When you walk in it looks empty and like theres nobody there, but theres always people working! Ive had subs from here, fries, onion rings and breakfast sandwiches and theyve all been DELICIOUS ive never had anything bad from here. In fact, i would say there fries are the best ive ever had, ever. They are perfectly cooked in a beer batter! Basic dinner/coney island feel but the owner makes you feel welcome almost like your at a friends house. Hidden gem on haggerty read more

Charley's Deli and Grille - Fries - Delis Near Me - Northville, Michigan

Picked up some take out here and had a pretty positive experience overall This place is located in a very unassuming corner of the plaza. You'd really have to be looking for it to know it was there. Inside, there was plenty of space for seating, though it looked a little slower at noon on a weekday. I was able to pick up my meal without a problem, and the service was friendly and fast. The Reuben was good. Nothing that blows you away or I consider special, but a solid reuben. The french fries though! That was the surprise. The french fries were perfectly fried, perfectly crunchy, and perfectly soft inside. Honestly, you could come here just for the french fries and it wouldn't have been a wasted trip. This is a pleasant small business that's worth your attention. I'd be curious to come back here for breakfast or try something else on their menu. read more

I've been going to Charlie's for about 25 years now. The food has always been amazing for a quick bite at a local spot. They really do right by breakfast and lunch. The owner and his sons are always there working, it's a great atmosphere to be around. Don't sleep on the fatoush and hummus! read more

I stopped in about 930 am on Friday. It's in a semi crowded strip mall. The menu is posted on sign boards behind a large counter area. Everything looked clean, and there were several locals/regulars sitting and talking. The order taker was busy talking with some of her regulars, but was able to talk to me a little bit about the process. I was going to place an order but one of the managers/owners wanted to talk to her about credit card things. After a while I realized they were going to continue to ignore me so I left. Strongly advise against going here unless you're a regular read more

Charley's Deli and Grille - Waitress and manager arguing about credit card and ignoring me as I try to place an order - Delis Near Me - Northville, Michigan

You should leave the order at the counter. Your number is called and you go to pick up your own food. Eating utensils were plastic and food is overpriced; my wife's order was incorrect, but once corrected and received, I must admit it was delicious. If you want to wait on food, have a thick wallet, and serve yourself, then this is your place. We will not return. read more

Very good food and reasonable prices! Definitely will return. I've been here twice now in a week. I would recommend trying this place to anyone. read more

It was really good. It was more than I expected. The style of e and clean atmosphere. People were speaking softly. Kind atmospheric.

Charley was really crabby over the grill today. The old guy asked for help as me and 4 other customers entered at the same time. Charley yelled at the old guy "I don't care that you need help" (at least that is what I heard). Charley proceeded to be verbally angry with everything/everyone that was going on by the grill. This is not the same place I remember some 15 years ago. I hope the sandwich is still as good it as always was. read more

The food is good however...the last 2 times I picked up a carry out order I was forced to endure a political rant initiated out of the blue by the guy ringing me up. I suppose if it aligns with your opinion it wouldn't bother you but there are too many other places that have the same fare without the drama. I will not ever go back it was that nuts! read more

Great fish and chips!! Beer battered fish and beer battered steak fries. One recommendation order ahead during fish fry Friday's to make sure he does not run out! Charley seems to be there all the time! read more

I was fortunate enough to meet one of the sons of the owners. We became friends and he always talked about his family restaurant. I always wanted to try it and got to try it today. I went with the son and he said my food was in the house, which was very kind. The atmosphere is a nice family-owned and run deli/grille. I ordered the Philly Cheesesteak with fries. It took no time to come out and it was hot and fresh. The meat was good, the veggies were fresh, and the fries were hot and crispy. One of the best sandwiches I've had. If you are ever in the area you have to check it out. read more

Charley's Deli and Grille is a neat little family run Deli in Northville that makes all of their food from scratch. The rice pudding was very good. My favorite!!!Unfortunately we started eating before I remembered to take pix of the food. The Greek salad with chicken was very fresh and flavorful. The pancake with sausage was tasty. The pancakes were cake like. The chicken kabob plate was a serving for 2. The chicken was marinated and cooked tender. The staff was very friendly and giving. We loved the restaurant and will be back again. read more

Possibly the best Reuben I've ever had. Meat is sliced really thin and Grilled Reubenvery flavorful. Rye was just right with Sauerkraut, cheese, and thousand island. Friendly service with a steady but not overly busy local crowd. read more

Very good deli food and the people working were great. I would stop back in anytime I'm hungry and in the area.

