“ Had to come to town for a quick turnaround and stayed near this place. Truly amazing sandwiches, soups, and baked goods. Prices are fair and the customer service is amazing. Not to mention the Groovin music. ”
“ Best matzo ball soup I've found in downtown! When I ordered online, the restaurant even called to make sure to make adjustments as I'd like for items they didn't have. ”
“ Had the corned beef pastrami sandwich and it was soooo good it's been a while since I've had a great sandwich this will be my new spot whenever in downtown! ”
“ First time trying this place. The Turkey Club was off the chain. Didn't even need to cheese actually. Highly recommend ”
“ There is a reason for Bread Basket Deli 5 star after all these years!! Ordered 5 sandwiches and matzah ball soup! Everyone loved and raved as we ate every last bite!! Very cool to receive an old dill and new dill for each sandwich with more than the 5 and extra bonus to receive a bunch of bread ends to make my leftovers as I was very satisfied with half a sandwich. Pastrami and corned beef United was amazing!! Def worth enjoying again!!! ”
“ Haven't eaten at a Bread Basket since '98. Was prepared to be disappointed, but was pleasantly surprised. They still make pastrami & corn beef like they used to! Delicious, melts in your mouth the way it should! Friendly employees. Can't get sandwiches like this in Kentucky. ”
“ Bread Basket Deli did not disappoint!! I heard that they have the best Corn Beef sandwich anywhere, and I must agree that it was the best I've ever eaten. Granted I have only eaten Corn Beef sandwiches in less than a dozen places my entire life. Bread Basket Deli has a number of locations in the Detroit area and neighboring cities. It was on my wish list to visit one of them, and this was the closest one to us. We visited when Covid restrictions were still very strict. Sadly, the dining area was closed. Happily, the drive-thru window was open. There were only a half dozen cars ahead of us. Wifey called the restaurant and placed our order. We picked it up at the window about 20 minutes later. The woman who assisted us was awesome!! She was so welcoming, friendly, and helpful!! As I mentioned earlier, their Corn Beef sandwich was the BEST!! Seriously, it was one of the best sandwiches that I have ever eaten. My wife and I shared it because it was quite large. She thought it was delicious as well. All the ingredients that made up that sandwich went so well together! For dessert, we shared their Strawberry cheesecake. It was yummy too! Very happy that Bread Basket Deli met my expectations!! They will now be a regular destination for us everytime we visit family in the Detroit area. ”
“ I don't go here often for corned beef anymore, but I love their bagel breakfast sandwiches!! So frikkin tasty. Call ahead, place your order, and it'll be ready for pick up in drive thru when you make it. Oh yea - Mom loves their pound cake also. ”
