Louie's Ham & Corned Beef

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (would happily return) For Sure! I had a really nice experience at Lou’s Deli. The ambiance was welcoming and full of character, and the overall vibe felt like a true neighborhood spot. I came in with my son, and we genuinely enjoyed our time there. A good friend of mine from Berry & Sons Islamic Slaughter House which is also a 5-star place recommended Lou’s, so I stopped by specifically for the corned beef. The quality and flavor were excellent, and everything tasted fresh and well prepared. I ordered the corned beef sandwich (plain with mustard) with fries, while my son had breakfast, which he really enjoyed. The service was exceptional very friendly, attentive, and welcoming. Our waitress, an Albanian lady, was wonderful and added to the warm, community oriented atmosphere. You can feel the kindness and pride people take in their work there. If I had one small suggestion, it would be to add a bit more meat to the corned beef sandwich. I honestly wouldn’t have minded paying a little extra for a heavier portion in New York Jewish-deli style Deli’s. That said, the taste and quality were absolutely five-star, and next time I’ll simply ask for extra meat. Overall, great food, great people, great atmosphere. I would definitely go back and recommend it to anyone looking for a solid deli experience in Detroit especially if you appreciate good service and quality food.

First time here and it’s worth a visit again. Food was delicious and large portions. Staff was friendly and hardworking. I was so full this may be my only meal of the day. Great breakfast menu.

Staff was cool as can be! Sat with us and had a good conversation before our food came out. Made sure we had exactly what was ordered.

The omelets here at Louie's Ham and Corned Beef are out of this world FANTASTIC and so huge you should split it with someone unless you're an afhlete etc that can handle that amount of food. This should be considered a 5 star plus restaurant because everything they do is so top notch and above and beyond. With a long drive to experience this restaurant well worth it. Should definitely be on everyone's bucket list. You will become a fan and want to dine here again and again.

The best corned beef sandwich I ever had! Delicious and it came with two sides of my choice. Service was prompt and excellent! Great place to eat with friends!!

My wife and I stopped in Louie's for lunch for the first time and the soup and sandwich were delicious! Great service and they were busy at 11:00am.

Went for their famous corned beef. Got the Reuben sandwich no fries. Couldn't see any rye on my rye bread let alone taste it. Not grilled in the traditional sense as it was dry. Thousand Island dressing was runny, lacking and tasteless. Corned beef was delicious. Service was excellent even though the place was packed. Clean inside and plenty of natural lighting.

Delish food. Homemade cornbeef hash with two eggs over medium cooked perfectly. Didn't care for the pancakes but its not a pancake house. Great service and amazing coffee. Gets my vote.

Oh man, it's been almost a month now, since I visited Detroit. I can still taste the corned beef and pastrami sandwich. That Combo Delight! We just came into town and saw this was one of top rated restaurants, well then, let's give em a try! Everyone got breakfast, but no, I wanted something different. So I got the Combo Delight, I never had pastrami and corned beef like this. For corned beef I imagine, it in a can and with potatoes. Then for pastrami, I think it's cold or for charcuterie board. Once I got that sucker, tried it, booooy. I wanted to Berserker Barrage (Video Game reference) someone. Damn that was the most tender and juicy sandwich. I'm glad I didn't get a side because it would've been insulting to my stomach. But yeah, it was so good. I'm currently in Vegas, wanting to come back just for that. Overall, would I come back? Say less! Forget to mention, service was great, I forgot the waitress name, she was funny and sarcastic. The vibes are like a chill, homey diner.

If you love ham or just a really good, quick breakfast, this is THE spot!! The place is tiny, but they get food out so fast that the wait is never long. Waitresses are always friendly. I have nothing but good things to say. TRY THIS PLACE!!

They're just so sweet and professional! Service is awesome. Efficient carry out and a sit down meal is pleasant and ideal too. Cute little piggies, art and fun stuff to look at around and in the restaurant and it's clean and welcoming. Multiple menu options. Seems pricey, but orders are plenty and I usually get 2.5 meals out of my orders. Highly recommend.

A Eastern Market Detroit Classic, oh yeah Mega Omelette . Got the famous Louie's Mistake Ham, corned beef, green peppers, onions, and cheese with triple thick Rye Toast. Totally blown away couldn't eat it all. We shared a bowl of marvelous Cheddar Broccoli Soup a winner. She had a fantastic Double Cheeseburger . Thanks Ms Molly for the five star service, you Check out the web site https://louieseasternmarket.com/ #louieshamandcornedbeef @louiesham_cornedbeef #megaomelette #ham #cornedbeef #doublechesseburger #broccolicheddarsoup #eaternmarketdetroit #downriverfriendseat

Classic diner experience. The customer service propells the experience here, and the food is solid. There are lots of options to choose from, satisfying nearly everyone. The prices are comparable to like diners.

