Delis near Kensington

“A throw back deli like the best NY has to offer. You’re as likely to see your old Hebrew school teacher enjoying a white fish platter as you are a landscaping crew chowing down on bagels and lox. Service is quick and courteous; pickle bar is plentiful; sandwiches sumptuous; desserts decadent. Chicken soup and matzah balls like grandma made. Eat al fresco in nice weather. What else do you need?“

“The pink exterior of this building is unmissable; it seems to have become a must-visit brunch spot for those living in Georgetown. While we may have forgotten what we ordered, one thing not to be missed is their "spicy honey" - it elevates the taste of the bagel to a whole new level. Seating is limited, so it's first come, first served!“

“Quite good for what it is. The food is simple, not pretentious and affordable. Sometimes they use cheaper ingredients like their cheesesteak is warm roast beef with cheese and condiments but their cold cut sandwiches are quite good, soups are made fresh, snacks abundant and priced accordingly. The owners and their staff are friendly, quick and will remember their regulars.“

“I was recommended this location by a friend who tried CYM and I loved it! The little deli (food truck) was near my house and was a pretty quick trip. The ordering process was seamless. I ordered online and picked up my order right the window. I got a Sun City Bagel which featured cheddar, eggs, and bacon! The food was HOTTTT and fresh... literally to die for! It stayed warm even an hour later when I finished my nail appointment that I was heading too! Also the branding and location is just aesthetic! Even though this is a food truck location, they did have a few parking spots which was easy enough to just park and get out grab my food and go! Good food + aesthetic location = happy Cindy“

“It’s been 5 years since I last ate here, and it feels like old times today. The breakfast platter taste just like I remembered, the staff is very he beat as always. And they remember me and the melts my heart. #bestbreakfastDC #toptenstaff #“

“DANG, WOW, HOLY.....What an AMAZING, OUTSTANDING, GLORIOUS customer service!I called in my order (I'm a virgin with this place), and even though we were on the phone, you could feel how wonderful the person on the other side was.Then, after 40 minutes, I arrived since I was driving from Virginia.The experience was even better! A warm smile paired with a how may I help you was the perfect and refreshing greeting after all the traffic and time. It was as if the lady was happy to see me... I can't put my finger on it, but she made you feel at peace , and as if the world was pure bliss. Just an amazing personality.FOOD:The Kilbasa Reuben, simple but full of flavor. The bread, sausage, and mustard blended harmoniously. I couldn't stop eating it. The only thing I didn't like was that I didn't get two or more. It was very, very good.Polish sampler: A little bit of everything, but everything was spot on. If you're like.Me that you have never been to this deli, then you definitely must go for the sampler.Cheesecake: This is the preferred way a diabetic wants to die..... DELICIOUS! Not the American store sweet version. The perfect grandma sweetness version.Sweet Cheese Crepes: Oh YEAH!!! Brings back beautiful memories from when I had them in Russia.Filled Donut: (don't remember the name) Only item not my cup of tea. Again, tastes were there. Just for me, something was missing. I think that I got used to a bit more moisture. I do remember it was similar to the ones I had in Russia.Potato Salad: It definitely fills me up with memories and flavors.PARKING:Lots of space. You shouldn't have problems with it.SUMMARY :The food was GREAT! The atmosphere was normal, but the customer service was out of this world. They have to thank God, they're so far from me because they would have to kick me out! ? ? ?RETURN FACTOR:? %RECOMMEND A FRIEND FACTOR:? %IT'S A MUST VISIT PLACE!“

“Thanks to other reviews, I found this place fairly easily. What a great little mom and pop spot! The prices are beyond reasonable! I had a sausage egg and cheese on a bagel and home fries. Both were delicious and my total was under $10! Definitely try it out if you're in the area!“

“Very busy place with lots of good snacks (and supplies if you're short on something for the home) and food! The prices are a little up there but I'd say it's worth it for the most part. Make sure to get napkins for the sandwiches! They're really messy!“

“Have been in and out of that Exxon many times, and never even considered eating here. I was hungry and grabbed a chicken quesadilla to go. It was one of the best quesadillas I've ever had, have since been back and gotten the steak and some other things. The cheese pulls are ridiculous. Hidden Gem!“

“Food was excellent! Staff very friendly and food was prompt and made as soon as the cashier took my order. Seems like a mom and pop shop and the area is clean. They were very generous was the potatoes in the breakfast box and the pancakes were nice and fluffy and buttery. They also wrapped my toast with jam and butter to go! It was brought to me in a plastic bag. It was very, very pleasant experience and I will go again! (first yelp review!)“

“Filippo's may be the most complete Italian deli in Montgomery County. Some have cold cuts, some have baked goods, some has selections of pasta. Filippo's has it all plus the best pizza dough I've found and at a bargain price. Others have praised their sandwiches but they may have the definitive local cheesesteak. I don't know if they still do it but they used to bring in their rolls from Philadelphia. Hidden on the street behind 'Dunkin but worth seeking out.“

