    Ordered a bacon egg and cheese bagel and the house omelette for breakfast and we sat outside. Even on a Monday morning, inside was completely full but sitting outside with the gorgeous weather and perfectly in the shade was even better! Great start to the week

    Avocado toast, one egg and bacon

    Jack's place was absolutely hidden gem. I got the avocado toast with one egg and bacon. It was truly delish! And the staff were super friendly. Loved the food and people. Our new brunch spot!

    Sausage and Cheese Omelette with Breakfast Potatoes

    I was down in Old Town Alexandria one day and just needed a good but quick breakfast. I looked up from where my car was parked and saw Jack's Place. So, I decided to go ahead and give them a try. I called my order in so I could wait in the car. My food was ready when I walked in the door 10 minutes later. The staff member at the register was nice, friendly, and made sure to ask if there was anything else I needed before I left (any condiments, etc.) So, the customer service gets a 10 out of 10. I ended up getting their Sausage and Cheese Omelette. It came with Breakfast Potatoes. The Omelette was okay...your typical run of the mill Sausage Omelette, nothing special but good overall. I'd give it a 7 out of 10. The Breakfast Potatoes didn't have much flavor, other than the herbs they put on top. I'd give those a 6.5 out of 10. Well, the customer service was great, the food could use a little extra something to it, but it did its job by being a fast breakfast when I needed it in Old Town. Overall, I'd give them a 7.5 out of 10. I still might give them a shot again and try something else. Maybe their Breakfast Sandwiches are better.

    Nice quaint neighborhood joint. Three bar stools. 4 tables. One seats 4. The others seat 2 each. When we arrived on a Wednesday late morning there were two tables open. A couple or three came in for togo orders. We decided to split the house omelette. Nice sized portions but if you're looking for super sized portions then you'll be disappointed. I would visit again the next time I'm in Alexandria

    Breakfast order and grill chef. Clean little restaurant with great food.

    This tiny restaurant in Alexandria VA, has very good food and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. It's a great local spot, not touristy. The price are good and the service great.

    This a very small restaurant that seats maybe 13 people. We wanted a cheap breakfast so we chose Jack's. The service was great. It appeared to be a 2 person show. A guy on the flat top and a woman taking orders, serving and assisting with food prep. We ordered the veggie omelet and it came with toast and home fries. All for $9.99. The food was very good especially for the price. They use glass plates but plastic utensils. If we lived in the area this place would be a staple for us; we love good, cheap food!

    Among the fancy restaurants and trendy cafes of Old Town is Jack's Place, a local mom and pop shop serving all day breakfast along with lunch. With 2 high top tables and limited counter seating, it is definitely what I would consider a hole in the wall, a gem that one could easily walk past without noticing. However, don't walk past this place without stopping in. It is a local favorite and with good reason. Pricing is modest with a "humble" menu, food is served up quickly and service is friendly. It is the type of place where you can become a regular without breaking the bank. If I lived just a bit closer, I would make breakfast here a weekly activity just to experience the vibe of a stress-free neighborhood hangout. Anyway, support small business and stop by Jack's Place for some good cookin'!

    Bar to sit at to eat, there are 4 tables. Limited seating but so quaint! It's adorable!

    The staff is understaffed and unfriendly. There is no inside seating, and I'm pretty sure Jack is gone. We left without ordering.

