This is a older place, when you come in you think its a typical bat but the food is really good. The portion sizes were larger than normal and it has a nice selection on f choices . The wait staff was very attentive read more

Service was slow with less than 20 people in the bar. In a group of 3, only 1 of us got a refill (and it wasn't even asked for) the other 2 of us sat with empty glasses for an hour and a half before finally getting our bill. Then proceeded to wait another 20 minutes for the bartender to come take our cards. Dirty, loud, and overall very trashy. We won't be back. read more

Seating was absolutely filthy and the service was terrible. Cushions need replacement or steam cleaning Waitress brought our food to us and the food was good but then she disappeared and never saw her again. This is exactly why tipping in America needs to come to an end. read more

Pre-vacation dinner. We've eaten here for years. Waited an hour and a half and the wrong food came out. Won't be back. No apologies!

Had dinner here one evening, sat at the bar. The place has a pretty good menu selection. The place has a blue collar, dive bar vibe to it. Don't sit at the bar if you are easily offended. Four different staff members at various times loitered down at my end of the bar - and spent considerable time cussing. I was not offended, but it started to get a little old. They have an excellent craft beer selection, mostly in bottles. I ordered the Macho Nachos and a Founders Pale Ale, plus water. I was told they don't do glasses of water - I have to buy a bottle of water. Very odd for such a divey place. Nachos came out, the portion was massive. Way more than I could eat. The Nachos were served in this huge basket. When I commented on how much food it was - the bartender made the comment that somehow the quantity of food they were serving justified only offering bottled water. I stated that I wished they had told me how much food came in an order of Nachos - I could only eat about 1/4 of the basket - I hate wasting food. Had I known how much food this was - I would have ordered something else. The Founders Pale Ale was very good. First time trying this Pale Ale. It had a nice hoppiness, combined with a crisp, slightly citrus and bitter finish. I then had a second Pale Ale - Midwestern Pale Ale (Bell's Brewery, Kalamazoo, MI). I was not as impressed with the Midwestern Pale Ale - compared to the Founders Pale Ale. It was less flavorful and less hoppy. If I were simply ranking Wheat & Rye based on the craft beers - I would have given the place 4-5 stars. But the rather average Nachos, too much food, policy about only serving bottled water, and the ongoing coarse language - they only get 3 stars. I'd come back here to drink. read more

The atmosphere is pretty cool, everyone seems really friendly. The sandwiches are really really large. You can order one and share it with someone. We went on a weeknight, which was not as crowded but comfy, there's an old fashion jukebox with modern technology, I believe you can scan and use your phone to pick the tunes you would like to hear. The wait staff was pretty friendly and very attentive. If you wanted to hang out for lunch, while still at work, a great place to come get lunch and enjoy. Service was quick and the food served hot. If you want to hang out after work at the bar and eat, a great place to do that, tons of TV's around to catch up on the news or sports. There's an outside covered top for the Spring/Summer season. It's an overall great place to just hang out and whine down especially after a hard day's work. I believe you will not be disappointed. The service was great and so was the food. I'm looking forward to trying their Soulfood Sunday. Stay tuned for my next review. read more

Party of 5 for lunch. I'm not one for negative reviews. But This time it calls for it because all 3 who ate the Ruben's ended up with severe stomach upset within 1 hour. Worst Ruben I've ever had. The bread was crumbly like it was stale and wasn't toasted. The 'corned beef' tasted like ham and the cheese wasn't melted either. Also they won't serve water unless it's bottled water. French dip au jus was watered down,oily and flavorless. We only ate barely half the Rubens and didn't even want to take the leftovers home; they were that bad. Overall one of the top 3 worst restaurant experiences. Now the service: had to ask for silverware then realized we needed napkins and had to ask for those too, server didn't refill coffee. Never asked us how the meal was. And to add insult to injury there were gnats flying everywhere (we all had to keep shooing them away), hot water in bathroom didn't work and the towel dispenser didn't work. See pic of bathroom stall (don't want to know what is dripping down the wall) We got there when they opened. Health Dept needs to pay them a visit. read more

The service was actually pretty good until I got the bill and it was considerably higher than the prices on the menu. I showed her the menu and she would said she would take care of it (the difference) but instead she came back with another menu and said that she accidentally gave me the wrong one. She did not take care of it and expected to me to pay the higher prices. Then she became rude. Other people were walking out because their food was taking too long. read more

