Such a great find by my friend. I love a nice roast beef sandwich. As soon as my friend recommended us about this place, we had to try it out. I recommend sitting near the counter area to get a nice in house service experience. If you sit at the table, they give you to-go containers. At the counter, they offer you in a nice dish. All of us ordered French dip. I added a fried egg as I was very hungry. The beef is rare to medium rare. It was so delicious. Highly recommend it. Fries were alright to be honest. Definitely going back again to grab lunch sometime soon. read more

For the past couple of weeks, I haven't been fully satisfied with my food. One, i eat garden salad at least three times out of 6 days. The salads have not been fresh, ingredients missing, and prevention sucks. The temperature is questionable. Secondly, they do not follow the order notes omitting condiments. Last, not putting entire order in bag and when order is delivered, all items are not with order. This is disgusting. I have been a customer for years; however, this type of service lately, makes me question if I will continue. read more

This popular sandwich shop is a must when you're area. MGM Roast Beef knows how to make their sandwiches. I ordered the French dip. It came with generous amounts of juicy meat and was filling. The ambiance is casual and laid back. I like the open kitchen feel seeing the staff carve slabs of meats. My server was friendly and attentive. MGM Roast Beef has been around for over 15 years building a solid reputation for their meats. It's a definite return for me . read more

First time here. This place is the real deal. Their sandwiches are amazing. Not cheap, but delicious. The French dip was wonderful. The service was great. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They cut the meat and make the sandwiches right at the counter. The place itself is clean, bright and very casual. If you want a real sandwich, give this place a try. read more

The sandwiches here are the best! I got a steak and cheese and a brisket sandwich. Both were good! The staff were very nice and the place was clean. My food was fixed fast and hot. I'll definitely be back read more

This place use to be great, but they now have zero respect for their customers. They close whenever they feel like if, regardless of their posted schedule. I drove over an hour to get here. Arrived 20 mins before closing, but doors locked. Staff inside, but doors locked and they are ignoring everyone. Just shameful. Other customers are arriving with same disappointment, EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED UNPROFESSIONAL ESTABLISHMENT. PLEASE BE CAREFUL HERE! THEY ARE ALL ABOUT THEIR OWN PROFIT, WITH ZERO CONCERN FOR CUSTOMERS. read more

The second go 'round. My mother's selection & my selection were NOT filling & tasteful. The corned beef was not cut thin enough & there wasn't enough Thousand Island dressing. They put coleslaw as a topping on the sandwich?!?! NOT A A GOOD COMBINATION. I also had a cheesesteak sub/sandwich which was too dry to my liking. I like my subs/sandwiches to be juicy & full of meat & filling. Since I'll be gaining weight, make it worth while! I don't think we will be going back. Even the fries were tasteless - no salt, pepper, or seasoned salt. I don't know what happened because at least my first review stated that the fries were good. Service - GREAT. The cashier was patient with me & informed me of an error that I made. The restaurant is a cute little place to get something quick, take home, or to eat there on your lunch break. read more

Located right across the street from my job MGM is somewhere I've eaten at quite a few times over the years. Their breakfast is pretty good. Sandwiches, omelettes, French toast. They have a variety of options. You can dine in, they have tables as well as a long diner style counter with bar stools. The staff is always helpful and attentive. Their lunch items are decent as well. Plenty of sandwich and salad options to choose from. You will definitely pay around $20 for a sandwich, but you will be full from it. Check em out, they're worth a try if you ask me. read more

Me and my girlfriend just ate here for the first time and it was 10/10. We paid $55 for 2 massive sandwiches massive bowl of fries and drinks. The food was absolutely amazing and the staff there were super friendly and treated us like we were family. The overall experience and atmosphere was just amazing and we will absolutely be returning. read more

I am disabled and unable to leave my home most days, so I reached out a few times specifically to inquire if my orders of cups of ice orders were causing a negative impact on their profits so that I can change my orders if so, but I have never heard back. Instead, on Saturday the breakfast menu showed that the $1 for 20-ounce cup, is now to $2, so I didn't order breakfast or ice. The lunch menu showed the $1 price so I ordered a couple of meals for the weekend and ice. As of now, however, the lunch menu reflects the same $2 cost for a cup of ice as the breakfast menu. I'm really sad that they never responded because they have really great food, but alas our relationship cannot be built on ice alone... read more

Casual diner style place with bar/counter seating, takeout line, and regular table seating. Workers here are all friendly and work very quickly The meat is all fresh and carved right in front of you. I ordered the Brentwood sandwich with roast beef, lettuce, tomato, banana peppers, onion, oil, and horseradish. The portion was great for the price, meat piled high. Just wish the meat was more seasoned. Could've used more salt and seasonings. Otherwise the meal was great. I will definitely come back. read more

Family favorite here! While the prices have increased, it is always a treat to myself. The brisket is so tender and juicy!

