Bread Basket Deli

While cruising through the heart of Royal Oak, I noticed this little deli shop, calling my name…read morepast apartment buildings and local scenery. They have an extensive menu to include vegetarian options which was nice to see. They also have many local brands to include chips, sodas, and other small local business products (caramelized nuts, baked goods, etc.)! On the topic of local businesses, they also had a board which allowed local owners to post business cards and event alerts, fantastic for drawing the community together. Now, I ordered a Reuben as a lover of corned beef and sauerkraut. It was delicious and sizeable, a fair portion size for the money as well. The chips were also delicious having gone for the salt, pepper, and onion variety. A solid crunch and bursting with flavor. Among the positives I have two negatives, both of which are not adequate enough to lower their star ranking. Firstly, it took around 20-25 minutes to get our food after ordering. I rarely hold timing against a restaurant as having worked in food, I know lunch rush exists and things happen. To mitigate this (for those in the area) I believe they have an online ordering system, which I would recommend utilizing! Secondly, they do not have indoor seating, so it is a very grab and go type establishment. This is counteracted by the multitude of benches around Royal Oak, though it would be nice to have some amount of seating, especially for those with accessibility needs and those waiting on their food. Overall, Oak House Deli is solid and delicious and I will definitely stop by again when I am in the area!

First of all the burger week place should have had open/close times listed on the app. Second, it's sliced deli meat... you can't slice up some lunch meat a few minutes before 11am. That's crazy. Edit: came back next day and actually HAD the sandwich I came for. Sandwich was VERY good. A little too much sauce but otherwise great. Flavor was good. Customer service still wasn't the best. Took 30 minutes for a sandwich. But I did get a free pickle.

Remember: Bring cash! Used a card, and the cashier had to type it in manually (it was nice of them to do that). Now for the food - We got a few meats--turkey pastrami, corned beef and a "wildcard" (I let the staff pick, and whatever it was it was good). We also got the special spices etc. I do prefer a more of an Italian sandwich on a hard roll, so I'm not sure the soft onion roll is for me. If you like a cold sandwich un-toasted and generally basic with a bit of a twist, you will love this! My husband and I enjoyed the sandwich (split it, and they put mayo on half at my request). It's a charming spot, quality food and I'm glad we tried it. Skip the spicy potato salad. It was bland, sadly.

My friends have always ordered carryout, but ordering in person was so much more enjoyable. While the interior is by-and-large a throwback to the past; the staff is most definitely a breath of fresh air. They're all kind, patient, and make the best sandwiches! I had the 2 meats (turkey and turkey pastrami) with everything sans pickles plus love spice on an onion roll. I'm beyond satisfied and it was divine! The price was reasonable for a deli sandwich at $10 before tax and 4% card fee. I usually go for corned beef at the deli, but this was a leaner yet equally tasty option in an attempt to be more health conscious. Needless to say, I'll be back! Thanks, ladies!

First time here was a disappointing experience. I read in the Troy Times newspaper that Troy…read moreChamber of Congress was hosting a "Step up to the Plate" event to support the Troy School District where you could dine at 12 local restaurants and get 20% off your bill on April 12th to April 17th. Central Park Deli was the first restaurant on the list to participate. The article said mention the ad from Troy Times or Facebook to get the 20% off your bill. Afterwards, save your receipt to turn into the Troy school of your choice. The school that collects the most money in receipts will win $1,000 cash prize. Unfortunately the employees said no, we aren't participating in that and other customers mention this and we won't honor the discount. I showed them the FB announcement where their Deli was clearly listed and they still said No. ??? This made me frustrated. My total for a wrap, cauliflower bites, and a drink was $22. No discount. False advertising and unpleasant customer service. I posted the Facebook announcement of their restaurant listed below in my pictures. On the positive side, the deli is very clean and food was delicious. Their menu is extensive with many choices of wraps, salads, sandwiches and soup. I appreciate you can customize your wrap with a gluten-free wrap and not many delis in the area have that option.

The Detroiter was delicious - very juicy and flavorful, the rye perfectly grilled crisp! The corned…read morebeef is a little different than what I accustomed to in that the corned is somewhat shaved and steamed. I very much enjoyed the sandwich but the value at $17 is a little much - the height was perfect but felt the overall size was a bit lacking. Also - depending on your preference, I would probably order extra coleslaw if I ordered this sandwich again, the ratio of beef to slaw was a bit lacking. The cream of broccoli was a nice accompaniment to the sandwich but was kind of salty and a bit on the starchy side. Overall - definitely a good place for a deli sandwich just a little on the pricey side - think Zingermans without the friendly service....

