Jay’s Deli — Restaurant in Southfield

Welcome home. This guy is so friendly. It's a mom and pop shop. I got to talk to the cook and she told me she doesn't like having extra cooks. She does everything perfectly and by hand. I got to try a bit of everything, and you can tell it's made with pride. Perfectly fried foods and hand breaded. Fresh salads and meats. She goes above and beyond to be sure everything is perfect. Chicken, it's tender and juicy with a nice crunch to the breading. Even fried it isn't oily, it is juicy. Burgers are huge! Again, with fresh veggies on top. Fresh cut onions. It could be the simplest thing and she will make it as if it came right from your kitchen and pop with serve it to you with a smile and a glowing happiness that just makes it all that much better. Salads are fresh cut and made. They are also fairly large. I can't decide if I like the cobb over the chef or not. I wouldn't be shocked if she made her own dressing. She is particular about what she serves, and it has to be perfect for you. Fries are lightly seasoned. Not buried in salt. Beautifully golden and not over done, dry and heat lamp warmed. Perfect small batch homestyle cooking with everything made with love and pride. Served with kindness and smiles....

Just ordered a Brian's blvd and a tuna salad sandwich.. the Swiss was amazing, and that's so I have to say positive.. sandwiches weren't cut in half so difficult to eat... Tuna salad was tuna straight from can... No mayo... Griddled HOT... So it was essentially a tuna melt with no mayo and soggy hot tomatoes.. should've grilled the bread with the melted Swiss and made a proper cold tuna salad with mayo celery etc. With ice cold tomatoes. I appreciate the effort but I won't...

I've been coming here for the past 3 years since I started working out here and I love the food. I come on for breakfast and then right back for lunch nearly every day. I made a special request (double rodeo burger with bacon as shown) and it slapped. Not to mention they now do Doordash!! Yep definitely my go to spot for lunch...
