We stopped in before heading to the beach and I couldn't believe how much they had. You know when you're packing up and think, "I wish I had grabbed..."(for food)? Yeah, they probably have it. Cold grab-and-go sandwiches, hot made-to-order sandwiches, pasta salads, charcuterie, chips and dips, crackers, drinks... seriously so much to choose from. I went with a cold sandwich and it was way better than I expected. It tasted fresh, felt gourmet, and definitely wasn't your average deli sandwich. Everything looked really fresh too. The service was super friendly and efficient, even with people coming in and out, and the shop had a fun, bustling beach-town vibe that got us even more excited for the day. This is absolutely going to be a must-stop anytime we're in the area. Highly recommend! read more

The Depot - Delis Near Me - South Haven, Michigan

I am giving 4 stars because they forgot my order and I waited 45 min for my sandwich. The sandwich was so good I forgot how long I waited. Great stop on a roadtrip. Store was cool too read more

Food is good, but woman working the counter where you order sandwiches was rude and short to us, and did not allow us to make a simple bread substitute. Plus, a 40+ minute wait is crazy for a sandwich! read more

They have excellent variety - the sandwiches are homemade and delicious! We had to wait a fair amount of time but the sandwiches were well worth the wait ! read more

Friendly, courteous and respectful service . Excellent products selection. Good choice of deli products. Reasonable prices for most items. Locally produced products as well as homemade deli dishes read more

Three and half stars. A nice expensive little market that has a good selection of beers, wine and spirits near the downtown area. Not sure if its tourist season or not but I thought the prices were a little over what the rest of the marketplace retail prices go for. Small selection of deli and charcutier selections and a very friendly staff too. read more

The menu looked enticing! Was excited to try the sandwiches. Brought a hungry crew, but when we walked in there was a sign that said the deli was closed on a beautiful Monday afternoon. You could choose items from the grab and go- but no sandwiches available. Definitely advise calling ahead before going over there. read more

Such delicious sandwiches, always wish they were open more hours. Amazing food, always fresh, and accommodating to all the special orders.

The food was delicious and fresh. We did not wait very long for it either. The service was good too the workers were super sweet and the outside seating was nice and quiet. Very nice place in a good area. They had a lot of options for drinks too. read more

This place is pretty cool. It's got a pretty good supply of beer and soft drinks. And liquor, some cigars and craft pop. I've also had one of their subs or sandwiches and it was delicious. Definitely a place worth checking out. read more

The food is okay, but the service is awful. Older lady working in there had such a bad attitude. I asked for something they said couldn't do on a sandwich, which is totally understandable! However she looked at me like I was nuts for even asking and rudely remarked "We don't do all of that." (I was asking to remove a condiment) read more

Never disappointed with the food I am served here and the friendly demeanor of the staff. I enjoyed a reuben sandwich today and it was well constructed to allow all the ingredients to contribute to the rich, messy feast. I ate on their patio which provided for nice, quiet dining. read more

We stopped off traveling through, not much of a fast food eater. Ordered online, the sandwiches were above expectations. Quick service. Monumental beer selection for a store of its size. great mix and match for micro brews. Definitely worth the 7 minutes off the interstate to have real homemade deli sandwiches. read more

I love this place. The Wasp wrap and the roast beef were both delicious. They have some hidden gem snacks too! It was fun to walk around and check out all the drinks and snacks. read more

We stopped in here for quick sandwiches while on a road trip! This cute spot was buzzing with people and I liked the train theme. This is mostly a liquor store with a small deli window in the back. The girl working it didn't have the best attitude and we noticed that the menu was different than the other photos posted on their Yelp page, which was fine. All of the sandwiches sounded really good and we liked the unique combinations of sauces and toppings. For example, there is a falafel and hummus sandwich in a pita, buffalo chicken tenders in a wrap, etc. I got the David Buoy steak sandwich that was topped with onions and peppers, in between French garlic bread. They were out of the gluten-free bread, which was a bummer. The sandwich was just okay and it seemed like the ingredients weren't the highest quality. My husband said the same about his sandwich. The woman running the cash register was super friendly and we enjoyed poking around the shop and buying some extra chips, drinks, and snacks for the road too. We recognized a few other Indiana brands that we love in the store such as Root & Revelry sodas and Hotel Tango spirits. That was awesome. Go local! All in all, we appreciated being able to support a local sandwich shop on the road and wish The Depot all the best. read more

