Reviews
To begin with ... we were under doctor's orders to visit this place. And bay-bee, the doctor is always right! Story time ... My husband and I had our quarterly visit with our doctor. We could do a lot better, but, who can't, right. While we were there, her sister called her to ask what she wanted for dinner (we're VERY close to our doctor ). It sounded so good, we asked where and what she was getting. The rest was kismet. If sunshine was a sandwich it would come from Mr. Corned Beef! To begin with, the place was amazingly clean. I didn't expect otherwise. But at 5:00 in the afternoon, I didn't know what to expect. It rarely strikes me how clean a place can the way this one struck me. My reviews will always begin with the service. Because, if the service isn't good, no matter how well prepared, the food will not be good. Shaniqua was fabulous at "hello". I explained to her that we were sent by my doctor with orders to just order "the little" corned beef. Shaniqua explained the sizes, and welllllll. Don't tell the doctor. When I finished ordering, Shaniqua informed me that when I come again, they have soul food dinners, buy one, get one free. Wait, what? (Shaniqua, why didn't you lead with that ). It only took 20 minutes. Loaded with bags of oh-my-god smells from heaven, what would normally had been a 20- minute ride to home, took 5! So, unless you're okay with sharing, the doctor was right ... get the little corned beef. Two bites of my PLAIN corned beef on rye, and I'm ready for nappy time. This is the most tender, lean corned beef. (I absolutely abhor fat.) The two dinners I got for us for tomorrow. Yeah right. Somebody's grandma is back there peeling yams and cleaning greens. A welfare check might be in order. Pimp is "double-fisting" his corned beef with Russian dressing on onion roll. I asked him how it was. He growled like the dogs do when you get too close to them gnawing on a big bone. If I would take anything away from the experience, I'd snip off the tips of two of the points of the fifth star: 1) Parking (none) 2) No dine in. (Probably due to parking, LOL) Thanks Dr. T. We can't wait to get a refill on this prescription. (Note to the extra health conscious: I am an "in-control" diabetic who has successfully lost over 60 pounds and have kept it off. Success is not about what you're offered, but the choices you make.)
My first visit. Reportedly has the best Reuben in Metro Detroit. Um, not for me. That said, it is a damn fine Reuben. Perfectly toasted. Wonderfully melted Swiss cheese. A generous portion of very good corned beef. But I want either more sauerkraut, or more spicy sauerkraut. My one gripe ... no napkins in the bag. Will I return? Perhaps. I want to try Lou's.
The food was excellent. I ordered several corned beef sandwiches. I do recommend ordering ahead as the wait can be long. I found them to be a bit pricey but it was well worth it. You definitely get a lot for the money.
A good corned beef sandwich reminds me of my childhood. From visiting authentic New York delis to eating at the original Detroit area ones, I've had deli corned beef all my life. The sandwich at Mr. Corned Beef satisfied my craving for nostalgia. The corned beef on my sandwich was moist and seasoned (picked) well. The onion roll was fresh. Very good sandwich.
The food is amazing. The cornbeef Rueben excellent. And we had the corn beef with coleslaw and it's grilled to perfection
