1 month ago I purchased a large corn beef and pastrami sandwich on an onion roll, 2 banana puddings. I like to consider myself honest because through the years when business wasnt popping, I kept on coming to support this mom and pop business that seem to struggle against the odds. But something happened with my order that made me take a different look and our business relationship. My sandwich had the regular tender corn beef in it, instead the thin sliced pastrami that you normally get with a mixed sandwich, I got a tough, chunk of pastrami that was unchewable. I had to throw the pastrami away. I think the banana puddings I also purchase that day, upset me the most. After getting home with my order, and opening up my bag, I notice that the containers had a lot of white stuff in it. I picked up the phone and called the restaurant right away and ask, what was the white stuff? I was told that it was whip cream and that everybody likes whip cream. I responded by saying I didnt order the whip cream, therefor that shouldnt have been included. After we hung up, I attempted to eat my dessert and I found that I had mostly whip cream and very little if any pudding. D. Motown Deli, You broke my heart, and Goodbye.
Absolutely the best sandwich I have had in years, staff is awesome , they are alert and dont miss a step. Im going to get one for the new pup ovcharka Caucasian shepherd. If I can resist eating the sandwich before I get home. who am I kidding, their sandwich wouldnt make the .3 miles from shop to worksite. I wont be able to resist!!!
Service was amazing. People was awesome. FOOD. OMG. ME AND MY SON DIDNT MAKE IT OUT THE PARKING LOT. I drove from the Westside all the way east for a sandwich. Just off an Instagram post. Yes the sandwiches look just like the videos. Even the cakes are amazing. However these darn Eggrolls gone have me in a coma🤦🏾♀️🤣🤣. Just all around great experience.
The corn beef sandwich was served hot and tender. Number 1 in my book. The corn beef egg rolls were great. Im kicking myself for not trying the desserts as good as they looked in the display case. The employees were very nice and helpful. I will definitely be back. Its best to call ahead though.
They dont take care of making sure you receive all your food. You cant talk to no one about your food either. They use door dash for delivery and they are not checking to see if your order is right either. Then you have to go thru hell and high water for a refund. And you end up wasting your time without any food. Back to square one. The Motown deli is a waste of time.
I ordered pastrami and swiss(only had two chesses) on onion bun with Swiss and mustard. The sandwich was delicious piles of meat but began to get soggy way to much juice. Would love to see more cheese options provolone to be precise also for that big sandwich I got you need too give to slices if pickles.
This place i s like a deli and coney mixed. I stopped in here yesterday for a quick bite. The food took a little longer than I was told to be prepared but it came out hot & fresh. I ordered the catfish meal with fries. The fish was a little more crispy than I expected but it was good & just what I needed. The pricing is fair; I paid 49 for 2 large fried catfish fillets and fries. I saw they have daily specials so next time Im in the area I might grab 2 smoked turkey eggs rolls.
So, I am a really huge fan of corned beef sandwiches/eggrolls and I must say, THESE ARE THE BEST around! The meat was sooooo tender and juicy, and the taste is on point(no funny seasonings added). The price is as expected for a great sandwich in the D. They have desserts that looked delicious, a definite buy on my next visit. If you havent already tried this place---do yourself a favor!!!
Foods excellent dont get me wrong but the women charge more for the food then the guy who works there hes always accurate 4 cornbeef egg rolls 2 drinks dont add up to 32bucks and some change egg rolls are 2 for 9.99 drinks medium 2.50 this isnt the first time I was over charged pay attention to your prices
Their fries are thick fries and they come lightly salted. Thats a plus for me. They offer several desserts like peach cobbler, cheesecake, banana pudding, and several cakes. The customer service is good. Youre greeted as you walk through the door. I ordered a turkey sandwich it was very good.
Wow! This was our first time here and we are in love. I am pretty sure this is the best corned beef sandwich I’ve ever eaten! The corned beef was so tender and flavorful and the coleslaw was to die for. The turkey sandwich was just perfect & the pickles were great! We will definitely be coming back again.
I don’t write reviews usually but I can’t help it this deli is just so good I want to share my experience, Customer service is the best and don’t get my started on the food. Best corn beef in Detroit hands down, the egg rolls will blow you Away of how delicious they are. And the deserts are so good as well
To be honest this was 3 stars I got a corn beef and turkey extra large and grilled rye The first thing that I wasn’t too happy about was my grilled rye was soggy the second thing is I thought the meat was a little bit too salty and the third thing is it was too greasy I feel like giving three stars is generous I would like to give 2 1/2 stars the quality just isn’t there for the price there’s different delis with better quality meat
This is the most AMAZING corned beef Ive ever tasted! Antoinette is great! The staff is very professional, courteous that just so happens to be family!If you want a great freshly made sandwich or wonderful corned beef egg rolls without all the additional charges for lean corned beef, choice of bread this the place! Quality and quantity hard to find, they have both!My only suggestion, add a location to the suburbs 😀 otherwise Ill, see u soon.DhanknShannonn
Food was amazing! The corn beef and pastrami was really fresh. Might honestly be the best sandwich I have ever had. Also, the corn beef egg rolls are to die for. The Russian sauce GREAT! Lastly, the lady working was really friendly and nice! Offered us to try deviled eggs and offer other customers things to sample.Great food and customer service, Thanks!
I placed a order for 4 sandwiches 3 were suppose to be on onion roll and 1 on rye they all were on rye I called back to complain and they took my name and number down and said they were gonna comp me for their mistake and when I called to get my sandwiches a lady who said she was the manager wouldn’t comp me for the mistake I will not be giving them anymore service I spent money and did not get what I asked for
Great customer service.. Placed a order over the phone and the lady was very polite, patient, and when I got there to pick up my order the guy was just as polite and courteous...

