This is the ORIGINAL location. I've not been here in a long time, but the QUALITY and FRESHNESS of the food is just as I remember. Of course with inflation, a sandwich is between $15 and $30(for the POUND IT). The portion is overly generous and my corned beef was cooked to PERFECTION! Pickles come with any sandwich purchased. Service is very prompt and staff is very nice. The restaurant has an option to dine in and the booths are clean and comfortable. Reserved parking is also available right outside the front door and restaurant is barrier free. There's a reason they have consistently been rated BEST delicatessen! read more

We stopped in the Bread Basket, deli yesterday, Wed, May 27. My older brother recommended the place, and we were pretty hungry, so we stopped in for an early dinner. He was telling me the sandwiches are stacked 4 to 5 inches high. I didn't believe him, but when I saw them I became a believer. We ordered their club sandwich. I needed a ruler to measure how high the thing was it was stacked high with fresh lettuce, and tomato thing was stacked so high that I had to break it apart and I asked the Cook for an extra slice of bread. He brought it out right away didn't charge me anymore. If you're hungry, I mean really hungry, the bread basket deli is an awesome place to eat. The only reason why I give them 4 stars instead of 5 stars is I live in Seattle Washington and they don't have this restaurant out there. I sure hope to see him out there sometime soon, but if not, I will be back to visit. read more

Back home and in my old neighborhood so I thought why not try the restaurants I've grown up eating at. This location of Bread Basket is one of them. My best friend and I used to ride our bikes here to grab a corned beef on a Kaiser roll. Well, one thing I can say. I can no longer just recycle cans to pay for my sandwich. The prices have definitely increased, but I guess that's par for the course. I also didn't get a sandwich once I saw they had the egg rolls on the menu. Glad I did. While they weren't anything to necessarily write home about, they went very well with my salad for lunch. They were crunchy and the corned beef inside was quite tender, however the meat lacked flavor and I didn't care for it being served with sauce. Would love a bold mustard type sauce. Will ask if that's available next time. Gonna have to go back for the sandwich. Just to see if it brings me back to my teenage years. Service was quick and professional. No complaints. read more

Excellent pastrami sandwich, the sauerkraut is perfectly balanced and the portions are more than generous. Also a big fan of the matzo ball soup. Huge matzo and really great broth.

Finally tried this little Deli! It doesn't look like much from the outside, but the sandwiches are delicious and very filling. I got number 20, which is turkey, coleslaw and thousand Island dressing. My mom got corned beef with mustard. We both got the four oz size and they were more than enough. They both come with two different kinds of pickles. I'll definitely be back. It was a great lunch and the service was welcoming and kind. read more

The corn beef sandwich is really tiny. You get two bites from it. The french fries are excellent and the service is horrible and rude.

Corned beef sandwich was nice and warm. Great sandwiches. I wish they had the blintze's from when it was the original Bread Basket Deli there. read more

United Meat with kraut and thousan island dressing, toasted on an onion roll! This is the sandwich for me! My wife always gets the Reuben with coleslaw. Almost $50 for two sandwiches is steep, but you will be full of quite a while. This is our go to for corned beef and pastrami when we are home visiting family. read more

Gross. The brisket is dry and so is the bread. Overpriced for the lack of quality and proportions of food. I would never order from them again. read more

Love love love this place! I've been coming here since the late 1990's and I moved away and every time I'm back in Michigan I always have to go here! I always get The United (which consist of corned beef, pastrami, on toasted marbled rye bread with Swiss cheese, thousand island dressing, and Cole slaw! Soo good oh and don't forget the kosher pickle. The service has always been the same great, welcoming and speedy. I love this place because it brings back fond memories of me and my BFF going here after classes at The University of Detroit Mercy! It's a quaint little delicatessen with the warmth of being at home! So whenever you're in Detroit make sure you stop by The Bread Basket and order The United and tell 'em Nicole sent cha! read more

