Robert’s Deli

Busy Deli with delicious home cooked Italian food. You could tell the Chicken soup was home made. The turkey Make My Day is my favorite, also great Chicken Parm, rotating specials & pasta salads. Healthy salads also offers Gluten Free options which is good for me. Busy at lunch time so be smart call ahead.

Absolutely fabulous Italian sandwich place on Chalkstone that has been around for generations! I had the best Reuben I ever ate in my life here, lovingly prepared with Jewish deli-​quality corned beef! Sandwiches are generous, appealing snd scrumptious. A great little secret nugget in the ‘hood, treasured by locals.

I just went in to grab lunch, I walked in and the employees are yelling at each other. So I am already kind of sketched out. I decide to order a chicken cutlet. The employee takes the chicken which is not kept cold puts it in a dish and brings it to the back??? When she comes back I noticed there was tomato sauce on it, I told her it was supposed to be a chicken cutlet, I was going to get lettuce, mayo, and cheese on it. She says NO you said chicken parm. I replied NO, that is not what I wanted. Then she starts arguing with me. I decided to leave.
I suggest the owners speak to their employees about customer service and how to please the guest.
I will not be returning.

Way too pricey, a Blt, tuna sandwich with NOTHING else, 15 bucks. Maybe a bag of chips would have made it a little more reasonable.

Same fresh and fabulous grinders for over 25yrs now! The owner is wonderful, personable and proud, as always, of her food! Always a favorite when I’min the area!!! Definitely the best Italian and Eggplant Parm grinders in Providence!

It’s one thing to review about food, it’s another to review about the restaurant. I just had the worst customer experience of my existence. I used to go to Roberts all the time as I lived across the street from them on Smith St. throughout college. I was really excited they reopened (and consequently got the whole scoop because the owner was telling her whole life story to another patron while I waited) and we starving for lunch. I had always remembered the food being decent. I ordered two sandwiches and was one of two people in the place besides the staff (at noon, on a lunch hour). I say the because it’s relevant to note, there was n room for any distractions in me placing my order. I ordered a chicken parm sandwich and a chicken ranch wrap. I was so excited because it smelled really great inside and the place was actually quite charming compared to their prior location. I took my food to go and when I got back to my office one of the sandwiches was an eggplant parm of which my colleague who ordered the sandwich is fully allergic to. I was unable to return to the deli so I sent the incorrect sandwich recipient in my place. This is when things did not go well. He returned the sandwich and they outright refused to fix the order. They basically played like I was some sort of idiot and I blatantly ordered the wrong sandwich. In addition, they offered to make a chicken parm sandwich at full price. No replacement for their mistake, at all. The unsavory individual behind the counter had zero customer service and zero empathy. Flat and to the point, he didn’t care that he made a mistake. In this economy no less! Don’t you want to please your customers and retain business? I will never be back here ever again. In addition, my chicken bacon ranch wrap was terrible with zero flavor. That pretty much settles it. Bad service and a sh*t sandwich. I will never be back here!

STAY AWAY! My wife got me a chicken parm sub and drove home to north providence. I opened it up and it was an eggplant parm sub. So I drove all the way back. No parking, waited in line 5min while they made each meal one by one, and finally they asked what I needed. I said they mistakenly gave me the wrong sub. THEY insisted not… Repeatedly ! We never eat eggplant it’s gross. They told me that’s what she ordered and they remember. I WOULD NEED TO BUY ANOTHER SUB. I was going to at first. But I only had a Credit card. $ 10 limit. So I threw the sandwich out. And left. And drove the 15min back home. Total waste of about an hour, and pissed me off the rest of the day! All for a $ 6.75 sub.

Nice little spot on Chalkstone that is very fresh, bright, and clean. They make their own mozzarella and it was chewy, tangy, and delicious. I had a broccoli rabe and mozzarella sandwich on a wrap. It was great, except the rabe was so watery it was literally pouring out when I picked it up. Good thing I got it «for here!» LOts of sandwiches listed as well as a specials board. All the sandwiches made to order. I’ll definitely go back.

I live in the area so I decided to check it out. I used to go to the prior establishment & let me say they changed up the place and it looks very good!
They are Very nice people that make sure they prepare something that you will love. I’ve had the turkey melt wrap and it’s absolutely delicious. It’s made with a cranberry mayo. Nice place to grab a quick lunch if your in a hurry
