Maize Blue Deli

I didn't like pastrami before I got a #18 Where's Bo? (pastrami, white cheddar, green bell pepper, onions, mayo, and a fried egg on fried challah bread). Sandwiches come with half a pickle. Get a Dr. Brown's while your here too. Life changing.

Ok. I'll admit my bias upfront. I've been a fan of U of M since I was 12 yrs old. To find myself in The Holy Land, eating at a place named after the school's colors (on a beautiful sunny day no less), might, just maybe, have influenced my thinking. Now you know. And I was wearing a Michigan shirt at the time.I was actually directed to the place by a sorority girl I gave a ride to. Thank you, Rachel!The woman behind the counter seemed bored, her interactions with myself others seemed forced.There is outside seating but I stayed inside where it was very quiet. A TV in the corner, with ESPN on, was easily listened to 10 ft. away.The menu is massive! My #8 was fabulous though it took a bit longer to get than I expected. But it was worth the wait.I can definitely see coming back should the forces of nature deem it good. Assuming I can find parking. Vegetarian options: There are a few non-meat items, i.e., salads and one veggie sandwich Parking: Good luck ??Street parking is $2.20/hr, coin or card Wheelchair accessibility: Good amount of room

Just a great sandwich shop. I typically go with a Where’s Bo but I can say I have tried many others and they all are equally delicious. Family owned and operated, which means they care about quality, quantity, and service and you can surely tell.Store is filled with cool memorabilia and signatures of countless Univ of Michigan athletes. Parking can be tough with it being on the heart of campus so plan accordingly if trying to pick up an order.

I tried the side order of chicken salad, it was a half a cup of chicken salad for 9 dollars AND the chicken in it tasted like it was leftover, unsold dry chicken from days prior. We purchased 5 sandwiches, 4 of them were fine but one had literally two tablespoons of meat in the middle of it leaving the rest of the sandwich just sauce and lettuce, the initial presentation of the sandwich was deceiving and overall this sandwich was not worth 14 dollars. Honestly, none of them were. It's sad remembering how big, how great, and how much of a deal Maize Blue sandwiches used to be... Now it just seems they're chugging along on nostalgia and profit.

Love the pickles here and love the reuben sandwiches even more, never had a bad reuben here. My only complaint is that I've tried the chicken salad twice and both times it was super dry and bland, not to mention it was 9 dollars for a tiny container. Stick to the sandwiches and fries for a good meal here.
