Zingerman's is definitely pricey and it can take awhile because it's almost always busy, but honestly I always end up feeling like it's worth it. My favorites are the Reuben, the Georgia Reuben, and Tarb's Tenacious Tenure. The latkes and knishes are also fantastic. There was a period where the bread was so sharp it felt like my mouth was getting cut up every time I ate there, which honestly became part of the experience. But the past few times I've gone, the bread has been perfect. Zingerman's Deli lives up to the hype. read more

I'm not a big sandwich person, and the Georgia Reuben is honestly the best sandwich I've ever had! The balance is perfect. The slaw has a sweet-tangy flavor that adds umph without overpowering the sandwich. As someone who usually skips slaw, it's the perfect amount of crisp layered in so it complements everything instead of taking over. The bread is toasted to a perfect crisp on the outside while the inside is soft. The contrast between the crispy exterior and the soft, tasty interior holds me in the moment. The cheese is the final touch that balances the crisp bread and crunchy slaw. Every texture works together. The portion size surprised me. I ordered the small thinking it would be light, but it was more than enough. I was completely stuffed and couldn't imagine ordering a large. I wish I could somehow fly this sandwich over anytime I wanted as I'm from another state, but it's that memorable. I actually came back two days in a row just to have it again. It's going to live in my mind for a long time. read more

Zingerman's sure knows how to make a sandwich. The menu here is extensive. As a resident of Skokie, I always order the Lila & Izzie's Skokie Skidoo. It is, for all intents and purposes, a vegetarian Ruben. I love the meaty Swiss Emmental cheese used in this dish. The "farm bread" at this establishment is similarly exceptional. I also appreciate how every sandwich is served with a house-made pickle. For dessert, do not miss the cheesecake. I further recommend the vanilla cream soda served at the soda fountain here for anyone with a sweet tooth. In all, Zingerman's is one of Ann Arbor's finest restaurants. I will certainly return. read more

What an amazing experience for a deli! I'm in Ann Arbor quite a bit these days and I've yet to try Zingerman's Deli. We decided to order a carry out as we were heading to a Rally in the area. I love Reuben's and this one was piled high! The Jewish Rye was fantastic. They make their own Russian dressing, too. I ended up getting the small size, but it was HUGE! I paired it with a strawberry lemonade! This place is really cool and they have so many unique offerings. Trust me. order ahead as the lines were insane! This is a must stop if you're in the area. read more

(Kari's Rating 8.5) I usually don't stop into Sandwich shops, but a group and I were in for a snowboarding chip in Michigan and one of my friends recommended the place. I initially thought this was going to be a mom and pop shop, but it actually looked like you were stepping into a Trader Joe's. Everything was so vividly colored, and the people who worked there really knew their product. I got into a conversation with the bread man for like 10 minutes, talking about the different kinds of flour. The sandwich ordered was a little expensive at $22, but they do give you a nice decent proportion of turkey meat and it did come with avocado. My friend got the corned beef, which was pretty good, it was a little dry, but it also came with a thousand island sauce. The pickle was the best thing about the meal. It was lightly crispy, very well seasoned, not too spicy but absolutely delectable, I wish I would've known I should've paid the $.75 to get the other pickle. I'm not in the area as I live in Chicago, but if I'm ever back snowboarding, I would for sure. Make a stop here. read more

I love Zingerman's and can't skip making a visit anytime I'm in Ann Arbor. This is a bright, vibrant place with excellent food and a very interesting array of deli foods and other items. Staff is always friendly and helpful and the sandwiches are awesome. Also brings me back to my college days when I would come here and wait in line for their sandwiches read more

I was visiting Ann Arbor for a few days and everyone said that Zongerman's was a classic that I had to try. It's a cute deli and store that has tons of high quality oils, coffee, canned goods, meats and cheeses. The staff are super friendly and gave great recommendations on what to order. I ordered a #22 Jenny's fix and thought it was really great! The portion was very filling but a little expensive for a sandwich. I understand this is a great quality "farm to table" type of deli so I understand the higher price though. The "new" pickle was crisp,refreshing, and salty. Definitely a great balance to the meaty and filling sandwich. Overall a great experience and would love to come back and try some of the other sandwiches! read more

