    Feta sandwich
    Brianna T.

    I have always loved it here, but I love it even more now that I've tried their homemade seltzer waters!

    It was okay! + big & tasty sandwich + chips and dip + clean bathrooms - bag of chips and 2 tbsps of dip = $8 - waited over 30 mins for food - out of Diet Coke

    Large Hebrew Hammer and Large Beef Cheese Steak
    Cynthia C.

    I have slightly mixed feelings because the food was good but my body was wrecked the next day. I tried their Philly cheesesteak and the Hebrew Hammer. They offer both a small and a large, and I got both larges which may have been my first mistake. Those sandwiches were absolute units and stuffed to the brim. I'm obsessed with sesame bread they use for the sandwiches, and you can definitely tell they make them in-house with how fresh and fluffy it is. Between the 2 sandwiches, I like them for different reasons. However, I am very lactose intolerant so I could only have a few bites of the Philly cheesesteak but that may have played a crucial role in my demise the next day. Definitely add some hot peppers to this one! It was tender, savory, and the peppers added a slight kick to cut through the richness of the beef and cheese. The Hebrew Hammer was delicious, but I found the spicy mustard slathered along the spine of the bread to be a bit too horseradish-forward. Overall, solid sandwiches with insane portion sizes.

    "The best hoagie in D.C. is at Bub & Pop's," my editor at The Washington Post always said. When their original downtown location shut down, I was nervous, but they live on- just in a very different space. Meeting a good friend here for lunch on a Friday, here's our experience. 1) Food: With Philly roots, they know how to do sandwiches. You can't go wrong but note that the portion are HUGE. They are so big, it can be messy to eat. I enjoy their beef cheesesteak with hot peppers. It's delicious with the melted cheese on top. 2) Space: It's massive with a bar and plenty of seating. There are also a small bowling alley and arcade games. 3) Service: It's kind. You order from a tablet and staff bring you your food when it's ready. 4) Area: It's along Florida Avenue NW at a very busy intersection. DO NOT TRY TO PARK ON THE STREET NEARBY. Instead, park in the parking garage or snag free parking at the garage behind La Cosecha and walk over. It's a very busy area now with apartment buildings, the Metro, shops, and restaurants.

    So here's the thing the cheesesteak is mid at best. But the fact they cut it with the foil around it, the foil gets into the meat. Not safe. Honestly just wouldn't return

    Do not miss this!! We got a turkey sub, buffalo wings, and a side of ranch. The sandwich was delicious. The vinaigrette they put on it is 10/10. You could also really taste the parmesan. For FIFA right now they have wings for $.60/each which was a great deal. They were also giving out free water ice samples while we were there. If you're there for more of a bar atmosphere they have games and good drink specials. Would go back again!

    When I tell you I had no expectation but it exceeded whatever I was thinking. The wings and them cornbread stick were definitely the star of the show. It was delicious. Now I will say that when I entered the hostess was the friendliest and she acted as if I was supposed to know that you must order from the tablet on the counter. This was my first time visiting so a warmer welcome would have made the experience better. I would definitely order from here again.

    Mike M.

    Inspired by the Guy Fieri stop, I was looking forward to a mom and pop vibe but arrived to a new location that felt a little bit like a blend of a bar meets arcade. Sat at the bar and you had to order each time individually which was a bit weird...no open tabs if sitting at bar and gratuity included each time in bill. Nevertheless, excited to try the Hebrew hammer. Enjoyed the creamy slaw. Corned beef tender and somehow mild on saltiness for multiple meats. I'd go with the Italian next time because that was offered hot. Hebrew was not. Glad I tried it but the Italian is speaking to me if I make it there again.

    Absolutely legendary sandwich spot in DC. I was so glad to discover they decided to to move locations to Noma! I visited when they first opened this new location so menu options were quite limited, but my sandwich was very tasty despite not being my usual order. Although, I got some serious food jealousy towards my friends who ordered the chicken/eggplant parm sandwiches. Staff were very friendly and the new space definitely has strong potential!! It looks like a great hangout spot.

    This is nice bar for friends gathering and games for families with kids. There is a good amount of area of seating and even a couch by the bowling lanes. There is small or even large seating depending on party size. The food is pretty good and everything is house made if I remember correctly. I like the sandwiches since they make the bread fresh every morning. The staff is friendly and very welcoming. You order from the kiosk and get a number and when your order is ready they will yell your number.

