    Quality of food went down after new owners and it wasn't great before that. Wouldn't waste your money

    This place is a hidden gem. It's in a small town but the food is great with great prices. Generous portions and nice small town feel.

But we just wanted lunch so it was fine! The menu is small but it was fine - we all found something we liked and when one of us didn't, the person behind the counter made her a grilled sandwich to order. I got a grilled chicken BLT. It was not a traditional chicken breast but something along the lines of a chipped chicken lunchmeat. Overall, it was "ok" - it tasted ok and it filled my stomach. The custom grilled sandwich was a tad soggy but tasted "ok" as did the meatball sub. No serious complaints but nothing exceptional either. Maybe it was just our preferences or maybe it was just who was cooking that day. ‍

Certainly nothing fancy looking from the outside, across the street from a rundown outlet mall. There was one guy working the bar and the deli. He was the bartender, cook, waiter and seemingly most everything else. However he was very nice and accommodating for us. We ordered two different sandwiches. All said they were very good food. Not a bad place to get a quick bite if you don't mind simple food in a bare minimum bar type environment.

    There are NO deli's that I aware of in Grand Rapids. Once upon a time there was at least one that…read morewas pretty good. Long gone. If you want corned beef or pastrami, greasy grocery store deli meat just doesn't cut it. Checking Yelp delis. I looked in every direction and decided to drive to East Lansing as my corned beef withdrawal pains were getting worse. Stateside Deli sits in a shopping plaza a few miles southeast from MSU. When we arrived both booths and tables were available just after the lunch rush. Just guessing, i'd say there are between 25-30 tables and booths. Even though I didn't need to, I studied the menu knowing that I would probably only get corned beef or pastrami. The soups however looked great as well. I ordered my corned beef extra lean partially as a test and mostly because that is how I like it. Served on toasted rye, that' is exactly how it came. My first bites were euphoric. It only got better. My wife ordered half a sandwich (tuna melt on wheat) along with matzah ball soup. She loved hers as well. I can tell because both the bowl and plate were empty when she was done. She will often not finish if the food is "just OK" Service was excellent and "seamless". One server saw my drink almost empty and quickly returned with another. Another server asked if we needed anything as she was walking by. Our server also kept checking with us to see if we needed anything or if we were enjoying our lunch. If this is the closest deli, so be it. We will be back as often as practical. Only drawback is the hour drive each way and approximately $28 worth of gas.

We were sat right away at what we thought was the best table in the place - back corner where we could see everything. We liked that the booth was elevated so we had a great view of the stage for when the artist came back from a break. Our and a server brought us water when bringing menus - which I appreciate. We ordered cocktails, he had the smoked old fashioned. He said it was the best one he'd had in a long time. I had the blueberry lavender Collins it was quite refreshing. To eat we had the Baked Feta to start. It was interesting, it was cubed instead of whipped or somehow smoother. A little hard to explain. The halved cherry tomatoes and cloves of roasted garlic made it for me. The feta was warm, but it didn't really spread. Adding the tomatoes completely changed the overall flavor. They were a little sweet and paired nicely with the sharp tang of the feta. We also split the Dune sandwich. Big fans! The turkey was warm, the focaccia was light and fluffy. Served with a pile of kettle chips. The music was a man and his guitar. A one man show of sorts, he was great. We had a great experience and we will go again, for sure. We want to try the flatbread next time!

We ordered a couple sandwiches and flatbreads from here to go yesterday. Seemed to be light on the meat (i.e. not much turkey or chicken respectively) and too heavy on the sauce (mayo, mustard, etc.) so much that the sandwiches were dripping sauce. Looks like they have a nice backyard bar with music, but if you're looking for sandwiches - I'd pass.
