Mike's Famous Ham Place

I ordered a regular sized ham and cheese with pickles, mustard and a fried egg sandwich on an onion roll via Door dash on a Saturday around noon and was thoroughly pleased with my food and experience. The food was well priced and ready in 10 minutes for pickup. The ham is super juicy and tender and the sandwich was huge and delicious.

Note from October 2022 visit. If the sign says Famous it's gotta be great. This place slaps old school cool straight outta 1970 vibe. Ma n Pa run a clean small menu Ham place, Yes it's Famous. Just look at the beautiful Ham photo on the pedestal ready for slicing. Only a handful of Detroit Ham Kings remain where they roast 30 pound Dearborn Brand Ham's daily, sliced right off the bone for me Ham on Onion Roll rules, ,, yes filled the belly with Love my usual order. Today we had a bowl and Pea n Ham Soup spot on delicious. A pair of Sunnyside Egg's, Toast n Ham. Just minutes to Downtown Detroit on Michigan Ave you will be in HAM heaven. Detroit also has Ham Palace , Liles and A&L Ham Palace with same outstanding Delicious Ham. Hopefully they stay around forever this place since 1974 a must visit. #mikesfamoushamplace #hamkingsdetroit #gotham #dearbornbrandham #hamsandwich #hamneggs #splitpeasoup #downriverfriendseat

Such a gem! My boyfriend and I biked over to Mike's for lunch, and it started to downpour rain as we arrived. We were fumbling to lock up our bikes outside when the Owner popped outside and waved us inside (bikes included!) So kind, and definitely saved us from getting soaked. From there, the split pea soup and ham sandwiches hit the spot. The owners were also super friendly! Such a great experience.

Absolutely tasty. To the point good and exact service, if you don’t want ham, they can make you a grilled cheese, with ham:-)

We just went there with two extremely loud and messy children. The owners were so nice, welcoming, and patient! The food was delicious and very reasonably priced. There are only four things to order there and we ordered all 4! It was a huge amount of food, and the ham is the best ham I've ever had. The soup is hearty, flavorful, and literally overflowing from the bowls. Highly recommend.

So on my last trip to Detroit from southern Missouri, I set my maps to go directly to this place. I don't care where you are, this ham is worth the drive. Ham & eggs Ham sandwich Split pea w/Ham Ham & beans I can't say enough about this tiny mom & pop restaurant. God that's good Ham They also sell whole hams & bones.

Do you like ham? Do you LOVE ham? Then come to Mike's Famous Ham Place! They have around five different menu items. My ham sandwich was 3x better than expected, with tons of ham and delicious pickles on a soft poppyseed bun. My friends raved about the ham and pea soup. The lady and gentleman running the joint were so friendly and funny. They took amazing care of our eight person care.

Good ham sandwiches and bean soup. If your looking for a giant menu this isn't what your looking for. If you want a great ham sandwich sliced fresh off the bone stop in they are delicious.

Mike's Famous Ham is a classic, old school, perfectly prepared delight. Try it, you'll love it. John, the new owner, will offer a smile as he hand carves generous portions of ham with every serving. Whether it's piled high in an onion or Kaiser roll or served alongside perfectly prepared eggs. The ham was amazing, as well as the pea soup made from their ham bones. This restaurant just has a great feel about it. It's super clean and orderly, and looks exactly like it did when they opened more than 50 years ago. An old school Detroit classic.

I stopped in today and bought a couple of sandwich's. Not much to choose from the menu is simple and straight to the point. So if you want HAM with eggs, HAM on a sandwich , some soup then you're good. If not keep pushing this ain't for you. The service was perfect, the interior is exactly like you think it would be......no frills no thrills......get your food have friendly convo or kick rocks! Your choice. This is a simpler times restaurant ......something form the past. Food was awesome.....PERIOD!

This place makes the most amazing ham. I was fortunate enough to make a pitstop omw to the airport and grab one of their wonderful sandwiches. The interior of the place is just what you would hope to see when you go inside. Clean, with stools at a bar in front of grill and hospitality second to none. I called my sandwich in by phone so I can't speak to dine in service but my sandwich was ready and very good portion.