It's a fun atmosphere very energetic personnel. The staff are very outgoing. It seems every time you go in things are change around. I love the Charlie M's Tuna sandwich is gigantic but oh so good! It's fresh and they toast the bread almost like a grill cheese sandwich. The pasta salad is great so is their potato salad. read more

Zingerman's Delicatessen - Delis Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

We were on our way to Grand Rapids for a wedding, and were passing through Ann Arbor at lunchtime. After a quick Yelp search for a place to eat, I knew we had to try Zingerman's. Parking is very tight around this location, and we ended up finding a space several blocks away, but it was a short walk. They have a little shed set up outside with ordering kiosks that quite a few people were using. Being first time visitors though, we had some questions so we went inside. First and foremost, this location is a store! You can buy bread, deli meats, condiments, even cookbooks! You work your way through to the back of the store where you can place sandwich orders. Even inside you use the computer kiosks, but there are helpful employees there to answer all your questions. We asked about the size of the sandwiches, and thank goodness we did! They are large, so we split one Italian sub, and that was more than enough for both of us. The bread that it comes on is so delicious, it just made the sandwich! The whole pickle was also a big surprise, but we gobbled it up as well. Zingerman's has an entire array of housemade sodas, and the vanilla cream soda was fabulous! Lots of seating inside, but being that it was a beautiful day we sat outside. Despite it being located in "that state up north" as we Ohioans say, it was completely delicious and I would absolutely stop again anytime I was in the area. read more

Food: very good, very expensive, very generous portion Service: definitely order ahead, very friendly people Ambiance: lots of unique meats and cheeses and a whole assortment of goodness ready to go The bread was not my favorite, and the thousand island lacked a little punch for me. But a very good sandwich and I can see why there are so many amazing reviews. Menu is unique and offers something for everyone so I would definitely recommend a stop here. read more

We finally made it here. Busy, busy, busy! We arrived about 12:30 on a Wednesday. You have to put your own sandwich/lunch order in a kiosk then wait across the room for them to call you. Put in your cell # and you can find your seat outside and wait for your food there. You still have to come in and pick it up. The Sherman's Sure Choice Rueben was terrific. Corned Beef, Swiss, coleslaw and Russian dressing on Jewish Rye. Extra dressing was a tiny to-go container for a buck. Not at all worth it. The Matzo Ball soup was really Matzo Ball broth with a small, bland piece of matzo. Very disappointing lunch. The people are helpful in processing you through the confusion. They do have plenty of tables and seats, outside. I think it's hilarious of the kiosk to try and jam those who are not paying attention with an 18% tip when the customer is doing all of the work. Just selly. 09/25 read more

I've been told that it's a rite of passage to visit Zingweman's deli. I must say, it is quite the experience! On a Saturday afternoon it was rather lively and busy. However, the folks working there were incredibly kind and helpful. We ordered our food on a kiosk that was easy to use and found a seat outside. The food: Fountain ginger ale- 4/5 it was so delicious and tasted homemade with real cane sugar Turkey sandwich with tomato and avocado spread- 4/5 - this sandwich is huge! Very fresh Mustard potato salad - 3/5 it was just okay, if you're used to homemade potato salad, this one tasted a bit manufactured. Overall, I'm glad I was able to experience Zingerman's. However, you can expect to pay top dollar for a sandwich that might not seem to fully deliver. read more

After hearing that Zingerman's and Katz are the top 2 pastrami/reuben sandwich delis, I had to give Zingerman's a try. Service was great-- super friendly and pretty fast when we went right before closing on a Thursday night. The sandwich itself was good, but I think I prefer Katz. - Reuben: 8/10 (the sandwich was good overall. The meat itself was tender, but a bit on the salty side. The bread was a bit too tough though) read more

Soo crowded today on labor day but we made it through the rush! Waited 37 minutes for our sandwich but it was tasty!! You can sit either in their outside areas, upstairs, or you can even use their cafe seating areas. We ordered their Jenny's Pastrami sandwich and it was soooo good and filling!!! Shared the large with my husband and it was a perfect size for both of us to get full. I highly recommend their sandwiches and would try it again! read more