No surprises here. Ordered a couple of bottles of beer because the draft wasn't very cold. Ordered a bacon cheeseburger and fries. Large portion of fries but they were served limp and barely cooked. Burger had nothing on it. Apparently if you want lettuce or tomatoes it is extra. Seeing the cook hang out in the doorway looking at his phone with a cigarette (unlit) hanging out of his mouth did not inspire a lot of confidence. I would come back for a bottle of beer (hard to mess that up) but will pass on the food. Trust. read more

I liked my server Bianca, she was down to earth and attentive. I only wish she would've been honest and told me that the food was pretty bad. This place was suggested by a gal from the Hilton Garden Inn. I'm thinking it was a practical joke, because the food was a cross between crappy and inedible. My wedge salad was tolerable, that was the 'highlight'. The coleslaw was spoiled (shouldn't have been served). The fries came out soggy, so I paid for a round of shoestring which were not awesome. The buffalo burger was described as lean as can be, but the overwhelming amount of filler tells me that their quality of meat is terrible. Could only get through a quarter of it. I'm shocked by how bad my meal was. Really. It was terrible. If you're reading this, DO NOT EAT HERE. I hope that the owner see's this, and more so, considers to improve their business. I'd be embarrassed. Oh, also update your menu so that all items listed are still available. If you should disagree with any of this, improve your standards. Patrons can get sick. You're welcome. read more

Rude server and when I ordered a hamburger the bun had mold on it. Never going to this location again.

Great value for the portion sizes. If you are stuck overnight in the area due to a flight, well worth the taxi-Uber-Lyft ride. Burgers are phenomenal, sandwiches are fantastic. Hot fresh tasty meals across the menu. read more

Best Sandwiches! I travel to Detroit often for work and stay near the airport. This place is a nice hole in the wall cozy place for the locals. No out of towners except me. (I hide my Boston accent). It gets nice and active as people come in at the end of the work day. They have the traditional NY Deli style sandwiches that they are famous for. Corned Beef, Pastrami, Huge burgers, wings, big menu and the food is awesome and inexpensive. Sandwiches are huge and come with a fresh pickle. Decent beer choices, strong drinks, good Happy Hour specials, nice specials board with food specials. Friendly waitstaff, all hustle to keep tables turning. This is a nice spot and I love coming here. read more

I sat at the bar service Was quick and friendly. I ordered the Fish & Chips dinner. It was huge with 3 pieces of large fried fish, cool slaw and a mound of fries with a few lemon wedges . The breading was light and the fish was delicious. The fries were good and the cool slaw was okay. Drink and food prices are very reasonable. I travel a lot to Detroit for business and this was my first visit. I will definitely return to try other items off there menu as the sandwich being served around me looked really good also. read more

Margarita was amazing. Food was great, hot and fresh and huge portions. I could not finish. I had the catfish basket

The food here is usually really great! You get a lot for your money even during times of increased prices of things! I was super sad to learn they had taken several of my favorite items away last time I ordered from there. Otherwise my husband loves their party wing platter and their chili cheese fries are amazing. read more

This place blew me away. Killer sandwiches and HUGE!!!! The place is pretty much a dive bar. Don't let that fool you on the food. My co-worker and I sat at the bar. Drinks, nothing special, but hey, it's a dive bar. The food was amazing! I'm pretty much speechless​ on the food. They have specials during the ​week, but I got the pastrami! It's more like 3 sandwiches in one! Can't wait to go back! read more

So the Airport Wheat & Rye has been a favorite stop of mine for many years, and have not yet done a review. Let me start by saying this is NOT a fancy or even mid level place. IT IS A BAR! Once you get over that, and realize that it is more of a sports bar atmosphere, and the service is on that standard, we can get to the food. They have been known for years for their SUPER sized sandwiches. Their meats for these sandwiches are NOT house made, but deli meats. The sandwiches are HUGE! From the famous corned beef on an onion roll to my favorite the Wheat & Rye Combo, they are almost too big to put in your mouth. Last night I had the Wheat & Rye Combo, which is corned beef and Pastrami, with Swiss cheese, a honey mustard sauce, served on grilled tomato basil bread. I can only ever eat half of this thing. And save the other half for lunch the next day. As I said earlier, the meats are just deli meats, but it's sliced thin and piled high. If you order it as a "deluxe" it's served with fries and cole slaw. My sandwich, deluxe, with a side of nacho cheese sauce for my fries and a coke was $16. Not bad for the equivalent of 2 meals. Lol. The service is not "restaurant" level, it is sports bar level. Service staff is friendly and helpful, but not necessarily at your beckoned call. Plenty of tvs to watch whatever you want to watch, and a full bar to satisfy your thirst cravings. I will be back again, and I do suggest this place if you are looking for some great sandwiches for a fair price. read more

