Staff was very friendly and said I should order the reuben over the prosciutto (I'll be back to try the prosciutto). Italian music was playing as well which we all enjoyed. The reuben was so close to being a top tier sandwich for me. The taste was great. The pickles worked really well and the meat was high quality (no fatty pieces). The sandwich could have used more meat though; was a bit lacking for the price. AdditionLy, while the bread had really nice flavor, it was like half heated so not sure what the deal with that was. Overall, a delicious sandwich that could be better with a few tweaks. Also got the chocolate chip cookie. S tier cookie; no notes. Final note: one of the employees left and then came back with food from the neighboring restaurant. Respected that a fair amount.

When we arrived at the deli, we were warmly greeted by the owner, who held the door open for us. Nice touch. He escorted us to the deli area and introduced us to our waitress, who was equally welcoming. Jillian ordered the Maurice Salad, which she swears is the best she's ever tasted. That says a lot since she lives out of restaurants. Besides being delicious, the salad was chopped into manageable bite-sized pieces, a feature she particularly liked. I ordered the Tuna Melt, and it was outstanding. It was tuna salad, red onion, dill havarti cheese, and capers on grilled rye bread served warm. Whoa! It was so good, I thanked the cooks. This is now my new favorite sandwich. Mudgie's is a warm and inviting place with great food and music. Check it out!

I didn't know they served beer and wine, which was nice to have with your sandwich. I wanted to try the Muffaletta. I brought my own gluten-free bread bun and the other person with me ordered the same sandwich but with the bread; and they truly enjoyed it as well. My only issue with the sandwich is that the Portella mushrooms took away from it, rather than enhancing the flavor. Overall, good experience, decent service, I will definitely be back to try more items off the menu and check out their shop.

Fresh bread, freshly cut meats and cheeses and made with pride. It's a true gem. They sell their deli meats and have a nice selection of Italian wines too. You enter and get in line to order. When the order is ready, they call your name and bring it to you in a simple brown bag. There isn't a lot of seating so we get our food and go to a park to eat. I love this place!

I can't believe the place is still here after all of these years. There are 2 types of subs here: Italian, and "Other Subs", so you know that this shop sprang from the vibrant Italian community that once populated Detroit. The Italian Subs at Gonella's are ordered according to how many layers it builds up (which I think is a unique concept). These layered Gonella Italian Subs are layered with a variety of Italian meats (Hard Salami, Salami Cotto, Mortadella, Smoked Ham and Capicola), provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions & Gonella's homemade dressing. Soft or hard roll. Extras: Peppers (+.50) Cheese (+.50) - (Turkey is reserved for the "Other Subs). 6 Layers Meat, 1 Layer Cheese --- $8 8 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $9 12 Layers Meat, 2 Layer Cheese --- $12 14 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $13 18 Layers Meat, 3 Layer Cheese --- $14 The subs are heavy and delicious. The Service is ultra friendly. And the atmosphere feels like and Italian Deli-Market. I recommend it.

This is the original sub sandwich for my team…read more It's been here for ages. My team goes more often than me, but it's the place to go when you are hungry. Soft sub buns, tons of stacks of meat, lettuce and tomato or not. No one goes hungry after a sub here. Some deli spots tend to skimp on the protein, but not this place. My team members favorite is the Italian, 6 stacks. I usually will go for a turkey or chicken stack. They offer up to 18 stacks, haven't tried that yet.

Highly recommend this place and would definitely revisit in the future to try the other sandwich options. That's all

Their specialty sub of the month was eggplant and I love eggplant. So I got that. They have some chips and drinks you can buy as well. And I decided since it's a hot sub I will eat there. It came out a few minutes later. Unwrapped and it was kinda messy but I am OK with that. Took a bite and the sauce is abundant. It's good sauce tomato not a lot of other seasonings I can taste. And bread is hearty. Need a hearty bread to stand up to the sauce. Eggplant was good. Could have used more cheese but it was good. The guy that made my sandwich checked on me and offered me a free cannoli. Who can pass that up! So I thanked him. The shop is not big but looks like it's a trendy area. Lots of restaurants and shops that are walkable. Parked in back or you can try your luck on the street. They have some tables and chairs and a booths kinda on the wall. Good to eat in. Going tomorrow to get another sandwich for lunch.

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!

Remember: Bring cash! Used a card, and the cashier had to type it in manually (it was nice of them to do that). Now for the food - We got a few meats--turkey pastrami, corned beef and a "wildcard" (I let the staff pick, and whatever it was it was good). We also got the special spices etc. I do prefer a more of an Italian sandwich on a hard roll, so I'm not sure the soft onion roll is for me. If you like a cold sandwich un-toasted and generally basic with a bit of a twist, you will love this! My husband and I enjoyed the sandwich (split it, and they put mayo on half at my request). It's a charming spot, quality food and I'm glad we tried it. Skip the spicy potato salad. It was bland, sadly.

My friends have always ordered carryout, but ordering in person was so much more enjoyable. While the interior is by-and-large a throwback to the past; the staff is most definitely a breath of fresh air. They're all kind, patient, and make the best sandwiches! I had the 2 meats (turkey and turkey pastrami) with everything sans pickles plus love spice on an onion roll. I'm beyond satisfied and it was divine! The price was reasonable for a deli sandwich at $10 before tax and 4% card fee. I usually go for corned beef at the deli, but this was a leaner yet equally tasty option in an attempt to be more health conscious. Needless to say, I'll be back! Thanks, ladies!
