“I’ve been eating here at least once a week for a few years. Their food is consistently excellent across the board. My lunches are always fresh, the portions generous and the combinations of ingredients very creative and well conceived. I used to go to Jetties and Grazie Grazie. But frankly, I feel that TBSP is a bit better.“

“Amazing cafe reccomend to all people Spanish, American , Black , dont matter anyone here is welcome love the food love the smoothies are amazing just wish the place had a better schedule and was open everyday possibly? and close at 8PM or something or maybe close at 6pm i am a teenager and i give this a perfect review!“

“La Notte and the BYO Cheesesteak were AMAZING! We had the risotto balls, mozzarella fried I don’t know what, the waffle fries and the cannoli literally they all were AMAZING! Absolutely perfect, quick and so good! The portions were huge, my husband and I took the second half to go and I don’t regret it. Perfect spot for sandwiches that are quick, filling and ready to go!

“I come in quite often as I am a salad lover and every time I come in I am always greeted with great enthusiasm and bright beams of energy which is always a pleasure. Thank you for the great food and service. The portions are very fulfilling also :)“

“Great food and service! Always outstanding!“

“A concept created during the pandemic, I’m so glad it’s back inside Shilling Canning Company. Available inside and to go, there are six sandwiches on the menu and a weekend breakfast burrito. Every part of the sandwich is created in house except for raising the animals for the meat.Trying every sandwich at their launch party, every single one was delicious, especially with the housemade buns. However, my favorite was the “Chivito” with beef, ham, bacon, egg, and more. The “Ampburger” tastes like a gourmet Big Mac and it’s everything.Their wedge fries are crispy and nice. The homemade chocolate chip cookies are chocolate heavy and always warm. So good!They also sell Mexican Coca-Cola and Sprite in glass bottles.Service is always excellent and street or a paid parking lot are nearby.“

“My teen and I ate here at the outside tables each morning when my family visited DC. I recommend the caprese sandwich. It's made to order (not premade as another reviewer claimed) and delicious. The mango smoothie is also top-notch. The staff is nice.“

“What a gem! Our large group visited twice, coming back for their freshly made breakfast platters and flavor packed sandwiches (get the from-scratch curry chicken salad!). The restaurant was clean, spacious, welcoming, and with a small outdoor patio. Prices were very reasonable and portions were hearty. Definitely returning for their salads next!“

“Absolutely delicious sandwiches and appetizers! And the staff was super friendly!“

“Potbelly is always a great spot for a tasty and satisfying sandwich! Their bread is perfectly toasted, and the ingredients are always fresh. Whether it’s a classic Turkey & Swiss or their signature A Wreck, every bite is flavorful and delicious.

The atmosphere is cozy, and the staff are friendly and efficient. It’s a great go-to for a quick, quality meal.“

“Pot Belly delivers perfection in every bite! Their sandwiches are generously filled and perfectly toasted. The soups are a comforting bonus, especially on chilly days. Great service, clean space, and the ultimate sandwich experience. Don’t miss their oatmeal chocolate chip cookies!“

“Great sandwiches! Today I enjoyed the grilled chicken burrito. It was outstanding! Nice and fresh! The beef and chicken cheesesteaks are also delicious!“

“I visited this place awhile ago and there is something very special about this place. i had catfish with fries and it was very fresh and not greasy at all. I had a brief conversation with owner and i was told they used very high level oil to fry the food. They definitely care about the quality of the food more than anything. I will definitely visit this place again.“

“Family loved the food! A must stop in downtown D.C.“

“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!“

“My experience with Alexander Dou has been enlightening. His strategies focus on careful analysis rather than rushing into trades. I appreciate the support and guidance he's provided, if you're interested in learning more, consider contacting him on Telegrm at Alexanderdou.“

“Ordered Taylor Gourmet on Uber Eats. It came up as a black owned business near me so of course I wanted to check it out to support. And the food was great! I ordered the California Avenue sandwich. I should have gotten a regular size but I got a large and it is just that. A Large 😂 I also tried the cracked spuds and they were ok. Would def eat here again ! Thanks for the freshness“

“Great organic food, reasonably priced and delicious 😋“

“The veggie patty sandwiches are always at this location and it always makes my sandwich more filling. I love the topping selection they have and it was the Safeway I grew up with in my old neighborhood, I will always order from this location.