    Capo Italian Deli - Old Town Alexandria…read more I reviewed our new Old Town neighbor - Capo Italian Deli - early in 2026. Time for an update. The deli is outstanding. Taking up a tiny footprint on the N. Washington Avenue thoroughfare, a few seconds from King Street, the deli delivers both hot and cold deli entrees, soft drinks, and salads. There's maybe half a dozen tables inside and a couple of tables outside, but from what I have seen thus far, most of the trade is with carry-out service, drawing from the excellent reputation Capo brought with it as it arrived in Old Town (the restaurant has siblings in Shaw NW, and Western Market in the District, Tyson's Corner in Vienna, VA, Annapolis and Potomac, MD). Fresh Philly rolls for those seeking a traditional hero sandwich, with go-to seasonings and all of the essential protein groups. My favorite is a large half roast beef half turkey with lettuce, tomato, and mayo (I skip the Italian dressing, which is part of the default, and I skip the cheese). I can and have made this $18 sandwich last three meals (so I ask them to cut the sandwich into three pieces), and the ingredients stay fresh for the next 24 hours. The last time I did this the sandwich fed me from 4:45 a.m. to 9 p.m., as I served as an election officer at one of Alexandria's polling places. Neat, trim, and completely satisfying. Just a point of concern: given its location, the opportunity to double-park while picking up an order seems to be just too tempting. This location, however, cannot over the long term sustain double-parkers. The deli is about 100 feet from the intersection of King Street and N. Washington Street. There is a dedicated lane for cars seeking to park adjacent to the deli. And then there are two northbound lanes on N. Washington Street. That's it - just two lanes serving one of the busiest intersections in Old Town. If a delivery-service car pulls up alongside one of the parked cars, all hell will break loose by drivers who suddenly find a delivery vehicle double-parking in front of Capo, leaving but one northbound lane open for however long it takes for the delivery agent to gather the order and beat it out of there. This happens with remarkable frequency, starting at about 11 a.m. and running throughout the day. That's not going to make good neighbors of Capo's nearby shops. Alexandria Parking has its work cut out for it, but here the rule prohibiting double-parking has to be enforced - it's both a safety issue and an issue of common courtesy. Doesn't matter if you think you'll just be in and out of the deli in seconds. We know it doesn't work that way, not always, and here - not even often. More often than not the double-parker will be creating a traffic hazard just by parking alongside a parked car in front of the deli. Please, don't do this.

    This review is based solely on the customer service I received over the phone…read more I had placed a $62 order through DoorDash and chose Capo even though there are plenty of other deli spots nearby, because they normally make really good sandwiches. Unfortunately, the customer service this time was extremely disappointing. I called with a simple question about the bread since I have braces and needed something soft. The person who answered the phone was rude and dismissive, acting as if my call was an inconvenience. When I asked which bread was the softest, he cut me off to say they were "super busy" and could only change the bread on one sandwich, not both. I asked again for clarification, and he continued sounding irritated and uninterested in helping. He repeated that they had a line of people and needed to know which one sandwich I wanted to change. For the amount I paid, the lack of basic courtesy and willingness to answer a straightforward question was unacceptable. This will be my last time ordering from Capo in Alexandria, VA.

    Second best sandwiches I have ever had, but best on the East coast…read more I'm in Arlington on business from the West Coast and was looking for a quick lunch spot when I stumbled into this little hidden gem. I've eaten at plenty of delis over the years, but Eddie's Little Shop completely surprised me with flavors I've genuinely never tasted before. The sandwiches here are incredibly unique, creative combinations that just explode with flavor in ways I wasn't expecting. What really stood out were the huge, fresh chunks of real mozzarella, paired with their homemade-style dressings, sauces, and condiments. It's easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever had, and I've tried a lot. The portions are generous, the bread is spot-on. I'll definitely be back before my trip ends. If you're in Arlington, do not miss Eddie's Little Shop Deli. Highly, highly recommended!

    ALEXANDRIA, Va. - Hello, 911? I'd like to report an attempted murder…read more Eddie's tried to kill me with a monstrous sandwich. Saturday, midafternoon, I stop by for an Eddie Mootz ($17) (salami, ham, sopressata, mozzarella, on seeded italian). I'm handed this brown paper bag that weighs, I dunno, 3 lbs? I have to carry this back with me to the Metro. Twice along the way, I have to stop and catch my breath. I get home, my kitchen counter sags a bit where I put the bag down. Cripes, Eddie's. And the sandwich itself? 2 meals, easily. Thick thick piles of meat and a shovel-full of mozzarella. Very chewy bread. I work up a sweat just eating this, there's so much labor involved. I ordered online from the Metro, around the DCA stop, and got a notification it was ready before I got to the King Street stop. Fast turnaround. Eddie's is now on my list of places to make a point of going to for sandwiches in the DMV. Really good sandwich, and a lot of it.