    One of the most legit sandwich restaurants in DC. I'm so glad they moved to the larger space in NoMa, I think they've only gotten started there and I'm excited for their menu to expand. The bread is freshly baked, and I love the flavor bomb in each sandwich. Order is via self service screens when you walk in and they call out your order or bring it to your table. Plenty of seating and really cozy!

    Great local sandwich spot! All the subs are great and loaded. The Italian Hoagie is my favorite, it comes with a bunch of Parmesan cheese on top it's great, but the Meatball Parm and Chicken Parm are also awesome too! The sandwiches are like $17-ish each, which isn't bad considering how huge they are. Great spot with a very cute store in NE!

    New location in Noma, pretty incredible sandwiches. Huge sandwiches, you could easily share. Subpar bar, went during happy hour for $5 beer, $9 wine. Wish they had draft beer.

    Once I heard there was a deli with a pickle bar within walking distance of our DC headquarters, I…read moreknew I had to go. My colleague who told me about this place jumped to join me for lunch. I wasn't anticipating a nice dining room to dine in, but there it was so we did. Although it was uncomfortably warm in there. Must have been something wrong with their A/C because they couldn't possibly always have it so warm, especially in the middle of summer. I ordered The Clevelander and she had The Mel. And of course we hit their awesome pickle bar! Why doesn't every deli in the universe have a pickle bar?! The sandwiches are piled high with meat and so delicious. Several complaints about mine, however: the menu said it comes with mayo and provolone. It came out with no spread at all so I was brought mayo packets to apply myself, which is way less than ideal with a huge already assembled sandwich. And the brand new server (on her second day there) came back after we ordered and asked if I wanted cheese. I mentioned I thought it listed a cheese on the menu, which she confirmed. But then I ended up getting charged extra for the cheese that my sandwich was supposed to come with. Kind of lame. And while my friend was asked if she wanted hers toasted, I was not. I didn't think twice about it until mine came out toasted, which I neither asked for or wanted. Lastly, the sandwich was also supposed to come with "fresh cranberry spread" and if there was any on my sandwich, it wasn't detectable. But I decided not to even mention it because I didn't want to deconstruct my sandwich a second time. Regardless of these hiccups, I would certainly consider returning.

I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it

There were a lot of delivery drivers picking up orders so it took a while for me to place my order. Wish they'd have a separate order area apart from pickup. I wanted to eat there but it was way too chaotic with security, delivery drivers and people coming in and out of speakeasy door.

This little store on Columbia Pike functions as a German specialty grocer, deli and sandwich counter. Our focus today was the sandwich counter. One important thing to know is there is no seating of any kind. You will be taking your sandwiches to go. (My suggestion: get a few slices of butter kaese at the deli counter and munch on these on the car ride home. Then enjoy your sandwiches in peace at your abode.) They do offer napkins and plastic silverware if needed. The sandwiches are freshly made to order. You take a number and a deli employee will assist you. They have numerous types of bratwurst to choose from. Additionally a number of German cold cuts. We ordered a Nurnberger bratwurst and the Tyrolean hot sandwich. The breads for both were very fresh and the sandwiches tasty. The mustard on the bratwurst was full of good horseradish! The Tyrolean was moist with a good combination of tender meat and sauce. The bread was a nice mild rye - it was a two hander sandwich! We were both full having eaten these delicious sandwiches. The deli employees were all friendly and efficient. Prices were very reasonable. We would definitely return.

    Hi everyone, just wanted to leave a review of German Gourmet on Columbia Pike…read more Before I begin, I want to identify what the ingredients are for a classic Reuben. You'll need two slices of seeded or marble rye bread, about six ounces of thinly sliced corned beef or pastrami, two slices of sharp Swiss cheese, roughly a quarter cup of well-drained sauerkraut, and two tablespoons of Russian or Thousand Island dressing. A little butter for toasting the bread and optional spicy brown mustard round it out. That said, what I actually received was the absolute worst Reuben I've ever had in my entire life. They used ham instead of corned beef or pastrami, an insult to the name. The Swiss was bland and low-quality, not sharp at all. There was no mustard, barely any Thousand Island, and I couldn't even detect any sauerkraut. The bread wasn't toasted, and they still charged me $12.50 with tax. If this is what passes for a Reuben at a supposed German delicatessen, save your money and go somewhere that actually knows what they're doing.
