Being someone who's is Brooklyn born Jew, I give this place high marks. Very impressive, the place was set up in a formal environment with also displayed some past Jewish Hollywood stars. Famous from the borscht belt performances. I really really enjoyed my meal of matzo ball soup in which the broth was elegantly poured into a large bowl with a huge matzo ball and some poached carrots. The broth was flavorful. I opted for a sandwich, after pouring over the menu on line and at the restaurant I really, really, needed pastrami. Nothing says deli with a nice bowl of pickles and some bread. Half sours and whole dill pickles. So I ordered the Russian Reuben. They offer two sizes the regular or the extra cut (probably another ounce or two) I about cannot have a pastrami without my Dr. Browns Cream soda... IYKYK... Topped it all off with a nice cinnamon pound cake. I felt this was good but it was not the best cake. I also took home some rugulah. Can't wait to come back and get my LEO OR WHITEFISH SALAD FIX! Thank you for the wonderful dinner! La Shana Tova read more

Sometimes there's nothing more satisfying than thinly-sliced meat piled high on a sturdy onion roll. That's why I've had Stage Deli on my to-go list for years. I finally made it on a free morning, just in time for an early lunch. On the day of my visit, it was cold and wet, so outdoor dining was out of the question. Just inside is a large deli counter with items available for take-out. Beyond that was a large and stylish dining room, where diners enjoyed the last of their breakfasts. I was a smidge earlier than everyone else for lunch; the dining room filled up soon afterwards. I loved the huge menu - there were so many options for soups, salads (Maurice, Greek, and Cobb, to name a few), sandwiches (Reuben's, triple deckers, and even vegetarian), burgers and hot dogs, breakfasts (omelettes, waffles, and French toast), and deli classics. I opted for the Victor Special, extra cut, which included larger portions of both corned beef and pastrami, coleslaw, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing. The thinly-sliced meat was indeed piled high at the center. For my side, I had wanted the onion rings, but they were already sold out! Instead, I went with the hash browns; they were crispy with a mashed potato-like interior. In retrospect, I should have tried some of the foods I've enjoyed from my hometown: knishes, blintzes, latkes; I'm now dreaming of meals I've had in my past. Service was fine at first, but my server got busy elsewhere, and her coworkers pitched in. read more

Came for Mother's Day brunch. It was really busy. And while it was a slightly chilly day, we decided to eat outside so we wouldn't have to wait an hour. The only issue is, I'm guessing the kitchen was backed up and the servers were a bit overwhelmed. We ended up having an enjoyable meal, and the food itself was great as always. And eventually someone who was not technically our server took care of us and did an excellent job. I shared eggs and challah french toast with my daughter and both were great. The latte (ehhh) ... Maybe just get regular coffee. I was in the mood but they don't do almond milk in it and it was just OK. So I wouldn't get that again here. read more

I've been interested in trying the Stage Deli since my last visit to Katz's in NYC to have some traditional Jewish deli! I had the #32 pastrami on rye and it was pretty tasty. The portions are OK and I really enjoy steak fries so that was a plus! The atmosphere is light and open, and if you're in the mood there is a take out counter as well. My server was very attentive and friendly and i got a really good fresh deli style dill pickle with my sandwich, yum! I'm not sure if i'll ever make it back, but was glad to give the Stage Deli a shot. read more

This was an unexpected visit. We were visiting the nearby Holocaust Center and grabbed a bite after. We got recommended to go by the lady in the Holocaust Center's gift shop. This was well worth the visit in the pouring rain. The size of the deli sandwich was unbelievable and I ate off of it for little over two days. The sandwich and pickle were very flavorful and I look forward to going back. The dining area was lit for an early evening bite. The service was fast and friendly. read more

Ordered their thanksgiving dinner for eight last week and it was superb!! It really was enough for 10-12 people. The turkey was the best I've ever had...moist and tender with no gamey smell. All the sides were incredible. We paid $425 which included an additional side ($26), tax and tip. Desert is an extra charge as are additional sides. This has gotta be the best kept secret in West Bloomfield Township! They were extremely professional and had my order ready in time and even loaded the item in my trunk. I think I'm going to order thanksgiving dinner from Stage Deli from now on. It was that good!!! Trust me...you won't be disappointed. read more

