    Pastrami Melt
    Kai C.

    I got it through door dash and wasn't disappointed. The pastrami melt on sourdough... muwah!! I was disappointed they didn't have the pickles on it but I looove pickled onions. Every bite of this sandwich hit! The regular fries were good too. Would have been even better hot, but I still give it 5 stars. I'll be back.

    Cam back for the Terry melt and it was as just as amazing as I thought it would be. Juicy steak and cheese on toasty sourdough..mmmm. It came with a sauce and even though I did not care for it much l..I still ate it with my sandwich. It tasted almost like Italian dressing and marinara mixed together. I would have preferred Italian or an Italian/ranch mix but it still was an amazing sandwich !

    New menu is absolutely awesome! Pastrami sandwich, their soups! It's the new go to spot for me when I'm in Dearborn. Low key love it!

    The BLT
    Sunil A.

    I wasn't sure what to expect walking in. Looking at the building from the outside it seems like a much larger sit down restaurant, and while there are a few tables it is much smaller on the inside than expected and also shares space with a bubble tea shop. That's really neither here nor there cause the sandwiches here are so good I'm pretty sure I would come here to eat if it was in the middle of a sanitation field. It's all pretty basic, you walk up to the counter and pick from a bevy of sandwich styles. I have been on a massive BLT kick as of late in all aspects of eating whether it is pizza or.... um... or... hmmm well I guess as pizza or sandwiches and I ordered the BLT melt. A+ fantastic wonderful!!!! -- look at those exclamation points As a bonus I got to meet Terry himself, and when you look at his pics from his days as a young man in the business, you do kind of wish he still had that big hair LOL. Just kidding. He was a very nice guy and told me I have to come back and try the steak melt. Which is very high on my list as I plan on making this a regular stop. 1OO% recommend, you will not be disappointed.

    The Terry Melt / Z's Bubble Tea interior
    Amanda L.

    SO good! All restaurants should honestly double as bubble tea shops. Who knew that the sandwich melts from The Terry Melt would pair so well with the drinks at Z's Bubble Tea?! You can't go wrong with any of the melts you order here, they are delicious. Prices are so so good as well. I got the chicken melt and it literally melted my brain. It's definitely very carb heavy / oily, so I only ate half of my sandwich, then forgot my leftovers at my friend's house and was seriously sad about it when I realized because I was really looking forward to finishing that melt and now I've been craving it ever since! I will definitely be coming back soon because the melt was just THAT good! Portions are massive too, especially for the price, and even a regular order of fries was more than 2 people could handle! Love a generous business model! :D

    This restaurant is like a two parter, there's the Terry Melt and Z's bubble tea. You have to cash out with two different transactions if you want both. I did get both because obviously I needed to try both! From the Terry Melt I ordered the steak quesadilla. There was mushrooms, onions, green pepper, and Swiss cheese. But my picky butt for the onions and peppers off of it. I was expecting a thin quesadilla (honestly like Taco Bell) with cheese, steak, and mushrooms but I was so wrong. This quesadilla was like a cheese steak! It was greasy and thick and definitely different. There was a white sauce on the quesadilla, kind of similar to mayo, that I didn't like and they didn't mention under the description so I was not happy about that. I'm gonna come back and try the quesadilla again without the sauce and I think I'll like it a lot more, but for right now I'm indifferent about. Service was fast and everyone was friendly, but I wasn't happy with the sauce not being on the description.

    I was in the area and stopped by on a whim since I've had it on my list for quite awhile. I'm glad I made that decision. The steak melt is delicious. The restaurant itself is nice and clean, and the staff is friendly. I will definitely have another steak melt soon.

    Chicken melt and sweet potato fries.

    Very prompt service, friendly staff. Smallish on the inside but clean dining room. Food was piping hot and fresh! Very tasty. Will return!

    Tuna melt
    Adrienne A.

    Bring a big appetite to The Terry Melt! I honestly didn't know anything about this place, but loved the restaurant that preceded it, so I was intrigued when I noticed the new signage. After checking the Yelp reviews, I knew what I wanted to order - a melt of course! Specifically, the turkey melt and my father ordered the tuna melt. I also upgraded my sandwich to a combo for $3.50 with Cajun-spiced curly fries as the side. This was either a mistake or genius depending on how you look at it because the portion sizes are HUGE! The sandwiches are huge and the fry portion looked like 3 supersized fries combined. If went back I definitely would split a sandwich with someone else and share a fry among 3-4 people. The sandwiches are a little pricey at $10 but given the size, they could be a value if you share it. They also had grilled shawarma pita sandwiches for $4.50, which has me intrigued. Now on to the taste test. The melt sandwiches were grilled to a perfect golden brown and the rye bread flavor balanced nicely with the ingredients. I was a little disappointed that the turkey was deli style and processed vs roasted and carved. The flavors were good but not intriguing or uniquely craveable. My father said his tuna melt was good and that's about the best compliment or description he ever provides. The curly fries were nice and crispy and flavorful but not particularly spicy for being Cajun-spiced. Service seemed very pleasant and efficient. I'll be back to try that grilled shawarma pita.

    Today is a beautiful day, so why not enjoy it with a delicious sandwich from Terry Melt? Terry Melt is known for their melts and sandwiches, and they have outdoor seating for nice weather like today. Plus, they have @zsbubbletea next door so you can also grab some boba and enjoy a delicious lunch while enjoying the weather. It's crazy how bubble tea and these melts go so well together.

