It seems there are new owners, again. Let's start with the good. I had a chicken salad sandwich with Munster cheese, lettuce, tomato, and honey. Mustard dressing served on a multigrain bread. I don't know that it was monster cheese for sure, but I will give them the benefit of the doubt. There wasn't much dressing on it at all, but the bread was fresh and the sandwich tasted pretty good. I also got two brown sugar chocolate chip cookies which were OK, but just overly sweet and you could feel some of the sugar on your teeth when you chewed. From an aesthetic and overall ambiance perspective, the "Mabel's Tables" is blacked out above Michael's Deli signage, recognizing the change in ownership without there being any other such signage or notification, which doesn't make for a good look or impression. The display case and product shelves were pretty sparse, again, not a good look or feeling given that they will be there a long time. read more

Michaels deli was a great place to stop for lunch with a great menu selection and a build your own option as well. Today I ended up building a turkey club with turkey, cheese, lettuce, mayo, and bacon. The bacon came crispy and paired well with their rye bread. It was quick service and lunch was delicious. read more

This place is seriously underrated. It's tucked in behind S.Main on Elm St. but I try to stop here once every two weeks (pay day lol) to grab a coffee and breakfast sandwich. It's so cute inside and I've always had the warmest of welcomes when I come in. Help yourself to a coffee and you know after your first bite, the food is prepared with care. My usual is the sausage egg and cheese with grilled onions and hot cherry peppers and it's the best in town... seriously. The Mrs does the same except with bacon. We've stopped a few times with the kids for a sit down and they always ask "why don't we come here more often?" The owner came out one time when she was trying a new French toast recipe with and gave everyone a taste test. Love it!! read more

Michael's Deli - Sausage egg and cheese with grilled onions and cherry peppers on a hard roll!! - Delis Near Me - Cheshire, Connecticut

New management is not familiar with how to make a good breakfast sandwich. They condensed the space and changed the menu. My sandwich was bland and everything tasted microwaved. Wish the old owners didn't sell out. Nice people but bad food read more

Great spot. Have been going here for twenty years when in town. Highly recommend. The sandwich's are delicious. Staff is kind

This place is actually now Mabel's Table at Michael's Deli-- new ownership. I loved everything about this place. Their sandwich menu has a TON of different options that all sound delicious-- or you can make your own. They also offer salads and homemade soup! They also have omelets and breakfast sandwiches (on my list to try next!) Walking in felt like walking into a close neighbor's house... the staff were all very friendly and engaging with each other in a comfortable & homey way. They answered all my questions and were friendly. Specialty sandwiches come with a little side-- potato salad, spicy potato salad, cowboy caviar w chips, coleslaw, etc... The spicy potato salad was very flavorful, had a nice kick, & I don't think you can ever go wrong with cowboy caviar. You can order for pickup and they'll have it ready or walk up to the counter. You can also sit & stay/order at a table. I will definitely be returning here very soon! read more

Got a chicken cutlet on a hard roll and a tuna sandwich. They were both pretty decent. But waaaay over priced for the tiny size. 22$ for two hard roll sandwiches? Come on. Never coming back due to the tiny portion for the money read more

Awesome food here...I had the Reuben and it was great! Highly recommend this place. Also the friendly service from the front counter greeting and explaining their menu all the way down to them bringing my sandwich out to my table was top notch and really brought it all together for a great experience! read more

Today is the first time I've tried Michaels Deli for breakfast and I must say that as simple as my dish is/was, my two eggs, home fries, thick slices of bacon were PERFECT. Michael's is definitely not a greasy spoon kind of joint unlike "other" sit down spots in Cheshire. My simple two egg platter wasn't greasy at all actually. The potatoes were seasoned delightfully and the decor I here is just pleasant and appealing to the eye. I give the owner/operator a lot of credit. A delicious breakfast served up classy and hot! I'll be back. I wish y'all were open on sundays though! read more

My fiancé goes here mostly every day for lunch. I decided today that i'd meet him for lunch and he ended up taking me here. He rants and rave about how good their sandwiches are. Today I had a chicken salad sandwich and it was THE BEST chicken salad sandwich i've ever had. My partner had a grilled turkey rueben and he devoured it! Awesome please to go! They can get pretty busy too which means something good! Keep up the good work! You don't find many good family owned business nowadays. read more

