Easily one of the best Delis in Traverse City. They are fast and reliable. It is locked downtown and is great for dine in or take out.

IMO, this is just another deli that happened to serve some hot sandwiches as well. You place your order by circling what you want on the ordering notepad and you hand it to the «chef». I had a turkey Parmesan sandwich. It’s turkey, tomato, lettuce and Parmesan dressing. It was good and made me full and it was only $ 5.50. Not bad. We originally chose Chef’s In because of its outdoor seating, there turned out to be 2 small tables outside, but I guess that still counts. Your view is the strip mall parking lot. Yay! This may be a better place for you if you like cold deli sandwiches, but since I’m more of a hot food person, if I were ever to go back, I supposed I’ll try the grilled cheese with turkey instead.

Stopped in for a bite after hitting up a few of the wineries on the peninsula. I split a cheeseburger and a ham sandwich with a friend. They were both absolutely delicious! I loved all the options available for the sandwiches. I also tried the potato and beef soup, and it was also great. The service was nice and friendly, and had some good suggestions for shopping afterwards. My only real complaint is in the value department — it’s expensive for what you get ($ 6+ for sandwiches, not including a drink or any sides).

DELISH! The hubs enjoyed TWO cheeseburgers and I had the turkey rueben! He loved his cheeseburger so much, he literally went back and ordered a second. Best way to a man’s heart? Through his stomach… Nice, fresh salad bar (that I didn’t try) and the soup options looked tasty!
Chef’s In is also attached to a wonderful market with LOTS of cheeses, olives, wines etc.

Best sandwiches in TC. First time I took my Son her he had the rueben and said it was the best one he’d ever eaten. I always get the chicken sandwich and its amazing everytime. The rolls are amazing and after 16 years of coming here, I’ve never had a bad meal. Thanks and i’ll be back next week.

This is my favorite lunch spot in Traverse City. I like the fresh salad bar, and that you order your sandwich by checking off items on a paper menu card. You can order hot or cold sandwiches. I usually get a turkey or beef pastrami sandwich on the Italian bread. Their chili is great and prices very reasonable.

Cheff’s Inn is a favorite of my wife and I’s because of one treat.
Hot-​Ham-​n-​Swiss sandwich. O so good. Fresh home made sandwich bread. Grilled ham and melted cheese. Add a cherry coke and your good to go.
Now other than that, everything sucks!
The staff is usually pretty moody, although they have started to become a bit more personable.
There is no refills on fountain drinks. Ugh. Come on meow! I know how much fountain syrup costs, your not going to go out of business giving me an extra shot of Cherry Coke.
Nothing else on the menu is really that appetizing, so we never stop in unless we have a craving.
The parking is probably the worst part of it all. They share a parking lot with several other great local businesses, and you have to fight to find a spot.
If you want hot ham and swiss and your down town, stop by. If not, keep going.
