OC Restaurant Quest: Pickles & Rye Deli in West Bloomfield
(Crystal A. Proxmire, April 22, 2023)
West Bloomfield, MI – As we sit in this pocket of cool Michigan weather, it seems a good time to write about the warm and comforting goodness of the Stuffed Cabbage at Pickles & Rye Deli.
This lovely meal of meat and rice cooked in a cabbage leaf with a bright tomato sauce went perfectly with the mashed potatoes and sliced carrots. This hearty meal was a delicious lunch. I also took home some fresh baked onion rolls and a slice of cinnamon coffee cake.
Pickles & Rye has a menu with breakfast, lunch, and dinner items.
In the mornings one might enjoy banana pecan multi-grain pancakes, a “Super Nova” scramble, or a Norwegian omelette made with Nova lox, green, onion, and goat cheese, among many other breakfast choices.
For lunch there are a number of soup, salad, and sandwich choices. For example, the Bloomfield Plaza sandwich has corned beef, roast turkey, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on rye. Avocado toast has smashed avocado, tomato, spring mix, goat cheese, balsamic drizzle, on 9-grain toast. And the Chicken Bella panini has grilled chicken breast, mozzarella, and marinara on sourdough bread.
In addition to sandwich there are burgers and dogs, like the Swanky Franki which is a quarter pound Kosher dog wrapped in hickory smoked bacon, stuffed with Hoffmann’s super sharp cheddar cheese, bun and pickle.
Another great option is the “Designer Salad” section where visitors can chose their favorite type of greens, toss in six add-on items, add a protein, and pick a dressing. After 4pm guests can savor dinner items like oven roasted turkey, roasted half chicken, and meatloaf.
Pickles & Rye has carryout service, seats for dining in, and catering. They are located at 6724 Orchard Lake Rd in West Bloomfield. Check out the full menu online at https://picklesandryedeli.com.
