Have not been there for a few years, but the Countermans Treat and fries were always fantastic, I went there dozens of times when it was in walking distance, now I would have to take a bus which only comes every 70 minutes, mass transit is horrible in the Detroit area, that is why it is called Motown. read more

This used to be the spot. They have gone down. They have cut back on the meat portions and the sandwich ways dry.

I ordered a regular corned beef on grilled onion roll with onion rings. Nice amount of tender meat but extremely salty. Onion ring were ok. read more

Small amount of meat and cheese over price 17 bucks for one sandwich no drink or fires not worth it get a 6 dollar biggie bag from McDonald's way more food you will feel better read more

If you're a Reuben fan, Lou's is a must. This triple-decker masterpiece is piled high with tender, juicy corned beef, perfectly melted Swiss, house-made sauerkraut, and tangy dressing--all stacked between buttery grilled rye. It's huge, hearty, and worth every bite. The meat is the star: flavorful, not too fatty, and sliced just thick enough. Paired with crispy fries or deviled eggs, it's a Detroit deli classic done right. Pro tip: come hungry or split it--it's that big. read more

Dave's Drip - has to be one of the top three corn beef sandwiches in the entire state or on this side of the Mississippi for that matter Just try it. Only spot I can find one on an onion roll. Out of towners be chill. Foods worth it but don't act goofy in the parking lot or leave ya car runnin while you go inside. Service is Detroit. Short to the point. What you asked for. I'll die wanting a Dave's drip before I gotta go home. read more

Corned beef sandwich is always delicious. Service and ambiance is cool. Just wait, be quiet and get your food.

In the war of traditional Jewish delis in and around Southfield, Michigan, this place doesn't win or place. *Maybe* it shows. Here's why: Ambiance: The interior is cheerful: modern, bright, with picnic tables featuring comfortable wooden benches--and plenty of them, meaning this place is usually pretty darn busy. Perhaps because it's centrally located? It's NOT because their Reubens are great. They're just okay. 4/5 Food: First time here and the impression is not great, although it's okay. First, they forgot to put my sandwich on the onion roll I asked for. Even though the order taker had me repeat it twice. Second, the supposed (grilled) rye bread isn't really rye, and wasn't grilled with a crusty, buttered finish. (Maybe margarine? Inferior choice.) There are no caraway seeds, it tastes like a thin Texas toast--so it's a cheap substitute for the kind of rye a Reuben should come with, standard. The supposed Swiss cheese doesn't taste Swiss at all, but very bland and no Swiss flavor. They cheaped out here. A minor beef about the pickle: You don't get a choice of old or new dills. That's STANDARD at a Jewish deli. Where it hits near bottom is in flavor. The corned beef taste is WEAK. It's not overly salty, a good thing, but the special taste of corned beef should be front and center, and it's just lacking here. They must have cheaped out in the meat sourcing. I wouldn't call a bad sandwich, but it's not what a Jewish deli is all about. Even if it's not billed as a Jewish deli, in Southfield Michigan with its great Jewish cultural tradition of Jewish delis, this one MUST compete--but fails on many counts. For all of the reasons above, and especially because a Jewish deli MUST, first and foremost, deliver a GREAT corned beef sandwich, especially a Reuben, I give a low score. 2/5 Service: Had to wait a little bit at the counter and quite a bit longer for the order to be done but it's lunch time--sort of a rush, 2 PM on a weekday. No big deal. But for the order taker to miss one of my key requests correctly after it she repeated it--two mentions of the onion roll--means she's not paying attention. Everything else regarding service, they did well. 3/5 read more

Lou's Deli - Ruben with lettuce and tomato - Delis Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

This place is absolutely the best deli in the area. The menu is unbelievable. This place is a must-stop any time my parents are in town.

