Delis near Chevy Chase

“One of MD best dinners. This place would go head to head with any of NJ establishments.“

“Cute place to grab breakfast. I give it 4 stars, it’s just a hyped up breakfast spot. The bagels were okay and the service was very good. No space inside to eat so be prepared to eat it outside, we didn’t mind since it was beautiful out but check the weather prior to arriving. I would come back if I am close by but I wouldn’t take an uber 25 minutes for a bagel here.“

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

“I am part Polish. My great grandmother came from there to Ellis Island in 1906. She raised my Mother who is now in an assisted living environment less than 1 mile away from this place. I am always looking for little things to help brighten her day when I visit several times a week. Polka Deli in has proven to be an ideal solution and helping me meet that goal. My earliest memories are eating freshly made pierogies and kielbasa in my great grandmothers kitchen with my mom and others. Enjoying the amazing food and snacks I’ve picked up here helps both of us during these very difficult times as she is confined to a bed over 90% of the time. She only eats a few bites so my diet is not improving but getting the smile from her and as we drift in and out of memories together is priceless.“

“Great lox and turkey pastrami“

“This is such a cute shop. Wish we stopped by sooner.“

“Hidden little gem. Great service very friendly staff. Great food, fresh and was delicious. Reasonable $.“

“I drive over an hour to get here and it's well with the drive. I've been there twice in two weeks and always walk out with more than I intended to buy. Large selection of Polish goods that makes the trip more than worthwhile. Very friendly staff as well. Jadę ponad godzinę, żeby tu dojechać i jest warto tak długo jechac. Byłem tu dwa razy w ciągu dwóch tygodni, duży wybór polskich towarów i zawsze wychodzę z większą ilością zakupów niż zamierzałem kupić. Bardzo przyjazny personel“

“Great breakfast and Best service ever!“

“From delicious fresh cold cuts & cheeses, home-made entrees, fresh sausages, Italian Staples and condiments to the friendliest best service in town. Makes great sandwiches, subs, fresh breads and cookies. Now full of holiday treats. Can’t wait to order a special platter for the holidays! A unique shopping experience - slow down and enjoy yourself!💖🇮🇹😋“

“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.“

“Great little shop located in lobby area of a professional building. Shelves are stocked with many different options as well as healthy fruits and vegetables. Would recommend anyone doing business in the 8720 Office Building to check them out.“

“I got the royal palm, nitro cold brew and a cookie. The sandwich was pretty good, and there was a reasonable amount of salmon on it. The sides/drinks were good. My bagel honestly wasn't great which was surprising coming from a place that sells a lot of bagels. While I would probably go back and/or try some of the other sandwiches, I'm not sure what would bring me here over some of the other bagel places around Bethesda.

Parking: Difficult to find a spot, especially during prime time.“

“At Xiomara suggestion, I ordered El Granseza sandwich for the first time , the very melted mozzarella cheese is super delicious and the red chilly has a great flavor touch.the service is awesome.Definitely I’ll comeback and also recommend it to my friends thanks Xiomara.“

“Great Italian deli. Best pizza. Some get sticker shock because “it’s expensive.” You live in DC, the air is expensive. It’s not dominos so shut up and buy the pizza or clear a path so everyone else can. Have also tried a few of their freezer options that reheat well at home. Service is what it is, they don’t work for tips.“

“If you want a great breakfast, with homemade home fries and great pancakes, go to Madison deli. They also have terrific sandwiches salads and soups. During non-Covid times, they make the best Korean bulgogi around. I highly recommend it!“

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

“Great little restaurant. We came here looking for donuts, no donuts but they had delicious ice cream. We decided to come back and get some food. Everyone was extremely nice and helpful with service. Portions are great and we will come back for more.“

“The food is amazing, if you want the best here is the place. Scott“

“Greatest food place in Maryland with the best vibes!! George & Maria, you are the greatest! Keep up the good work!“

“Wonderful deli food, great service. Salami and eggs were done perfectly and Matzo Ball Soup was to die for!“

“Perfectly toasted and buttered bagel. The staff was friendly. The other patrons were very friendly as they could easily tell we were tourists. I like to go where the locals go when on vacation. This is the type of establishment I'd gladly support on a regular basis if I lived in the area. The store was clean. The food was freshly prepared. The location is convenient.Check this place out if you are visiting the area. The locals already know how great this place is.“