    The first time I came all I had was a shawarma. I didn't try any of the melts yet, but my wife and I decided we were craving a good grilled sandwich. We called ahead of time to place an order for pick up, and then realized that they had closed 10 minutes ago. Despite that, the person on the phone allowed us to place an order anyway, which wasn't something we pushed for so we thought that was very nice of them to do. We wouldn't have blamed them had they said no, but we ordered 1 chicken melt and one tuna melt. Truthfully, these sandwiches are spectacular. The bread works well to hold the contents of the sandwiches and always remained crunchy on the outside. Going above and beyond to satisfy customers like this is something rare in the restaurant business. You have earned this extra star, thank you

    Been wanting to try this place out for a while…read more Overheard this place will be closed for 4 weeks or so starting next week. Grabbed some lunch for my team: Chicken bacon ranch no lettuce or tomato, a large Lebanese salad (no pita), Turkey Reuben sandwich, Chicken melt, Bronx and a can of Mountain Dew and one can of Coke. Oh my. Their Chicken melt menu that someone posted on here changed from what someone else had posted a while back. Their current chicken melt is essentially a chicken Philly. It wasn't what my team member wanted, had to give it to someone else, since it had mushrooms in it. The Lebanese salad was good, the large is a good size. Loaded with tomatoes and cukes. Ended up with bits of pita at the bottom of my salad, had to pick them out. :/ The chicken bacon ranch was nicely packed with meat in a sub bun. The Bronx was good as well. The turkey Rueben was okay. Light on the kraut and sauce. The turkey meat was deli slices though. The bread was maybe separately toasted. It was pan or cook top cooked. The rye was a bit too hard as I tried to get a bite in. I ended up having to gut it and eat the inside goods separately. Oven roasted turkey would have been fantastic, more kraut or add slaw too. Salad was good and fresh. The sandwiches look picture worthy.

I can't believe the place is still here after all of these years. There are 2 types of subs here: Italian, and "Other Subs", so you know that this shop sprang from the vibrant Italian community that once populated Detroit. The Italian Subs at Gonella's are ordered according to how many layers it builds up (which I think is a unique concept). These layered Gonella Italian Subs are layered with a variety of Italian meats (Hard Salami, Salami Cotto, Mortadella, Smoked Ham and Capicola), provolone cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, onions & Gonella's homemade dressing.

Soft sub buns, tons of stacks of meat, lettuce and tomato or not. No one goes hungry after a sub here. Some deli spots tend to skimp on the protein, but not this place. My team members favorite is the Italian, 6 stacks. I usually will go for a turkey or chicken stack. They offer up to 18 stacks, haven't tried that yet.

Everything about the Philly was very good, but the bread roll really stood out to me...it was super soft & fresh but had a perfect, golden, thin, crispy crust on the exterior holding everything in place and giving just the right amount of crunch to every bite. It held up to the steamy steak and cheese like a champ without getting soggy, Solid sub. And this beast is big; half is enough to satiate almost any hungry appetite. I got mine to go, but the inside is bright & spacious with a ton of seating (but parking can be a challenge). This might also be one of the cleanest sub shops I've ever visited...absolutely spotless when I was there. While in the shop, I also got the pleasure of meeting Mike, who said he bought the place from Ricky a few years back. Mike seems to be a great dude who loves what he does and takes pride in his craft. He hooked me up with a sample of the red pepper relish, showed me what kind they use, and even told me where to buy it in bulk! He also shared some of their in-house Cajun seasoning, which was pretty tasty. Before I left, he gave me a heads up to be sure to hit Dearborn Sweets next door, and even some top selections to try (FWIW....he was right). I can't wait to come back and try some of their other subs! Shoutout and thanks to Mike for making it a great first visit!

They have a menu board with multiple options listed. You order at the stand at the back of the store, and then our food was brought out to us even though we had ordered it to go. I am not sure if that is always the process- I was expecting to go to the counter to pick it up myself so that was a nice surprise! We ordered our sandwiches to go even though we were dining in as we knew we would be taking home leftovers. The seating area inside is no frills. They have less than 10 tables inside, and when we were leaving all of them were full with people waiting for seats. They did appear to have 2 tables outside but they were not being used as it was raining. They did have a carafe full of ice water that was self serve by the door, and they had large cups available which I appreciated! My eyes were immediately drawn to the Spicy Chicken Caesar and the Napa Club. Since this was my first time I ordered both and planned to share half of each sandwich. When I opened the Spicy Chicken Caesar I was surprised by the appearance of it. I had expected a lot more lettuce inside. It looked more like chicken salad rather than salad with chicken. The flavor was good and it was not too spicy! The focaccia was very soft. The Napa Club had great flavor to it, but when I was eating it I could really tell that there was avocado inside of it. The predominant flavor was the garlic and herb aioli. I did feel the chicken was a touch on the dry side. Overall, my experience and food were good; however, I am not sure I agree with the rave reviews. I would return in the future and would love to try some of their other meats aside from chicken, and their pasta salad also looked nice. The service was friendly and I feel like the price was fair. It's a nice addition to downtown Farmington!

Hubband got the turkey and ham sandwich and said the ham was excellent but had the same gripe about the low quality turkey as me. Are they big, yes? Would I rather have less meat but it be much higher quality for the same price? Also yes. Decor hasn't changed in the almost 15 years since I visited. It's clean enough but still incredibly over-crowded with too many tables and chairs. Service was friendly. Honestly, this is just so underwhelming that I'm incredibly surprised that people are excited to drop $15 on a mediocre sandwich. I'm missing something (it must be nostalgia because I didn't grow up here.)