Zingerman's Delicatessen has been on my must try list for a while and I finally got to visit Ann Arbor last weekend and it was even better than I hoped! The food is phenomenal and my party tried a variety of things. We loved them all and I know there's so much more to try next time. Jenny's Fix was delicious but the Frank and Kathy's Half Italian Sub was our group's favorite. We also loved the garlic potato salad and the pickles. We were there on a very busy Saturday lunch and we got through the line quickly to order and there is ample seating upstairs. The workers were incredibly helpful and friendly! It's very fun inside and my nephew loved looking at all the murals. I loved that they have an elevator for people who prefer elevators over stairs or families with strollers. I would recommend parking in a parking garage and walking a few blocks because the street parking is tight and busy. read more

$60 two sandwiches, fountain drinks, chips for me and potato salad for my husband...oof. The pesto chicken sandwich was dry, mine was just ok, the flavors weren't there. The pickles we were given were a whole entire pickle..who wants to eat that much pickle? The best thing we ate here were the bbq chips. Service was relatively fast; we did come at a busy time. Maybe we need to try more sandwiches but probably when we've financially recovered for spending so much. Not good enough for the price, zingers! read more

Zingerman's Delicatessen - BLT, chicken pesto - Delis Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

We stopped in for lunch on a Saturday and it was CROWDED. Probably the norm, I'm guessing. You order at a tablet and it's pretty easy to navigate. They do keep a few people posted there to assist with difficulties, special orders, etc. it is a really cool store inside and lots of stuff to ogle and buy if you're up to it. Seating is a bit tough. We had to go upstairs as it was way too cold to eat outside and you just have to grab the first seats you see or wait for people to leave (not really my thing). We got lucky and got 4 seats together...the last open seats. We all got great sandwiches and I wish I had taken pics because, WOW! The sammy's are huge and delicious! They truly have never disappointed us. Always a great option when in A2. read more

What can I say about Zingerman's That has not been said a million times. Every time we are in A2, we stop in for a meal or to pick up food. The food in the deli and the bakery are the best quality foods you can buy. Don't get me wrong, you will pay for that quality! We do always try to get sandwiches and a slice of one of their amazing desserts. It definitely has that university town feeling with the workers. It's a bit chaotic, but if you can't find what you want, just ask. The employees will be more than happy to find what you want. Go Green! read more

Stopped over after my girlfriend's doctors appointment, this is a routine for her so was excited to try this place. Pulled pork sandwich was ok. Bread could have been slightly toasted but the sauce soaked right in by the end so I enjoyed those bites more. Girlfriend didn't like the texture combination of asparagus and mushrooms with cheese. I took a bite and wasn't a fan either but asparagus was good. Parking was a pain, need more accessibility parking spots in the area. Can only imagine the rush of people during football season. read more

I had the corn beef sandwich on rye bread, with Swiss cheese, Russian dressing and sauerkraut. Based on the price of $23 this sandwich should have been phenomenal, instead it was a major let down. Bland sauerkraut, dry bread, and little to no dressing left much to be desired by this sandwich. Oddly they also put sour cream on a side. I could only eat less than half and threw the rest into a bin. Waste of money if you ask me and a tourist trap. read more

Long wait, limited parking, but that BLT was so good. Came to Ann Arbor on a pleasant late spring day and with a 40 minute wait we walked around outside and found a table in the nearby park for a phone notification on our online order. Beautiful setting. Farmers Market made parking tight but online payment was easy in the nearby lot. The sandwiches were great. Sides were meh to me but partner loved the cucumber pickles (sounds redundant but I think that's part of the description). and the potato salad was ok but should have chose the old fashioned kind. The fountain soda drinks were wonderful. Not too sweet and not too fizzy. read more

Zingerman's Delicatessen - A nice day gives you more seating options. - Delis Near Me - Ann Arbor, Michigan

Always my first stop in Ann Arbor. We stopped in straight from the airport to get items for dinner and snacks. It was not as crowded as usual because it was mid afternoon and not a meal time. That is not to say it was empty. It is never even close to empty. All the staff was friendly and helpful and they had every my heart desired for the day. I have never been to Ann Arbor in the 20+ years I have been visiting and if I miss going as frequently as in the past, there are always items I can get by mail order. They do that well too. read more

