Fantastic New York Style Deli and Diner in Mid Michigan-State Side Deli

You walk into the Okemos location of State Side Deli and you feel like you are in a New York Diner. We were greeted by the owner, a very sweet woman, who told us to sit wherever we would like.  My daughters loved that we got to pick own seats.  The menu is fantastic!  You can order breakfast all day!  I would have, if I hadn't had breakfast for dinner the night before.  The rest of the menu is a combo of diner and deli food; Corn beef sandwiches, soups, salads, burgers.  There wasn't an item on the list I didn't want to eat.  I knew exactly what to get my son, the BLT, his all time favorite sandwich.  They have a kids menu so one of my daughters was set with the kids chicken tender meal.  My other daughter surprised me by ordering the chili in a bread bowl!  I love her sense of adventure.

We got fried pickles to start!  I was so excited to see that they had them.  Very few places do.  They were so good!  They were crispy and seasoned well.  I really dislike mushy fried food so these made me very happy!  They come with a ranch dipping sauce because who doesn't love to dip!

My picky one got her chicken strips and I prayed she liked them.  She said, "Mommy these are real chicken, you have to try them"!  She actually ate two of them!
That is huge! Guess she liked them.

The bowl of chili was a success too!  I was worried at first, because it looked nothing like my chili and you know how kids are, but she said "Mommy that looks so good"!  She was right!! And it tasted good too!!

I went for the big prize, and a local favorite,
The Price Is Right.  Really that is the name!  What a sandwich it is!  Corned beef and pastrami with swiss and coleslaw on grilled rye!  Totally New York and perfect!  I actually ate the whole thing!  Don't judge me, please!  It was so good!!! Moist corn beef and spicy pastrami with creamy coleslaw on warm toasted rye, awesome good.

Just as we were finishing up, my girls discovered that they had smoothies.  Well that is a semi healthy dessert so why not.  This was really the icing on the cake (or lack there of) for my girls!  They loved this place!

After my son had his BLT, he agreed.  Extra thick bacon in abundance!  He had half for dinner and was super excited to have the other half for lunch today.  We were all happy at State Side Deli and will be headed back soon for breakfast!
