Jesse’s NY System

Great deli subs and sandwiches from an old restaurant. Very inexpensive prices and food comes out fast. The guy working there is very friendly and talkative. The place is worn but it just adds to the charm. Looking for a gourmet paces then keep looking cuz this isn’t it. But if you want great food at low prices then this is it!

Nothing wrong with the food. Plain, good, made to order meals available.
I was somewhat appalled at the sad, worn interior. The walls were scuffed, and yellowed (cooking grease?). The vinyl on some of the chairs was ripped. Apparently one counter needed repairs and was replaced, but not the other, so they did not match. There must be a lack of storage space also, as evidenced by the stack of cartons in the corner.
Service was fine as our waitress was pleasant, cheery, and helpful.

Jesse’s has definitely seen a few years, perhaps even a few decades. I don’t know for sure but I suspect this is the type of place that has had other names in the past but still never really changes.
The décor is definitely old diner. Some archaic diner stools along the counter and a few tables filling up the rest of the inside. Even an old picnic table outside for those who want to watch the traffic go by while they eat.
The menu is also old diner. The usual breakfast stuff and then various sandwiches, burgers, some specials and of course the infamous NY system wiener that Rhode Island is known for but I suspect few native Rhode Islanders ever really had.
This is the type of place that gets repeat customers and everyone seems to know everyone else. You should know exactly what to expect when going into a diner like this because they have been doing the same thing for a long, long time.
