I've enjoyed this deli for so many years and when I get back to Saginaw I try to stop in for a sandwich. It's classic deli, nice hoagie rolls with the traditional toppings. The place is pretty small, and the staff sling the sammie's super quickly. The prices are comparable to Subway, and the quality is substantially better! Looking forward to the next time! read more

Food - Italian sub was smelly. It didn't taste right either. Service- fast and Friendly Ambiance- hole in the wall deli This had to be one of the most disappointing sandwiches. It really was disgusting. One bite and done. Would not recommend. read more

Now you can't beat the size and service of sandwiches you can get here. I mean there is always a line but it is definitely worth it!

The number 18 is so damn good, I drive from Detroit to get it, at least 4 times a year Absolute friendliest people work there read more

Heard about them via town folk..and they pointed me in the right direction!! I wasnt quite sure of what sandwich to order; I asked the gentleman behind the counter about the tuna and he offered me a taste. Huntie!!! It was soooo yummy...and it had NO CELERY!! Praises to whom ever made the tuna... Staff was supper friendly and professional...if eva in Saginaw...stop in... Your belly will thank you!! read more

BY FAR the best subs in Saginaw, bar none. I haven't had a sub this good since eating at The Galley in Kalamazoo in the 70s!

A Saginaw legend. Everything is fresh with no preservatives. Great food from quick friendly owners and employees. Call ahead, Saginaw loves this place so much that on certain days they are overran and run out of the bread that makes them famous. The bread is made fresh daily, and the amount is ordered the day before based on 40 years of experience. If you're looking for a corporate experience, keep driving. This is real food not reheated slop. read more

9 18 or the tuna, can't go wrong with any sandwich on the menu though! Fresh and delicious!

I Eat at this place every once and awhile and it never fails to impress its consistent and delicious. It's the most underrated gem in food in local Michigan Saginaw. The one flawed thing it has is it's hours it closes little bit after 1:00pm if ur lucky before 12 but that's how they make business and it's been working since before I was born in 2004. Highly Recommend!!!! read more

#9, Hasbeck pickle, BBQ Frito Twists All washed down with Michigan's own Faygo CherryCola. Support this Saginaw restaurant They are by far the BEST Sub Samichs ANYWHERE!!! read more

Intermission Deli - It's a #9, Hausbeck pickle & Frito honeyBBQ twists, washed down with a Vernors!! - Delis Near Me - Saginaw, Michigan

This place is the best for subs. Homemade fresh bread daily. Really cheap, really delicious. Don't let the decor fool you. This will be the best sub you've had. One of the few staples of Saginaw that has survived because it is that friggin good read more

Intermission Deli - This place is the best for subs. Homemade bread daily - Delis Near Me - Saginaw, Michigan

Best sandwich in tri cities. I've eaten there several timed when in town. It can't be beat.

I have NO IDEA how this place is so popular. IMO, Worst Deli in the state. Only open for a couple of hours each day, because they run out of bread. My suggestion to them, is GET MORE BREAD. read more

Hands down one of, if not THE, best sub I've ever had. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu, and they're the best priced in town.

Yum!! Great food and fast friendly service. Jeremy was very helpful and efficient. Can't wait to go back for another sammy

The best tunafish sub sandwich in Saginaw County. But please go early because they do run out of the bread

I grew up in Saginaw County and the owners have known my daughter since she's been about toddler/preschool age. Each time we go in there they remember our order. We come to Saginaw twice a year for the dentist and make morning appointments so we are guaranteed to get a sandwich. They have the best mouth watering bread ever. Wonder and wish I had the bakery close to me. Once they run out of bread, they close for the day. Some people hate that but you know they are well liked if they sell out. read more

Intermission Deli - 15. Ham, Roast Beef, Turkey and cheese I add tomatoes lettuce and pickles along with the dressing - Delis Near Me - Saginaw, Michigan

Oh wow! I'm actually craving this place as I'm typing this review! Ordered the Italian sub and WOW, gotta be one of my favorite sandwiches I've ever had! Their bread was fresh and their topping even "fresher". Customer service was amazing and the vibe was very welcoming! Next time I'm in Michigan i will make sure to stop there and get my sandwich fix! read more

Best place to pick up a sub in Michigan. First place I found since living on the east coast that has a real sub. The meats are legit and the bread is perfect. Price is a huge plus too. Great place to pick up lunch. read more

This place can be hit and miss solely because of how popular it is. If you need to do a party platter, be sure to call at LEAST one day ahead of time so they can plan accordingly. read more

Get there before they run out of their freshly baked bread! A million times better than subway so authentic tasting they put love in those sandwiches read more

Best subs and sub sauce ever!!! I get a large sauce and basically stench my #18 in saucey heaven lol