Vegetarian options: The veggie patty is a game changer for vegetarians such as myself. I noticed a large difference in how much faster I got hungrier eating a sandwich without the veggie patty compared to when it was present. Plus it’s freaking delicious“

“The food is great, next time I will come with friends. 🤩“

“This place is my favorite restaurant to have breakfast, the customer service here What makes the store special? The Guy that answers the phone is very humble and patient. When walking inside it’s very quiet and the aroma of food smells good. 😊

You are greeted by a sweet lady you pay for the food you go ahead and sit down at the table and when you open up the food you get to see eggs scrambled with cheese the correct way, The cheese is melted on top of the eggs just what it supposed to look like Not Cheese scrambled with the eggs Like other places. The home fries are seasoned and prepared with love. They are the best tasting out of all the other places I have visited like Denny's, IHOP, Brookland Grill.

Overall, You will love it here, so please visit and enjoy Seasoned delicious hot food.“

“Only gd plans to stop for a small vanilla milkshake, but ended up purchasing a sandwich too. Love the A Wreck, but what I love most is how they run it through an oven, slightly toasting your bread and meats together. I swear, that’s good eating there. 👍🏽“

“Relatively upscale looking place with wholesome sustenance. The shrimp and corn chowder really shone here. I had a make your own salad with beets and artichoke hearts, among my favorite salad ingredients. My boyfriend got the ham and turkey sandwich, which was delightful as well. The staff made the place very welcoming and they were super helpful!“

“food was great! i had a soup and a sandwich“

“The barista with the green shirt was so hot 😍“

“Long time Charley's fan. I've been eating here for 3 years during work and can say it is consistent. Staff are super friendly and welcoming to me and ask how I'm doing and how the food is whenever I come by. I recommend this spot if you need a large amount of food!“

“Right next to my office so I visit almost every time I am in. The staff is exceptional, always super friendly. Good people, super fast service. Love them! I choose pret because they have organic coffee and grass fed milk.

Dietary restrictions: They always have gluten free options, which I appreciate!“

“Great sandwiches! Today I enjoyed the grilled chicken burrito. It was outstanding! Nice and fresh! The beef and chicken cheesesteaks are also delicious!“

“I just got two sandwiches yesterday, and I never had an issue with quality and service. Sometimes, I like to order online also in advance so I can use the coupons. I think in the middle of the day is the best time to go cause I always see at least 3 people behind the counter in my opinion“

“This is the cleanest JJ's I've ever been to.. And of course the food is always on point.“

“Young lady that dressed my sandwich was so nice so helpful and was very patient with me when I didn't know what to put on my sandwich please tell her I said thank you so much from ms Kimberly.“

“I was with my brother and it was time to have lunch he suggested a Steak and Cheese sandwich. I hadn’t had one in years. I was a little apprehensive but we got one anyway. The first bite was simply delightfully delicious. I enjoyed the sandwich. It wasn’t greasy or full of fat such a great sandwich to enjoy!“

“Love this place. Nice selection of beer, wine and snacks. Associates are always friendly and helpful. I switched from leather to an electronic wallet all at once and their cashiers basically showed me how it worked. ? Thanks for everything, guys!“

“This Subway is a reliable spot for quick, customizable meals. With fresh ingredients, plenty of options, and affordable deals, it’s great for satisfying cravings on the go. While service can vary during busy times, it’s a solid choice for a tasty, casual bite. - “

“I had an amazing experience! Zahria and Tae were phenomenal! They were super helpful and they were very kind. They made great conversation and the food tasted wonderful! I live out of town, so I cannot visit again but I definitely highly recommend them!“

“I made a note to visit this place during my stay as I saw it exiting the metro station. On the last day, my friend and I arrived there a few minutes after open there just before we left for the airport. The door was locked but a guy (the manager I presume) was quick to open it and welcome us in. He was very lovely and quick at making the BBQ pork belly sandwich, which was delicious by the way, asking my friend and I questions about ourselves since our accents are notably not from the USA. He wished us a safe flight, and this interaction made my day - I’m writing this after being in the airport all day waiting for my delayed flight. I think this positive start to the day has made everything better“