In town visiting and was really in the mood for a Jewish deli, this place was recommended to me, and it did not disappoint. My wife, her aunt and I visited and were seated pretty immediately, even though it was decently busy. We were sat in a back corner, and the waitress was quick and attentive. The menu had so much to offer, and I wanted to try so much from the menu Matzo Ball soup, Kreplach, Mish Mash, Knishes, French Friend Chicken Livers. Decided to go with an appetizer of the Smoked Fish Dip, which was $14 and delicious, although the Pita chips were heavily salty (I love salt, but super salty). Matzo Ball Soup $10. To be honest did not notice any chicken in the soup just broth, which was a bit bland, the Matzo ball itself was nice and dense with a good creamy consistency. I was up in the air on what sandwich I wanted, leaning towards the #34 Jack's special (Hot corned beef, Chopped Liver, Lettuce, Russian dressing)...until I saw #40 Music Man (Tender Deli Tongue, Crisp Lettuce, Tomato, Spicy Pickle, Hot mustard) $18 for the smaller size $22 for the larger (nice to split). I cannot pass tongue up! This tongue was beautifully tender and well portioned. I would 100% return if/when back in the area! read more

I love everything about Stage Deli from the pleasant atmosphere, friendly service, and above all the delicious food. And over the years, I have found the quality and taste of the food has been very consistent, whether dining in or carry out. And don't leave without checking out the deli counter and fantastic desserts. read more

We were looking for a classic Jewish deli sandwich, and Stage Deli gave us just that. The restaurant was very spacious with ample seating, and the service was great. It felt a bit outdated inside, but I didn't really mind that since it was pretty clean and well lit. I got a West Side Story with a side order of potato salad. The sandwich was great, and checked all the boxes for me. The bread was the softest rye I've ever had. I liked how fluffy it was, even though that was not exactly the texture was expecting. The pastrami was really good, and it was sliced perfectly. The coleslaw and russian dressing were fine but nothing special. The sandwich was so filling, I only had a bite or two of the potato salad, but it was really good and held up nicely in my fridge to consume later. Overall, I would definitely return. read more

Stage Deli - West side story & potato salad - Delis Near Me - West Bloomfield Township, Michigan

My pastrami sandwich was outstanding - piled high and deep. The crispy crusted rye bread with the soft interior is a fabulous combination. I can't believe how much I have missed great bread. And that is all that is needed for the sandwich unless you want some Russian dressing which is surprisingly good. I didn't expect to like it since I am team mustard. I didn't ask for my sandwich to be grilled and so glad I didn't because I couldn't get past half of the sandwich. The portions are generous and the pricing reflects that. My dining companion got the reuben and enjoyed it immensely. She got it grilled. It looked really good. In contrast, the french fries were not good. We were hoping they would be but the ones at Ember's were so much better despite both of them being frozen steak cut fries from a bag. I know better generally to stay away from fries and I don't normally get fries anyway. What was I thinking? I guess it was an optimistic moment. This is a bustling place with a fancier atmosphere than a typical deli. The desserts looked good but who makes it to dessert with these ginormous sandwiches? Our server was outstanding. It was a pretty positive experience. read more

Yummy! One of the best salads I've had in a while. Get the Stone Canyon when you visit. It was so good and the dressing was a lemony pepper dressing, it was delicious! This place is a hidden gem, the service is great, the vibe is vibrant and hip. I love it! read more

Food! My sandwich tasteless! My cornbeef sandwich worst I ever had. Overpriced My servers were great and kind. The atmosphere was nice. But everyone says this place is too expensive I will not visit again. I make a better sandwich at home read more

Imagine you walk In to get a simple sandwich for lunch. Meat, two slices of bread, and cheese... this would reasonably cost $10, maybe even $15! But image your surprise when a lunch meat sandwich is $30.... $30!! For a lunch meat sandwich , and when you ask politely "hey, I believe there was a mistake, all I got is a sandwich and my receipt says $30" the guy behind the counter acts extremely feminine and gives you a sh***y fake smile and says yeah, what's the problem... and proceeds to try his best to convince you that there is any reason a sandwich would cost $30! Hahaha what a joke! And then proceeded to just take the sandwich back and tell me to have a nice day in the most condescending tone possible. This place reinforces every stereotype for these delis, don't go here for anything, absolutely horrible in every way! read more

