"Appearing on many "Best Deli" lists, this Corktown staple is more than just a deli, offering Sunday brunch, comfort food dinners, and a low key bar. They take pride in using the best local products and you can pick from any of their 100 craft beers. They utilize community products and take pride in recycling and composting to help our environment. Try the Gutty or the Stinson, and all of their soups are outstanding." - Michelle & Chris Gerard
"Mudgie’s is Detroit’s gift from the sandwich gods so, naturally, its breakfast sandwich game is strong. Many hearty egg-topped options grace the brunch menu. Though the Stinson — with peppered ham, bacon, cheddar, maple onions, chipotle mayo, and fried egg on a brioche roll — is a standout. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday’s, Mudgie’s turns into a breakfast sandwich haven. Be sure to get there early; it can get quite busy." - Danny Palumbo
"The sandwich and wine shop, founded by Greg Mudge in 2008, offers monthly wine tastings, rotating weekly specials, and a large patio with a seasonal tiki bar that features live music throughout the summer. The deli’s already popular sandwich lineup gets a brunch-worthy upgrade on Sundays. From 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., diners can enjoy sandwiches like the Gutty, Stinson, and Sho’Nuff — each topped with a fried egg — along with classic brunch fare including eggs Benedict, the Mudgie Cristo, biscuits and gravy, grits, and vegan-friendly options. Online ordering is available." - Courtney Burk
"A neighborhood restaurant and bar known for monster corned beef sandwiches, family-friendly vibes, and a strong beer and wine selection — a go-to for generous deli-style sandwiches." - Serena Maria Daniels
"With its friendly staff, lunch, beer, and wine offerings, Mudgie’s Deli continues to serve as a community gathering place for Corktown. Dig into excellent sandwiches like the Mayor — featuring salami, turkey, cheddar, banana peppers, romaine lettuce, and chipotle mayo on rye bread. The indoor dining space gives off old-school deli vibes with lived-in hardwood floors and casual seating, while the bar and outdoor patio areas are charming additions to the neighborhood. Placing an order to go? Online ordering is available and don’t forget to pick up a bottle of wine from the bottle shop. Must try: Be sure to order the Brooklyn — one of the deli’s OG offerings. It’s served warm and features house-smoked beef brisket, applewood-smoked bacon, beer pub cheese, and caramelized maple onions on a brioche roll." - Serena Maria Daniels
