I stopped by What's The Dill for the first time during 313 weekend bar and restaurant crawl. It's a small carry out space and I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I loved the customer service. Menu was a nice variety of bread-less options. I went with the namesake sandwich What The Dill that included corned beef and turkey. It didn't disappoint. The pickle tasted fresh and it wasn't too tangy or sweet. It complimented the meat, cheese, veggies and flavors with a nice crunch. I should have ordered more than one sandwich because I liked it so much. I thought it was cool that the included gloves with the sandwich. Parking was available around the building and on an adjacent street. Order was made fresh and there wasn't a long wait. I plan to go back and try some other menu options. read more

I absolutely loved What's the Dill As someone who's on a diet which discourages bread, I've been on the lookout for all of the breadless options the city has to offer. You have Breadless, you have the Shake Shack lettuce burger (which isn't bad as long as you get a double), Jimmy John's unwich, and What's the Dill. Breadless and What's the Dill are, by far, the best the city has to offer in this department. I got the Big Dill Delight from here and it was tremendous. The quality of the lunch meat was apparent immediately. This was fresh lunch meat with a natural texture and flavor. This was not rubber textured, processed lunch meat that you see far too often. The variety of the lunch meat was tremendous. You had Corned Beef, Turkey, and Ham and then Italian favorites like Pepperoni and Salami. They also included Bacon for no extra cost. The final hurdle was the preparation of a sandwich that has a pickle bun. It's a culinary feat to make this sandwich in an organized fashion without having the bread to fall back on. They did it with flying colors. When I saw the sandwich, I was thoroughly impressed with how they engineered it. I was able to eat it as a sandwich and not just have it fall apart. I like exploring spots north of West Grand Boulevard, and this is one of the gems. The staff was incredibly kind and helpful and extremely competent, given the difficulty of the sandwiches they are making. It's a carry up restaurant with plenty of parking. This and Breadless take the cake as the best breadless options in the area! read more

First off, loved the customer service. She answered any questions, offered suggestions, and had a friendly and positive attitude. The food was super great, and generous portions. The seasoning on the sandwich was perfect. Got the pickle sandwich, wife got the cucumber rolls, and we split an egg sandwich. Everything tasted great, and have no complaints. Hopefully will be able to come back here during this trip. Highly recommend!!!! read more

I found What's The Dill while searching for sandwiches near me. Thanks, Yelpers for leading me there! I bookmarked it weeks ago, and was finally able to stop by after work today. The small carryout shop is located in the beautiful U of D Mercy neighborhood on McNichols across the street from the college. What's The Dill offers a variety of deli sandwiches served on huge dill pickles. You can choose from an already curated sandwich or build your own. I opted for a sandwich with corned beef, turkey and cheese. It was light, fresh, and delightful. Kudos to the owner for her creativity! There are also other items to nosh on such as deviled eggs, which are 2 for a dollar and quite tasty, bags of potato chips, jarred and packaged pickles, desserts, and cucumber wraps. There are several drinks to choose from including Kool-aid. Be sure to ask for a shot of pickle juice, which is free to experience while you wait for your order. Cards are accepted. The shop sits on a corner, you can park on the side street or in the back parking lot. Don't forget to grab a punch card. When filled, you earn a free sandwich. read more

The healthiest sandwich you'll ever have!!!! I love deviled eggs and the egg sandwiches are the best. My favorite is the blt. My son got the hammer little pickle sandwiches and loved every bite. They are the nicest and most welcoming people. They always have something for you to sample and they move as fast as they can. The food is always packaged neatly and tastes great. They give you a glove with the big sandwiches but you can always request more. read more

Let's be clear this is a hood spot. Well worth the trip. It is located near a pretty busy corner. Tight pulling driveway but there is parking in the back and side street. The day I went they were also selling Black Diamond watermelons and giving free samples. On the counter they have Koolaid flavored pickles. Wow, this I definitely a place to go if you like pickles. I wanted something different and that's exactly what I got. In a good way. The pickle was firm and juicy. It held up to the sandwich. The high quality of the sandwich meats were exactly what I was looking for. The amount of meat and toppings were perfect. The total package is the reason why I would return. The price is fair for the quality and amount you receive on your sandwich. read more