This place is a classic deli with a modern twist! The food has been great for many years literally never had a bad meal! They have a cool shaded outdoor seating area which is great for brunch! Excellent corned beef and soups as well! They also have a deli counter with fresh options! Only negative is the prices are just a bit high, but the quality reflects this. Excellent service We will be back! read more

Ordered nicoise salad. No potatoes no green beans. Not a nicoise salad. Arnold Palmer was $6. Not a good experience

The corn beef sandwich was good. It can be a bit pricey, but worth it. The quality of the meat is important to me and they always deliver.

My family has been eating here for decades. It's a community institution and the food is consistently amazing. I wish there was a place like this in the city where I live now. read more

We stopped for lunch at the Stage Deli on a Saturday afternoon. We were seated quickly. It is a large deli menu with soups, sandwiches, and burgers. I am sure most people could find something to their taste. We started with the Mushroom Barley soup, which was very good. We split the Fantasia sandwich (Turkey). The sandwich tasted fresh, but was dry for my taste. It could have used some sauce to give it flavor and texture. I liked the atmosphere with the painted portraits (Marilyn Monroe, etc...). The deli has a sortof New York feel. The prices were on the higher side for a deli, in my opinion, but the atmosphere and quality food justified it. I appreciate many of the items had two sizes. My wife and I both agreed we would be back to try a few other picks. Easy to like. read more

I have been coming for years here, but was disappointed - how can you run out of dill pickles? And did you change your recipe for rye bread - it was more like white bread?! The vegetarian chopped liver was delicious though. Also, VERY NOISY! read more

Food and services are both good but the prices have increased 20-25% from 2 weeks ago including an iced tea going from $4 to $5. I understand there is inflation but I don't think tea bags and water are up to that same extent read more

I've ordered carry out before and it's been delicious so yesterday was looking forward to enjoying my corned beef/pastrami sandwich. Got there 10 minutes early and sandwich was ready. Drove the 5 miles home....onion roll was rock hard/stale and the meat was cold. Nothing like I've had in the past. Worst $20 sandwich I've ever had. read more

The food is amazing and I have been coming here for over 35 years....but when u have a concern and it's the owner's young daughter that handles it, she absolutely does not care, will argue and challenge you about it, rather than listen and try to handle it professionally. She was very quick to say her dad owns it. So don't expect professionalism here, expect her to embarrass u in front of others in line. She ended our conversation w throwing $5 at me. It's not about the money.... it's about the service. read more

"Oy Vey" I didn't wanna go there in the first place, but my Hebrew friend insisted on it and I didn't feel like him whining all through dinner. Service is excellent. Everything else absolutely horrible.. next time I'm going to pick up Ry across the street read more

I've always wanted to come here. I'm an honorary Jewish member by proxy of all my Jewish Doctor Friends. I have been coughing for 2 weeks. I needed some Jewish Penicillin. I bought a quart of Matzo ball soup and drank it down, boiling hot in the parking lot. Oy Vey!! So delicious and comforting!!! I also sampled the chicken salad, potato salad and Knish noodles. Made some new friends and had saw a pseudo Celebrity (of billboard fame). The next time someone I love is sick. Pu, pu, pu... I will be fixing them straight up with this soup! read more

Have been coming here for a long time and is always consistently good. The west side story sandwich with corned beef is my go to. The matzo ball soup comes with one huge ball and is enough to feed two people. The pastrami is not as good as the corned beef but that might be personal preference. Service is always on point. Typical deli vibes here. read more

