside with a golden, slightly chewy crust. Absolute sandwich bliss. The staff was friendly, fast, and clearly takes pride in what they do. You can feel the warmth of a true family-run business the moment you walk in. If you're on the fence--go. Trust me. I came for a quick bite and left planning my next visit. Father and Sons Deli just set the new gold standard for subs in town. read more

Father and Son Deli - Delis Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

Great food. The lasagna and stuffed peppers are like homemade, and fresh sandwiches. Service with a smile. No real ambience as it is a small take out deli. Parking is a bit tough, but worth a trip. read more

This place is a great spot for a quick bite. The staff are friendly and the food is delicious. I've had many sandwiches and other offerings and none have disappointed. I especially love the Johnston Gino on the hard roll. The bread is so important when making a sandwich and this is definitely the right bread for the job! It holds all the fillings and juices perfectly and has an addictive crunch that calls you back bite after bite. You should definitely give it a try if you need a good deli experience. You can thank me later! read more

We got a giant grinder for my daughter's confirmation party and it was amazing! This was so huge, it required 2 people to carry it to the car. The cold cuts and all ingredients were fresh and the grinder was delicious. Everyone at the party raved about the grinder and each person took some home for leftovers. I would absolutely recommend this deli for special occasion catering or if you are just stopping in for a quick lunch, you will not be disappointed! read more

I have been on mission to find the best sandwich place in RI. My research led me to this location. This deli did not disappoint. Great prices and high quality deli meats as well as homemade salads. Ordered Italian sub, one size. Bread was perfect! Not too doughy or stale. The sandwich was well situated in roll. Nothing worse than biting into a sandwich and having it squeeze out the other side. This did not happen with this sandwich. Fresh, Fresh, and delicious! One half was just enough- second half will make a nice late night snack. Excellent service and will return again soon!!! read more

The best sandwiches in New England!!! Everything is fresh and cut right in front of you! Very friendly staff . The hard rolls are the best. Crunchy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside! All Ingredients used is fresh and extremely tasty! Can't go wrong at Father & Sons read more

A must visit for sandwich lovers! They have a great selection of a variety of sandwiches and even add to it with daily specials. The deli is clean and staff do a great job of pumping out those amazing sandwiches at a great price. First of all, the Eggplant Parm, now add the Capicola and hard roll! What a sandwich...can't believe they even have any left. I also ordered the Italian with Prosciutto, they use a chopped version of banana peppers, red onions, lettuce and tomatoes coated with oil and vinegar. I'm usually not a fan of roasted peppers, but whatever roasted peppers they threw on there were fantastic. The meats were top quality adding to the flavor. The stuffed cherry peppers were bite sized and I had to order some because they looked so good. Although they weren't spicy, they were still a great treat. Oh Yeah, do yourself a favor and go next door to the bakery to grab some of those pizza bites to go. read more

Sandwich was good just a little wimpy on the meat for a $16 sandwich. Great customer service and was quickly made but just lacking for what you pay. Will definitely try again hopefully next time it's a bit more filling. read more

Father and Son Deli - Chicken cutlet BLT - Delis Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

Asked for a veal parm sandwich I asked is it a veal cutlet or a veal patty she said it was a cutlet when I saw her make the sandwich I noticed the patties were all the same sice that's when I new I got screwed it was garbage never again read more

I've eaten here a few times, and even though I hate the small parking lot, I'll forgive them for that because I'm a good driver and I can handle my business out there without getting hit or being hit. Once inside, there's a pretty expansive menu to order from and this time I chose The Johnston Gino for my late day lunch with my friend. This bad boy is made up of Italian ham, capicola, provolone, hot peppers, roasted peppers, lettuce, tomato, and mayo. I substituted the mayo with oil and vinegar instead. Whoever heard of putting mayonnaise on an Italian sandwich anyway? I'm an Irishman and even I know that! There is no seating available in this small deli and I find that to be to their detriment. If they at least put two or three small tables and chairs in there to sit down and enjoy your sandwich, I would actually eat there more often. I didn't love the fact that my friend and I had to retreat to the parking lot and open up the tailgate of his SUV and eat our sandwiches out of there. It was my buddy first time eating there and he was absolutely astonished at how huge and delicious these sandwiches were. He's definitely a convert now. I do love the food there and I plan on going back lots of times in the future, but for the love of God, why can't they add some tables in there? read more

Father and Son Deli - The Johnston Gino - Delis Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