If I'm being completely honest, during my recent week long stay in Troy, MI for work, I stopped by…read morethe New Saigon Market 4 of the 7 days. And the primary reason was their ah-mazing banh mi sandwiches. IMHO, the best in the entire city!!! The majority of the square footage at New Saigon Market is dedicated to the grocery portion of the business. There are aisles of Asian goods such as sauces, instant noodles, a refrigerated section of produce, and a freezer case of all types of dumplings, meats, etc. There was also a fun display of figurines near the window, including a Pikachu, which I purchased for my niece. Using both the Yelp app and recommendations from locals, they told me this place serves up legit and surprisingly, bargain priced Viet sammiches. When you walk in, the kitchen portion is near the registers. After perusing the menu, I ordered a number one combo and a chicken, since the roasted pork was sold out (boo!). And I was SHOCKED that in 2024, you can still find a banh mi for $5. In the DC area, you can't find one priced for less than $8.00!!! Tip: you can order your banh mi's either toasted or untoasted. Get the toasted. After approximately 5 minutes a friendly worker came out and presented the number one banh mi, in a foil wrapper. My chicken was not toasted so it was in a plastic bag. I couldn't wait, so I unwrapped the number one combo and literally DEVOURED it in the parking lot. The bread (which they make on premises) was toasty outside, yet had a flaky and soft interior. And while these aren't the biggest sandwiches, there was plenty of meat filling and pickled veggies, with just the right amount of pate smeared. Again, did I mention (as of this review) that it was only $5? They have a special menu on the weekends, so I also stopped by get some Bánh Bò Nướng (Vietnamese honeycomb green cake), Goi Cuong (summer rolls) and the Xôi Mặn (sticky rice with Viet ham and sausage). Everything was delicious and I walked out for about $20; which again, this would have been at least $10-$15 more in the DC area. If I lived here, I'd be at New Saigon Market several times a week. It's a true hidden local gem. Five well deserved stars!

The bahn mi sandwiches at Saigon are the best 5 bucks you can spend on lunch. It's worth the gas money to drive all the way to Mad Heights. Bonus: you can also stock up on fish oil, rice paper and vermicelli.

I had their Italian sandwich on a hard roll, and I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, it's the best one I have ever eaten. It's truly a mystery how they do it. The ingredients themselves aren't groundbreaking, yet the combination, the freshness, the sheer perfection of it all, elevates it far beyond any other Italian sandwich I've ever encountered. Perhaps it's the legendary fresh hard roll from Tringali's, or maybe, just maybe, it's a touch of culinary black magic - whatever it is, it works! This sandwich alone was absolutely worth the 30-minute drive to get my hands on it. And as if the sandwich wasn't enough, Ventimiglia's is also a fantastic Italian market! It's an absolute treasure trove where you can easily grab some amazing little Italian deliciousness, whether it's a refreshing lemon soda, a unique can of sardines, or some bubbly water.

The second order was a large corned beef with everything separate everything, separate the bread separate both Swiss and American cheese separate the corned beef give me thousand island on the side for the extra price that they charge for the thousand island give me some mustard and give me two corn beef, eggrolls. The person was half listening. The price was over $50. I waited about 15 minutes and when I got my order, I looked at it and they had done exactly what I told them not to do on the sandwich that I asked for everything to be separate because I don't like soggy bread so I wanted to keep my bread separate. I wanted to keep my onion roll separate so I could toast it when I got home, but they gave it to me full sandwich bread on top of everything and when I let them know that they started talking back at me and as I was trying to tell them what they did wrong they weren't listening and they walked away. I hear ya, see how can you hear me if you're walking away I was so angry because it's not the first second third fourth or fifth time that they've gotten my order wrong and I had to stand there and make them get it right but this time was the worst time because the guy at the window got mad at me when I asked him. Do y'all answer the phone I've been calling Y'all over a period of weeks and you never answer the phone so he just went back there and did what he wanted to. I was so angry. I will never go back there again. Never when I got the sandwich. I had to go to another Coney Island just to get an onion roll to put on my sandwich. It was the nastiest sandwich that I've ever had from there, I had to make them give me the thousand islands that they had already charged me extra for, and I swear, as I have promoted them for being a black own restaurant with good corned beef, I will let everybody know how disrespectful those young people were at the window to disrespect me and yet charge me $50 for two sandwiches. I will never go back there again and ever give them a chance to disrespect me again good riddance since your disrespect means more to you than listening to your customers. I screamed " I am tired of this shit take this back and get my order right now or give me my money back. Never again. Not me. Several times, same shit. No more. $50 for 2 sandwiches in this economy. Bye! I will give them zero stars if I could.

The whole experience was not great from the moment they picked up the phone to take our carry out order. They were short with us and seemed like they just wanted to hang up. They were out of all pastrami. When we got the food, it was just alright. We'd had great experiences at the Bread Basket Deli before, but maybe this location just stinks. The sandwiches were sub-par, one missing dressing. The fries are entirely below average and dry. Even the onion rings were just okay. The pickle was yummy and zesty. We might give this location another try. read more