What a difference a few weeks make I had the pastrami on rye as in my previous review a big mistake this time The pastrami I had on 05/08 /24 was straight-up dry cardboard each slice of meat I guess that's what it was dry as you know what could not eat it the texture of the meat was not normal this dog mess was TRASH. So my Dog ate the mess and by the way, he gives his thanks to all of the people involved in sending the mess out like this he enjoyed the mess. looking at the pictures you would think that it was fresh Buy at your own RISK will never return these places have fell completely off read more

Stopped at "The Original" Bread Basket Deli (as opposed to "the Bread Basket Deli chain restaurants," according to their web site) recently for the first time in a number of years. The place has gone through some dramatic changes, most (sorry to say) not for the better. Back in the day, Bread Basket was a popular, busy spot with ample table seating and wait staff. Now, it has gone down to a small number of tables, and no wait staff. Instead, orders are placed with a very friendly employee behind a plexiglass wall. Instead of excellent dill pickles and condiments brought to the table, you will need to ask for any condiment (such as mustard) that you require, and a meager, not great, pickle slice accompanies the meal. Prices have shot up through the roof: a 4 oz. (small) pastrami sandwich, which I ordered, will set you back $12.79. If you want it lean, add another $1.50 (not really needed - mine was lean enough). Onion or Kaiser rolls are also available - for an extra 75 cents. I ordered a side of cole slaw, and that cost $3 for a half pint, $2.25 for a "mini (not sure which one we got, but it was a decently-sized portion)" - quite tasty. No argument about the taste of the food: the pastrami was decent quality and an adequate size. The co-diner got the corned beef, and was satisfied with the taste. Overall, alas, the atmosphere was sufficiently oppressive (and depressing) that the dining experience was greatly diminished. Not only has the ambiance deteriorated, the menu has added a "you buy - we fry" section, featuring such items as egg rolls, wing dings, and chicken strips (not exactly standard deli fare), sold in various quantities, with an extra charge (ranging from $1 to $4) for frying. Frankly, it would be better if the "frying" charge were just incorporated into the overall price. I am quite sure that anyone stopping in to pick up a meal would not expect to take their chicken strips home and deep-fry them themselves. The menu had boxes prominently proclaiming that the establishment accepts EBT in so many places as to be impossible to ignore. Once would probably have been enough. Someone forced to rely on public assistance for their food may wish to consider whether a $17.99 sandwich was a wise allocation of their resources. In sum, the 2 star rating for this restaurant may be mostly due to a combination of nostalgia, sympathy for the very nice staff, and less due to actual merit. Still, this Yelper can only wish the management and staff well. read more

excellent food and very welcoming people who run the restaurant I'm a monthly regular and hope to have many more #22 lean from your place. highly recommend this place you will be delighted and full the sandwich's are HUGE read more

Best prices in town and customer service is on point. Sam always goes above and beyond. I've been using Ace Tire for over 10 years.

Love this place! The sandwiches are not just a large portion, but they are delicious too! The services is great. Very nice staff. Interior is simple. For a quick and tasty bite I'd come here. If you like corn beef and Swiss then their egg rolls are a must try! They're so flavorful- one goes a long way. Especially if you get the Mac and cheese bites. Dip those in some ranch and you're good to go! I get the Turkey Reuben with coleslaw and thousand island cuz u can never go wrong with that there. It's just the perfect bite and if u don't eat much then you'll have plenty of food for later. Zero complaints. Keep up the good work BBD read more

The Bread Basket has run it's course! It's not the same and definitely too expensive for what you get. We ordered 3 sandwiches and an order of fries for the great big total of $61.00! That is egregious!!!!! Especially for carry out and the store is very ill kept. When I pulled up, I couldn't believe how rundown the entire strip mall looks. We went through with picking up our order (placed by my husband, not me) because the sandwiches were already made. NEVER AGAIN!!!!! The sandwiches were just okay! Not like they used to be! We were very disappointed!!!!!!! read more