“Excellent choice while in DC. The bagel and locks, and the corned beef and pastrami egg and cheese on everything bagel was absolutely fantastic!I see some others left 1-star reviews in regards to staff being negative. I mean, the title of this shop has "So's Your Mom"!C-mon! They're just yankin your chain before you even walk inside :)Live a little, am I wrong? Laughter is the best medicine.Food was awesome. Don't come in if you're too uptight, so, get your momma to pick up your order from here after you call ahead.“

“Jack's is a circus and with that, welcome to the big top and enjoy the show. I have been expanding my reach for lunch while in the office. Most people I work with don't like to venture out too much, but for me, I will put in the footwork to find a new place that I can throw into my rotation.After a quick walk I was here and thrown into the madness with everyone else. I purposefully showed up after what I though was going to be the lunch rush and was surprised by the amount of people still piling in to grab themselves some lunch like me.I'm going to be honest here, I had no idea what I was doing in here as it was my first visit. I had no idea how things worked in this circus, but I was going to try my best to fit in. When I got inside I stood in a line that I though was the place to be. I had no clue if this is how this place flowed, but I went with it. Luckily for me it was the right thing to do. That line had constant movement and before I knew it I was at the front and placing my order. I ordered two sandwiches and fries (they were on special that day).Then this is where you get to sit back and enjoy the show. After you order you are given your number for your order and you kind of just get pushed off to the sides and are able to take it all in. This is where I realized that there really isn't any one particular way to go about getting food in here. In the middle of it all is the hot/cold bar where you can order salads, sides and soups. I was wondering how some people were getting out of here so fast and that was it, some knew they wanted to just have some soup or nosh on a salad and that was the way for them.As I am watching the show in front of me, I keep getting pushed back further and further to what I am assuming is a corridor that connects to the main building or the restrooms. I kept seeing people getting their orders as I stood there. Finally they called my number and told me I still had to wait for the fries. If I would have known it was going to take that long I probably wouldn't have ordered them. But that also let me look over the coolers for a drink and then eventually get a dessert, even though I didn't need one.My fries were finally done and I got in line to pay. The circus continues here as there are multiple lines, but no one knows which one they should be getting into. With my food in hand and having paid, I was finally able to get out the door and back to my office.I ordered two sandwiches here because I knew I was going to be in the office late that evening and it was like killing two birds with one stone type of situation. For my lunchtime sandwich I went with a BLT as I have been on that kick for a minute now. It was delicious and I was happy to have that pickle wrapped up in there with it.For my later meal I went with an egg salad sandwich which I knew would hold better in a fridge for later. Also paired with a pickle. My soda choice matched perfectly and that, my friends, is how you get a show with your meal. Go to a vibrantly busy business and watch the mishmash of people buzz about.Not bad for review 3,300!“

“Despite there being a very busy lunchtime crowd, the staff moved efficiently and quickly like a well-oiled machine. Deli-style sandwiches, wraps, paninis, subs, and salads. My gyro Greek salad came with tzatziki, and a tasty pink Greek dressing on the side --also loaded with thin-sliced gyro meat. Excellent lunch for those on the go.“

“Great little shop located in lobby area of a professional building. Shelves are stocked with many different options as well as healthy fruits and vegetables. Would recommend anyone doing business in the 8720 Office Building to check them out.“

“First and foremost, the food at Terrace Deli is great. Their menu offers a wide variety of options that cater to all tastes and preferences. The quality and freshness of their ingredients are simply unparalleled. The service at Terrace Deli is warm and inviting. The staff is friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome and ensure that your experience is comforting. Whether you choose to dine in or grab a quick bite to go, you'll find the atmosphere to be comfortable and welcoming as well. The prices at Terrace Deli are reasonable, considering the quality of the food and service. You'll leave feeling satisfied both in terms of your taste buds and your wallet. This place is a hidden gem that deserves all the praise.“

“Awesome food for the price. Everything is super fresh! They have gluten free bread which was very good! Friendly staff and fast service! Cute little cafe. Hidden gem for sure!Dietary restrictions: Gluten free bread option that was very good!“

“This place provided a taste of Pennsylvania in suburban Maryland, it’s a great addition to the local food scene. They have an impressive variety of products. I got a kielbasa sandwich and ate half of it in the parking lot. I also picked up some cheese. Very nice people. The lady behind the counter was generous with samples that helped me find the right things to buy.“

“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.“

“It's me again I ordered a lot today for my family and we loved everything. Slyvie and her husband are amazing. I love this hidden gem deli spot. I love their food so much!! The service is always perfect everytime I go!! They do such an amazing job. It's such a homey shop. I love coming here. Slyvie her husband and team are so kind. Thank you sooo much always for everything and we love your food“