The BEST...Top of the List...#1...best Eggplant Sandwich I have ever had!!! Maybe the best sandwich I've had. Got "The Don Vito" ($10.25 w/ tax) and it was just not fair. It was big, the bread was amazing, stuffed to the max with eggplant, super tasty and affordable. You don't see this overall value much anymore, especially since COVID started. This would cost $14 minimum anywhere else. Very friendly service and from the time I ordered inside to when I left, it was maybe 5 minutes. Must try!!! read more

I have been going to Italian bakery for years. I never went into father and sons. Well I was clearly missing out! The staff is awesome the girls are wonderful and the food.....well its like your grandmother made it! Absolutely my go to! I feel foolish only finding out about this now!! No need to ever go anywhere else!! read more

I drive by this place 6 days a week and finally stopped in. Service was great. Sandwich was fresh and made with care. Wasn't sloppy like other local chains. I got two Italians. One with the soft bread and one with the hard bread. Everything was fresh. I will definitely be back to try other things. read more

Had the L'Europa - Italian grinder with prosciutto di parma added. Perfect balance of meats, bread and fixings. First time here. Everything in the case looked great. read more

If you are looking for an unbelievable, authentic Italian sandwich, this is where you need to go. Of all the sandwich shops I have ever been to, this is by far the best in RI. I've had some good sandwiches on Federal Hill but these actually beat the Hill if you can believe it. Try the Scottie and the Dougie. Fresh baked hard Italian rolls and the sandwiches are massive. Great friendly service too! read more

I give it a 1 on customer service. I walked into the deli, 3 employees were there . None of them acknowledged me greeted me or asked me if I wanted any assistance. So I stood there, reading the sandwich board,came to my decision, As I continued to wait I noticed one of the employees kept looking up at me, she finally said let me know when you're ready, I said I am ready, I've been ready I had my cell phone to my ear with the mouth pot toward the back of my head I was not talking on the phone I was on hold with a doctors office. She stated they don't "wait on people that are on their phones" I was the only customer in the deli. I understand during these times that businesses are short on help. But I have never experienced such terrible customer service as I have seen during these times. read more

I lived in Cranston for a short time until moving to Providence and never noticed Father and Son. I actually went (and still go to) The Original Italian Bakery which shares the same building and never noticed Father and Son. Then came St. Joesph's Day when I found myself waiting in line at the bakery waiting for a zeppole in the cold outside. While contemplating why I am actually waiting in the cold for a least 45 minutes for a piece of pastry I happened to notice two Johnston firefighters walking in then out of Father and Son with bags. This caught my curiosity and I left the line and walked in. Best decision of the day! I was instantly greeted by this very friendly woman who struck up a small conversation, asked if I've ever been and offered up some suggestions. I am a fan of veal and they had a veal parm sandwich and a veal and mushrooms sandwich as a special. So I did what any other rational person would do, order both. Went home ate veal parm for lunch while watching Band of Brother reruns on Amazon Prime, and the veal and mushrooms for dinner while playing FIFA soccer on my Playstation. Excellent food, they did not offer up small portions by any means, both sandwiches were packed. Price was fantastic, you definitely get a bang for your buck. I payed around $8 per sandwich, I work in Boston, live in Providence and these prices are cheaper than I would pay in both cities. The inside was clean, the staff were beyond friendly, prices were right and the food amazing. PS: Parking is tight with very little room in the parking lot as it's shared with the Italian Bakery. However, adjacent to the lot is Walgreens which does state it's parking for Walgreens only, however you've gotta do what you gotta do and I park in the Walgreens lot. Highly recommended and certainly worth the drive for me as it's maybe 20 min from my home on a good day. I'll certainly be back again. read more

Thank you to the amazing staff! I showed up to Father and Son Deli and miscommunicated 4 foot longs thinking 4 foot long sandwiches. The staff immediately went to work to get to help me feed 50 hungry people. Sandwiches were amazing! Thank you for helping me. read more

So far everything I have had from here has been excellent! Definitely one of my top five favorites.

Great Deli Delicious cold cut and hot prepared sandwiches. Family business that uses top quality ingredients and old school Italian cooking techniques. The best part is that attached to this business is a great bakery. Meaning all of the delis breads are as fresh as your gonna get. Tip: Ordered a few items from the catering menu, all were fantastic and homemade. Great meat and veggie lasagna. Why people go to Subway, when for basically a $1.50 more you can get one of the best sandwiches your basically ever gonna order is beyond me. Cool local business, if your in the area check it out. Thanks read more

Father and Son Deli - Half of a "Dougie." So delicious - Delis Near Me - Johnston, Rhode Island

This place is absolutely amazing. I called them last minute to make an Italian grinder and they made it with no problem. I needed a big Italian grinder and they gave me a 4 foot-long that more than satisfied my guests. I also ordered sides and it was so good. I believe that this was the best Italian food I've ever had. Not only did this place save my party but it wowed! If you are in the Johnston area you must try father and son's deli and I promise you won't be disappointed. There was no question that I will be going back here and have them cater for another event of mine. read more

