Bub and Pop's is a cozy spot that specializes in crafting delicious hoagies and unique pickles, as well as offering soups and salads. Chef Jon Taub has put his own spin on the classic roasted pork sandwich by using porchetta, which involves wrapping the belly around the leaner loin and adding fennel seeds, crushed red pepper flakes, salt, Pecorino Romano cheese, and garlic before roasting.
Still my favorite sandwich spot in DC! Just tried out the new location for the first time, and I will be a regular here. Truly the value you get with this enormous, fresh, delicious sandwich is unmatched. Got the Italian hoagie and it was as good as ever. The new space is also huge — inside and outside. Service was super friendly and quick! Not a lot of places doing it like Bub and Pop’s in DC, especially during a trying time for DC restaurants. Support local!

We tried this for lunch. We were looking for a good sandwich shop. We were visiting & doing a little sightseeing. We decided on the Tuna Sandwich with all the toppings. It was huge! Lots of tuna salad on the bread along with greens, cheese, tomatoes, & pickle relish. We tried their potato chips & French onion dip with them. Everything was good. There was patio outdoor seating. Lots of indoor seating was available. We would go try them again. This seemed to be a new location.

So underwhelmed. I was excited to try this place after reading reviews and a referral from a friend. For an almost $26 I expected it to wow me! This is the first place I had to pay for the basic toppings like lettuce and tomatoes on a sub. I paid for hot peppers that weren't hot! Marios and Al's subs have them beat all the way for significantly less money.
Sheila G — Google review
Absolutely MASSIVE sandwiches, I got the Italian Grinder WITH extra provolone and it only came out to $20 or so after tax. Sandwich was super tasty! No wait for seats, lots of open bar space, and open pool tables as well. Staff was very friendly and made sure I was taken care of. I gotta come back for happy hour, as it’s $5 beers! Would absolutely recommend. Come hungry! (Review made 9/5/25 at 4:15 PM)

THIS PLACE IS SO COOL! So unexpected, there’s a whole arcade and bowling and everything! I thought this was gonna be a cute little sandwich shop, but it is much more than that! I will definitely be coming back here for an evening out!

Could be a great spot but it has some issues. They were out of wings at 12:30pm on a football Sunday. They were playing sound out of multiple TVs all on different channels right next to each other so you couldn’t really hear anything that well. And they didn’t have any glassware, just small plastic cups. Hopefully they’ll fix some of it because the food and space is great.

Typically, I hesitate to leave a negative review for a small business, as I respond to reviews for small businesses. Still, the leadership team at this establishment should be aware. I live in NoMa and have ordered cheesesteaks from here twice before, but the bread is not toasted, so the sandwich quickly gets soggy. There is no online option to request toasted bread, so I walked over (passing five sandwich shops) to B&P to place a takeout order. I inquired with the very polite hostess, and she thought that the option to have bread toasted was on the kiosk. But I told her it wasn’t. She looked and could not find it. Then she spoke to another hostess, who told me the chef would probably not do it, but she would ask. So she goes in the back and asks the chef, and he refused to toast the bread. This is the insanity. How is a business that sells sandwiches - known for sandwiches -  and you refuse to toast the bread? 🤦🏽‍♀️ As basic as Subway is, they toast their bread. So I was going to proceed with the order, although the hostess was adamant that he would not toast the bread. So I asked if I could get the bread on the side. Then I thought about it, there are so many options within walking distance to entertain this foolishness at B&P. There was an establishment directly across the street, and as it is Thursday, at the African stand at the 3rd St farmers market, they toast their sandwich bread. The area is not lacking hoagie options. So I opted not to place an order at B&P, walked less than five minutes away, and ordered a DELICIOUS PoBoy with toasted bread at The District Fish Wife for $13. I live in a building in NoMa with 452 units and a very active tenant group chat. And now I’m gonna tell other people my experience. So if the owners or marketing team are reading this, you need to realize there are way too many options in the immediate area to be this uncompromising about something as basic as toasting bread. Sharing a photo of the sandwich options at The District Fish Wife.

Absolutely legendary sandwich spot in DC. I was so glad to discover they decided to to move locations to Noma! I visited when they first opened this new location so menu options were quite limited, but my sandwich was very tasty despite not being my usual order. Although, I got some serious food jealousy towards my friends who ordered the chicken/eggplant parm sandwiches. Staff were very friendly and the new space definitely has strong potential!! It looks like a great hangout spot.

Sandwich shop
SUNdeVICH is a unique sandwich shop located in a converted garage, offering an array of creative sandwiches made from fresh, local ingredients. Each sandwich is named after a different city around the world, providing a diverse and global culinary experience. The menu features options like the Athens lamb gyro, Havana cubano, and Memphis BBQ chicken sandwich. In addition to sandwiches, they also offer globally inspired salads, sides, and breakfast sandwiches influenced by various international cities.
Blink and you’ll miss it - this small sandwich shop is tucked away in the alleyway, but the selection can rival any major sandwich shop! Fresh, high quality ingredients paired with creative international ideas. The sandwiches may seem pricey, but it’s a ton of food that will make for worthy leftovers. If only there was more seating, as this place seems designed for takeout.

Meal: Lunch Day Visited: Thursday Budget: $20 Closest Station: Convention Center Reservation Needed?: N/A Payment: Cash; Credit Kid Friendly?: Yes English Menu?: Yes Each sandwich is named/themed after a city; very clever. We enjoyed our Beirut and Athens sandwiches. There aren’t really places to eat inside (four awkwardly placed countertop spots), but when it’s warm out, it looks like eating on the benches outside is an option. Service was fine, but not particularly friendly.
Zachary H — Google review
I visited this restaurant yesterday, and unfortunately, it was a disappointing experience. The moment I walked in, the place didn’t feel clean or inviting—but I decided to give it a try based on a recommendation. The food itself didn’t taste good, and to make matters worse, I found a piece of plastic in my sandwich. That was the final straw. I won’t be returning, and I honestly don’t understand the positive reviews.
Marieh A — Google review
HIGHLY recommend. They have so many unique subs, all served on the same perfect bread. It was really hard to decide because I saw at least 5 I wanted to try. One of their regulars who was picking up gave us some recommendations, she said everything was good it just depended on your mood. (Thank you, nice lady!) My husband took her advice and got the kingston jerk chicken sub and I had the Buenos Aires. The steak was cooked to perfection but the jerk chicken was our favorite. The subs are large enough to split but you wont want to. The staff was friendly and very fast. They do have a table inside and bench outside but this a take out place. We will definitely be back next time we are in town.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (Food) ⭐️⭐️⭐️½ (Seating) Hidden Gem Near the Convention Center! SundeVich sits off 9th Street down a small alley — easy to miss but worth finding. Inside, a huge chalkboard lists creative sandwiches named after cities around the world. I had The Kingston, a jerk chicken sandwich bursting with flavor and topped with pineapple salsa and fresh greens — absolutely incredible. The shop is small with one indoor table and a bench outside, great on nice days but tricky in bad weather. Still, 5 stars for the food alone — a must-try for anyone who loves a true sandwich masterpiece!
Tony M — Google review
Solid sandwiches drawing inspiration from a wide variety of cuisines -- I love the premise of eating around the world (or at least the capital cities of the world) through sandwiches. I tried their Cairo, a vegetarian sandwich with fresh herbs, brined veggies, cucumbers, walnuts, and hummus. I opted to turn it into a salad (which I was so grateful you could do with any of their sandwich combos) and added smoked salmon and avocado. The portions are incredibly generous -- I swear they must have added an entire pack of smoked salmon! The ingredients were super fresh, making it an all-around tasty meal.
Sonya H — Google review
Stopped here for lunch after getting in at DCA. AMAZING sandwiches! We got the Lima & the Kingston.
Jake S — Google review
Update: Still a solid choice, but my Buenos Aires, lacked salt and seasoning - but was loaded with meat. Previously: Both locations produce consistently enjoyable and diverse sandwiches. This new location is now establishing Grace Street as a place to go - off the beaten path from M and Wisconsin. The sandwiches are great and the location is fresh and inviting with two other stores that share the space; Grace Street Coffee and South Block. Always feel free to reach out to me on Twitter @joerazz

Deli
Capo Italian Deli is a newly opened eatery located in Cabin John Village, previously occupied by Goldbergs New York Bagels. The menu features classic Italian dishes like Chicken Parmigiano, Hot Italian Beef, and Prosciutto & Provolone. Known for their delicious sandwiches and cocktails, the deli offers cold subs with lettuce, tomato, onion and homemade Italian dressing. Their hot sandwiches such as eggplant parm and meatball sub are also highly recommended.
Capo Deli is one of those rare spots that nails it on every front. By day, it's an Italian-style deli serving up some of the best hot and cold subs around—seriously, you can’t go wrong with anything on the menu. I had the roasted turkey and the Capo Special today, and both were packed with flavor and fresh ingredients. Their sides and desserts are also on point, rounding out the meal perfectly. But Capo isn’t just about lunch. They’re the original makers of the iconic Fauci Pouchy—if you haven’t tried one yet, you’re missing out. And when the sun goes down? That unassuming walk-in cooler door at the back becomes your entrance to a full-blown speakeasy night club. It’s got that “in-the-know” vibe, with great music and a steady flow of drinks. Whether you’re stopping by for a sub or planning a night out, Capo Deli delivers in a big way.
Eric F — Google review
Food: The “sub“ had more bread and lettuce and then meat. The flavor was lacking because you only taste bread and vegetables. Experience in the store : I sat at the counter with my receipt in hand and waited for my order. I noticed that they had drinks in a pouch and considered ordering one but noticed that the two sandwich makers were staring at me. The two sandwich makers started giggling and acted like I intended to steal a drink from the refrigerator. A bouncer walked in, sat in front of me on top of the refrigerator to make a statement. The sandwich makers started laughing louder. I ignored him, he kicked his feet out towards me and I ignored him again. The woman sandwich maker walked outside and gave the order to my partner instead of calling the order out in the store like normal. There is a freezer door that looks like it leads to a speakeasy. The bar area looked tired and quiet. If they make their drinks the way they make their sandwiches, it is not worth the visit. Save yourself the disappointment and find another establishment.
Ma D — Google review
My office loves this place! We order regularly for our lunches, even our clients started to ask us where we get our sandwiches from. The biggest favorites are the California Cheesesteak, The Caprese, and the Capo's Cheesesteak. I recently decided to go with a spinach wrap instead of bread, and it did not disappoint at all! Thank you for being consistently amazing! I saw the reviews about the back bar/ club they have, and I don't agree with assault or violence of any kind. I'm glad I don't have to experience that at all, but no one should ever have to! I would like to add that I've only been there twice, once was for the back bar which I had no issue with (this was also years back before covid) and the other time was for the deli after being at another club. Other than that, I typically order for delivery now. Sad to see so many people upset, hopefully they fix it.
Naomi H — Google review
My food was amazing! My Judy and I drove an hour and a half to get to this deli, and it was so worth that drive. There was not a line to get in. The inside appears small, yet there is a whole club, bar, and sitting area inside to the rear. The deli was very clean, and everything was organized. We were greeted with a warm welcome, and the cashier assisted us in ordering as I'm sure she could tell it was our first visit. She was patient and very kind. I showed her a photograph that I saw on social media, which is what caused me to make that drive. She knew exactly what the sandwich was and began explaining everything that was included. I was soooooo pleased with my visit. The sandwich looked exactly as pictured and tasted even better. I would totally make that drive again to taste all that goodness!

I’m visiting from California and placed an order from Capo through Uber Eats. After waiting for almost an hour, my order was canceled. While waiting for my new order, the restaurant tried to help me figure out what was going on with the drivers. Well after an hour I finally received my new order and a lovely note from Capo with 2 comp chips. Good service still exists. Thank you Capo!
Alicia B — Google review
Our Carry out Order was spot on, ready quickly, everything was correct temp and well packaged. Counter Staff was friendly. We made a mistake on online platform and called immediately and they were happy to correct. We got 3 large sandwiches- chic parm, meatball and Italian. All were very tasty , generous portion sizes, nice flavors. Good bread with lots of sesame seeds— wish it had a bit more chew. Will absolutely go back to Capo. I like my sandwiches moist- Next time I’d request extra red sauce on the meatball and parm and vinegar/oil on Italian.

Looking for late night eats on the weekend? Look no further, Capo serves up deli sandwiches up till 3am! On my recent visit I got a half order of the capicola and provolone. You have a choice of breads, sauces, and toppings. This hit the spot satisfying my belly. I sat up at the front counter and was entertained, watching drunks stumble in and out of the speak easy.

Call Your Mother Deli, originally opened in 2018 in Park View, is a "Jew-ish" deli that quickly gained popularity for its delicious bagels, breakfast sandwiches, and creative pastries. The executive chef draws inspiration from her childhood in Argentina to create unique sweet treats.
Stumbled upon this place during a walk in DC, and I'm really glad we stopped in. The wait was a bit long, but I promise it's worth it. The bagels are genuinely NYC-style, and the place is charming and cozy. It shares a seating area and lobby with the nearby hotel and offers plenty of space to relax and enjoy your morning bagel and latte. Highly recommend!
Parker P — Google review
Looking for a quick breakfast bagel shop while visiting D.C. we came across Call Your Mother Deli. We figured it had to be good when we turned the corner and noticed a line out the door. The decor was very cute, staff was friendly, cold brew coffee was delicious (wish they offered more than one size) and bagels and CYM bangers were delicious. We stopped in every morning while in town and everything was CONSISTENTLY good and even grabbed some bagels for home.