They have one of the best subs in this area. They are almost better than Subway-almost

Looking for a spot to eat while killing some time, I stumbled upon this place. It was worth it. I ordered the Ruben on a onion roll, my wife had the roast beast... both of these sandwiches were amazing. In the end a bit pricey, but man. The lemonade was excellent too. read more

Second time here. The sandwiches are huge and extremely tasty, always busy, and the people are so nice and friendly especially Toya, she brought out sandwiches because my husband can't hear . We brought our brother and his wife. They loved it too. read more

Even before you enter, a palpable buzz builds--a rising chorus of excited chatter all focused on one thing: David's Drip sandwich. And the rumors are true; it lives up to every bit of the hype, delivering a truly exceptional experience. read more

Well, where do I begin! I'm visiting from Texas and I went to this place because it suggested. From the moment I walked in the door the gentleman taking the orders was VERY RUDE AND NASTY. He yelled at us because we was unsure who order he was calling out and proceeded to cuss at my family as well as my pastor that was with me. As if it wasn't enough, he flipped us off and not only call me a nigga but even call me a bitch. I even knocked on the door to speak with manager and he told me that he was on a call and didn't have time to calm the situation. Then the just yell out and tell the employee to stop talking to us and closed the door. I will NEVER recommend or support ANYTHING that has to do with this establishment ever again!!!! read more

They are good at what they're good at. Reubens and other sandwiches are always delicious... expensive, but good. Decided to get a grilled chicken salad this time as I wanted something more healthy. They give you enough dressing for the 'salad' part, but the tiny morsels of chicken are so scarce that I don't think I can even call it a grilled chicken salad. More like chicken bits instead of bacon bits. On a garden salad with eggs. Service is better than most other locations. Much more laid back. Definitely the best location, however practices are 100% carried over throughout all locations in regards to portions and food quality. Portions, meh. Quality, good. Only 3 stars because of the portions of what matters, which is a constant. read more

Delicious. Big portions. Good prices. Worth every penny! You are able to customize any sandwich you want as well. I did that with Sara and added lettuce and cheese. Yum!! read more

The language and service are deplorable! While placing my order, I heard "MF" 3 times... hoe twice, n***a 5 times... shyt countless times FROM THE STAFF - cooks and cashiers!! And albeit, they were engaged in FRIENDLY conversation!! There were 3-4 seasoned ladies who obviously were uncomfortable and said they would never comeback. I'm with them! If you cant respect your customers. Whats the point? read more

Worse Lou's deli ever Between the female cook LOUDLY cursing out a co worker in the back and the NYE almost hour long wait for my sandwich which was prepared incorrectly and DRY, I've had it with this location. Also, why do ALL the ladies working the front have attitudes. Customers waiting for their food were just shaking our heads in embarrassment for them. 1 star cuz I had to add a rating. read more

This place was really good. I love corned beef but this was on another level https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8t6pWNH/ read more

The food was good. Ypu know Lou's, but the snappy people taking your order I can do without. I just ordered Cheesecake. My Brother in law ordered soup, of course, they didn't have what he wanted, so he got a corned beef sandwich. Like I said, the food is good. I don't live near Lou's and have several other options, which I will exercise next time I'm in this area...at Providence Hosputsl, by the way, concerned for a loved one, and really not in the mood for bad attitudes. read more

There is only one other spot I have ever gone to that is equally as good in making a corned beef sandwich. Get the Roselawn corned beef special - has coleslaw and Russian dressing on it. My only critique is on the desserts but it is a deli and not a bakery... so caramel cake and peach cobbler aren't worth the calories. Also they are pretty popular so order ahead and expect a 20/25 min wait on food. read more

Lou's Deli - Roselawn Special Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Southfield, Michigan

Alway my visit when I come back home to Detroit! Late night corn beef spot! There are so many good variety to choose from but for me it's always the Roselawn special. That lean corn beef with the coleslaw and onion roll.....yaaasss always banging. Location in a strip mall lots of parking. My advise is to grab a menu before getting to the counter to you can see all your options. The Julianne salad is a good selection as well with corn beef on top, lots of meat and cheese! People are cool and helpful if you really don't know what you want. The sandwiches are very filling great late night option ! read more

So, picture this: Late Saturday night..full day of traveling..super tired, super hungry, super duper Hangry! Al I wanted was good- but it better be good food. Or is rather just go to sleep and sleep away my hunger pains! My friend who is from Detroit said this was a must visit! So I did. Now, I'm a believer that she's a good friend! She's a keeper, because the Marygrove sandwich was full of delicious turkey, the bread was buttery deliciousness, the sauerkraut was thrillingly tangy. Home run man!!! You will not be unsatisfied!! read more

