There are NO deli's that I aware of in Grand Rapids. Once upon a time there was at least one that…read morewas pretty good. Long gone. If you want corned beef or pastrami, greasy grocery store deli meat just doesn't cut it. Checking Yelp delis. I looked in every direction and decided to drive to East Lansing as my corned beef withdrawal pains were getting worse. Stateside Deli sits in a shopping plaza a few miles southeast from MSU. When we arrived both booths and tables were available just after the lunch rush. Just guessing, i'd say there are between 25-30 tables and booths. Even though I didn't need to, I studied the menu knowing that I would probably only get corned beef or pastrami. The soups however looked great as well. I ordered my corned beef extra lean partially as a test and mostly because that is how I like it. Served on toasted rye, that' is exactly how it came. My first bites were euphoric. It only got better. My wife ordered half a sandwich (tuna melt on wheat) along with matzah ball soup. She loved hers as well. I can tell because both the bowl and plate were empty when she was done. She will often not finish if the food is "just OK" Service was excellent and "seamless". One server saw my drink almost empty and quickly returned with another. Another server asked if we needed anything as she was walking by. Our server also kept checking with us to see if we needed anything or if we were enjoying our lunch. If this is the closest deli, so be it. We will be back as often as practical. Only drawback is the hour drive each way and approximately $28 worth of gas.

The produce section is beautiful offering many staple items and cauliflower as big as my head! The desserts are mind blowing, chocolate, fruit, cake, rolls, tarts, gluten free...all bases are covered here! There is even a soup stand with at least 6-8 selections, to-go foods both cold and warm. Lunch options, dinner options, snacks...it's all available there! Lastly the dog treats, they are homemade and brought in by the baker/owner of the small local business on a regular basis. Several items in the store are sourced locally and the prices are comparable to other stores, maybe a little more for specialty items. All team members encountered are willing to help and answer questions and everyone was smiling and in a genuine good mood. Rare! There is legit something for everyone and they are now on my weekly list of stops to make!

I highly recommend supporting this locally owned establishment and can't say enough good things about them!

Flat-top seating with an essential atmosphere. Clean restroom. Bottle soda, water, and sports drinks are available. I will return and recommend.

Very nice people too.

Nah I'm kidding, the employees here were fine…read more Located at the Meridian Mall in Okemos this is a pretty meh sandwich shop which I really think is awful and substandard and while it's better than Subway so is licking the toilet seat so I would strongly advise you not to come here but if you're stuck in this mall and you really want a sandwich then it's not going to kill you and it's definitely better than something you would get in a gas station or Subway or something like that.

I came in on a Saturday (8/22/15) around 4:45pm to shop at the mall and get some food. The reason I…read moream leaving 1 star is not because the food is terrible (although it wasn't very good), but more so because of the staff. Here are the reasons. 1.) The two employees behind the counter were having a conversation and even though I was standing there ready to order, it took them a good 20 seconds to wrap up their conversation and acknowledge my presence. 2.) I ordered the ultimate fries with the ranch on the side. The guy behind the counter (with the tattoos on his forearm) literally grabs a tray of fries that were sitting there with ranch on it, throws some toppings on it, and hands it to me. I reeeeally didn't want to eat cold fries that were made who knows when. Where did these fries even come from and how long were they sitting there with ranch on top? They were really soggy looking. I reminded him him that I wanted the ranch on the side and he looks at me and says "I have to make it again then." I paused for a moment thinking "okay? what are you waiting for?" He really tried to make me feel bad about it and after a little attitude, he went to making them again. I even apologized (for making him do his job perhaps) and thanked him when my order was up. 3.) A third male employee comes outta nowhere while I was eating. He really caught my attention because as he was walking towards Charley's, he dropped a really large stack of sauce containers and made a big scene. Here is the really DISGUSTING part. Instead of throwing those dirty contaminated containers away, with the help of the guy with the tattoos on his forearm, they picked them up took them behind the counter and restocked their supply. Do they really not have a clue how filthy the floor of a food court in a mall is? I will never eat at Charley's again!
