“IF YOU LIVE WITHIN 500 MILES OF THIS PLACE, STOP WHAT YOU’RE DOING AND GET YOURSELF A CHICKEN CHESAPEAKE SANDWICH IMMEDIATELY! #wow #11+“

“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!“

“Delicious flavors and fresh quality. Worth it to just sit and eat at their table-less benches outside they have.“

“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! Must visit spot!“

“everything you get from there is good no complaints from me“

“i get the Italian and you should too. literally it's that good. go get it¡“

“We didn’t try the food here but the coffee was wonderful! The people who served us were friendly and helpful. The inside (where we sat until outside chairs became available) was clean and cool temperature wise. The outside was shaded, comfortable and clean.“

“Holy Moly, what an awesome sandwich! I had the italiano, the focaccia was soft, airy and flavorful. The sandwich was a perfect balance of salt, fat, acid, heat. Salt and fat from the meat, acid from the vinaigrette and heat but not too hot from the hot pepper.

Can’t wait to return and try other items.“

“I love this location, except the parking is hard. Days when schools are out tell it all - tons of families here eating great food at decent prices, plus the businessman regulars looking bemused that their usual quiet hangout has gone Lord of the Flies.“

“Great sandwich choices and excellent bread as well as contents“

“We got the bacon egg cheese croissant sandwiches. They are fresh & delicious. John drank coffee and said it was really good. I drank bottled water. I would eat here again.“

“The cookies are so fresh and full of flavor. Also am a big fan of the coffee.“

“No exaggeration!! I have been going to Carls for years!! Not just 5 or 10yrs. They are always consistent. The sandwiches are good, fresh and price friendly. No credit cards needed, just old fashion money!! Dollar Bills!! 🤑 Carl is such a nice person, You will find him working alongside with his employees and he rewards them for their services sometimes with a company trip...May God's work continue in this place!!“

“We love the food ?“

“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 :)“

“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.“

“hands down nice subs my second best deli sub shop #1 is subbs by Carl's both are nice and black own“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“This family-owned market in DC is a real hidden gem! The coffee is always fresh and flavorful, and the sandwiches are out of this world. Their Italian sub is a must-try—loaded with quality ingredients and packed with flavor. Friendly vibes, quick service, and everything feels made with care. Perfect spot for a coffee break or a hearty lunch, I’ll definitely keep coming back!“

“Great food and service! Always outstanding!“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

“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 😋“

“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.“

“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. 🤩“

“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. 👍🏽“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

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

“something quick, delicious and friendly staff.“

“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“
