Menu (January 2020)
Christal P.

Lunchtime was closed for most of 2020, but it is back open for lunch. Breakfast is not being served at this time. Before the pandemic, I went there several times for the breakfast meal, which was a good deal at $5 for scrambled eggs, two sides, and meat. The sandwiches and soups are pretty good and are made to order with fresh ingredients. If you join the email list, you will get regular emails with the daily menu. There are daily specials with different soups and sandwiches on rotation. My favorite is the African Peanut with Chicken Soup. I also enjoyed Motorcity Cheesesteak with pot roast, sautéed onion, provolone cheese & parmesan ranch sauce. This place is a good lunch option if you are in New Center One, the Fisher Building, or Cadillac Place.

I'm a fan of all things lunchtime until today. I mistakenly ordered the cream of broccoli soup without looking. Big mistake it's different and not in a good way. It's basically broccoli in mush with specs of cheese. It's no actual cream with this broccoli. I'm sad .

Food is fresh and delicious! Service? Depends on the server's mood, I guess. All over the place.

Ask the Community - Lunchtime Detroit

Do your breads for the sandwiches contain Sesame?

No, no seeds on or in any of our breads.

Can they accommodate for food allergies? Do they have a food allergen menu?

Sesame is an ingredient in only 2 of our sauces. The tahini sauce for our Shawarma sandwich, Keto and Salad. Also, there is sesame oil in our Asian/Ginger Vinaigrette. Those are the only 2 places where sesame or sesame derivative occur on our menu.

A golden standard for Italian sandwiches in this neighborhood…read more Buy them by the layer... try the 18 if ya have a empty belly and want half for later haha. Grab a dmall thing of antipasta or pasta salad and a small thing of mixed olives and peppers from the salad bar. The perfect lunch. Also after going here for 39 years, i realized i can also just buy mortadella by the pound. Mortadella is hard to come by without taking a 30 minute drive so this was a late revelation for me. Walk in, stand in front of the counter, tell em what ya want, wait 2 minutes and walk to the counter with your sandwich to pay.

My father took me Gonella's when I was a kid, and he was working in Detroit as a television…read moredirector. This was the sandwich shop that made me love subs. I can't believe the place is still here after all of these years. There are 2 types of subs here: Italian, and "Other Subs", so you know that this shop sprang from the vibrant Italian community that once populated Detroit. The Italian Subs at Gonella's are ordered according to how many layers it builds up (which I think is a unique concept). These layered Gonella Italian Subs are layered with a variety of Italian meats (Hard Salami, Salami Cotto, Mortadella, Smoked Ham and Capicola), provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions & Gonella's homemade dressing. Soft or hard roll. Extras: Peppers (+.50) Cheese (+.50) - (Turkey is reserved for the "Other Subs). 6 Layers Meat, 1 Layer Cheese --- $8 8 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $9 12 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $12 14 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $13 18 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $14 The subs are heavy and delicious. The Service is ultra friendly. And the atmosphere feels like and Italian Deli-Market. I recommend it.

The Hygrade Deli has become my favorite breakfast/diner spot in all of Detroit. Honestly, I'm just…read moresick of paying over $15 for an omelette and hash browns, and Hygrade is very affordable and quality. For one, I'm a huge Pastrami fan, and Hygrade is one of the few spots in the area that have it and don't overcharge for it (*cough Louie's *cough Frank's), so I always get their Pastrami omelette with hash browns. The portion is huge and it's under $12. It's my favorite thing to get for breakfast in the entire city. Hygrade feels very much like a diner, and that's what I love about it. Like this isn't some spot for a brunch extravaganza. You can go here for a nice breakfast or lunch and eat in peace. I find it's an ideal place to get work done due to its low-key atmosphere. The waitresses are very attentive and quick, helped by the fact that I've never seen the place packed. I'm a sucker for old school Detroit and Hygrade just oozes that. The place gets the job done and if you go once, you will go back.

This place has gone extremely downhill since new ownership. I got food poisoning from them in…read moreSeptember. Spoiled soup which I told the server to make the cook aware of. The gravy for my turkey sandwich was like water. Lower quality meats/ingredients. The front person was handling money at the register and preparing food simultaneously. Yuck. The cook kept leaving the kitchen on his cellphone. No gloves. I used to love this place.

I have been a big fan of corned beef and pastrami for years but my go to is on the other side of the city not to far from Dearborn, there is a couple other delis in eastern market area, one I like and the other I think is outrageous and the people there are rude, well today I was in the mood for a good corned beef on rye, got looking at a few apps I have and I come across Champs which is in Gratiot Central market where I go to buy certain meats to grill and smoke, but I never have gone there to buy prepared food, well I'll tell you it was Very Good ! The place is simple ,it is clean, they have a cool old Ford truck in there well the have half of it but none the a nice place , and the lady that waited on me was very cool, I decided I wanted Pastrami Indian it was excellent the , it was not greasy which is what I like to see it was heated just right and got slaw on it and my bread wasn't a soggy mess, I thought the price point was very good for my sandwich which also came with 2 pickles that were good and my drink, And the info I read is this is a small business this isn't corporate owned this is someone or family doing it cause they love please try support small business they need it now more than ever , I thought it was very good I hope you do as well.
