50 Best Delis near Potomac

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

“Wife and I stopped by to pick up some bagels and coffee to go after working out at the Lifetime to cross the street. For to go orders, you walk to the right as soon as you enter and order from the counter. Service was great, and the atmosphere was nice for a quick grab-and-go bagel, but dine-in has table service for you if you wish.We each got an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese and a coffee with cream. The bagel was fantastic, but we weren't huge fans of the coffee.We've heard the pastrami sandwich is delicious here. Will try it and update review. If it's good, I would give this place 5 stars.“

“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.“

“This hidden gem needs to be FOUND by everyone! Met one of the owners, Mark, in Pazzo Pomodoro recently who told me about Nozzo Pazzo. I have since fallen in love with their sandwiches the Bugs Bunny and the Green Arrow wraps (vegan) which I return to get regularly. Then found out they also do breakfast! After Mark described how they make the French toast, I couldn’t stop thinking about it! I had it this morning, and believe me it is melt-in-your-mouth perfection. The place is so beautifully set up, and the tunes playing over the speakers were equally awesome! An absolute must try!“

“Now THIS is a sandwich! The semolina sesame bread is only made better by the STACK of meat they generously pile on, plus all the toppings. I had the roast beef and turkey, and my friend had the eggplant parm… both fanTAStic. Regret I have to drive all the way from Fairfax to get here (we don’t have good sandwich places in the Frfx Sta/Burke area), but I will just to try everything on the menu. Special thanks to the guys who run it - they obviously enjoy people & their job - their friendliness is big enough to fill their small establishment. Take your appetite and GO!“

“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“

“Vegan subs! Truly so happy I found this place, they are doing the lords work.
The vegan Italian was SO good and fresh. Came all the way from DC to try as I’ve been craving a classic sub and vegan ones are hard to come by. Will definitely be coming back!“

“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.“

“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 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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“All of us here at Autopart International love Ziggy Deli! Many of us get breakfast and lunch from them, sometimes both in the same day. They are always nice and welcoming. Their prices are extremely reasonable for the quality and taste of their food! We love you guys!“

“Run by a nice family, this place has been a winner for years. While I do miss Ezat, who used to bake the flatbreads in the back of the store, this market carries many types of great ME breads and many other ME products. While their canned or bottled foods can be priced a bit high, this market is an overall winner! Love it! Superb!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Today Italian Gourmet was amazing getting a tray of sandwiches ready in very short time. They are the best!“

“The place is so neat and the staff are very welcoming and polite. I got exactly what I ordered and I recommend their steak and cheese. It’s so delicious and they pay attention to the toppings I request.
Try it for yourself and thank me later!?“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Sadly, they wouldn't sell me a breakfast sandwich at 10:55 am. But the steak and cheese sub I got instead was WORTH IT. Stuffed with meat, smothered in cheese, soft bread, and mushrooms + grilled onions included. And they prepared it very quickly. Overall entirely satisfied and looking forward to returning!“

“This place is terrible! I went there on a whim but was shocked when I realized they copied jeans deli. If your near Nabi’s, just go to jeans. For the price I expect 20x better than jeans. Edit: After switching my lunch to more Nabis than Jeans, I have to revoke everything I said about them. Nabis is a wonderful place to have a nice lunch and converse with some strangers. W Nabis“

“Reputable meals for holidays or any day. Delicious turkey as well as ham!“

“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.“

“This is one of the coolest shops in the northern virginia area. On first glance it looks like a nice little convenience store but it is so much more. First of all, the products are all handpicked quality items, ranging from some novelty and speciality goods such as snacks to more everyday items such as toothpaste and deodorant. The items are all fairly priced and you can find some really rare finds that are truly amazing. The best thing about this shop is it that the family that owns the store are a wonderful bunch, ready to cater to your every need especially if you are a regular here. If you are ever there and Suly, the manager, is available feel free to ask him anything and he will do his best to accommodate you!“

“Great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Talk about a hidden gem! Nestled in the ground floor of a corporate office building, at that! It's a bit tough to find, but it's totally worth it for the food once you do.Do yourself a favor and order the Bulgogi Sub. It's an undisputed 10/10.“

“Great little spot inside the office building. They were very accommodating to my husband's low salt diet. The bulgolgi was fantastic and the chicken salad and unsalted fries that my husband had were both delicious, even without salt. Whenever I'm this way again, I have a new place to stop into.

Dietary restrictions: Accommodating to low salt diet“

“A small but mighty market. Staff is friendly.

There is a selection of beer, wine, snacks, & drinks. There is also fresh hot and cold food made to order.

I love popping in here for a nice cold turkey sandwich and a bag of salt and vinegar chips.

The turkey sandwich isn't fancy or anything and is a standard brown sack lunch type but it's great in my book.“

“The little deli can fool you. Yes they serve fresh Chinese and Latin dishes! You can't beat handmade and fresh flour tortillas (breakfast only)!Just had a Baleada....yum,yum!!!! My rating is for price, taste and customer service. I found out these are only available for breakfast.Breakfast Baliada and a drink $10-15.“

“Delicious 😋 😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋😋“

“Dominion Eats is my favorite deli / grill in Virginia. The deli uses fresh, high-quality ingredients, which really sets their sandwiches apart. Additionally, their breakfast burritos are the best in town. It is a must-visit if you’re in the area and craving delicious, fresh breakfast and lunch options!“

“I've only done the hot bar/salad bar here and not MTO. Everything always seems very fresh, there's a great variety. The cashiers are super quick. Drink selection is huge (fountain and bottled drinks). Great option if you're super hungry or just need a little snack since the bars are by weight.“

“Honey baked ham is a secret gem. People forget they serve everything from full meals to amazing sandwiches. And they offer order online and pick up in store. So you can be in out and quick. This location was really quick and super clean. If you are looking for a side dish and cant decide. Try the Mac and cheese it is really good.“

“Randolph Deli has changed owners who provide excellent, friendly service. The store now carries a wide selection of grocery items including diet drinks that aren't usually available and various types of beer and wine. Service is quick and the owners go out of their way to give you what you want. I made a casual comment that they carried a lot of diet soda but not diet Mountain Dew. A week later I was grabbing a few quick things and noticed 20 oz and 2 Liter bottles of it! They now keep it in stock just in case. While waiting for food to cook the owners are even helping me with my French.“

“Santini’s staff knows how to make a great Lamb Gyro, NY Subs, Meatballs Subs and their signature boardwalk fries. A small wood bar with HDTV tuned to soccer, baseball, or football depending on the time of year.“

“I work in the office of the bistro and I have to say that all of the food here is so delicious! My favorite is breakfast and my go-to is an egg, sausage or bacon, and cheese in a croissant. On top of that, the employees are super friendly and very helpful. Special thanks to the ladies who serve me every morning, you are all so very sweet! Keep up the good work!!“

“Great fast service! Great people!“

“Love this deli, the husband and wife team make delicious breakfasts and lunch time goodies. Dont miss there freshly baked daily cookies! Friday Chicken paradise sandwich is my favorite, ooh and french toast combo in the morning ,mumm , guess I have multiple favorites.^.^Check them out the next time you go to Shady Grove Fertility, great place to hang out during your parters egg retrieval!#shadygrovefertility“

“I think the best thing about this place is the variety of options. You can get rice bowls, soups, sandwiches, and burgers. They make food quickly so it’s great for a lunch break. I had the fried chicken burger. It was oily but still tasted good!“
