    Geoff's sandwich shop has served some of the best sandwiches in Providence for the last 20 years and has been consistently top quality food. They now have a great location right on S. Main St. right next to Plant City. Tonight I had the Rich Lupo sandwich it was fabulous. If you’re in Providence and need a great lunch right up to 8 PM definitely try Geoff's sandwiches. I’m posting menu shots...

    I ordered the ray defusco sandwich. $2 for a 12 oz can of soda, $3 for a 2 oz bag of chips and $13 for a sandwich which wasn’t that big, it was on a 5 oz round bread. Total $19.41 with tax! I thought it was way overpriced and wasn’t a fan of not having a sandwich roll . I thought the sandwich was dry . I ordered it with oil and vinegar but either they didn’t put enough or didn’t put any and I asked for a side of oil and vinegar. The thickness of the bread probably made it dry as well. I also think the ham could have been a better quality, maybe like a Capicola ham. They definitely should have rolls cause it holds the sandwich together better. Bottom line it wasn’t terrible but I’ve had better and the food was way overpriced .I won’t go back. Also a woman was sweeping the floor while I was eating. I think you should do the cleaning after the place is closed.

    Came here for lunch after Dave's Coffee. The variety of sandwiches you can get here is amazing! It was hard to decide which one to get, but I decided to go with seafood. I got the Bermuda Triangle sandwich, which has sardines and onions on it. Might sound weird to some, but it was really good! Wow! My Dad got the Tunaberry Sandwich. Tuna and berries sounds strange as well, but it was amazing, better than mine! We were amazed! The staff here are also super cool! The owner heard us discussing our roadtrip and started a conversation with us, asking us things like how many states we've been to. It was too cool!

    Pretty, but confusing! The ingredients used are very good, however the execution is not. As you can see in the picture the meat is placed in the middle of the sandwich with veggies at top and bottom. What this configuration does is allow the moisture from the fresh veggies to penetrate the bread resulting in immediate loss of sandwich integrity. Also, due to the round 360 degree cut bun keeping the sandwich together is not easy and after a few bites it's slip and slide time. And that brings a question of why is a traditional sub roll is not being offered in the six type of bread lineup? As for the place itself, it's just like the sandwich. A very clean and inviting atmosphere with a rustic feel of brick and wood old school deli. But when you walk up to the counter that feeling fades quickly. The first thing that you notice is the number of people working behind it. I counted seven and was ready to count the number of seats in the place because after standing in front of two employees directly under the "order here" sign for several minutes no one was taking my order. The funny part of this is that the person who took my order was also the person to make the sandwich and the guy to ring me out. So what are the other six people are up to? Who cares? If you can get people to pay $11.86 for a bulky roll sandwich with no shortage of takers they can take a knee all day long! Overall not a terrible experience, but it could have been terrific!

    - Below average experience with the person at the counter taking the order. Had to repeat my order thrice for her to understand what i was saying. -the sandwich itself was very underwhelming. The flavors clashed. They didn’t toast the whole wheat bread and it was extremely soggy and falling apart when i got my order.

    Wanted to love a place with lots of fun sandwiches, sadly Geoffs disappoints. Underwhelming flavors. Lass than average employee engagement. We had turkey with cranberry, and Kevorkian. We asked for heated, and both sandwiches came cold. Lots of signs for fries, machine was broken. A promise of big flavors lacks delivery. Staff cleaning the patios was attentive a day welcoming.

    We visited Geoff’s Superlative Sandwiches for the first time today. We got there at a time when the restaurant wasn’t busy, so we were waited on right away. The staff was friendly and did a good job. The place has a laid back vibe, with industrial fixtures and a full-wall chalk menu, with plenty of options. We ordered “The Juggs” which was among the choices in the “customer favorite” section of the menu. It’s a hot turkey, bacon, and cheddar with cranberry and shedds sauce on your choice of bread; which in our case was a superlative roll. The sandwich had good flavor. The portion size wasn’t skimpy, but it wasn’t “generous” either... average portion size I guess. We rounded it out with a bag of kettle cooked chips and an IBC root beer. Another thing about Geoff’s that’s pretty cool, is that they have free pickles... a barrel in the middle of the restaurant with tongs and deli paper for self serve on those. Overall a great experience! Will be back again for sure to try something else from their giant menu!

