We had my grandsons graduation party at Chadd's, food was great and the guests had a good time. He has home made bread for his sandwiches fresh cut potatoes for sweet potato fries, french fries and homemade sauces!! I want to thank him and his staff for being so accommodating! Good Luck to him. read more

This place years ago used to be an old dive sports/factory bar. They have really done a nice job of expanding, lightning up the whole area and cleaning up the bar. The menu he's got some really great choices, the bartender told us that they have open mic night with live music on certain nights of the week. We got the Italian and the destroyer, both did not disappoint very tasty very fresh. We sat at the end of the bar that you could actually see into the kitchen and we had one bartender seven customers and four people working in the kitchen which was very impressive. This isn't a rinky dink operation I think I could come back here for a group event and know that we wouldn't wait forever. Kudos to you guys for bringing this place up to standard! read more

I purchased take out from the previous location 5 years ago and everything was homemade. I didn't realize they moved and now have a giant restaurant. The food menu is huge, with lots of fresh/homemade ingredients and some British flair. First time I ordered the peanut butter and banana sandwich, which you rarely see on a menu. Yesterday I ordered Bubbles and Squeak, a newer breakfast item. I've never had this dish elsewhere and it was delicious! The place has great food, ample seating and really nice staff. I don't live super close but will invent reasons to go back. read more

I became familiar with Chadd's Bistro when it was included in Yelp's "top 100 places to eat in the U.S." list in 2022. It made that same list in 2017 and 2018, as well. Originally located in Rochester Hills, Chadd's is now in Shelby Township. The menu features over 3 dozen sandwiches, and there is a full bar. The bread and sauces are all made in-house, as well. My wife and I began our meal with poutine. Despite being a bit salty, it was one of the better poutines I've had locally. For our main course, we shared 3 sandwiches: the cheese steak supreme, the Italian sub, and the Monte Cristo. The cheese steak was flavorful, but could've used more cheese. The Monte Cristo was enjoyable. I found it to be more savory than sweet. The Italian was the best of the 3 sandwiches. I liked that the meats were sautéed, that the tomatoes were diced rather than sliced, and the addition of pickles. All in all, Chadd's has a quality sandwich for everyone on its menu. read more

First time at this restaurant where I ended up ordering their BLT with chips and got a Woodford Reserve Old Fashioned for my drink. The sandwich was well made, quite tasty where the toasted house made white bread and generous amounts of thick cut bacon made this a superior crafted sandwich. My only minor gripe with the Sandwich was that the mayo was too lightly applied and needed a tad more amount to augment the flavor. Relative to the Old Fashioned, it was was well made with a nice amount of Orange bitters complementing the Bourbon, a Black Amarena cherry as garnish which is a higher end cherry that is not typically served with most bars, and a large whiskey Ice cube in the glass (nice!). The $9. price point for this drink, especially with the Woodford Reserve Bourbon is a great deal by any standard. On the flip side I did have one minor gripe with this drink as is it needed a tad more simple syrup (assuming it was there in the first place) to make this a top shelf cocktail in my opinion. Relative to the restaurant, it is fairly large, quite clean and has some TV's strategically scattered about with Sports program playing which I definately enjoyed watching while eating my dinner. The wait staff was very friendly with good follow up throughout the meal and is another strength of this business. Overall I was quite pleased with this initial dining experience where the minor items I mentioned prevented me from giving this establishment 5 stars. Having said that, this is a very good restaurant that I will definately revisit the next time I am in the Utica area. read more

Recently tried Chadds and it was fantastic. My buddy had told me about it for over a year and I just never went to try it. Glad I went because I loved it. Everything made from scratch. Recommend the chili cheese fries read more

Great food and we had so much fun playing the board games! Everyone is made from scratch. My husband loved the Monte Cristo; my daughter enjoyed the Cato Minor but it was a little greasy from the pesto. I had the pulled pork sliders which were good but a little spicy. read more