“There’s no shortage of good delis in Washington, D.C.- Carl’s Subbs, Mother Rucker’s, Mangialardo’s, among others. 2 Sisters Deli may not stand with the giants, but it’s a worthy contender, especially for a no-frills deli in an office building. Surrounded by government buildings, it’s one of the few places to grab a good local lunch that’s not a chain. Stopping in for lunch, here’s my experience.1) Food: The line is long, but it moves quickly during lunch with so many people taking orders. Know what you want so you can order right when they ask. They sell classic sandwiches, specialty sandwiches, melts, and wraps.I ordered the Wall Street Club without tomato and it was good. It comes cut in half and was the perfect amount of food. I added a fountain drink and chips (Sun Chips).2) Drinks: There’s coffee, bottled drinks, and a Pepsi soda fountain.3) Service: It’s quick and no time for conversation, but it was a good experience.4) Space: It’s no-frills and there are a few tables with chairs in the back if you’re one of the few who don’t get your sandwich to go.“

“I haven't eaten here yet but plan to do so soon. I stop in for something every time I visit my niece and nephew who live in the neighborhood. My niece raves about their salads. They are well stocked for a small shop and the staff is great! I love stopping in just for the atmosphere and to give them business. Small businesses in the city need to thrive, especially when they get it right like these folks have!“

“The price is very reasonable for the portion. The best is their dessert. I highly recommend the brownie sundae. It's enough to be shared by 4 if eat an entree 1st. It's got a beach vibe even though it's next to a car dealer and busy street. Very casual, indoor & outdoor seating. Family friendly and friendly staff.“

“Stopped here for the first time last week and boy was I blown away! It’s easily become a favorite place. I got the Thunderbird with Cheesy Yuca bread (gluten free) and I inhaled it in minutes! All of the flavors and textures worked together and it was absolutely delicious! It was also so filling, in a way that breakfast sandwiches are often not. I also appreciated that it was just your typical BEC either. My oat milk Mocha was also delightful, which was especially satisfying as it was decaf. All in all, I can’t wait to return!“

“Pizza for $2.50 a slice. Very old school Italian deli. It was great to see this kind of place still going strong in an age of chain markets and restaurants. We also picked up some funky looking pasta sauce. We'll definitely be coming back to get olives as a party appetizer, or a pizza as takeout.“

“Best sandwiches in Bethesda. Very high quality ingredients. Imported meats and cheeses sliced with an old fashion slicer on great bread. Amazing.Great selection of imported pasta and other Italian items. All very high quality.The store is packed with imports. It is fun to see all the different types of pastas...The store has two small inside tables and a few outside seats.If the owner isn't in his cell phone is posted so you can contact him.“

“Quick breakfast/lunch place! We got two subs and two drinks for lunch, which costed lesser than $20. The service is very good, friendly and efficient, so even if you see many people in the store, you won't wait much. For a wrap, I could choose a wrap type so I had green spinach rather than regular wheat or other types. The ingredients were super fresh, and the portion was also great. Way way way better than going to Subway, which doesn't have fresh ingredients or offer this price. There are a range of sub menus so I would try another one again. There are two tables inside and many outdoor seatings outside.“

“Listen, I order GrubHub seven days a week OK I never heard of this restaurant before I ordered three sandwiches first of all the patty melt is so good and came so hot off fresh off the grill it burnt the top of my mouth and I couldn’t do anything but keep eating it. Amazing flavor freshness, quality, if I ever wanted to learn how to make sandwiches, I will go to university wise Miller, deli superior I’ve been in DC 13 years and I always learned something new or new place to go. This place never seems to amaze me keep up the five star business, I love it.“

“Take my reviews with the knowledge that to get a five star it has to be perfect. We visited on a Sunday morning around 10am and there was no line and about 3 tables taken. Nearly all the bagel options were all gone. Most of the tables were available, but we could only find about 3 that weren't dirty. Service at the counter was polite and efficient.Food was as anticipated, good enough bagels, not the kind that you have to chew into and pull hard to snap off a bite. Bagels are easy to bite into. I was pleased that I was given more than enough cream cheese, possibly too much! The cappuccino was also as expected. $9.05 for large cappuccino and a plain bagel with cream cheese (March 2024).“

“You know when you find a restaurant where there’s a steady stream of diverse customers, half of which finish their transaction with “see you tomorrow!” - that place is doing something right. So welcoming and the food is EXCELLENT, classic deli food done really well with an Asian spin. If I lived near here I’d definitely be one of those regular, “see you tomorrow” customers!!“

“I’ve worked across from Jean’s Deli for over a year now, and decided a few weeks ago to give it a try. Jean’s Special is my absolute favorite and go to sandwich. I’ve been contemplating to order two sandwiches, instead of one, for future visits. I love the friendliness and the variety in their menu!“

“I got the spinach and cheese pizza and I can tell you this is the best pizza I have ever eaten! If you are a fan of thin crust, go enjoy! I am from out of state and plan to order a whole pizza to take back home. I also ordered the meatball sub which paled in comparison, but was also good.“

“Needed a quick bite to eat after a concert & going to out hotel close by, had the chicken wrap & some wings. We enjoyed that it was made fresh on the spot & tasted great especially at midnight, the casher was UNFORGETABLE with his catchphrase "alright awesome!" He's definitely a highlight. Would definitely swing by this small hidden gem!!“