There is counter seating and booth/table seats available as well. read more

My go to fave for a decade! MGM is so good. Great quality food in a laidback atmosphere with really kind staff. I love sitting at the counter, alone or with a friend. There is always a conversation to be had if you want one. I enjoy both breakfast and lunch, and while I find it hard to deviate from my favorite roast turkey sandwich, everything I have tried has been delicious. Portions are big and I always split with a friend or take half home. read more

This is a really disappointing review to write. This is one of my favorite sandwich shops and I've come here for years. They've always been a bit expensive but it was worth it. But $60 for three sandwiches at a lunch counter, and doesn't come with fries or even a bag of chips is too much to justify. read more

My wife and went into town to see the Tut Exhibit. It was around lunch time so we Googled to find a place to grab a sandwich found MGM close by went in ordered a Brisket on Rye with Horseradish sauce it was so good it brought tears to my eyes.

Every time I've eaten there, they either slice my sandwich meat too thickly or leave a ton of fat on the meat! I get a horrible bad vibe from the servers there too like I'm unwelcome there! Who knows why but my instincts are never too far off! I no longer waste my time on bad food and bad vibes! read more

Another hearty thanks to MGM Roast Beef for mKing the holidays easier. Thanksgiving feast pickup and reheating was easy ,and it looked so good we had to sample right away. Joshua was responsive when I reached out about adding to my order at the last minute. The team greeted us at the counter when we arrived inside and got us everything we needed for feeding extra guests. Great quality, portions size and clean, organized establishment for dine-in or catering. read more

The sandwiches don't get any more authentic and fresh than this. My go to is the turkey, but be sure to add some sort of condiment, I prefer the honey mustard. The portion size is BIG, and share able. Street parking can be limited, but worth the wait!! read more

I have driven by MGM countless times. I made it a point to stop by today and I am mad at myself for waiting so long. We ordered breakfast and really enjoyed it. The ham is amazing and freshly cooked. The pancakes and waffles were so soft and tasty. The potatoes were well seasoned and delicious. Only thing that would make it better is if they had mimosas. They have beer so fingers crossed many one day. read more

Unfortunately, it's just not worth the price for what you get. I got the French dip, and my partner got the Cajun Turkey. Both is us said that our sandwiches were lacking flavor. The beef wasn't really tender enough to be put on a sandwich - it was hard to take a bite without pulling out a big piece of meat because you couldn't bite through it,The jus also didn't really taste like anything. With our sandwiches coming to $40 including tax and tip, I just can't justify coming back. read more

Atmosphere is warm and inviting. The food is always fresh. Services is fast and efficient.

We had driven by MGM Roast Beef many times over the years. We finally decided to try this restaurant for lunch. While we did not dine-in, the food arrived at our apartment hot and fresh, via one of the food delivery services. Our sandwiches were fantastic. I especially liked the reuben sandwich, which was stacked high with delicious, homemade corned beef. The roast beef with cheese on an onion bun was also really good. The fries were just fair. Prices here are steep, but the quality of the meal is fantastic. read more

There's a reason why they've stand the test of time. Their sandwiches are GOOD!!! No, they are not located in the casino at National Harbor. These guys have been in DC before that casino was even built. Now I know they have roast beef in their name and that's what they're known for, but my favorite thing to get here are their brisket sandwiches. Their brisket is super tender and flavorful. They are very generous in the amount of meat they give you. No one likes when there's more bread than meat so MGM never disappoints in that aspect. The only negative is that they are located so far from me! Get the brisket sandwich. Trust me. read more

Great roast beef! My coworker couldn't stop raving about this place and their delicious roast beef. I have to admit, she was right. The beef was juicy and fresh, and you get to watch them make your sandwich right in front of you. There are various sides you can choose from and add to your order as well. I'll definitely be back when I get the next opportunity. read more

MGM Roast Beef - the inside of a restaurant - Sandwiches Near Me - Washington, DC, District of Columbia

