Forever my favorite breakfast deli! The go to is the breakfast bagel and bagel & lox. Although that's my taste buds and all their options are carefully curated dishes. ALWAYS met with a friendly smile, like you live next door and they've know you for years. read more

Absolutely love Hen's Deli! It's a small Deli in Walker's Point with a cute and authentic neighborhood feel. The Italian sub that I ordered was delicious and I will be going back for more! Sometimes there is a long line, but the wait is worth it and the line moves pretty fast. I've also been there for breakfast and had their bagel sandwich, which was good (although, I wish there was a sauce or cream cheese on it to bring everything together). Next time I will be getting a classic bagel. Overall, it is a a great, charming neighborhood staple and worth a visit! read more

Hens is my go to staple for a great sub sandwich or breakfast bagel sandwich. The toppings they offer remind me of an old school deli. They have a variety of different sandwiches or you can build your own. My favorite is the Italian sub! At times, you might have to wait in line or wait for your sandwich (mostly during lunch hours) but most of the time except 5-10 minutes, totally worth it! read more

We had a great lunch at Hen's deli! I ordered the turkey sub sandwich. I loved how you can customize the toppings easily. The sandwich was huge and super delicious! If you aren't too hungry you could easily split with a friend. The bread, turkey and veggies all tasted super fresh. The service was quick and friendly. There are three small tables inside if you want to eat there, and the place itself is super cozy and welcoming. read more

Hen’s Deli - Turkey sub - Sandwiches Near Me - Milwaukee, Wisconsin

This quaint little restaurant is tucked into Walker's point and is a true hidden gem. If you're looking for a spectacular sub sandwich, Bagel, or a combo of both well you've came to the right place. We tried three different sandwiches and each exceeded our expectations. The first with the American- classic bologna, American cheese and a crunchy chip on top. The Italian is exactly what you would assume - subtly spicy with extremely fresh meat and the perfect bread. The pork pastrami was a warm welcome to your taste buds. It was tender and had a bold flavor from the horseradish cream sauce. The service was efficient and fast. This is a definite hit up for a tasty sub. Would gladly come back. read more

We visited Hen's today for lunch and were extremely impressed. Sandwiches were delicious and the service was excellent. We ordered the Pastrami sandwich, club sub and ham and Swiss. All were wonderful, great bread and extremely fresh veggies- pickled onions were top notch as well! Highly recommend and will be back for sure! read more

Hen's Deli was delicious!!! It's a small hole in the wall with fresh bagels served Tuesday - Saturday. They only have about 2 tables, so it's definitely a grab and go type of place. The service was quick and the bagels were still warm. I got the bagel breakfast sandwich with sausage. The sausage was packed with flavor and the patty was so thin - it was perfect. My friend got the pickle bagel, which was nice and not too over powering. Can't wait to go back and try one of their subs. read more

Cute bagel deli place to grab your breakfast or lunch! Breakfast all day and lunch starts at 10:30. The staff was very friendly and helpful, even the owner recommended a sandwich they can make right away. I tried The Hadassah sandwich with a bag of funky fusion chips and a Topo Chico beverage. Hen's Deli wins in my sustainable / environmentally friendly list! They have sustainable packaging and bamboo utensils! This is rare for businesses and a great example for others to follow! read more

I went outside of my comfort zone when I picked the curry bagel (check it off the list, not for me, haha... but that was my choice, my risk). I've had other breakfast bagel sandwiches there before and very much so enjoyed them. I just wish they had a bigger dining space - if you go during the lunch hour/when they're busy (outside of the warm weather months), seating is very limited. They make the most of their space though. Great for grab n go. read more

So glad I listened to my friend who suggested this deli in Walkers Point. Freshly made subs and a variety of bagels to choose from. They even have a pickle bagel! Which I will have to try next time. Family owned staff who are always friendly and super helpful. There are a few tables inside the establishment but I took my sub to go! Forsure my go to deli in the Milwaukee area! read more

I cannot say enough about Hen's Deli. I love that they have tortas, and bagels (two of my favorite things). I love that it's a small hole-in-the-wall local Milwaukee business. I can come here and sit and read on my own while I enjoy my food, or come catch up with friends on the little sidewalk patio. Staff is always super friendly and helpful, and I literally dream of these tortas and their homemade salsas. read more

Normally I'm at work during the week by the time Hen's Deli opens at 8am, so I had't had the chance to try them yet. On this day, though, I was working the later shift, which gave me enough time to stop at Hen's Deli before work. I ordered the breakfast sandwich (two eggs, American cheese, and choice of bacon or sausage) on a garlic bagel with bacon for the meat. I'm not super adventurous when it comes to bagels, so I was torn between pretty basic ones like plain, salted, and garlic. The person working the register said she would go with garlic, so I took her advice. The bagel was good by itself and fresh in quality with plenty of garlic flavor, but maybe a little too much for the breakfast sandwich. I thought the garlic overpowered the bacon, egg, and cheese and I had to brush a portion of the garlic off to be able to taste the rest of it. If I come back, I'd go with salted or plain instead. read more

