Amazing sandwiches owner is really great character very warm. Felt like I've been a regular for years and only been twice. I definitely need to go more. A truly unique experience. Best sandwiches in the area.

The Rueben was so delicious and I would definitely order it again. The Cancer Stinks sandwich was not great, too much turkey and a bit dry. Not enough of everything else. The service was good and everyone was so nice. I will probably come try again.

These were some delicious sandwiches. The hot pastrami on rye was good but that Reuben knocked it out of the park. We dined in and the food was prepared quickly even though it was quite a busy Sunday! FYI it was cash or Venmo only.

I moved to SF and still have dreams of the Thorty's Black and Gold sandwich. I sincerely am considering moving back to Boston exclusively for this sandwich. Michael's Deli is a down to earth establishment that deserves all the best, I love this place and would consider being a brand ambassador if that was at all possible. Please go here immediately.

TL:DR - If this was a TV show, it’s the first season of “The Bear” but a Jewish deli rather than Italian Beef joint.Just a classic, justifiably awesome place. Better than Zaftig’s or Mamelahs because it has the soul they are both missing.Michael’s Deli has it all going for it - homey, quirky, friendly with a side of good-natured snark (NOT of the rude Durgin Park variety.)Slightly intimidated by the menu I stuck to the tried and true and got a Ruben which was delicious with tons of well cooked meat, a big super crunchy half-sour pickle and added a small side of potato salad doe maybe buck-fifty. Grabbed one of the several 4-tops inside and enjoyed the classic rock and banter of the kitchen staff while I waited for and ate my foodWheelchair accessibility: Level access
