Chicken Shawarma
Evan L.

My girlfriend and I stopped in here for a quick lunch. They have many options- we ordered the Steak and Cheese Sub and Chicken Shawarma on Pita. They were both good, although I'd say the Chicken Shawarma was a bit too strong with the garlic. Also, we noticed white strands of some kind of fiber in both of our sandwiches (could've been hair, we weren't exactly sure), so that was a bit unpleasant. The staff were pretty friendly though, and the place had a nice cozy and local feel to it.

Eggs, bacon, homefries

We were a little apprehensive as it didn't look like a breakfast place. And they didn't have unsweetened iced tea. However, the food was fantastic!! The biscuits were phenomenal, the sausage gravy was close to the best I've had! Everyone was so super friendly and helpful.

The smoothie my wife got was awesome, and my hummus turkey wrap was solid. What puts them over the edge was the fact that the owner might be the nicest lady I've ever met. She was so kind and outgoing and loved seeing our dogs.

I visited Old Town Deli for lunch recently and enjoyed it! I ordered the Italian sausage sub with onions, peppers, and cheese and thought it was a great portion for the price. Most of the subs and other sandwiches here are under $10. Great value for lunch to go. During the pandemic, I've been frequenting delis more often when eating out, as they're quick and easy. My sub was ready in under 10 minutes. They do have seating inside, for those inclined/comfortable to sit inside at a restaurant. Was it the best deli sandwich I've ever had? No. But it was decent and definitely worth a visit, especially given its convenient location on Washington Blvd (right off of King Street).

I tried this place out after searching for good breakfast in Old Town. I must say the breakfast was pretty good! I got the breakfast special which came with 2 eggs,2 pancakes, and your choice of meat(I choose sausage). I also got a side of home fries. The home fries were good I just added a little seasoning when I got home. I would definitely visit them again!

Cleaning

Where to start: 1) it's 2:45pm Saturday, only three metal tables and they chose now to mop the floor. Eating amongst a dirty floor and cleaning fluids is not appetizing. 2) Not clean. Ladies room gross. Went to men's room no better. No soap. 3) family ordered and sitting to eat. Still mopping. 4) plates are styrofoam. Utensils are cheap plastic so cutting meat and forking was difficult. 5). Food -- tabouli old. Honestly I watched my family eat. I'm going elsewhere. Everything is pre-made.

Inside seating area and ordering. A fair amount of seating though the place is small. Feels a little cramped but it's usually never busy.

It's hot or miss here. Sometimes they have good food, other times it's bad. Today I had the beef kabob and it was horrible. They used a standard beef patty that had no real flavor to it, very plain tasting rice, the salad was plain, the Hummas was plain, I mean, everything about this platter was horrible. Even the napkins sucked. It was a complete waste of money. In the flip side, service was quick, there's plenty of seating, even though it feels a little cramped and the staff are friendly. Outside of that, it's not really worth the price you pay.

Sample salad and chicken kabab

Chicken Salad for my prego cousin. 2 Skewers Chicken Platter for me. We shared both. And I say they're both 3 stars, at the most. At the most. That's not a bad thing, though. It's good food. The prices are regrettable, though, considering the taste quotient, but it's Old Town and their rent is probably high. Mark-up! The space is super small, so the line can be strangely malformed when there are a lot of people in there. I've been a couple of times now and around lunch time it's a zoo. The staff is great, though, and they push that food out with some urgency.

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.

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.