“I have been coming to Cornucopia for 10+ years. Unfortunately I only come when visiting family since it is several hours away from my home. Every time I come the selection of items is outstanding & almost every single thing is imported from Italy. The best thing about this place by far is the desserts & the sandwiches. Ebo makes the bread fresh daily & it is absolutely phenomenal. I usually end up bringing multiple sandwich’s back home with me due to how amazing they are. The veggies & meats are so fresh & so flavorful it is truly unlike any other sandwich shop. If you’re in the area, this is a must try. Truly a hidden gem of Bethesda.“

“I'm from out of town but, as a seasoned traveler, I spotted a UPS delivery driver eating and noticed the plain foil wrap he was holding. That was a sign of flavor packed simple food. He told me where to buy it and went straight there. Chicken Madness is what I order and at first impression, the sandwich was fresh hot in temperature. Then, when I took the first bite I was reborn. I would love to visit DC again and most definitely stop by for 3 of these amazing sandwiches.“

“The food, coffee and service was excellent as usual !“

“I was in Maryland for a few days, and i was having trouble to find a good place to have breakfast at a reasonable price and I found this place. It made it easy for myself and my family to get a good breakfast. I ate there at least once a day everyday I was there. The owner was very nice and they were very clean when getting my food done, I also liked how food wasn’t all greasy. I recommend this place I would definitely go back in the future if I go back to Maryland :)“

“Scrumptious, thick layer of egg paired with DOUBLE sausage patties on a freshly baked bagel (I prefer everything bagel). Oh baby, come to _______!!! Nom nom nom ?

Service can be slow, though. And while it may seem the Asian man taking orders is curt, he's really a friendly guy who's super efficient.“

“So good! The bread is delicious! And the service was great!“

“Sometimes the best meals can be found in an industrial park in Beltsville. I also learned that this restaurant offers a Nigerian twist on shawarma. This meal consisted of the mouthwatering supreme shawarma with a side of fried sweet potatoes“

“I have never ever taste a fish sandwich this good in my life. It tastes better than any high end restaurant. The service was excellent, the waitress was so polite and friendly. I’ve been there several times over the years and I always order the same thing the fish sandwich. As I observed the people that patronize the restaurant. Some ordered takeout and some ate inside. Everything thing I had seen on others plates from the breakfast foods and well stacked deli sandwiches looked good. The restaurant is very cozy and family friendly. I highly recommend it, if you’re ever in the area. 👍🏼👍🏼 and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“We walked into this charming Italian grocery slash pizza spot and were pleasantly surprised. The pizza was excellent—fresh, flavorful, and seemingly authentic. Beyond the pizza, they offer a great selection of frozen pasta, sauces, olives, and all sorts of Italian specialties. It really feels like a little slice of Italy.“

“We were all blown away by the Passover Seder menu. My guests couldn’t believe how fluffy the matzah balls were and the soup was filled with deliciousness! The brisket was so yummy, the chopped liver to die for!! From ordering to picking up couldn’t have been better!! Thank You!! Warm up was so easy too!!“

“Delicious! There is a Korean person at the counter,
If you say you're Korean. They make it to suit Korean tastes.
I thought that sauce was amazing haha
Thanks to you, I ate 2 wraps haha.

Kid-friendliness: Good to eat with children“

“Amazing deli. Wonderful and friendly staff with tasty food. For lunch I recommend the Chevy Chase. They also have a great breakfast selection. The staff is always happy and greets you at the door. They know their customers and remember your order. 10/10 recommend!“

“Everyone behind the counter was very friendly and service was fast. Food is made to order so it comes out fresh. We had the country burrito, a bagel, and the western omelette (which comes with home fries and toast). A lot of food for the price. Definitely recommend this place for breakfast or brunch.“

“A hidden gem in downtown DC. It’s tucked away near the UPS store but it’s delicious and the couple that runs the place does a great job, making fresh sandwiches. The grilled cheese is lovely and the prices are so reasonable! I highly recommend for an affordable workday lunch.“

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

“Food was great. Best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in a while. The crew working this morning was very welcoming and hospitable. The place was clean and organized. It’s clear the staff here cares about doing a good job. Will be coming back as often as I can.“