Good atmosphere in the “Truly Yours” hotel. Ate the “Mountainview” sandwich. It has a potato latke, smashed avocado, egg and cheddar and American cheeses. Switched out the plain bagel for an everything bagel. Tasted much better than expected. Would get it again. Service is good. Friendly staff.
C C — Google review
Two separate trusted DC foodies individually recommended me to try Call Your Mother, so I made it a point to queue up a few minutes before they opened on the first day of my conference. The line moved quickly, and the team was fast and professional. The breakfast sandwich was an absolute dream - egg, cheese, and pastrami on a sesame, toasted. Fabulous. So glad I went - highest possible recommendation. Would have gone back on day 2 but the conference itself did provide breakfast.
Ian S — Google review
A must-go every trip to DC. This location is bright and cheery and has a lot of seating optons outside and inside as it’s connected to the Yours Truly Hotel. Breakfast bagel sandwiches are always delicious and coffee beverages are good. I always get the salmon bagel. Really a delicious sandwich loaded with crisp veggies, for $12.
Judy S — Google review
this place was packed and it’s easy to see why. I had the latkes and a pastrami sun city on the gluten friendly yucca bread, both were so so good. I could eat here every day. service was lovely and food was quick to be ready. I appreciate their care in separating the gluten friendly items.

This place was awesome! Very busy and long line, but it moved efficiently and I got my order quickly. I got the Mountain View bagel and a honey oat latte and both were amazing. Food was fresh and coffee was great. This location is definitely buzzing and you might have pay to park then walk a bit.

Maybe I just came at an off time, the staff was very sweet but the service was extremely slow. Overall it was a okay experience, I believe they forgot my coffee and I had been standing there for over 10 mins so I just left it. The bagel was delicious and would definitely order it again. They said they would ‘text you’ when it was done but they just ended up calling the names out for each order. This location is attached to Yours Truly hotel. I would return to this location.

Deli
Vace Italian Delicatessen is a long-standing Italian market and takeout counter in Washington, DC. It's a go-to spot for authentic Italian products, including cold cuts, pizzas, homemade pastas, sauces, imported cheeses, olives, and a selection of wines. The deli has been serving the community since 1976 and is known for its irresistible pizza pies with mozzarella baked into the crust and topped with lightly-sweet tomato sauce.
Vace is a DC institution in my eyes. I enjoy stocking up on the homemade sauces and pastas to store in the freezer. I also like the imported Italian brands they carry. My favorite thing to buy is the pizza dough. It's the best of the best and will hold up in the fridge for several days or more. The staff told me to leave it out for 4 hours before stretching it and topping it. That works well. I may also get a slice to go!
Paula S — Google review
Very good pizza with a nice crunch at a very low price of $2.50 per slice. I liked both the pepperoni and the mushroom slices. However, I felt like the lady who helped us was generally quite rude and seemed annoyed we paid using card for a price barely over the $5 minimum.
Yiran L — Google review
I wanted to like Vace because I know it’s a local institution but it left a lot to be desired. I tried their focaccia cold cut sandwich, meatball sub, and plain slice, none of which were very good. The focaccia tastes like instant yeast, the sub rolls are clearly frozen and par baked, and the slice was extremely mid. Prices are pretty high considering the quality isn’t great. However, what really put me off was the service — everyone behind the counter acts like you’ve offended them by daring to order and are clearly extremely unhappy to be serving customers. It’s a shame because it’s the type of spot where you’d expect friendly service. Also, watch out if you’re buying a tiramisu, because most of the containers are broken and the tiramisu are freezer burned as a result.

Love this place, love that it’s local. Reasonably priced with a very neighborhood feel. Cheapest non-dominos pizza in DC, and tasty. Take home frozen pasta dishes are great too. Service is indifferent, but it just reminds me of New York. No mandated pleasantries. Honestly I kind of dig that. Keep doing what you’re doing.

I also like that they put the sauce on top of the layer of cheese, which gives a different kind of bite that isn't all that innovative when you think about it, but tastes surprisingly fresh (I started doing that on my own mini pizzas I make at home). Speaking of making your own pizzas, the blocks of whole milk mozzarella cheese they sell are really fantastic. So delicious, and I buy one every time I make a stop at Vace's. They are a small, simple Italian pizza place (no dining in, take-out only) selling pies or slices, but also act as a mini market where you can pick up pastas and cheese, plus other Italian goodies. It's really a fairly simple spot that rightfully gets regular business and, in my opinion, should get yours, too. Try them out 🍕🍝🥫 5/5 stars from me 🥰

Fantastic to go meals. Popped in to get some Togo when we were to the zoo - and we will be back. Excellent meals to go. Can’t speak to the service, it was fine. But highly recommend the food.

For 46 years, this Italian market and deli has been making waves in Cleveland Park (and Washington, D.C.). Here's why you should visit: 1) Food: There's a deli in the back that sells Italian subs for under $10 and slices of pizza for $2.50. In an expensive city, it's hard to find a less expensive meal. I ordered a slice of pepperoni pizza. It's thin crusted, but good! 2) Market: They sell all kinds of Italian products from hard-to-get sodas to wines to homemade pasta to all kinds of frozen lasagnas. Cured meats and soccer balls hang from the ceiling. 3) Service: Candidly, it's not friendly and at time abrasive, but it's part of the experience. If you love Italy, wander to Cleveland Park's Vace.

The service is comically bad and almost endearing? I expected it after reading other reviews. The glowing comments about the pizza made me think it was going to be magical but it was just good.

Deli
A. Litteri is an old-school Italian grocery store and deli located in Union Market, drawing foodies with its meatball subs, homemade sausages, and more. The pantry proudly displays the colors of the Italian flag and offers bulk olive oil bottles along with a selection of Italian meats, cheeses, meatballs, chicken parmesan, and small plates. Visitors can enjoy $6 sandwiches filled with delicious ingredients.
I could go on and on about this place! My friend introduced me to it and I haven’t been able to stop going ever since. It’s a must visit if you live in Dc or any neighboring cities, as well as if you’re visiting. The sandwiches are so delicious.

Fantastic rockin grocery store with Italian imported goods and a tasty sub shop in the back that serves both hot and cold subs. Equally as tasty as each other. It’s up to what you’re feeling that day. Chicken parm/fresh turkey sandwich. Don’t do mikes way do Litteri way!

Hands down one of the best chicken parm subs we’ve ever had. $17 for a 12” sub so was very reasonably priced as well. I loved that they had sheets to write your order down and hand to them so no mistaken what you wanted and super efficient. If we didn’t take public transportation we probably would’ve bought more. But we settled for the subs and two slices of cake and some vanilla pizzelle cookies. Two subs fed me and the hubby and our two small kids. We saved the third and split it for a dinner snack when we got home. You can tell this an authentic real deal shop and you won’t regret eating here. This is one of two of the only places we picked to go to go out to eat at while in DC and it was well worth the trip over. Even though it was out the way for what we were doing in DC I would go there again in a heartbeat. HIGHLY recommend stopping here for some food or shopping. The sauce on our sandwiches is like none other than we’ve ever tasted and we loved it. There is a bench across the street which we sat at to eat. Stop and eat here. You won’t regret it.

If you are looking for an authentic Italian grocery in the DC area, this is the place. They have the hard to find items that you’d otherwise have to drive to Baltimore and points north to get. A great selection of olive oils (I prefer Partanna and they have it in several sizes including the big tin). Fantastic wines separated by region making selection easy, including two shelves of beautiful Brunello. Housemade sausage. Hogs casings if you like to make your own. Amazing selection of Italian cheeses (and other European cheeses), bufala, scamorza, and many others. The cold cuts and cured meats selection is fantastic and hard to believe I could get some of these outside of NY. Italian sodas, sfogliatelle (frozen from Napoli!), DOP San Marzanos, stop me now! Thank you A Litteri! I’m soo glad I found you!!

Compliments Only is a sandwich shop located on 14th street, founded by Pete Sitcov and Emily Cipes. Their sandwiches are served on a 10-inch Italian roll, with the option to substitute gluten-free bread for an additional charge. Customers can also choose to have their sandwich served on a bed of shredduce. While some find the prices a bit high, many praise the deliciousness of the submarine sandwiches, such as the Crunchy Boi with salami and garlic mayo.
Ordered them at random because my normal sandwich shop was closed and OMG, absolutely worth it. I had the Vesuvius two first which is in the photo. The meatballs melt in your mouth and the baked cheese is fresh and has tons of flavor. Get a buck for the pickle because the juice explodes. I can’t wait to eat the hot pants Italian sub and crunchy boy later. I could resist trying the others so I opened hot pants next. It is a good Italian sandwich but not spicy at all. Don’t let the name scare you. All the flavors are there, the bread is great and I like it. I wish they could do it hot where the cook the meats and cheese on the bread by baking it like Vesuvius so the oils and grease blend together, then stack the veggies. Other than that it is great.

I had been wanting to try Compliments Only for a while because it had so much hype on social media! The employees were very friendly and the location is cute. I got the Teamster sub, which was very delicious! I personally can’t justify $17 for one sandwich though, especially since the olive oil/vinegar made the bread soggy when I tried to save half for later. They certainly pack a ton of meat and toppings into the subs though, so I can see why it is expensive. I probably won’t be returning unless I am with a friend to split with, but I would still recommend it overall!

Service on a Friday afternoon is quick and simple! I got the farmers market after dark - would consider adding the fresh mozzarella or chips next time. The sandwich was great, as was the bread, but oh my god so much shredduce. Packed to the brim and the peppers bring some really great flavor. It’s the one vegetarian option they have, I would be happy to come back but I’m not rushing.

I have been following this place on social media for a while and waiting patiently for a time to be in DC during the day to try it.

UPDATE - May 2025 Whenever I’m in the area by the Washington Convention Center and looking to grab lunch, Your Only Friend still always comes to mind. Their sandwiches are always good! Decided to dine-in this time on a recent Saturday, and it was packed! We were lucky to get a seat. The service was great. The weekend menu is varied and includes mimosas, migas and a Spam sandwich. Sadly, the ever popular roasted pork Asian-inspired themed sandwich the RPG was sold out, so we went with the turkey sandwich. A tried & true selection. If you want a well-made, flavorful & hearty sandwich, stop by Your Only Friend. It’s a got a pub vibe, a bar and consistently good food. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Your Only Friend is of the best sandwich shops that I’ve been to in a long time. It’s an unsuspecting hidden gem tucked in a pub/bar across from the Washington DC Convention Center in downtown DC. I’ve been a few times and each time had sandwiches that were memorable. The first time my colleague and I split two sandwiches. We got the RPG which was an Asian sandwich with the most flavorful, moist and tender pork belly dressed with an Asian slaw along with a roasted turkey sandwich. Both were tucked into the freshest bread. They also have Mexican Coca Cola, for those who enjoy this version, which I do. If you’re looking for a well-made, delicious sandwich, Your Only Friend is worth becoming a new friend in your foodie circle.

The cocktails were just as fun and thoughtfully made, with unexpected twists that totally worked.

I've been super excited to try this place and had a fine experience overall. The decor inside is really well done and the stained glass over the bar is really cool and fun. The music was a bit loud, but other than that it's a nice atmosphere. The food was good and the Spicy Panes con Pavo was excellent. The sandwiches were big which was great. The cocktails were fine, but more expensive than what they're probably worth. I'm not sure I'd order a cocktail if I go back. The service could use a bit of attention. They don't take reservations and don't really have a system for tracking walk-ins. We were told we'd be seated as soon as a table left, but then watched other people get seated before us. It's also unclear if they have servers assigned to tables or if they all serve all of the tables. Either way, we never got water refilled and waited quite a bit for our check. Overall the food was worth the price, but I feel like they still have a bit to figure out with the drinks and service.

This is like a hidden gem right in front of your face. Staff are so friendly and attentive, the bartender was fantastic, and the food was incredible. We stopped by for lunch last Saturday around 11:30am, with only a few people inside. We sat in the bar area at a table and ordered two cocktails, the Midori Ecto-cooler and Rugbrød, so delicious. Our sandwiches were phenomenal. The Chicky Pep No. 2, special Country Katsu, and a side of onion rings. Mine fell apart with all the good toppings, but it was still amazing. As we were finishing, our server offered us little samples of the Clarified Orange Julius and it tasted just like the real thing. Definitely one of our new favorite spots. Even though I recommend it to everyone, I hope it doesn't get too busy so we can still get a table.

You’re in the right the place when compromising on your order STILL includes 5 sandwiches. My brother and I arrived right at 11 on a Saturday to a flourishing back kitchen and welcoming staff. And, after viewing the open kitchen, we pivoted right. An open room hosting a centered, round bar is where we met our soon-to-be server and our sandwich sommelier. He answered any/all questions then advised we move to a bigger table once we decided on the order. Protip right there... Our order consisted of the following: Chicky Pep No.2, Mort & Mootz, Spicy Panes Con Pavo, The RPG and Gas Station Migos. ‘Migos appears to not yet be a menu staple so that was my first vote. The remaining four were toss-ups yet curated choices. See, I’m not picky but aim for sandwich size. My brother, on the other hand, IS and aims for quality above all. Your Only Friend showcases both. Again, came to the right place. Sandwiches came out one after another in no particular order. Oh, and after the quickly prepared and promptly fried Cool Ranch Dorito’d onion rings. Meant to mention these. Much like every single sandwich were phenomenal. Review over. Really though, there’s no ranking. No comparison. No YOF “favorite” here. Every sandwich from the 5(!) were standouts, worthy of all the glory and praise one could give, well, a sandwich individually. Quality coupled with satisfaction delivered bite by bite made ordering dessert a no brainer. Insert the Atlantic Beach Pie, a custard pie reminding me of a tartless Key Lime one if there ever was such a thing. Well done. While I don’t plan on ordering 5 sandwiches my next visit, I DO plan on returning for cocktails and wings. Oh, and their absinthe pie! Pretty sure it won’t have me hallucinating on how great it is either...

