I ordered the Italiano - Genoa salami, fire roasted ham, pistachio mortadella, capicola, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, on fresh focaccia bread. I liked how the sandwiches are not too thin and not too absurdly large. It's great value and just enough food to keep you over until dinner time. Highly recommend this place and would definitely revisit in the future to try the other sandwich options. That's all

Portillo's has made it across the lake to us here in Michigan. It first opened in Sterling Heights…read moreand this Livonia location is their fast follow. Upon rolling up to the massive building, it dawned on me that it was my first time. I have had Chicago dogs and Italian beef just not from Portillo's! The overall vibe is surprisingly more restaurant-like than I expected - like the interior of a Yard House vs. the interior of a Carl's Jr/Hardee's. I was definitely expecting more fast-food-vibes! You do order at the digital kiosk for pick up but otherwise, it's very clean and spacious. Lots of large tables as well (there were a fair amount of large groups!). We had the: *Jumbo Hot Dog (with everything) - so the Chicago dog (Everything includes mustard, relish, celery salt, freshly chopped onions, sliced red ripe tomatoes, kosher pickle, and sport peppers piled onto a steamed poppy seed bun.) - Sorry I still think coneys are better BUT there was a nice snap to the dog and all the toppings were really fresh! *Italian Beef Sandwich ( Our famous, homemade, Italian beef is slow-roasted for four hours, thinly sliced, and served on freshly baked Turano French bread.) - we got this with both sweet & spicy peppers as well as with standard gravy. Their gravy is honestly more "au jus" like than like the gravy you'd have with pasties or at Thanksgiving dinner. Good flavors and again seemed really fresh! *THE CAKE SHAKE (Have you heard of our famous "cake shake?" Yes, we actually put a slice of chocolate cake into our blended milkshakes, making a truly unique, must-try dessert.) - While I haven't had the cake itself, I can imagine what it tastes like on its own - almost devil's food-cake esque as it's like chocolate on chocolate. My friends tell me there's mayo in it! It's quite sweet and decadent. Anyways it was a tasty shake and I do like that I got cake bit thru the straw! Service was quick and friendly! Also, very importantly - bathrooms were clean.

It was hot and fresh when I ordered it so no issues there. They also have the kiosk machine to order your food which is great. It has photos of the food you're ordering so it is helpful.

The meat has no seasoning (unless you consider cheese a seasoning). Pimp's sandwich was unseasoned. Sauce made the bun a soggy mess. We had curly fries which were completely underwhelming. The place could use a good cleaning. The counter near the self serve pop dispenser was sticky. Fortunately it's not warm enough. Had it been, we would have been dining with flies. Superman Cheesecake looks good. But honestly, I'm afraid to eat it. Total bill: $44 for two sandwiches, fries and cheesecake. We won't be back.

Even though Chelios chili is closed downtown, they still sell their chili in frozen bags. I added a pop and chip combo for $2. Total was $24 which I know is kind of expensive for a lunch, but the sandwich and chili were REALLY EXCELLENT AND I SAVORED EVERY BITE. The pop and chip combo reminded me of childhood days growing up in Detroit. I SHALL RETURN to try their other sandwiches as well as coney dogs. Service was polite and friendly. Dining area was clean and comfortable. Restroom was IMMACULATE!

A big massive corned beef or ham & swiss or Dinty Moore from a place that has fresh bread smell absorbed into the walls. Well, Bread Basket kind of delivered. I had picked out my chosen order while salivating in between work meetings earlier that morning, and ordered online, expecting a quick in-and-out work lunch visit. I got there - and the polite staffer told me that I had to pick something else, because the item was no longer on the menu, but hadn't been removed from the website yet, and hadn't been removed from the menu above his head yet. He handed me a pamphlet menu - which still had the menu item. No big deal. Restaurants can transition. Change is good. I went with a #9 Rachel's Rhyme as my back-up. It's corned beef and turkey breast as a 4-decker club sandwich, with Russian dressing. Positives: the sandwich was huge. I'm a big dude, and I could only eat half. The corned beef was excellent, the turkey was tender. Negatives: the sandwich was $20 and didn't include any side nor drink. That's like "the most expensive lunch with unlimited sides" at some other local spots. It doesn't fully redeem that price point when I got to keep half to eat the next day for lunch when it was cold from sitting in the fridge. Staff was nice, the place was diner-esque, but I won't be in a rush to get back. Most of the menu was $15.99 or higher for a sandwich by itself. I get inflation, but I can still get an amazing buffet nearby for less than that.

That's how I stumbled upon Farmington Deli--a hidden gem I'm glad I found.

When I arrived, I was greeted warmly by the gentleman behind the counter, who handed over my neatly packed order. Five minutes later, I was happily devouring a fresh pastrami and Swiss sandwich with a side of their house-made potato salad--both delicious, and a great deal to boot. Quick, easy, and satisfying. I'll definitely be back.
