13 Best Delis in Detroit

“Oh MAN Rocco's is the place I have searched for in vain until last year when I tried them for the first time. Since that first meatball sub I have had almost every sandwich on the menu and so far not one has disappointed! Today I had the Corner Deli and was transported to Italian paradiso! In case you non-Italians did not know, ciabatta is the Italian baguette and Rocco's bakes many fresh loaves several times per day! Usually it is still warm from the oven even if you get a cold sandwich! There is no better sandwich bread in my progenic-Italian opinion! They are in Midtown on Cass just East of Mack. Try them if you have yet to do so. You will thank the gods!“

“Price, quality and taste are the BEST! I’ll be back again, again and again .“

“Frank's Deli in the Buhl Building in Downtown Detroit has delicious everything! Excellent service, too! I especially like the chicken chimichanga that I ordered recently.“

“Food is great, variety of options from fruit bowls to shawarma and very affordable. Food always seems high quality. Always full on my lunch break easy to get to in downtown. Very kind service. If going on lunch break be aware there can be a line, so make sure to account for that. It does move quickly though.“

“OMG I went here yrs ago newly reminded the food was so good the staff very welcoming in friendly“

“I had a 2nd meat sandwhich with corned beef and turkey. AMAZING! The meat was layered perfectly! The service was amazing. I wish I got the name of who helped us today. Some people really understand customer service and he is one of them. I will definitely return. I'm not usually in this area but I'll make a special stop. Did I mention black owned?“

“Nice Cornbeef Sandwiches. The price is ok, but Please Check your bag B4 u leave out the door. They are actually faster then they use to be. The wait was not to bad. The only real bad thing is they are still old school. They Only Except Cash!!!! It's 2026, Only Cash, Man please get a card reader!!!! 💰 🤑 💸 💲 🪙“

“First off, the food is always good and hot. I called in my order at 6:15pm at 7 pm they still had not called my number so I assume to speak with the manager. The manager never came, I waited a few more minutes and asked again. The cashier then asked me why was I still there? Bad customer service. I’m going to have to try a different location next time. I spent $40 and waited an hour for two sandwiches. Unbelievable.“

“Staff is very friendly. I was missing a few items from my pick up order, but when I called the store, the attendant quickly remembered my purchase. I did not have to wait long as I return to the store to pick up these items either. I am so glad I have purchased these two items for dinner and I have had past experiences where items in my pick up order have been canceled without my knowledge.

Always very kind when I visit here and the store is always clean inside. Lines do get long sometimes because this is a neighborhood grocery store but they move very fast.“

“MY MOM CAME FROM VA WERE ORIGINALLY FROM DETROIT AND BOUGHT YOUR HOT SAUSAGES THEY WERE SO GOOD, WILL YOU HAVE YOUR WEBSITE TO ORDER AND SHIP TO OTHER STATES? YOU DEFINETLY HAVE CLIENTS IN VA IF YOU DO. WE CANT GET HOT SAUSAGE DOWN HERE SO PLEASE CONSIDER SHIPPING OUT OF STATE! THANKS“

“Nice workers, they have a line of hot foods available, they always have my cigarettes. One time I bought the wrong phone charger and they let me return it and get the right one with no issue. They're very nice here. Store is well cleaned and inside food area is always busy!“