If you find yourself wandering around K Street NW, make sure to pop into Grazie Grazie. This charming eatery offers a fantastic selection of sandwiches and pizzas, all displayed on a large screen that makes ordering a breeze. The interior may be simple, but the food is anything but ordinary! I indulged in their Marathon sandwich paired with waffle fries, and let me tell you—it was one of the best sandwiches I've ever tasted in DC!
There are times when you walk past some place and after a while you take a chance and go inside. Today I went to “Grazie Grazie” located at 1875 K Street, WDC. The store layout is incredible because you know from the start that you’re eating either inside or taking it to go. I placed my order via a very large screen with visual pictures and descriptions of the items. The menu is very vast from pizza to sandwiches. Today I got a “Marathon and Waffle Fries.” This was hands down the BEST sandwich that I’ve had in a very long time. The ingredients were fresh, and amazing cuts of meats and the freshest bread. My Waffle Fries were great, and the entire meal was delicious. This was definitely the first time I’ve been to this restaurant, but it won’t be my last. Enjoy!

We tried to be open minded after hearing mixed reviews. We should have listened… we both got the Philly special it was very dry filled with lettuce onions and tomatoes were on top of the sandwich we asked for grilled and got extra red onion. Asked for extra mayo and I think they forgot. We were also missing the bacon. Sloppy presentation taste and way too many missing ingredients…. Also is was very hot inside

The mozzarella cubes and pizzas are our favorites.

Founding Farmers Nice place to gather after a busy day viewing museums. The location was easy to find. The Labor Day holiday allowed free and easy access to street parking. The restaurant is spacious and inviting with a nice outdoor patio area. Service was prompt and friendly. Their lunch/ dinner menu was quite extensive. I did wish was that the music was toned down in volume. Their menu was quite extensive and the prices seemed about par for the area. The fried green tomatoes was ok, but I would have liked a lighter touch to the batter that was used. I had the Shrimp and Grits, Andouille which was a bit salty and the portion of grits was quite meager. But everyone completed their meal and were well filled. I hear their brunch is quite popular.

We did brunch buffet this past weekend and to he honest it was alright. We went there 11:30sh and most of the food are not getting refilled or they take long to refill. Location: It is located along Massachusetts Avenue. There is a lot of seatings inside and the main buffet spot is in the middle. Service: the guy served us was good. Food: to be honest the food was alright. It is a hit and missed. Most of the food trays are empty so you have to go back twice or trice to check if they refill it which they don’t. My favorites were the ribs, roast beef, beignet which you must get!!! Otherwise other food is generic. Also not much choices for a $45 dollar buffet. Price rating: 9/10. We pay $110 for 2 people including tips. It is probably worth it if they refill food quickly. Will probably not come back for buffet here, maybe regular menu is better.

There were several items that were overcooked (Chinese fried chicken, bourbon like chicken, fried shrimp, the glazed salmon and catfish. Sacha, our server, was great. She was attentive and knowledgeable. We even tried some a la carte items that we did not really care for (the crab dip).

My husband and I stopped here for an early lunch on a Sunday. There were a few groups waiting to be seated at a table when we walked in, but we were able to find some open seats at the bar. It was very lively with the breakfast/brunch bar, but we decided to order coffees and sandwiches. I got a hot mocha with no whip, while my husband ordered an iced vanilla latte. Both were ridiculously good, nice espresso-forward flavors without being overly sweet. The sandwiches look so unassuming (my husband had the pastrami and I had the turkey BLT), but are huge and sooooo good. Hand cut fries were delicious and the onion rings are massive, yet so soft and crispy! Definitely no biting into these onion rings where the whole onion pulls away from the breading. We both were only able to eat half of our meals at the time, but they also packed well to-go and ate nicely after sitting in the fridge for a bit. Definitely a spot we’ll pop into again when we’re in the area!

Succotash is a classy eatery in National Harbor, MD that offers a fusion of Dixie and Asian flavors. The restaurant has a warm and modern design, making it an ideal spot for a romantic dinner. It's known for its inventive menu that combines traditional Southern ingredients with Asian influences. Located near famous landmarks like Mount Vernon and Arlington Cemetery, Succotash provides a relaxing atmosphere to enjoy delicious food while being just minutes away from iconic attractions.
The restaurant is beautiful, and the service was excellent. We ordered the “Taste of the South” menu for two because we wanted to sample as many dishes as possible. It ended up being far more food than we could finish, but we thoroughly enjoyed everything. The flavors were rich and well-balanced—never overwhelming. The cornbread stood out with its perfect mix of heat and sweetness, and I especially loved the green tomato salad. My friend’s favorites were the mac and cheese and the chicken wings. While the dessert wasn’t particularly memorable, the cream with edible flowers was a lovely touch that we both appreciated.

Beautiful restaurant. Nice staff. Lovely ambiance. And while I appreciate fusions and personally love to indulge in a vast array of tastes and flavors, I unfortunately did not enjoy the flavors of my initial dish (fried chicken w/gochujang and blue cheese and ginger broccolini and the alcoholic drink that was their take on peach tea). I love these flavors separately but together they did not work well to me. Manager, Mikayla and the Guest Relations worker were both very accommodating and understanding which I truly appreciated because I am not fond of having to ask for a dish to be returned. I ended up getting the burger with bacon jam and the Waayy South drink and both items were Delicious!!! Another person in my party ordered the shrimp and grits and loved it as well!

Making reservations online was quick and easy. When we arrived, we were seated right away — even earlier than our scheduled time. The atmosphere had a nostalgic charm that I really enjoyed. While the menu had limited options and no pictures, I checked a few reviews beforehand and decided on the ribeye steak entrée, while the kids went with the cheeseburgers. The food did not disappoint! The ribeye was cooked perfectly and portioned generously — I had enough for two meals. The kids devoured their cheeseburgers completely. I left full, happy, and very satisfied with our dining experience.

Stopped by Succotash at National Harbor for happy hour and it did not disappoint! 🍸 The drinks hit the spot and the Everything Platter was a fun way to sample a little bit of everything. The Asian-inspired cauliflower was a standout—crispy and flavorful, it reminded me of a top-notch General Tso’s. And the fried pickles? They absolutely tickled me—perfectly crunchy with just the right tang. A cozy, lively spot with great bites and a vibe worth coming back for. #Succotash #NationalHarbor #HappyHour #Foodie #GoodEats #DMVFoodie #TastyBites #HappyHourVibes

Succotash is well-known for its delicious food, and it’s always busy—which makes getting a table feel like a treat in itself. On this visit, however, something unusual happened: the server originally assigned to our table disappeared, and somehow our order was lost in the process. We waited long enough to see the table next to us (who arrived later) finish their meal and leave, so we finally asked their server for help. Thankfully, that server kindly took over our table, brought out all of our food, and gave us excellent service for the rest of the meal. The food was, as always, very tasty, and the cocktails were especially good. Despite the rough start, the great service and delicious dishes made it a positive experience overall.

Succotash is an extraordinary example of blending two different cusines right. Atmospheric dim lighting alongside beautiful wooden architecture creates a cozy and comfortable dining experience.

Honestly, I probably would put this restaurant as one of the best in the National Harbor area! I'll definitely come back to here sometimes in the future. :D

This rating is more so based off the food. My wife and I tried the “Taste of the South” and was highly disappointed. I may have enjoyed 2 samples but my wife only liked the catfish. Nearly 95% of food wasn’t season well. I thought the chicken and waffle was okay but I’ve had much better fried chicken. Now on a positive note, the manager Alyssa was very welcoming! She honestly saved this rating from being 1-2 stars. Our waiter was okay, he was a Hispanic guy (can’t remember name) but he wasn’t over the top exceptional. Didn’t do anything bad, just felt like he was there doing to his job. This restaurant NEED better lighting! It’s super dark! We needed our phone light to see the menu. The vibe was upbeat with a very dim setting. The only light we had was candle light. It was terrible.

If you're on the hunt for a classic deli experience, look no further than Parkway Deli & Restaurant. This bustling establishment captures the essence of an old-school NYC-style deli, serving up mouthwatering sandwiches and traditional fare that will transport you straight to the streets of New York. One standout feature is their delightful pickle bar, which has made a triumphant return after a two-year hiatus.
This place felt like stepping through a portal into an old school NYC style deli/diner. The dining area is towards the back of the store and is definitely worth checking out because those who dine in have access to the pickle bar (which is a must if you order a pastrami reuben). If you don’t dine in, you’ll have to pay per pound for the pickle bar. Their pastrami reuben was really tasty, albeit maybe a tad bit too salty by the time you get to the last few bites. This is why getting pickles is critical. The acidity cuts down on the richness of the deli meat. The matzoh ball soup was delicious! Highly recommend ordering this soup on a cold day. The dessert selection and prices were very reasonable. I ordered the chocolate mint pie and though I wish there was more chocolate mint filling, it was still very good. The service was fast, so it’s an ideal place to eat if you’re in a hurry. Perfect spot to bring the family.

This place serves the BEST Reuben Sandwich I've had and I've eaten a lot of them. There is a diner and a full hot bar with food deli, and a dessert cooler. I left with two Reubens, two fries and two Napoleons, the Napoleon (dessert) was to DIE for. This dessert has always been hard to find in the wild, but Parkway did it, they serve these delicacies and they are delicious. I highly recommend checkung this place out, grab a Reuben and Napoleon if this is your gig and dig IN!

Second visit here for me. My man loves a deli!!! I had the chicken cheesesteak with hots and he had the hot pastrami Reuben. He always enjoys a pickle bar! This was our first time trying eggplant “fries”. Crispy on the outside soft in the middle. I enjoyed them! And of course we grabbed chocolate top cookies and humantashen on the way out.

Neighborhood restaurant with a lively atmosphere and varied menu! we ordered the pastrami Reuben, the Italian sandwich, and the Mac and cheese! big portions - I think the Reuben was our favourite thing and could have been split! Pickle bar available when you eat inside is great!

Been a couple of times, and even had some things I wasn't in awe over. That being said I had an amazing dinner Friday and they really take pride in their food. Comfortable place, decent prices, and mostly 'hit' on the food choices. Some of the specials are really solid as well. Great place, expect to go back at least 3 times in the next week. Strongest recommendation though you may have to try a bunch of things to know the solid winners. That's fine, it's not too expensive.

Good sandwich, but the prices for add-ons left a bad taste in my mouth. $2.50 for avocado. See pic. Over $6 for onion rings. See pic, but my husband had taken one off the plate. Still, more than $1 per ring, and they’re not particularly good. We expected generous portions of both an avocado and rings because why wouldn’t we? Disappointed. We enjoyed the pickle bar, and the service was exceptional. Yummy desserts.

RPM Italian is a contemporary and sleek restaurant located in Washington, DC. It offers a wide range of excellent Italian dishes, including classic favorites like chicken parmigiana, as well as outstanding steak, chops, and fresh seafood options. The restaurant is known for its impressive pasta dishes and delectable Italian desserts. With a focus on providing an upscale dining experience, RPM Italian has become a popular spot for lobbyists, lawyers, and foreign dignitaries since its opening in 2016.
RPM Italian deserves five stars across the board — from the atmosphere and ambiance to the outstanding customer service, attentive wait staff, and exceptional food. Our large party was treated to more than just a meal; we were given a true dining experience. Our waitress was not only knowledgeable about the menu but also shared interesting insights into Italian customs, which added a special touch to our evening. The food was excellent — flavorful, well-balanced in texture, and offered a great variety from appetizers to main courses. One suggestion for improvement: it would be helpful if the host staff inquired about food allergies upon seating. I only discovered the availability of a gluten-free menu after the appetizers had already been served and had to request it myself. Despite that minor hiccup, we thoroughly enjoyed our experience and will definitely return the next time we’re in the DC area. Highly recommend!

We had a birthday dinner here for a group of 12, and it was super easy to coordinate. We were seated in the bar area, which was lively. The overall vibe is really nice—definitely a good spot for a date night, girls’ night out, or even a group celebration. As for the food... it was just okay. Nothing really stood out as amazing, but nothing was bad either. It feels like one of those places that’s more about the atmosphere than the food itself.

Server was on point and the atmosphere felt very welcoming. I went here to eat dinner with my family for my graduation dinner and it was delicious. The only complain was the pasta was a tad bit under. Other than that all dishes were excellent. Potato puree, side of mushrooms, and ceaser salad were amazing. The dessert was easily my favorite part. I was treated to a Bomboloni as the server was attentive knowing I graduated. Again this was top service. Lastly, the Salted Caramel Meringata was one of the best desserts I’ve had and it looked similar to the famous Baked Alaskan dessert in terms of presentation. Highly recommend.

Best Italian experience you can have in Washington! We are amazed by RPM, best Italian food you can have here and best service ever. From the beginning, Kat was amazing! She is so kind and so professional, she speak even a perfect Italian so if you want some explanation about the food she will very happy to help you. About the food, we tried different plates and everyone was absolutely perfect! I really suggest you to try the truffle pizza and the ribeye, FENOMENAL. The pasta is also fresh made and perfectly cooked and you can also feel the freshness of the ingredients! RPM is one of the place where you have to stop if you visit Washington or if you live here, you for sure will come back again!

My wife and I went here for our 1st wedding anniversary and we were treated like royalty. The vibes were incredible. The staff were true professionals, we were more than taken care of during our time spent here. Food was delicious and portions were plentiful - neither of us left hungry. But leave space for dessert - the flaming ice cream cake was outstanding. Cocktails were extraordinary - definitely get an espresso martini (or 2). Can’t recommend enough, our time at RPM was a night to remember.

