I've lived near Noah's for a long time but have never made any stops here for whatever reason. I've been there twice now this year (2015). Im upset with myself for not trying this place earlier in my life. My first stop was for lunch. Picked up a Reuben. Loved it. Second stop was for breakfast with the wife. Pretty good. And very cheap. We each had an omelette with hash browns and toast plus 2 coffees. Our bill was about $18. We're used to paying around $30 for breakfast. Couldn't beat it. Friendly staff. Small place. Very convenient.

As you drive buy, you may wonder how this dumpy little diner on the corner is still open. I can think of three great reason. 1) Great sandwiches! The corner beef is the best! 2) Quick, friendly service! Make you feel comfortable; like you've been a regular for years. 3) A tie. Great corned beef hash & delicious homemade soups. This little gem ranks right up there with any deli in town,

Best Corn beef Dinty Moore I have had... Amazing!!! It is the best corn beef in town, bread is perfectly toasted, service is good, waitstaff are nice and friendly.

I hate writing this review because I love the food. I had a beyond unprofessional run in with the owners daughter. Let me start by the way she was dressed. She had extremely tight grey leggings on that seemed inappropriate for a family dining experience. When we finished eating we waited about 10 minutes and finally asked for our bill. The cool shouted to the owners daughter that we wanted our bill. Then instead of getting our bill she walked over to take a gentleman a order who said he wasn't ready yet. So she stood there until he was ready instead of grabbing our bill. I then asked her again for my bill and she gave me attitude saying she knows. So she then shouted my total to me instead of bringing me my bill. After that treatment I had no intention of giving her a tip. As I was leaving she started complaining in front of customers that I didn't tip her. I heard her and said that I didn't tip her because she was rude and disrespectful. She came out the the building yelling at me because I didn't tip her. I can't believe that someone who owns a business would act that unprofessional in front of customers and then actually confront a customer in a threatening way all because she didn't get a $3 tip. Very petty and sad to see that. People if you want horrible disrespectful service by all means go there. The food is great but the people are beyond unprofessional. They are more concerned about making $3 instead of customers being happy with their service.

I have had Noah's numerous times, unfortunately the service from this past visit surpassed the delicious chili they make. On a positive note the chili is delicious On a honest note the service is lacking proper manner and grace towards patrons.

Great homemade CB hash, one of the best I have had. Would be 5 star if the coffee was a little more to my liking. Beware in winter as it can get pretty cold with people coming and going through the front door. Waitstaff was friendly on top of coffee refills. Will be back for my CB hash cravings.

I had eaten in this little coffee shop deli years ago several times and really liked it and their homemade pies. Recently, I revisited it while having the Buick dealer across the street do some service on my vehicle. I had breakfast and it was just perfect. I had the Noah's special which consisted of eggs medium, bacon, hash browns, rye toast and coffee and it was 10 on a 10 scale. Eggs were cooked just perfect, the bacon was a tad thicker than normal and cooked perfectly crispy, the hash browns were cooked without any after taste which you get in some places, toast was perfect and buttered with my choice of orange marmalade and several cups of good coffee. Must remember to take my car to that same dealer again to savor the food across the street.

We decided to try this place after reading the good reviews on Yelp. I ordered a turkey sandwich, which was pretty good. Jacob had the roast beef and said it was a little bland, but he spiced his sandwich up with a little Italian dressing. The prices were reasonable and the service was great. Jake and I both agreed we'd come back to try their other sandwiches and all the other goodies on their menu.

This place is a hidden gem in dearborn. Save yourself the overpriced trip to Zingerman's in Ann Arbor and try Noah's Deli. Only counter seating, but the ladies behind it take great care of you while you're trying to get your mouth around one of the huge and delicious sandwiches. I recommend the Noah's Double Trouble. Delish!

This place is pretty cool. I went here with 4 co worksers and used a groupon. They have a giant u shaped bar that everyone eats at. I got a supersandwitch (or something like that) it was good but i think i would have been better with a different sandwitch. I will be back again.