My relatives had shared with me many times how wonderful the subs are here at Intermission. Many times have I been through Saginaw and driven right passed on my way to or from somewheres. I never took the info too seriously because they were the ones that also told me about the awesome Tony's steak sandwiches and I couldn't agree with them. Yes, I said it.. Tony's is not all that. I got a chance to try the deli finally, instead of drive-thru for the long drive home we purchased a couple foot longs. Pulling up to the parking area I was astonished at the number of cars in the parking lot already. It wasn't even 11 am yet and the lot was full. Inside there were a line of people up to the doorway. Inside they have a few booths and a restroom. While your sub is being prepared you can take a look through the glass and watch. These deli subs hit the spot, I think I could use another one now that I'm rekindling the thoughts in my head. They aren't Quizno's or Subway, they are home made, made on the wide French bread which can get sloppy if you don't man up and hold it properly. I had this divine sandwich called a Texan or Texan Cowboy sandwich, it came with Roast beef, cheddar and a special sauce. Now I could definitely go for one. A foot long was enough and kept me satisfied for the drive back to Chicago. Too bad they only have one location in Saginaw, a few more around town would be helpful. read more

Similar to subway except they give you a lot more lettuce. Homemade bread is the best part. Have to work around their hours. read more

Best deli sandwich in Saginaw. The only thing that isn't outstanding is the fact that if you're craving one of their delicious sandwiches after about 2 pm, you're out of luck. When the bread is gone, they close down. Get there early! read more

Best subs ever!! Make sure you arrive early so you don't miss out on the fresh baked bread everyday! 20/10!! My favorite subs in Saginaw and bay city! read more

Awesome hole-in-the-wall lunch place on Bay Road in Saginaw. Unsuspecting location. It is family owned and has been in business since (I believe) the early 80s. They've been there that long for a reason. They make a darn good sandwich! The bread comes fresh every day from a bakery in Midland, so once they run out, they're done for the day! Get there early. My recommendation is to bring a friend and get the lunch special--2 12" subs and 2 drinks all for $11.95. 5 stars for sure. Staff is awesome and very friendly. In terms of actual subs, i recommend the #36! Grab lunch here ASAP! read more

This is one of the best sandwiches I have ever had! The Lunch Special is a great value if you bring a friend or family member. The bread is shipped fresh from Midland everyday and when they run out they are done for the day so get there quick! read more

I have been eating intermission deli since the day I was born. There is no comparison, period. I cannot believe a couple of yelpers have compared their ingredients to subway!!?? Do you have taste buds? Anyways, you cannot compete with the price and taste of these sandwiches. Yes they run out of bread and close early or take a week vacation that you don't know about until your at the front door :) but I think that just adds to what makes them so special! You gotta plan your day around getting there in time! And if you don't make it in time (which I have too many times to count) then you try again another day. read more

By far my favorite deli ever!! Everything is fresh. Prices are fantastic. Fresh bread from a local bakery delivered daily. Once the breads gone they're closed. You have to get here by 2pm to be sure to get some deliciousness. If you're a turkey fan I'd recommend the 33. The sandwiches come in 6" and 12" but don't think subway, because they are far superior to that. Most of the sandwiches come with lettuce, pickle, and oil/vinegar. You can add banana peppers if ya want!! Need to go get me one today!! read more

Have been going here since they opened in 1982. Sadly I moved away from Saginaw in 2002, but it is the ONE place I MUST go when I visit. Their sandwiches are the best and they are all so friendly. Anyone going to Subway or Jimmy John's instead is an idiot. Support local business! read more

When I came to Bay City this place was raved on. I can honestly say I am not a fan of the subs as they contain too much bread and not enough toppings, but the salads.....they are wonderful. Nice sized and made fresh, I will continue to get my salads from there. read more

To answer the critic that said they close when they run out of bread so therefore I am an idiot I would like to mention that they do not bother to put a sign on the door saying they have run out of bread. Wouldn't common sense tell them to do that? read more

Just tried it for first time it was great I think the bread is what makes it even better everything was fresh I had a cold cut sub and everything was tasty will come back for something different lil tricky getting to but worth it. read more

They have THE BEST SUBS!! The bread is always fresh. Call ahead Incase they have sold out.

This place is so underrated! Food is always fresh and staff are always friendly! My only wish is they would expand or offer delivery! Either way, I won't knock a star for that because they clearly know what they are doing!! read more

If you live in Saginaw you know all about ID and they're hometown quirks- the big one being they close when they run out of bread. So get there early if you want to eat! They're super popular for lunch and it's not odd to see a line out the door. The bread is fresh, the proportions are more than generous, and the service is solid. read more

Oh my goodness I travel all over the US and abroad and I found the best deli. Intermission deli! Wow I just knocked down a 6 inch #3 with extra meat ( trust me I didn't need extra meat ). Saginaw I'm jealous. I feel sorry if your eating at Subway. You need to try this hopping place. Yum. You must try them very friendly staff. read more

Intermission Deli is as good as it gets in regards to lunch in Saginaw. If you're from here, you know about this place. If you're from here and don't live in Saginaw anymore, you crave this place. read more

Saginaw is not known for having good local food. The locals here have pretty bad taste. You will hear a lot of them say great things about Tony's and Intermission Deli. I don't get it, they're both awful. I've had Intermission a couple times, their subs are basically as good as the ones from Meijer. Dead serious. It's amateur hour. Someone just got some bread, mediocre meat and cheese, put it together and sold it. It's one of the worst subs I've ever had in the United States. I can't understand how someone can come from Chicago or NYC and think this is good? The location is awful too. I drove by it for years and didn't even know it was there. If this place did so well, how has it not moved yet? read more