Wanted true deli food and after a yelp search decided on stage. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming and the service was excellent. My husband and I both had matzo all soup and it was very tasty. I had mine as soup with a half sandwich and went with a classic corned beef on rye with added Swiss. The flavor was good but would have liked some kind of sauce or condiment with the sandwich. I also had a side of noodle kugel and it was excellent. Creamy and sweet and the perfect temperature. My husband had the titanic and it was definitely that. He really enjoyed it and had leftovers on day 2 to finish it up. He had a side of the home made chips which were very good but a bit pricy for what they are- maybe a side of dip to go with them would make it feel like a better value? Overall we engined the food and will be back to try many other things from this classic deli read more

This is a fancy place for you to get your corned beef on. It's themed after the famous Stage Delis of the 1940-1950's and is Americana at its heart. You'll see stars and icons adorn the walls while you eat. You can have fries with Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor. It is on the pricey side so be prepared to pay star diner prices. The thing I like here the most is there corned beef West Side Story version with coleslaw and secret dressing on rye bread served with a deli pickle. I prefer the old more mature pickles as they have a richer flavor. This is a good place to take relatives or friends who are in town or a business lunch if you're getting per diem. The service is always good and everyone's friendly without overdoing it. read more

Best Dinty Moore ever!!! My husband hasn't been here in 5 years and the Dinty Moore is still outstanding! If he could have licked the plate and his fingers - he would have. I got the veggie - cauliflower- tacos with the Spanish rice and beans that come with it on the side. The cauliflower was great. Seasoned well. At issue was the beans. They looked like they had been sitting in that plate / dish all day. Hence the 4 instead of a 5. Great choices for a person who doesn't eat deli. read more

Stage Deli - Me - Delis Near Me - West Bloomfield Township, Michigan

The food is delicious. Unfortunately, the staff is just horrid. I go there regularly and the server today told me when I asked for some extra broth for my matzah ball soup, "I can either charge for a cup or a bowl". Now this isn't like we're talking about a $4 cup of soup. It's $10 for matzah ball soup. I have lived here my entire life, almost 50 years. I do love the food here. But our server today was so snarky. I made it a point to say something to the manager. She told me that " the owner's daughter said to charge you for that." I'm sorry, but that is ridiculous. You are that hard up that you're going to charge me for chicken broth? Forget it. I'm banning this place for a while. It is unfortunate. They will not care. The owner is mean and definitely will not notice. But I'm standing by ground. Goodbye, Stage Deli. read more

Best Assyrian food I've had in Michigan. Make sure to stop at the deli area when leaving for amazing cookies!

Not so great. The floor around our table as well as the next table was covered with hunks of bread, pastrami, noodles and other leftover trash from previous diners. Why can't people pickup after their children? Why can't the restaurant have somebody vacuum the carpet? Not a great start to our meal. My Reuben was VERY sparse on corned beef with only a clump in the middle & none on the edges. My wife ordered "lean" for an-up charge & it was meh. She and my son both upgraded to "Deluxe" for $5 & neither felt it was worth it. Cole slaw was only fair & fries were ok. He had the turkey Reuben & our daughter had a cheeseburger, which she liked. The food is just OK & severely overpriced. Our bill for the four of us (no alcohol, only 3 soft drinks) was $100! For FAR BETTER deli food in a plainer ambience, it's worth the short drive to Tony's just up Orchard Lake Road in Keego Harbor. FAR better food and much more generous servings at half the price. PLUS the best matzah ball soup anywhere! read more

The food is really good. We have ordered take out and eaten in for breakfast and lunch. Very pleased at all meals. Don't forget the cookies and apple strudel from the deli counter!! Delicious!! The service is superb. They made a custom sandwich for my husband with no hesitation, always kind and helpful both in person and on the phone for carry out. The ambiance is nice. Nicely decorated. Gets a little loud when it's full but doesn't bother me any. It's a large open room, so it's expected. We eat here weekly literally. read more

Solid choice for my first post covid quarantine venture. I love the patio outside. All of the staff are wearing masks. It was nice to sit outside, enjoy some appetizers and some adult conversation. The food was fresh, well presented and delicious. Today we opted for devil eggs and avocado toast. Both were very smooth and creamy. Heardy rye toast with generous avocado spread and lox. They have great deli sandwiches, matza ball soup and liver pate. They also make beautiful deli trays. Unfortunately the cocktails were weak but pretty. Its pricey but I dont mind paying more for quality read more