Visited without any expectations, not really knowing what was about to go down. I love deli sandwiches but this is a "bread less" option!!!! I chose the "Big Dill" it was enormous! It had everything imaginable on the sandwich. I can't even remember....LoL!!! The service was perfect no complaints there..... the building /Lobby/ waiting area is extremely small. That doesn't take from the experience tho....pricing was fair and comparable to a normal deli option. Please check it out. It's worth the time and effort. read more

What's The Dill - The Big Dill Delight Sandwich I was hungry took picture after I took a bite... - Delis Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

I stopped in yesterday while I was working, I have been wanting to go for 2 years. Nice little informative ambiance. She gifted me 2 shots of pickle juice. Great friendly customer service. I ordered myself a sandwich special order and my work partner a sandwich right off of the menu. Whew, we SMASHED.LOL. I'M GRATEFUL they packed gloves and napkins it was delicious and messy. I'm trying to talk my husband into going for a quick bite today. read more

What a great find! Just a block east of 6 Mile/Livernois, there's a small newcomer with BIG taste - "What's the Dill?". Apparently, they started out as a very popular pop-up/food truck and now what's the , a brick and mortar! What's the hook? The sandwiches are made between a large dill pickle! I'd suggest trying it - ditch the carbs! I had the tuna (yummy) and also the cucumber crab roll ups. All tasty! read more

I ordered the lodge dill wit it(turkey, ham, bacon, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, cheese, Italian dressing and mayo). Bacon pieces ware used instead of bacon strips and I didn't care for that. The pickle is so large it's hard to take a bite. I ended up opening the sandwich and esting it in 4 pieces. I was worried the pickle would be too salty but it was actually the perfect balance. The staff was great. The person taking orders took his time to explain the sandwiches and the additional options available. I like the concept but I'm not sure if I'll be back. read more

What's The Dill - Lodge Dill Wit It - Delis Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

Quality meat, crispy pickles. I got the On the Lodge, which was like a club on a pickle. I enjoyed it and the seasoning was on point. Definitely something different for lunch. I liked that it wasn't heavy and was lighter, and I didn't feel "weighed down" after. A good spot for unique bite to eat! read more

These guys make sandwiches out of pickles. Unique and tasty. I will definitely stop again.

This is my current favorite lunch. It's a simple concept...sandwiches smooshed between pickle halves instead of bread...but if you're gluten free like me...or keto or low carb...it's really nice to have a fast and affordable carryout spot that feels simple and easy because it's handheld and healthier version of fast food! Swear I get so sick of salads! It's a nice change of pace and so so good. They really stack the deli meat on. It is difficult to take a full bite, but they even pack a plastic glove in the box so you don't get too messy. It's not dine-in. Just a carryout counter and some seating while you wait. I've never had an issue with ordering over the Doordash app either. read more

Small space on 6 Mile (McNichols for you non Detroiters) just east of Livernois. Walking in you smell the aroma of pickles right away. We ordered two corned beef pickles and deviled eggs. Everything tasted good. Just a super cool concept of making a sandwich using pickle instead of bread. The sandwich was filling and the deviled eggs were sold in twos. I'll definitely be back to try more items on the menu. read more

What's The Dill - Yum Yum sandwich which is a pickle sandwich with corned beef, lettuce, tomato, cheese, mild peppers, sauce, and seasoning - Delis Near Me - Detroit, Michigan

What's the Dill brings yet another innovative take on a bread less sandwich - this time with your favorite pickle. Each pickle is loaded with sandwich toppings and the pickle brine brings that ever needed acidity to the sandwich. Full disclosure: it's definitely a messy eat and you have to enjoy pickles to take in the full glory of WtD! The sauce does help mellow out the acid to create a harmonious flavor. If you make your way to What's the Dill, know there is no seating and your sandwich comes straight to you from their window - so plan your sandwich satisfaction accordingly. read more