Michael's Deli - Chicken Salad Sandwich - Delis Near Me - Cheshire, Connecticut

This place is for the birds! Everyone is getting abused with expensive prices and mediocre service. I ordered a Reuben sandwich which was heated on a microwave and put together on a dirty cutting board whipped with the a nasty dirty rag. Of course the sandwich came with a side of potato salad and that will run you a hefty 10.75$ My advice save your money and time unless you love getting it from these folks read more

Michael's Deli - So much for trying this place! - Delis Near Me - Cheshire, Connecticut

Worst breakfast experience ever. Mable's Table and Michael's Deli. Poorly greeted for breakfast. Not offered coffee or water. Waiter appeared to be a high school boy, totally unprepared , likely an owners son based on lack of involvement. Food order was given. I got a breakfast sandwich, waiter asked me what type of toast did I want with my side order with my sandwich. I was like what, side order of toast with a breakfast sandwich. He advised, most people get a side order...... right Once again, no option to get coffee or water, went to counter to request it. Food came out and was promptly brought to wrong table. There were a total of 3 customers in restaurant. Two customers at my table 1 other customer at other table. Food went back in kitchen , then out again to wrong table. There were 5 employees working and 3 customers. Nobody could figure out the order. Four of the 5 employees game out. This shlept around food was then brought to our table with the sides wrong. Worst restaurant experience ever in my 60 yr old life. Owners, workers , family who ever was working was clueless. Plenty of great spots in Cheshire and Southington. Stay away from this one. read more

Worst sandwiches in town and customer service to match. The most unfriendly and unhelpful counter people I've ever met. Used to eat here all the time when I was younger but it has really gone downhill. Not to mention the prices are outrageous considering how poor the quality is. There are a dozen better places to eat in Cheshire and the surrounding area. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. read more

Ahh, the pitfalls of Yelp-- we miss these small neighborhood gems. I've lived in Cheshire for most of my life and had no clue it was here. They're clearly not suffering for business. Lunch hour was PACKED. Most were in formal clothing, so I'm assuming people stop here for lunch break, and I don't blame them! I ordered a pulled bbq chicken wrap. A great sauce, not overwhelming at all, and the fresh tomato and lettuce was a surprisingly good complement. The side potato salad also had some extra spice, and I really appreciated the twist. I gather they have a few specials everyday, and I'll certainly be back for lunch. read more

Had some job training near home today, so got to have lunch with the hubby on my break. We decided to check out Michael's Deli. It had a comfortable, homey feel to it with a few tables for the lunch crowd. There are specials posted on their website everyday, so I already had an idea of what I wanted today. We shared the cheeseburger soup--chock full of ground beef and diced tomatoes that gave it a nice, hearty texture and flavor. I had the chicken caesar asiago wrap--not sure where the asiago was since it appeared to have american cheese, so the wrap was average, nothing special. Tom had the Junior's favorite--grilled chicken, roasted red peppers, pesto mayo, provolone cheese and greens--very enjoyable! A nice place to stop instead of the usual lunch choices. Business was steady the entire time, which is always a good sign! read more

I have eaten far too many Reuben sandwiches from far too many establishments for far too many years (i.e. Reuben connoisseur). Today I had the best Reuben that I have ever enjoyed, courtesy of Michael's Deli. Tender, think-cut corned beef was such a welcomed surprise. If that wasn't enough, I opted for a half-sandwich/soup combo, and was blown away by the Shepherd's Pie soup. Needless to say, my St. Patrick's Day food cravings were completely satisfied. Simply you can taste the love in the food here, and I look forward to returning. read more

As delis are concerned, Michael's is Cheshire's best kept secret. Great fresh food, reasonably priced with a friendly staff.