This place is pure nostalgia for me. When I first moved to Detroit, my mentor teacher, always said, "for the best corned beef sandwich in Detroit, go to Louie's." It quickly grew to become our weekend diner spot and it really hasn't changed since then. If you're looking for a go-to breakfast spot, I highly recommend Louie's whether it's right after Eastern Market, Sunday service, or a quick drive thru pickup. It's all that and more. Enjoy!

For the general a diner, this is pretty standard. There was bar and booth seating. It is a little more run down than an average diner, but the selection was classic and there were a lot of options. It had a full menu of handhelds and breakfast. There were the typical choices or omelettes, eggs and pancakes/waffles. Service was slow but fast? The waitress checked up on us in the beginning of our lunch, but when time passed, she left for an extremely long time when we were waiting for the check.

Great food at affordable prices! I always get a great breakfast here every time and it doesn't break me paying for it!! The food here is delicious and the staff is very friendly.

Add more corn beef to corn beef hash. When it was brought to the waitress attention she just replied sorry. Diced potatoes with sprinkle of corn beef . Didn't look anything like the pics posted. Service was fast place was clean .

The salads are the best. I usually get the Cobb Salad. The lettuce is always fresh and crisp, chicken grilled to perfection and it's topped with real thick cut bacon.

Our waitress made our visit here even better! The prices were fair and the menu was huge. Gave a diner feel and was very clean. Our food came quickly and was amazing! I definitely recommend this spot if you're in the area or down in Eastern Market!

Whet for breakfast got corn, beef, and eggs over medium. I was shocked when the plate of food came out and there was so much corn beef, but didn't realize why it was such a large amount because it was pretty much all potatoes if you have a corn beef place how are you serving corn beef hash with very little corned beef very disappointing for a very expensive dish.

After spending some time driving around Detroit, looking for a good breakfast spot, we popped into Louise on our way home. What a great idea! We sat at the bar, and though we ordered simple food items (they actually killed it with the poach eggs A+++), what most impressed me was the efficiency of the staff, and the cleanliness of the place. When you sit at the bar, you can look into the kitchen and the back serving station. Everything is clean and I think Restaurant managers should come and take note. There is no need to have a dirty restaurant! We'll definitely be coming back again, and again! Recommended for anyone who likes fast service, go to food, friendly, service, and a clean establishment! :-)

Food was amazing. Customer service was great the restaurant was clean. Cutest place.we will definitely be back thanks for an amazing experience.

Stopped in for lunch. The service there has always been excellent for us. The staff really knows what they're doing. They have a large menu with lots of choices. I opted for a late breakfast (at lunch) and had the Italian sausage omelette. Delicious! Wonderful place that is both clean and inviting. Give them a try!

This place is incredible!!!! If you like a loaded sandwich and deliciousness, this is where you should go!!! So so so good!!!! Thank you for our yummy food! Packed house of course but, we got take out!!!

I was visiting Detroit and stopped here for a quick bite before a meeting. The staff was very nice and I got the vibe that most folks who eat here are long time regulars. I enjoyed my food overall and would go again when I'm in Detroit.

LET ME JUST SAY... they were FANTASTIC!! The guys were working down the street and we bought them lunch. They packed everything up and exactly how I asked on the phone. Labeled the boxes and wrapped in foil and just DELICIOUS! I used to work at one of the best corned beef restaurants in Sterling Heights ages ago, and I'm very picky when it comes to corned beef. This place is great!

A coworker told me about this place. She's from Detroit. It did not disappoint. So yummy! I'm here for a convention we had it delivered. It was still warm & tasty

It was a rocky start because no one knew which wait staff was supposed to handle the table. One waitress decided that she would do it while everyone was arguing about it. Thank goodness! Food arrived quickly, was hot from the grill and really tasty. Portions were massive! Since the waitress was not supposed to be our girl and still did an amazing job, she got a little bonus of a larger tip.

Food aside because it was fantastic. Last year my daughter was in patient at MOTT children's for some time next to, what I believe, was the owner's sons room who was also sick. Long story short, they offered to bring my wife and i lunch one day, and goddamnit this was incredibly generous despite what they were going through. We never got their names, but it really was such a nice gesture, and we couldn't appreciate any more than we did. If you folks ever read this, Thank you.