I really enjoy Union Market whenever I go. They have food, drinks, and desserts all in one place! In the past, I've been on their roof tops with my kids during one of their events. It's a great place to hang and social with friends, go on dates, or you're just looking to try something new. There's bbq, seafood, Asian inspired restaurants, soul food, fusion dishes, specialty drinks, health based selections, and much more. You won't be disappointed. What are you waiting for?

I tried Fishwife and got the Invasive Fish Sando. This is also the first time I have been at this market. The blue catfish was deep fried light yet with a lot of crispness. It was definitely worth the purchase because it didn't feel heavy in the stomach. The wait time was about 10-15 minutes because they were quite a number of people, but the employees were patient and considerate as they made sure that each customer got their order by double checking and had good attitude! I would definitely come visit again!

Union market stands as one of the best food markets DC has to offer. Only competition I believe is Eastern market. Union offers a vibrant array of food and drinks and events. The video is from an Asian festival they held on the roof where local DC restaurants popped up stalls to offer their cuisine. Plethora of outdoor and indoor seating. Great for grabbing a bite for lunch, grabbing some fresh meat or fish, or an evening out with friends. It's an area I find myself coming back to again and again.

Mexican restaurant
Mi Vida is a high-end Mexican restaurant located at the Wharf, offering a glamorous bi-level setting with stunning waterfront views. Owned by renowned chef Roberto Santibanez, the menu features a modern take on traditional Mexican street food and home cooking. Dishes like carne asada, mole enchiladas, and Alitas Adobadas (spicy chicken wings) are served alongside unique variations of hand-crushed guacamole.
The food and service were excellent! We selected the multi-course lunch special that included chips, guacamole, spicy deviled eggs, Cesar salad, street tacos, chicken enchiladas, rice, beans and churros. Each course came out individually and perfectly timed. Some had a distinct spice that snuck up without becoming overwhelming. The drink menu was sophisticated and I recommend the habanero mocktail if you want to enjoy a surprisingly perfect mixture of sweet and spicy.

It was a wonderful dinner experience. I ordered 2 tacos and 2 platillos. The “Camaros taco” was my favorite, and I definitely recommend trying the “Quesabirria”. Everything was delicious.

Mi Vida was given to us as a recommendation for dinner. I had no idea it was going to be some of the best food I have had! We ended up doing more Al a cart and smaller dishes to share. We had the Brussels sprouts, egg rolls, burra, and queso fundido. With out a doubt, the Brussels sprout dish blew me out of the water. It had such a unique taste that just makes my mouth water as I type this. There were caramelized pecans and cranberries also in this dish with a limecrema sauce that went on top. Everything else was amazing and as expected but by far we found our favorite dish. The drinks were amazing and our service was nice! The third floor has amazing views and worth sitting up there if you get the opportunity. Check this place out too!

Totally enjoyed the experience here. The restaurant itself is beautiful and well spaced out. Our waitress was very helpful in suggesting what to order! We had the chips and salsa, frozen margaritas, pescado tacos, quesobirria, chocolate cake and flan for dessert. I will say I was a little let down by the tacos, it felt like they needed more sauce or something had been left off- while edible, just tasted incomplete. Other than that, everything else we had was great, we would definitely come back if we lived locally!

Love the atmosphere here. Eclectic and fun decor. Good vibes. River views and great food! We stopped in for snack and a drink. The chips and salsa were some of the best we’ve ever had. Great heat level for the salsa. Great chips that were sturdy for dipping and flavorful. Francesca was a good server and had great recommendations for the menu. She did seem perturbed when we asked for more chips for the salsa but other than that, she was great. The views were good. The wait was next to nothing. Good experience overall. We would definitely comeback.

Everything was amazing from beginning to end!! Shout out to Wendy, our server who was attentive without overdoing it. Placed everything down gently and with grace. We came in to celebrate our daughter’s 9th birthday, which I put in the notes & I loved the attention to detail because I did not have to repeat myself. Which is my favorite. So thank you for that! For started we ordered some cocktails, my drink was your typical and tropical Malibu with Pineapple splasha’ cran, nothing crazy. My husband order the Pinada? It was delicious! Nice twist on a tradition Mai tai. For appetizers we ordered the tacos dorados & chips & salsa. It was delicious and so fresh! The tacos dorados tasted just like home. For dinner, I ordered the Birria with a side of rice and beans. My husband ordered the Carne Asada. Beautifully done and plated. It was my first time trying the Birria- ever! And this gave me a great start for it. Our daughter ordered a kids chicken quesadilla with chips and still, fantastic! We skipped on dessert as we were SO full! However, Wendy brought out a complimentary brownie & candle. Ugh, everything was fantastic. Thank you guys again for having us and giving us such a pleasant experience. We come from Boston, where we have high expectations and standards for food, beverages and hospitality. 10/10 recommend.

I wanted to love my burger but it wasn’t my favorite. It was tasty, but a little too greasy for me. Ordered a cocktail and it was way too sweet.

Atmosphere is nice and seems like a cute neighborhood spot. Maybe I’ll try the happy hour next time.

Amazing food and atmosphere, portions were very small! We got the butter chicken, lamb, and garlic naan. The butter chicken is the BEST ive had in DC. This beats Rasika down the street. It was more expensive. The dish here being $25 while Rasika is $20. The lamb was okay. It could have been softer. The garlic naan was standard good. My bought comment is that the entree is NOT A LOT of meat. I had maybe 6-7 meat pieces (see my photos) in my dish and so did the butter chicken. They make up for it by giving a lot of sauce. Each entree is $25-$30 so the least I would hope for is more meat. Amazing food tasting food thi. Another small comment, I could barely understand my waiter and I think I’m pretty good with Asian accents having lived in Southeast Asia for 11 years growing up.

The food was interesting. Im big on Indian food and my friend is Indian so we were looking forward to this but it failed to deliver. The chicken tandoori was great, but that was all. The kebob had an overwhelming taste of cumin and nothing else. We thought the chickpea dish would be more like chole/chana, while it wasn't, it was still good. I got the paneer pasanda but the masala on it was too sour/bitter and the paneer was too oily. Service was good, but for 20% automatic gratuity, we expected more. I mentioned my paneer was too sour and didn't want it but they still packed it for us to go...lol The portion sizes are tiny for the price but at least the server did warn us. We did not realize the still water was $9 per bottle, but ig thats on us.

I went to Karizma on a Saturday for lunch and in my experience it was average. The menu options are lack luster. There's just 3 options for vegetation appetizers I tried the fennel paneer tikka which was soft but lacked marination. For the main course I tried the paneer pasanda the portion was small and lacked spice. Naan as usual not authentic and rather tasted like bread. On top of their elevated prices they charge 20% compulsory service charge which is never communicated or mentioned on the menu. This place is just hyped up so skip it if you want to have authentic and good indian food.

Our time at Karma was decent, but not mind blowing. If it weren’t for the awesome service and the cool, open vibe, the food alone might’ve only earned a 3 or 3.5. The servers were super friendly, knew their stuff, and were really helpful. The atmosphere is a breath of fresh air compared to other spots in the area, with plenty of space between tables. The food was just okay, not spectacular. The presentation was top notch, but the flavors varied from just okay to pretty decent! The Paneer Pasanda was the standout dish, easily earning a 4-star rating. The roasted eggplant and goat cheese naan were just okay, nothing to rave about. The Kakori kebab was also good, but the lamb chops were just meh. The drinks were a letdown. On paper, they looked intriguing and delicious, but in reality, they tasted watery and unremarkable. The drinks were probably the biggest letdown. Overall, it was an okay experience, but I’m not waiting to go back.

Tried this place on a whim with my wife and I'm glad we did. Mostly great food - the veggie curry puffs are akin to samosas but the dipping sauce makes it 10x better. The fried rice was refreshingly delicious. The BKK wings are marked as spicy on the menu but they were very sweet. This is the only reason for 4 stars & not 5. The portion (~5 wings) was sufficient for me. My wife also liked the Thai tea. Service was prompt and courteous. Servers were very attentive and we were tended to very quickly and efficiently. The restaurant's vibe is very fantasy-like. I liked the major piece (photographed) and the seating arrangements. They also have an upstairs section. One thing to note is that the restroom is upstairs so if you have limited mobility, this will be a concern.

Came here with my family of four — and apparently that makes us easy targets. They slapped on a 20% “service charge” automatically, even though the menu clearly says it only applies to five or more. That’s called misleading customers where I’m from. Then they had the nerve to suggest extra tips on top of the total that already included the service fee. So basically, they wanted us to tip on the tip. Absolute nonsense. As for the staff — the Thai waitresses looked like we ruined their day just by walking in. Eye rolls, cold faces, zero effort. If you can’t stand serving people, maybe do everyone a favor and don’t. Nobody’s forcing you to be here. I’ve been here several times before, but after tonight, that’s it. You’ve lost a loyal customer for good. This kind of arrogance and shady billing doesn’t deserve to survive. Enjoy squeezing a few more dollars out of people — it won’t last long.

Such a fun spot. The colorful, fabric-rich decorations give the place a lively and inviting vibe that excites the appetite. We ordered the Tom Ka, Poh Tak Seafood, and Southerner’s Comfort, and all are delicious. The Poh Tak and Southerner’s Comfort both had a nice kick to them, balanced well with fragrant herbs and spices. The long beans added a contrasting crunch to the dish, really fun to eat. The jasmine rice was the perfect vessel to soak up all that flavorful sauce. Highly recommend all three! Service was fast and friendly. They also have an amazing happy hour with a wide selection of drinks and Thai street food favorites. I’ll definitely be coming back for that. If you’re in the area and craving bold, satisfying Thai food in a fun setting, Thai Chef is a solid choice.

The salumaria provides a tempting array of meats to kick off your dining experience before indulging in some of the city's finest pizzas.

Always wanted to come and try their Neapolitan pizza after we traveled recently to Italy because we heard that it was just as good as the pizza overseas. And the rumors were right! This place is authentic and delicious. Pizza was similar how they made it in Naples, and the flavor was delicious as well! Had their prosciutto with mozzarella as an appetizer (highly recommend) and two personal pizzas which we shared. Definitely recommend and will be coming back as regulars now!

I’ve ordered pizza here a number of times and the experience swings drastically. I always get the Diavola. Twice the pizza has been great! Another time the pizza crust was burned but the dough somehow still raw - I asked them to put it back in the oven and got an attitude. Additionally, wait times can be quite long. Last time I visited, I waited close to 45 minutes for dine in service. Overall decent but think they need more consistency.

They have a very detailed menu with plenty of options so it took a while to determine what we wanted. It would have been nice to have some images associated with the menu but nevertheless when I saw the brick oven I knew what I was in for. My wife just wanted a pepperoni pizza so the host explained that it is possible, just a small deviation from one of the items on the menu. The food took about 10 minutes to prepare. I can’t lie, my wife said this was one of the best pizzas she’s ever had (prior to our visit her favorite pizza was Andy’s). The verde calzone was fantastic as well. You can taste and tell the authenticity of their food in each bite. We visited south of Italy a few year ago, Palermo, and might I say the quality of food at Menomale matched our pizza experience in Italy. I will be back to this spot.

I had the pleasure of going to a pizza party happy hour at Menomale which was my first time. The pizzeria owner Mariya Rusciano gave a very frank discussion of two major issues facing small businesses in DC and the minimum wage laws. Also, about recent legislation on the Dram Shop laws facing DC Council. The authentic Neopliotan pizza was excellent! Great drinks and very nice atmosphere. I plan to tell friends about it and do plan to come again.

This is one of the best Napoletana Pizza Restaurant. It is as if you are dinning in Italy where the mouth watering pizza is prepared. The atmosphere is family ornted. It is good place to take your young ones for a healthy pizza fun time. It is also good place to celebrate Birthdays and Engagements. Our Community is enhanced by their hardworking entrepreneurship. Mariya and her beloved husband Rusciano love our Community. The flavor is delicious, friendly staffs unforgettable experience and a great evening. You will not regret visiting Menomal Pizza.

One of the best pizza places in DC, for me there are no questions about it. The staff is friendly and courteous, the food is tasteful and just fantastic, and the environment is pretty good. Quiet enough to have patio group dinner or a private dinner inside. Pizzas are all special and make sure you get a good drink such as wines or a cocktail side on your meal... Jules Dassie

Menomale is such a charming spot! The pizza is fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked, and the space feels cozy yet stylish. The staff are friendly and welcoming, making the experience effortless and enjoyable. Definitely a place I’d return to for a casual, chic meal.

Restaurant
Greek Deli & Catering is a popular spot in Foggy Bottom, Washington DC, known for its classic Greek dishes and long lines during lunchtime. The founder, Kostas Fostieris, draws inspiration from his upbringing in the small hamlet of Sineti on the Greek island of Andros. The menu features comforting options like lemon-infused avgolemono soup, nutmeg-spiced pastitsio, moussaka, and spanakopita.
I’m Greek and this is the best Greek food in DC. Kostas is very friendly and kind. There is no indoor seating, there is some outdoor seating. It’s true to the word “deli”, you grab and go. I hope this establishment is here forever!!

Surrounded by many other restaurants, don't overlook this tiny Greek fast-casual restaurant with a large menu of all the usual Greek fixings. I ordered their traditional gyro and it was the perfect amount of food and quite tasty. Since they don't give cups of water, I bought two bottles of water. My bill came to over $21. They also have a small fridge area with other goods and drinks. Inside is one table that sits two.