A classic for a reason! Zingerman's is a staple in Ann Arbor and a must eat on every trip we make to visit family in MI. You can't go wrong here! The staff is ridiculously friendly and helpful, the shop and restaurant are consistently clean and inviting, and the food truly can't be beat. On our most recent trip we had Tarb's Tenacious Tenure (delectably delicious), Zingerman's Reuben (tender and tasty), and Lisa C.'s Boisterous Brisket (meaty and magical). We also got all three of their potato salads, a bowl of the matzo ball soup, both types of house made pickles, and the latkes. Everything was delicious! Tarb's Tenacious Tenure, old fashioned potato salad, and the traditional "old" pickle were the favorites of our group but basically everything we ordered received a "wow" or two from us! The shop downstairs had a bunch of interesting oils, bitters, cookbooks, and treats as well, along with a bon-a-fide deli counter serving up slices of meats, fresh bread, and some amazing looking cheeses! If you find yourself anywhere close to Ann Arbor, you've gotta stop by Zingerman's! Pro tip: the ordering situation may seem a bit intimidating, but the workers are incredibly friendly! Don't be daunted by the quick pace of the place, but if you get nervous easily then look at the menu on their website site and know what you want before you go! read more

Your new favorite deli - huge sandwiches and a nice market! There is definitely going to be a wait but it's worth it. Order at the screen, but you can have a hard menu before you get there to make sure you know what you're getting. My husband and I split one of the small pastrami sandwiches and it was still too much for us. Also got a single latke on the side which was gigantic and definitely splittable. The applesauce was also chunky and clearly homemade. The pastrami was sweet and smoky, the bread was fresh and the whole thing was great. Staff is friendly and happy to answer any questions. You can sit outside under the tent or upstairs inside. Would love to come back to the baked good and some other artisan foods from the market. Definitely one of my favorite spots in Ann Arbor and make sure to come hungry!!! read more

If you're around Ann Arbor (or like us and 2 hours away!) you MUST go to Zingerman's - it's nationwide popularity has grown for a reason! This deli is more than "just a deli", with a small shop and a menu large enough to overwhelm the biggest foodies, you must must try them all. I've been here more times than I can count, and make sure to stop anytime I am in the area. The Reuben is a staple, full of meat and flavorful bread, it's to die for and it will be the best Reuben you've ever had, promise (oh, and get the whole sandwich - you'll want the leftovers!) Their ambiance is so quaint, nestled into the busy city blocks, you feel like you're on a date and cute cafe, sit outside if you can find a table! It's worth the wait! read more

This has been a great deli for a long time... But the prices keep going up and the service keeps going down. These sandwiches require a significant portion of my meager paycheck to be able to enjoy. Expect $30 a person after a beverage... you used to deliver the sandwiches to tables... why not anymore? Why do we have to come to you? I don't like ordering in the iPad at the deli... Doesn't give you options for your sandwich that make sense... Like horseradish... Easy button add to be an option for say a #82 Don's R&B Why can't they add a button that says "add horseradish" Or "Add red onions" I just don't get why it's difficult to add things to my sandwich... read more

A really unique, fantastic spot in AA! Zingerman's Deli is an in-person experience, there's tons of products to check out in-store but I went to try their sandwich's. I've heard good things and was impressed by the large selection of vegetarian friendly options. I got a gemini rocks the house, it was pretty good. Very fresh ingredients. My one complaint is that it was insanely expensive, while I can understand the price from a fresh ingredients perspective what was interesting to me was the fact that the vegetarian options were nearly the same price as the meat options. I don't think that makes sense. However, the staff were friendly and very helpful, it was a packed day and the service was still quick with wait times accurately listed and there's plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. If you have cash to spend and are looking for a good experience, this is a spot you should check out. read more

We were told on our first visit to Ann Arbor to get sandwiches from Zingerman's Deli and they exceeded the hype. We tried a Binny's Brooklyn Pastrami Reuben which we honestly thought was better compared to Katz's in Brooklyn NYC, which we had visited last month. The chicken salad in Mary's Commute was well-seasoned and flavorful. Lastly, the quitessential Zingerman's B.L.T. was proportioned perfectly. What truly makes the sandwiches stand out is the texture and freshness of the baked bread. It was too crowded to sample the bakery which we will do on our next visit. The quality of the food easily justifies the menu prices and don't forget to try their pie slices! read more

