34 Best Delis in Washington

“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“

“Order at counter - they bring it out. Amazing sandwiches at a reasonable price. Drink cooler also has great selection/reasonable prices. Friendly staff. Minimal seating - but OK for quick lunch. Awesome find near our hotel in DC when we were a hungry group!“

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

“Johnny is a saint. An artist. A master of his trade. His sandwiches are soul-restoring. He assembles each one with great care, producing flavorful works of art. The quantity of meat is tremendous.

This place makes Compliments Only across the street look like Subway. And Subway look like straight hog slop. There’s no better way to fuel your day than with a sandwich from Johnny’s. I salute you, sir.“

“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.“

“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🥰“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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“

“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!!“

“Chicken madness is an amazing sandwich“

“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“

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

“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.“

“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“

“Chicken salad sandwich always good 😋“

“I grabbed lunch at 14th Snack Bar and ordered a turkey and cheese sandwich with chips. The sandwich was fresh, with a good amount of turkey and a toasted roll. We also tried the chicken salad, which was simple and well seasoned. The portions were enough for a filling lunch, and the food was ready fairly quickly. It’s a convenient deli option for a quick meal in the area.“

“GOOD EATS!!“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“Great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“