A little hidden gem with great food and a great little patio. The staff is courteous, polite and well mannered. We'll be back soon! read more

Stopped by Charley's tonight for dinner after stumbling on it waiting for the next showing of the Smurfs 2 down the street... Walking in the door, I wasn't sure what we were supposed to do, order at the counter or sit down and wait. Therefore, we walked up to the counter. I asked the waitress behind the counter if we sit and order or come to the counter and all she replied was, "Whatever."?!?!?!? That threw me for a loop, so we ended up ordering at the counter, to which opened up another issue - to tip or not to tip?!?!? I was paying on Debit, so had to pay then and added a tip. Although I was already confused by the entire principle of this place. LOL My wife ordered the White Chicken Chili and Pasta Salad side. I ordered the breakfast special, cause I read that it was good... My grandson had the dino chicken tenders and fries. My wife and grandson had pop, so got the cups at the counter and filled them up themselves. I ordered a coffee, and waited and waited.... Finally the waitress came to our table with the food, well my wife and grandson's anyway, to which I asked about the coffee - she looked at me, and replied, "Oh yeah, I forgot, sorry." Needless to say, being we were the only people in the place at the time, besides the owner and other wait staff and cooks, I was a bit surprised. Well she went and got it, brought it out and walked away. I tried it and it was just a tad warmer than room temp?!?!?!?!?!?!? YUCK! Well, she finally brought my b-fast special and from the looks of it, see pic, it didn't really look that good... The egg yolks were broke, the bacon was petrified, the hash browns tasted like left overs from breakfast and the toast was un-buttered! WTH?!?!?! I guess I can see why this place was so dead at 6:00pm on a Monday night!! I choked it down as we were going to take my grandson down the street to see Smurfs 2, but I was already turning blue from this experience alone... :( My wife thought the chili was ok, and my grandson ate all of his plate, so my review came up from 1 star to 2... Then getting ready to leave, I thought that we left our plates at the table, but seen a sign on top of garbage can as to where to leave the silverware, etc... So, I went back to my table and took care of our mess... Like I stated, this place is confusing. From the mediocre wait staff, the cook the killed a b-fast special and lukewarm coffee, this place needs an awakening... I'm still not sure what to think of it... I believe I'm the only review this year so far, so maybe that could be why, as the place has a lot of decent reviews. I just didn't witness all the hype... read more

Charley's Deli and Grille - B-fast special. - Delis Near Me - Northville, Michigan

I worked here when I was younger, and I can tell ya it haven't changed much. Which is a good thing. The subs, pitas, wraps, and main meals are excellent. The reuben's though...girlllll. Best around. Have it along with some tart crispy fries and finish it up with a razzle dessert and you're off!! If you're around, stop in for a long selection of great yummy food. read more

I am over the moon about their breakfasts. Their crispy-edged strawberry pancakes are so delish, I never think about syrup. The breakfast sandwich is on grilled wheat bread with a delicious white cheese and sliced sausage links for that remind me of my own home-cooked breakfasts. Their smoothies are perfect, just the right consistency and flavor - I had the strawberry banana and honey smoothie. I used to go here all the time when I lived in the neighborhood, but this was the first time in years that I've returned. It's good to know that Charley, the owner who introduces himself to his customers, has kept up his standards. I am struggling to think of something to be critical about, and coming up empty. read more

Charley's Deli and Grille - Strawberry pancakes, breakfast sandwich, and a smoothie! - Delis Near Me - Northville, Michigan

My go to lunch spot for sandwiches! I stumbled upon this place looking for a philly cheese steak, but little did I know they serve corned beef sandwiches! Both sandwiches are delicious but I always order the corned beef with cheese sandwich. Prices are fair. The owner and cashier are all very nice. Service is quick and they always make you feel welcomed. Let's just say they made a very nice gesture one day when I forgot my wallet and I will forever be a grateful customer. It's the little things that make you stand out from the rest. The deli is hidden behind the CVS. Private parking lot. read more

Charley's Deli and Grille - Corned beef with cheese sandwich - Delis Near Me - Northville, Michigan