I used to go here all the time for lunch when I worked on K. I loved it! Everything I got was always amazing. I went back last week, and it wasn't as good. I used to get the gyro all the time and it was outstanding. The meat was tender and tasty, and on the pita with it was diced tomato, onion, and cucumber with fresh dill! The one I got last week was like any other gyro. The meat was good, though on the dry side. The tzatziki sauce seemed the same. On the pita with the meat, though, was just ice burg lettuce with a slice of onion and slice of tomato. It was fine, but not nearly as good.

The traditional gyro is one of the best I've ever had - including when I went to Greece! Great spot for lunch. It's a little bit pricey, but for an independent restaurant with presumably expensive rent that has been here for 35 years, I'm happy to pay a little bit more than usual.

This is by far the most authentic Greek food I’ve had in DC. Tastes like something my grandparents would make, authentic flavors, I’m really impressed. It’s so hard to find casual and good quality Greek food here, and I feel like I’ve just found a gem! I got a plate with rice, lamb and okra. Delicious and again I can’t say enough, authentic as it can get.

One of my favorite lunch spots in the downtown area - the gyro is absolutely to die for. I do wish prices were slightly lower (gyros start at $16), but I also understand it’s an independent restaurant in a high-rent area of DC. The owners are super sweet as well

I bought a Greek Salad w/meat. The WORST GREEK SALAD I EVER HAD!! First, they use iceberg lettuce! The worst lettuce in the world with no flavor or vitamins/minerals in it at all. For the price, we could at least have a better upgrade of lettuce! Second, there were only 2 small olives, 2 banana peppers, NO onions! Really! The salad dressing was TASTELESS and had absolutely NO (greek) vinagarette flavor at all, very horrible. The greek (white/yogurt) sauce was also TERRIBLE, absolutely NO flavor. And the price was $15.99. WOW. What a horrible salad! Never again!!!! The previous owners of this restaurant did not have a problem with their salads, at least they tasted Greek. I wouldn't dare try a real meal item with the prices they charge. HORRIBLE SALAD MAKERS!!

Jetties is a popular eatery with multiple locations including Bethesda, Foggy Bottom, and Foxhall. Known for its delicious sandwiches and salads, it offers a variety of options for breakfast, kids' menu, and ice cream. The menu features sandwiches like the Nobadeer and Steps Beach which are favorites among customers. The steak and cheese sandwich is highly recommended with its flavorful steak, melted cheese, and perfectly toasted roll.
A nice little place tucked in a little shopping strip. There are self-serve ordering screens right as you enter if that’s what you prefer. I ordered the Still Dock sandwich and it was delicious. Order came out fast. There are a couple tables inside and it doesn’t feel cramped. There’s also a lot of table benches outside. That is where I ate because I had my dog with me.

We decided to order from Jetties for a recent meal during a work event and it was delicious. I ordered clam chowder which was flavorful and hearty a custom sandwich which was fresh and perfectly made. Jetties has a good menu with lots of options to make your own salad and/or sandwiches. They have a few locations around DC including the one in Georgetown. If you’re in the mood for a good, made-to-order sandwich or salad, check out Jetties.

On a busy Friday night of running around with the kiddos, it’s hard to grab a bite. I was taking my son to a school function and noticed while driving the “Jetties” sign. I knew after dropping off my son, dinner was going to be from Jetties. I was able to find street parking, and was warmly greeted upon walking into the restaurant. Being a previous customer from other locations, I knew I was going to use the kiosk to place my order. While I waited for my food to be served, I was able to walk around. There was ample outdoor seating with lights, looking like a rather romantic area with umbrellas and wooden tables. Within minutes, my order was ready! I order the Tom Never, and my wife order the thirty salad. Both meals were delicious, warm, with generous portions sizes. The one reminder is that Jetties is a cashless restaurant, and they truly value their customers. If you’re looking for great food at a reasonable price, please consider Jetties, you will not regret it. Enjoy!

Exceptional sandwiches for a premium price. Very limited seating so you may behave trouble dining in during rush hours. Also serve a variety of desserts including baked goods and ice cream. Probably one of the best options in the neighborhood.

Amazing and high quality ingredients and the stuffing is to die for. Very filling and large portion size. Wish I had Jetties where I live!!! It seems like they are very allergy friendly which may explain the reviews about longer wait times. We did not have to wait long at all though!

Jetties in D.C. is a neighborhood gem known for its fresh, flavor-packed sandwiches and relaxed vibe. The “Nobadeer” — with turkey, stuffing, cranberry sauce, and mayo on sourdough — is a year-round favorite that tastes like Thanksgiving in every bite. The “Monomoy” is another standout, featuring a rich and satisfying French dip that hits the spot. One suggestion: it’d be great if they served French fries — they’d pair perfectly with the amazing sandwich lineup.

The trendy and chic atmosphere at Grazie Mille creates an energetic vibe for diners.

It's a great spot to grab a filling and delicious lunch with great service.
Such a friendly place. Saw this place on google before coming to DC and I’m glad I stopped. Best pizza in the area. Wish this place was in Wisconsin. If you visit the White House you should make a stop here for lunch or anytime they are open. Grab a pizza or sub. I have a sensitive stomach and this place was delicious. Try the salted caramel Chocolate chip cookie. I had a small pepperoni pizza and my boyfriend got the pickle pizza. We both enjoyed this place.

Fun pizza place for a quick bite. They also have some small deli items you can grab like a pickle, cannoli, small little prepackaged salads. The pizza are a tad on the pricy side but it was convent. They have some selections of drinks I’ve never seen like a Shroom Energy drink and a hemp based drink. So might want to be careful what you grab from the drink refrigerator.

This place is an absolute gem. The guys at the counter were great and recommended the bang bang sauce on the wings, it was great. The pizza was excellent, I don't normally post about a pizza joint, but this place deserves a visit. The sauce was tasty, the toppings were cooked to perfection, and again, the service sets the place apart.

We were looking for a quick dinner spot for our family of six and Bozzelli’s was perfect! We ordered three 10” pizzas and there was not a crumb left (we probably could have gone for a 14” and two 10”s). They had an oversize Jenga game that passed the time waiting for our order with some FUN. The pizza was delish and the service was fantastic. Would recommend!

Okay. So, WOW! I was in town at a nearby hotel and searched for pizza and this was the first result. I’m back home and still thinking about this pizza. IT WAS SO GOOD! So good, I went twice on my three day visit. I ordered the spicy feta pizza the first time (DELICIOUS! spicy but delicious) so good, I had to come back. The second time I ordered the Classic Italian Mama pizza. Both 9” pizzas and MAN!!! They know how to make pizza. So so so so so so good. I got the banana pudding the second visit, and while pretty expensive ($7) it was also delicious. The only negative, the wings. I ordered the boom boom wings because they looked so good, however, they were not. They were covered in sauce but still didn’t have much flavor. That was the only disappointment. Great drink options, even some alcoholic ones. I sat both inside and outside and enjoyed both. Loved my experience and highly recommend to anyone nearby looking for pizza. ITS DELICIOUS!

Restaurant
Mangialardo's is a classic Italian deli that has been serving up traditional hot and cold sandwiches since 1953. This family-owned shop is known for its super stuffed hoagies, with the G Man being a popular choice among both regulars and newcomers. The sandwich is filled with ham, salami, mortadella, pepperoni, fontina cheese, provolone cheese, and oregano on a soft or hard roll.
Awesome subs, as others have said, G Man is the way to go. Everything is fresh and thick cut for the meat and cheese. The fontina is a great cheese. Super fast, friendly, and good value. It’s often packed in here for good reason. Thank you!

Well I heard of Mangialardos & Sons Inc. A while ago through social media. My husband and I decided to stop by at this deli to order our subs before we started to walk around Washington DC. At first it was really hard to find parking, on top of that we saw some constructions going on around the area. After driving around we found parking, and we walked to Mangialardos. The place is really small but just big enough to order and go. I knew that I wanted the 'G Man Sub' this one is highly recommended among other customers and social media posts. My husband ordered the 'Roast Beef and Cheese' sandwich. In my opinion the service is average and the guy didn't seem to have much patience when asking questions. It was our first time there and we came from Virginia to try this place out. Since I lived in NYC for over a decade I was familiar with subs. I took some photos of the place though there's nothing interesting about the interior. A bunch of boxes of supplies in one corner, customers have to stand waiting for the orders. Not even a little bench to sit and wait, let alone eat. You pay the cashier briefly, zip in and zip out. I know it's old-school, family-owned Italian shop that has been in this location since 1953. In my opinion the sandwiches are average for the price. My husband didn't feel he got a value for what either of us paid; esp the roast beef sandwich is much too small and there's nothing on it besides a little cheese and a few peppers. My 'G Man' sub wasn't as tasty as it could be. Maybe for those customers around the area the sandwiches are good and better than nothing. But for someone who is familiar with authentic Italian and gourmet sandwiches from NYC, one will notice the difference with disappointment. It's not worth the trip and the hours are horrible from 8:00 am - 3:00 pm closing Saturday and Sunday.

I just ordered a turkey and cheese sub on a hard roll! I am so disappointed of the sub I received! If you ever had a sub from Mangialardo's you know they are known for serving generous portions of meat on their subs! This was unlike any sub I had from there before! The meat was such a small amount you barely could see it between the sub roll. It was just thrown together! I have a cousin that lives next door to the location and sent him pictures. He went next door and showed the manager pictures. I asked is this how the subs are made now. The manager responded this is how we always made our subs 4 ounces of turkey! Remind you I been eating there for over 30 years and never had such a skimp sub! Like I said if you been there before you know! Therefore I would've rather heard him say that's the way we make subs now with 4 ounces of turkey! But instead he lied unless the scale need to be calibrated! Lol well they just lost a life long customer and I'm sure they will lose more! Gallo's Italian Grocery and Carryout here I come! 6342 Marlboro Pike District Heights MD. 20747. I will recommend this sub shop to anyone who still want continued great service and good food! I was there a week ago amd they still give generous portions of meat! On my next visit there I'll be sure to come back to this page and post a picture of the sub I get from there then you can see the comparison!! SMH so disappointed with Mangialardo's! Oh and they only received 1 star because I had to!

The best sandwich in DC, hands down. Absolutely consistent from one visit to the next, even years apart. Fast and always pleasant service. Amazing value. On a hard roll, the sandwich keeps quite well until dinner — we’ve taken them for an evening picnic before a show at Wolf Trap. I assume the hard roll would also keep till the next day, but I’ve never known anyone to have leftovers. Carry out ONLY. No seating.

Duke's Grocery is a trendy gastropub with three locations in Dupont Circle, Foggy Bottom, and Woodley Park. It offers farm-fresh cuisine, British beer, and craft cocktails in a hip East London-inspired setting. Known for its famous burger, the menu also features an array of sandwiches including traditional options like BLTs with avocado, banh mis, or cubanos as well as inventive choices such as the Spicy Aubergine or Italian Stallion for vegetarians.
Went to Duke’s Grocery in Foggy Bottom with a group of coworkers and had an overall great experience. The service was just okay, but the food more than made up for it—really solid bar-style fare. Of everything we tried, three items stood out: the Buffalo wings (best of the night), the mac and cheese, and the Proper Burger. The fries also deserve an honorable mention. It had a fun, laid-back vibe and felt like the perfect spot to hang out on a Tuesday night. Would definitely go back.

I visited this place because of the great reviews, but the food was a bit disappointing. The waffle in the chicken & waffles was too dry, and the wagyu beef burger was overly salty.

I went to Duke’s Grocery in Foggy Bottom and had an overall great time with friends. The service was decent, though our waitress wasn’t very attentive and we ended up waiting quite a while for the check, which was a little frustrating. That said, the burgers are excellent. The star of the menu was definitely their famous Proper Burger, which was juicy, flavorful, and worth every bit of the hype. Duke’s has a fun, laid-back vibe that feels equally great for casual after-work drinks or just hanging out with friends on a weeknight. Despite the slow service, I left happy and satisfied, and will definitely go back.

Solid visit for a burger and great happy hour deals. We went for dinner and the burgers were great, truffle Mac was excellent, and the bread pudding was lovely.

I’ve visited Gatsby twice this month and I want to shout out my servers, Demoyea & Emily. They were both great and very accommodating. Before you go, please note that even with a reservation, your entire party must be in the building before you can be seated. Not parking, not on the way.. in the building Okay now for the food.. they have a few good items and some misses in my opinion. My first visit, I tried the deviled eggs, chicken & waffles, and cinnamon roll. Everything was just okay. The deviled eggs could’ve used some relish to set it off. It was smooth but it was definitely lacking in the flavor department. The chicken & waffles was cool. I love dark meat so the chicken was good. I just could’ve taste the sweet potato in the waffle. And the cinnamon roll was good. The cream cheese frosting is very forward in taste. The second time I got the chicken sandwich and it was good as well. You want to set it off? Add some of their hot sauce to it. It helped elevate the dish a lot. Of course we all got bottomless drinks. It’s not just mimosas so that was a plus! Besides the mimosas, I loved Greta’s Punch. The tequila sunset was cute but very heavy on the prickly pear. Overall, it’s a cute spot! Parking is an extreme sport. There a garages and lots you can pay to park in but it’s pricey.

What a terrible restaurant! Arrived and the music was so loud, that I asked if they could lower it & the hostess firmly said NO without even giving it thought. Then, we sit down for BRUNCH, and i’m expecting good coffee. Turns out, they don’t have a coffee menu, no latte options and NO oat milk to cater to lactose intolerant people! Then the food ? TERRIBLE. I ordered $31 crab cakes egg benedict and the eggs were NOT poached and the hollandaise sauce was dry and plastic. the crab cake was ashy, no seasoning. never coming back and definitely asking for a refund.