    A fantastic sandwich location. I love a good sandwich!…read more I was able to place an order for pick up just before I got on the train to head back. Brilliant! I will definitely for this again on my next trip. I ordered a BLT on multigrain, and a PBJ w/honey drizzle on sourdough. The PBJ is off the kids menu. I'll ask for extra peanut butter and jelly so it's to my liking. I couldn't tell if there was honey on it, it could have been. The BLT was fantastic. I loved that it was not oiled high with all the ingredients. A simple sandwich. It fit the bill and didn't over fill me. A true classic. The multi grain bread was the best! I need to find out where that is from. It was that good. I hope I'm able to try the tuna fish and the egg salad sandwiches sometime they look delish! The staff were quiet, but got the job done. There is a small bar like area to eat in, and outdoor tables in a covered area to enjoy your sandwich.

    Great little sandwich shop!…read more It's very popular at noontime. I took a break from my 4 hour long painting class upstairs in the Torpedo Factory to snag a bite. My timing was good, because I arrived right before a work group of maybe 10 people or so came into place their orders. In addition to a substantive sandwich menu, which includes both hot and cold sandwiches, there's plenty of beverage (including wine) and snack selections. Wearing an oil paint-smudged apron (FYI: the reality is that you're still going to get paint on your clothes even wearing an apron), I aptly ordered the Torpedo Artist. The Torpedo Artist is a hot Panini-like sandwich. You can select your type of meat, cheese and toppings. By default it includes lettuce, sweet peppers and deli oil. My sandwich was well-crafted with plenty of turkey and Swiss cheese. However, I didn't especially like this sandwich. I wish I had asked them to hold the deli oil because it was overly pungent with oregano. All I could taste in my sandwich was oregano. But older and wiser now, I know in the future that if I have them hold the deli oil, I'll end up with a great and tasty sandwich.

Excellent drink Gindependence Collins- Perfect summer drink, recommended for anyone who doesn't want to drink heavy liquor and those monitoring their sugar intake. Excellent drink Rosie's Negroni- Perfect twist on a Negroni. Excellent drink Needless to say, all of the drinks were perfect. Happy Hour Bites Truffle Fries- this was SO good!

    Let this review be a reminder to Call Your Mother!…read more Call Your Mother started as a neighborhood bagel shop in DC in 2018 and has expanded to several locations, including this Old Town spot and I hear that one will be opening in Wicker Park, my Chicago peeps (if it hasn't opened already). My go-to of a toasted sesame bagel was just perfect, along with the garlic-herb cream cheese. My friend had a gleneagle bagel with candied salmon cream cheese and enjoyed it -- but it was stuffed and overflowing and a little hard to eat. This place is just so charmingly decorated, with friendly people, and nice portions of good deli food. It was also quite crowded (and we went early). Your mom will be happy to know that you're eating well. Call Your Mother!

    I was in Alexandria and craving a good Jewish bagel, but unfortunately the place I usually go to…read morewas closed. So I decided to search for another bakery that had bagels, and that's how I came across Call Your Mother Deli/Bakery. First things first...parking in Old Town is parking in Old Town. It's going to be limited, especially on a weekend, so don't expect to pull right up. I had to circle around for a bit, but the spot I eventually found was only about a two-minute walk, so it really wasn't bad. When I walked in, the place was bright, colorful, and really cute. It has a bit of a loft-style feel and the space was very clean and well put together. The staff was friendly, though not overly talkative, but everything moved pretty smoothly. They had a good variety of options.Breakfast sandwiches, regular deli-style sandwiches, bagels, and juices. I decided on a turkey bagel sandwich on an everything bagel with a juice. Now here's my biggest con: the pricing. The sandwich alone was $15.99, and the juice was $4.99. On top of that, there's the regular sales tax plus the Alexandria dining tax, so the total climbs pretty quickly. After tip, I paid well over $24 for a bagel sandwich and a juice. For me personally, that's pretty steep for what is essentially a bagel with toppings. That said, the food itself was very good. The bagel was fresh, chewy, and flavorful, exactly what you want from a good bagel. The ingredients tasted fresh, and the sandwich was satisfying. My only small tweak would be that I wish I had asked for a little more mayo, but that's more of a personal preference. Overall, the quality of the bagel is definitely there, and the sandwich was delicious. However, the pricing would probably keep me from coming back regularly. At that price point, it doesn't even feel like an occasional treat. It's just hard to justify paying that much for a bagel sandwich. If price isn't a concern, the food is solid. But for me, the cost is the main thing that would make me think twice about returning.