What a cute spot! The woman taking orders for sandwiches was awesome, so friendly and inviting. We had the BLAT and David Buoy. The BLAT was good. I think it just lacked in the amount of bacon, lettuce, tomato, avocado that it had in it -- but overall, the flavor was good and the bread was very good. I'll be back to try more of the sandwiches on the menu! read more

I was traveling to South Haven for a girls' weekend and contacted The Depot about putting together a charcuterie tray and snack tray so that we could stay in after a long day of travel. They were so responsive and accommodating, and they put together the perfect feast for us. Everything was fresh and delicious, and it made our first night in town perfect. The store itself is fantastic. The service is really friendly and helpful and there's a big selection of gourmet food and drinks. We will be back for sure. Highly recommend! read more

If you're looking for snacks, The Depot will hook you up with all the pretzels, chips, and cheese your heart desires. I appreciated their selection and focus on local products. If you're looking for a bomb vegetarian sandwich, this is not the place. My falafel construction was peculiar with the hummus being at the bottom of the pita, then the falafel, then the veg at the top. If I was to return, The Depot would strictly be a snack stop. read more

Delicious sandwiches, especially appreciate the veggie options. Lots of pre-packaged side dishes. Having chili and soup available as well is a big plus. Well-stocked grocery area. Online ordering works well, even for customized sandwiches. Order was ready quickly, friendly staff. They have a very nice patio area as well - will try that out on our next trip! read more

Go to sandwich spot in south haven!! I've had the BLT and tuna so far and both were lights out! I even walked my dog up there and the staff ran my sub out to me. Love this spot read more

Best sandwich on the Great Loop! Prices are very reasonable and service is. great. Wide selection of beers and other beverages. I had the Barca and my wife had the Nino. read more

The food was good and the service was great! I had two bags of food and a bag with a 6 pack of beer and drinks. A man working there (I assumed he may he manager/owner) helped me out to my car, in the rain! Definitely appreciate the customer service. It's a cute spot that sells tons of beer/wine and liquor. Very nice thing is you can buy 1 beer if you want, you don't have to commit to the 6/12 pack if you don't want! If you're staying in town and want to try local beers it would be awesome to make a fun sampler case. The food was good, but I felt the prices were high. $5.50 for kids chicken tenders, no sides (other than pickle) and no drink was included. So it was just two fingers (they were however very delicious!) this was also true about my turkey sandwich. It was $9.90 and came with just the sandwich. Chips could have been a nice addition! ‍ read more

Amazing sandwiches and customer service. Highly recommend the Edmond Fitzgerald. We will definitely be back!

The sandwiches here are great! We called ahead and picked up some sandwiches on the way to Oval Beach. We ordered the David Bouy and The Clipper. Both sandwiches were delicious and nicely packed. They also have a stamp card if you plan to back. The downside is that there are no public restrooms if you're looking for one. read more

The Depot continues to make fantastic deli sandwiches and soups. We freeze the soups to heat up on cold days. The selection of beverages is extensive and it's fun to walk around the store and find interesting and unique drinks. read more

Back in the day I have purchased liquor, chips, tuna from deli and various other items. It's been awhile since I've been back. Summertime is dreadfully busy in SH, so as I local I avoid. But I had great service, smiling faces & great food! It's a thumbs up place to go. I'll be back in the next few months as a local. read more

We stopped here to grab a few pre-made sandwiches on our way to the beach, and I thought mine, an Edmund Fitzgerald, was underwhelming. While the beef was quite good, the sandwich was dry, could have used more horseradish sauce, and had slightly stale bread. Judging by the day of the week written on the back of the sandwich, which I didn't notice until later when opening it on the beach, I believe my sandwich was made the day before - which may explain why it was less than stellar. Buying a $11.50 sandwich at around 9:30 AM, I wouldn't expect to have to check for a date. That said, it probably would have been a lot less dry if the horseradish sauce had been in a separate container that could be spread on the bread right before eating. read more