Never been here before, but after attending a meeting with my coworkers today, one of my coworkers suggested coming here for lunch. So we all agreed to it. She recommended the corned beef sandwiches. So that's exactly what I ordered. Corn beef sandwich with swiss cheese, Russian sauce, and lettuce on a onion bun. My taste buds melted with every bite. Talk about a sandwich that puts a smile on your face. One of the best recommendations ever given to me! read more

This place is so ghetto the staff was arguing while taking orders. I got everything I needed, but personal problems should be dealt with after work. The Guy cashier was into it with the cook right in front of the customers, but the female staff kept it professional. So I will recommend it but they gotta do better customer service for the people that's waiting extra long for the sandwich or meal that already super expensive. read more

If you're looking for a sandwich that doesn't lack meat, this is the spot for you. These sandwiches are massive and delicious. I usually eat half and then save the other half for another meal. The quality of their sandwiches is always top notch and consistent. Never had any issues. I did recently order their cream of broccoli soup (as having ordered it previously and it was delicious), but it was off as had a weird flavor that threw me off. If they are busy, just wait it out, I promise their sandwiches are worth it and this will be one of your new favorite places!! read more

I do not often categorize food as nasty but THIS was nasty. Granted, I only ordered dessert so cannot speak to the quality of other items but what I did experience...inedible. I placed a delivery order through yelp. It took an hour and a half for a small dessert order. I don't know if that's on GrubHub, the restaurant, or both. When I finally get the order I notice that half of my order is wrong. I got sweet potato pies when I ordered peach cobblers. The pies were burned along the edges and pale in the middle. The cake I ordered was correct but looked incredibly unappetizing as it was smashed and appeared as though the edges were burned though kinda covered with a bright yellow frosting. I decided, since I had them and it was too late to try and get something from somewhere else to give them items a try. MISTAKE. The sweet potato pie was both bitter and bland (how, idk). The cake was...its hard to describe. A mix of stale, strong artificial flavor, and bitter. Ultimately I'll be getting a refund and will not likely return to try other items. read more

My Corned beef sandwich was very tasty and well made however; you will get hood service attitude from some of the cashiers

I went to Lou's Deli in Southfield MI on January 25,2025 and spent over 300.00 dollars on sandwiches but left a 50.00 tip. I live in Grand Rapids MI and we got sandwiches about 11 sandwiches plus some extra things for our family in Grand Rapids MI. The corn beef this time was very SALTY and we couldn't eat the sandwiches. I came on December 24,2024 and spent over 275.00 and my grandson forgot to tip but I made sure my husband double the tip and we ordered about 8 sandwiches and my family LOVED LOVED the sandwiches when we brought them back to Grand Rapids MI. I will support you but please have a comment section on your website to tell about my issues. Thank you Lou's Deli. read more

HANDS DOWN The Best Corned Beef Sandwiches in the city!!! Egg rolls are top tier also.

This location prices was much different from the previous locations that I had patronized. I thought that to be a bit strange. I normally eat at the mount clement location. I always order the same thing. So I did notice almost a five dollar increase for my hot pastrami sandwich. Plus it was smaller. Oh well. I'm a sucker for pastrami. read more

This is my second time here in less than 24 hours. That should tell you how much I like this place. I visiting was at the recommendation of my Aunt who lived in Detroit for a very long time. Now, this place is not full of the extra frills. If you're looking for ambiance Lou's isn't for you, but if you're looking for a delicious Corned Beef or Pastrami Sandwich this is the place to be. Now, I must warn you, the meat is shaved, you can not compare them to New York Style Delicatessens and how they cut their corned beef and pastrami, so don't. But the flavor is good and the meat is moist and tender. At the recommendation of both my aunt and the lady that took my order I got my sandwich on an Onion Roll. My first time I got the 6 oz. Regular Size sandwich and order of fries and a Medium Lemonade. Today, I skipped the fries which were dry and lukewarm and opted for the 9 oz Super size Corned Beef sandwich and a Large Lemonade. Be warned, the Lemonade is not fresh squeezed and it's very sweet but with a sandwich like this you have the full experience. I also added extra Swiss cheese because the day before it seemed to be lost although I saw it ... slightly. Overall, a delicious, straightforward sandwich with really friendly people if you are friendly. read more
