This place is on another level, I ordered the Rubin and my wife got the 17and half. The corned beef was cooked perfectly. It would usually come with a lot of fat when you come to these places. but this was cooked with a lot of flavor. We really enjoyed the sandwiches and will be back soon! read more

Breadbasket is charging customers more when they pick up their food vs when it's ordered online. BEWARE! You are being scammed and they say it's not their fault. It's the websites fault. Granted it was on a $1 and change but you add that up over many customers and someone is laughing all the way to the bank. I was told other customers just pay it. DONT BE LIKE THAT PEOPLE. BAD BUSINESS AND OWNERS KNOW THIS!!! the sandwiches suck for $21 read more

I wanted a really good deli sandwich. The kind of itch that can't be scratched by one of the skimpy sandwiches from a little chain place. A big massive corned beef or ham & swiss or Dinty Moore from a place that has fresh bread smell absorbed into the walls. Well, Bread Basket kind of delivered. I had picked out my chosen order while salivating in between work meetings earlier that morning, and ordered online, expecting a quick in-and-out work lunch visit. I got there - and the polite staffer told me that I had to pick something else, because the item was no longer on the menu, but hadn't been removed from the website yet, and hadn't been removed from the menu above his head yet. He handed me a pamphlet menu - which still had the menu item. No big deal. Restaurants can transition. Change is good. I went with a #9 Rachel's Rhyme as my back-up. It's corned beef and turkey breast as a 4-decker club sandwich, with Russian dressing. Positives: the sandwich was huge. I'm a big dude, and I could only eat half. The corned beef was excellent, the turkey was tender. Negatives: the sandwich was $20 and didn't include any side nor drink. That's like "the most expensive lunch with unlimited sides" at some other local spots. It doesn't fully redeem that price point when I got to keep half to eat the next day for lunch when it was cold from sitting in the fridge. Staff was nice, the place was diner-esque, but I won't be in a rush to get back. Most of the menu was $15.99 or higher for a sandwich by itself. I get inflation, but I can still get an amazing buffet nearby for less than that. read more

Bread Basket on 8 mile and the one located on Middlebelt in Livonia has seen me for the LAST TIME! I spent close to $50 including tip and received this NASTY FATTY Reuben on Sunday 11/16/2025. The owner said they're under NEW MANAGEMENT. Well, the quality of the meat is NOT good, the cuts are DISGUSTINGLY FATTY and the man had the AUDACITY to say that I can pay extra for lean!!! In my years going to both spots, I have NEVER paid extra for lean. After paying about $25 per sandwich, it should be PERFECT! Instead, the quality tastes like it's a CHEAPER/LOWER GRADE piece of meat, and the customer service is INSULTING! He wanted me to bring the food back same day or he would so graciously give me 10% off on my next visit. WHAT???? I ended up throwing the sandwich away. I'll go get my own corned beef and for $50, I can get a nice cut with onion rolls, Swiss cheese and sauerkraut and have a few nice sandwiches. This is how restaurants that USED TO BE GOOD, END UP GOING OUT OF BUSINESS! DO BETTER! I've been coming to BB for about 10 years. They have LOST ME, and I will encourage others to go elsewhere. Your business/loyalty is NOT appreciated here. The NEW OWNERSHIP SUCKS!!!! read more

Price is crazy have to pay more for lean meat otherwise all you get is grizzly meat. When ordering online you have to use a service not straight through them big disappointment. If you get all lean meat and extra pickles your over fourty dollars for 1 sandwich, yes a pound of two meats split but I can get a pound of each meat, loaf of rye and Swiss for that. The Russian dressing is a watery terrible mess. I rate most things really high but stay away, unless you want to use your Gold card credit card if you have a family of 4. read more

Bread Basket - That's one sandwich of a pound, but the original is not that much cheaper. Add in all added expenses and your at a $40 sandwich. - Delis Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

Terrible. Won't go back. You will literally choke to death on the corned beef. It is so dry. Paid extra for grilled onion roll. Not grilled at all. They must have new management or something. Don't think they even cook in the store anymore like they used to. Just heat up. Not good. read more

Went to this place on a recommendation from a friend. We ordered the #12 and 2 corned beef egg rolls . I thought it was pretty good the sandwich was stacked , but those egg rolls were to die for. If I wasn't stuffed I would have ordered more of them . We sat inside at the booth Service was good , but it definitely needed some updating in my opinion, but hey if people keep going I guess you don't have to do a thing if the food is consistent. If in the area id recommend trying it out read more

Not the same as previous experiences ... Must be under new management... Food was horrible #notasatisfiedcustomer

I had the Pastrami on rye. It was fantastic. No condiments required. The pastrami was tender with minimal fat and a lot flavor. Sliced thin. I had the original and it was the perfect amount of meat. I'll be back. read more

