I'm not a sandwich person but I looooooved the chicken parm. The pesto was perfect added touch. I got a small chicken Parmesean, which was affordable and the portion size was great (I had leftovers the next day). The wait time was a bit longer than I expected as an aesthetically driven person the space is pretty unattractive. But excellent food which is what matters

So cute and so delicious! Familiar with the place from DuPont. As good as I remember. Cute and clean with tons of games. Loved the retro interior. Staff super helpful in directing me to order on the kiosk. Really easy. Super delicious sandwich. I got the small/half and it was really big. Great spot.

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

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

"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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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!

Excellent cheesesteak and pickles. Always hits the spot after a long day of work. Can't wait for the liquor license to be effective.

An Italian sandwich the size of Texas... sign me up!…read more I went into this market when I was exploring Georgetown one day and I naively ordered an Italian sandwich and once they received it I realized it was big enough to feed a family. I found the cutest little park bench and decided to dig in. Needless to say I had left overs but I could have found a way to eat this whole sandwich because it was that good! Every topping was homemade and you could tell. Def a must stop in DC.

I'm a bit torn on this one…read more I stumbled across Stachowski's while looking for a unique local spot for lunch. The sandwiches looked epic and the photos of the place looked adorable for a local joint. We walked over from our hotel in Georgetown and were overwhelmed by the sandwich choices. Caught between the Grinder and the Pastrami, we went with the employee's suggestion for the latter. About 5 minutes later we were handed a wrapped sandwich the size of a football. We found a quiet spot to unwrap and enjoy it and dug in. Frankly, I wouldn't order it again, and I think we would have enjoyed the grinder more. It was just a huge pile of meat on pumpernickel bread with mustard. Flavor was meh. Neither of us was overwhelmed for nearly $25. Props for the cute European goods in the shop, though, and the employees were courteous and friendly. But next time I'll look elsewhere for lunch.

I returned nearly after a year and happy to see improvements in packaging. Love foil wrapping because it does not leak and holds the sandwiches better.

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

People fishing for compliments is the worst right??? But RESTAURANTS fishing for compliments?…read more Perfection, apparently. I was in the neighborhood for a couple days for work and this shop was only two blocks away. Two things I love- a good sub and a short walk - so it's automatic for me. As long as you're ok dropping $25 on lunch, don't miss this place. Honestly you can probably make this a two part lunch/dinner portion anyway. The subs are big. The toppings are plenty. The bread is perfect. They have my favorite like of drinks, Just Iced Tea, and even Utz Salt and Pepper chips. The music is good but unfortunately no one around to give you any flash art tattoos which seems like a missed opportunity given their decor.

If you love sandwiches like me then this is the shop for you…read more Hands down one of the best sandwich shops around. Exceptional service and even more exceptional is the food. Everything is fresh. The bread is from Cardinal Bakery (bonus). They have several popular and unique sandwiches like The Crunchy Boi. Usually split one with the boyfriend. It's turkey, provolone, lettuce, pickles, onions, mayo (we get it on the side) and potato chips. Wow-wee get in my belly goodness! One bite and you're hooked. For real. Get your sammy fix on!

The Portfino sandwich hit the spot and bursting with flavor in every bite! The sandwich was stuffed with a heap of veggies (mushrooms, peppers, onions, arugula) with goat cheese and topped with lemon aioli, delicious! The Monaco roasted veggie sandwich is very flavorful! The sandwich was stuffed with fried eggplant, grilled zucchini, stracciatella, tomato, arugula and roasted red pepper spread. The Parmigiano sandwich with eggplant was more like a Caprese sandwich with fresh mozzarella cheese, greens, tomato, and crispy thinly sliced eggplant stuffed between scrumptious moist Focaccia bread. This isn't a traditional sloppy Joe's Eggplant Parm sandwich (there's no marinara sauce!) While the ingredients were neatly tucked inside and I enjoyed the sandwich, the sandwich particularly was a little bit dry and I think a bit of sauce like pesto or marinara would go a long way. The Nutella Brownie is best eaten at room temperature, it tastes chewy and pretty awful cold. Let it thaw. Note the sandwich shop is now open Mon - Sun 10am - 4pm (it used to be open Wed - Sun and I made the mistake of walking over a mile from work on Tues when it was closed! Great sandwich shop (owned by Red Hen), and wish it was a little closer to work , so I could come back more often!

My husband got the Piccata sandwich, which is a chicken mushroom and caramelized onion sandwich on focaccia bread. This sandwich was honestly a 10 out of 10. It was savory, umami and a little sweet from the caramelized onions. The chicken was really juicy and flavorful--not at all dry. I got the Caprese sandwich which was good, but it could really use a bit of salt. If it was an option to add Bacon, I would've definitely done that. I also wish that they used heirloom tomatoes instead of regular Roma tomatoes. Overall, really great sandwich options and a great place for lunch in the city.