Absolutely ridiculous and I will not return. No mask for the guy handling everyone's food. That's bad enough but when he had the audacity to make fun of a guy who left because of his careless attitude, I told him that I'm NEVER coming back. read more

Quality of the food and service are still there. Lowering a star because the decor is so very dated. It hasn't changed since I moved almost 20 years ago but in worse condition than the last time I was here. Booth seats are broken. Chairs in dire shape. Broken blinds. It just looks sad and unwelcoming. But like I said, high quality food and service remain unchanged. read more

Charley's is the absolute best! Great for a quick bite to eat. I've never left disappointed. You MUST try the corned beef. Their pancakes are also the best I've ever had! read more

A really neat place to eat. It's not much to look at, but the food and service are top notch. I got the steak and cheese sub, and it was delicious. My wife got the Reuben, and she really enjoyed it. The kids enjoyed what they had, too. The pita omelets looked crazy big, I might get one if we're ever on this side of town again. read more

Really great corn beef hash and eggs. Excellent service from a very warm and friendly staff. We'll definitely be back! read more

I was excited to try this place because of the good reviews, but I was really let down. The worst chicken noodle soup I've ever had. Upon first glance, the vegetables didn't look right- like they were freezer burned at some point or something. I decided to give it a try anyways but the vegetables weren't even the worst part. This tasted like someone took chicken broth and added cinnamon to it, and spoiler alert, that's a revolting combination. The soup was completely inedible unfortunately. It's too bad, I wanted to like this place, but I don't think I'll be returning. read more

I really enjoyed our food at Charley's. They have something for every one. I ordered the cheesesteak and it was really good. The meat was tender and done perfectly. I've had some horrible cheesesteaks and always nervous to order somewhere without trying someone's. But the cheesesteak at Charley's was excellent! My daughter ordered the chicken strips and fries. I sampled someone of her chicken and it was pretty good. The prices were very reasonable. There is a lot of indoor and even patio seating( in nicer weather). read more

Great pastrami sandwich with some cookies and smoothie. yeah thatll do the trick! keep it up! read more

Three of us ate here for the first time today and were sorry that we didn't visit sooner. First things first, the service was outstanding! Friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. My companions had burgers which they said were delicious. I had the Tomato Spinach Orzo soup, which was pretty filling on its own. But I also ordered the chicken salad pita and I'm glad I did. One of the best chicken salads I have had in a restaurant. They have a very big menu! So many things we wanted to try. We'll definitely be back. read more

I stopped in here as my colleagues raved about their breakfast. I love breakfast, so I ordered eggs and pancakes. They were pretty bland and not so remarkable. I have to tell you that I love pancakes and these were a no go for me. Next time, I'll pass on this little spot. read more

The owner just insulted me on yelp and says he remembers me. Literally the only two people in the place were the gal at the register and the cook. read more

Stopped in last Saturday morning for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a egg white pita farmers omelette I believe and it was great!! The owner was at the front taking our order and was just so kind and helped out with suggestions!! I would highly recommended this place (: read more

I love Charlie's!!! The atmosphere is so natural. Grouchy teens working as cashiers. food always fresh everything's out dated what's not to like. I would recommend the pita omelette they are so good! The outward appearance doesn't look as good as the food but it taste great & great prices. I actually love the juice! Apple & carrot is my favorite. This is my go to when I don't know what to do for breakfast / lunch on a lazy weekend! Thanks Charlie.. read more

We have been "family members" for a very long time at Charley's Deli and Grille! We've "adopted " them and they've "adopted" us!! My daughter used to be a Scottish Highland Dancer and the owners wife is from Scotland and we got to know them that way at first. But we used to meet friends there on Saturdays and have the great pancakes (really THE BEST EVER!! soft on the inside and CRUNCHY on the outside!!! YUM).. and then my daughter and I went every Friday as tradition and my hubby and I still go sometimes in between!! ha ha! Now that my daughter is working full time and graduated from college I still go there alone and feel very comfortable doing so..I take a magazine and I get my pancakes and hash browns (the best ever too...crunchy!!) just as always!!! The owners sons and grandson and wife all know us now too and its very comfortable to go there and the food is great and not expensive!! read more