Went for lunch on a weekday. The service was great. Incredibly friendly and she shared favorites from their large menu. I loved their game wall and would love to cole back for dinner with my family. The portions were good size and my sandwich was amazing! They have a full bar with counter seating and some TVs. Kinda eclectic. Cool interesting vibe. But honestly the best part was the MOST DELICIOUS homemade sauces. I will ho back just for those. read more

This place is huge! Located in a corner of a strip mall, Chadd's is a great place to eat, play board games or have a drink. I came for a late lunch on a Monday. They were open on a Monday and during "linner". Josie, our waitress, was incredibly attentive and kind. She noticed I needed water from the other end of the bar and brought me a new glass before I had the chance to ask. She gave us space to chat and eat yet never disappeared and was so informative on the menu and ingredients. I learned all their breads are dairy and egg free AND made in house. Sauces all homemade too. Four stars only because there are almost no vegan options. I ordered the peanut butter, banana, granola sandwich. It was delicious and good size. My guest ordered a chicken sandwich and the fries. They were very good and her sandwich was huge. I'd love to see a plant based option with grilled or marinated tofu or even something with hummus and their artichokes. Great spot though if you find yourself in the auburn and dequindre area and service was five stars! read more

Great place actually owned by Chadd! I had the Hardcore Joe...chicken breast with good spices. Their bread is so good! Everything there is freshly made. Some would say it's expensive...but it's all so fresh you ARE getting what you pay for! They could do fries better. They weren't really hot and completely unsalted Good atmosphere and friendly service. read more

Always super fresh and wonderful service. Dining in is always the best. Sometimes carry out makes the fries soggy with their packaging. Definitely on the expensive side for sandwiches but you know you'll get excellent quality food. read more

Finally check this place out and was pleasantly surprised. Food was awesome. We got the Cubano sub, turkey melt sandwich, and a pizza. All were awesome! Good music at just the right volume. Just about every board game, you can imagine available to play for free. And of course, the service was superior. Jessica rocks! We will be back. read more

Have lived nearby Chadd's for years and never stopped in for whatever reason. They moved into a bigger location and I decided to finally give it a try. Went in for lunch. Place was not busy. However, I was greeted immediately by an awesome and friendly bartender. She told me how they make everything fresh. I ordered a Rueben sandwich to go. Had a little bit of sticker shock at how expensive a sandwich was. I can't remember the exact price but it was north of $14. When I got home and dug into the sandwich I was blown away. It was delicious and HUGE. It is basically two sandwiches. I could only eat half and ate the second half for lunch the next day. The price was justified based on how large this sandwich was. Will be back. read more

Great sandwiches. Fries felt slightly underdone, but this could just be how they do them. Our server Brandon was very accommodating and friendly. read more

Pastrami sandwich was to die for. I had the best meal and all of my friends loved what they ordered. Beers were fabulous, super attentive, friendly staff. Would recommend to anyone in the area - great people, great food, great drinks read more

We got fried artichokes, fries, housemade ketchup and bistro sauce, and Hardcore Joes. Such. Good. Food. If they ever offer a gluten free bread, I'll be doing backflips of joy read more

We have been going to this place since it was at the old location down the road, initially drawn in by the killer sandwiches and the best poutine I've had outside Québec. The new place has a bar and would make a great local hangout if we lived closer. I love the board games at the table seating, it's a family friendly place. read more

Always good to, I got the salmon salad and it was very good, the salmon portion could be bigger, but everything there is good

I ordered a Reuben with pastrami there's hardly any meat and what meat there is it's full of fat there's barely any sauce on it for $18 and then they want you to pay $.50 for chips. I would not recommend this restaurant it's overpriced. read more

Delicious food and very nice people. I highly recommend when in Brooklands. Ambience is neighborhood feel.