This place is located in the heart of the ghetto. If you look at the reviews, is his family members whos writing the positive review, who do not live nowhere in that neighborhood. You are going to be disappointed because the sandwiches are small. Its not a black owned business.
Just stopped by, 1 of the most delicious sandwiches I’ve ever consumed, service was impeccable! Very kind gentlemen, was in & out with barely a wait, you can tell they really care and love there customers which sets them aside from most places, I felt really welcomed and that is a huge plus for me

Today I drive 45 minutes out of my way to get a delicious corn beef sandwiches from D Motown Deli! The sandwiches & fresh pickle on the side taste just like they did when I first start eating them from this place almost 15 years ago, and that’s when I lived 5 minutes away. One of those childhood favorite still close to my heart...D Motown Deli you guys are awesome, never change!!!
Went here the other day and was horrified. The corn beef was the size of a bologna sandwich and costs $8. All they do is slick talk to you and end it with sweetheart. Over charging Russians. Youll get a bigger corn beef sandwich around the corner on Mack and Mt. Elliott at Grandys and its $2.50 cheaper.
I eat a lot of corned beef and this is by far the best value for your money, from proportion to quality, not only in Detroit by the entire Midwest! The owners use to own Esquires which is a 100 year old deli in Detroit west side off of dexter before selling it, they get certain kind of meats that are unavailable to the public each brisket or meat is hand picked and custom made for them from some of the best versatile butchers around the state. place never stops amazing me, there meats are soo fine, ive never had better breads so authentic, soft spongy and moist, I highly recommend d Motown deli over any other deli in MichiganGet a Reuben or a humdinger or a simple corned beef on rye with mustard and Swiss
BEST RUSSIAN DRESSING & 1000 island! Amazing coleslaw ! piled high, stacked! Made to perfection, delicious classic deli sandwiches! I’ve tried / sampled just about everything on the menu from the corned beef, turkey , roast beef, Pastrami and ham off the bone each one is as good as the other or if not better, the corned beef EggRolls are a great appetizer or a quick snack! Great ingredients! Natural products! Organic! Home style! Home made! Quality! Big portions! Hearty!

2022-07-11Meat is always melt in your deal. The corned beef is like butta. Yup I said and spelled that right. The CB egg rolls are really good also. You actually can eat it without cheese and mustard or any added toppings. Thats because the meat is so flavorful and juicy.

2022-07-04I was a little disappointed I was expecting the sandwich to have so much flavor on it and it did not I will say the corn beef Was very soft not fatty or tough maybe it was just a bad day for them the cakes though are to die for

2022-03-03I went there for lunch last week and ordered A d town comb with double corn beef and they put pastrami on my sandwich, when I noticed it was pastrami I spit it out and called the cashier, he he stated that whenever I came back in Id receive my sandwich. Went there two days ago now & they told me I he didnt remember nobody wrote it down and I just got played & to make it worse I was on a 30min lunch break. Totally inconvenienced. Was sick to because it was one of my favorite lunch places to go. Now I can never set foot in there again. If a place treats u this way they dont value their costumers. So long Dtown deli 😔
