Really good pesto chicken sandwich - online ordering was fast and easy, service was very polite. Be prepared to navigate the construction off of Jefferson, but I thought it was worth it! read more

Another favorite haunt for my mom. It's right at the start of the nautical mile in Saint Clair Shores off Jefferson Avenue. I don't recall what was here when I was a kid at all. We went here a while back. My mother gets their chicken, lemon rice soup, and an eggplant portobello sandwich. My step likes their butternut squash soup with a lakeshore salad. I usually get the turkey ribbon and a Greek salad with the feta on the side. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Clean restaurant with friendly service.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Made to order sandwiches come with a pickle and bag of chips. Soup comes with a bread roll. Lots of salad and dessert options are available at the counter. The lobster bisque is good. The Grosse Pointe sandwich was fine but a bit on the plain side. It's just a chicken sandwich with not a lot of flavor with tomato and red onion. I will come back. It's a nice place to have a casual lunch. read more

Stopped by for lunch today and took a chance on their Maeun Chicken sandwich special. He promised it wasn't too spicy and he was right! So yummy and just the right amount of kick. It was messy, but so worth it. read more

Absolutely delicious. We will be back. I had the French onion soup and the eggplant portobello sandwich. Very good.

ordered the chicken and dumpling soup. Was very disappointed 1 small pieced of chicken and things they called dumplings, was smaller then the tip of a pen? read more

Great lunch spot. My husband and I go here weekly. The construction has made it difficult but that won't stop me from getting my Jefferson Chicken Salad sandwich. Yum Yum Yum read more

We shared a couple sandwiches. Nothing bad but nothing impressive either. Quick service and clean place.

Very surprising good. A little tricky to get to now but worth the detour have some unexpected Asian stuff on menu

This joint is my typical mile-away comfort food haven!!! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance is always cheerful and primarily locals.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] My treats: 1. New York turkey Reuben with no kraut, Russian dressing on the side(coleslaw too), with a side of always and onion rings is my jam!!! 2. Brooklyn Burger(minus tomato, bacon[I don't dig on swine], and pickles) is my other standby filler up!!!! I've only ordered takeout, but the staff has been killer. Fresh soups of the day have been excellent(beef barley and seafood chowder are magnificent)!!! The staff took my order over the phone and were even kind enough to recommend what soups to avoid after telling them I had just had dental surgery and was on a liquid diet. Baked cod is pretty great, but the best things I've tried are A: The Bumpy Cake and the Rice Pudding, fully loaded with cinnamon and whipped cream!!!! Not to mention the corned beef and pastrami sammich.... Whoa, forget about it!!! Top-notch!!!! Just go there, spend a few bucks, tip your waiters and waitresses, and don't forget to drop some coins in the bucket for the cooks! I love the friendliness of these fine folks, and if they keep cooking their dishes as they have been, I will remain a lifelong customer!!! Five stars Go there, be satisfied, and leave with your gas tank of love filled with extraordinary comfort food! You won't be disappointed!!! read more

The food is always better than expected. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Great staff & lots of seating, inside & out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] A real St. Clair Shores institution. read more

This deli always provides top notch service and excellent sandwiches. We frequent this place especially when family are visiting.

Popped in here a few times for a quick sandwich it's been consistently good. They have a lot of options and seem to get your order out quickly. They do have a dining area but you'll need to order at the counter first, no wait staff. No booze, just a casual deli. Parking can be tricky as the lot is narrow and small. read more

My partner and I have been driving up to Nautical Deli from Detroit for a couple of years now, I'd say once a week on average. The sandwiches are delicious (that focaccia bread is unreal!), fresh, and so consistent and reliable. Soups are delicious too, as are the cookies. It's family run and everyone is so friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Lots of room to sit and enjoy, clean, quiet, and they don't mind if you hang out a bit and even get a little work done.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sandwiches are my favorite things, and it's always surprisingly difficult to find a great deli like Nautical Deli with a huge menu, wide variety, and great quality read more

A St. Clair Shores staple, for the last 17+ years. Always friendly service and they have this place run like a well oiled machine. Love the online ordering feature to pick up inside. You can easily customize your sandwich with the online ordering. During the pandemic they were closed on the inside and bringing orders out to cars. Did this a couple times and never ran into any issues. I used to solely order the Shores Caesar sandwich. Recently I have noticed the quality in the chicken has gone downhill and is a bit rubbery now, so I try to avoid anything with grilled chicken. From what I understand, the soups are not homemade. However, all the soups I have tried are great and so I am ok with this. My two favorite soups they carry are the chicken and dumpling and butternut squash. I would recommend trying any of the other soup offerings too. Lately, I have been exploring other sandwich options, trying to try something new every time I go. Some notable sandwiches: Eggplant Portobello, Caprese, Bahn Mi, & Cordon Bleu, Egg Salad. There are so many other great options to try though, like the Southwest Panini, which is very popular, and the Apple Sammie. I only wish they were open a little later in the evening like they used to be, for dinner hour. read more