We live in CT, so we don't get to visit too often, but the Father & Son Italian Deli is one of the best I've ever visited around here. The "Godfather" sub is our favorite so far. They also have a great selection of other Italian foods and salads. Well worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood, you won't go wrong! read more

Great food. The hard rolls are amazing, definitely recommend the turkey club on a hard roll

New to my husband who was sad his typical sandwich shop was closed while we were home for the holidays. Welp. We will now be driving for multiple sandwiches next trip! Got in just before the lunch rush so we sat at a table - sandwiches were perfect and then popped next door for dessert and pizza chips! read more

Just left here and our sandwich was served on actual Wonder bread rolls... We are shocked. It was legit an Italian grinder on a hot dog bun. Do not get a sandwich from here if you are expecting an Italian deli because you will be highly disappointed. 1 bite and both my mother and I threw out our sandwiches. Waste of calories and money read more

I just discovered this deli today, the cold cuts were sliced perfectly thin but not broken, the tortellini salad was so delicious and not oily, and the fried eggplant right on point! It came with a side of sauce that is so delicious I could drink it and be satisfied. I came all the way from Dartmouth for this deli and they did not disappoint. I will be returning again and again to try the rest. read more

I can describe Father and Son Deli in one word! " awesomelydelicious!" Sandwiches are second to none!

Surprisingly good sandwiches and although I thought this place was new it's been around for a few years now. I ordered the Angelo minus the roasted red peppers and it was really good! They DO NOT skimp on the meat- the sandwiches are packed! My sandwich was really good but my coworker who got the same one only with peppers didn't look too appetizing hers looked really soggy and she said it was- so I kind of felt bad. Parking is a little tight And theirs barely any space in the lot & the line for calzones was literally out the door and around the building! So they must be really good! Overall great sandwich and I'd definitely be back! read more

Love this place!! Ordered Italians for my entire moving team after I moved in nearby and everyone loved them!! I personally order "The Scotty" sandwich (chicken cutlet, mozzarella, fresh basil and balsamic on a hard roll) almost every time now! My wife and I are addicted to that sandwich! If you like stuffed artichokes (when they have them) definitely give them a try too! Staff is also VERY friendly and fast!! So great (and consistent)!! read more

Italian Tuna is the bomb here, choice of hard or soft roll is welcome. I get the tuna on a hard roll. Homemade meatballs good and meaty with a nice tasty gravy (sauce for you non-Italians) on them. Specialty sandwiches good with nice quality meats and not stingy with the goodies. Nice people always friendly. read more

I love Italian subs. Got them in many a deli. This one was the best hands down. Great crusty bread full of real Italian meats and cheese (really full) and just the right amount of pickles oil and vinegar etc. AWESOME. Daughter had the capicola and eggplant - allso stuffed and delicious. If you like subs this is the place. read more

The best deli in RI....by far. I am a 43 year old proud Italian who grew up in Cranston, RI. That being said, I am no stranger to excellent food. Recently, my wife and I moved to Johnston and by chance walked into this deli. You can walk into this hidden gem and order anything off the menu and have the best sandwich or prepared dinner that you have ever eaten. This is no exaggeration either. Since out first trip my wife and I have eaten lunch here daily and cannot believe how amazing everything has been. One of the last true family owned and operated deli, who's sandwiches put everyone else's to shame. I recommend "The Scotti". You will thank me. read more

Best Italian grinder I've had in a long time. Plenty of meat, unlike other delis that hardly give you any, and lots of flavor. Excellent!

One of my favorite deli's. The food is always amazing - I typically get the "Scottie" and it's perfectly delicious every time. Highly recommended! read more

Italian grinders are great! Always fresh meat, cheese, produce, and bread. Every prepared food and soup I've ever tried is delicious .

So, I have been a loyal customer there for a while now but this experience really turned me off. We normally make a lunch order, two or three sandwiches, but this experience wasn't as pleasant. Today I went in and I had to pay for three items seperately and I got nothing but attitude and rudeness. The "owner" said to me "are you serious?" when I asked to ring separately. I do understand that credit companies charge per transaction but I've never been told so rudely. The "owner" felt the need to harass me about how he's getting charged per transaction and told me "he can do whatever he wants since it's his store". So, I paid for the sandwiches that were not mine and told him I don't want my sandwich and he told me "Good, I am losing business on customers like you..." Now, I am not in customer service but.. I'm not sure that was the best way to handle a customers inquiry! read more