I really like the vibe of this place. Its a 1 room shop with bagel sandwiches and other sandwiches for lunch. They have some outdoor seating, so this restaurant in the summer is really nice. I would recommend either sitting outside or carrying out because the indoor area is just too cramped. Overall this is a fun little place to grab a quick breakfast! read more

One year later, and after several more visits, I'm upgrading my rating. My sandwiches have been consistently delicious, and the service has been consistently excellent! On my two most recent visits: (yesterday), I ordered their Torta of the Day, which was made with spare rib meat seasoned with Brazilian spices, avocado, pinto beans, lettuce, tomato, onion, salsa verde, and mayo, and (today) their meatball sub, which I'm told is typically offered on Thursdays and sometimes Fridays if there are meatballs leftover. Luckily I was able to get the Meatball Sub today! I had mine topped (actually was on the roll under the meatballs, which worked great!) and banana peppers because I'm not a hot giardiniera guy. The Brazilian Spare Rib meat had great flavor and tender texture. All of the toppings worked well together, but I think the brilliant addition of salsa verde really brought it all home. LOVED it! My photos didn't do it justice. The meatballs in my sub today were firm the way I like them, so either all beef, or possibly a little pork mixed in. I find that more pork in the mixture results in softer (mushier) texture, which I don't care for, so these made me happy. The marinara sauce was a nice balance of sweet and spicy, but really tasty, and the banana peppers added a little crunch and sweetness, so I'll have to remember that for next time. This place is great and has become a new favorite of mine. Open for breakfast and lunch, 8am to 3pm (opens 9am on Saturdays) and closed Sunday and Monday. Now it's your turn. read more

Great quick friendly service. The inside is one of the cutest places I've seen in a LONG time!

Keep being amazing, Hen's Deli. read more

Cute place that has a very homegrown vibe. Big points for having "PeeWee's Big Adventure" on the little television. Breakfast sandwiches were amazing. Rosemary bagel is reason enough to go here on repeat. read more

Stopped by for a mid week lunch, was surprised to find this hole in the wall packed to the gills. Our food came out surprisingly quickly given how busy they were and everything was excellent. I had a rosemary salt bagel which was to die for, and my fiancé had the torta, which we thought at first was a bit pricey, but came out enormous so we were pleased. The jalepenos and tomatoes were notably fresh and delicious. We'll be back sometime soon to try more, but for now came away very impressed! read more

Now with more seating! I really like this place. The people are really nice and they do a small menu well with some special touches. Like radishes and mint in the sprout salad on the Hadassah. That's a smoked salmon spread bagel that comes either as a sandwich or open faced for a couple bucks more. You get a little bit more food if you order open faced, but I was thinking more about being able to take a bite without losing a tomato slice. There were marinated cucumbers too which also like to fly off sandwiches. They are quite delicious. In addition to the table they now have a couple more seats by the wall and outdoor tables. They still do a brisk takeout business. And it would be a nice spot to grab a sandwich on a lunch break. read more

It's a small menu which is good with me because that means you can focus on good food vs. trying to make everything. I tried it three times before I wrote a review. The service issues that people talked about early on must have been resolved because the owner gave incredible service. I asked for butter on my bagel and they didn't offer it but she gave me some of her own personal Kerry gold butter. I tried the torta and then two bagels. The torta was good but wasn't anything special but still worth a try. They change out to a different torta every day. I tried the sesame bagel and then the curry one. The curry bagel is not very "curry" and I don't recommend getting it plain with butter. I feel that this bagel deserves some toppings to really enjoy the flavor. Yes, it's close to work and I will be back. Service was quick but my only issue is that a place that prides the business on bagels doesn't open until 9am. I would like to pick up a bagel before I get to work. read more

Hens Deli Loved your place! Great menu! Fabulous Bagels!! Best in Milwaukee, by far read more

Were you bummed when Soup Bros closed? Have no fear, Hen's Deli is here!! Family run, Hen's has all the same cozy vibes and dare I say, way better service :) The homemade bagels are amazing all in their own, but you'd be mistaken not to order a breakfast sandwich with one no matter the time of day. Eggs can be cooked to preference, and the value is incredible, a very filling breakfast or lunch. The pastrami is a favorite of mine, if they have it on the menu, you should absolutely get it. Messy? Yes. Delicious? Absolutely. Try out Hen's, you'll love it! read more

The most incredible bagels and sandwiches around! Friendly owners and staff. The food ALWAYS taste like it's made with love. They are busy for good reason. If you go when they have a rush, I promise it's worth the wait! read more