Fabulous!!!! Love it here. The pea soup and sandwich are my favorite. Please go here before Mike retires and shut it down

Truly a gem in Detroit. Simple menu... ham sandwiches and soup. That's it. The ham was hot off the bone. Bread was fresh. Bean soup was hearty and delicious. My wife wanted mayo on her sandwich. Nope, mustard only. (Reminded me of the old Saturday Night Live cheeburger skit, if you're of a certain age.) Anyway, nice people. Good food.

The menu is small but the owners have perfected it! A must eat Detroit restaurant. Come here, you'll be happy you did.

Detroit is certainly having a Renaissance, particularly down town. As you get out to the hinterlands, well maybe a little less. But a cities renaissance sometimes clear cuts iconic joints that no longer.....fit. Mikes has been on Michigan Ave for 50 years. Far enough out, Mikes hasn't been gentrified out of business or wrecked by hipsters. There wasn't a Bird scooter in sight! But there's not much in sight at all for that matter. Call it Corktown adjacent. Unsurprisingly Mikes Famous sells.....get ready for it, ham. And that's about it. This retro time warp gem is an old school place that does one thing and does it well. Ham and eggs, ham sandwich, split pea soup, with ham nach, and navy bean with ..ham. Think the Saturday Night Live, cheeseburger, cheeseburger sketch with ham. 5 stools, a like amount of chairs facing the window a counter and prep area back, and that's it. A steady stream of take out customers left with Sandwiches and quarts of soup. They must have gotten a tip on a famine. Now the food. Sandwiches are huge, I had a small and it was still huge. Soups were very good, I was able to sample both. Mike himself held court slicing ham like a maistro. And he brought out a fresh ham that they cook on site as I was sitting there. The ham was fresh carved, juicy, served on a fresh kaiser roll with pickles and a slice of cheese. Washed down with a Coke, it was ham-tastic! $16 later I was done and out the door. Not cheap but nothing great is. Oh and that $16, cash on the barrel head only. The register is so old it only rings a max of $5 so the register sings like a slot machine paying off if a large order is rung up, in $5 intervals! Remember no cards, and no ATM so come prepared. So go to the edge of the D for a great piece of food history. Mike is the man with a plan for ham. Hot damn! Mikes. Go!

Great ham. Great breakfast, sandwiches. Both soups are awesome. People are cool, and the decor is perfect. LOVE.

I'm just sad that this place is closing. I've been stopping there every time I'm heading home from downtown. The ham sandwiches are the best that you can find anywhere! The soups are amazing. Hope you enjoy your retirement. You deserve it!

Mike has some good ass Ham. It's only ham but damn!! How'd he get that hame to taste so good. I'll be back.

Whenever I go downtown, I always make it a point to go to Mike's. The owners are very down to earth people. When you walk in, you feel at home. I always have the ham sandwich and a bowl of bean soup. I'm a big guy. Having the sandwich and soup, I can't eat it all. That how much food you get. If you are in the neighborhood, don't pass it up.

Old style diner, with counter seating. Now, I have driven along Michigan Avenue for decades, yet I have never been here before today. At the recommendation of a friend, I stopped for lunch. A side note - they accept cash for payment. No plastic. If you don't have time to dine inside, they also do a brisk carry-out. Two sizes of ham sandwich, small and large. Well, well, let's see how large it really is! That and a bowl of split pea soup. Do I want cheese on my sandwich? Yes please! The diner was filled to capacity, as currently set by the governor. There were clear plexiglass type shields set up to separate the dining and food preparation areas. Everyone wore masks, except for the diners that were eating. Shortly after I ordered my meal, it was set in front of me as I sat along the window counter. The pea soup came with crackers, but once I dug in, I forgot about the crackers. Let me tell ya'll, I finished that soup in no time! Nice and thick, with ample ham bits, it was some of the best split pea soup I have ever had the pleasure of eating. Seriously, if the ham-n-bean soup is anything like the split pea soup, they have a hidden gem right there. Okay, so on to the ham sandwich. 10 bucks. Yep, 10 bucks. And I'll happily order it again. With plenty of pickle slices on the side, and a bottle of mustard to adjust the sandwich to your liking, I mean-to-tell-ya! The fresh sandwich bun was topped with little poppy seeds and did its job well trying to hold all of that ham in place. Nothing got soggy, it was pretty much a perfect size and thickness. Oh, and the ham!! I counted 6 layers of fresh, moist ham stacked one on top of the other. Now, boys and girls, these slices were hand carved. None of that machine processed and prepackaged stuff that you typically find at chain sandwich shops, all weighed out and prim and proper. No, if you order a ham sandwich here, they just start carving away on the ham till they get 'just enough'. Plus that one extra slice that they throw on top just for good measure (check out my pictures). Now, how fresh is that ham, you may ask. Well, let me tell ya! That ham is so fresh, they have a hog chained to a pole out back with half his @$$ missing! Yessiree, it's that fresh! If you are ever in the area of Michigan Avenue and I-96, just west of downtown Detroit, check them out. You will most certainly enjoy your meal. I highly recommend!