I've been a customer here for the past 15 years. Unfortunately we don't go as frequently as we used to because service and quality of food has gone down hill, since the father had stepped back. The father ran a tight ship. He knew ( and still does when he's there) how to connect with the customers. He made you feel like you were his priority and serving a great product was his mission.... Simple hello w/smile, small talk, humor, checking in with you when you ate, occasionally bringing special lil treats from the back.. And always thank you for coming. Not so for the young, disinterested man who now runs the place. He's usually planted at a table, flipping channels, reading a paper and rarely interacts with anyone. In our last handful of visits the service has been subpar to what charley delivered.. Slow, disinterested...orders incorrect..delayed... Onion rings, chicken strips fried in old oil and burnt... When brought to the waitresses attn. she tried to resolve it ( young man running the place, just sat there flipping the channels on the tv) but guy in kitchen told her it's just the way they are frying up and there's nothing they can do about it...too many negatives over the past few visits.. read more

I've been frequenting Charley's Grille for over 10 years now yet somehow I never managed to fall in love with the place. I think it's the atmosphere - there really is none! The place is a dependable stop in a busy area (6 Mile and Haggerty), and well known for its quality sub sandwiches. Call me boring but I've long ordered their ham & cheese sub, and it rates among the best I've ever tasted. The location is definitely tucked away, near a CVS and next to a now-defunct Mammoth Video (remember that chain?). When I first heard about the place it was from my dad, who heard about it from co-workers who stopped in during their lunch hour. It's that kind of place: good for a break from work because even when it gets crowded there's ample seating and the food is always fresh from the grill. Charley's is a family run business, which I can appreciate, but unless you come in during a busy hour you're gonna find one of the owner's sons lounging about and taking up the table that's closest to the TV, watching Fox News or MSNBC when he isn't scoping out the ladies who come in the store or trying to flirt with the ones that already work there. Yeah, that doesn't really instill me with confidence that these guys have a strong work ethic or care what customers think of them. In fact, it kind of gives me the skeevies - and that's probably why I don't stop in here more often. Maybe you're saying "Hey man! I watch Fox News and like to flirt with the girls at my work too!"...well, then it probably won't bother you. Either way, if you're in the Livonia area and you're hankering for a fresh grilled sub sandwich, don't settle for Subway or Quizno's even though they're on every corner. Charley's is where it's at for subs. read more

This is my second time here, and if I had done the review last month, it would have been a 4. After this visit though, my overall rating is a 3.5. On my first visit an older gentlemen who I believe is the owner assisted me. He was very friendly and talkative while ringing up the order and waiting on it. I had the fish and chips which is only available on Friday. It was delicious and the three pieces were huge. There is also something green that's in the batter. Maybe herbs and seasoning (see pics). I enjoyed it so much that I planned to come back soon. My second visit was about a month later. We had the fish and chips again and immediately noticed that the fish was smaller and the fries that come with it were a skimpy portion. They still tasted good, but I was expecting more. Also, the cole slaw has been warm both times. I wanted a milkshake, but they were out of ice cream so we had a slice of cake from the open refrigerator area. Now there aren't any prices on any of the food in that area. Imagine my shock when we were charged $4.30 for a single slice of German chocolate cake. Wow. It's not a huge chunk of cake, and it was just ok. Bland and not very much of a chocolate taste. I may return to try something else but I will not drive out of my way specifically for Charley's again. read more

I used to come here when I was in high school and recently rediscovered the place as I was driving around in the area. Three words: Philly Steak and Cheese...steak, provolone, grilled onions and peppers, lettuce, tomato, mild peppers, and their special Charley's sauce! The bite where you get all the ingredients in your mouth is amazing!! The bread is really good and when you get the bite with the melty cheese and just a little bit of the meat it will send you over the moon! I also had a cup of chili which is a pretty large portion and a side of fries. The fries are really crispy and they're kinda textured on the outside. Soo good! read more

You come to Charley's Deli & Grille for the FOOD, not for the atmosphere. It is clean, the help is friendly and it is fast. If you like you can get a nice table outside if the Michigan weather cooperates :D THE BEST REUBEN sandwiches on grilled rye in this far west end of town. Great breakfast served any time. Fabulous fresh Mediterranian foods too and other fabulous pita wrap sandwiches. It's all fresh and they have ice cream and fancy coffees too that are excellent. Worth stopping by weekly. We are regulars. read more