I live an hour plus from Bread Basket deli Livonia, 11320 Middlebelt Rd. I order from them regularly and usually receive what I've ordered. However, lately that has not been the case. When I've previously had an issue, it's been resolved amicably which is why I've remained a customer until recently. I have had to return orders which were incorrect or incomplete. I recently ordered three Lg #17 and 1/2 corned beef and coleslaw sandwiches. I checked the order, and it appeared to be what was ordered. However, upon taking the sandwiches out they were regular size sandwiches instead of the large sandwiches ordered. I thought I'd call and get it resolved. Not the case, the person who answered claimed they were the person who made the sandwiches and that was final. Okay not true, it's disappointing this matter was not resolved mutually but I won't patronize this location again. read more

Have been enjoying their sandwiches for 30 years. Had one today and it will be the last. Why change the bread, why change the pickles? The meat was not juicy or warm. Asked for grilled...barely hit the flat top. If you cut corners, expect to lose customers. Will have to head north to southfield or west Bloomfield for a good deli. read more

Got a corned beef sandwich today . Got home to eat it and it WAS THE DRIEST sandwich corned Beef i ever had !!! Waiting for owner call me back on my complaint lol will see read more

Some places do not care if you're a satisfied customer or not. Bread basket in Livonia is one of those places. I reached out to the manager but he has not had the courtesy to reply back. I ordered 2 sandwiches with sauce on the side. I asked for extra sauce on the side. I was very specific in stating what I wanted. I got home and the both sandwiches were drenched with sauce. I had to drive all the way back to Livonia to get the order corrected. I was told the manager would be in the next day if I wanted to talk to him. I have called a few times but he is NEVER there. I sent a message to him but apothecary doesn't care because I have not received a response. Also, they changed their pickles. They used to give you new dill and old dill wrapped up. Now, they give you just plain dill pickles. NOT GOOD AT ALL! anyway, I won't be going back there. I will not go somewhere where they don't care if you're a happy customer or not!!! read more

Love this place. I have been totally spoiled by the Corned Beef so that is what I always order. The Reubens are to die for. I've never had a better Reuben anywhere - so don't waste your time trying someplace else. Actually going there after work today for another! read more

Best Reuben in the Detroit area I have found so far. Seems a far cry from some of the better delis in NY area though.

Over $20 for a single sandwich that wasn't even made the way I requested for it to be made. Rude staff. Will not return do not recommend

Highly recommend this sandwich shop. I came here for a pastrami sandwich and it definitely hit the spot. Pastrami was tender and juicy. Sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection. They also gave me some pickles on the side. Service was fast and they were very friendly. This is a small joint but totally worth the stop especially if you're on the go! read more

First time there had high hopes. Ordered a 9oz corn beef on onion roll with no cheese. The bread fell apart reminded me of gluten free bread. The corn beef was stacked but it was bone dry which made it hard to swallow. Good thing I had the dressing because the meat just was that, dry meat no juice/flavor what so ever. read more

Seriously? Over $20 for a sandwich and a pickle? Food is ok but not worth price. Owner is beyond rude! The windows you can,t tell if this dump is open or not. Better choices elsewhere with much nicer people! read more

Paid 20.00 for salad did not get dressing and owner was rude when brought to his attention the cheese was large slices he the owner said you didn't ask for it to be chopped...beware read more

Sometimes the corn beef is ok but they are EXTREMELY slow and for the price it is definitely NOT WORTH IT. When they give you inedible garbage all they will say is sorry. Not "let me make it right" just F off. I've been going there 2 times a week for two years and all I get if O sorry hun. Bullshit read more

Bread Basket - Slimes, burnt garbage that they call pastrami. Wtf - Delis Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

Food? Excellent. Service? Meh. I've been coming here for years and years because the food is always good. My go to order is the 17 1/2 (I still don't know what the 1/2 is about) which is corned beef, Swiss cheese, and coleslaw on rye bread. The corned beef doesn't disappoint. Most of the time I order online (super convenient), I pick it up, and I'm out the door. But I ate at the counter recently and it was just not my jam at all. The inside looks rough. I've been to other Bread Basket locations which are much more updated and maintained. This place's equipment and decorations are way overdue. The people working on the counter clearly do not want to be there and aren't very friendly at all. I'll keep coming back for the food, not the service. read more

Bread Basket - Classic 17 1/2. What is the 1/2 you ask? I've been eating here for almost 20 years and I still don't know. - Delis Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

This place used to have the BEST corned beef. It would melt in your mouth and had a nice sweetness to it. It was like a bite of heaven. The sandwiches are still enormous and good for the most part, but they must have changed the corned beef years ago. Its still a great sandwich, but I wish they would go back to what they were using before. :( read more