This place is so close to a 5 it's ridiculous. My friend knows I'm somewhat of a food snob, and figured he'd take me here. While most may be leery of this "type" of joint, it was right up my alley. AMBIANCE- this place is all stools surrounding a horse shoe counter. The place is typically busy, so you need to grab a seat where you can (yes, this may require you to sit next to a stranger). A real diner feel to this place, it's not fancy, but it'll do you right. SERVICE- the women working behind the counter are super friendly, and I have typically seen them chatting up the regulars that come into this place. What's nice about them is, even if its your first time, they make you feel like a regular. And amidst all the chaos, they seem to keep their cool pretty well. MENU- sandwiches, sandwiches, sandwiches. It's a deli, what do you expect. They serve breakfast until 11am, and I always seem to get there just after the fact which is so sad. No matter though, the sandwiches here are the star (as they should be). They have a few soups, and some salads (maybe). They also have a dessert of the day, which when I went was Peach Cobbler. More on that later. Most sandwiches are anywhere from $6-$8 dollars. FOOD- My co-worker recommended the both the corned beef and pastrami. But how does one choose between the two. It's like asking what's my favorite kind of bacon. Fortunately there is a sandwich that combines the two- Double Trouble, and it is magnificent. And while the sandwich was more than enough for me, I felt like indulging a bit more and got the peach cobbler. ROCKIN'! Sure I was uncomfortable for most of the day, but it was totally worth it. OVERALL- best corned beef I've had in the Dearborn area, hands down. I've been back a few times, and they are consistently exquisite. Check this place out if you've got a hankering for some corned beef or pastrami. CELEBRITY RATING- Ndamukong Suh

Noah's corned beef is as good as it gets. Pair it up on grilled rye with a little Russian dressing and it's sandwich Nirvana. Sit at the counter for the added bonus of being in a very, old school place.

I've only been once so far, and the three stars is really just because of the sandwich. I had a roast beef on rye and it wasn't *bad*, it was just surprisingly plain. I had to put some mayo on it and even dip it in italian dressing to pep it up before it had any flavor. The service was excellent though. Very attentive and friendly. The chili was pretty good, especially after a little Frank's. Prices were very fair. And I absolutely loved the charm of the place. The little horseshoe bar and tight diner feel made it fun. I love places like that. I'll definitely go back to try something else, and I'm confident that it'll be better.

Fantastic sandwiches. Huge like deli sandwiches should be. My favorite Rueben so far. have not found one that I like nearly as much anywhere else. One of the best burgers I have ever had. Might be the best I ever had. Tough call. I would certainly pick it over Miller's in Dearborn and that's saying something. I have had most of the sandwiches on the menu including the coney dogs and everything is excellent. Waitress' call you "Honey". What more do I want. This place may be the place I would go to for a "last meal". No French Fries here but who cares.

Stacey W.
Noah's Deli is awesome. I haven't had a bad experience there. I really like the horseshoe counter. The sandwiches are huge and everything I've tried is really yummy. I highly recommend getting a side of potato salad with your sandwich, it's so good! SO GOOD!

First time here with the hunny, and I would most definitely go back. It's small, and only sitting area is counter space, no table, and they do close early and fill up fast. They do a lot of take out business. The only thing i did not like was that they did not serve fries. They only serve chips and potatoe salad. But chips are only .75 cents. But the sandwiches are amazing!!!! They sandwiches are huge thats why the slightly larger price tag, but the meat quality is great also why the slightly higher price tag. Traditional Dinty moores, Rubens, etc. Right here in Dearborn off Michigan Ave.

Whether you're here for breakfast or lunch, you will not be disappointed. I used to drive out to Zingermans in Ann Arbor for a corn beef sandwich... and I can't believe I've been missing out on Noah's this whole time. I stop by at least once a week to either get the corn beef omlette with American cheese, light onion with grilled rye or I'll have Noah's "Double Trouble" which is corn beef, pastrami, coleslaw and sauce on grilled rye. There's a reason why this place has been around since the 70s and you'll know why once you take your first bite.

BEST CORNED BEEF SANDWICHES EVER! Hands down one of the best corned beef sandwiches I have ever had. The place is a small, quaint joint where everyone eats around a sit up bar. Great food and good experience - frequented by Ford Motor employees. I recommend the Double Trouble.

