Mudgie's is one of the more well-known delis in Detroit, and there's a reason for that: it's been voted best deli four years in a row (2010-2014). Located in Corktown, it roasts its own meats in the restaurant, and uses local products whenever possible; the restaurant also recycles and composts. You can even get Mudgie's food delivered to you if you're in the "downtown proper," Wayne State, Medical Center or New Center area of Detroit. Mudgie's serves a brunch, lunch and dinner menu, as is most known for its deli sandwiches.
