The workers were super nice (I assume one was the owner) and very funny. The sandwiches are made fresh to order and a great value. My turkey provolone sandwich was only about $7 and I added lots of veggies and a few condiments. It was delicious--definitely stop by for a quick and filling bite! There is also seating inside. read more

I've never had a bad experience here personally, even when it was very busy. The food is always good and it's not super pricey. Easily my favorite regular lunch spot near Wayne state read more

Exceptionally friendly service! Very welcoming employees. Got the spicy Italian, highly recommend. Will be back. read more

Blimpie - Spicy Italian - Sandwiches Near Me - DETROIT, Michigan

Blimpie has the best value sandwiches in the Midtown area, far surpassing Jimmy John's and Subway (and possibly beating out Jersey Mike's, which isn't in Detroit). They are the only value sandwich spot in the area that has Prosciutto as a meat option (I'm not counting Rocco's as a value spot, as I find them to be good, but expensive). Their capacolla is deli quality and I'm just impressed with their meat quality. To get your sandwich double stacked is like 2.00, which is awesome. Their owner and employees are awesome people and go above and beyond with their service. It is a very inviting dine in experience, with tons of students and folks from the area commiserating (nobody busses your table or anything as it's a take out spot). read more

The food is fresh and the customer service is A-1. The lunch boxes are our go to for group orders. The adults and students, love Blimpie's.

Blimpie!! Been coming here for nearly 20-years! Proud WSU Alum and this place really hits close to home as I used to go here all of the time as a student and now a grad. Nick S is the Man! Real at home, down to earth service. Real WSU ambiance and pride! The food is nostalgic for me and only wish other sub shops had a tenth of their TLC! Looking forward to coming back and utilize more of the rewards program! read more

Still the best ever Blimpie's ever! Full stop. Fresh bread and ingredients. Always a fast and friendly service. Kind of missing the sliced onions read more

Love stopping at Blimpies when near campus. Mikes always joking around and foods always on point! The owner and his family are always on top of their games when it comes to making your food. Can never go wrong with a Buffalo chicken sub from here. The jalapeño cheddar bread with extra peppers adds the best kick. read more

The volume of 5 star reviews astounded me, I had to try this Blimpie. The man who handed me my sub called me "Slick Nick" and earned 5 stars right there. The sandwich was amazing, grilled to perfection and matched my abnormal requests perfectly. But honestly it would've needed to be a pretty bad sandwich to lose any stars with how much the workers inside made me smile. I get it now. I can't wait to come back for lunch again soon. read more

You wanna talk food? You wanna talk about the art of the sandwich? If you understand the anatomy of a sandwich then you know that one of the most important parts is the person making it. Blimpie is simply sandwiches. They excel in flavor creation and ingenious menu choices but where they shine, is service. It feels like home, thanks Blimpie. read more

Wayyy better then i expected when i first seen the place. My sub reminded me of a better version of subway. They have customizable options and the service was very friendly. The price was great for a small sub and the size was more than expected. Would definitely return read more

EXCELLENT service, delicious sandwiches, what more can you want? Definitely a must have in Detroit, true staple of the community

Amazing couple owns it. So friendly and amazing food. It's the perfect local shop- they remember you and your order, are wonderfully sociable and happy, I LOVE coming in here. read more

Literally the best sandwich shop I've ever been too. The 2 men who run it have excellent people skills & always greet me when I walk in. I always order the same thing and they've had my order memorized since the 2nd time I ordered it. Business is always booming over there & the line moves really quick. Very efficient. Sandwiches/wraps are phenomenal. Cat approved too read more

Blimpie - Buffalo Chicken Wrap - Sandwiches Near Me - DETROIT, Michigan

You know it's good when you come back even though you transferred to a school 45 minutes away. Been coming here for years now, especially when I was on campus.The food is great and so is the owner Nick. Never had a complaint in regards to customer service or the food. The veggies are always fresh and the food is always hot. It's just like a subway, except it's not, it's better. I remember when I started as a freshman & everyone was always talking about this place & I had no idea what it was. Boy was I missing out. Now I see, it is apart of the Wayne State Experience. You're not a WSU warrior 'till you've blimpiedd. *the smoothies and cookies are tasty* read more

Classic WSU sandwich shop. I graduated years ago and try to stop by when Im around. Great food and service.

If you don't know, now you know so go check this place out and try ANY sub combination and you will love it! More affordable than most places on campus and you can not beat the service and food quality at this place. STRAIGHT CLASSIC! read more

10/10 Best sub I've ever had, every time I go I get multiple subs Great Staff, Nick is the best! read more

This place is absolutely phenomenal, the food is fresh, The bread is nice, and the atmosphere is great. I wish I could say that coming here for the food alone was the only reason that brought me in the door. The service when I walk in is absolutely phenomenal. They remember my name and my order, this goes a long way!! The owner is super friendly and his staff even better! The tables are always clean and they take great pride in making this place nice! I recommend this place over all other sub places in the area! -conner read more

Delicious subs- owner is really nice. Love that they offer a halal menu on the side! Definitely get the breaded chicken on the zesty Parmesan bread. They do this amazing thing in Whig they grill the bread and turn it inside out so it's crunchy on top. You will not be disappointed. Ask the owner what tastes good and he'll whip up something amazing. read more

very good food, good customer service, never been super busy, and good prices. pretty much what subway should be.