Tourist review: This was our first meal and favorite by the end of the trip. The prices were not only reasonable but the sandwiches were stacked! And not only portions generous, the ham is so tender and juicy. I genuinely envy the locals who get to buy a whole ham from this place for events/holidays. The owners were very nice, made small talk, and gave us a free bowls of pea and bean soups. Both were thick, flavorful, and had chunks of ham. The sandwich bread was not dry. If I ever come back to Detroit, this is #1 on my list.

My wife and I drove down after seeing a local "mini-documentary" about Mike's Famous Ham Place. We we mildly surprised at the simplicity and absolute cleanliness of the restaurant. We ordered two sandwiches, one large with egg and one "small" (no egg) and also a quart of the bean soup after they provided us with a sampling of it, and the Split Pea, to taste. This is THE best ham sandwich I have ever had in my 70 years on this planet! My wife agrees completely. The bean soup, also, was thick and delicious, and they included mini-oyster crackers with it. I have a very big appetite, but had to work at finishing just one-half of mine. Moral of the story: the food was awesome and well-worth the trip down. We will definitely be going back to Mike's Place for another absolutely delicious ham sandwich, no doubt about it, and we'll take home a quart of the Pea soup this time around. Additionally, for what they offer here the prices are pretty reasonable. No real complaint about that. You certainly get your money's worth.

I travel to this side of town a few times a year. When I do, it's always a treat to sit at the linoleum counter, have a ham sandwich and a coke and follow it up with a slab of cherry pie. The ham is sliced thick. A small nosh of ham is artfully tooth-picked to the top of the poppy-seeded bun. Be sure to order it with mustard, cheese and pickles! Yesterday, there was a steady flow of people coming in for a brimming bowl (and I mean brimming!) of old-fashioned pea soup, a sannie or one of their huge breakfast plates of ham, toast and eggs. I usually sit at the counter, close to the guy carving the meat and watch him crafting sandwiches. You can appreciate the aged ambiance of Detroit history in this place. It's a simple, neighborhood, elbows-on-the-table, breakfast/lunch shop. Americana at its best. This is the way your father and grandfather used to like their food. Yes, it's a $15.00 sandwich but once it's plated in front of you, it's worth it!

Ok, the ambiance leaves a little to be desired but WOW, what a breakfast. Ham was excellent and service was top notch. I couldn't finish all the ham they gave me so they made it up into a sandwich to go.

If the sign says Famous it's gotta be great. This place slaps old school cool straight outta 1970 vibe. Ma n Pa run a clean small menu Ham place, Yes it's Famous. Just look at the beautiful Ham photo on the pedestal ready for slicing. Only a handful of Detroit Ham Kings remain where they roast 30 pound Dearborn Brand Ham's daily, sliced right off the bone for me Ham on Onion Roll rules, ,, yes filled the belly with Love my usual order.

I went here this past Saturday. They were so nice. Service was wonderful. Best split pea soup and bean soup I had in years. This place is a real Gem. Highly recommend. Also very clean restaurant. Give this place a try you will not be disappointed.

Shhhh. Don't tell anyone. This place is a dream come true. So glad I work nearby and can come more often!

Great ham sandwich on kaiser roll with mustard. No may. 2 soups ham and bean and split pea. Breakfast menu is ham and eggs. Remember this is Mike's Famous Ham Place and that's ALL there is.

It has good sandwich and I'd like the soup it is place small but you should be able to get in with no problem !.