My boss has been RAVING to me about Nautical Deli for what seems like forever. Due to the hours (aka - closing when I'm at work) it's harder for me to stop in. Have no fear though: I finally got to try it! My boss was kind enough to treat me to lunch before a week off of work. She told me what she recommends (cream of broccoli soup and the Cuban) and I ended up ordering the Turkey Reuben. For around $30 we got three sandwiches with chips and pickles and a cup of soup. Not a bad deal! Everything here is made fresh and very filling! I loved my Reuben! Very flavorful and the the grilled rye bread was a nice touch. My boyfriend devoured his Cuban sandwich pretty quickly so I'd say he loved it too! My only real complaint was we ordered on the phone and weren't very sure of where to pick up. We went to the main counter (I think it's where you order) and the employee was a bit snarky about that. The pickup window was not labeled and it did not have a sign. Overall the food was better than the service but I'm sure it was an off day. The place itself was very clean and inviting! read more

What a great sandwich location in the shores. So Many great sandwiches and highly recommend pairing with one of the many soups they have which are delicious. For dessert recommend the Rice Krispie treat read more

My husband and I have ordered carry out from here a few times over the past few months and I am addicted to their gluten free wrap! AHH so good with the turkey rueben. I sure wish they had gluten free rolls to go with their soup. The soups change often - I haven't found a gf one that I am completely in love with yet. read more

Had the cuban sandwich. The description said it came with roast pork. They put barbecued pork on the sandwich, which is not what a cuban sandwich is supposed to come with. With all the diverse ingredients, all I could taste was barbecue sauce. This is not a cuban sandwich! Any dish with barbecue sauce? It's neutralized and overpowered by the barbecue sauce. If this is the way they choose to bake their Cupid sandwich. They should let you know that it is barbecued pork nut roast pork. Could have been a very good sandwich. Except all you could taste was the barbecue sauce read more

Nautical Deli is a great example of what a local deli should be. They have clean, quick, and a variety of foods, such as soups, sandwiches, salads, and even baked good. They have a rotating menu, which can be bothersome if you have a craving for a particular item, and it's only made on certain days, however, they always have great food, the orders are correct, and the service is good too. The only reason for not receiving 5 stars is the price-point. You will easily walk out of here spending $12+ for a sandwich and soup. read more

Great place for sandwiches & soup! First time, I tried the French Dip. It wasn't that bad, the au jus had onions in them and they were flavorful. I was skeptical getting a small cup of au jus but it was just enough. The second time, I tried their Cuban with added salami & red onions. Again, not bad, I've got better at other places. Lots of salami but very little amount of ham. My fiancé did really loved her Grosse Point sandwich. Their chicken lemon rice, tomato basil and tomato tortellini were delicious, hot and fresh. I will give this place another try but order cold sandwich next time. read more

I've been to Nautical Deli many times, but this past time was with a friend for lunch, on a Saturday. They're on a busy street and don't have a huge lot, so parking can sometimes be a little bit of a challenge. That said, it's worth it. They have a large dining area, and a few outdoor tables as well. You order at the counter, receive a pager, grab a drink if you ordered one and sit at a table until the pager buzzes. I ordered the apple hammie without mustard (I don't care for anything on my sandwiches), and macaroni salad, and my friend ordered the cuban. They were delicious. The ingredients are of a good quality, and all the flavors blended well together. Overall, great place for a casual lunch and I'll return. read more

Its been a couple of years since I've eaten here. I was so looking forward to this visit. I always loved their pesto chicken sandwich but it was truly disappointing this time. The piece of chicken was small & flavorless. The pesto mayo was just mayo, no pesto flavor. The young lady that took our order was very nice. The food was just blah. read more

Great food and great customer service. The only criticism is the close to early. Many times I have been driving past and thought "Oh man do I want an Apple Hammie" only to remember that they close early. :( Seriously try the Apple Hammie. read more

Great food but don't ask for any modifications. They DO NOT listen. This is now the 10th time I asked for the dressing on the side and they either put two drops on the sandwich or don't give you dressing at all. I have ordered online and gone inside to order and it happens EVERY TIME. read more

This place is the perfect lunch spot! The menu has so much to choose from and various combo options allow you to order a little bit of everything if you are having a hard time choosing. I had the shores Caesar on Ciabatta (instead of the sourdough). All sandwiches come with chips and a pickle. It was up quickly even for lunch time rush and it was so DELICIOUS! You could taste the freshness of the ingredients and I throughly appreciate the reasonable pricing for quality food. I will definitely HIGHLY recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a great soup and sandwich shop! read more

Used to come here weekly when I lived in the area. Great premium sandwich shop with a pretty expansive menu including vegan and healthier options. I recently came back and the experience was very similar to ones I've had years ago, which was encouraging to enjoy the consistency that you don't always see. Similar to a Panera where you can get soup and a sandwich, you're able to customize your lunch with ease. My favorite is the Guido, which as the name suggests is your traditional Italian style sandwich. I get the full sandwich and then pick a table with a good view of the mural of the coastline on the wall and enjoy my lunch. Can't wait to meet all my friends back here as we laugh about the good ol days. read more

Great friendly service, great selection of sandwiches soups and salads. I love the vegetarian options :-) I opted for the veggie Reuben. Great, fresh and tasty Hubs had the Cuban Said it wasn't the best Cuban he'd ever had but hit the spot it was a great fresh sandwich read more

Sandwiches are good, times are dicey as to when they are open, I have mostly had their food by delivery to the hospital where I work, they cut up the sandwiches in such small parts it becomes odd. Still, solid food. read more
