MUST STOP when in GR!! I am born & raised in kzoo and when I fly into GR I schedule my flight times around the hours of Two Beards Deli. It's that good. read more

Great food snd atmosphere. My daughter goes yo college in GR and said this is a must. I looked for a sandwich with Russian dressing. I had the Klingon...fantastic. I was disappointed with the prices, this will be an occasional stop otherwise I'd stop in every time we'd visit town. read more

4.5 stars. Crazy big menu here! Sandwiches(grilled or cold) and salads. Workers were very friendly. The vibe is eclectic for sure and they also sell merch! The ZZ Top was delish. read more

Everything was delicious! Highly recommend it! The sandwiches were huge and filling and the tomato soup was delicious!!!

Great sandwich place! About 90+ types and each one was well prepared, fresh and wrapped and labeled. We ordered for a family group of 8 and all the orders came correct and very tasty. The sandwiches are big and a whole meal which makes them reasonably priced. Most people ordered a whole and ended up saving half for later! read more

I stopped in for lunch recently and remembered why it's so popular. The lunch rush was in full swing, and some of their grills were down, so it was a bit of a wait but we weren't in a huge rush. The employees were very apologetic about the wait. The menu is still huge and very overwhelming, but for this visit, I just decided what type of sandwich I wanted (turkey, ham, roast beef, corned beef, pastrami, chicken, sausage, vegetarian, vegan, or salad) and I knew I wanted it grilled. From there I mostly looked at the starred favorite options and went with the #35 Hulihee: Corned beef, pastrami, cheddar, caramelized onions, roasted tomato, garlic mayo on white or wheat. Most of the sandwiches come in half or whole sizes - the half is just a smaller version. For an extra $2 I went with the whole. The menu also includes soup options and salads. They'll give you a table number if you're dining in and then bring your order out to you. The sandwich was toasted and hot, and had a generous amount of meat. I didn't notice all of the other ingredients (I don't think I had any tomato? And didn't really taste a lot of cheddar), but it was saucy and tasty. I really enjoyed this sandwich and I'm glad I went back! read more

There are literally more than 100 sandwich options on the Two Beards Deli menu, ranging from turkey to chicken to ham to roast beef to sausage to pastrami to vegetarian to vegan to salad sandwiches. And within those categories, there are grilled sandwiches and cold sandwiches. Then there are salad bowls, soup, potato salad, pasta salad and desserts. There are a lotta options to choose from! I suggest just going with the first thing that sounds good. Just close your eyes and point a finger at the menu. I kind of did that, and landed on The Old Dutch, which is a grilled turkey sandwich with smoked gouda, roasted red peppers, red onion, roasted garlic tomato mayo on wheat bread. It was very tasty! I love a good grilled sandwich, and this one was melty and gooey in all the right ways. You can get a full sandwich or a half, but be aware that both sandwiches are the same size. The half sandwich just has a regular amount of stuff in it, and the full has double. The half sandwich was more than enough for me for lunch! I almost wish they offered a half-of-a-half. I also grabbed a bag of local chips: Michigan cherry barbecue from Grand Lake Potato Chip Co. All of the sandwiches have fun names, and most of them are named after people who have beards or facial hair. (My favorite is the Frida Kahlo, a roast beef sandwich). We also ordered the Randy Savage, a turkey, ham and bacon sandwich; and two sandwiches off of the kids' menu. Kids sandwiches are only $4, which is a steal! They're pretty basic -- just meat and cheese, or grilled cheese, or pb&j -- but most kids like basic, anyway. Two Beards Deli has instructions for ordering on the wall, so that you don't hold up the line. The instructions are kind of intuitive if you're a self-aware person, but I imagine they get a lot of people coming up to the register not knowing what they want. The instructions are: Grab a menu, which are located near the entrance or at the counter. Then, when you've decided, go up to the counter and order. I did just that, and ordering was easy. I also got my to-go order in about 10 minutes, which was quick considering they were busy and it was lunchtime. read more

I love love love two beards! The sandwiches are always fantastic and service is always friendly. While parking down town is a head ache, I try to come here for a bite on a regular basis. With salad or vegan options, I think anyone can find something thy like here. The sandwich sizes are very large and I think the pricing is fair for the sizes. If you don't know what you want, you can always ask the people working and they will give you a recommendation. I've done that twice now. I have never dined in at two beards, but the space seems clean. It's just a bit loud and echoey when there's a lot of people inside. read more

Found this place on a whim. I love these kinds of places. Really good variety of sandwiches and they are huge.