This place is a legend. This is The original Bread Basket Deli- A visit there recently did not disappoint as far as food. The corned be byef was good and the bread was delicious. I dined-in. I find when food is packed to go the temperature of the food when wrapped, may cause steam to form which makes mushy Sammy's and soggy fries. Most food wrapped to- go (except soup) loses something. YOU MUST ORDER when you walk in. (There are lots of booths but no wait staff.) The menu is enormous and you can't stand there too long reading it because there's not much standing room near register. The deli looks exactly as it did in the '90s, NOTHING remodeled. The ambience of this classic 'Jewish deli' is gone. Wasted. The waitresses were sassy but efficient. The diners, most of them regulars, were part of the charm . Everyone knew everyone---it seemed--and people put up with the sass and the long wait. Why?.... because: THE FOOD. This deli menu is perfect and LARGE. Knish? Knaidelacht? Sure. Smoked fish? Of course. I know: Things change, blah yada blah. But this restaurant hasn't. If you're going to be a carry-out establishment, , then update!! If not? Bring back table service. WORD OF CAUTION: IF YOU DINE IN: THERE IS A SHEEN OF GREASE ON THE FLOOR (probably from the 90's)THAT IS VERY SLIPPERY. this may make it dangerous, but also makes it easy to moonwalk) read more

I love this deli. I have been coming here for years. My favorite sandwich to get from here is the Dinty Moore. So delicious. read more

Extremely Rude and Arrogant, Horrible First Impression!!! Just (10/15/21 at 12:40pm) called to place a carry out order and the woman who answered the phone was very unprofessional. I started giving my order which consisted of 2 Eggrolls and a Roast Beef Brisket Sandwich. I asked if they came with a Side to which she said no. I asked if i could add a side of the mashed potatoes and was told they weren't serving them this week. I then asked if i could have a side of Fries instead. The woman asked what did i want on my sandwich, i stated whatever comes on it normally. She then raised her voice and said 'I need you to tell me what you want, we have a ton of options' ..... ok. I then asked what were the options and she told me to check their menu online. I explained that i have never ordered from here before and that i was looking at the menu while on the phone with her but i did not see any topping options besides Lettuce to be added to the Sandwiches. She stated 'then thats all we have' After that response i cancelled my order as i did not want any 'special sauce' added to my meal. I will never order from here again and neither will my Friends. Thanks for a horrible experience *Please note that i have never ordered from this restaurant before, decided to give this place a try based on a recommendation from a Friend * read more

Finally a place that serves some great corned beef sandwiches. A good deli is very hard to find nowadays. I was very satisfied with my experience here. I will definitely be back to try other items on the menu. Thank you. read more

Carryout for 2 sandwiches and 5 (5 for $15) corned beef & swiss egg rolls was $54.04 I was astonished! No longer have dine-in option either. Food was decent but we won't return at that price point. read more

The actual sandwich was properly prepared, toasted and cheesy- but the meat was very dry and rubbery. The star of a corned beef sandwich is supposed to be the meat. The meat of this sandwich was a disgrace to the definition. I called to discuss my experience with management.... Let's just say that there was no interest in retaining a customer. read more

I'm very biased when it comes to deli as my family runs one in the Detroit area but I also love comparing and the bread basket is very similar in flavor. The location is not the greatest and you definitely do not come here for the ambience, it's a bit of a hole in the wall. But the food is good! I ordered a regular(4 ounces of meat) corned beef and turkey grilled sandwich on rye with cole slaw, sauerkraut, Swiss and Russian dressing. The meat was lean but tender. There's nothing like a grilled Rueben! And the regular size is more than enough!! Unless you have an extra larger appetite- then they have the large which is 9 ounces of meat. The pickles are also delicious- nice and crunchy! I have to admit the fries were mediocre, frozen for sure. I like mine fresh cut with a bit of a crunch on the outside. I'd say maybe skip the fries and get some chips. Then I washed it down with a can of Detroit made Vernors. They also have Dr. Browns soda which is always a nice treat. Enjoyed this deli experience and would order take-out again if I'm ever in the area. read more
