The restaurant itself was clean, calm, and welcoming, and the food coming out of the kitchen looked really good. They do offer gluten-free buns, which was exciting to see at first. When I asked about the meats though, the person at the counter let me know that their meat options aren't gluten-free. Since I have Celiac disease, that meant I wasn't able to order anything. I did appreciate how straightforward and accommodating the staff were about it. They answered my questions without hesitation, which is always helpful when navigating gluten-free dining. Even though I couldn't eat there, the place looked well run and the atmosphere was nice. I'd still recommend it if gluten isn't a concern.

Came in here with my son for lunch. My initial reaction was that the sandwiches were a bit pricey…read more I had a large Detroiter, basically a Reuben with coleslaw instead of kraut. My kid had a hot pastrami sandwich. Let me start by saying that my sandwich was not only perfect, but it was massive. Expensive? Yes. But I more than got what I paid for. This felt like it was right around a pound of meat absolutely massive, it's 7 hours later and I am not even close to hungry. Great value here! Staff is friendly too. Basic interior, nothing fancy here. But the good is great. I highly suggest you order at the counter, not the kiosk, they have a ton of stuff not on the menu on the kiosk! J.Ja

This is my fav and ideal location - let's start there, but my most recent encounter 2 days ago was…read moredreadful. The horrible experience was not even warranted and was filled with over talking me as the customer and a back and forth dialogue that resulted in me ordering the exact item I came to buy, but was told by the employee they no longer made, even though it was listed ON THE MENU. I have been ordering this hummus + beet salad for years, so far back to the original salad before the dressing was changed to the berry vinaigrette. I came to order two of these salads and Dimmer (smoothie I order almost exclusively), and all was well until the cashier was told AFTER ringing me up that Beyond no longer made the hummus + beet salad! Bummed, I take a moment to decide if I wanted something else or leave, and then the confusion begins. I state the salad is listed on the menu, so if it is discontinued why is it still available for order. The cashier was clueless taking order from her coworker, and this woman starts telling me the salad is gone and mentions a Greek salad, peppers, all of this frivolous info; and I begin telling her I ordered the salad in September...shes asks me "September of 2024? Or this year?" I found this conversation very unprofessional and it served no purpose, only for her to tell me I can BUILD THE SALAD that I want and they have ALL of the ingredients of said salad. In the end, I ordered the EXACT salad listed on the menu, so I am still bewildered as to why your employee was telling me about discontinued salads, ingredients and info that did not pertain to my order at that moment! I left frustrated as a loyal customer (HORRIBLE customer service), and now have to contemplate bypassing this convenient location to travel elsewhere when I want Beyond. To add insult, I asked the cashier for Balsamic dressing instead of the berry, and of course my two salads had the wrong dressing. I tasted the dressing to ensure I was correct (as to avoid another poor encounter with this staff) but ended up requesting the dressing I asked for. Do you know the young lady asked me to give her back the dressing packaged in my salads??? I tell her that I dipped my finger in the dressing and stood there waiting for her to correct my request, and another customer even told her "just give her the dressing!" Might I add that she was careless in giving me only 1 Balsamic and some other dressing, so I had to bring THIS to her attention too. All I am thinking is cross contamination and the young lady putting my wrong dressing back into the fridge (mind you my fingers would have touched the container that would be put into someone else's order). Ambiance is just okay and the staff made it unpleasant. Do better.

While cruising through the heart of Royal Oak, I noticed this little deli shop, calling my name…read morepast apartment buildings and local scenery. They have an extensive menu to include vegetarian options which was nice to see. They also have many local brands to include chips, sodas, and other small local business products (caramelized nuts, baked goods, etc.)! On the topic of local businesses, they also had a board which allowed local owners to post business cards and event alerts, fantastic for drawing the community together. Now, I ordered a Reuben as a lover of corned beef and sauerkraut. It was delicious and sizeable, a fair portion size for the money as well. The chips were also delicious having gone for the salt, pepper, and onion variety. A solid crunch and bursting with flavor. Among the positives I have two negatives, both of which are not adequate enough to lower their star ranking. Firstly, it took around 20-25 minutes to get our food after ordering. I rarely hold timing against a restaurant as having worked in food, I know lunch rush exists and things happen. To mitigate this (for those in the area) I believe they have an online ordering system, which I would recommend utilizing! Secondly, they do not have indoor seating, so it is a very grab and go type establishment. This is counteracted by the multitude of benches around Royal Oak, though it would be nice to have some amount of seating, especially for those with accessibility needs and those waiting on their food. Overall, Oak House Deli is solid and delicious and I will definitely stop by again when I am in the area!

First of all the burger week place should have had open/close times listed on the app. Second, it's sliced deli meat... you can't slice up some lunch meat a few minutes before 11am. That's crazy. Edit: came back next day and actually HAD the sandwich I came for. Sandwich was VERY good. A little too much sauce but otherwise great. Flavor was good. Customer service still wasn't the best. Took 30 minutes for a sandwich. But I did get a free pickle.

Ordered a chicken shawarma salad, shug hot sauce, side of hummus, side of pickled chili, falafel balls, side of cauliflower. $39.47 No receipt, text or email only via the kiosk order and payment method. The greens, mostly the red leaves are soggy and wilted. The pickled red cabbage is decent. The shawarma is so-so. The chicken shawarma salad is average. Chicken and overall salad ingredients are rather salty. The cauliflower dish is underwhelming. Big pieces of flower, not super flavorful. The pickled chili is okay. The side of hummus is very small, barely worth getting it, not enough for much. Falafel isn't bad with the tahini.

First time here was a disappointing experience. I read in the Troy Times newspaper that Troy…read moreChamber of Congress was hosting a "Step up to the Plate" event to support the Troy School District where you could dine at 12 local restaurants and get 20% off your bill on April 12th to April 17th. Central Park Deli was the first restaurant on the list to participate. The article said mention the ad from Troy Times or Facebook to get the 20% off your bill. Afterwards, save your receipt to turn into the Troy school of your choice. The school that collects the most money in receipts will win $1,000 cash prize. Unfortunately the employees said no, we aren't participating in that and other customers mention this and we won't honor the discount. I showed them the FB announcement where their Deli was clearly listed and they still said No. ??? This made me frustrated. My total for a wrap, cauliflower bites, and a drink was $22. No discount. False advertising and unpleasant customer service. I posted the Facebook announcement of their restaurant listed below in my pictures. On the positive side, the deli is very clean and food was delicious. Their menu is extensive with many choices of wraps, salads, sandwiches and soup. I appreciate you can customize your wrap with a gluten-free wrap and not many delis in the area have that option.

I very much enjoyed the sandwich but the value at $17 is a little much - the height was perfect but felt the overall size was a bit lacking. Also - depending on your preference, I would probably order extra coleslaw if I ordered this sandwich again, the ratio of beef to slaw was a bit lacking. The cream of broccoli was a nice accompaniment to the sandwich but was kind of salty and a bit on the starchy side. Overall - definitely a good place for a deli sandwich just a little on the pricey side - think Zingermans without the friendly service....