What a sandwich...wowza!!!! Delicious! So many options to choose from...maybe even study up on the menu so you don't get overwhelmed. Friendly and efficient service - great little sandwich joint read more

2025 Pros: new point system tied to phone# Cons: sandwiches have increased $4.50 (about $17/ea) and quality/quantity has decreased We visited and ordered 3 sandwiches. Three sandwiches (no sides or drinks) will set you back $55. Even taking into consideration rising costs, this is a bit too much for me. Also, it was really disappointing bc it seems as though the amount of meat/filling has notably decreased. It's such a cool business and I don't like to report negatives -but it was already a bit pricey so we didn't visit often -now, sadly, we probably won't return. If you look at my old vs new pics, you can see the difference in the sizes of the sandwiches as well as the prices these past 6 months. read more

This place isn't by our typical sandwich shop. It's waaaaay better. The offerings range from traditional to creative. There are so many choices it may take some time to make a decision. But anything you order will be amazing. The owner and staff are some of the nicest people in west Michigan. read more

Yosemite Sam was delicious and still pretty good leftover! Randy savage also delicious but bread didn't hold up as well left over. Both sandwiches served as 2 meals for us! read more

Walked in on a Thursday afternoon to a very friendly worker. We ordered a sandwich to share and dined in. I was thrilled that they had a variety of hot sauces to try out near the fountain drink machine. I added to my sandwich to give a little kick! The vibe is very welcoming. All-gender restrooms available. And the artwork was interesting to view during our short wait for our sandwich to come out. Sandwich itself "The George Clooney" was a tasty treat and big enough for sharing (for a small lunch). Glad we made this one of our stops during our GR visit! read more

Sandwiches were just ok. They didn't taste as fresh as expected and had very little meat on them. Comparing local deli places I would recommend Schnitz Deli. The service was nice and standard. Good amount of tables inside. read more

Two Beards Deli - The Hagrid with sourdough - Delis Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I've been wanting to try two beards for a long time and finally made it in. I got the Fred Sanford which is a fan favorite according to the menu and I can see why. It's a giant sandwich with super yummy and fresh ingredients. It was pretty packed but we were able to find a table. Food took a little while but everything is made fresh so it's to be expected. The menu is huge so you definitely have a lot to pick from and a huge vegan and vegetarian menu to pick from. read more

This place is amazing- I order for our office at least once a month for about 20 people. Orders are never wrong for that many people!!! Staff are all polite and friendly too. Sandwiches are super big and taste amazing. You can customize any sandwich and have it grilled or cold. There is also enough seating if you want to sit and enjoy your meal. I love the different and creative names they have for every sandwich!!! read more

Let me tell you how I'm a sandwich connoisseur and I've been LONG overdue to try this place out. DO NOT make the mistake I did and wait too long. I would sit here and write the longest most raving review of my life but I don't want to be more ridiculous than I already am. For all my sandwich lovers who get it, get here NOW! These sandwiches are banging. Soup was delish. Service & suggestions were on point. They have a super great drink & chip selection as well. The menu is large with cold & hot varieties available and you can make modifications as well. read more

Amazing selection of meats, bread, cheeses and add ons. If it were not for my predetermate love for Ski's Special, I would declare this the best sandwich shop in town read more

Do NOT order the Mike Ditka. Just pure slop and horribly wrapped. Absolutely no care from the workers about food preparation. Also, do not be in a hurry because the workers are not. read more

5+STARS Two Beards is Amazing ‼Every time we get food there we find a new favorite. There's so many different options. You've gotta see the menu, it's got over 90 different sandwiches, a ton of salads, unbelievable soups, drinks and desserts to complete the meal. The super cool staff is helpful with suggestions and popular picks. One that never fails is the Fred Sanford. It's packed with a generous portion of chicken and yumminess. We had the Conan O'Brien and the Chuck Norris, Reuben stew, white bean chicken chili. Rice krispie treats and a huge chocolate chip. Sounds like a lot? Yup it was! We had enough for dinner and lunch tomorrow. Two Beards Deli has been a family favorite for years. read more

Wow! This is the "go-to" in Grand Rapids for a sandwich. This was the worst sandwich I've ever had. The store was empty. Employees were chillin... This is the sandwich I got on a slow night. I had one piece of shriveled lettuce, microwaved bacon,, ingredients not distrubuted across the sandwich. It screams lazy. read more

Two Beards Deli - Inside of my sandwich - Delis Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

I came here to order takeout on a Saturday around lunchtime, and it was pretty busy. I think I waited at least 20 minutes but it was worth it! There is a fair amount of tables for dining in. I'm almost a bit too overwhelmed by how many sandwich options they have; there were multiple good options, but I found myself wanting to make substitutions/additions to most of the options. I ordered the #59 chicken salad but asked for sourdough bread instead of white/wheat, and I added romaine lettuce. I loved everything else that was on the chicken salad sandwich, and it was a bit "non traditional" from how I know chicken salad, but I actually really preferred it this way. My friend got the #57 egg salad which had a nice dill flavor to it but no overpowering flavors or smells. The sandwiches were packed with a lot of salad in each one! I'm glad I got the sourdough bread for more stability in the sandwich. I'd like to try a turkey or roast beef sandwich next time, and maybe one of the soups! read more

Great sandwiches, but don't be in a hurry, because they're not. Yelp requires 85 characters. Geez.

