The msm deli sandwich is so good. Everything feels so fresh- it's all really neatly made and the whole package is so good. I'm still thinking about this sandwich 2 weeks later. The chicken caeser sandwich lacked some depth/ flavor so I would recommend the signature sandwich if you were debating between the two. read more

You can tell it's under new ownership. The quality of the food has gone down hill. This used to be the best sandwich in Tacoma, but I would say go somewhere else. The bread is dry, the meat quality is sub par. It's a long wait time for nothing great. read more

Line was super long, no one picked up the phone so we assumed it was busy! (45 minute wait for sandwiches.) You would not expect much from the outside but the sandwiches are great! There's a reason they're so busy. There's a bigger room in the back with tables where you can eat. read more

Seriously, the best deli sandwiches I've ever had in my whole entire life. The customer services A1 this place has been around for at least 30 years that I'm aware of the service is great and the ambience is great. The staff behind the counter works very hard and diligent in getting your order correct they use the best ingredients in house. Everything is cut. It is amazing. I mean it's 20 bucks for a sandwich but it's definitely worth it and I got two meals out of my sandwich. It's conveniently located right off of sixth Avenue easy to find and has a large ample parking area. If you don't go here you're crazy. read more

This is the kind of sandwich I dream about. If your a guy who gets a 12 inch at a sub chain you only want about a medium here. I ordered a large and ate until I was stuffed and still had half a sub. Prices are good, and they have a good selection of chips and soda, not just your standard 3 flavors like most chains..I want to give an extra shout out to the thick slices of gabbagoul . YUM! Be warned there is often a 30 to 60 minute wait during the peak hours... Trust me it's worth the wait. Just call and order your sub ahead of time if you don't want to wait. read more

Had an EXCELLENT experience here. I asked what was popular and was told the Deli Club or Mikes Deluxe. The Club was the employees favorite for the crunchy bacon and avocado. So I went with the Deli Club. Girls love them some avocado. $18.99 for a $13 inch sub seemed a little high priced until I saw the sandwich. Like they really mean 13"!!!! It was wrapped in butcher paper because this Sammie is so massive. It easily could feed 2 people, one of them having a large appetite! Every bite was delicious, not dry corners of bread on the edges at all. And somehow they've mastered that with each bite you take the filling actually doesn't slide out. It's freaking tasty magic!! The avocado spread must have been a tiny bit salted because best avocado I've had in a while!! Yes I noticed. I was glad I got the club because the REAL triple bacon crunch paired with the avocado and turkey was phenomenal. I even thought the shredded type lettuce worked well in this sub. And no soggy tomato slices! The Sammie was a 10/10. I only wished I lived closer so I could get a reasonably priced lunch or dinner anytime from here. Man how do the employees stop themselves from eating here all the time? I wouldn't be able to. Do yourself a favor and stop in sometime. Heck the beverage selection will even blow you away. read more

Wanted a good Deli sandwich for awhile and MSM was the recommended place to go. It was just as I expected. A good Deli, the service was awesome and the young lady who helped made it easy to find good selection. Hey it's a Deli and has that Deli atmosphere. You can tell it's a good place because the to go orders were consistently being called in and the foot traffic was just as busy. If people are willing to wait 24-30min for a sandwich then it has to be good. It is very good and worth the visit and wait. So go order and enjoy. read more

Excellent sandwich spot. Stumbled into this very unassuming deli/market during the art walk. I read excellent reviews and my bff said it's very good. It's a simple deli with your traditional sandwich options (although I eyeballed a Cubano on the menu). I ordered the turkey club, 9" which was incredibly generous! This was very good and satisfied a sandwich craving I had. read more

MSM Deli - Delis Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

One of the best sandwich spots in Washington--maybe even the entire PNW! I've known about MSM for a while, and I finally made the stop... and WOW, I'm so glad I did! This place is everything a sandwich shop should be, fresh, flavorful, and absolutely worth the hype. I went with the Mike's Deluxe, thanks to a friend's recommendation, and let me tell you, it was next-level amazing. Every bite was packed with fresh, high-quality ingredients, and you can just taste the care that goes into making each sandwich. Beyond the food, the service was outstanding. The staff was super kind and welcoming, and even though the shop was packed, they kept things moving efficiently. Heads up: This place is wildly popular, so if you don't order ahead, be ready for a bit of a wait. I arrived around 2:45 PM and waited 25 minutes, but honestly? Totally worth it. If you love sandwiches, MSM is a must-visit. Don't walk, RUN to this gem! read more