Trash! Checked the web and saw that the business closed at 7:30pm. Arrived at 7:10 to be met at the door by snaggletooth light skin man stating the business was closed. Confused, I inquired about the hours and was told that they had run out of everything.. no, bread..no meat..nothing!? Yet, there was a lobby full of people so I inquired what they were all waiting for and was told they were all online orders. This made no sense as you are out of food. I drove all the way from Canton for nothing. Don't waste your time as you can't be served even if you arrive during business hours!! read more

Today at 7:13 called to place a pickup order. The person on the line rudely rattled on that they weren't take call in orders and would be closing their doors t 7:30 and then hung up on me. I called back so I could ask if there hours have permanently changed and if they would be open tomorrow? ( a family member lives the sandwiches and wanted to take one to them and we were traveling from Ann Arbor). Someone else answered this time and answered the same way... this time I was able to ask if hours were changing permanently however he stumbled over his answer and said it was just due to staffing. What's the deal should we rely upon your posted hours or not? read more

Always a must-do when I return to Michigan. I love that you can now order online!! Makes it very easy when you're on the go and want a hometown favorite. My mother in-law does the 17 1/2 and I get the turkey club triple decker. You may think "oh my god those are HUGE!" ....which they are but you literally get 2-3 meals out of one sandwich. read more

My favorite deli for years. My husband's favorite the United Meat and my BB' special.

This place is OK. They pile on the meat. The pastrami is very subdued and lacking flavor. I didn't taste any coriander and very little black pepper. The corn beef was average and should have more kruat. Corned beef egg rolls are good, but they are dripping oil. I will not be returning. read more

Small place not good for dine in. A little pricy for me on the sandwiches so I ordered the cornbeef eggrolls. They were very greasy with little flavor. however the staff was nice. read more

The corn beef was bland and uninteresting , even the pickle was old and brown . Disappointed and disgusted.

This place has been my go to for corn beef sandwiches the last 20 years. The dining area isn't very big and due to COVID it's closed, so you have to eat in your car or take it with you, no big deal. Friendly staff and fast service has been my experience. Personally I've never had a bad sandwich and they have always been consistently very good, I highly recommend these guys! read more

Bread Basket - I saw this plate and had to take a picture. #mrdeli - Delis Near Me - Livonia, Michigan

Honestly it's kind of overpriced. We got 4 sandwiches, one order of fries and one order of onion rings and our bill was $95. We all got corned beef, and there was a lot of fat and inedible parts of my sandwich. Worth giving it a shot if you've never had it but I probably won't be going back. read more

I went several times while I was in Livonia. I was in town from San Diego and it's a must to get a Grilled corned beef sandwich or Reuben from the Bread Basket. Haven't found anywhere in California that makes corned beef like the Bread Basket does!! read more

Amazing food, but the girl behind the counter blasting her political views and views of those on unemployment and food assistance was a little uncalled for. Calling those who are not working and on unemployment lazy is a little far of a stretch. read more

Man oh man the corned beef sandwiches are amazing here. I literally drove from Chicago to have this. The sandwiches are huge. You basically get enough meet for two sandwiches. The meat is flavorful. The staff is very friendly. Overall great establishment. Will definitely be coming back next time I'm in town. read more

Stopped in on the way home from work because my usual location closes at 8:00, this spot is open until 10. My wife and I were very happily surprised that this location is better. The corned beef and pastrami were moist and delicious, and the rye bread was grilled to perfection. I've been eating corned beef in Detroit for most of my 63 years, so believe me when I say TRY THIS PLACE. read more

In the book, Save the Deli, both Sy Ginsburg corned beef and Bread Basket Deli were mentioned. Of course, I had to visit. Zingerman's was also mentioned but since I've been there many times before, there was no immediate impetus to go. There are several locations of this deli; the one closest to me is conveniently located in Livonia. The small parking lot was empty and I was half-convinced that the deli was closed. But I soon learned that traffic comes in waves as the location quickly filled up with groups of three and four piling out of cars. The line moved quickly as the counter person took orders and bagged food. Someone even ordered ten sandwiches, to go. Corned beef or pastrami? There was no question after reading the book. I had the Dinty Moore, a deliciously fatty corned beef with lettuce, tomato, and Russian dressing triple-decker sandwich. The toast disintegrated under the weight of the thinly-sliced meat. While I bear part of the blame - I took my order to go so the bread became soggy, I think a heartier bread would have solved the problem. With such a large sandwich, there was no need for dinner. And if this can be believed, some sandwiches were even larger. A fresh and a traditional pickle spear were included with the meal; I definitely preferred the former. read more