I made reservations ahead of time for Saturday brunch. $29.99 for 90 min bottomless brunch mix and match. I like that special. First time experiencing “full table required”. With a deal like this, make sure everyone at the table wants to drink. The whole table has to order, even if only one person wants another drink… Other than that, the food was great! Loved my smash burger. Plus brunch music was lit. (hiphop/r&b) . After the brunch cut off time, the music turns into… pop music. 2 levels for seating. I ubered but my friend had to park in a parking garage down the street. I would go back and try Gatsby again.

This place has bottomless DRINKS for brunch, not just mimosas…DRINKS! That you can switch out each round so if you have the stomach you could try them all, I give that a 10/10. Sunday’s brunch is more family style without a DJ for those with little ones. I went with my 10 year old, mom and sister. I didn’t get a picture of everything but we got the appetizer sampler that came with wings, Rueben egg rolls and cauliflower…We also got spinach dip, pancake potato cakes as an appetizer. The spinach dip was a bit bland, but everything else was phenomenal. For our entrees we got shrimp and grits, smash burger and a side of mac. Their Mac had the best cheese pull I’ve ever seen, it was so gory and cheesy, very delicious! My son loved his burger…the shrimp snd grits were a little bland but I still liked them! Our server was very sweet, she was extremely accommodating and didn’t rush us out at all after we were there for 3 hours lol the bottomless drinks got us. Great pregame spot for the nationals games or national stadium events if you attend one. Loved the experience, will be back!!!

Rice Bar is a bright and simple cafeteria-style eatery that offers Korean rice and noodle bowls. The star of the menu is the Korean bibimbap, featuring layers of rice, vegetables, and meat for a well-balanced meal. Customers can customize their bibimbap to their liking. Visitors can also enjoy other options like ramen and Tan Tan Noodle from the featured set menu.
Really tasty. Fast. Big portions. You can build your own bowl or choose a featured recipe. Minimal seating but seats seem to open regularly. You will be sitting next to a stranger during peak times. There is takeout though also. I'd recommend asking for it to-go anyway cause you might not finish the whole thing.

Portion seemed good except they add so many up charges that it is quite expensive in the end. Do not think $10-15 think more like $18-$22 for not a massive meal. The veggies seemed fresh and the rice was good! Downsides would be that my bulgogi was primarily fat not meat. And the fried egg on top was cold. I liked the style and ease of the order cards!

This is a really neat place. Came with a group of people of very diverse dietary needs and tastes during lunch and everyone got something they loved, those who eat vegan, those who do gluten-free and those who are dairy-free, and it was all tasty. Great noodles and sauces. Plus the people who run the place had a good attitude and simply aimed to serve us. Great choice if you want fresh and custom!

Service: Came with a friend while we were in the area. The ordering process was smooth—you select your ingredients using a sheet, which keeps things simple. There were only two staff members preparing food, so even though it wasn’t too busy, the wait was longer than expected. Staff was polite but minimal interaction overall. Taste: The food was flavorful and tasted fresh. Everything came together really well in the bowl, and it definitely felt like a more authentic take on a fast-casual rice bowl spot. The ingredients looked and tasted high quality. Ambiance: Very casual, more of a quick-eat or takeout kind of place. Not ideal for a sit-down meal if you’re looking for atmosphere, but it gets the job done for a fast and tasty option. Overall Review: Rice Bowl is a solid spot for a quick and flavorful meal. Just be mindful that it’s more expensive than similar build-your-own places like Cava or Chipotle, especially with add-ons. That said, the food tastes fresh and authentic, so it’s worth trying if you’re nearby.

First time trying the place. We were not sure what to order first but decided to try both rice dish and noodle dish. I did not have high expectation for noodle soup but it was unexpectedly light and good flavor. I picked bulgogi for rice dish. It was good as well. Service was fast. I'd eat here again. There's some gluten free option as well even though no meat for that option.

Colada Shop is a charming spot located in the U Street corridor, offering Cuban coffee and cuisine. The cafe has a gated patio where you can enjoy your coffee and food with your furry friend. Visitors praise the smooth Cafe Cubano and flavorful lattes. The menu also includes enticing food options like empanadas and Cuban sandwiches. At The Wharf location, guests enjoyed traditional Pina Coladas with Bacardi Ocho float along with delicious empanadas and Cuban sandwiches.
As another stated, this was some of the freshest, best tasting coffee I've had (cappuccino). Ordered the breakfast sandwich and breakfast plate. Both were good. Returned the next day and tried the beef and chicken empanadas. Both were good but the chicken tasted better. Also tried a guava/cream cheese pastry. It was OK.

We stopped here for a quick bite. We had the Colada Shop Cuban Sandwich, which was delicious. The yucca fries were very crispy, the plantain chips had generous portions, and the piña colada was frosty. The space is large and has a great atmosphere. There’s also indoor seating. All the staff were friendly!

Delicious and efficient little place. I liked the pay from table QR system they had, and it made service quick and easy. I ordered one of the sofrito bowls and had it with both the chicken and cauliflower/mushrooms. Amazing flavors and a decent portion size too without feeling heavy. I also ordered the mint and lime spritzer which was nice and refreshing. Would to again!

I feel a little mean writing this, but this restaurant wouldn't last a year in business in Miami or NYC. It could only last in a city with minimum competition for cuban restaurants. The ambiance is nice and the menu boasts impressive options. We got cuban sandwiches and I got the new shrimp special. Also ordered a mango tea. The mango tea was the biggest disappointment. It was just a plain black tea, zero flavor whatsoever outside of black tea. The shrimp dish came with a salad with no dressing or seasoning and yucca fries. Yucca fries were good, but I asked for aioli and they completely forgot about it, and it took 10 minutes to get the waitress to notice us again as we were generally ignored. It definitely affected our eating experience to be ignored for so long. The shrimp was a disappointment as they used the lowest quality tiny cocktail shrimp. It would have been so much better if they used large shrimp. The cuban sandwich was good but frankly, the one at Casta's rum bar is better. Would not return.

Stopped here while working a night shift for some takeout, and the service was exceptional. The woman behind the counter brought me water and we had a great conversation while I waited for the food. When the to-go box came out it was quite literally bursting at the seams with injera, so she recommended I eat some before leaving. The injera was fantastic, the ribs were flavorful, and the sides (I got string beans and split peas) were to die for. You can't go wrong. I have never felt so at home while trying to get takeout. I can imagine the service is even better if you dine in.

This place is amazing. Everyone needs to eat here right now. I ordered beef jerky and spicy lentils, and instructed the man behind the counter to pick his choice of Ethiopian beers. He brought back St. George, which was delicious. The entire time, his demeanor was incredibly friendly and welcoming. My meal did not disappoint. Portion size was generous, and included a side of injera. The food was served hot, and the quality was fantastic. I ordered a second beer. The atmosphere was bright and welcoming, with exposed brick, checkered table cloths, and vibrant colors on the wall. The warmly lit bar area created a friendly and inclusive vibe. Several times, the man checked on me to ensure I was enjoying my meal. I was enjoying myself and let him know it. He insisted I write this review, and the rest is history. Halfway through writing this review, he brought me another beer, and now I’m done writing this review. And that’s how my night has been going so far.

We went to a show at the 9:30 Club and it had its good points. It was a long drive for us from where we live now and some parts of the evening could have been better. The little Ethiopian joint across the street, however, was amazing. In retrospect, Ghion was the best part of our evening. We stopped in for a bite before the show and I was hoping it would be ok. I had really talked up Ethiopian restaurant food and service. My wife had yet to experience it but the other places I had eaten were good and I was hoping for a repeat. Ghion made me look good. First of all, I defy you to get more stuffed for less money and on food that is that delicious anywhere in the city! We tried SO hard not to eat until we were uncomfortable and neither of us were completely successful. It was Just. So. Yummy! The beef we ordered was (I never use this word) succulent. It was perfectly seasoned and, among the flavors, the cardamom in particular gave the dish a surprising note of sweetness that really rounded it out into something memorable. And, the myriad vegetable dishes that covered our injera-laid table were so flavorful that, had we not ordered meat, I doubt we would have missed it despite being pretty typical American meat eaters. To top it all off, the staff were some of the nicest people I’ve ever encountered in DC. (And, I was born in DC 43 years ago.) I’m not exaggerating or making this up. They held our leftovers AND MY COAT until after the show and hugged us (my hand to G_d, they hugged us) when we came back. No, seriously! In DC! I said, “No, thanks,” to holding our food at first, but it visibly pained our server to throw out what we all know is the best part of the meal (the injera that’s soaked up all that goodness sitting on it) and I finally agreed. She gave us a huge smile and told us how to turn it into the best breakfast ever. I won’t go into why I couldn’t take my coat into the show but they held that, too. We don’t look like anyone famous and we certainly don’t look like high rollers and I don’t think I’ve ever had better service in a restaurant, even ones where I’m a frequent customer. ...I’m not even sure what better service would look like. That is a good experience! Visit Ghion. If the show across the street isn’t great, Ghion stays open late and they even have a little bar. Cheers!

This is a great space for Latinx businesses such as home goods boutiques, wine/wine bar and gourmet grocery, food stands and restaurants. There is an upstairs lounge as well as outdoor seating. Even the indoor space is a large open space and it is not crowded like Union Market making it easier to navigate during the pandemic.

With a second location in Georgetown, it offers a unique culinary experience that combines French techniques with Middle Eastern flavors. The menu features an array of delectable options such as wood-fired shakshuka, breakfast sandwiches, and specialty coffee drinks including Halva Honey latte and baklava mocha.
Love this place. I see what the reviews are talking about. The only downfall of it all is that it’s in a very congested area, with cars and people. But it might just be worth the hassle. There is street parking but of course it is limited. The next alternative would be the garage parking lot which they have a few sprinkled around here and there. This place is very popular so there can be a line, but the place is also small so there are only a handful of seats, indoors and some outdoors. I wish I got to try more, but we were on the road and made a quick pit stop to try all the rave in a short amount of time. Even though everything I had was 100 percent delicious, I would firstly recommend the soft serve and of course the new love of my life, the batata tots and don’t forget the dipping sauce that it comes with. Staff are efficient and the place is clean. I’m sure if you read a lot of the views, you’d understand there is only one bathroom for customers, so that can be a wait as well. Too bad I don’t live in the area or anywhere near here, but if I ever find myself here, I will definitely come back.

This place is busy ! With that being said it’s busy for a reason, they have a lot of great food, pastry and coffee options in a lively atmosphere. The Lebanese flare on some of the signature coffees and croissants sets them apart from the every day spot.

I did confirm that the lamb and chicken are halal! We had the lamb sandwich and chicken sandwich which was packed and they did not skimp on any ingredients. Now I could speak paragraphs about the food but the drinks are worthy of a review of their own. Their cold foam is out of this world! The Moroccan mint tea. Peanut dalgona , coconut cardamom were a huge hit. I have been meaning to try this place and has easily become my absolute favorite in the city. If you come to Georgetown or DC. Yallah is a must try!

Pros: Opens at 9am Great subs Family friendly environment Cost efficient meal Cons: Cash only No pickles 😥 Establishment is behind a bus zone (parking sucks) Here’s a tip, go online and google the establishment, then search through the images to see the menu, then call your order in.

My employer has used MGM Roast Beef for years for catering needs and they seem to always get it right. I recently reached out to the MGM Roast Beef team for a catering order and Dan, the General Manager, quickly responded to discuss our needs. He answered my questions and provided a fair estimate quickly. On the day of the event, I called their team two hours before delivery was scheduled to occur to order 20 more boxed lunches because we had more attendees arrive than planned. Ryan, the Owner/Operator, didn’t hesitate to jump into action and help with the last-minute order change. On top of that, the event’s attendees raved about the assortment of sandwiches we received and I personally heard great reviews about the brisket sandwich.

GW Delicatessen is a beloved neighborhood deli in Foggy Bottom, serving up delicious breakfast bagels and sandwiches since 1945. Tucked away in the back of a convenience store, it's a popular spot for locals to grab a quick bite before work. Their breakfast sandwiches and platters are perfect for starting the day off right, while their freshly baked croissants are a hit among students from George Washington University.
This place is a time machine. Prices look like they were set in the 90's and frozen since then. For $7, you can get a massive breakfast sandwich that, if you're a normal human being, will fill you up for the entire day and if you're a local college student, at least through your afternoon classes. I splurged and got a BLT with egg on an everything bagel with cheese for a whopping $9. And the bacon quotient is next level, they just have some inside hookup on a massive bacon pipeline because each sandwich literally has 4-5x the amount of bacon you'd expect and rightfully deserve. Line is long but moves briskly, you'll likely be in and out in about an efficient 10 minutes.

Quantity is a lot and I could have split the sandwich for someone else. 4. Customer service is nice and the sandwich came out really quick. 5.

MLK Deli is a local favorite for its signature spicy-sweet mumbo sauce. The restaurant is known for its fried chicken sandwich served on a brioche bun, and it's a perfect way to enjoy this delicious sauce.
We found this place when we were looking for something close to the base. The food was absolutely delicious! We ordered the Jive Turkey sandwich, the pastrami sandwich, a croissant sandwich, fries, wings and freshly squeezed strawberry lemonade. Seriously, the food was outstanding!! The fries were flavored and thicker than most (my favorite kind of fries) My only critique is that Google says that you can dine in the restaurant, you cannot. Absolutely no place to sit. But the atmosphere in the place is cool. Luckily, one of the neighbors who live above the restaurant let us sit on their porch area.