Not as much a deli as it is a liquor store with a great selection of craft beers and some unique convenience store items. They did have pre made sandwiches and salads as well as four make to order sandwiches. After reading the reviews, we had different expectations. We purchased two pre made sandwiches and were disappointed as the quantity of the protein was a small portion. I wish we would have tried the made to order items, but as for the prepackaged items, Subway would be a better option. Staff were friendly and I would definitely drop by to pick up that unique craft beer. read more

Yes! This place carries the food scene in South Haven. The sandwiches are creative and very fresh. We ordered a dozen for a boat day and everyone was raving about their meals. I had the Il Buco - spicy and it was everything you like in a sandwich. Interesting meats, tasty sauces and fresh veggies. They also come with a classic quarter dill pickle. Their menu changes pretty frequently so call ahead or go off of their most recent Yelp photo - their website doesn't keep up. 100% worth a visit, our best meal all weekend! read more

The Depot - Menu 7/29/21 - Delis Near Me - South Haven, Michigan

As a lover of sandwiches, I was glad to stumble upon The Depot based on it's high Yelp Reviews. We tried 3 sandwiches, The Reuben, The Italian and the Wagyu Beef W/ Horseradish. (Yes they all have clever names in the Deli but this is easier to describe) My son had the Reuben and loved it, he offered me a bite and WOW.. It was fantastic. My first sandwich was the Wagyu Beef W/ Horseradish on the sub. Not very much meat for the price and definitely needed more horseradish. What detracted from this sandwich the most was the bread. The sub is low quality bread and the meat to bread ratio was too unproportionate. I ended up just opening up the sandwich and eating the meat with a fork, which was delicious. The Italian sandwich was great. Unlike the Sub bread, this was a toasted pressed bread and it had great flavor. I will be coming here for more lunches in the future. read more

The Depot is a great stop for those looking for upscale beverages and food. They offer an excellent selection.

Great service and even better sandwiches. More than your money's worth. The service was fast and friendly.

Awesome deli sandwiches and sides for carryout. House-made with high-quality ingredients. Very good selection of curated packaged snacks and beverages. read more

Great sandwiches and unique food options, awesome beer and wine selection too! Great family owned business!

Wonderful local shop with great craft beer and wine selections, along with plenty of party essentials (wine keys, several cheese and sausage choices, chips, etc.) It has a real "gourmet" vibe to it, but it's not pretentious at all. Really friendly folks work there. Great sandwiches too. read more

It was my first time staying near South Haven and we were looking for somewhere with good food. I enjoy a good sub/sandwich and we found just that! We came two days in a row. The kitchen is only open from 10:30 AM until 3:00 PM so don't show up late. We had the David Buoy with hot peppers - don't forget the hot peppers, we had it with mild peppers the first time and regretted it. Second we had the California Clipper with hot peppers. Both were fantastic! Their home made tuna salad is also a hit if you're looking for something to snack on with pita chips. All in all, this place is a 10/10. Definitely recommend stopping by if you are in the area or planning to. read more

This place has great sandwiches but not the best service. When I called to place an order, I asked for a California clipper without mayo and the lady on the phone acted as if it would be a pain not including an ingredient. She also said to come pick the sandwich up in 20-25 minutes. I arrived 20 minutes after ordering and waited an additional 15-20 minutes before receiving the food. The sandwiches themselves are very tasty, especially the California Clipper!! read more

Delish!! Would recommend to anyone visiting South Haven. Especially great as a pickup option on your way to the beach! Our group tried 5 different sandwiches and everyone enjoyed what they had. read more

LOVE the sandwiches! Il Barco is my favorite. Expect a wait on a summer weekend, but worth it. Easy place to stop in and get your drinks for the weekend as well. read more

Let's start by noting I'm picky about falafel, like most I dislike when it's dry. Not a problem here and the hummus was delish, only tweak for me would be adding more of that lovely salad at the bottom as well as the top. This was a great place to pop in and out on my way to hike in the area, they also have a vast array of liquor, chilled beers, wines, and grab-able picnic ready aperitifs. I added a kombucha to my meal and couldn't help grabbing some "clean" wine to try later. Happy eating! read more