A wonderful surprise in the midst of Midtown and the Wayne State campus. As other reviewers have noted, the owner, Nick, immediately personalizes your experience with a cheerful smile and quickly, amazingly remembers you the next time you come in! Maintains a considerably above average level of freshness in its sandwich and cookie offerings. The sandwiches are made to order with a smile, and the cookies almost melt in your hands! A small seating area often gets busy at midday, but moves itself along. I'd like to try more of the menu, but I've been super - satisfied with my initial selection of wrap sandwiches. Will definitely continue to come here as time goes on. read more

best blimpie ever, unbeatable staff and service, the food is also ways consistently good!!

Nothing but good things to say about this place! Ive been coming here for years and will continue to do so. I've always had the best customer service ever here and feel so appreciated as a customer. The sandwiches are amazing and the location is nice. Please go support them, they deserve it! read more

Not only do they have great subs/sandwiches but the customer service is always on point‼

Came back to blimpie's for the first time in years since the ones near me closed down, and I'm really happy to come back for the first time since I was a kid. Makes it better that it's close to campus as well. read more

A WSU campus classic, Blimpies never fails to leave you happy. The employees are always happy to see you, and the food is A1. My go to is the roast beef, but the fan favorite buffalo chicken is always a 10/10 as well. read more

I am a Blimpies Wolf! There used to be a ton. Now there's like 2, one here and one in Dearborn. Soooooo much better than Subway. The Blimpie's Best is my go to. They did it up right when I went. I love the thin cheese slices that don't overpower my sandwich but still provide me the right amount of flavor. You can taste the freshness of the meats in every bite. Perfect ratio of meat and veggie. The kicker here is the oil, vinegar, and herb sprinkle mix. So refreshing. I'll be back and also be hoping more Blimpies open up soon again. As far as taste is a concern, they really molest the competition. (sorry about the bad Jared joke there) Truth be told - clean restaurant, beyond fair prices. Nice staff. If you haven't tried a Blimpie I demand that you do so now. A-1 read more

Forget subway or that the other submarine sandwich selling place on campus. THIS is the spot. I can honestly say that every time I came here during undergraduate, I have been pleased. Great customer service (genuine), great food, great prices. Steak and cheese is my usual go to with the zesty bread. Make sure to add their chipotle steak sauce cause that is some goood ish right there. Oh yeah and the hot ravioli was also my go to-especially in the winter! Though I wish the restaurant was even closer to campus preferably near the student center. Can subway switch? PLEASE. TIP: There's some free parking spots designated for Blimpie's customers. read more

Oh man you eat here you will forget subway or any other sandwich place that serve subs/sandwiches. I have tried the chicken and turkey subs and they are mouth watering delicious Since it was my first time the owner offered me a sampler of the fresh made smoothie. Both the gesture and smoothie were good. Will definitely recommend this place and I will be back for sure too read more

Keep it short and sweet, if you are on campus don't waste your money at jimmy johns or subway blimpies is better for a cheaper price! And the service is great read more

One of my favorites spots to go for subs on campus! Delicious subs I've converted all my friends to this Blimpies instead of Subway! These subs are made with love! Owner is one of the friendliest guys I've met! My recommendation- What I always order Halal Turkey Bacon on Garlic Parmesan with Lettuce, tomatoes,black olives, pickles, black pepper WITH RANCH AND CHIPOTLE! But is alittle pricey. read more

I would eat here every day if my wallet allowed it. I hate eating pretty much anywhere else on campus. The owner, Nick, is awesome. I mean, you walk in, and he's right there, making sandwiches and helping out his staff. He's always in a great mood, remembers everyone, and keeps the line moving. They have a few new people working there currently and he's all about keeping them up to speed, in the nicest way possible. Their subs are great, you'll never wait more than 5 minutes, and there are always fresh cookies. I personally love the Sicilian on ciabatta...so, so good. For that + a meal (a side of chips and a medium pop), it usually runs me close to $8. Not bad at all! read more

This place has been around forever and consistently has been the healthiest, tastiest, good feeling, great value, coolest staff and owner. Highly recommend. read more

I wish more than anything that Blimpie wasn't basically a thing of the past. I am so thankful this last remaining oasis of sandwich goodness exists in the heart of Wayne State. The sandwiches themselves are so much better than subway or any of those other run of the mill places. Try the sweet peppers! The jalapeno bread is great too. On this place particularily: the owner is really nice and doesnt mind when I ask for more and more and more peppers. Which sometimes people get mad he just laughs. I really hope this place lasts for a great time longer. Try it, youll like it. read more

Hands down the BEST meatball sub in Detroit. This small shop is becoming one of my favorite spots in midtown to pop in and grab a bite. The owner is super cool and a genuinely nice guy. Overall a great experience. read more

I love love love this place!!! The food is fantastic and the family who runs it is full of super sweet people who care about their customers. I've never had a bad experience. :) I always buy a ham and swiss on pretzel bread with a tomato ravioli soup. Yum. Enjoy! read more