Order a salmon Caesar salad. Others ordered burgers and fries. Burgers came out...at least 10 minutes later came the fries and my salad. Salmon was raw. I had to walk up to the bar to get the waitress attention At least 10 minutes later she brings another SALMON salad...raw I told her to just get me a burger to go DISAPPOINTED read more

The sandwiches... WOW. I got the reuben and had to decide between the second half of my sandwich or the beer, which has never happened before. They have a great beer selection of bottles and a descent draft options. Once again- the sandwiches are unbelievable. HUGE.!!! The skinny fries were undercooked and the Cajun fries were ok. The service is hit or miss. Today, we missed. It took 22 minutes to get our food order and 3 requests to close out. Last time it was much quicker, so be prepared for either. The sandwhich sizes makes up for the slower service and I will definitely be back. And if you want water, they only serve bottled water. They are good about telling you this if you do forget and try to order one. read more

The food was good but the service SUCKED. I asked for silverware and was delivered totally wet silverware from a servers hands. WTF I walked back to the kitchen to complain and get a fresh set of silverware and some bitch in a Jersey was more concerned with watching the Lions game then paying any attention to me. Not sure if she was a manager but she needs to be gone. Place was way too busy with little service. My personal sever was good but overworked. The kitchens condition seriously needs the Wayne County Health Department which is my next stop. I fly for and airline and trust me I will not recommend this place whatsoever until it's fixed. Sorry but facts are facts- read more

We are regular guests. Service and food have both been terrible. We have always enjoyed going in for a burger and beer but will find somewhere else. Monday night was the worse. Food was cold. Waitress forgot our appetizer. Never got refills on our drinks. Will not be going back for a while. read more

Ordered a patty melt and it was very good. Nice portion size cooked per my request. I had not had food from here in a very long time but it was good..I also like soul food Sundays the food is good and reasonably priced. read more

So, this is a restaurant that my brothers and I always go to when we are flying into Detroit for our annual fishing trip. We usually order pastrami or the ruben sandwich and it is awesome. You cannot fit your mouth around half a sandwich it is so big. Fries are seasoned well and coleslaw is very tasty. I didnt ask for water because we ordered beer. If you want good value and awesome sandwiches this is the place to go. read more

"We, as a nation, can never have socialized medicine when high calorie food is as cheap and plentiful as it is in America." If we had socialized healthcare, this place would have a hefty sin tax. The amount of food you get here for the dollar is insane. Yes, the portions are HUGE. Now don't get me wrong, it is very good pub grub. Just be sure what you order can be taken home in a doggy bag. Or if you are staying in a hotel, skip the appetizers which are enough to fill you up. Beer selection is excellent. Lots of mid west micros. Service very good despite how busy it can be. read more

If you're going to advertise polish night, please serve pierogis that are a little closer to homemade. I ordered the pierogi plate from the Thursday night specials and was served what was very clearly Mrs. T's frozen pierogis. It gave me a good laugh, but so disappointing when you're expecting something you can't buy at Kroger. However, the mashed potatoes were oddly good, albeit an odd side for potato and cheese pierogis. And if you like butter for your rolls, bring your own - they only had squeeze margarine. read more

I've heard about wheat and rye for many years has one of the best places to get sandwiches metro Detroit. I had to drop a friend off at the airport subside trade out for the first time. The portions are absolutely gigantic and the sandwich was actually pretty good. Our waitress was very attentive and the overall experience was pretty good with the exception of one thing. They do not give free drink refills for Pop. Did you know one 5 gallon box of pop syrup is $41 and one CO2 tank is $25. $66 yields 480 30oz pops and they couldn't afford refills. Really? Take 2oz of meat off of each sandwich to compensate the cost of free refills. Oh and they won't let you get tapwater either you have to buy a bottle of water!!!!! read more

