50 Best Delis near Mclean

“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'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.“

“The best shawarma I've had in VA! A hidden gem in the heart of McLean - perfect for breakfast and lunch. They make delicious sandwiches, salads, and sides. I've tried shawarma in many places in the area, but their beef and chicken shawarmas are truly the best I've had in a long time. The meat is tender and flavorful. Their customer service is amazing and they also have outdoor seating. Highly recommend!“

“Very nice and convenient place to eat. I work at the Galleria, which is right around the way. The menu has variety and the staff are very friendly and professional. You could eat outside as well and enjoy the beautiful scenery of Tysons II business park. 👍🏽💯🍗🍔🍟🍕🌭🥪🌮🌯🥙🍳🥘🍲🫕🥤🧋🧃🫡😎“

“As a New York Pizza lover, my pizza standards are extremely high and I’m big on taste and size. This place assuredly get 10 out of 5 stars; with no equivocations!!! It’s going to be hard transitioning back to a typical mundane pizza restaurant after experiencing Santini’s. Grateful to finally know there is a true authentic New York pizza restaurant in the DC area. I also appreciate the professional friendly service. Did I mention that i travel 45 miles to get to the closest Santini’s?! 👍👍“

“One of MD best dinners. This place would go head to head with any of NJ establishments.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“they give you more than ypu need. fulfillment!!“

“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!“

“I love the food here and the people who run it. The food is amazing! I am here at least once a week. There is such a variety on their menu and their daily specials are always great to try. Stop by if you're hungry, you will not be disappointed.“

“Just had a phenomenal sandwich here.

The old town waterfront doesn’t have many(read: any) fast takeout/lunch options. This place would’ve been great just by virtue of being the only option, and yet here they are, being actually great on their own merits.

Excellent bread, fresh meats, succulent sweet peppers. Top tier stuff that the waterfront has desperately needed.“

“A go-to spot near the office for fresh sandwiches. Friendly staff and consistently great food.“

“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.“

“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“

“From delicious fresh cold cuts & cheeses, home-made entrees, fresh sausages, Italian Staples and condiments to the friendliest best service in town. Makes great sandwiches, subs, fresh breads and cookies. Now full of holiday treats. Can’t wait to order a special platter for the holidays! A unique shopping experience - slow down and enjoy yourself!💖🇮🇹😋“

“Solid family-owned deli serving up bagels and sandwiches for a relatively reasonable price. The turkey avocado sandwich was good but needed a little salt and pepper. They don’t bake their bread or bagels or smoke their meats in-house, but it’s still a decent spot if you’re in the neighborhood. I’ll be back to try a breakfast bagel.“

“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.“

“Solid little deli. This is basically DeliClub under new ownership and many of the menu items remained the same. I'm a fan of the avocado BLT and the chicken curry sandwich.Sandwiches come with a bag of chips.

Vegetarian options: Caprese salad, burrata and figs salad“

“I love City Place Cafe and the staff is amazing🥰“

“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.“

“We stopped by on a Friday close to noon. My husband had been here in the past and recommended it. They have a varied menu with lots of drink and chip options.
I ordered the Philly cheesesteak with no hot peppers or tomatoes with a side of onion rings. The sandwich was average, but the onions were cooked nice. The breading on the onion rings were a bit much.
My husband ordered Miami Nice and he said it was very good- tender chicken, lots of flavor.
I also got their lemonade and fresh baked cookies. Both were quite good.
The staff was nice and we did not feel rushed to ordered quickly as it took some time to review the menu.
We opted to do carry out, but they do have a good size seating area.“

“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.“

“We were all blown away by the Passover Seder menu. My guests couldn’t believe how fluffy the matzah balls were and the soup was filled with deliciousness! The brisket was so yummy, the chopped liver to die for!! From ordering to picking up couldn’t have been better!! Thank You!! Warm up was so easy too!!“

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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 :)“

“I had a wait for service at the nearby LabCorp. Google directed me to this “deli near me”. It is on the ground floor of an apartment with an exterior door. The breakfast and lunch menus are extensive for a little deli. The cheese steak and the turkey avocado wrap were delicious.“

“Best bagel I ever had! Great customer service! I love this place! Hilltop!“

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

“20241031 First time here. Bring cash to save credit card fee $$$. This is a very simple deli with a reasonably priced menu. I got the warmed combo sandwich that came with lots of meat! I wish there was an option to add some veggies like onions, raw or grilled. I also would have liked it better if each slice of meat was grilled separately, which would be tastier. I should have asked for the bread to be warmed on the grill as well. I need to lower my expectations ?. The employee was friendly and helpful. I wished he mentioned the daily special, which was displayed by the register and not by the overhead menu. I would have gotten that instead of a sandwich. I like their drink options. I never had soursop drink, and it was not sour (thankful) and it was real good! The owner was very nice. If I come back, I will try the special.“

“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.“

“Vace is a DC institution in my eyes. I enjoy stocking up on the homemade sauces and pastas to store in the freezer. I also like the imported Italian brands they carry. My favorite thing to buy is the pizza dough. It's the best of the best and will hold up in the fridge for several days or more. The staff told me to leave it out for 4 hours before stretching it and topping it. That works well. I may also get a slice to go!“

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

“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!“

“All of the products are authentic and amazing quality. My father in law said that the stuff from this store were the same products he had from his childhood when he lived in Italy. He was very happy with the gift basket I made from the products here. The Italian cold cut is AMAZING and I always get one every time I visit. The pizzas are very tasty too. My fave is the white pizza with onions and my husbands favorite is the cheese and also gets toppings too but if the cheese pizza is good then everything else is a bonus. ONE Bite, everyone knows the rules. 😉“

“Quality food. Good selection of munchies and drinks. Always neat and clean. Owner, counter, and kitchen tean are friendly, courteous, and just nice folks.

Parking: Parking can get tight on the cafe side of the building. Go around to the other side for a larger lot or access to the parking garage.

Wheelchair accessibility: Level.“

“Went to restaraunt 2 minutes before closing and they allowed me to come in and order! Very sweet employees with great customer service.! I ordered a deli sandwhich on sourdough bread very good. My aunt had the tuna salad it was delicious and fresh!!!!“

“Great food!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“First time going here today, went for breakfast. Good service, good coffee, amazing stuffed French toast, & The Home fries 🤌🏼 Will definitely be back!!!“

“Jimmy and his wife have created the perfect breakfast sandwich per my request. On Thursday's they have crafted a delectable Salmon, egg and cheese sandwich w/ lettuce , tomato and tarter sauce on a toasted bun. 😋 It's the Bomb ! Kudos to you guys for a truly delicious alternative .“

“Stopped in to get this restaurant’s reputed Banh Mi. It was Sunday so a tad busy, about half a dozen people waiting on their Bank Mi orders. It was well worth the wait. The shredded pork and tofu Banh mi we had were fresh, large in size, and delicious. Definitely the best we’ve had in the DMV so far. Now we know why there was a long line. We’ll be back next time for the buy 5 get one free deal.

Vegetarian options: Banh mi, bao, and desserts“

“If you're looking for a light, homemade meal, this is a must-visit. They offer a wide selection of sandwiches, deli items, and drinks. The food tastes great, the staffs are friendly and the price is reasonable.

Their Steak and Cheese Sub is my fav!“

“Words cannot describe the amazing sandwich I just had (spicy turkey melt). It was beyond compare and I could die a happy man knowing I will likely never have anything as delicious as that sandwich again. I have but two regrets as I write this review. One is I did not take a picture to show the artistic beauty of the sandwich to give you fair reader a glimpse at sandwich nirvana. Two was that I did not order another one.“

“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.“