Mike's has been on my list for quite awhile. One day I was really hungry for ham so I got in my car and took a drive down Michigan Ave... As others have mentioned, the options are limited. They pride themselves on their ham.... And they should! It's was absolutely delicious! Smoky, but very tasty. I just wanted some ham for sandwiches at home the next day, so I asked for four slices. The owner asked if I wanted them for sandwiches. I said yes and he cut us some nice portions. In addition to the ham I got a large split pea soup. I'm not a split pea soup fan and didn't care for It. My mom wasn't much of a fan either, and she loves split pea soup. I'll pass next time, but look forward to trying the bean soup. It's not fancy, but it's good! I can't wait to visit again!

You know when you cook a ham for a holiday and it comes out all dry on the outside and you, the ham lover, are cutting out the good parts from the interior because you know good ham? No? Just me? If you are a true ham lover, you will love Mike's. The ham is unbelievable! It's the best I have ever had. It's moist, flavorful, nearly fatless, and there is no rind at all. Believe me when I tell you: you will never experience better ham. Or service. The sandwiches are huge, so I highly recommend getting a small. Even that sandwich comes with at least a half pound of ham. It's insane! I was just visiting Detroit so I wasn't able to bring back a whole ham, but I would do so if I had the chance.

Absolutely legit place. Fantastic soups and the sandwich really should be famous. No frills just good food.

I love this place and I can not stop thinking about the food here. The ham sandwich here is the Rickest of Ricks, which means the Bean Soup has got to be the Mortiest of Morty's and it is.....however, the Pea Soup is also the Mortiest of Morty's, but in Pea form. You definitely get your money's worth here pal. You will be filled up. The Soup is the size of the I-94 Tire and the ham sandwich is stacked like a 747, so damn tasty. The place is cash only, a Detroit classic which I feel has been around for a very long and tasty time. I am sure it will be around forever and ever. Imagine every single Easter or Christmas ham you've ever had at your grandma's after church on those holidays when you were a child......now imagine all the smiles, gifts, fun and excitement. That's what the ham tastes like, just absolutely perfect. You will eat like 3 or 4 ham slices before you dive into the sandwich because of the delicious taste.....I'm not kidding, that is a spoiler. It's so delicious. The Soup is even better, there's the real ham cooked into the soup. If it's a cold day and your body needs a pick-me-up, that soup will comfort you every time. I wish I could keep a warm bowl by my bed for my night terrors.....knock me right out dawg. A+++ Only way to make this place Hall of Fame is to make it 24-7 (I wish), Have scalloped potatoes or cheesy hashbrowns, and have a fridge of every horseradish in America available, lol. Ham is so damn DAMN good that I want to try every horseradish with this glorious meat treat. Truly, don't change a thing. Mike's Famous is Detroit's OG Ham and trust me, I know ham ;)

I REALLY need to get here more often ! Still a friendly family owned place for over 45 years. Shared a heaping bowl of homemade bean soup that was soo good. Also shared a large ham and eggs plate. Must have had at least a pound of ham along with very buttery scrambled eggs. Included toast. Added in 2 sodas and a ham bone to go - some soup in the fall ! Bill came to $23. Worth a try .

Best ham place in Detroit we go there every time we come downstate split pea soup is to die for you get a large ham sandwich you have enough ham for the next day for a couple of meals for the amount that you get well worth the price like I said best place in Detroit.

Wow! Iconic restaurant with owners behind the counter offering the best ham sandwich and bean or pea soups. The sammie is probably the best I've ever had.

Located on Michigan Ave, just west of Corktown, I pass this place everyday and was curious as to what was inside. I finally stopped in for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised! The place is small but cute. You actually belly up to the grill when you sit at the counter. I received a friendly greeting and was engaged in small talk by the cook and waitress about the local news story that was playing on the mounted TV in the corner. Breakfast includes ham, eggs, and toast for a very reasonable price. Breakfast comes as a half order or full, I chose half. Mike famous ham is hot and thick sliced directly off the bone. Yum! I had my eggs scrambled and it was obvious from the taste that they were cooked with fresh cream butter! Another yum! You get your choice of toast as well. This breakfast helping was so satisfying, I can't imagine what the full breakfast must be like. The menu is simple, but all the items are apparently very well done, and also includes a ham sandwich made with Mike famous ham and homemade bean with ham soup that I am dying to get back to try out. They only accept cash as a form of payment, so please come prepared. And they close at 3pm, so be sure to go early!

