There is NO False Advertising here ... The Full Belly Deli (FBD) gives you just that by the time you leave. This place opened just about the time Alonnie & I moved to RI but now that we are back it has become one of our Favorite spots to go when we want a deli sandwich & some soup.
Johnathan (owner/operator) only uses Boar's Head products for his sandwiches and his soups, salads and cookies are made from scratch by him daily. FBD has the standard deli sandwiches but they also have a few unique signature creations that are always worth a try.
This particular day Alonnie and I were just in for a quick bit so we shared a C.E.O. (see the description above) a bag of chips and a Boylan Cream Soda.
Johnathan was there and we chatted while our sandwich was made fresh, right in front of us. His friendly staff works quickly to prepare each sandwich to order. There is a personal touch, a feeling that your more than just a sale, more than just a dollar sign. The day we were there it was getting close to 3pm (closing time on a Saturday) but no one was turned away at closing time, and no one was rushed out after 3pm, that's not the way FBD conducts business.
When asked if Johnathan had thought about FBD franchising out and the response was simple ... not interested; this level of homemade quality is a hands on process, with a lot of "by memory" recipes that couldn't be easily mass produced, then shipped and still ensure the same consistent high standards. I would have to agree, FBD is a Unique place to eat because it is just that one-of-a-kind.
As the old joke goes : How do you get to a Franchised Deli? Subway.
Not sure how old that joke is ... or if it is even a joke, but you get my point.