This is a local chain. I think it is all one family but each owned by a different member. Anyway, this is the nicest restaurant in the chain, inside and out. We came in for breakfast, corned beef hash with eggs sunny side up. I added sausage grave (everything's better with gravy). So to call the gravy bland would be a compliment. My Uncle had his hash without gravy and thought it had an unusual flavor. Keep in mind, we are Irish Boys and like to think we corned beef experts. I will return for lunch to see if it was a breakfast thing. The location by my house is a regular stop so I'm sure lunch will be better than breakfast at that location. I'm going four stars as I am giving them the benefit of the doubt, I will update after Inhave lunch here.

Yesterday my daughter celebrated her 9 year anniversary of having her successful kidney transplant. After visiting her Drs she wanted to dine in here. We ordered our food which looked delicious, my daughter asked for plastic wear to eat with due to her compromised immune system due to her transplant and was denied. They offered us to go boxes instead. I was shocked. I was told plastic wear wasn't allowed in the dining even after explaining how detrimental it was. We left the food there. We very sad and shocked. I will never go back and have alerted the media

Louie's never disappoints! Whether is breakfast or lunch, you are guaranteed a superb meal! The food is wonderfully prepared, tasty and with plenty of variety. And, the staff are delightful. From your arrival to your departure, you'll receive their focused attention, with their professional and friendly demeanor. Treat yourself. Visit Louie's for a great meal!

Best food and quality, always clean and great service. Been coming here 20yrs and feel like family.

Louie's ham & Corned Beefis always delicious for sham or cb sandwiches! So yummy! Quick in & out! Great service!

Classic midwest American diner fare, that oddly lacks a real Ham or Corned Beef focus or point of view on the menu. The atmosphere and food at this location are average, but the service is super attentive and you'll be able to get in and out with time left on your lunch break.

Great corned beef sandwich. It doesn't get much better. Had the slaw instead of the kraut. It's worth a try on this end of town

After a recent meeting in the "D" we swung in to Louie's to try out their sandwiches. The restaurant was jammed at lunch time midweek and there was a true hussel feel goi going on with the staff. They were pleasant and professional. Good to see a restaurant full and a little positive craziness going on. Sandwiches didn't take long. Maybe 12-15 min? We ordered the corned beef and the pastrami sandwiches. The pastrami really impressed me with the delicious beef. I was told it is prepard next door at Wrigley's? It was really good and I probably could have eaten the entire sandwich, but I checked myself to allow for leftovers. The corned beef sandwich was also very good. The heaping serving of beautiful corned beef was a LOT. I know there is a breakfast menu to explore. Looking forward to another visit.

I love all things corned beef so I had to stop in and have breakfast before hitting the road. This place was great. Fast, friendly service, parking was plentiful and the good was delicious. They have a drive through which was a pleasant surprise. I was happy to see plexiglass dividers between the booths for a more comfortable dining experience during covid. Everyone had on a mask and social distancing was utilized. The menu is plentiful and I'm looking forward to going back to try other menu items. I had Corned Beef hash, eggs, orange juice and toast. Outstanding! Corned Beef was full of flavor and cooked to perfect. The portion was great and I was ready to start my day after breakfast. This place is a must if you want a great breakfast early hours are always a plus for me and they are conveniently located.

This place is just a short drive from the DMC. There is parking (free) and even a drive through. When you walk in it is open and clean with hostess's to greet you at the entrance. I went with friends from work and we were starving. Everything looked good so I opted for the 1/2 sandwich and soup special. Corned beef with split pea and ham. Soup came first, then the sandwich. Both sandwiches came out quickly- more so than a grilled wrap that someone at our table ordered- probably because hey grill the chicken as ordered. Portions are huge! Not all food was consumed at the table. It was also an extremely tasty lunch. Hope to get back here to try something else.

Good food served quickly. Come for breakfast or lunch. Hearty breakfast, and roast beef and corned beef sandwiches that are hard to beat. Great staff, always with a smile

Louie's is my go-to breakfast place in the area. It's been a culinary staple of my family since I was a child. It's everything you want of a good diner and is home to the best corned beef hash, and I will fight tooth and nail about that.