Had some time between meeting up with friends before concert. Drove by this place and decided to stop by for a quick bite to eat. Small inside area for ordering. Staff was very friendly. Prompt service. We both had the “jive turkey” but with different bread and cheese choices. You can grab chips and a drink to complete your meal. What I like is the outside patio sitting area. Very cute, comfortable covered area with a tv. Will definitely come back and try some other options on.

There was no chili in the “sweet chili mumbo” Wings- it tasteful only Mumbo sauce to me. I’m not a fan of the pineapple lemonade either. Try the big chair Reuben. I need to come back and try other things on the menu.

The King club is my favorite! I like to dress my sandwich with a little extra stuff even-thought is just fine the way they prepare it! I can only eat half for lunch and half for dinner that’s just how fulfilling & satisfying this sandwich is! I have to mention the fresh ingredients is a huge plus!

Amazing and Delicious!!!! I stopped here on my way from work after seeing this sandwich shop on IG... it's a small spot tucked away on MLK... The restaurant is very clean, service was impeccable and the sandwich was HEARTY !!! I plan on returning to try the crab cake sandwich.

Nicole W — Google review
Surprisingly the customer service was really really good.... But the food portions are sad! Nothing comes with the sandwich? Just a sandwich. The prices are outrageous. I was completely disappointed after spending $18 that I walked away with a sandwich smaller than the palm of my hand and a cup of juice. Not my idea of getting the best "bang for my buck". A "make it a meal" option needs to be added so your customers are full or at least satisfied for lunch. I literally drove from Fredericksburg, VA to eat here because I saw it on Fox 5 News and I'm a foodie, a 1 1/2 hour trip, just to stop again n get more food elsewhere on the way home.

first of all, food takes a long time to cook, secondly its a bit expensive, third, so far everything I've tried,the food is bland, I ordered some Parmesan garlic wings and they were too dry and they did not pull/pluck the hairs on the chicken, yuck. than the blue cheese is too thick with little wetness.

Baker’s Daughter, a local favorite with three locations in the DC area, is known for its hearty breakfast sandwiches and a variety of delicious options. The restaurant offers a cozy atmosphere with comfortable seating, making it an ideal spot to enjoy breakfast and coffee or even get some work done. Customers rave about the fantastic breakfast tacos and the assortment of pastries and snacks available. The Eaton hotel location is particularly charming, featuring open doors that let in fresh air and plenty of greenery.
This cozy coffee shop is my go-to place before work nearly every day. Their coffee quality is unmatched. The selection of flavors and coffee drinks is amazing, although I get the same order every time and the baristas take the time and care to remember their regulars. They also have a delicious menu of food items beyond just their pastries (which are also delicious) that in my opinion are a notch up from other cafes. I would recommend this place to anyone that wants a great cup of coffee, a tasty breakfast or lunch, or a cozy ambience to work/study in!

Visited Baker’s Daughter Café and tried the baked egg with vegetables and the egg & avocado sandwich. The sandwich was delicious (5/5) – fresh and flavorful. However, the baked egg didn’t quite hit the mark for me (1.5/5). The café itself was clean and cozy, with a nice shuttered design. Ordering was easy.

Baker’s Daughter is an easy and convenient spot for an early breakfast, especially if you’re looking for a quick stop in the city. The space is bright and welcoming, with plenty of seating to relax and enjoy a quiet morning. The coffee was just okay, and the Earl Grey tea leaned a bit bland. The egg sandwich looked hearty but ended up being on the dry side. Overall, it’s a decent place for convenience and atmosphere, though the food and drinks could use a little more punch.

Love their breakfasts. They have good sandwiches and food. I also like their coffee. It’s a good aesthetic in the lovely Eaton hotel. The staff is always very friendly even though their customers can kind of suck because they’re all tourists visiting DC in this twisted time in the city. Would recommend the shakshuka or the breakfast sandwich.

I had the pesto chicken with red onion sandwich and it was ok. 3 of five stars. I couldn’t taste the basil pesto flavor I was craving and the onions were cooked vs raw so I didn’t get that crunchy raw and fresh bite I thought it would have. The chick pea salad was good, but the sandwich fell flat. So why five stars vs three, the guy behind the counter that took my order is awesome. He is friendly, inviting and welcoming. I just left the dentist which means I was drained and I’m a stressed mood. His ability to welcome people got me leaving in a happy mindset. That is a rare trait and a five star experience.

This issue literally just happened, and I thought it was worth putting a review up for it. My wife and I are staying at the Eaton hotel and went downstairs to grab breakfast. We just wanted something light to start the day, so we opted for the parfaits. We got one of the chia parfaits and when we got it back to our room, we saw that the fruit was moldy. Went back to swap it out and see if the had fresh ones, as there’s no date on the containers. The girl behind the counter said i could swap it out, so I went to grab another, checking the fruit to make sure. The first two other ones that I picked up were also moldy. Needless to say, I asked for a refund and got a sandwich instead. Everyone was nice, and by and large, the food is good, but I felt it was worth mentioning the moldy fruit. I was also kinda surprised they didn’t immediately go and pull all of them to check, but hopefully they did after i left

The toast was good but it definitely felt over priced. I got the hotel voucher for breakfast and it was for $15 and the toast took it all. It’s insane to pay that much for something that only had one piece of bread! Overall good option if you’re a hotel guest.

"I Egg You" is a popular breakfast spot located at ChiKo Cap Hill, open from 8-1PM on weekends. The menu features a variety of egg-based dishes with a unique twist, all priced under $9. Customers rave about the OG sandwich and the Lox of Love sandwich, as well as the perfectly cooked Basic Potatoes. The restaurant also serves alcohol and offers unique beverages like Vietnamese coffee.
Absolutely delicious! We got the croque madame (pictured), the pork breakfast sandwich, bacon breakfast sandwich, egg drop sandwich, and loaded tater tots. The milk bread was perfection, all the flavors were so tasty and balanced, and our server Anselmo was friendly and just the very best. A great time! Very much looking forward to coming back.
Amanda L — Google review
Cute little place in Capitol Hill area. Nice staff. We ordered: A BLT, a Vietnamese Egg coffee, an affogato and an OMG Loaded. My BLT with added Avocado was okay. First couple of bites was good until it got a bit overwhelming with the [sweet Aioli] sauce. perhaps it would have been better with a little less sauce; it kind of took a way the clean and savory taste of just simple lettuce, tomatoes and bacon. On the positive note, it has generous amount of bacon slices [4-5]. Vietnamese Egg coffee - I had this in Vietnam and also make this at home ... it's a trendy drink in Hà Nội. Vietnamese coffee is strong and thick, and it is an espresso made from a French drip. With that said, I can check this off as tried it and will not order again. I am certain that the coffee was just regular filtered coffee because it tasted nothing like a dripped espresso, cant taste the condensed milk either neither is the egg. My hubby said Affogato [ espresso pour over gelato ] was good. His OMG Loaded was good. But too many potatoes. Will I come back, yes because it is my first time and there are other dishes that I havent tried ... so it's only fair not to give bad review if I only tried a couple of dishes 😉 Dislike - there's a 20% service charge automatically added to a bill that is more than $20.00. And on the bottom of the bill there is also a line for tip ... we almost double tip until we read the receipt again. Not cool.

Great food but pricy! I had the bulgogi egg scramble dish and my friend had the tofu dish which we both enjoyed. The bulgogi scramble was lacking in the aoli so would recommend a side of the aoli to dip for every bit but the egg scramble was fluffy and rich. Not sure if it should be a 17 dollar dish for what is just a sandwich but it did taste great! The tofu was light and a lovely texture as well. I've had the vietnamese egg coffee before and that's something I might pass on despite the virality, nothing to write home about. Service was good, Tyler was lovely and we appreciated his recommendation of adding candied jalapeños to the tofu dish! The paintings on the wall are pretty and the vibe of the place is sweet for a nice brunch!

The food here is amazing! The DL’s Egg Drop, which is a beef bulgogi scrambled egg toast, deserves all the awards and rave reviews. I’ll definitely be back to try the other items. One complaint though is the incredibly musty smell along the corridor to the bathroom. That’s right where the kitchen is, so you’d think it would smell awesome, but it was disgusting.

Buffalo & Bergen in Capitol Hill and Union Market is a nostalgic nod to the soda shops of the 1950s and 1960s, offering authentic NYC-style bagels and tangy Bloody Mary cocktails. It's an ideal spot for brunch or a mid-afternoon cocktail while exploring the neighborhood.
Cute little Restaurant! They have ordering kiosks to make it easier to order and customize your bagel! My bagel was quite delicious! The overall restaurant had a fun aesthetic! They also had seating indoors and outdoors! Me and my party found a nice spot outdoors! We all sat underneath umbrellas, listening to some good music coming from the store. That being said it was very busy. If you’re looking for a fun little bagel shop, you should stop in.

This is a cute, welcoming spot just a short walk from Union Station. They have indoor and outdoor seating and an ordering kiosk, or you can order at the counter. The staff was very friendly. Prices are reasonable and there are lots of interesting food and drink choices on the menu. We had a hard time deciding. The knish was really good. The bagels were delicious! The Rude Girl sandwich on a bagel with jalapeño cream cheese was good, but the bacon was dry and overcooked, and there was a lot of it, so I had to pull some of it off. The pineapple cardamom soda was not fizzy, nor did it taste of cardamom, so I don't think it was made right. The lavender taro tea was outstanding, we ordered it on both of our visits. The Original sandwich on a bagel with Gravlax was delicious and so big we had to take half of it home. Overall, we enjoyed our meal and came back a second time during our stay in DC.

It is a casual brunch place to come with friends or s.o. I walked from the station which is pretty close. Not too bad of a walk I highly recommend it.

Great bagels, and they play cool music, but we had to wait over 30 minutes to get 2 bagels with cream cheese. The self order kiosk isn’t great either. I’m at a restaurant for a reason… if I need to place my own order to the kitchen, get my own beverage (which you do), and bus my own table, what am I tipping 30% for? Anyway, 4 stars because the bagels were really good.

So's Your Mom is a compact deli in NYC that serves bagels, pastries, and traditional sandwiches like pastrami on rye. It has gained popularity among locals for its breakfast and lunch offerings. The deli is cash-only, so it's important to come prepared. Many customers have expressed their satisfaction with the food and have recommended it as a great place for a quick meal or snack.
Solid family-owned deli serving up bagels and sandwiches for a relatively reasonable price. The turkey avocado sandwich was good but needed a little salt and pepper. They don’t bake their bread or bagels or smoke their meats in-house, but it’s still a decent spot if you’re in the neighborhood. I’ll be back to try a breakfast bagel.

This is my favorite place to eat in Adam's Morgan by a longshot. For breakfast I recommend the Lox on Everything Bagel or the Western Omelet on Everything Bagel. The Lox is obviously more expensive but it still comes out to less than ten dollars which is a steal. The Western Omelet is like five or six dollars. For lunch I recommend the Bronx Pastrami or if you want something cheaper I'd go for the BLT. You can pick what type of bread you want. I like the rye for the pastrami and the sub roll for most other sandwiches. They have a lot of different types of chips. I don't see many people buying groceries but they do have an assortment of interesting products, mostly foreign goods. They also have a fridge for any beverages you might be interested in. Sodas, coconut waters, vitamin waters etc. It's not very obvious but you can (and should) buy some coffee. You can't order a latte or anything like that but you can get coffee or iced coffee with milk/cream in it. It's like a dollary fifty or something for a large. The place smells of coffee because they sell a bunch of different types of coffee by weight. The minimum you can buy I think is a half-pound. It's a take-out restaurant mostly with a few grocery items so there's not any seating inside. Two things to remember are: 1. They only accept cash. Which personally I think is great. The credit card companies shouldn't get 2% of their profits when it's hard enough for a restaurant to survive. 2. It's closed on wednesdays. The cashiers are not chatty and they cut to the chase which I personally like.

Don't have a lot of experience with DC - was staying for a conference at the Omni Shoreham across the bridge and stumbled in to this place (with a rather bizarre name) on a walk. It's cash only - decent line but the counter lady was all-business and kept it moving quick. I ordered the Italian Hero - at less than $10 it was an absolute steal. The Italian sub roll was awesome and came piled high. I'm a big sauce guy and the combination of olive/peppers/dressing had me in heaven. There's not really room to eat inside, but they have a rather large selection of snacks/chips/drinks to supplement your meal. A lot of rarities in this regard too which is cool. I found a picnic table at nearby Kalorama Park and had a 10/10 lunch.

The lady behind the counter is not the friendliest human being. There menu prices varies and beware if you ask for clarification. My coworkers referred them, so I tried to order the Monument online, but they don't offer online ordering. So I walked 1 mile from the Waterfront Metro to 3rd/K St SE. I have attached screenshots of the different prices variations online. In their defense the price differences are within pre-Covid thru 2025. I deescalated the tension by ordering and paying $14.84 (tax included) for the Monument. Once I got my sandwich I said "thank you", and the rude woman behind the counter (most likely one of the owners), her ego prevented her from acknowledging me. Which is ok, "the world is not full of sunshine and rainbows" -quote from one of the Rocky movies. But unfortunately I discovered the texture of the rustic bread was disappointing and soggy. Rustic bread typically has a thick, crispy, and often golden brown crust that may crackle in your hand when gently squeezed. My sandwich just fell apart. Good customer service is key to the success of any business.