So I walked into this restaurant and tried the pea soup I felt very uncomfortable the soup was good tasty in fact the price was reasonable but because they have never seen me they thought or I should say they were looking at me as if I was gonna rob the joint ... such is D Ok so now I kept coming back and it's completely different they greet me when I walk In the service is quick and the food is good I guess if you been their for so long you would know all your regulars and be suspicious of any variation

I've wanted to try this place, but whenever I was in the area it was always closed. I finally got the chance to stop in. The restaurant is small, but does offer dine-in seating. The number of items on the menu was not impressive, however the food I received was. The ham sandwich was stacked with thick cuts of meat that made it large enough to share. I also ordered the bean soup which is so yummy! It didn't even make it home! The split pea it good too, but I'll get the bean everytime. If you like honey mustard, dijon or mayo, You better bring it with you. You can get your sandwich plain or with yellow mustard. That's it. That's just fine with me (it's a good sandwich) As far as I remember they are cash only. The only real downside is the hours. They close daily at 3pm. But when I want a really good stacked ham, this is where I'll head.

This place is priceless. The owners are fabulous people and have been here 40+ years. If you claim you're a Detroiter you have to go to Mikes Famous Ham Place. Whether you get the ham and eggs or ham sandwich (those are the choices) you will not be disappointed. Don't forget the soups (pea or bean)! I tried the bean and ate every last drop. Places like this are lost in time and an absolute must try!

I'm not big on ham sandwiches but still good. Our group of 5 was served pretty quickly. The ham is cut up in front of you. Unique place little diner. If you like ham, you'll like it.

The best tasting ham in the city of Detroit. I must say that over the years the taste is never compromised. In addition, the soups Are tasty as well

Yes, the ham is sweet and delicious. The owner, I think it was Mike, but didn't want to embarrass myself and look like a tourist, was beyond friendly. Of course I had the sandwich. The pickles, mustard and cheese were the perfect complement to the sweet ham. (Full disclosure, I do prefer ham on my sandwiches to be shaved, falling apart thin, but the sandwich is an experience, not just a sandwich.) The regulars at the counter, all turned around when I walked in, because apparently I looked like a tourist, but they were all so nice and chatty and INSISTING I had to try the soup. To kill the tourist aura I mentioned that I do work in Detroit at Motor City Electric and that my boyfriend also works there and told me it was the best ham sandwich has ever had so I had to try it. After that it was like chatting with friends. As soon as the weather cools down, I will be trying the soup.

Haaaammmmm.... Have you seen that Tom Rubnitz "Pickle Surprise" video? If not, go watch it. I swear it involves ham. Anyway... Mike's Famous Ham Place deserves to be famous. That ham is incredible. I am a sucker for all things salty, so a ham sandwich with pickles is a good choice for someone like me. I got the "small" ham sandwich and was given a huge ham sandwich. I'm afraid to know what the large one would have been like. The ham and pickles were both delish and the service was quick and friendly. You can also buy a whole ham here. There's not a ton to say, came here for some ham, got some ham. Mission accomplished. I didn't even steal the tiny Stanley cup from the top of the cash register, because I'm not that much of a dick. 5 stars for Mike's Famous Ham Place and 5 stars for me. Cash only!

Exactly the same as in previous reviews. I had the ham breakfast; nice scrambled eggs, toast and ham. It's good ham, not really salty, nice chunks (not sad deli slices). It's always fresh (he goes through between 4-6 full hams most days), service is friendly. Mike is quick with the snappy one-liners (at least he was this weekend). Bring your appetite, your cash, and belly up to the bar.