MSM Deli - Mike's deluxe - Delis Near Me - Tacoma, Washington

Been going to this deli for YEARS! Absolutely love the sandwich's but the energy from some of the older employees wasnt the vibe. It was very off putting. They also need a revamp and the ability to tip on my own with debit and credit and not a set amount ahead of time; makes tipping very awkward. read more

After seeing the reviews and comments, I had to try this place. We dropped off the kid and my wife and I headed to this sandwich haven. I love a good cuban sandwich, but it has to be a real cuban sandwich. Good roll pressed yep Slow cooked pork yes Ham nice quantity Dill pickles & Yellow mustard absolutely necessary and don't give me the seeded or Grey poupon...it doesn't have the right flavor. Don't try fancy pickles...it doesn't work. Swiss cheese check No mayo. Get that away from my sandwich. From the 1st bite, I was hooked. I love the amazing umami flavors or the rich slow roasted pork mixed with the perfectly salted ham. Then comes in those tart flavors of the pickles and mustard, it start to hit all my favorite flavors in something that never made sense in my mind, but blows away with how it works. The swiss cheese balances things perfectly. I just love a real cuban sandwich. I can't even remember or care what else was ordered...it just doesn't matter. read more

I've been coming to MSM Deli for over 10 years now and realized I probably should finally give them a review. It's not in the best area of Tacoma, but it's always worth it. I got the deli club with a pickle, and it was exactly what I wanted. The sandwich is stacked, fresh, and just done right. Nothing over the top, just really solid ingredients that hit every time. And the pickle is that perfect crisp, tangy bite on the side. This place has been consistent for years, which honestly says everything. No frills, just really good food that keeps you coming back. read more

MSM will forever be a staple. The long wait times are always worth it. Their ingredients are fresh and sandwiches are tried and true. I wish they did delivery! read more

Favorite sandwich in the area! Cookies are amazing I always enjoy it while I wait! It's worth the wait

We came here based on my daughter's insistence this was the best sandwiches near her campus. They were excellent. Everything from the service to the fresh ingredients were really great. They quoted a time and it was exactly to the minute ready. I tried their Mikes Deluxe, even the 6 inch was ginormous. A delicious dose of ham, turkey, roast beef, cheddar and Swiss with veggies and sprouts. So delicious! The bread was soft but not too soft and everything tasted fresh. There is a no frills eating area in the back past the coolers. Plenty of chips and drinks to chose from. If you're going at a peak time, might want to call in your order. I can see why this is a neighborhood favorite. read more

My favorite place for sandwiches been going here for over a decade and my favorite sandwich is the deli club with honey mustard.

Great sandwiches every time. Worth the wait EVERY single time. good selection and you can make your own too. Fresh ingredients and friendly staff. read more

All the sandwiches I have eaten here are delicious. The service is quick for the amount of orders they are getting. The cashiers that have been working when I go have all been friendly. The space is small for dine in so a seat is not guaranteed. I'd pick up to go instead of banking on a table and chair. Each table has two chairs and they had 3 tables last time I went. My preferred sandwich is the philly. read more

The neighborhood I grew up in, had a local sandwich shop. This place reminds me of it! Everyone comes here and they will definitely run out of meat or soup options if you get here too late or on a sunny day. It looks pretty ran down from the outside/inside. But like someone else said, don't judge the books cover. If you want a real classic sandwich, come here! read more

Alll of gotta say, is thanks to PNW Foodies on FB who posted about the AMAZING sandwiches . It was Sunday and MSM was closing in 30 minutes, so we got there, ordered and brought home the most delicious sandwiches ever....really. I love local places and couldn't believe that these amazing sandwiches were not on our radar. Super clean deli, made to order on house made bread. so good!! read more

This place is a neighborhood sandwich shop. It is very busy- I recommend calling at least 30 minutes in advance if you want to get your sandwich. Otherwise you will be waiting at least 30 to 40 minutes. The reason they are busy is because it is so good. They have very reasonable price prices and the standard sandwich (9 inches) is so huge. My favorite thing to get there is the deluxe sandwich which comes with roast beef, ham, and turkey and a lot of veggies. They also have hot sandwiches although I haven't tried those but I'm sure they're great. The ambience is what you would expect for a hometown sandwich shop. Nothing fancy, but clean. I don't recommend staying there and eating. There really isn't anywhere to sit in there. There are a couple tables, although they are usually occupied by people waiting to pick up their sandwiches. They have a lot of drink options and chip options, which is always recommended when I am getting a sandwich. This is definitely my favorite sandwich shop in the area. read more

