Mike’s K & G Deli

Ok, so I admit the initial attraction for me was the fact my initials are K & G, but man, am I ever glad I let that little fun-​fact influence me through the doors, LoL.
The sign on the building says, «K&G Deli», so IDK if there’s a ‘Mike’ anymore … doesn’t matter, it’s all good, :). This is what fast-​food in America should be, IMO … down-​home, comfort-​food style cooking, not that processed crap you get at the drive-thru’s. The store also carries all your ‘party-​store needs’ and features «you buy, we fry», but I didn’t take advantage of that … yet.
So anyway, there were so many great selections, I had a hard time deciding and I appreciated the customer service from the guy & gal behind the counter. Got a couple corned beef sandwiches, some rib tips, bacon/​cheddar mashed, and chicken strips (at the suggestion of the counter girl). Forgot to get a side of greens and a side of yams, but like I said, the selection was overwhelming & I was feeling like a kid-​in-​a-​candy-​shop, and I’ll be back anyway, ;).
IDK what I liked better, it all really is that good, :). The chicken strips are lightly breaded, large and made from real chicken … not some processed, ground-​up, cold-​pressed scraps. The rib tips came in a nice, light, flavorful sauce that really let you taste the meat, yum! I love when they leave bits of potato skin in the mash, that’s where all your vitamins are at too, yo’. The corned beef sandwiches were a steal at 2/​$ 6, on an excellent deli rye. There is a difference in corned beefs, and this was definitely of the tasty/​sammichy variety, :).
You gotta’ excuse the pictures, I did intend on taking more, but once I got started into my order, it was all over … you really don’t want to get between me & good food, just sayin’, ;). They were really only for personal reference anyway, so I could remember all the selections, ie catfish, pork chops, turkey/​chicken necks (there’s tons of meat on those bad boys), the ribs, the collards, the yams, the mac & cheese, pizza, lasagna, mixed veggies, baked fish, shrimp, Italian subs, ham & cheese subs … it goes on and on, :). If I were a Jefferson North employee, this would be my place, just sayin’.
I’m up & down Connor pretty regularly (mostly in the summer) and this will be a regular stop, :). Two thumbs up and a street cred multiplier of x2 for those of you keeping score at home (old Ernie Harwell reference for you old Detroiter types). Probably shoulda’ gave ‘em a five, it’s that good.
:)

ABSOLUTELY visit this hidden gem (inside K & G party store) if you want that soulful taste of home cooking. .I have never gone wrong eating from here. .From the Turkey legs to the Pig Feet it’s ALL good. .prefect for a Sunday dinner or work lunch (although you will be sleepy after eating).They give you the money’s worth..

This place is a hidden oasis of grandmama’s homemade soul food cooking. I was overwhelmed with the mouth watering choices behind the glass. I ended up choosing the Mac N Cheese, Cheese Broc, and Chicken Drumlets.
I chose the Mac N Cheese because I’m pretty picky with it… I know that sounds ass backwards but the slight chance I do find «the one» I always try the Mac N Cheese. This time, I’m sooooo glad I did. The text was perfect. Was creamy thick, but not too thick. It has a perfect crunch from being backed. The flavor was awesome. Definitely down south style prep.
The chicken was. A great crisp cooked the perfect amount of time. I had a mix of spicy and regular. The spicy was great. I always say things can be a bit more spicy but this was a great medium for anyone to enjoy. The chicken tasted well prepared. Didn’t have a freezer taste.
The cheese broc was mediocre. Could have been better but could have been worse. The broc could have been seasoned a bit better.
All in all, this was a hole in the wall gold mind. It is actually in side of a liquor store, so let’s be honest lol. The perfect place to get a bottle and get dinner to go with it.
Must try!!!

ps: a side note… please don’t go to K & G looking for healthy «soul» food. It does not exist. Thank You :)