Today's credit for picking a lunch restaurant goes to my junior foodie daughter. She said this place wasn't too far from the duckpin lanes we were going to. Read the reviews and so I agreed. We bowled and headed on over. Simple looking place from the outside. Walk in warm and inviting. We decided on the following for food. From today's specials board their chicken cordon blue sandwich and the Ruben from the regular menu. This mostly came from my daughter couldn't make a decision so I ordered the other so we could have both. Both sandwiches were amazing. We added a cup of the chili and a bowl of the tomato eggplant. The chili screamed that it needed cheese but I am a cheese freak when it comes to chili. I asked for advice between the chicken noodle and the tomato eggplant. So glad I followed the ladies advice. That soup was AMAZING!!!!!!! We daughter occasionally has things that she does in Cheshire and wants to come back for breakfast. Anyone think I'm going to say no? read more

This is the best breakfast in Cheshire. Although, most people have trouble finding this place or are not aware that they are open for breakfast, Michael's breakfast specials can't be beat. There are usually 4 or 5 specials daily or you can order the usual fare off the menu. Be prepared, the portions are large, but the food is always great and served quickly. If you are tired of the has-been "who's who/come to chew" joint in the north end of town, give Michael's a try. You will not be disappointed. read more

The food at Michael's is amazing. Quality ingredients + a solid menu makes Michael's the perfect spot for lunch. The only downside is that the coffee is not great and the ambiance isn't as young or fun as the nearby cafés. read more

This is a go to place if your in the Cheshire area. This What wrap with roast beef is truly delicious. All fresh condiments at this place, no cheap add ons here. I will definitely be back to order more fresh food. read more

Got 2 Reubens on rye with pastrami and they were out of this world. Hit the spot after hiking. We got cowboy caviar and spicy potatoes as sides, cowboy caviar was decent, chips could use more salt. Spicy potatoes were sub-par. Would get cowboy caviar over spicy potatoes but if we were to go again, I'd try out the bean salad read more

Fantastic deli and restaurant in the heart of Cheshire, that you could easily miss if you're not looking for it. Their breakfast and omelettes are top notch, and their sandwiches (with fresh sides) are served with only the freshest ingredients, and always on a fresh roll or bread of your choice. The portion sizes and attention to detail make all of their dishes worthy of a return visit, at least on a weekly basis. We're huge fans of Michael's in our house and look forward to each and every meal Michael and his team serve up. read more

Thank you for catering my pool party. The food was delish! Everyone raved. You guys are the BEST! Also, when I eat at Michael's the people working there are friendly and nice. I don't know about these other Yelpers who think it is not friendly. Everyone is entitled to a bad day. I am sure they are not all sunshine and unicorn farts everyday. read more

This place is a little gem tucked into the back of a plaza in the center of Cheshire. It's can be a little difficult to find but it's worth the effort. I've been there about 10 times for lunch over the past 3 - 4 months and haven't been disappointed. There's always an interesting lunch special so it's never the same old, same old. The food is great, the place is clean and the service is very good as well. It's nice to go into a small family restaurant where you're served by people who take pride in what they do. read more

A family owned Deli with such a wonderful warm atmosphere. I had the grill chicken wrap with the works. It was not only a delicious wrap, but so filling I shared the other half of the wrap with my husband. A place worth checking out. read more

Wonderful breakfast and lunch,food is very fresh and prepared with an artisan flair.The only drawback is the woman at the front Not a friendly person,more like rude.I think she is in the wrong business because she doesn't seem like she wants to wait on you If she was friendly or another person at front counter they would need more tables read more

Best deli lunch food in CT. Absolutely amazing and super friendly staff!! Been going here for years and won't stop! I live out of town these days, but when I'm home in CT I go to Michael's multiple times because it's that good. read more

Great people, great food= great business. read more

Difficult to review, best to get takeout from Here. I've never had a bad meal, but the (wife?) women that waits on you is rude and nasty. It's too bad she's there, because I would make this place a regular. Delicious salads , sandwiches, and breakfast. I've eaten in 4/5 times and she's always there and always unpleasant. read more

Checked this place out because I heard it was great and it certainly is!! It was incredibly homey and comfortable. The staff is great and they have specials posted daily. I love being able to come here for lunch on my break. It's super yummy and convenient. The portions are great and food arrives fast. Highly recommended! read more
