    BLT+A
    Tracy N.

    First timer -- Just had the BLT+A at McAlister's and wow. I'm not even a sandwich person but this one hit different. Maybe it's the herb mayo. Whatever it is, it was really good.

    They have won me over. McAlisters offered amazing food, hot and perfect portions. They workers were very helpful and attentive. They made sure we had refills and picked up any finished plates to clear up the tables. It is a very busy location but the reasoning behind that is valid, it wasn't too loud neither. They delivered fast service and delicious food. This is now my go to place for saldas, soups and sandwiches.

    French Dip
    Tanya S.

    Have eaten here twice with the fam. I got the French Dip which was quite tasty. The rest of my family had Jalapeño turkey crunch, chicken barbecue crunch and chicken salad sandwiches. Everything was fab. (And yummo! Pickle) If you're ordering any of the sandwiches that have chips (i.e. crunch) for take out. As your side get a bag of that flavored crunch. Because the crunch isn't crunchy once you get home. And having the crunch be crunchy is key to the sandwiches deliciousness. I got an iced tea as well which is equally as fab. Online ordering and pickup was easy. So happy to have another good sandwich spot in Springfield! Definitely recommends

    Ruben with potato salad.

    Everyone had something different from the menu. Including 12" french dip. I had the Ruben with the potato salad. We had to carry out. Everything was good as usual.

    I don't know but I wasn't a big fan of the food. I had a soup and sandwich and felt like I could've gone elsewhere for better.

    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.

I ordered a sandwich and wanted to make it a combo but they only do it with fries, no chips. For most, thats an awesome deal - I just personally wanted chips. They have the fancier drinks and not your typical soda options so keep this in mind. My roasted turkey sandwich was $14.95 to start, and toppings like pepper relish cost extra (I feel like a spread should not be half a dollar but sure). Meat quality was good and bread felt fresh but just a little hard to chew. For basically 16$, there was only two thin slices of provolone. Compared to some of the photos I saw, the sandwich was a bit lacking on the toppings of meat/cheese. People super friendly and service was quick. They had tons of desserts, pasta salad, and a few actual pasta dishes on the menu too. I'll have to come in to give them a try for a cheesesteak or the caesar salad wrap next.

    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.

The worker at first looked confused when I mentioned the weekend special platter, and after I showed her the Instagram post from Jummah Bakery about the special, she at first said that it was a breakfast item only. The Instagram post listed a time from 10am-1pm, and it was noon when I arrived. When I pointed out the time, the worker seemed to make excuses again to say that the item wasn't available that day. This was despite signage in the restaurant mentioning about the weekend special. Also I was weirded out by the fact that there are burgers on the menu, it seemed really unnecessary. *Wraps: We ordered the chicken kabob wrap and beef gyro. I suppose they were edible, but very lacking of the level of depth and flavor typical of Afghan food that you'd find in the typical Afghan kabob restaurants in the area. The chicken wrap even contained ketchup which turned the flavor into basic American!! *Desserts: We also ordered multiple pastries / sweets that were behind the very inviting glass displays. My favorite was the baklava, the remaining ones I tried were just okay. As usual with this type of cuisine, the desserts are quite sweet. *Tea: They have multiple types of chai tea, I ordered one, it seemed to lack in actual tea flavor and had a weird egg flavor that didn't balance well with the tea. I wouldn't order it again. As much as I want to support a neighborhood ethnic-owned business, the questionable customer service and watered-down food makes me hesitant. It's really sad because the bakery looks very beautiful and has so much potential, but I think it's not managed well, the customer experience ends up feeling bizarre and inauthentic.
