“I had heard of Call Your Mother when researching good bagel places in DC. The bagels are okay - they are definitely not the chewy New York style I am used to. The everything was a bit underwhelming, however the apple cinnamon had just the right amount of sweetness. The oat latte was actually quite good; it’s a really good cup of coffee with a huge range of bagel sandwiches.Vegetarian options: You can build your own bagel sandwich and add veggies if you have specific preferences.“
“Quite good for what it is. The food is simple, not pretentious and affordable. Sometimes they use cheaper ingredients like their cheesesteak is warm roast beef with cheese and condiments but their cold cut sandwiches are quite good, soups are made fresh, snacks abundant and priced accordingly. The owners and their staff are friendly, quick and will remember their regulars.“
“Have been in and out of that Exxon many times, and never even considered eating here. I was hungry and grabbed a chicken quesadilla to go. It was one of the best quesadillas I've ever had, have since been back and gotten the steak and some other things. The cheese pulls are ridiculous. Hidden Gem!“
“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.“
“I haven't eaten here yet but plan to do so soon. I stop in for something every time I visit my niece and nephew who live in the neighborhood. My niece raves about their salads. They are well stocked for a small shop and the staff is great! I love stopping in just for the atmosphere and to give them business. Small businesses in the city need to thrive, especially when they get it right like these folks have!“
“Absolutely the #1 BREAKFAST AND LUNCH in DMV AREA there has been no other deli I've visited that was as fast and such perfectly prepared down home food. I've been a loyal customer for many years and promise you all that you will NEVER be disappointed each time.“
“We are highly satisfied. My husband and I ordered the single crab cake sandwich, big chair reuben and fries. Everything was so good. Please keep up the good work as related to the quality and freshness of the food you’re serving. It’s definitely needed and appreciated in this neighborhood.“
“Super nice owner I came by for some other business in the building and I wasn't allowed to bring my coffee into the testing center. So after the test I went back and got another cup of coffee and the owner recognized me and said another cup? I told him that the testing center didn't allow coffee in and they made me dump it. The owner was really nice and took mercy on me and let me have another cup for free. The coffee was really really good. I was surprised. Normally when it sits on a burner it gets burnt, but this was really fresh. I guess that's why it's called fresh deli.“
“Found myself in Greenbelt looking for lunch and tried Generous Joe’s Deli. What a great stop for lunch! It’s like stepping back in time when good food was prepared fresh at a reasonable price. The service was super friendly. The cheeseburger was great and the turkey club sub was enormous! I would definitely make this a regular stop if I lived in this area.“
“I could not believe this store. People were lined up outside trying to get in line. This was my first time and I knew the food had to be good with so many people standing in line. I purchased a 7 pound Honey Baked Ham and a small sliced Turkey packet. The manager was so helpful but she sent Mr Alonzo to complete my order. He took care of my needs and brought all the Ham with him to the front counter. I will return to this store again. The food and customer service was outstanding.“
“Upon suffering fractured ribs from multiple police cars smashing into his own, and then being informed by the AI in his armored, jet-propulsion-equipped, Chevy Tahoe that "DC Metro Police Dispatch shows no units in this area," it is quite possible that Samuel L. Jackson's Nick Fury had second thoughts. What if, instead of asking Agent Maria Hill to come to DC in three hours under "Deep Shadow Conditions," he had entertained a less risky plan of hers he never mentioned to anyone? What if he had agreed to an all-members-of-Shield retreat in Greenbelt, Maryland, only fifteen minutes away as the crow flies from DC, and scheduled breakfast at the Uptown Grill at 7501 Greenway Drive? Although it's true he might've been less likely to hear the "Hail Hydras" whispered among Jasper Sitwell, Senator Stern, Brock Rumlow, and Alexander Pierce, it's also true that Hydra's clandestine communications might very well have been disrupted by every agent of Shield ordering "Banana Cakes," pancake-shaped pieces of decadent delight that need no syrup to stymie loose lips and already-lost honor.“
“The food is solid; no frills, but absolutely delicious. The staff is very nice, treats customers with respect, and genuinely appreciates our business.This breakfast spot never disappoints. Ever. Chopped steak and eggs, pancakes, corned beef hash.... you name it, I've had it. And it's all been really good.There's nothing fancy about this place; it's a hole in the wall spot churning out good food, real fast.If you want something quick, hearty, and made to order.... This is the spot.“
“Went to UMD, ordered gyro platter or salad1-2 times per week for years. The gyro is 10/10, ingredients are always fresh, portions are GREAT. Family owned and operated and they make you feel like family when you’re there. Say hi to the owner George (he never forgets a face). I always stop by when I’m in the area or order on UberEats when I need my fix in DC.“
“I was really impressed with the two young ladies Astrid and Blue when I went to grab lunch. I wasn't having a good day and both were so polite and even gave me compliments! I wasn't even going to stop in because it was raining but I'm glad I did. I will be back because the service was excellent.“
“I LOVE it here. I enjoy the soulful cooked meals, the service is very nice and I especially enjoy the other patrons who have been coming here for years and years like myself. I like to sit and have a few laughs . It's a great, fun place to sit,and enjoy. Take out is superb as well. The owner is so kind and I miss his mother as she adored me.“
“No complaints place has good food good prices and kind employees. My plumbing school is 1 minute away and many other students all order from them at once but they can handle the rush with fresh tasty food! I've never ate inside but place seems clean and inviting“
