Went on your web site to check hours twice. It said closing a 5pm. We drove 45 minutes to get there only to find out you were closed. One day was during the week and the other was this past Sunday. If you close on labor day you should state so right with your hours. When my husband spoke to you, you merely said you were closed. You did not say you were closed for the season. We found this very discouraging! We also wasted a lot of gas on those two trips. We love your sandwiches but didn't appreciate our wasted time.

We have had sandwiches at sift (so overrated and honestly I do not get the long lines) and ten sandwiches (fine) and the ocean house when we stayed there (truly just okay) and of course the cooked goose (used to be amazing but the quality has gone down horribly so), I do not understand these reviews.
We have been coming to watch hill for 20 plus years and bay st cafe has always had the best sandwiches. They have baked turkey for their turkey cold cuts and it is THE BEST turkey sandwich I've ever had. I live in nyc and can get any kind of sandwich from anywhere I want and yet, I am thinking

I got a tuna sandwich there today and when I opened it, the bread had bright green mold. I mean, it wasn't subtle. When I walked back over to show it to the cashier, she just said "yup, yup." No apologies. No offer to reimburse the 10 (10?! 10!!) bucks the (very) basic tuna sandwich costs. They replaced the sandwich. No apology, no refund. I'll probably take my business back to Ten Sandwiches next time.

Love the lobster rolls here but the last three times we have come they were closed for no apparent reason. Saturday of labor day weekend and you are closed at 5:30 that makes no sense. If you don't feel like working then just close your establishment. Watch Hill is not the easiest place to get in and out of and if your coming here just to get a lobster roll I expect you to adhere to your posted hours.

Went yesterday for the first time. While the prices were what I expected for being at the beach, being greeted by a miserable, older woman who took our order certainly did not leave a great first impression. The sandwich was ok, given it was on generic, wheat bread that comes in bulk ( I got the carousel). My wife and daughter ordered lobster rolls, and to be honest, and she was a little disappointed. I would honestly try a different place next time.

By far my favorite lobster roll in Rhode Island! Tons of buttery lobster inside a delicious homemade fresh roll! I'm horrified to read some of these crazy reviews about the poor bread quality because I've never had a bad experience! The bread is fresh and homemade! Absolutely delicious and pairs perfectly for a nice lobster roll. I've had their roast beef grinder on the same type of roll there before and it's honestly delicious! Their New England chowder is probably my favorite as well- tons of clams in every bite! They also serve homemade cookies and you can get them directly

If I could give this deli a zero, I would. I usually enjoy comming here once in a blue moon but, i was completely disgusting and utterly repulsed by the behavior I watched when I walked in. A large fat deli maker man (maybe owner) had completely shoved and almost knocked over a women cashier simply trying to change the paper in the cash register. He was totally gross, and disrespectful. Abusing his employees/ co workers over a quick fix is sickening. I will never step foot in this deli again, and If I could report this beastly, nauseating, abusive, compulsive man I would. #metoo

Hidden gem in Watch Hill! Great place to bring people because the food is great, the staff is incredible, and it's priced right. I'd highly recommend the Italian or heated up Reuben. The iced tea was also very refreshing and the outdoor seating was nice. Most importantly the staff were extremely friendly and polite, they smiled, welcomed us in, made a few recommendations, and thanked us for our business (most people in Watch Hill are stuffy/arrogant for no apparent reason). I will definitely come back here again!

I'll be very sorry when the season ends and one my favorite sandwich shop closes. Where else will I get meat piled high? Where will I get such fresh quality meat on my sandwich, with a generous portion of their cheese spread? This not Subway, this is the "REAL DEAL". When you go to Watch Hill and you need a sandwich for the beach- this is where you go.

You can't go to Watch Hill without stopping at the Bay Street Deli!
The lobster rolls are simply the best. Just real yummy lobster meat and a bit of mayo or butter, depending on whether you want it hot or cold. They have other sandwiches available, and baked goods too that always look tasty... but I always go for the lobster rolls. Soooo good.
It's a mom and pop place, and either mom or pop or both are always there. There are a few tables, 1 or 2 indoors and maybe 3 on the sidewalk. But hey, you're in Watch Hill. Grab your sandwich and go eat it on the beach!
