Zingerman's Deli really is one of the best restaurants I've ever eaten at. I'm not really that big a fan of sandwiches either.
But it's fricking expensive. $13-$18 for a sandwich and that doesn't include sides or a drink.
Worth it though.

+1 on Zingerman's. A class operation all around, from the products to the people. Go to the Deli, or to the Roadhouse, or the Bakeshop or Creamery...or any of its iterations. And buy some stuff to take home. The cherry chocolate sourdough loaf is easily one of the best breads in the country & it freezes beautifully.

I was hoping to find a place to have a meal and a craft beer or 2, but it looks like getting a sandwich and going somewhere else for a beer is the call. 
I will be there next Sunday. UM has a game on Saturday, so I hope it's not a shitshow in terms of crowds.

I wouldn't do zingerman's. Just my personal opinion, but you may wait in an extremely long line and pay for a sandwich that is way overpriced.
There's tons of bars/restaurants in downtown Ann Arbor. Hopcats is a cool one.
I'd also try Doninick's, but it could get really packed for the football game.
If you're willing to venture a little outside of Ann Arbor, go to Aubree's in Depot Town. Best pizza I've had. There's also another bar/restaurant across the street called Sidetracks that's pretty cool.

I just read that you'll be in town for Sunday. Ann Arbor is busy for game days, but no where near Baton Rouge. You'll be fine on Sunday.

1. Maize n' Blue Deli (less $ than Zingerman's)
2. Wolverine State Brewing Co.(good beers and food)
3. Ashleys (great choice of beers)
4. Frita Badidos (Cuban street food and drinks)
5. Tomukun (casual Asian, noodles,Pho, etc)
6. Knight's Steak House (casual, Midwest meat and
potatoes, generous mixed drinks)
7. Bigalora Wood Fired Cucina (pizza's, etc; cool
place)
Note about Zingerman's: Their food and service are hard to beat. All of their employees are well trained and knowledgable about their food. They take great pride in sourcing the best ingredients. And you pay for it. I eat their from time to time, but their prices keep me from eating their regularly. Enjoy Ann Arbor. It's a great town, especially on a football Saturday. Go Blue!

I'll second frita and bigalora. Ashley's also has a solid beer selection.

If Les Miles posts on here this would be a good time for him to chime in.

Wanted to follow up because I'm always interested in what someone does after recommendations.
We ended up going to Zingermans.
It was very good, and I'd go back, but it is so expensive and long lines. So for me it would be a once a year as an event type place.
Got the corned beef sandwich which was probably the second best I've had. Tried the milk because it came from cows that had names and not numbers. They said "you can really taste the difference!". Well, it was good but it was milk. Not worth $2.50
Great outdoor seating and it was 72 and sunny.
After we went to Wolverine State Brewing. Good beers. All lagers but styled to be like other styles. Not sure how that works, other than I understand that the way lagers are made is different. Did a flight and got the IPA, Pale Ale and Stout equivalents. Maybe someone in the know can chime in about the process.
The bartender had a handlebar mustache and was a bit full of himself. I was thinking "dude, you only pull a tap. You aren't even a real bartender." But it was a great space and I'd go back. They guy wasn't that bad.
And we "snuck into" the Big House