This place was so much fun to find. I had no idea this was the original Zngerman's. Deli food at it's finest. My group ordered Ruben sandwiches and matza ball soup. So good. The sandwich was a bit pricey but it was large. The store was fun to browse through. So many items you don't often find unless you order online. They also offered samples of some items. It's basically self serve through a kiosk but the food was prepared very promptly. Love that deli ambiance. Will definitely visit again when in Ann arbor MI. read more

By far the most famous place to eat in Ann Arbor. They have huge lines (when I arrived, they were quoting a 1 hour wait) so I was super glad I ordered ahead of time online. I got the regular size Reuben with the new pickle. It was pricey (over $20) but I have to admit it was pretty big. It had lots of meat and filling and it was enough for 2 people to eat. 1 person could finish it too but they'd be very full. Overall, I'd definitely make my way here again if I was in the area but it is NOT worth waiting in line an hour for! read more

This is my .2nd time here. The ratio of meat to bread is 30-70. For $20 I expect more meat. Disappointed again.

I fell in love with it the minute I walked into the doors. The look of it the whole concept. Such a gem. Until you have to pay for stuff. They really pork you with the prices. I spent $22 on a sandwich.... Just a normal sandwich anywhere else. And I received the smallest amount of meat and they had forgotten the cheese and Kraut. If it was decently priced, I would shop there every single day read more

Zingerman's is a classic Ann Arbor favorite, famous for their sandwiches. I love the entry into their fun and quirky shop. there is fresh bread, cheese, and meats available for purchase. They also have an area to buy olive oil and spices and wine and other fun food goods. For food, you can order inside, outside, or on your phone. The wait is accurate - on Sunday afternoon, we waited about 40 minutes. I ordered a turkey sandwich - it comes prepared on their fresh bread and loaded with meat. I do wish it had more of the avocado spread and the sauce. Sandwiches were yummy but not revolutionary. Still worth a try if in a sandwhich mood! read more

This place is an institution. Given its popularity, there are always a ton of people here, especially on a weekend. Since my last visit, they have definitely revised the order process for the better and added more seating. I ordered my lunch using a QR code, making it easy. They have a kiosk, phone number or register depending on your preference. I got the small turkey "Georgia" Reuben, traditional pickle and sea salt chips with a fountain drink. With tip, it came to over $30.00. It was estimated to be a 30 minute wait so I went and looked around at the items in the various buildings, breads (including an amazing cinnamon roll sample), deli items, pastries, chocolates, gelato etc. despite being busy, my order was ready early for pick up (15 minutes) and I was able to get a table outside in the sun. Everything was good and quality products. The grey sea salt on the chips didn't overwhelm. The grapefruit flavored soda was nicely balanced (versus the cherry cream soda that I got as my refill and dumped out because it was sticky sweet). The sandwich was pilled high. I should have ordered an extra side of dressing as the sandwich didn't have as much on it as I would have liked. It was filling. You can definitely split the sandwich and possible add a dessert instead. read more

Great sandwiches and the store is great for gourmet treats. Their homemade chocolate marshmallows are AMAZING!

To tell you the truth, I'm not sure why Zingerman's is so popular. It's twice as expensive as many other delis and the sandwiches are only so-so. But they do have a big menu to choose from and it's nice that the sandwiches are made with their own fresh bread. Here are the positives - they make it very easy to order, with multiple options, including ordering in person, ordering from a kiosk and ordering on your phone. I ordered on my phone and found the order tracking impressive, which allowed me to visit the neighboring farmer's market while I waited for my order. The order was ready a few minutes earlier than originally estimated even though it was a very busy day. There's an entire room for pickups and they have it organized very efficiently. There was plenty of seating outside and all but one table was shaded. We tried the Zingerman's Reuben (#1 on their Top 10 sandwiches list and $19.99 for the small version of the sandwich) and the Detroit St. BBQ sandwich. My father, who loves reubens thought it was good but not necessarily better than other reubens he has had. The bbq chicken sandwich was good but could have used more flavor. It was just mediocre and wouldn't even approach some of the best sandwiches I've ever had. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't so good that I'd want to return and pay inflated prices. It came with some bbq beans which my father said were ok, but not as good as some chain's bbq beans. The sandwiches were both pretty big even being "smalls" so perhaps splitting one for a light meal while you're at the market might be a suggestion. read more
