Editorial Review for Russell Street Deli – by Jane Slaughter

In Short
This place is informal; you may share a table with some interesting folks. Hashed browns are made from scratch. Spicy corned beef comes with eggs. Any omelet special, such as havarti, dill and asparagus starts the day off right. Fluffy pancakes are served with fresh fruit and Traverse City maple syrup. For lunch go with the grilled vegetable sandwich, with roasted red pepper, grilled portabella, eggplant, zucchini, chevre and sun-dried tomato pesto.

5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Corned Beef fans listen up this is the best and leanest corned beef you will find in the Detroit metro area. Try it on sourdough with horsradish to taste or in your omelette with cheese and mushrooms, it's the best! Speaking of omelettes try the smoked sausage and cheese, you won't be disappointed. Home made soups made from stratch, I can honestly say I have never ordered anything at the Russell street deli that I didn't like. The line out the door says it all. It's definitely worth the wait!

Pros: Quality of food and service

Cons: It is small and since it is so good there is always a wait

I visit the Russell Street Deli every Saturday that I can. The scrambled and omellete specials are alway tantilize the tastebuds and inspire the imagination. Sometimes, there just downright cute! Like Green Eggs & Ham. I have fun with this one everytime. Anyway, there is usually great conversation to be had with your tablematess as well. Although not required, the right mix and you've got yourself a down right memorable moment. If you've never tried it, stop denying yourself this small pleasure. If it's been a while, don't forget you're missed. If you're a veteran, see you Saturday!

Pros: good parking, shopping, consistent quality

Cons: crowed late a.m.