They use to be the TOP DOG! They are still one of the best if not THE BEST place for ham or corned beef. i love their sandwiches and their breakfast. They have 4 egg omelettes and they are too die for. They have a great variety of them too. Broccoli and cheese used fresh broccoli. Try the irish omelette that has corned beef inside. yum. Sandwiches are great, and soups are amazing. Homemade stuff. Problem is every single time i go back, they have raised the prices. This is the only place where they charge over $3 dollars to make a sandwich into a combo. I know you use good stuff and so prices "reflect that" but ive seen a sandwich go from 6 dollars to 10 dollars over my years coming here. but ill continue to come here because the food is that good. When i want good ham or corned beef this is a local place.

Absolutely love this place! Not only is the food, amazing, but the service was too. I would come back to this place over and over again if I lived nearby. This diner is clean, comfortable and attractive. I ordered the corn beef hash with eggs and it was beyond delicious! My sister ordered the garden skillet. She absolutely loved hers and the portions were quite large. I highly recommend this restaurant. Corn beef is one of my favorite things in the whole world. I will be back!

This restaurant will always have a special place in my heart. Years ago, I met my dad here once a week and we would sit and talk. Together, we tried every sandwich on the menu. I'll tell you now, there's not one bad sammy on the list. My favorite is still the Turkey Club, or the Reuben. The Turkey Club is not only filling, but it's stacked perfectly to the point where you can't even fit it in with one bite. The Reuben is such a hearty meal. Make sure you have some time to nap after this one ;) You'll find yourself in good company, as the staff are extremely polite and professional. The tables are spaced out for social distancing and all staff had their mask on correctly.

Cooks and waitstaff were wearing their masks under their chins ... No social distancing. Didn't even get to eat because I was literally worried I was gonna get COVID from just waiting to be seated. We were gonna eat there despite the lack of social distancing and no limit of the capacity, but seeing the cooks not wearing their masks was the deal breaker.

Great food, large portions and absolutely delicious. My wife and I have been for breakfast and lunch and has not disappointed.

Ran on my lunch break to Louie's for a Ruben sandwich. The sandwich was great! I did request extra neat and was pleased with the amount added to sandwich. Also had onion rings. I called my order in and picked it up at drive thru. Good food and quick service!

Good food, a bit expensive but what isn't these days. Me and my son are there all the time. Love it!

They have been in the community a long time.. I'm shocked they don't honor veterans day.. Not even a discount.... :(

Had one of the best corned beef/ pastrami sandwhich on Saturday at noon....just prior to the Lions game...plenty of lean meat on grilled bread...so tasty....might be a familiar pit stop going forward....plenty of Lions fans must have already figured it out...5 stars for Louie and his team in Detroit....portions are very generous...wide variety of sandwiches and breakfast entree's...perfect location off 75 expressway....can't to try the different entrees...great sides dishes with sandwhiches...ambiance is family friendly!

Employees through drive thru will steal your card information and do fraud charges. The manager will do absolutely nothing about it ! Be careful eating here

Ok, soooo OMG--yummy! Best omelette I've ever had, (and I'm really not an egg person). I ordered the Corned Beef Hash Omelette, it comes with toast, for an extra up charge you can add grits or potatoes on the side. It was huge and delicious! Probably big enough to share with another person! Great service, great food--a double win!

I have been coming to this place for years and needless to say, it is a favorite go-to of mine. I love coming here for breakfast especially- the prices are very affordable for good quality food and large portions. The place gets a lot of regulars, so it has a cute and cozy feel to it. Every time I come, it is a good meal and I leave full and satisfied! The staff is friendly and they are efficient- it is never more than a 15 min wait for food even on a busy weekend morning. Love this place!!

I almost hate to rate Louie's so high, as it can already get crowded, but fair is fair. Phenomenal soups, sandwiches, etc. they get their corned beef from Wigley's, and it's over the moon. The breakfasts also look fantastic & we're going to Eastern Market early one of these days to try breakfast. The corned beef hash looks great as do the hot cakes & everything else that goes by. Friendly staff, good prices & clean as a whistle. They also own Downtown Louie's Lounge - another fave of ours!!

Don't order the "BIG" breakfast. Complete rip off, they know they are stealing. 13 dollars and no hash browns. Go somewhere else

A friend and I went here for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Despite the crowd we were seated quickly. Our server was bubbly and very friendly. I opted to forgo breakfast and ordered a Corned Beef sandwich and a bowl of Split Pea Soup. My friend had the Farmer's Omelette. Everything was delicious.

Love the food and the service. I would have liked the onions cooked more in my corned beef hash since the onions were crunchy and threw off the texture but it still tasted sooo good. Highly recommend!! Also loved the potatoes (hash browns) and my eggs were cooked perfectly.
