11 Best Delis in Alexandria

“5 stars!!! My wife are in town for an event and wandered down to Eddie's Little Shop for some sandwiches. Absolutely phenomenal!!! ALL OF THEM!!! A definite experience when in Old Town!“

“Great tasting sandwich if you're wanting a quick bite to eat and not looking to spend a lot of money in a number of the restaurants nearby. I ordered the club sandwich. The service was quick even on a busy day. The beverages in the refrigerator section were not very cold because it's open refrigeration and it was a very hot day. I think they could use an ice machine. I would definitely go there again and would recommend this location to others“

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

“Let me tell you the bacon egg cheese and avocado sandwich on white sliced is to die for... No frills and exactly what it should be... And the coffee is good. If you're just starting your day or getting in from work late this is the place to stop... Open early everything made fresh. Well done.. where I'm from they call this a proper greasy spoon and that's not a bad thing!!!“

“I got the lemongrass pork sandwich…unbelievable! So fresh and so flavorful. This place is a true gem.

Edit: I have to add that the nice woman who took my order made my sandwich in front of me on the flat top. She made a sandwich that I think she’d serve to her family and friends. I can’t emphasize enough that if you are looking for a comforting sandwich, there is no need to look beyond landmark deli.“

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

“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'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...“

“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.“