The sandwiches here are really good. If you like pickles, you will like this place. Everything always tastes fresh. My favorite place. The service is good too. Staff is helpful and patient. As far as ambiance, it's just a walk in restaurant. You order and wait for your food. It's not a sit down restaurant. read more

This is a grab and go place with very welcoming customer service. don't let the small building stop you from grabbing a great sandwich. when you walk in you are greeted with a big Hey ya what's the dill and you're giving a minute to look at the menu. you place your order at the counter and when it's ready they will call your order number. And you can sit in the chairs in the small ordering area. they have sandwiches As well as some side salads and chips and a few things that are served like poppers. The prices are very reasonable and they even have some lunch deals if you go in a certain time. I tried the lodge sandwich and the broccoli soup. the sandwich was a good size with a good amount of fillings and toppings my only complaint is that the bacon was clearly not fresh cooked bacon it was bacon out of real bacon bit bags from the store But hey I understand. area the pickle was nice and crispy and juicy and they hollowed out enough that the sandwich stood up to eating one hole half without a falling apart . The broccoli and cheese soup was very delicious it was very creamy almost like it had some cream cheese in it there was plenty of broccoli bits as well as shredded carrots which was nice. the price was very reasonable for the cup of soup I got. I appreciate it that they serve the soup with saladita crackers instead of the regular old saltines. I will definitely be back to try a few more of the menu items and I hope that they stay around for a while.. This place certainly did a great amount of business and stayed busy the whole time I was there. The customer service was a 5 and the food was a 4 and so I'm going to give the business a 4 star read more

The food was okay.. the pickle sandwich was salty by itself it did not need any seasoning.. also a little pricey.. they have Kool-Aid pickles but they are little slices for $2 a piece.. I don't know what kind of vinaigrette they are using but they need to change it it tastes just like regular vinegar. I would love to support my black people.. but at the same time you guys got to have some type of flavoring or some type of special sauce Other than vinegar and Lori salt. read more

The food was incredible! I would like to make this a regular stop. I like that it's a different spin on sandwiches. I ordered the cucumber wraps as well as the lodge and Anita sandwich and they all were good. The service here was truly wonderful. The wait at the start of the day was 15 to 20 minutes. Slowly but surely people started coming in and there was a short line out the door. The Keith Lee effect is real lol get in early so you can get out quick it's worth the stop. read more

Just go! If you love pickles and lighter options, you will not be disappointed!! I drove from Chicago and went twice during my 1.5 day stay. The owner is welcoming by not overbearing.

The concept of a sandwich but replacing the bread with a pickle was genius. So I figured I'd try. Let me tell you, great business decision on my part. First. Great service. Super nice people. It's a few premade pickle sandwiches but I built my own and again. Another good business decision. I got the bacon, pastrami and corn beef with a few add ons and mannnnnnn. 10/10. I don't even eat cold cuts, so the fact I liked this so much speaks volumes. I found out after the fact you can also replace a regular pickle with a hot or sour one, (pause) and I'll be doing that next time. 100%. Flavor a 10. Pickle a 10. Meat a 10. PAUSE. I'd check them out asap if you like pickles and sandwiches cause they cracked the code with this one. And I'll add again. Super nice people so go pull up on them just cause they decent human beings making good food. read more

I stay close by and have been meaning to try it, however, Keith Lee sent me lol. The girl at the front taking orders was so nice. They had shots of pickle juice as samples. It was clean inside the store and the kitchen appeared to be clean as well. I got the lil'Yumber rolls. It was cucumber instead of pickles, as I'm not a pickle person and it was good! It was a little on the salty side side but you can ask for no salt or light seasoning I'm sure. I also got the chicken salad that I didn't care for too much. I'll try tuna next time. read more

Delicious food, friendly service. The provided glove definitely comes in handy- it's not a neat and tidy meal, but it's worth the mess. Fresh ingredients and full of flavor. I meant to take a photo but got too excited to eat when I got home. I'll have to take one next time. read more