Ordered Turkey Supreme Sub. Disappointed after reading the reviews. Maybe a bad night? This sub includes dark meat, not a fan of dark meat and both light and dark meat were dry. A few pieces of lettuce was wilted and mushed into the two tablespoons of diced tomatoes, instead of sliced tomatoes (none of which was fresh) bacon was burnt and old, couldn't find the provolone, guacamole or mayo. Giving one star to post review. read more

Chadd's Bistro - Turkey Supreme - Sandwiches Near Me - Shelby Twp, Michigan

Just left here. Two of us arrived right at 11 opening. No one else there. Took 25 minute to get a Dirty More on un grilled rye. Bread was dry and fell apart. One slice of tomato. Minimal semi fatty corned beef. Then charged .50 cents for the chips that the menu says are included. Only switching to fries was an upcharge. Other meal was cup of mushroom soup with half veggie reuben. Arrived at table without soup. Waited another 10 minutes for soup to arrive. So, 1 Dirty More with chips and water, 1/2 Veggie reuben, cup of soup, 1 glass of wine,,,,$43.00 without tip. Yikes! Could of been WAY better! read more

Chadd's Bistro has excellent food, and you can tell they use quality ingredients. The service was good, but we did only get the carryout experience. Not a place I would stay and still there to eat. That being said some may like the place just not for my taste. The Food and Carryout experience are definitely a 5 star read more

Best time for a Saturday nigh! You need to come in for fantastic food.. but wait I loved having a dart game after dinner. Food is solid delicious as it was at the old location. Only a short block east of the prior spot. Pastrami just as good as the last time I had it, not too fatty and not dry, total taste party on the tongue and lips. Husband and I split it, indulged again in the best sweet potato fries in Michigan.. far as I know to date. Andddd...!! Whaaat!! What was I thinking taking soooo long to come back. Dumb! Everyone loved their sandwiches and friend loved the amazing French onion soup, she could tell it tasted homemade! Beers on tap & I got to try a NEW local hard cider that was very good. Fun to have a few choices for adult beverages. Games to play too!! Alana our waitress if I'm spelling her name correctly was just a delight. Downside folks is when you support your local chef and restaurant they don't have the big chain or corporate millions for some trendy ambiance. This isn't my requirement for eating good food but to some of you peeps that want some polished brass or an interior design that's going to be Instagram pics for the pages it's got work to be done. I personally prefer money spent to make me super delicious food and hire people that are rock stars but everyone has their preferences. I hope that you'd all pack the place at Chadd's every weekend because if you don't we will start losing our local restaurants and chefs. Your big name chains might send you a free dessert that got thawed out from the box last night and maybe they have a menu that's already known but I'm so worried for our local Michigan restaurants I truly want to start a movement that we support the local businesses with every dollar that we can. Come into Chadds maybe we can have a Yelp meet up?! read more

I don't know what the hype is. According to other reviews, they are supposed to have the best fries? I'm not sure what happened today. They weren't busy at all. 2pm As for the sandwich First was the hard-core Joe. It was meh. The flavors didn't blend together. It was soggy. 2nd sandwich. Just turkey and chees and lettuce on a roll. Not hard. But we got the turkey onions tomato pesto sauce, no cheese. What a waste on money. read more

It has been a long time since I been at Chadd's Bistro and I was looking forward to getting a Pastrami Sandwich and hand cut French Fries. What a disappointment, the fries were not crispy, Pastrami was dry, chewy and sparse. I don't mind paying $16 for a sandwich because when Chadd was there himself the sandwiches were Incredible!!! Chadd I'm not sure if you sold the business or you were just not there today but I won't be back. The service was excellent, Lani did a great job. Very nice and attentive. Ambiance was okay, I like the old place more. This place felt cold, not weather cold. read more

Good was great. Service was ok. Games were fun! My family of assorted ages all enjoyed the meal!

