“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 love a good ole Charlie's steak and cheese close to my house . The steakum is pretty well seasoned. The chicken & cheese is pretty good as well as the flavorful wings. Always hot and fresh. The strawberry lemonade it bomb ! The staff is friendly and professional. I hate the ppl hounding for money outside everytime I go but overall pretty good place.“

“Whole wheat bun is great. Veggie sub is packed with cheese and the toppings are great. If you're sensitive about cheese sharing space with meat in the slicer, honestly just ask them to wipe down the slicer before cutting your cheese. They offered the first time we were there and we have asked them a dozen times since and they are always cool about it. Top notch place. We're big fans.“

“I placed a large order for my daughter’s high school volleyball team and needed to make several last minute modifications on the day the order was to be picked up. I called in and spoke with Lucky and the manager Olman. They both were extremely professional, pleasant, and assured me that the order would be filled correctly. They walked me through the process of changing the order and went above and beyond to ensure every detail was correct and my questions were answered. From start to finish the experience was 10 out of 10 - from ordering online, to making order modifications, to picking up the order (shout out to Alec for helping take orders to the car) - I couldn’t believe how smoothly everything went. And best of all the girls were happy with their meals! I can’t say enough how fantastic this experience was and how grateful I am to Olman and team for coming through for us. We will certainly be back!“

“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!“

“This is a nice shop. Quick and friendly service. I often get the breakfast sandwich and it is amazing!! Cute indoor decor with the flowers all over. I only wish they sold espresso-based coffee drinks again! This place is so much better than Life Alive next door.“

“I got the Turkey Special on Rye and it was just… okay? Reading the other reviews makes me wish I had checked them out for recommendations before placing my order, but I had high hopes based on the review average and pricing and was just a bit disappointed.

The shop itself was quite dull in atmosphere, and while I don’t expect every staff member to act like they work for disney, I did feel like I was inconveniencing them just by being there. I don’t know; I’ve lived in lots of places with local delis, and this one just didn’t hit the mark. I’d be willing to come back and try a more highly-recommended choice though!“

“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 had breakfast there: omelette and croissants w/freshly brewed coffee! The place was very clean and the personnel was very friendly and patient. I would go back!“

“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.“

“We love the food ?“

“Best sandwich I’ve ever had. I got the turkey and Brie. You can see the cranberry sauce/relish brewing right there in a big stainless steel pot on the stove right behind the cashier. Everything was warm and melty and delicious.

Great ingredients. Friendly staff. Good music playing. Fast service. Chill little tucked away spot. First time here so I can’t speak to rest of the menu but it’s gotta be great. Five stars.“

“Always on point. Great food“

“This quiznos restaurant serves a lot of testy food and they have a lot of good reviews of this quiznos and the comments in the public are pretty much it will never stop“

“The seasonal coffees are the best :)“

“Will you come in the store the cashiers just woke up and look at you they did not greet you with a hello or may I help you.
I noticed this was too different male cashiers.

Otherwise I love the food the store was nice and clean atmosphere was very relaxed large spacious places to eat wheelchair accessible“

“Great food and service! Always outstanding!“

“Prego Again is a great spot for fresh, flavorful Italian sandwiches and pasta dishes. The bread is soft and fresh, the fillings are generous, and everything tastes homemade. It’s casual and friendly — perfect for a quick, satisfying meal or takeout.“

“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.“

“Here from NC on business and needed some food. Maps suggested so I took a chance and boi was I glad to did.

Great recommendations while ordering! Bulgogi and a Tropical Sunrise Smoothie.

I don't always take pictures of my food. The smell coming from this plate compelled me like a moth to a flame!

If you're in the area, try them NOW!“

“This place... is so... GOOD. I can eat 30 pork wontons by myself. The worst thing about this place is I don't want to share with the rest of my family (it's Pentagon City prices but the only place around here that's actually worth the money).

It's a little hole in the wall with small area for seating. Also has some imported asain grocery items.“

“I went into McAlester’s deli and I believe the cashier name was Iyana and she was so patient and welcoming! She was the best with assisting, helping and even suggesting things. She got me to buy a cookie and i didn’t even come there for a cookie lol. This is the type of service that makes you want to come back time after time. I want her to be my cashier every time!“

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

“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!“

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

“Best steak and cheese ever. All ways polite and never a big wait.“

“New favorite sandwich! The Philly Special comes loaded with shaved ribeye, cherry pepper mayo, applewood smoked bacon, Cooper Sharp cheese, lettuce, tomato, and super thin red onion. Basically, it’s what would happen if a Philly cheesesteak and a BLT had a baby.

The flavors work well together. The ribeye is tender, the bacon adds a little smokiness, and that cherry pepper mayo gives just the right amount of heat without being too spicy. It’s messy in the best way, the kind of sandwich you need both hands (and a few napkins) for.

For $17 it’s packed to the brim and could easily be two meals. Totally worth it if you’re craving something indulgent. Grazie Grazie nailed this one.“

“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.“

“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.“

“I stopped by Pret A Manger in downtown D.C. for a quick breakfast, and it was exactly what I needed — fast, clean, and consistently good. The atmosphere is bright and casual, perfect for grabbing a bite before work or while exploring the city. The staff were efficient and polite, keeping the line moving even during the morning rush.

I tried a croissant and a cappuccino, both fresh and served at the right temperature. The selection of sandwiches, pastries, and juices looked appealing and well-presented. It’s a reliable spot for fresh food, good coffee, and a comfortable break in the middle of D.C.“

“I’ve read the bad comments and I think they are very over exaggerating! This place is the bomb I eat there everyday the cashiers on down to the cooks are very friendly I know everyone by name and when I walk in the door all I hear is welcome to Charleys!! Maybe they visited this location on days where it may have been busy and understaffed but even on those days I still get my food made with love . I give this business a great rating ?“

“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 :)“

“It’s always a treat to get a Deli Combo when in Bethesda! Been going here since I was a kid!“

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

“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!“

“Got a Philly Cheese Steak sandwich and a Diet Coke. It was Vet good“

“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.“

“I was new to the area and just finished a job and was extremely hungry. After scrolling around I found a place that had some food I recognized. Little did I know it would be one of the best plates I’ve had EVER! I had the chicken wings with O.G. Hot Sauce. OMG!!! The crispy breading. The flavor. The tender meat. I couldn’t stop licking my fingers. The waffle fries were well seasoned and fresh. I enjoyed myself thoroughly. I also want to add that the hostess was so patient with me because I didn’t have a clue what I was going to get. Absolutely outstanding. Five stars all around.“

“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.“