Quick review: Very impressed. Quick dine in or out, easy spot to wait to be picked up by car, and delicious food. Large menu, not so well for off-the-street people but good to keep you coming back. Employees know their stuff and are always working to keep the store clean and help customers. Prices a bit much, but expected for DC. Plenty of decent indoor and outdoor seating. Long review: Accessibility is nice, just across the street from the Marriot Marquis. You can also wait inside or outside while waiting for people to pick you up in a car. Menu is large, hard to get a good grasp on what they have available if you're just walking in off the street. But if you like going to the same place over and over, the variety will definitely keep you coming back. Food is delicious and doesn't take too long to make. I ordered the New Yorker sandwich, and a Twilight Delight smoothie and both took about ten minutes. Staff is smiling, friendly, and quick. They're always moving and working to clean the store and help customers. Prices are a little high, paying nearly $16 just for a sandwich and smoothie is a bit much, but also expected in DC. Seating is nice and spaced, chairs off in the corner and comfortable cushioned stools. Outside tables are great for sunny weather.

Do yourself a favor, skip the 'bacon' on the breakfast sandwich. It's the thinnest bacon I've ever seen and you can't even taste it on the sandwich. Like paper thin, no exaggeration. Even pre-cooked bacon or fast food restaurant bacon is thicker than what they use. It's not worth the extra $. The sandwich itself is good minus the bacon though. It's very cheesy and the egg is good. You do pay $1 more for a croissant, which is a bummer, but it's a good croissant. If I were visiting again, I'd definitely eat there again, just change what I order.

Yang Market is a charming deli located on 14th Street NW in Washington, D.C. Initially known for its sandwiches named after scenes from the movie 'Cousin Vinny,' it has now evolved into a new sandwich venture led by Pete Sitcov and Emily Cipes. The market offers an array of affordable food and coffee options, with exceptional bagels and cold brew that even non-coffee lovers will appreciate.
Yang Market is a gift to the neighborhood! They have a great selection of snacks, wine, beer, and fresh produce. It's all priced very reasonably, and they also have a deli of well-priced sandwich options. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable.

It's an adorable shop owned by a super cool couple with all the basic necessities, delicious sandwiches, and really cool "niche" items like Japanese bbq sauce, hot honey, pickled garlic, etc. If you need a quick gift for a host they have wine, beer, and charcuterie board items. They even have basic toiletries like tampons, toothbrushes, and OTC meds. I love the design of the shop and the owners always put fresh flowers on the tables outside :)

Yang Market is such a fun and funky local spot, a true local gem. Sandwiches, classic candies, all your basic needs, beer & wine, and much much more. You have to check it out and get some treats to sit outside at their little tables and enjoy!

This iteration of Yang is cute. Nice little deli and you can basically build any sandwich for $6 which is a great deal. Don’t try calling the number on the menu website.. they apparently don’t have a phone at this place which I find super annoying (minus 1 star)

He price gouging children. The wife and owner are extremely disrespectful to customers. I went for a sandwich which the board stated it’s one price and she rung me up a different price. When I asked why I was charged this price the owner( husband) cussed me out for no reason. I will never shop here or allow my son to buy anything from here either.

Eddie’s Little Shop & Deli is a charming and delightful spot in Old Town that offers an array of Italian delights. The shop boasts a fantastic selection of Italian pastas, with plans to introduce fresh options soon. Visitors can also create their own sandwiches using high-quality ingredients like excellent mozzarella and top-notch cold cuts. The sandwiches are described as huge, delicious, and worth the price.
I went today and ordered Da boogie and The Rosa. They both were perfect. I also purchased some Italian rosemary crackers. The owner came out and suggested some sandwiches. Super nice business I'll be back to try more!!!

The Roma sandwich was excellent. It has chicken cutlet straccietella house made romanesco sauce pesto and arugula on a fresh seeded Italian bread. The Tuna was fresh and contains olives and fennel and is topped with a nice slice of provolone citrus mayo arugula and onion. It is on the sweeter side. We would have liked the ciabatta toasted more or the Italian bread with sesame seeds and heavier on the onion which are personal choices. They gave us samples of their fresh mozzarella which is also excellent. They have counter seating at a window bar and outside seating. Would definitely go back.

Went for lunch and found a new favorite sandwich shop in Old Town. I was skeptical of the $15-$20 sandwich price but after getting my meal I was definitely sold. Well worth the price. The sandwiches are gigantic and super tasty. Very authentic and fresh. If you're craving an Italian sandwich, go here and nowhere else. Eddie's is also a deli and shop which sells stuff for Italian meals. I'll definitely go back to peruse their shopping to supplement my kitchen.

Amazing food with exemplary service. The owner himself came out to greet me and discuss my gluten intolerance to make sure I could get the best experience possible with the gluten free bread. These sandwiches are just packed full of the most amazing ingredients and I feel like I could easily end up trying every sandwich off the menu.

Husband and wife here from Chicago and Philly have been waiting for a decent sandwich shop to open nearby. Forget all the other Italian places you think are worth your 5 star reviews. This place understands not just how but why the high quality fully flavored ingredients go together. This guy Eddie and his team have done it, and done it right. The old way, with great care. The way it should always be but so rarely is.

Incredibly tasty Sandwich No. 12.2!! It was made with prosciutto, pesto, house-made mozzarella and arugula on warm grilled focaccia. Large enough to split between 2 people. It was seriously delicious! Charming deli. The counter looking out on the street sits 8. Yum!

I’ve had two sandwiches from here, the 23 chicken cutlet sandwich and the eggplant pannino sandwich. Both were excellent and worth the price. They are pretty hefty sandwiches as well. I thought the eggplant sandwich used just the right amount of oil. My only complaint was that some of the flavors on the 23 sandwich like the pesto were lost against the spiciness of the sandwich.

BEAUTIFUL PANINO!!!! Delicious combination of flavors. I got the roma with romesco sauce, pesto, chicken cutlet and arugula. Fresh chicken. Amazing seeded Italian bread, cut in half so you can save the rest for later. Wonderful lemonade. And it was packed but the wait was surprisingly so short! Great little store with lots of little Italian products like pan di stelle e altre cose che ho visto in Italia. Eddie’s Little Shop & Deli… ti amo !

Salumeria 2703 is a cozy spot located in Brookland, just off Rhode Island Avenue. While it's not an ice cream shop, it offers delicious gelato that comes highly recommended by various sources. The owner, Massimo, bakes his own bread and makes fresh sandwiches using it. Additionally, he prepares his own gelato and cuts the prosciutto fresh. This Italian grocery store provides high-quality products and is run by actual Italians.
Bakes his bread… who does that? Massimo does! He also makes the sandwiches fresh from his own bread subway rolls. He makes his own gelato. He fresh cuts the prosciutto which at six bucks for a quarter pound is a great deal. The pasta is home made too. This place is legit. You can order for catering and with his prices, why would you bother buying the stuff yourself? Just get it ready to go. Massimo also owns the pizza place down the block so he offers a fuller array than at a usual deli. There is a lot of imported stuff Italy too. Go check it out!

I love this place, and try to give them my business as often as I can. This is an Italian grocery like you’d find in Italy. Small, adorable, great quality, run by actual Italians. Their sandwiches are fantastic with fresh baked bread, and we bought the platter for our son’s christening and fed twenty people. They also have ice cream! It’s one of our only ice cream shops in the neighborhood, and I like to take my son there for a little corner store gelato on warm days. Another highlight is their “grandma style” deep dish pizza for you to bake at home, you just have to call to place the order. The store also sells wine and Italian prepared foods. Staff are friendly and helpful, so glad to have them in Brookland.

The only downside, is that this restaurant only takes credit cards. It’s completely cashless, so if you’re looking for a great fast casual dining look no farther.

The salads and sandwiches are good. The problem is that twice now, on 2 separate occasions myself and a friend have had bugs in our salad. When it happened to me and I called and asked for a refund and the person didn’t seem to really know how to do it. I’m not sure if I ever got the refund. Today when it happened to my friend, we went back and showed them in person and got her a refund. It’s just concerning that this is clearly not a 1 off and now I worry that they don’t properly wash their produce before serving.

Orange cream soda was $2.95. It gets crowded at lunchtime, so I went a little before noon when there was no line.

I love farmers markets mostly for the vibe and sometimes I'll find something delicious. This market by the White House on Thursday summer afternoons gets jam packed. I've eaten a few things there and all have been good. Nothing to write home about but still good quality food. Although, I would say my favorite is always the kettle corn. But I've had tacos, bao buns, apple strudel, pizza, and Italian subs. There is alot to choose from but the prices are unsurprisingly a little too high. But it's a once a week treat and I'm supporting small businesses. So please check it out and enjoy the sun with your coworkers.

I visited this Market in early May and have visited it in the past pre-pandemic. This farmers market is nearly all prepared food, such as hot food, baked goods, and take home prepared food. Very little produce. One stand had a few apples, one stand with sprouts, and one did have general procedure like lettuce, strawberries, garlic scapes, asparagus, garlic, etc. If mainly you're looking for produce, you probably want to check a different one of their markets I do want to go back and try to Jerusalem falafel though.

My favorite lunchtime market in DC! Located in the heart of DC next to Lafayette Square and the White House and right off of McPherson Square metro. The farmers market has truly transformed into a mecca of diverse culinary 20+ vendors from Indian to Ethiopian, Italian, Chinese, Mediterranean, Mexican, vegan, seafood, Southern soul food, grass-fed burgers, etc. You name it, and you'll find here! Some of the classics are still here (Lemonade Love, Puddin', Capital Kettle Corn, the Red Zebra Pizza) and some retired (Soupergirl, Chaia Tacos, Pleasant Pops, Urban+ade), there's plenty of space for new vendors! My favorite vendors of 2019: - Cowbell Kitchen Vegan (5/5) - The tasty homemade veggie burger in a cheesy jalepeno bun with an array of relishes to choose from in a self-serve station hits the spot! While the scrumptious grilled cheese last year was delicious, I prefer the healthier veggie burger at lunch. Don't skip dessert - the muffin-like blueberry cupcake is delicious. - Panorama Bakery (5/5) - Tucked near the back, you'll find a treasure chest of scrumptious pastries and fresh bread! The fluffy almond croissants and cinnamon twists are divine. - Lemonade Love (5/5) - Refreshing fruity lemonade with interesting flavors served in a gigantic cup, The beets, strawberries, and watermelon lemonade are my top picks. - Hilana Cuisine Falafel (5/5): Flavorful crispy chickpea balls coated with Tahini and wrapped in a soft pita. So fresh and delicious! - Call Your Mother Jewish Deli (5/5) - While the Wood-fired bagels are tasty, don't miss out the chocolate swirl Babka muffin! - Puddin' (4/5): Indulgent bourbon brown sugar pudding. The small size is plenty for sharing! - Capitol Kettle Corn (4/5) - Fresh kettle corn made on the spot. Fun flavors that really pop - Spicy Chocolate, Honey Butter, Cheddar, etc. Plenty of unique flavors to sample from. The bags are perfect for sharing in the office! - Yoga in a Bowl (3/5) - The thick and chunky paneer wraps are messy and a doozy to eat outside. - The Red Zebra pizza (2/5): Wish Timber was here instead! While it seems difficult to mess up a pizza cooked in a wood-oven, the pizza is greasy and tends to get soggy. The zucchini pesto ricotta pizza is my favorite. Definitely worth checking out if you work in the area. The market gets pretty packed with long meandering lines that start forming before noon. To beat the crowds, get here early around 11:30am!

Red Apron - The Roost is a trendy whole-animal butcher that has carved out a niche for itself with its mouthwatering sandwiches and charcuterie offerings, complemented by an impressive selection of beer and wine. While many flock to Union Market for the iconic Red Apron burger, their other sandwich creations are equally noteworthy.
The only thing bad about Red Apron is that it's far away from me. You can never go wrong when a butcher shop starts making sandwiches. Soko, anyone? As expected, their burgers are stupendous. I tried two of their more notable burgers and they were both delicious. RED APRON ORIGINAL (2 Smash Patties, American Cheese, Island Sauce, House Pickles, Red Onion & Shredded Lettuce) - really quality burger meat, fresh trimmings and their island sauce puts it over the top. A+. PIMENTO BURGER (2 Smash Patties, Bacon, Tomato Jam, and Pimento Cheese) - it's all about the pimento cheese and tomato jam that's lathered onto this burger. If you're a pimento cheese fan, you'll love this burger. Service was friendly and kind, which made it even a better experience. They brought a carafe of water, cutlery and a cloth napkin outside where I was sitting. Love the Roost and Red Apron fits right in

So disappointed in Red Apron. I used to look forward to their sandwiches. And especially their fries. Last night I ordered one and there was as much lettuce as there was chicken. And the fries I was looking forward to have been replaced with some gross McDonalds wannabe frozen fries that had almost no rosemary and garlic and were limp and under cooked. I don't know if it's new management, cost cutting, or what, but I really hope y'all switch back to loading up your food (and cooking it) like you used to.

The food is heavy, but it often hits the spot at The Roost. My go to is the Pimento Burger, which comes with delicious fries. Even when it's busy, the wait isn't very long for your food. Pair it with a sour ale or beer from Shelter. That's the beauty of The Roost!
Austin G — Google review
This Red Apron is situated as part of a food hall within the roost. The finishings are upper-scale but comfortable, and the hall is pleasant during off hours. During peak-hours, however, it becomes a little more loud and crowded than I personally prefer. Red Apron used to offer the best fries in DC, but since they changed their recipe, the fries are the second best (second only to the memory of the old recipe. I also highly recommend the pancake hamburger.

The italian beef.... Chicago would love a word. That was complete garbage. You all should just take this off the menu or rename it. $20 for basically a roast beef sandwich. Gross.

Red Apron the Original Burger is delicious! It reminded me of a fancy burger version of the Big Mac. I will be back again for this burger for sure.

Get the cheeseburger slider with nothing on it but cheese and ketchup. It is what a burger should taste like and be known in the whole entire world (says my 7 year old)