Still soooo good. This place better never close down. I love their style and variety of sandwiches. Still super busy and great quality. This time I tried the Cuban. It was a 30 minute wait so I went out and ran a short errand and returned for my order. It was expertly made and came with a pickle spear! Great job Magical Sandwich Makers! Try this place! read more

There are only 2 tables so don't count on eating in but go! read more

Nothing beats a Mike's Deluxe! Well, aside from pairing it with a freshly baked cookie. If it's lunch you're after, MSM is a great choice. Make sure you call ahead to order if you're short on time. This popular Tacoma favorite is always busy for the lunch rush. The staff is always up for the challenge, making fresh, tasty sandwiches with a smile. No matter your tastes, they have something you will surely love. Aside from great in house made food, they also have a great selection of drinks, snacks and chips to go along with your lunch. I have been eating here for over 25 years and have never had a bad experience. Don't let the building fool you, the food will bring you back for years to come read more

My son has deemed this the "best peanut butter and jelly" he's ever had! He says it was the perfect ratio of peanut butter to jelly and the bread with less crust was also fantastic. Visited on a busy Tuesday with friends. There was a long line but everyone had it together and the team clearly knows how to work under pressure! All of our orders were what we asked for and the staff were kind and knowledgeable. My girlfriend was thrilled they have shredded lettuce for their sandwiches which is her favorite. Will definitely stop by again soon. read more

This was my first time here as I was working close by. I ordered the 9-in Deli Club which came with turkey, bacon, cheddar, sprouts, tomatos, onions and avocado. It looked like the bread was fresh made but this sandwich was fantastic! The balance of smokiness from the bacon with the creaminess from the avocado and the freshness from the tomatoes and sprouts made this sandwich perfect. I went during lunch so it was about a 15 to 20 minute wait, but I have no problem waiting for a great product. Next time I would order ahead just to save a little bit of time, but this sandwich was absolutely worth it! read more

MSM Deli - A Tacoma Must-Visit! Every time I'm in Tacoma, I make it a point to stop by MSM Deli--hands down, they have the best sandwiches around. I always order the Deli Club, which comes stacked with turkey, crispy bacon, fresh sprouts, and other delicious toppings, all on their amazing French bread. The bread alone is worth the visit--soft inside with the perfect crust. They've been serving the community since the early '80s, and their loyal following shows why. The place is popular for a reason, so I definitely recommend calling your order in ahead of time to skip the wait. MSM Deli is a true local gem, and I can't wait for my next visit! read more

Best Sammies in Tacoma! Food has been consistent for years. The only thing to remember is sometimes they get crazy busy! So try to call in your order ahead if you can. The building itself is unassuming and white with blue trim. So if you don't know the area, gotta pay attention or you might pass it. My go to is the Catch of the Day and has been for as long as I can remember. They also have chips (not the British kinds lol) and beverages like a mini-Mart so you can extra goodies. They also have soups, pitas and salads if that's more your jam. Sometimes the soups do get sold out, so be sure to ask ahead or order that in advance. I've ordered the party size subs a few times too, and they are a hit at the parties. So don't hesitate to try MSM, they aren't called that for no reason. Gotta experience the Magical Sandwich Makers or else you're missing out! read more

Lived in Pierce County for several years and we finally tried MSM Deli. Lots of choices on the menu. We chose the Mike's Deluxe and the Reuben. Both were delicious. The Mike's was huge and I got the smallest one! Reuben average size, maybe a little thinner than we expected based on other sandwich sizes. The bread on the Mike's was really good like it was baked fresh the same day. The meat tasted like good quality deli meats. The pickle spears also good and crunchy. The cookies were really really good! Started out with 2, but after tasting one, I went back to the counter and ordered 2 more! They were chocolate chip coconut, and macadamia mix. There is a very large and chips. We settled on the coke in the glass bottles, even though they had Coke and cans and plastic bottles the Coke in the glass bottles there's no comparison. Prices were very reasonable. Staff was all kind, courteous, and patient with us as we were mulling over the menu choices. We went at about 1pm and there was a 20min wait. Dining area with tables and chairs in the back. We wouldn't have known about the dining area if staff didn't tell us . We are looking forward to returning to try other menu options. read more

Honestly mid tier sandwich. If you cant get an Italian right, somethings wrong. Made with no love. And who on Earth puts pickles on an Italian? I understand that its a town favorite, possibly due to a cult following. It was quite busy when I arrived with a 20 minute wait for this sad excuse for a sandwich. I'd recommend Subway or Jersey Mikes instead. read more