The food is SOOOOO good. Lots of options for vegans, meat eaters, and gluten free folk. My son is sensitive to gluten, so we get him GF when we eat out. He does not have celiac disease so he is ok with minor cross contamination. I am not sure how it would fare for a celiac. The service here is impeccable. They're ok with you adding stuff to any sandwich as you like. Ambiance is casual. I love this place. read more

Dined here after spending some time at the John Ball Zoo, which was awesome, and won't be back. The area itself was fine, but it was all street metered parking which was annoying but it's a downtown area so I get it. The food was meh. My sandwich was bland. I ordered The Randy Savage with a pickle spear and drink and my husband got The Winnfield with chips and a drink. I make better sandwiches at home. They served it on regular sliced bread which is fine but it tasted like cheap bread. The meat didn't taste like anything special. It tasted like the prepackaged crap I buy at Meijer. Overall it was not anything special but not horrible either. The reason it gets a two and not a three is the pricing. It was $57.48 with tip. Highway robbery if you ask me. I'm down for paying more money for a good meal but not some cheap crap I'd get at the airport in between connections. This place also does that stupid thing where they ask for tips but you get your own drink, clean up after yourself, and order at the counter. They do give you a number and bring it to your table though, like Carl's Jr. or Culver's. Took a surprisingly long amount of time to get our food too. read more

Widest selection of sandwiches in town. Great soups and pasta salads. A staple of budget-friendly, hip dining in GR.

I enjoyed my sandwich, was a little burned but that is OK. My only complaint is the prices are a bit high, but what isn't these days? read more

I've never been disappointed going here. Any time friends are in town we go here and i seriously started to crave it. Who knew sandwiches could taste so good!! Also I'm not vegan, but strictly eat their vegan sandwiches because they're so filled with flavor! read more

I really can't say enough good things about Two Beards. There is not a single person in the world who can't come here and have a life changing sandwich. Vegetarian/Vegan? These guys bend tofu to their will and create insane flavors. Gluten Free? They got wraps for ya. Don't like sandwiches? Two Beards will surely prove you wrong. It's honestly nicer to have some sort of allergy/food restriction when you come here, because if you don't, you're greeted by an onslaught of over 100 different sandwiches, each of which is just BEGGING to be enjoyed. The highest praise I can offer Two Beards is the following anecdote: I have been here over 30 times and have gotten a different sandwich pretty much each time, and every sandwich has been straight up delicious. read more

Update: I love the vibe in this restaurant. The staff is great. And I got the Fred Sanford sandwich (blackened chicken with avocado and bacon and all kinds of other goodness) and I was MUCH happier than I was with the Freddie Mercury. This place is excellent - I just picked the wrong sandwich on my first visit. Get there early, because there was a pretty hefty line by the time we left this visit (no line at 11:30am; hefty line by 11:50am on a weekday). read more

Great spot for any sandwich lover. Options for all meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. I came during the lunch rush on a Tuesday, but things move fast in here and service was great! I went with the #80 Levar Burton. I'm not vegan, but I wanted to try something on the lighter side. Sandwich was huge and delicious. Would definitely come back next time I'm in town and keep trying new stuff each time as I'm sure anything on their menu wouldn't disappoint! read more

4.5 stars would be more accurate. Sometimes the sandwiches can come out better than other times. So inconsistency does occur here. Being that the sandwiches are costly here. The food should try and remain consistent. But for the most part worth it once in a while. Definitely a better sandwich joint inside the city. read more

We ordered delivery after my daughter's surgery and, let me tell you, this place not only did not disappoint two hungry, cranky vegetarians but we crave it months later!!! Fast service and quick delivery. This place is ALWAYS packed - and for good reason! The menu is great and everything was so fresh! The names of their menu items are a kick and everything is organized like someone has OCD! They even have vegetarian AND vegan sandwiches so us picky people can order without a bunch of substitutions. We got the Dale Earnhardt that was basically a vegan Ruben. Delish!!! The Bearded Lady salad hit the spot and the Bob Ross was amazing!! I truly wish we had one here in Omaha. Next time you're hungry and in Grand Rapids, MI stop by. You wont be disappointed! read more

Placed a phone order for an office lunch. Friendly fast service. Even had to call back 5 minutes later with a correction and they adjusted no problem. Super impressed with all of the sandwich options! With vegans and vegetarians to accommodate, we had great plant based protein to choose from. Was all so tasty! Picking up the food, all the staff seemed in great spirits like they truly enjoy working there. Not from GR, I'll definitely be dining here any time I return! read more

Food was amazing! Ordered two items: 1) Sandwich and 2) Salad. Small versions were plenty to eat. Fresh and delicious, OMG! The only minor complaint was that while the service was extremely friendly, it took quite a while to get the food out. Luckily we were not in a hurry, but when I say quite a while, I mean a long time. Nevertheless, worth the wait. They were a little busy, so we'll give them some grace. Definitely want to return soon! read more

Decided to try this place while visiting GR. I was really happy to see they had lots of vegan options on their menu! I ordered the Andre 3000 for carry-out and I was disappointed to see when I got home that there was no vegan bacon on the sandwich (as advertised on the menu). The sandwich was pretty good - but I think the bacon would have made it stellar. I'd give them another shot! read more
