Love the place and the food! Had the Thorty Black and Gold and the wife had chopped liver, plus we shared some knishes. Delicious! Just the right amount of meat on the sandwiches, and the knishes were packed with filling. Everything tasted great!
Somehow I've lived in Brookline for 30 years and never been to this place before. It will now be a regular stop!

The food portions were very small, when i think deli i think of decent size portions, maybe i got use to nyc deli. I dont recommend going here if u are hungry
Really good Deli food. I got a chopped liver sandwich and Dad got corned beef. We got potato salad and a couple of blintzes. Very non descript location. It is a hole in the wall but excellent!!

Best place for a sandwich! Any sandwich you get is going to be delicious, and it's a true local business!
Great place with some great sandwiches. The staff is very friendly and helpful. You can pay by either cash or Venmo. Ordered a reuben which was delicious and fresh. Definitely going back to try more sandwiches!!

My parents were in town from Alabama. My dad and mom grew up and worked in NYC and Chicago. If asked where he wants to eat it’s always at a deli. We went to Micheal’s Deli yesterday and I was able to get my dad and mom a yummy , nostalgic and satisfying meal. The owner and staff were friendly and helpful . The food was DELICIOUS!! We highly recommend…
Cash only, but amazing deli! The Reuben brings me back monthly. Michael’s is small and narrow, but everything is fresh and delicious. Michael is quite the character, friendly, always chiding his smiling cooks and digging the boomer music. One day I enjoyed my sandwich to the ancient 70’s progressive rock band, Yes. A live version of their Tales from Topographic Oceans! Truly original, Michael’s doesn’t disappoint. Old BCN news guy Henry Santoro turned me in to Michael’s, so, thanks Henry!!

This is a quintessential corner deli. Great sandwiches, tasty sides, and witty, friendly banter from behind the counter. We enjoyed the chicken salad with curry sandwich, the reuben, and the Cancer Stinks sandwich, plus a side of potato salad. You can get a half or a whole sandwich. The pickles are salty but not dilly. If we lived near here, this would be a regular go-to.

Disappointed. Splurged on a hot pastrami with mustard, cheese on rye, asked for it toasted. $16. Not toasted, soggy bread-think it was microwaved to melt the cheese. Will not go back.