    The expansive menu took a while to navigate prior to ordering but we finally ended up with three that we decided on. The staff was very friendly and inviting. Ordering was easy. Everything was handcrafted and the ingredients were fresh. There really wasn't much value as the portions were less than expected on both the sandwiches and fries. The sandwiches took a bit longer to make than the usual sandwich shop, but we had to wait even longer for the fries. They should've came out at the same time given the wait. Also, we were promised pickles and they weren't given to us. We had to ask for them. The atmosphere is great but if you're hungry and looking for value I would look elsewhere.

    Friendly service and people. Not huge, but definitely solid sandwiches. Aesthetically pleasing environment and very clean. Man at the counter gave me and my gf a free bottle of Sumol! Will definitely be coming back in the future

    Hands down my new favorite spot in Providence. Me and my girlfriend went here twice and both times the sandwiches have been beyond amazing. The mind and the ability to make these sandwiches of who owns this place, this guy has amazing taste buds. I definitely recommend going here at least five times a week lol. Seriously though a very very good sandwich place

    Honestly, this was the best spot to hit between shifts while working next door. Not only do they have an extensive menu, but they’re really accommodating if you want to make any modifications. The service is a bit on the slower side, even when it does not seem super packed, but it’s worth the wait. Piled high with meats or stacked with veggies, the subs do not disappoint. The tables are okay, clean and efficient, but not super fancy. Also a great spot for game night that the escape room next door hosts every few weeks. As weird as it sounds, I recommend getting a Bob Colona — peanut butter and cheese with bacon? Delicious, but maybe only good to limit to once a year.

    Superlative indeed. One of the best sandwich shops in the east coast. If you visit RI, this the place to go to for lunch. The sandwiches are as interesting as their names. The delicious pickles are free. We got ours sandwiches and sat outside overlooking the waters. The manager (or owner) walked us over to our spot and then brought us the free pickles. Excellent experience with the food and service. This place is a must visit.

    Best sandwiches been a customer since 80's. Love all the names of them. Highly suggest you give them a try.

    We had ordered about 8 sandwiches and not one was less than perfect! Everything tasted fresh and delicious! We also tried a variety of the chips they have and those were great as well! Also all of the sandwiches come with a pickle! The pickle was cold fresh and delicious! We will definitely be coming back for more of our group lunches at work!

    I would upload a pic of my Salmon Dave sandwich on GF bread, but I devoured it as usual. If Geoff's isn't too busy (cuz it's so good), I love to sit and listen to the 70s music. They've always been super friendly to me. And good fries and pickles, too!

    I went to this spot all of the time when I was in college at JWU (2007-2010) and they were at a different location. The sandwiches never disappoint and are huge! I even once dropped half of mine on the floor accidentally 😭 and they made me a whole new sandwich! Truly amazing! The Providence Monthly is always my favorite and the pickles make it an even better experience! I come back for a sandwich whenever I’m in town visiting.

    Easily my favorite spot for sandwiches. Massive menu with artful combinations for sandwiches - everything I’ve tried has been great. The Chicken George is the best take on a chicken salad sandwich I’ve ever had. Also recommend the Roger Williams if you like a Thanksgiving sandwich.

  • 5/5 Ben I. 1 year ago on Google
    Delicious sandwich as always! I got the Bob Tombelson, which was delicious with ham, turkey, swiss, cranberry and sheds sauce. I do have to note that the (free!) pickles had a very hard skin this time around, which was weird.

    Honestly, Geoff’s used to be the spot. Great pickles, phenomenal sandwiches, decent prices. Within the last 1 or 2 years they have declined significantly in quality and prices have practically doubled. Very disappointing to see they are no longer the premium sandwich shop they once were.

    SuperAwesome sandwiches of 90 types with great taste. Will be back for a proper sandwich. Part of my food tour!

  • 5/5 Derrick F. 1 year ago on Google
    There's no lack of sandwich options around RI, but Geoff's has no problem standing out. From typical deli classics to creative originals. There's a ton of awesome options. Prices are less than a lot of other spots too. Give it a try!

    It was a pleasure to feature Julianna on Episode #57 of Rhode Island Business Spotlight! Tremendous success story, and the epitome of an old school family business! The best, the best!

    Person taking orders not very friendly or welcoming. Ordered The Juggs today but did not get bacon on my sandwich like the description says. Very disappointing for such an expensive sandwich shop.
