| - So, I'm always on the hunt for a good Deli, especially out here where they seem to be non existent. I saw another reviewer talk about this place recently on yelp, and thought that I MUST go check it out. I can't believe I've lived here for 7 years and never heard of this place. How is this possible?
Anyways, Scott W and I came here and I really liked it. I think its probably the best Deli that I've had since having moved here. For starters, they have a really great full menu. TONS to choose from, and a small deli case with some side items in there to choose from.
Some of the things that won me over about this deli are the following. For starters, they serve Beet Borscht. This, my friends, is by far one of my absolute favorite Jewish dishes. My grandpa and grandma would make this from scratch when I was growing up, and bring it over to the house when I was a kid. It was always a treat to eat, and I haven't found anything as good since. There's a few deli's in Michigan that serve it, but nothing out here that I would recommend. I didn't get a bowl of it here, but the fact that they serve cold beet borscht is going to make me come back and visit again.
Secondly, they have real gefilte fish! They serve it by the piece here, and it looked like it was supposed to look in the case...large with a carrot on top. This, my friends, is the way to my heart.
In regards to my food, I really enjoyed my brisket sandwich. I got it on challah with a side of fries. Really really good, and it came with au jus sauce. I was able to plow through half the sandwich, and brought the other half home for later.
It was also a really a good sign to see other Jewish grandmas in there when we ate. As someone who is not only Jewish, but has a high bar for Jewish food expectations, this place is awesome. I do plan on going back in the future for more, as I was really happy with my experience here. Plenty of seating indoors and out, I really wish they had waitstaff instead of ordering from the counter. This is a million times better then Chompies any day of the week, and I will gladly drive back here in a heartbeat to get more food.
Solid place, worth the drive. Go check it out if you want good Deli done the way its supposed to be.
