Mudgie's Deli
1300 Porter Street Detroit, MI 48226
313-961-2000
Mudgie's is another fine establishment located in the Corktown area of Detroit. Located on Porter Street about 1 block west of Most Holy Trinity Church, Mudgie's has been in business for about 5 years. This part of Corktown has several blocks of nicely restored late 19th/early 20th century houses. Drive around this neighborhood before or after visiting Mudgie's for a nice view of one of the better areas of Detroit.
The interior is a mix of early and mid 20th century decor. Tables are 50's style and the chairs are classic Eames fiberglass.
Mudgie's has an extensive menu that features locally products, including Better Made Potato chips and McClure's pickles. Besides standard deli menu fare, they also offer a 'Comfort Food' Dinner Menu featuring standards like Roast Turkey and Meat Loaf. On Sunday's Mudgie's has a brunch menu, I have not visited Mudgie's during brunch, but their entrees look interesting.
Among the items on their deli menu that I have sampled is the Lockwood and That's Jared (menu items have a local Detroit theme). Both were very good. Mudgie's is also know for their soup; I recently sampled their outstanding Cream of Pumpkin soup. This year, Mudgie's has added beer & wine and have a very good selection of both including several local micro-brews. You can't go wrong with a sandwich and a bottle of Atwater Dirty Blonde beer.
Since the Corktown area is a growing 'Go To' area of Detroit, Mudgie's fits in well with their atmosphere and great food and drinks. I recommend visiting Mudgie's when one is going downtown for an event or if you have a knack for great deli fare (voted Best Deli in Wayne County for 3 straight years).