We stopped in around 9pm. Sat at the bar and was greeted with a new bartender in training. She was very sweet and kept apologizing while making our drinks. Every thing came out delicious. I got the monte cristo and sweet potato fries. Very nice bar even though it was a little dead on a week night but we will definitely be back. read more

Went to dinner with my family here tonight. The space is SUPER cute. I can easily see coming here for a second date or with some friends. Tons of board games everywhere, fully stocked bar, and very spacious. Decor was adorable. When it came to the food, it was overall good but I've come here to make note of it for those looking for menu suggestions. First, perhaps this was a fluke, but the chicken noodle soup was incredibly oregano based. Like it was oregano city up in this place. Not my cup of tea, or soup, perhaps in this instance. The other is that I ordered the Grilled Maguro. Well, I did see the little asterisk on the menu about consuming raw fish, nothing could've prepared me for receiving a piece of fish that was rare to medium rare. Like it was super raw. I did send it back and supposedly that's how it was supposed to look, though consulting with the menu photo online that is not the case. That said, once I asked for it to be cooked well done, it was DELICIOUS. TO DIE FOR. If I return, I will be ordering that again, just I need to specify how I want it cooked (i was not prompted by ordering). The photo I have attached is the fixed sandwich with some sweet potato fries. They came with cinnamon butter which was nice. Overall, I'd put this somewhere around a 3.75/5. Definitely seems like a great place for socialization! Also, menu was super extensive which was good! read more

The Highlander was ok. The chilli cheese fries were disgusting. Cheese wasn't even melted. The cheese was like play do literally. The waitress was too busy to even acknowledge me when I came in or when I left. The place is ok. Nothing to remember. The wait staff was 1 person and she was too busy with the 3 tables that had people. I'm not coming back. This was my second experience here. read more

I was unimpressed and let down. The food was bland. Soup lacked taste, my sandwich was not worth $15 and the "famous fries" were dark brown w weird "homemade ketchup". It's a cool set up inside, service was ok, but for the spend and reputation, I don't get it. read more

Food is good. I'm a bit more of someone who eats more plain on "standard" options so a lot of these are too wild for me but everyone I've been with always enjoys what they have. Service is decent. Ambience is so fun here. So many games and fun murals on the wall of games!! read more

I have loved Chadd's Bistro for many years, but this new location just keeps getting better and better! Lots of space to chill with your friends! Great service and epic handcrafted from scratch food!!! I personally crave the Skinny John with sweet fries and their signature cinnamon butter to dip the fries in. Now I can add an adult beverage and play games too. The game wall offers lots of new board games as well as the oldies but goodies during my last visit we got to watch a local artist craft a Cheshire Cat as part of a huge mural of our favorite childhood games. I heard Monday night is a big game night and I can't wait to join in! read more

We were in town visiting a family member in the hospital & wanted something quick, but with a hometown feel. Stumbled upon Chadd's Bistro & had a wonderful experience. The staff were attentive, informative of the menu, & quick with the service. Everything is made in-house down to the bread & sauces (ketchup included). There is a wall of board games which could make your experience so much fun. If I'm ever back in the area, I'll be stopping at Chadd's Bistro. 11/10. read more

Located in an extremely unassuming spot in a small strip mall right off the road, the outside and surroundings look random and perhaps a bit run down, but don't let that fool you. The sandwiches are very delicious sandwiches and worth the minor inconvenience of driving out to its location that is personally an area I don't come to often, so feels a bit out of the way every time I come here. That being said, I've only come here a handful of times in the last several years, so perhaps it's a bit more than a minor inconvenience for me personally. The menu is huge and all of them sound good, so you can't really go wrong with what you order. From the ones that I have tried, my favorite has been the Cato Minor. You can't go wrong with a generous slather of pesto! read more

Food is excellent- they make their own bread! Awesome sandwich selection! You could try one new sandwich each day of the month and not have a repeat! Service is good too-everyone that works there now is super friendly . They greet you when you come in and have you 'sit wherever you'd like', and it seems like they enjoy their work. The owner is a great dude & I see him regularly working in the kitchen alongside his employees. The Ambiance is mostly really good too- they do have TV's and will have whatever sports games going that sports watchers like- but they aren't loud so I (as a non sports person) can easily tune out/ignore it. I really enjoy the variety of board games and card games to choose from! Kid friendly as well - games for all ages available and some coloring books too. I was there working recently and noticed the music playlist start over - when I went up to the bartender and made a request they were happy to honor it. There is currently a mural being painted - has been awesome to see it progress (: It has a lot of nostalgic elements with some board games from my childhood. read more