Kellie B.
Surely there are more people out there that are digging Noah's Deli! Awesome freshly brined and sliced cuts of corned beef. Stacked high on your choice of roll. And the cashier has a knack for remembering names. Went there once and for the next 3 years she always remembered my name and what we chatted about last time. Small cozy diner atmosphere. I always get carryout. Big sandwich served with crunchy pickles, get ready to share there is so much, or burrow your other sandwich half way in the back of the refrigerator and warn everyone "hands off get your own!' Like I do.

Almost any sandwich can taste great when using quality bread, which makes most deli's a slam dunk business when done right. Aside from good bread, and a great Reuben sandwich. There isn't much else going on at Noah's. I rarely share my reviews or opinions on a restaurant unless I am pretty confident about what they have to offer. At first my visits were pretty frequent after discovering their Reuben sandwich. However, after trying other items on their menu I was not impressed to say the least. The soups lacked flavor, you can find meatier and more flavorful chili at Wendy's, their hamburger meat was inconsistent, and the food in general lacked proper seasoning. Aside from their Reuben and Corned Beef sandwiches, Noah's Deli is nothing more than a glorified diner. On their website one can find a small description on the deli's history and new owner saying, "Teresa Bolan has brought her charm and ever loving personality back to the place where she loved working as a waitress, providing you the courtesy and fun, along with the best food and service that you deserve." My experience has greatly differed from this on more than one occasion. Without entering into too many specifics my only comment is this, at no point is it ever acceptable to single-out, or snap at a customer. It alienates the customer, and it makes the establishment look biased; not saying anything revolutionary here, just common sense.

Hmmm.....the size of the sandwiches might have something to do with the lack of reviews.....they've definitely gotten WAAAAY smaller. There is no way on earth there's enough to share, unless you're a very small eater - or maybe I just went on the cooks bad day. Either way, there are plenty of other sandwich places I rather go to than here. The two corned beef sandwiches I've had there both were gristly..... UPDATE: I will be making another visit, just to be on the fair side. Normally - the reviews I've given have been to places we've been numerous times. This is the exception. So I'll withold judgement until my next visit....(you never know - EVERYONE has a bad day!)

I can't believe that no one has written a review for Noah's yet. Granted it's been about 2 years since I've been there due to relocating to the Northwest but Noah's had some of the best sandwiches I've ever had in the Metro area. My personal favorite was on a cold winter's day, a Dinty Moore with a bowl of soup. Granted it would run me about $15 but it was enough food that I didn't have to eat again until lunch the next day. Huge portions and it was oh so good. It got crowded during lunchtime so if you can adjust your lunch to earlier or later so as to miss the rush I'd recommend it. I usually tried to go after 1:30 and it was heaven every time.

More like a 4.5 than an even 4 stars. Characteristics of a classic greasy spoon: 1) Setting: Noah's has got a subway tile floor, stainless steel spin-stools, all-counter seating, specials handwritten on a board by the door. Check. 2) Wait staff: Friendly. They call just about anyone "honey." And they'll talk to you, not grunt. Check. 3) Classics on the menu: A selection of deli sandwiches (hot or cold-your choice), chili, soup special of the day, half sandwich/half soup combo option. French fries. Check. 4) Quick service but not rushed: Check. 5) Bells on the door that clang when you enter: Check. The reason why Noah's doesn't quite hit the 5 of 5 stars: Of all the times I've been there every once in a while I'm disappointed by my selection. It's a diner. I'm not being overly picky. But the grilled cheese disappoints and some of the sandwich meats can be grizzly at times (if that bothers you). Some have said that the entrees are a little disappointing (versus going with one of their usually excellent sandwiches) - but I can't verify that. This isn't a sit down restaurant. It's an "in and out" kinda place dripping with local flavor and not a McFastFood joint. No national chain dryness, no commercialization. Just a classic American diner that could be located in Paramus New Jersey, Clearwater Florida, Oakland California or Sugarland Texas. Well, maybe not Sugarland...I don't recall any BBQ on the menu. But they do have chili.
