    Matzoh Ball Soup
    Heem M.

    The place was packed when we arrived! Seems like a go to spot for locals with many regulars. The matzoh ball soup was good and same for the pastrami. The pastrami is cut on the thinner side but tastes like beef bacon; it had nice crispy edges. The complimentary pickle bar is great (the pickled beets are fantastic)! We really love the deli in the front for quick service but wanted to try dining in today. Carryout is great and we will be back sometime soon. Thanks Parkway!

    Turkey & Bacon Club

    Definitely enjoyed our time here from sitting at the restaurant and also doing some shopping afterwards. I enjoyed a pastrami, rye, and my son enjoyed the club sandwich. My husband had a matzoh ball soup and brisket sandwich. The pickle bar is definitely a highlight! I wish they had a kids menu honestly even if it was small because you know we mostly took most of my son's food home. The bakery in the deli section is awesome! We purchased challah bread, a black-and-white cookie, macaroons, and some bagels. Everything and I mean, everything was awesome. We totally would come back.! Definitely 4.5!

    Meatball Sub and side Homemade Mac & Cheese
    Mike K.

    I went with the meatball sub and a side of mac and cheese at this restaurant off of grubb road. The sub was great with plenty of cheese and marinara sauce in it. The side mac and cheese was good as well, very unique though I don't know if it was too much cheese but something was different with this. My service was ok, our waters weren't refilled and it took a while for the server to come back and give us the check. The ambiance of this place is great - they have an indoor seating + outdoor porch seating. In addition to that they have a desert and deli section in the front with a plethora of options to choose from.

    Nova Combo
    Neisha H.

    Delicious food, friendly staff, and lovely restaurant interior. I went in for takeout but will for sure come back to dine in. The person running the pick up counter was charming and knowledgeable. I'm visiting family in Silver Spring and they requested a healthy and fresh lunch. The salmon in the nova combo was great, and you could tell the capers were fresh. For sure recommend for an appetizing lunch!

    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.

    Liver, bacon, onions and red peppers
    Lee Z.

    The liver and onions were surprisingly delicious. Cooked perfectly with the bacon taking it to another level. The sides chosen were mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. They were good. Service was excellent. Lively atmosphere and seems popular.

    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!!
    Kylle S.

    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.

    Ruben
    Brian S.

    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.

    David T.

    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!

    Hot Corned & Beef Pastrami "twin" sandwich. Onion rings for the "side."
    Tracy T. S.

    So, their set up is seamless. I initially went into done at the restaurant, located in the back. I was too hungry to wait, so did "take-out" instead. By the time my order was ready, I saw the line to dine in was no more. They'd seated everyone. I should have know they were on point when I saw a car with a New York license plate. A true NYer, at this "Deli" in DC?!? YEP! This restaurant was it!! There is a full beer, wine and snack store in the front, on the left side, the deli and desserts on the right side. The restaurant is in the back. So, as stated, I had my order to go. I ordered the twin deli on a Kaiser roll - one half pastrami, the other half corned beef, onion rings for the side, and a pickle. When I tell you EVERYTHING was delicious. It was delicious. I will say, the pastrami was my favorite. I LOVE pastrami!! Corned beef was tender, not dry. I'll say this... I have NEVER, had more delicious onion rings in my life!! Have you ever had a juicy onion ring before? Never have I ever. Ambiance was nice, very clean presenting. Staff was personable, friendly, extremely competent. I highly recommend.