“My gf and I randomly got pick-up on a whim for late breakfast and their special coffees are CRAZY good we were so surprised. The za’atar bagel is so freaking tasty and they do not skimp out on cream cheese or avocado. Employees are super nice too!“

“Jean’s Deli is the kind of place I’d frequent almost daily if I worked in the area. For its modest size, the restaurant boasts an extensive menu of hearty fare (hot/cold sandwiches, burgers, breakfast items), as well as fresh salads, a fruit bar, and other lighter options. Everything we’ve tried is seasoned just right with generous portions, and the produce they use is unfailingly fresh. The deli’s been run by the same owners for the past 35 years, a couple with the kindest demeanor who put meticulous care into everything they make and serve. If you work nearby or are simply passing through, bookmark this spot and give it a visit.“

“Stopped in to get this restaurant’s reputed Banh Mi. It was Sunday so a tad busy, about half a dozen people waiting on their Bank Mi orders. It was well worth the wait. The shredded pork and tofu Banh mi we had were fresh, large in size, and delicious. Definitely the best we’ve had in the DMV so far. Now we know why there was a long line. We’ll be back next time for the buy 5 get one free deal.

Vegetarian options: Banh mi, bao, and desserts“

“This is an unassuming deli with a wide variety of options, including vegetarian and vegan ones. I got the Caprese panini and it was perfect. The taste, size and ingredient proportions, and presentation were great. The two ladies I met who worked there were welcoming, friendly, courteous and kind. This is my new go-to sandwich place in Bethesda.“

“I wanted to explore and try something new and found this, I went ahead to go inside and was greeted and serviced by one of the best people I’ve seen with great customer service, ordered a turkey sub which was so delicious. I’m definitely coming back and highly recommend this place.“

“Over the past four years, I was a regular at Rock Cafe while working near by - going three to four times a week when working there. Across four years, this adds up to well over one hundred orders. Here is my thorough review on everything!

Service - a lot of us regulars would refer to the Cafe as 'Frank's', after the owner who is there with his team every day. Frank is a great man, who I have had the pleasure of getting to know very well. I would often times go over and he would immediately know my orders depending on the day of the week. Despite being a lean team they are fast and efficient, and if they do forget something are quick to fix it apologetically. During the school year they have dozens of students come between the hours of 11:15 and 11:45, but even then you'll get you food fast enough.

Ambiance - while a simple interior, there is still places to sit both inside and outside. I typically take the food back to my office space, but on a nice day there are worst corporate parks to sit at.

Food - as past reviewers have stated, there are lots of different specials depending on the day of the week. My go-to favorites are the following:

- Chana Masala on Mondays - an appropriate level of spice with tons of flavor. Comes with rice, naan and raita.
- Italian Coldcut on Tuesdays, which come with a side of chips. In general, I his sandwiches were my go-to when I couldn't make a decision
- Chicken Burrito Bowls on Wednesday - a much better value than places nearby and always filled me up. Probably my personal favorite. I would typically add hot sauce too.
- Butter Chicken w/ Naan and Rice on Thursdays - similar to the Chana in that it was very flavorful with a touch of spice, but nothing that should deter away those that aren't completely averse to it. Super popular - they typically sell out before one.
- For breakfast, his sandwiches are the best deal in the area! Fresh bagels and egg with your choice of meat and cheese. Highly, highly recommend!

In general, I also liked the paninis and his chicken quesadilla. I would occasionally get salads, although these were typically my least preferred option.

Overall - for great service and good food at some of the best prices in Montgomery County, you can't go wrong with Rock Cafe! I know they'll also take larger orders if you call ahead of time, so great for work/team events too.

Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair acessable, on ground floor with openable doors.“

“Delicious!!!“

“Young's deli is a fantastic little shop that provided quick and friendly service.

I would recommend their hot sandwiches such as the house panini.

The interior of the shop held clean seating and dining areas.“

“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 have lived in Rockville my whole life and just discovered this Deli when I was looking for something quick to eat in the area. I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the workers were at making each sandwich with care to each of our different wants. The quality of the meat was very good and the sandwich was big and delicious. I ordered the Godfather Sub toasted. Highly recommend. They also have a good variety on the menu and you can grab a beer or wine and bag of chips just as easy.“
