“they give you more than ypu need. fulfillment!!“

“Great turkey and pavilion sandwich, on soft sub bread. made fresh and melts in your mouth. Tiny but quaint place to eat. if choosing to dine in“

“Visited DC for a few weeks and really enjoyed running into this place. The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere is simple and quaint, and the food is great and well-priced. I typically got the huge breakfast burrito for $4 and was very happy. Highly recommend stopping by this place for a quick breakfast“

“We thoroughly enjoyed the best bagels and coffee at this place! We had two different bagel sandwiches and both were delicious!“

“Great bagels and staff. Having lived in Philly and NY, I came to DC with a high standard for bagels. Call Your Mother is the truth.“

“Best bagel I ever had! Great customer service! I love this place! Hilltop!“

“A go-to spot near the office for fresh sandwiches. Friendly staff and consistently great food.“

“Deli City Restaurant — Reuben is a Super Showstopper.

An exquisite, overstuffed Reuben with extremely tender corned beef and perfectly balanced seasoning — not salty.

Toasted rye adds crisp contrast, tangy sauce and sauerkraut brighten the richness, and a subtle buttery finish makes each bite decadently messy.

Massive and shareable; don't forget the extra napkins, a fork and knife, and be prepared to split it — easily serves two.

Hearty, perfectly balanced, and utterly indulgent — an award‑winning Reuben that demands a second visit.“

“authentic, Authentic, AUTHENTIC Italian deli and grocery. Old school, greaseball type place. Fresh pizza and deli counter food, refrigerated and/or frozen store-made pasta dishes, meats and deserts, plus lots of imported Italian canned stuff. Looks like a set from a Brian DePalma or Francis Ford Coppola film. This place would look completely at home on the corner of Mulberry and Hester Streets in lower Manhattan. If you what that means, then this is the place for you.“

“I love City Place Cafe and the staff is amazing🥰“

“Absolute Perfection, excellent food, service, and shop.“

“Classic old school spot with inexpensive food. Love that places like this still exist, the owners are so lovely and work fast. Have gone in multiple times and even when they are busy the food comes out quick. Good portions, great price, and good food!“

“So I’m originally from northeast DC and back in the day, late 1990s early 2000s, DC had black stores that the community knew like family. Now, when I tell you Trinity Grill gives off that type of aura, they not only embody it, they emphasize it. Besides having great food Chicken Cheese Steak and today the Jerk Chicken sandwich on coco bread😩🤤. They have game nights with throwbacks like Jenga Pictionary, they also sell frozen margaritas, they even have Sports betting machines, When I tell you they have every convenience imaginable. Special shout out to the manager and the cooks they’re awesome“

“We found this place after going on the US Capitol tour, it was about a 10-minute walk and it was awesome! The Blue Pastrami was phenomenal, and my father enjoyed the Gourmet Italian. Perfect deli spot for lunch, and the prices were fantastic (most sandwiches were under $12.99). I highly recommend!“

“Chicken madness is an amazing sandwich“

“Love this place. Walk in the door and immediately to the right is Lawd Shawarma! A wonderfully warm meal of fish & eggs with vegan bread and Christmas-spiced Sorrel / Hibiscus drink. No matter what they call the next respiratory illness, no matter if you need to starve a flu or feed a cold. Problem solved for me. Lawd! I thank you.“

“Jack's isn't the biggest place. But it's earned its name, Jacks Famous Deli. It's truly withstood the test of time. The food comes out fast enough where you're not waiting to long. And anything you get from the deli line is prepared fresh. So if you're ordering wings, you'll need to get there and wait a little because they'll be cooking them in the kitchen fresh!!“

“Yum! Good quick breakfast and not expensive. Huge menu, too.“

“Best bagel I ever had! Great customer service! I love this place! Hilltop!“

“Great place to grab lunch around the area. They’re very quick with orders. One time I had to wait a couple of minutes after ordering ahead and they gave me free chips. They really care about their customers and it’s something that I really appreciate. Will come back here a lot“

“Chicken salad sandwich always good 😋“

“GOOD EATS!!“

“Very convenient! Our family shop here every day. The workers are very professional and kind. The business establishment is Awesome. They gave a cookout for the community which was excellent the food was delicious. We support our community store“

“I Love this Place!!! Great Prices, Food and Customer Service!!! I Did Not Get a Chance to Take Other Pictures But The Next Trip I Will. Awesome Grilled Chicken Salad With Great Flavor!!! This Place Needs Longer Hours of Operation...! But, it’s Still The Best Small Deli Shop in the DMV Area!!!“

“I love M2M, low prices and great eats.. the salad bar is outstanding. Great customer service and very clean.. You can eat inside or outside. 5 Stars PLUS“

“Convenient location, fast, average pricing, good selection /variety, good service and great tasting food. I decided to take advantage of the available hot food buffet selection, and it was a definite win. Overall, I am satisfied and wouldn't hesitate to eat here again.“

“Got my order wrong once but other that it a cool spot.“

“excellent aptitude ,,,,%%$$$$$$$$$$$$=“

“This particular store has been in the neighborhood for a long time so this store will need to upgrade the heating system the cooling system maybe it just like I said it needs to be gutted out and remodeled and maybe bigger and better parking lot for them as well because I see cars getting scraped up and everything like that when I'm and I'm coming out the parking lot“

“Thank you so much to the night crew who created my order! I ended up ordering the steak and cheese sub. I added bacon + cheddar cheese and it definitely elevated an already delicious sandwich! The meat was perfectly seasoned and the bread was toasted to perfection. Very easy to walk in and pick up your order. *not pictured is the second half of my sub that I devoured as soon as I got home* 🤭“

“The food was so delicious. I did not even get a picture. I had a bacon egg and cheese croissant also with three wings my friend ordered a turkey bacon, egg and cheese on wheat toast.! he thought that my sandwich look better than his and would taste better but when he had his sandwich, he was amazed on how good it was. The chicken was 1010. Absolutely delicious. I’m thinking about ordering again for dinner tonight.“

“Came in by chance and not regretful. From ordering to receiving, took 3 minutes to get my sub. I got the spicy Italian which was really nice. The lettuce was fresh and chilled, the peppers added a good level of spice and the meat was packed in correctly with nothing falling out. The atmosphere is pretty much quiet and relaxed. A cheap and cheerful spot if you wanna grab a good meal.“

“First time going here today, went for breakfast. Good service, good coffee, amazing stuffed French toast, & The Home fries 🤌🏼 Will definitely be back!!!“

“Got my order wrong once but other that it a cool spot.“
