Rebecca F.

I stopped in for breakfast this morning, and--as always--it was amazing. It was pretty busy, so things were a bit slower than usual, but that's completely understandable and on us for not planning our timing better. The food and atmosphere were still fantastic. The only thing I'm disappointed about is the whitefish appetizer I ordered to go. For the last three visits, the portion has been much smaller than it used to be--surprisingly small. I should have checked it before leaving, but I didn't want to make a fuss. I really love this item and don't want to stop ordering it, so I hope the portions return to what they once were. Still, Parkway Deli remains one of my favorite spots, and I'll definitely be back.

What an institution. For years, I've heard stories about this deli inside a strip mall just across the D.C.-Maryland border. On New Years Day, I popped in since it was open. There was a line to get into their restaurant. The deli counter was busy, but after ordering their famous Reuben sandwich with pastrami, I was eating within minutes. And wow- their Reuben was delicious. The rye bread got a little soggy due to the Russian dressing, but the flavors were well balanced. I'd go back for sure!

Great neighborhood spot. Everything is amazing!!

Parkway is an institution. I've brunched and carried out from this place for decades. My experience yesterday left a lot to be desired. The food was great (French toast and eggs-- I ordered bacon but that never came), but the server seemed irritated and made the experience unpleasant. I hope to never be in his section again.

I read somewhere this place has the best pastrami in MD so we decided to make a trip out of it Let me tell you it was worth the drive. I got the Delight and hubs the Rueben. They were similar except mine had coleslaw instead of kraut and Munster instead of Swiss. Loved them both but I think the Ruben was the winner. Enjoyed the pickle bar with the beets and half sours. Had a black and white on the way out. Oh yeah tried the chicken matzo ball soup. 1st timer and I thought it was really good. We moved from west coast this year and this place just oozes east coast vibes. I love this place I'll def be back. Only bummer was we ordered fries with the Ruben and they never came. Didn't matter tho we were stuffed.

I've tried their Pastrami and Corned Beef Reuben sandwich and onion rings. Their food is good- cooked well, mild, and overall flavorful. I especially enjoyed their onion rings - as a big fan, it's hard to find good onion rings these days!! The space is surprisingly deep and expansive, old-fashioned, and the customer service is great. Parking is overall easy, but there can be a lot of traffic depending on the time of day. I'd recommend!

Matzoh Ball Soup

There aren't a lot of old school delis in the DMV so Parkway gets deserved love. And the pickle bar is cool! The nova lox platter was good and reasonably priced. The matzoh ball soup with chicken is very good and full of flavor!

Parkway Deli and Restaurant crafts the finest deli food in town. We had a large group meet there over the weekend. They were so friendly and the service was awesome. Our group hadn't seen each other in a while and our waitress was so kind. She had to come back several times before we were ready to order. She stayed so pleasant and got all of our orders correct. I ordered the nova lox platter. It was filled with hand cut nova lox, that was delicious. There was cream cheese, capers, tomatoes, onion, olives, and lettuce. I was in heaven. My friends all ordered omelettes. They loved them. Before, I left I ordered corned beef, turkey, and two kinds of cookies. Everything was perfect. I had sandwiches for days and the cookies passed my granddaughters taste test. They were mouthwatering and delicious. Everything was reasonably priced and it was phenomal. Parkway Deli and restaurant sets the standard for what a deli should be. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

Vegi omelette with hash browns. Side of salsa (spicy!). Was so filling, brought half of the omelette, potatoes and bagel home.

Have been here a number of times after church for brunch. Have had their terrific deli sandwiches and very good matzo ball soup. The portions are large and often I will pack some up for same-day dinner. Lately, we've been having breakfast - specifically the vegi omelet ($13.49). What's there to say about a vegi omelet? It's egg with vegi inside - right? For some reason, the omelet here is outstanding. The egg is cooked well and is stuffed with peppers, onion, mushroom and tomatoes. Like - stuffed. And you get a choice of cheese. I got the pepper jack and my partner got the Swiss. The pepper jack is spicy and delicious. The home fries are perfect every time and the choice of bread includes a bagel and cream cheese. I got the onion bagel - the bagel is large and well done with a good sized serving of cream cheese. On top of everything, there's a complimentary pickle bar, with dill, half-sour, sweet and sour pickles, sauerkraut and pickled beets. In the past, the beets were dried out but the last two times we were here, the beets were moist and fresh and delicious. I recommend this place. It's normally crowded, but worth the wait. Only downside is that, depending on where you are seated, it can be crazy loud. The center restaurant area is fine, but if you are seated in the smaller area to the left, be prepared for noise from your neighbors if it's crowded.