I've been here 3 times over the last ten years and unfortunately all the great pictures and ratings about huge overstuffed sandwiches need the be pulled off this site as they no longer exist. I understand food costs, but the amount the sandwiches have shrunk takes away from the menu descriptions. Even my server commented about how 'lite' my sandwich appeared. Still a dive, local bar with overly loud music, but you can get these sandwiches anywhere now. read more

This place has one of the worst Long Island Ice Tea drinks I have ever tasted in my life and it cost $10.00 they must have the cheapest liquor in the world the itish was nasty a hell just as nasty as their bathroom this place is a hole in the ground not wall I guess the cheap grade of liquor goes right along with those low grade of meat sandwiches they sell read more

I honestly found it on yelp a long time ago and I absolutely love it it's a hole-in-the-wall spot. I'm a flight attendant, so always trying to find new local spots. I love a good Reuben and there's is pretty awesome I would recommend that you ask for it toasted, not sure why they charge you for toasting it but it's still worth it! I did the combo with fries and coleslaw for 3.50 more, which was also worth it. Two beers a Reuben fries and coleslaw, and enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow, for $20. read more

I was in Detroit for work and decided to give this place a shot and I'm glad I did. I'm from NYC and sandwiches like this can be had all over. It was nice to see it done well away from home. The restaurant itself has a great setting. Nothing fancy, just some tables chairs, a bar, pool tables and jukebox. Very casual and laid back. I was there alone so I ordered the ham and swiss which according the menu is what they were famous for($795). I sat the bar for no more than five minutes and food was ready. I can't comment on wait staff although the bartender that took my order was nice. I was handed my bag to go and I could feel the weight of this sandwich as I made my exit. I had to double check that there was not a small toddler inside. I return to my hotel room and unleash this behemoth of a sandwich and was in awe. Yes! A little bit of NY was here with me. For my personal tastes I would have liked the ham a little more thinly sliced. Not a knock against them just a personal preference. I would have also like a little more cheese with all that meat that was stacked into an onion roll which I thought wasn't as fresh as I would have thought. I know they are known as a hard roll but it was borderline almost stale. Again maybe that's how they're suppose to be. Sammich came with a nice crispy dill which is classic. Also, perhaps my own fault for getting it to go, packet mustard was a yellow vinegar that was called mustard. A nice spicey brown would have set that Virgina ham off. Oh well. All in all I would go back there in a second if my arteries could take it. If not for the food then maybe some drinks and a couple of games of pool. read more

Oh yeah - i'm a fan. (PICK-UP ONLY) Macho Nacho, Lo's Deli, and BLT are pretty nice large tasty dishes. I've never ate inside but my coworkers call in our orders all the time which usually take about 30 mins. Unfortunately I was too impressed with the cornbeef - alot of meat but it seemed a little dry (you might need to ask for more sauce). Prices are very reasonable! read more

An amazing sandwich joint that has weathered time nicely! I was last here in while traveling in 2007. Ordered a Rueben Sandwich back then. Today, Sandra and I ordered a Rueben Sandwich. Amazing - almost 3 1/2" thick with over a 1/2 pound of Corned Beef. We shared that delicious sandwich and 1/2 of it is coming home in a to go box. It's still a great place to eat with an awesome menu! read more

What a waste of time at this place...the waitress if you want to call her that Diana is either crazy or high as AF and was more concerned with hanging on her man at the bar and doing shots with him then correcting our bill or waiting on others. We told her twice that she had the bills wrong and she clearly could not comprehend....she got very angry with us as well another couple. read more

This place is loud and so is the food and drink. The food is big, really big, but the prices are not. The menu is crowded, but really famous for large portion sandwiches. Some menu items: a Turkey Ruben, Hot Pastrami, Philly Steak cheese, Corned Beef, Stacked Ham, Superbird, Wheat & Rye Combo - and the menu goes on and on. Plenty of beer on tap and bottle. Is something of a local hang, which is usually a good indicator of value and this place did not disappoint. Again, the portions are lumber jack large. You will need a doggy bag. For 2 adults to eat and drink 3 beers cost us $36.20 before tip. I won't recommend this place for families as it is very loud and the people sitting near us dropped the F bomb repeatedly. AC/DC was playing on the Juke Box - which I like. The place is just a great place to eat, though. It is a big square loud box with good food and drink near the Detroit Airport. I apologize for the poor quality of the photos. Does not do the food portions justice. read more

Bartender was rude, slow and appeared drunk. Went to watch a football game and they turned up the rap music so loud I just left.
