    Mr Sharon O.

    Busy lical establishment, family owned, decent pricing and quality, great alternative for thd big chains while in downtown / midtown area

    ABC Croissant
    Chris S.

    I was delighted to stop into Michael's Deli for lunch and now I understand the fuss. Though it was quite busy but what could I expect from a deli during lunch. The menu was plentiful with options from which I selected the ABC Croissant (avocado, bacon, chicken salad). It was quite good. The avocado was peak ripe and the croissant was soft. They have a limited amount of outdoor seating which was nice to utilize but overall it is geared more towards a grab and go meal.

    Philly cheesesteak and macaroni salad .
    Jimmy W.

    I had the most delicious Philly cheesesteak sandwich, and Macaroni Salad that I have had in quite a while. Everyone I have spoke too said nothing but good things about this place . The service was fabulous the place was busy even at 11 am . Top tier deli , highly recommend...

    Chicken apple salad
    Rob B.

    I met a friend here for lunch on a Thursday afternoon. We got there at 11:30 because we knew it gets busy during the noon hour. And we were right. It got busy. I had the chicken apple salad on a bit of Romain lettuce. It also came with walnuts, blue cheese crumbles, and a raspberry vinaigrette. It was definitely good sized and quite delicious. The lettuce and apples were very fresh and the candied walnuts and blue cheese crumbles were a nice touch. It also came with a small piece of garlic toast. I've been to Michael's several times and have never been disappointed. I have to tell you their sandwiches and potato salad are amazing. If you go, get there early to avoid the long lines!

    Caprese Salad
    Marc P.

    Everything I have had here is good! This time we had a Mandarin Chicken Salad and Caprese Salad. The Caprese Salad was delicious! A generous serving of tomato and mozzarella cheese. I devoured the entire thing. The report about the Mandarin Chicken Salad was equally enthusiastic. The sandwiches we have had there in the past were also delicious. If you are looking for a nice deli to have lunch at this is one to check out.

    Mark A.

    The hype is real. Two of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Generous portions of meat, nice bread and fresh veggies. The Chepe (Roast beef, blue cheese, garlic aioli and roasted peppers) was the thing dreams are made of. The staff were all wonderful and the decor of the restaurant gave it a no frills locals vibe that I appreciated. If you are in Reno for lunch give this place a try.

    Cobb salad
    Kia J.

    They have the best salads I have ever had and so fulfilling. It does get busy during the lunch rush you can call ahead or order there the wait is not long for your food. They have multiple people working to get the orders out. It's small place not much room for seating l.

    Michael's Deli is not a "sandwich shop". It's an institution. For as long as I've been in Reno this place has been here serving the neighborhood with great food, wonderful quick service, friendly faces and amazing prices. The building is owned by a long-standing local family dating back to the 19th century, not some private equity firm. They stand for Reno and serve the community well. Breakfast is served until 10:30 am, which I don't think many people realize. In a time where so many businesses are held hostage by high rents and disinterested landlords, this place is a welcome oasis that reminds you of what this town is all about. I highly recommend you stop by and have a bite.

    Such a cute and nostalgic spot. Tons of seating, welcoming atmosphere and the staff is great. Parking can be tricky, but there are street parking and about a block away is a small one way lot. The triple decker hot corn beef and pastrami sandwich was great! Fully loaded with meat and flavor. 10/10 recommend. The Chicken salad sandwich was just ok. Nothing stood out. It was missing my swiss and the bread got really soggy quickly. I wouldn't order this sandwich again. But that's ok, because the triple decker made up for it. We also ordered the sweet passion salad. That is an immediate YES! So yummy! The coconut, fruit and chicken were so delicious. I would order that salad a 100 times again.

    Interior
    Juniper A.

    Okay when someone suggested Michael's Deli I was like: where when and how? The interior was so homey and very sporty of various sports. You could chill the day away there, enjoy the pictures and the staff. The samich was yummy. Yes I called it samich, it was beautiful, to see all that green, the softness of the bread and no drowning of the mayo. It was such a delightful balance. I could probably eat 3 of those and not be full. Next time I'm trying that cauliflower soup for sure. I'll be coming back again soon!

    TAB (turkey avocado bacon) sandwich
    Candace G.

    What a lovely, authentic spot! We had just landed in Reno after an early flight and we were walking downtown looking for something to eat and Michael's Deli caught our eye and I'm so glad it did! Both of our sandwiches were so flavourful and the staff were super friendly. Each sandwich is clearly made with fresh ingredients too - my eyes were watering at the end of our stay from the staff cutting onions haha. This place is a gem!

    The TAB sandwich
    Matthew P.

    LOVED Michael's Deli! Sandwiches are the perfect size - the French Dutch bread is perfect. I got the TAB sandwich and it was so tasty, perfectly balanced. I truly loved it! We also had the Jalapeño Soup - which was creamy and so comforting for the winter months. This was phenomenal - I'd get this again every time. The apple chicken salad was MASSIVE and so so tasty. Such a great value. Everything here is such a great value. Truly one of my favorite spots in Reno - I can not wait to come back!

