Reviews for The Bronx Deli in Pontiac, MI
After hearing raves about this place I probably expected too much. When ordering I decided to go with the supposed signature... Ruben my accompanying friend also on his first visit ordered the same. We picked a beer from a list more than adequate to servethe tastes of many, and before we were have way through with our drinks the sandwiches came along with an order of French friesordered as a side. Fries were tasty and plentiful but that's were things started to fade. We both agreed that the bread wastough and hard to bite through. But the corned beef was equally difficult and pulled out of the sandwich when trying to bite itoff. I found the Russian dressing next to non-existent and the sauerkraut was closer to shredded cabbage in flavor - meaning itlacked the punch of tartness that most of us expect from sauerkraut. And I though the cheese to be a tad skimpy. Table servicewas good to excellent and there is no complaint there. But all and all the experience at Bronx Deli was underwhelming, and Imost likely will not return. My friend said he would definitely not go back. Mainly there are too many places nearby thatserve a much better sandwich for less money and have a better beer selection. Maybe we just caught them on a bad day. Read more
Been coming here for over 6 years. The best corned beef ever! I moved out of the area for 4 years and tried bread and basket, it... was extremely fatty and gross. I moved about 45 minutes away now from the bronx and make the trip regularly. The BEST! Read more
The best Deli in the area by far. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. It's a clean, laid-back establishment. They offer... carryout and done in seating. As for their food... Their salads are HUGE and delicious! Their sandwiches are packed with meat...It's our favorite place to order carryout and catering at work!! Read more
We ordered Matza Ball soup, french fries with gravy, and a corned beef sandwich. Let's start with the fries. Yummy, really... good. They were crispy enough to stand up to the gravy without getting soggy and were nicely seasoned. The soup was, like alltheir soups, homemade. The broth in that soup is great. ???? My husband ordered the sandwich, which had swiss cheese, coleslaw,and Russian dressing. He loved it. The service was great. They have a full bar for those interested. They also have greatcheese cake. It's all good! ???? Read more
Very disappointed with the price While looking at the menu, I already thought the food was overpriced. Then when I received the... receipt I learned that they charged even more than the listed price. That just isn't goid customer service. You can get couponsonline for deals. This is owned by locals and I want to support them. The food is good, I ordered the number one Ruben withcoleslaw and Russian dressing. I was surprised how small the sandwich was for the price. The sandwich did have a good amount ofmeat on it and it did fill me up but about four bites per half sandwich. There is a dine in area that seems inviting or takeout is popular here. There is a special, were you can get your picture on the wall if you finish the mighty size meal. Read more
My wife and I had lunch at this restaurant about 3 years ago - before COVID and it was great, the bread was freshly homemade,... the cornedbeef was fresh, full of flavor and juicy. The meal I received today was horrible, just the opposite. I ordered alarge corned beef,a large club sandwich and garlic fries for $36 -out rages. The bread was stale, the cornedbeef was old anddry with no flavor. The club sandwich didn't even look like a club sandwich, it had only one piece of bacon on it, shameful. Read more
Had came here many years ago for lunch and remembered the food and services were excellent. I was out in the area of the deli... again and decided to stop in for lunch. The deli and the server (Alisha) were fantastic. The turkey club and a basket of theirfamous fries did not disappoint either. It was just like I remembered it. Would highly recommend coming here for lunch. Thedeli has great atmosphere with not only the food but the inside is full of pics of New York city and famous deli signs also beerand other adult beverages to boot There is an enclosed outdoor seating area to taken in the sunshine and tables in the inside of the deli. They have a wide variety of sandwiches, soups, sides to choose from. It just can't be beat. Ample parking,handicap parking, take out, Delivery available through Door Dash, curbside pick-up. They accept credit card, 4% discount whenusing cash, debit cards Read more
There are some places that are really special and I'm so happy I found one. This sandwich had e everything you could possibly... want in a sandwich. Corned beef was perfectly seasoned and moist, the coleslaw they used was minced (personal favorite of mine),and just the right amount of Russian dressing. It has to be the best deli I've been to since my last trip to New York. Anyplacethat has a pickle choice (old or new) is A+ in my book. Do yourself a favor and check them out, you won't regret it. Almostforgot, those garlic fries are to die for. Reminds me of old school fries cooked in animal fat! Read more