This is a tough review for me because I'm not a "ham person". Don't care for it that much but, I do know good ham when I taste it and being Polish, I've had more than my fair share of ham in my life. In my opinion, the best ham anywhere is in Poland but I digress. OK so the wife and I were parked at Hygrades and ready to walk in for a delicious corned beef sandwich, which the place is famous for and I agree wholeheartedly, when she asks if I had ever tried Mike's which is right next door basically. I said no so we thought we'd give it a shot, even though I don't like ham sandwiches that much. We split a large ham sandwich and we each got a bowl of soup. I had the split pea with ham and she had the bean and ham. All I can say is, eh. Don't see what the fuss is about. The ham is average at best and presented in peasant fashion with pickle slices and a bottle of mustard. No cheese, lettuce, tomato, mayo, nothing. Very plain and boring. It's a matter of preference but I hate thick, rubbery ham slices, stacked high on a roll. It reminds me of a late night drunk's meal in the Appalachian's somewhere. The soups were OK but, what's with the over-pouring of small bowls? What a waste. Why not use bigger bowls and not waste any soup? Am I supposed to believe the serving is much larger than expected because it runs out onto the plate? In fact, you get less and I felt I got cheated out of some soup that was actually decent (but not spectacular, by any stretch). There is not much to the menu. Eggs, ham and toast for breakfast, ham sandwich, and two soups along with some drinks. Reminds me of the old Monty Python skit; Spam, spam, spam, spam, eggs, spam, spam, spam and spam. Just substitute ham for spam in the song lyrics and you have Mike's. As chef's go, Mike has a very limited repertoire. I'm not gonna get further into the details of finer dining because this place caters to a crowd that wouldn't probably know a good ham sandwich from a Slim Jim at Ram's Horn but, you would think that a one trick pony would at least know a good trick. I can rattle off at least 6 places from the top of my head that have much better ham sandwiches. So what's the point of this place other than a unique, counter style diner charm and experience. So if your idea of good food is to over blow your salt sensing taste buds than this is the place for you but, not for me thanks.

I used to get the Ham sandwich here when I worked downtown Detroit in high school. Yesterday afternoon, after 35 years, I finally made it back hoping it was as good as childhood "me" remembered. It was! No better ham sandwich anywhere than Mike's!

Let's start out with service.. Mike and the other woman employee (not sure of her name) are extremely nice and friendly. They keep your glass full and are very attentive. The food comes extremely fast. The menu is super short but everything on it is 100% (or so I've heard). I've been there once and got the ham, eggs, and toast. It was very delicious!! Can't wait to go back and try the soup and sandwiches! This is not a place for large groups because there's limited seating and its small inside. More of a place for food to go or a quick bite if you're in a hurry. They even have delivery which is awesome! I'm IN LOVE with this new (to me), hidden gem and Id recommend it to everyone!

Probably hands-down the best ham sandwich that can be had in Metro Detroit. A bit on the pricey side, but worth it overall. The split pea and ham soup was delicious!

Family owned and operated, I think they told me 30 years or so. The ham sandwich is HUGE! I had a bowl of split pea soup, and could only finish half of my sandwich. You could easily split one, and both be happy. This is a great place to get a taste of Detroit!

I've lived in Detroit for almost a year and am finally checking it out. LOVED it. Small menu, cash only. Get the ham sandwich with cheese, it's all you need, promise.

I really enjoy my breakfast everytime I come in. Such a small menu yet still on point. I can't eat a whole sandwich or breakfast, so to me the portions are good. If you have dogs, or want to get the bone for whatever reason, Mike will sell them to you for about $20 or so. My dog died, I got him one a long time ago :,( R.i.P. TY$0N**°《》°*《》°*《》

Greatest ham sandwiches & soups. Very nice couple made us feel at home! Definitely will be back & great value.

I love this tiny place. I can't eat there often, but I love it. It's an old diner on Michigan Ave that closes at 3 or 4. The menu is basically: - ham sandwich - split pea soup with ham - eggs and ham The ham sandwich is gigantic - eat half and take half home or share one with a friend. The ham sandwich is garnished with ... a slice of ham. I am not making that up. The owners are there and usually one other staff member. They are sweet. They also have pie. I don't know if they make them. I've never tried them as I've eaten too much ham. The sweetness might be a good foil for the salty ham.

I grew up in Southwest Detroit and Mike's place is like home for me, as he has always treated my family and self with the utmost respect and warmth. Not to mention the food is spectacular. The split pea soup is to die for and the ham sandwiches are sent from heaven. If you are lucky enough to find yourself in the area of Roosevelt St and Michigan Ave, you should allow yourself to indulge in some of the best eats in the whole state at Mike's Famous Ham!

In town visiting my husband family. . He had to make a stop for the famous ham sandwiches. It been over 20 yrs, since he last been there. Original owners with excellent service, warm friendly atmosphere. And great ham, eggs breakfast. . And we took several sandwiches to go .. a must try in Detroit

Stopped on a whim to see if this place was as famous as the name implies. As far as ham places go, I think this one is great. They know what they are famous for and they do it well. We got ham sandwiches and split pea soup to go. The people behind the counter were super friendly. I'd come back if I have a hankering for ham anytime soon! I'd recommend it to others also.
