11 Best Delis in Alexandria

“The ribeye sandwich is insanely good—tender prime rib, thin sliced provolone, a pillow soft hoagie roll, and dipped in jus or on the side. Eddie’s has a good thing going!“

“The sandwiches here are unbelievably good. I went for the torpedo artist with turkey, cheddar and sweet peppers. I've never had anything like the sweet peppers before, and they added something to the sandwich. The sandwich was perfectly toasted with delicious turkey inside. If you're in Alexandria, then avoid all the chain shops and come here!“

“Cute shop with indoor and outdoor seating. Yummy sandwiches with some unique combinations and good assortment of chips and cold drinks.“

“Super fantastic customer service and food! Leonard was amazing. Much appreciated after a long day.“

“Absolutely fantastic deli! The sandwich was fresh, perfectly stacked, and packed with flavor, and the fries were hot, crispy, and seasoned just right. What really stood out was the customer service—friendly, welcoming, and genuinely happy to make sure everything was perfect. You can tell they care about quality and their customers. It’s my number one choice !“

“Great little breakfast/lunch spot. Very reasonable prices and great assortment of drinks, chips, and snacks in addition to the pictured menu. The food is a little bland but they have salt, pepper, Old Bay, soy sauce, ketchup, and hot sauce available so you can season to your liking. The people who work here are very kind and make it enjoyable to come back :)“

“I've eaten here twice before and the service was fast, prices were reasonable, and the food was excellent! We came today at 1:40pm for pancakes and bacon but when we arrived the Open sign was turned off and the ladies told me they had already put everything away and were about to shutdown, which I found ridiculous! It looked like they'd had everything put away for quite some time since they were actively cleaning at that time. If you ask me, a restaurant should take orders until closing time, but perhaps that's just me...“

“This is by far the best breakfast affordable place to visit. These two ladies that work there from Guatemala Are amazing. Their level of customer service is beyond exceptional And I am big on customer service. They give you motivational feedback.

I ordered an egg and cheese scrambled on a croissant. Let me explain to you how good the sandwiches, it’s light and buttery it’s fluffy, The croissant is fresh. The egg is not salty. Overall, this will be my only place to visit for breakfast in the Alexandria Virginia area. It is actually the only breakfast place that I will visit anywhere, if I am in the DMV.

Thank you for making great food!“

“I love this deli. I come to this area for doctors appointments occasionally over the past couple years and because of tight scheduling with work stuff, have frequently needed a convenient healthy breakfast or lunch option on my way into/out of the appointments. The food here is FRESH and they have a lot of healthy, non-fried foods to choose from. The beverage selection is enormous, both in the fridges and fountain drinks and coffee pots. The staff are so friendly and service is fast. Awesome menu.“

“A hidden gem in Del Ray. Fantastic subs and a crazy selection of craft beers. So good.“

“Adjust expectations entree by entree. Say yes to tacos, skip the ceviche unless you want something that is (admittedly okay) prepackaged. I don't have a benchmark to judge the rest of the entrees, but so far I've enjoyed their steak and papusas. The steak is fairly thin, tender, and the papusas taste pretty good with the pickled cabbage but could use a reheating if ordered for ubereats. Prices are good for the portions you get.

Only complaint is that the beef tongue is not consistently moist and tender.“
