The Tastiest Delis in Detroit

Ventimiglia Italian Foods

★★★★☆ 4.3 (422) • $$

"The. Real. Deal.Real fun place to shop in. Get your wallets out because if you're anything like me, you just can't pass up quality. A small little store with a lot of products. Including a great deli selection. House made counter and sandwich counter in the back. I had the classic Italian on a hard roll. Also the prosciutto on a hard roll. I grabbed some great store selections as well. Beef and spinach ravioli, gnocchi, Italian sausage and cannolis. 100% would be there multiple times a week if I was local."

Chomp

★★★★☆ 4 (342) • $$

"We love Chomp! We are here once a week. Service is friendly and SUPER fast. With little kids, it is great, because they get fed quickly. Food is wonderful. I personally almost always order off of the specials list (butternut squash grilled cheese is killer right now) and am rarely disappointed. The amount of food is a lot too! I usually get two meals out of one. Smoothies and juices are great too as are the vegan options. Definitely recommend!"

Beirut Bakery

"I finally stopped in here for lunch and so happy that I did! As soon as I walked in I was greeted and asked what could they get for me today. I told the lady it was my first time coming there and she got super excited and said well let me tell what we have!As she went through the menu and told me about all of their offerings, I was so excited by her kindness. They had so many things that I wanted to try but I kept it simple and just got a Chicken Shawmra Salad and a Chicken Shawmra sandwich. Both were very good and the a good portion size. I will most definetly be going back to try other items."

TV's Deli & Diner

★★★★☆ 4 (260) • $$

"No photos of food but everything we had was great old fashioned delicious diner food! The Rueben sandwich was a hit with its buttery toast and wet corned beef. The Michigan cherry salad had so many walnuts and cherries topped with blue cheese and chicken! But the best part of our dining experience was Jessica! Our server who was by far the most amazing server I have ever had. We walked in as a group of families, probably about 30 of us total. We got seated right away, and she went to work first on drinks then food. Not one single thing came out wrong! Everyone's family food came out together, and there wasn't much time at all in between each round of food coming out. She handled the kids with respect and patience and was able to get everyone accommodated! We wouldn't hesitate to go back if ever in the area!"

Half Day Cafe

★★★★★ 4.5 (174) • $$

"Food is always awesome! Recommend the chicken lemon rice, but all soups are great. Big Breakfast is also fantastic. Anything on the menu is worth it."

Detroit Ham & Corned Beef Co.

★★★★☆ 4.3 (173) • $

"My parents and I got takeout from here. I definitely was excited as their tastes are similar to mine and they are more gung ho on sharing items than the hubs. Sadly the hubs was not also available for this because this place is right up his alley with selections like The Big Three which is a sandwich with three pork products.We decided on three classic sandwiches for our group. The baked ham, the corned beef deluxe and the classic reuben. We also got a large bean and ham soup because we all are fans of bean soup.The soup.is.a.must. This is fantastic. Thick, rich and chock full of chunks of meat. It is easily a meal in itself. No matter what you get here get some soup to go at the very least. It's even better reheated. Yum.We preferred the gently crunchy nicely melty reuben to the deluxe corned beef but both were very good. We just liked the way all the flavors melded together on the reuben. Basically we liked the extra oomph that comes from melty cheese I think. The kraut was a hit though too.The ham was fantastic. It was our third fave of the bunch but still quite good. The ham itself is delicious as was the swiss. We are just more corned beef lovers who prefer more junk on a sammie. You cannot go wrong, it's just a matter of your personal preferences. The meats here were all quality, juicy and tender.To go was packed nicely and everything arrived fresh and happy. A fifteen minute trip and the soup was still very warm and fully ensconced in the container, no spills or drips. Kudos on that. We will be back for more takeout"

Hygrade Deli

★★★★☆ 4.1 (164) • $

"I was in town for business and didn't know what to eat. I eventually landed on Hygrade Deli and was not disappointed! The reuben is nicely toasted and the corned beef and cheese was magical. I'm not sure exactly how to describe it, but it surpassed my expectations! This is definitely on my must-have list for my next visit to Detroit.Service was nice. The staff was cordial and attentive. It's a small deli, so it was nice and quiet."

The Bronx Deli

★★★★☆ 3.8 (188) • $$

"Oh my goodness!! I was in Bloomfield for my dogs appointment and was very hungry so I stopped here and got a "small" sandwich which was BIG! I got the ham and cheese and was pleasantly surprised to see so much ham in it. SUPER delicious-would definitely go there again."

Pickles & Rye Deli

★★★★☆ 4 (168) • $$

"I visited Pickles and Rye this week and I am so happy I did! The sandwiches were amazing! Totally tender, flavorful and each bite was great! The sides didn't want to take a back seat to the sandwiches! I couldn't get enough of those crunchy and delicious onion rings! The seasoned fries and the cheddar tots were also really good! We ordered the Sid and Seymour along with the scrumptious deli dip and those pickles.. it was such a pleasant meal! I also appreciate the owner who is very customer friendly and puts his all into making this a go-to establishment for so many!"

Steve's Deli

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (320) • $$

"Food and service good, but sandwiches $18.99 with no chips. Then they also add a $1.19 surcharge if you pay with a credit card. So 2 sandwiches and one drink was over $40 before tip. At these prices we won't be back."

Original Gonella's

★★★★★ 4.5 (120) • $

"What a unique place to grab a sandwich. It's inside a grocery store. When you walk in it looks like you are going grocery shopping but instead you stay to the right and follow the incredible smells. Baking bread, olives, meat, cheese all of it just lingers in the air. There is a sign to get in line next to the food case., and the menu I. The wall. I got the right layer Italian and provolone sub. Picked out chips and a drink. We are dealing with people who can hussle. That sandwich was made fast and efficient. People were coming and going. Wish I had room for a cannoli. Those looked amazing!"

"Just had this place today for the first time. AMAZING and Delicious - thats all I have to say and that should sum it up. got two sandwiches - both were amazing, I have tried all the Deli's in the area.

Mati's Deli

★★★★☆ 3.9 (130) • $

"One of the last remaining Dearborn businesses that has served the local neighborhood for decades; a true gem in these changing times, a place to sit and feel comfortable, read a menu on the wall and see your sandwich made by loving people who care. No revolving door of employees, no skimping on ingredients. This is the real deal folks. Please keep them around forever!"

New York Deli Restaurant

★★★★☆ 4.1 (114) • $

Martin's Ham & Cornbeef

★★★★☆ 4.4 (97) • $

New York Deli

★★★★☆ 4 (97) • $$

"Excellent food and friendly staff!Met a friend for lunch, and we had a sandwich and a mixed meat shawarma, and split a small order of falafel. The shawarma was enhanced by very flavorful meat (as opposed to bland meat mixed with heavy sauce) which was also very tender.We would eat here again"

They also gave me some pickles on the side. Service was fast and they were very friendly. This is a small joint but totally worth the stop especially if you're on the go!"

Lou's Deli

★★★★☆ 3.5 (107) • $$

"Best corned beef in Orlando. Since I was a little boy, I would always get the Dinty Moore with extra meat and extra Russian dressing. The texture of the beef is unmatched across all of the Detroit deli spots worth mentioning. Can't come back to the city without one!"
