Rabauts Cafe
We are an old-fashioned Mom-and-Pop restaurant, with Colleen out front and Chris in the back. We specialize in healthy, fresh, tasteful food that is easy on the wallet. We are small, but have a full menu including subs, grilled sandwiches, wraps, vegetarian, and Italian. Our customers all have their own favorites, so the menu seems to have kept growing over our years here on E. Warren.

We also do catering- Party Subs, Deli trays, Fruit and Vegetable trays, etc.
Services
Chris graduated from Michigan State University with a degree in Hotel/Restaurant Management. He was a general manager and then a district manager before him, and his wife, decided to take the plunge and open their own restaurant back in 1994. Chris told his wife, Colleen, that he would only need her to help him for the first 2 years but all of these years later she is still there at his side assisting in all the day-to-day operations.

A good spot for sandwiches. It's been here for a long while now.

I have ordered some sandwiches for my parents from here before. The cucumber and cream cheese with shallots sandwich on pumpernickel bread is my step-dad's favorite. The tuna melt is my mom's favorite. I have had their Turkey Rueben before. Good sandwiches and good services too.

Open for carry out only and open from 10AM-4PM.

Amazing soups and sandwiches. I always know everything is fresh and cooked correctly. Great place for soups in the winter, especially when your not feeling great, quiet place to sit while waiting for takeout.

A super nice family owned restaurant that is always clean inside with a varied menu and plenty of parking. I love the turkey Dijon sub sandwich with chips and pickles on the side. Nobody else makes it to order this good.

A good friend recommended this place to us some years ago and we have been coming here for lunch since. It is a small and intimate place with one table outside.
What makes this place special is the friendly people that work here and the fact the food is always fresh.
They have sandwiches galore and some of them have names of the people that created the, They also have salads and each day they have at least two special soups.
I usually get the deli ciabatta and it is always delicious. All the sandwiches come with a choice of chips or carrots and celery.
They also have fresh cookies baked every

Nice quaint restaurant tucked just off of Mack. I didn't even realize it was there until a co-worker introduced me to it. They had a good looking menu with sandwiches, wraps, and salads for the most part. They also had a vegetarian section on their menu which was nice to see! I forget the name of the wrap I got from the vegetarian section, but it had pineapple in it and it was delicious! Prices were great as well, my wrap and chips were only about $7.

This place is awesome. I found it randomly one day, and im so glad. I used to live in this neighborhood and nothing is healthy or fresh like this place unless you go to Grosse Pointe. Now I live about 45 mins away but crave this place, anytime im in the area I go. I suggest the unifier sandwich.

Have no clue what that 2 star review is talking about the owners are so nice, and they are good people. They pray before they eat I noticed.

This place is Great. Family owned and a friendly staff. It is a small restaurant so if its packed there is outside seating or carry out. Everything is made from scratch so that's a bonus. The Hard Salami sub is where its at, get it toasted. Forget subway, quizno's, etc. this is the place to go for a good Italian sub

I was pleasantly pleased to try this hidden gem everyone has been telling me to go to for so long. My kids just LOVED it and that wish that we go here for lunch every day. Food was great the kids had the grilled cheese and I had some turkey nut sandwich that was amazing. WILL BE BACK highly recommended.

Rabaut's is our go to restaurant for hundreds of volunteers each year. The first question they ask the next time they come is "do we get to eat at that great restaurant again?" We have brought literally thousands of people to this great place with constant rave reviews. There are wonderful, creative sandwiches and a great mix of people. It's our favorite place. Go Rabaut's!
