    Very clean and very good prices and very good service. I forgot to get a picture of my food but I just got eggs and bacon and it was fantastic.

    Jack's Famous Deli on Indiana Avenue in DC is a great place to go for all things quality sandwiches and much more. I really like the location and being able to eat inside or outside here. The staff here is very friendly and accommodating to make sure that you get everything you need.

    Classic Caesar with Romaine and chicken

    I must've order the wrong food. Chicken Caesar with chicken and romaine came with iceberg and no chicken. Croutons made the "dinner salad" greasy tasting. I ordered the Turkey pastrami which was described horribly on Ubereats and it was also greasy tasting. I should've took the hint when the Turkey pastrami is described as corned beef. Wish I could give zero stars.

    This place is seldom my first thought for food in the 'hood and that's more because it's not as obvious as neighboring chains (Starbucks! Au Bon Pain! Potbelly's!) but it came on the radar again after leaving the office early on the Friday before Memorial Day. When I showed up after 2:30 pm, the hot food and salad bar had SLIM pickings and yet somehow, I managed to walk away with a plate that cost over $14 so I think it's a little pricey. That said, my plate had everything from potato salad, roasted chicken, meatloaf, orange chicken, mac and cheese, spanakopita, mushroom in phyllo dough, and more. There is also a counter to place orders for sandwiches, and they have fridges with drinks.

    They got my order wrong but the food was still pretty good. It's close to the National Archives.

    Came in for a quick Bacon Egg and Cheese on a roll, left satisfied and happy how crispy the bacon was. A Friday ritual going forward

    I live ~10 min drive north from this location. This is my second time coming for a private event…read moreand both times I've come, I've said out loud, "I should order takeout from them once a week!!" They operate a deli counter in the front and a bar / speakeasy in the back. You can rent out the bar space for private events. Last night, we had the space (and a bartender!) to ourselves, along with 3-4 different types of sandwiches. There is something SPECIAL about their seeded Italian bread. The perfect flakiness and texture. I enjoyed the chicken fontina and Italian. The caprese was my least favorite--not sure if they use a balsamic or what, but the flavor wasn't coming through. Before I left, I decided to order a large chicken cheesesteak to take home for lunch the next day. It was a bit of a risk to order a hot sandwich that I would have in the fridge overnight but I heated it up in our air fryer/toaster oven for all of 10 mins and the bread was good (not soggy) and the sandwich itself was delicious. I enjoyed it so much, I didn't stop to take a photo until the last bite :) It's a decent size sandwich--I ate half for lunch (along with my own chips and veggies) and have another half for tomorrow so while it's not cheap, I think it's reasonable.

    This place fell way off…read more I was fooled by social media and ordered their Thanksgiving sub... false advertising. Did not look like the video - all bread and extremely SKIMPY. The worst part is they charged me nearly $20 for that abomination. What a rip off. I thought they were decent pre-covid, but apparently they just don't seem to care anymore. Other places make loaded sandwiches... save your money!!