Spicy cauliflower wrap and sweet potato fries
Lauren S.

Amazing and fast service. Was starving for a quick dinner and ordered the daily special, the spicy cauliflower wrap. It was delicious with crispy fried cauliflower, jalapeño, avocado, and tomato. I'm not vegetarian or vegan and this was incredible. Glad I found this spot!

It was awesome to see the diversity of the diaspora from the African continent (East and West Africa) the Caribbean/Latin America, and America all in one safe space enjoying themselves without the performative and obnoxiousness from others I would give them that. The Billy Holliday mural and the interior design has a nice sleek, New American vibe. My problem is the service, the cost, and the food although solid, I cooked a brunch the following day myself not to brag (scrambled eggs and cheese, friend potatoes with diced green peppers and onions) that was masterful in comparison to the gingerbread style big ole French toast and fancy "scrambled eggs and cheese" this spot has. The service charge was ridiculous as my mom's bill was 70 plus bucks for just the seafood shrimp and grits which was nice, a very sweet pre-diabetic lemonade, and bread pudding that was like bougie Georgetown prices with the dominant culture. I paid 40 dollars (Hairstylist from Baby Boy!) for French toast, scrambled eggs with cheese and lemonade. The food is nice and all but nothing to die for. We came for the vibe, culture, and atmosphere also, but we do prefer the chains of Dennys and I-hop if I am not doing the cooking which is most of the time. The server would dirty mack and take a while flirting with women at the bar and playing around with staff, and I had to give a clinical gaze with my glasses and hand signal for him to return. We did ask up front about service charge and gratuity included from the beginning but they have a very Southern slow pace here that I agree with others and I am a very patient man and notice that. It can take a while to get your checks, get change, just other tasks that you would think would be handled more efficiently. The place attracts the social media crowd, with professional pictures, the glitz, the glamor the Hollywood red carpet of the DMV, but the structural integrity of the pricing, service, and experience needs to step its game up in the worst way. We certainly see this place being a bit turned up and precarious in later hours. The closest parking that is reliable enough is the Safeway garage so it is not the most convenient, where as at least Matchbox has the Wayne and Colesville garages to park at and then enter. It was nice to support the Black owned establishment but it is a 1 and done spot. Majic 102.3 put in the hype a couple of years ago, but I found the truth, no thanks, it is a performative culture that still has that ole Georgia Ave. street culture.

The food overall was great, from the drinks to the dessert. The only miss for me was the Margherita flatbread it lacked a bit of flavor compared to everything else but everything else we tried was absolutely delicious. We ended up leaving before the live music started, which I regret because it sounded like such a nice touch. I'd definitely come back to enjoy that next time!

Today we took a drive to Kaldi's to order some breakfast to-go. The restaurant was really packed but the ordering process was actually pretty smooth. We ordered their 12oz lattes, my drink was modified to add a splash of almond milk. The lattes sadly weren't anything special and could probably benefit from some cinnamon or a flavor of some sort to bring a little personality to the drink. To eat, we ordered their waffles (sorry for the to-go pictures) I ordered the sweet corn waffle and my boyfriend ordered the waffles with fresh berries. The waffles were PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!! Probably the best and most creative waffles I've had in a long time. The sweet corn waffles were magical. The addition of jalapeño peppers perfectly balanced off the sweet flavor seeping through the waffles. It was beautifully paired. The waffles were also very creamy and soft. Only downside is that I didn't care for the random garnish of corn of top but I get the presentation. This might have been better if it was seasoned or sautéed but the random corn didn't add or take away from the dish. My boyfriend lovedddddd his waffles and berries and said that it was the perfect breakfast selection. I'll definitely come back to order more waffles but also wished that they had a way of conducting pick up through their online portal. As mentioned, it was packed in there but there were some nice seating around the restaurant so I assume that you'll need to get there really early in order to dine in. Overall, I'll return and hopefully I can try another beverage.