Funny thing is just about everything he suggested was something I was thinking of getting & debating, so that made it harder to decide. We had a nice table by the window & it was a moderately busy evening by the time we finished dinner so noise level had picked up. They have a couple tables outside too. Waiter was not as attentive as needed for refilling water, but he was only 1 there tending to indoor tables. I decided to order the Mole short rib. Presentation on ALL dishes served was beautiful. My short rib was very small piece of meat, but it was SO tasty & no fatty meat was served, which I was happy about. The rice served under was delicious. Thoroughly enjoyed my selection. The 2nd recommended dish, my husband had which was the Lime & Cilantro chicken. Though it looked beautiful, the chicken itself was a "strange cut". He said it was sort of part of breast & maybe part of attached portion of thigh? He also was not happy that it had the joint & small bone (not expected) along with a fatty piece of skin attached. He said chicken did not have much flavor nor did the black beans, but he said the rice was delicious. He did finish the entire dinner but wasn't a WOW to make us go back from his perspective. And because menu is small choices, he didn't find anything else he would want to order. My friend ordered the other recommended dish, Tamales. She asked for an extra chicken Tamales, which the waiter explained it's 1 potato&corn and 1 chicken & reason there would be an up charge if she was adding 2nd chicken. you normally get a veggie Tamales & chicken Tamales. She was fine with that, but when the plate came out, only 2 not 3 as she & I expected, although my husband said, he understood that waiter was substituting the veggie for the chicken even though our friend wanted all 3 & said as much. I can't comment too much on her dish for flavor other than looking lovely, but not exactly what I envisioned. She did eat majority & took rest home. She said it was good. We ordered guacamole app which came with chips. I felt it was a bit small of a serving for both chips & guacamole. I didn't try it, but everyone said it was good. We passed on dessert, nothing super appealing, limited items. However, they should add plantains to the dessert selection as I was tempted to order, but no one else wanted any. Plantains were on the dinner sides menu and noticed them earlier. Would I go back? Maybe, but it would have to be if I was in the area, after 6p for the free parking in the lot across the street or on a weekend.

We had neighbors getting construction this week so I worked there Wednesday morning for some peace. The menu is small, but mighty, the service is iffy, and the pastries are store bought and stale. The front of house guy who brings the food and prepared the drinks is awesome, accommodating, and polite. I ordered egg and cheese on croissant, which came with salad and fruit. I also got my standard americano with room for cream. The food was well made, the perfect temperature and had just right seasoning levels. The americano was a bit cold so I figure he'd let it set while the food was being made to run them together. I had asked for cream, it was forgotten, they don't have any Splenda, only sweet n low, and their teaspoons are tablespoons, but the food was good. I also ordered a muffin later just to see what their pastries were about. It had clearly been in the pastry case for more than 3 days. It was REVOLTINGLY stale. I returned and advised and he offered a "fresh one" - from the fridge, in plastic, from a bakery in NEW JERSEY. They'd be better off selling Costco muffins. That muffin was HORRIBLE. Sickeningly sweet, 7 blueberries that were clearly rehydrated in the batter, and tasted like oil and preservatives. Sad. However, I came to work! There were two tables there when I arrived, they left within 15/20 minutes. The bathroom was not clean AT ALL - toilet bowl was gross and it was 10:00 am and they were out of soap and toilet paper. Ewwwww. I pray there was a hand washing sink in the kitchen. Also, the cook or whomever was in the back was watching something on tv, yelling in Spanish loudly, and generally making a racket. This did not make for an easy or enjoyable working environment. The layout is lovely, the chairs are comfy, the tables are just the right size for individuals or small groups (read 2 people) so the vibe is work/co-work, but then the dude is yelling in the kitchen!!! The other thing is, there was NOBODY in the place but me and one other dude who'd long since eaten, and the tables from the other people hadn't been wiped. They were bussed, but not wiped. The floor wasn't swept. It was just a general aura of idgaf but that's young workers in 2023 I guess. The concept is good, but the execution is struggling. I want to hope it's a bad day but who knows. I would try again if I was in the area but would definitely not go out of my way given the parking plus the issues above. Okay, not Great.

I was excited to learn it was from First Watch, my favorite breakfast spot. My anticipation grew as I opened the sealed bag, revealing the packed breakfast boxes ready to be enjoyed. However, my mood shifted after I removed a couple of boxes and noticed the plastic silverware pouch had been opened. The fork was missing and the opened silverware pack raised concerns, making me question the attention to detail and packaging standards. After noticing the packaging issues, I began to wonder about the cleanliness of the rest of the order. Sadly, some items fell short of expectations -- the waffle was soggy, the eggs were stiff and cold, and the potatoes were simply mediocre. The one thing i did enjoy was the fresh fruit bowl which was the highlight of the meal. This experience left me feeling sorely disappointed, I can only give this experience three stars, and that's being generous. First Watch Silver Spring, I hope you take this feedback seriously, as quality control truly matters.
