If I were rating this placed based on its competition, I would give it 5 stars because it is by far the best place to eat in Pinoconning. Â The service is friendly and attentive, the sandwiches are delicious and use the local cheese in creative ways. Â It is also clean and well-maintained. Â A lovely place to grab a bite.
Review Source:A welcome alternative to small-town diner fare -- the salad and sandwich menu isn't extensive, but there's something for just about anyone (except perhaps any poor vegans who've inadvertently wandered into the Cheese Capital of Michigan) . There's also a trio of daily soups, a small salad bar that's offered as a menu choice with a cup of soup, and...a pocket bar open for evening dining. When we visited my partner and I had, respectively, a Reuben and a California club (basic club sandwich with turkey and avocado, with a special herbed mayo dressing), and a cup of loaded baked potato soup. I can't say it was the most delicious or creative sandwich I've ever had, but it was pretty darn good. (And you have a choice of about a half-dozen breads to envelop your sandwich fixins'.) The soup was terrific. There's patio seating too, for warm-weather months. Prices are very reasonable. Â Pinconning is a struggling town on Michigan's less prosperous Lake Huron side, so it's good to see a restaurant succeeding here by offering something a little bit more "big city."
Review Source:Thanks to the previous review of this place in Yelp, we decided to get off I-75 at Pinconning Road rather than exist a couple miles later at US23 like we normally do. Â Good decision!
We were traveling and needed dinner, so we thought we'd try and find someplace local. Â The previous review actually said they were closed for dinner but it's not true! Â This deli is open until 9pm every night and was a REALLY pleasant surprise.
In an area where good food would be a VERY long shot, this place does it's best to deliver high quality sandwiches, soups, and salads in a modern coffee house type atmosphere. Â It's spacious and has a great outdoor sitting area. Â The vegetarian options are slim (after all "Deli" usually means "lots of meat on bread") but their menu was fantastic anyway. Â As an extra bonus, local Pinconning Cheese is available on most sandwiches and, boy is it tasty! Â The food probably isn't 4-star quality by most standards, but because the quality was unexpected in this area, it earned an extra star as the best place around. Â As a side note, they also have a large room that can be used for bigger groups or parties.
The prices were very good (about $6 for a big deli sandwich) and the food was more than passable. Â Mostly, we were surprised to find a place like this in a small town like Pinconning. Â But, it's apparently no secret...the place was crowded for dinner while the rest of the town looked semi-dead.
We'll absolutely make this a regular stop when we need lunch or dinner and are passing by.
It was a chilly day and I didn't really need a big meal but had been told this was a good place to eat so I just came in and ordered a bowl of broccoli-cheddar soup and a coffee.  It was just what I needed to get me on my way with a warm tummy!  If you're in town, this is a good place for lunch, but they aren't open  late enough for dinner.