    Sandwich
    Caleb P.

    This place is such a GEM ! Sandwiches are off the wall ! Jorge is a really great sandwich maker. Watched him craft my sammy and it was art, thx Compa ! Service is más o menos para ser honesto. Ambiance is super cool. All decorated with sports memorabilia. Love all the Miami Dolphins stuff, FINS UP !

    I recommend.  (fyi: there are 6 military branches)

    In Reno for the weekend, my brother sent a text that says MUST EAT HERE.. DONT SKIP THE JALAPENO…read moreCHEESE BREAD! So we ordered!! I used the website and placed the order with ease, we paid and it stated the order would be ready at 2:50 pm. At 2:49 I got a text stating the order was ready. Order Cuban on oregano parm bread Trip tip with blue cheese add mayo, slaw on the side on jalapeno cheese bread. The order was picked up with ease, arrived at the house at 3:45. The sandwiches were much larger than expected, and were still nice and warm. Opened the bag to find each sandwich was wrapped and clearly labeled. The herb flavors were present in the Cuban, the pickles were mighty tasty offsetting the fat, and the vinegar in mustard tied it all together and the warm fresh crusty bread... OHHHHH MYYYYY!!! Greatttttt sandwhich! Jalapeno cheese bread with trip tip was MF FIRE !! I'd never imagine blue cheese and trip tip with jalapeno and spinach. Wowwwww it worked.. let's talk quality... quality aromatic blue cheese with a nice punch to it.. it almost melted into the bread!! The perfectly large chunks of wilted spinach from the heat of the meat, and the breaddddddddddddddd.. salty, slightly spicy from the jalapeno ... WOW NEW FAVORITE!! This sandwhich has me wanting to make some bread and find just the right blue cheese!!! SORRY BUT I DONT LIVE HERE AND HAVE TO HAVE IT!!! Will I return? HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    I am writing this review with mixed feelings. I was picking up something for someone else. While…read morewaiting for our order to be made, I was watching them making sandwiches and burritos diligently , grilling burritos on the panini griller. They had a lot of orders that they were trying to get out, but this one person accidentally put possibly mayo on a sandwich, turned around with the piece of bread in his hand, which I couldn't see what he did with it, but it was kind of wiped off, so I don't know if he scraped it on something, but he did not use a knife in my view to take it off then he took a towel to it, wiped it off and then put it on the grill for 10 seconds and then he put the correct spread on it. Now... What if that person was grossed out by mayo or allergic to something in the mayo. It would've been just as easy to get a fresh roll. That kind of grossed me out. I'm glad it wasn't ours. I have to wonder what that towel was used on. It wasn't a fresh towel. It was crumbled up. That has not sat well with me since I saw that. I think the rating on them (if I was an inspector ) would have been affected. Normally we love that place!

I added a slice of Swiss cheese to accompany my meat but in hindsight, I regret it as it took away from the overall taste of the sandwich. They clearly melted the Swiss somehow on the corned beef. Perhaps it was just from the hot sliced meat, microwaved (I doubt) or steamed? However, I was a bit disappointed as my sandwich came out fairly cold and by the feel of the bread I feel like it was ready well before it was brought out and sat a bit waiting for my mouth as the top bread was dry/crusty and the bottom slice was still steamy warm. I would have liked a hotter sandwich. For my side I chose the fries. Fresh and hot they would have been the bomb, however, like the sando, they were mediocre as they were past their prime. My dining partner had the grill pastrami (same price) with added Swiss cheese slice as well. The amount of meat on his sandwich looked 1/2 the weight/volume of mine. (I was glad with my choice.) Overall, I'll probably return for my craving of a good "Chicago Jewish deli" corned beef sandwich but will ask to be sure it's hot next time and I will also ask for freshly fried potatoes, or maybe I will try the potato salad or cole slaw. 3.5 stars out of 5. (Rounded to 4/5)

The au ju is flavorful, not too salty and doesn't leave some coat of something on your tongue.. the swiss/onion bread works so so well with everything.. the flavor of the Swiss cheese goes well with the au ju. We've had a few different sandwiches. my fiancée loved the meatloaf one and we both love the recent weekly specials.. This week is the chicken curry salad sandwich and last week was the Carolina pulled pork.. I lost my mind with that one.. so so flavorful. I couldn't stop eating it. I forgot it was a weekly special and we got it on the last day. So so sad.. wish it was a regular on the menu.. They have a list of sandwiches but you can also make your own and choose which bread you want on any of them. The thing I love about them is you can order a half sandwich. Sometimes a full sandwich is a little too much and other times you just want a lite meal.. Cant wait to swe their next weekly special.

Half the seating, everything rearranged and kinda lost its charm/vibe.. the employees at both the gas station and deli aren't rude but they never really seem happy or just having a good day and not sure what to think of that. The one thing I've noticed is both the gas station and deli are always clean. Clean tables ,clean restrooms , ect..