What's a girl to do when she has to go get her car fixed across town on a Tuesday? She takes advantage of being in the area by consuming deliciousness ;-). I came here today for lunch following picking up my car from the auto shop. I have passed it a few times in the past but never stopped, because honestly, it doesn't look like much from the outside. But man oh man, don't let that stop you. I walked in a little before 11am. There were a few people ahead of me but not busy. When you get in line there are menus and pencils to fill out your order. I decided to go for the Cajun turkey. The sandwich list says no modifications, but I believe that is in reference to substitutions/additions, as I requested no tomatoes on mine and they said no problem. While you're in line you pass one of the butchers/sandwich makers(?) slicing up the roasted meats right there (I'm sure it's to only make you hungrier as you head to order lol). Now to the sandwich, I am not exaggerating when I say it was delicious!! The turkey was seasoned so well and extremely juicy. It's hard to get juicy turkey, as it can often be dry, but they do it just right. It was extremely flavorful and the melted cheddar added to the greatness. It also had sautéed onions and peppers... mmmm it was so good! On top of that, the sandwich was huge. And had so much meat it was bursting out of the bread. I had enough meat leftover to save and use for maybe another dish haha. I was extremely satisfied and pleasantly surprised by the sandwich. I got my sandwich to go but the place has ample seating. The staff was also extremely pleasant and attentive. Two critiques though, first, parking around here is rough, and although I was able to easily park in the parking lot, I'm sure that on weekends or later lunch rush parking isn't as easy. Second, it is kind of expensive. Just the sandwich itself was $12 something. While i know DC is expensive and you do get fresh carved meat here, it is still pretty expensive for a sandwich. However, would i spend that again on another sandwich? 100% yes. Just be conscious of the price and if you're in area, give them try! I definitely recommend the Cajun turkey sandwich. read more

Short review Working over at Brentwood Yard and MGM is known for their sandwiches Ordered the brisket which comes with coleslaw on it I forget what kind of roll it comes on It was mediocre.... Kind of disappointed because I've had their sandwiches and it really didn't move me Fries were good I wouldn't discourage anyone from going there It was late and they were about to close I do believe sometimes food is hit or miss read more

We ordered a French dip, and a steak and cheese sandwich. The dip for the french dip had a bit of a weak flavor, but overall it was delicious. I really liked the steak and cheese and would prefer over the French dip. The sandwiches were a good size, however the price was a bit steep. We'd stop by to treat ourselves on occasion, but it's way too expensive for frequent visits. read more

Today, I ordered a veggie burger and bread pudding to satisfy my sweet tooth. While they cooked the burger, I decided to just have a taste of the bread pudding. It's so good! They have apples in it, cut small so not overwhelming the dish. It came with what taste like fresh whipped cream. I wasn't going to post about this at all but I have to do it. This is why it's 1/2 consumed in the picture. I think you'll get the idea. Speaking of the service here, when they noticed I sat at the counter and started eating, I was asked right away if i would like water and I was given napkins. I can't wait for the veggie burger to arrive! I'm attaching a pic of meat sandwiches that are about to be dressed with whatever the customers want. Look at the size of the sandwiches and all the freshly cooked meat on them. Yummy yummy yummy read more

The food was great! I was recommended by a coworker and she did not disappoint me. The food was fresh and quick!!!

I had the French Dip and it was not very memorable unfortunately. The onion bun was decent. Portion sizes were generous. Fries were surprisingly good, almost to Five Guys level. The beef though was lacking. Overcooked and almost dry. It desperately needed that au jus. Not terrible, just not exceptional either. If you want a real roast beef sandwich, venture up to Baltimore and have Chaps Pit Beef. You wont regret it. read more

Unremarkable food for breakfast. The turkey bacon is not crispy, the American cheese atop my eggs was an unmelted rectangle, and the coffee is below average. I ordered grits with sausage and cheese added, and they were plain and just OK. The potatoes aren't crispy either. But the service is where they REALLY dropped the ball -- took 32 minutes for a normal small order! (Side tip: actual prices are higher than the ones on their website's menu.) I ordered one entree "for here" (said that twice), and was given an itemized printed receipt. So far so good. But after waiting 15 minutes, I asked what the holdup was. Service guy took my name and went back into the kitchen. Seven more minutes, no update. I asked a different guy. He checked, and said the kitchen NEVER GOT the order, so they'd start cooking now. WHAT?! How do you just LOSE an order? Reminds me of the Seinfeld skit about taking an reservation, then not honoring it. Same thing with taking an order... Completing it is a pretty key part. After over a half hour of hunger, everything was served in disposable containers, "to go". After 10 years of considering this place, I will think hard about going back. Definitely not for breakfast. Added a star because they were eventually apologetic, providing a free side item, and making a vague offer to help me out if I returned another time. Maybe not. First time I've ever seen a restaurant straight-up forget to cook food! read more
