OMG are you kidding me with this!!!! Unreal, just top notch. I had this placed bookmarked for a while, and finally got to come in. Boy did I regret waiting so long.
Had the #3 Pastrami, slaw, russian, swiss, on rye. I subbed in a Onion Roll, and asked for it grilled. Extra russian on the side. One bite, and I stood up and ordered another to go. The slaw was crisp, not too creamy and not to tangy. His russian dressing is addictive, and thick. Loved the old and new dill, quality.
Homemade chicken noodle soup was perfection. Chunks of shredded tender chicken that was clearly made with care. Well balance broth, not overly salty. First time in a long time I did a sandwich / soup combo as it's not usually my thing and I was so happy.
I also got a #1 to go, which is corned beef, slaw, russian, on rye. I'm usually a Pastrami guy all day, I love it and it's great here, but the corned beef was even better. The corned beef flavor lingered in the back of your mouth even after the falvor of swiss, slaw, and russian faded away.
I've had Sy Ginsberg's corned beef before, but never in sandwich form. Mother of god. For those not in the know Sy Ginsberg's corned beef is from United Meat and Deli out of Detroit, it is ridiculously good. Schwartz's is all Detroit / Michigan, serving up Faygo products, better made potato chips, Detroit meats, and bread from Southfield's BakeStation.
Here's a clip from their website
"Schwartz's Delicatessen was formed 6 yrs ago when Michael Schwartz learned from leading Deli man and uncle of the world famous Bread Baskets, Ron Foreman. He taught him every everything, from cooking our famous mouth watering Corned Beef by Sy Ginsberg to hand slicing every loaf of fresh out of the oven double baked Jewish Rye. Michael then went on to open his first delicatessen in Lansing. It was a hit right off the bat in the heart of collage town. He then moved to his home town in Milford where we settled today."
I literally can not stop thinking about the next time I get to eat here.
