Not sure what the hype is about, as I had a very disappointing experience. Came here after catching that a location was opening in downtown DC via WaPo, decided to give it a try. Group of 3, ordered Corned beef hash, pickle bar, Pastrami on Rye with coleslaw on the side, and cherry cheese blintzes with potato pancakes, totalling about $75 before tip.
The corned beef was flavorless (never had to salt it before), the potatos were HUGE for a hash; Pastrami was subpar served with a warm sweet coleslaw; Cherry sauce for the blintz contained no cherry at all while the potato pancakes were just okay.
While they are generous portion sizes, it's not great food--The bagels are good (nice and chewy) and the pickle bar is pleasant.
Ultimately if you are just seeking portion size this place is fine. I wouldn't bring my bubbe here, nor a friend seeking good Jewish deli food.

Seriously! Waited for 30min for a sandwich order. Was given a bag with my receipt but completely different orders. I even asked the woman to confirm and she was like yes that’s your order.

Well known for their oversized and special sandwiches. I ordered a half size pastrami with a potato salad side and it was excellent. Large number of bakery items. Pickle bar. Really great service.

Great as always. This is one of the few places we visit regularly. The sandwiches are gigantic. The half portions are almost too much for one meal! The pickle bar is special.
Fantastic Jewish deli in Maple Lawn. Huge portions and extremely friendly staff. Potato chips are to die for!

This place is a favorite! The food is mind-blowing, the prices are affordable for the area. The staff is professional, courteous, timely, and over the top thoughtful. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! INKTOXICATEDDJ APPROVED!
Wonderful place! Great sandwich, very clean with a huge selection of deli meats, entrees, sandwiches, and desserts! Will definitely come again.
Wheelchair accessibility: Very accessible although it did get busy! There were 2 people in wheelchairs there at lunch and they didn’t seem to have issues entering or leaving as far as I could tell

I was in the area for a Dr. appt and was looking for some breakfast. I stumbled across this place and was happy I did. Everything was fresh and delicious. The blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs with cheddar cheese and turkey bacon. The price was a little high but the amount of food they give along with the great taste was definitely worth it. I will becoming back again when i come to the area.

Don’t bother … went there as a walk in on a Sunday. Was totally ignored. They repeatedly seated parties that can in behind my husband and I. Wouldn’t explain why. Something is off. Very rude and discriminatory. We had been there multiple times before. Will never come back. You don’t treat customers like that. Shame on them. We must have been the wrong color, age or something. Incredibly rude front desk!

Employee refused to bring my take-out order out to me at front counter. He called name from back area. “Unfortunately” it appeared that the store was doing business and with fellow guests noise is common… he yelled from back of course it took a few attempts to be heard in the front area where register and order were placed. Gentleman flat out just stood looking at me from back like I needed to run back… now . The nice employees at the counter & register did apologize but had a hard time deciding who to call up when I asked for a manager. Left me to believe that the person who was… unwilling to bring take out order food to front desk ( not in back of restaurant ) may have been a person in charge
Love the pickle bar!!

Closed on weekends for some reason?!
First few times we visited were positive.
Most recent visit, the staff was rude and we left without getting anything.
Wish they were more consistent.