It seemed like a warm family run establishment that's also delicious. We popped in here for the first time about a week ago. They were super nice and the bagels were very yummy. I ordered the Breakfast Torta which was way bigger than I thought it was going to be but really yummy. My husband got a bagel breakfast sandwich which was equally delicious. There was a line to the door when we first got there and only a couple tables inside so we took it to go. Over cute little spot and we need to get there earlier next time because they only had two bagel types left by the time we got there! We will be back for sure. read more

Wow! They've been open for barely a week, but you wouldn't know it based on the steady flow of clientele. I was there at around 12:30, and while I waited for my bagel another four people popped in. Just wanting to check out the place I ordered a plain bagel with vegan cream cheese and I also got a bag of mini conchas to go. All this for about $10. While I still have to dig into the conchas, that vegan cream cheese is one of the tastiest ever! It's a tiny place with only one table for two, so great for to-go orders. They are open Tuesday to Saturday, 9am-3pm. read more

The Hens Deli is a small sandwich shop - in terms of physical footprint (includes a single 4 person table) and menu offerings. But they have found ways to be unique to keep customers coming back. First off - they make their own bagels - poppyseed, sesame, onion, everything, Rosemary, sea salt and curry. I had the curry bagel and found it tender, moist and flavorful. Second - they had a great vegan sandwich ("Bagel Levantine") with tabouleh, eggplant hummus, tahini and pickled onion. Third - the staff was very friendly and personable read more

I started going here when they first opened, and tried the subs. I liked them.. customized them a little to my taste(the house oil pairs well with them), then... I tried the Pork Pastrami Sandwich. OMG. This instantly turned into a craving. It is delicious. I highly recommend you try it. The space used to be the very popular Soup Brothers(RIP best red pepper bisque ever), but I am very happy that Hens Deli is now here. I remember walking by one day, not too long after the former place closed in the space and seeing the two owners checking the place out; I'm happy for them getting the space, and happy they have some of the best sandwiches in the area. Do yourself a favor and try one! They are becoming a Milwaukee staple! read more

We went to Hen's Deli for lunch a few weeks ago and were very excited to try it since it is the new sandwich shop in Walker's Point and replaced two of my favorite places Boo Boo's and Soup Bros. I think that if you had been to either of those restaurants, you might be a bit underwhelmed with Hen's just because those were insanely good, very filling and about the same price. If you had never been to those establishments, you might not have a point of comparison and therefore, really enjoy this! At Hen's, I ordered the bistec torta and my husband ordered the classic club with Italian dressing. I thought the torta was quite good! There was tons of avocado and crema and the bistec was not super fatty. However, there are just so many places that sell delicious, filling tortas in the area that I would not say this is the #1 place to go for them. My husband also thought that the club was good, but again, nothing outstanding. There was probably less meat on it compared to what they serve at other delis. If you do want to try this place (which I think people should because it is new and everyone has different tastes!), be sure to go not right at 12pm. It gets BUSY!! When we left around 12:30, there was probably a line of 20+ people crammed inside waiting to order/get there food. The service was as quick as it could be and the employees were very kind/patient. If I am in the area, I might stop back but I won't be rushing there again soon. read more

I have never left a review before but thought it was necessary since my second visit went about the same as my first. I was looking forward to a close sandwich shop as others have said since BooBoo's closing. I had come one time before and it was a little busy so I just let the bad service roll off my back. I came another morning and they were incredibly rude. For a place that centers their posters/ad space/book collections around fostering a more united community this gave me the ick. You don't need to fake kindness or fake a customer service voice/look but to blatantly switch based off of who is ordering is weird and cringey. I have never received such a blatant energy shift as when I walked up to order a sandwich - it is difficult to explain other than a rude tone shift between me and another customer (someone they may have known) - it seemed strange to me that you could have two people in the entire room and decide to barely acknowledge one, make them feel awkward for what they ordered and then continue to be rude. Condescending and rude are not ways to keep people coming in. Again for a place that has so much centered around community and trying to build others up - the person who takes the orders could really use some reflection. It does not feel good to go to a place and be treated unkindly for no reason. The food was good - the service was unkind. read more

Great place. Stopped in for some bagels. They were awesome. Highly recommended for bagels or a sandwiches

This place is truly a gem and really creative with their crafted sandwiches but OMG the homemade bagels are incredible. The problem with most bagels is no one wants the bottom of the bagel... not here. Both sides are "tops". The sesame is my favorite but I'll be trying them all!! The lox spread is to die for... looking forward to trying the rest of the menu but the home made pork pastrami looks ll really interesting. Also a awesome people and a great vibe!! I was sad then soup Bria went out but this is a great add to the neighborhood!! read more
