Bread Basket Deli

Bread Basket Deli has been a Detroit-area institution since 1968, serving what locals call the biggest and best sandwiches in the Motor City. Located on Middlebelt Road in Livonia, this family-owned deli has built a reputation on three simple promises: fresh-sliced meats all day, generous portions stacked higher than anywhere else, and a commitment to local ingredients that has remained unchanged for over five decades. The star of the menu is their legendary corned beef, delivered fresh daily and sliced to order, but the extensive menu features everything from the famous Reuben with its melt-in-your-mouth corned beef, Swiss cheese, hot sauerkraut, and Russian dressing on rye, to creative options like the Cuban Reuben, French Dip, Turkey Avocado, and Spicy Italian. Regulars rave about the 5-star high Reuben sandwiches with 3 inches of corned beef, while newcomers are quickly converted by the quality that keeps people coming back. The Livonia location offers pickup, delivery, and dine-in options, with online ordering available for those who want to skip the line. Open Monday through Saturday from 9 AM to 9 PM and Sunday from 10 AM to 7 PM, Bread Basket Deli also provides catering services for offices and events. With four locations across the metro area including Redford, Lincoln Park, and East Jefferson, this deli has become synonymous with Detroit's best corned beef.
