Dee's Deli - Cranston
Dee's Deli
Description
Dee’s Deli is a beloved mom-and-pop Italian corner deli known for huge, flavorful sandwiches, classic grinders, and generous portions at fair prices. Service is typically fast and friendly, with standout pickles and local Yacht Club sodas. The cozy, old-school spot gets very busy and sometimes runs out of bread before closing; some patrons note inconsistent seasoning and occasional quality dips. A recurring complaint involves a cashier failing to return small change. Despite these quirks, locals keep returning for the hearty sandwiches and neighborhood charm.

Feedback
I absolutely love this restaurant, so it’s tough for me to share any negative feedback, but it’s important to be honest. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed a decline in the food quality. The flavors just aren’t what they used to be, and the atmosphere feels noticeably different. Whatever happened to that warm, family-oriented neighborhood vibe? The sauce tasted undercooked, and the meatballs lacked flavor. I was disappointed during my visit six months ago, and after trying again two weeks ago, it was even worse. The fact that I didn’t have to wait in line on a Friday should have been a sign that things had changed for the worse. The only reason I’m giving you a generous four stars is that I can’t bring myself to criticize Dee’s, my favorite sandwich spot for over 50 years. Please consider making improvements before your beloved restaurant loses its charm completely. God bless.
Although they were out of bread, the Italian wraps and antipasto salad were outstanding! I’m not sure why this was my first visit in the eight years I’ve lived in Cranston, but I will definitely be back for more! Have a great vacation week!
This is the best sub shop in the state! It's a cozy spot and can get quite busy, but I have no complaints otherwise. I absolutely love this place and visit frequently. The Italian sandwich is simply perfection!
I've been going to this place for over 40 years! The way they make their sandwiches has never changed. Still the best tasting Italian grinders I have ever had.
