Lots of meat on the pastrami sandwich...I like the pastrami. I'm not a mustard person though. They add another slice of bread on the bottom as well. We got the duck pate, so salty. I don't like the flavor.. read more

In search for items locally procured for baskets I'm gathering for the holiday season, I discovered Stachowski's. Their factory is located in neighboring Forestville and I was happy to have found their hotdogs to add to the baskets for my local families. All natural and pure beef, I know these will fill happy bellies. Sandwiches are immense, and their hotdogs rival none other. I sampled and served them during the recent World Series watch I hosted and everyone loved my spin on the Japadog. Back to back win for the Dodgers and grandslam for Stachowski's dogs! Catering is available and online ordering for easy local pick up at this location. Check out https://stachowskimeats.com/ Note: online store has details for local delivery only. read more

This is a must visit stop with I am back in the District. Neighborhood gem. Part grocery store, butcher and deli. I've come here many times for the Pastrami. It's multi-layered goodness! I see people mention it's pricey. I don't see it that way. The portions are so generous that you really should think that one sandwich is meant for two people. From my perspective, it's a hard to beat value. It's a small store that does what it does at a high level! read more

Oh Stachowski's how do I love you. Let me count the ways..... seriously, Everytime I come in here I want to buy everything. Everything I have had from here is beyond tasty. Last time I got a grinder and shared it with my boyfriend and it was still enough for lunch the next day for both of us. This is a big boy sandwich haha!! I've had their pastrami as well and it is just amazing. Highly recommend. I've also bought harder to find meats like duck confit or just when I'm looking for upscale good quality. Nothing ever disappoints. Staff is also always super friendly and helpful and has a good community feel. My next visit I will def be trying the Rueben! read more

Absoulty perfect pastrami sandwich. Overstuffed and so flavorful I still can't believe it. Service was fast and while a little pricey it's well worth every cent! I also had a really good chocolate chip cookie from here as well. I will be back ASAP! read more

You'll get a massive sandwich for a reasonable price (all things considered). Had heard good things and had to check them out. Parking can be tough as it's street parking but not too difficult. It's a deli so expect a deli atmosphere, but don't expect tables; expect to order a sandwich to go. There's essentially no wait to order, and just a few minutes for the sandwich. My wife, son, and I decided to order two sandwiches between the three of us and there was quite honestly enough for two meals for the three of us. The Hot Pastrami is highly recommended by all (and me), and has massive amounts of moist, flavorful meat. The Grinder is large as well but not standout compared to the pastrami. read more

Purchased a chunk of guanciale and was given a block of fat instead. I know the product is expected to have a high fat content of around 65%, but what I got is insane. Basically a line of meat embedded within a block of fat. It's disgusting how this vendor tried to shove undesirable products to customers who they judge to be "outta-towner", in the spirit of "not let anything go to waste" for a profit. read more

This is such a great hidden place. They got great sandwiches and serves like a little butcher / deli / mart. They got juices and beers as well as chips for the sandwiches. Some of the sandwiches are huge. And they're delicious of course. I do appreciate the authenticity of the sandwiches and that they make it clear that they do not alter the sandwiches A good amount of pastries and deserts is also available. The staff is friendly and very helpful. However the place is a bit small. read more

Obviously the best quality meat and product. Nothing beats their ingredient quality. I greatly enjoyed my roast beef sandwich and the portion is incredible. Lovely shop as well. They are a corner shop with a nice layout. Inside, they sell top notch products and shop-curated foods. Service was very friendly and quick. Will definitely keep visiting! read more

After thoroughly enjoying the Stachowski's legendary grinder sub a few times, I took a chance on their so-called pastrami sandwich yesterday. As a lifelong fan of classic NY deli (ie Katz's) I had long heard of Stachowski's facsimile. In short, it was a thorough disappointment. Taste-wise, the sandwich tasted as if someone had made corned beef in error, then, realized their mistake and threw pastrami seasoning on it and threw it in a smoker at the last minute. It was tough, chewy, and basically inedible. If you've got a hankering for NYC pastrami, you're better served heading up to Katz's. It's worth the trip. read more

This is a great corner market as well as deli. I love their dinner specials. It's also a great place to pick up special occasion treats like pate and a nice bottle of wine. It's definitely on the pricey side, but it's high quality stuff. It's also good in a pinch if you forgot a lemon or something small. read more

Placed a first-time online order for four different sandwiches in the morning for a mid-afternoon pickup. Back home, all were impressively large and full of good-looking stuff. But literally on my first bite into the Pastrami sandwich, there was so much gristle that my teeth could not cut through anything! I had to spit it out and examine the other slices, which appeared okay. I wonder how often that happens to others? For the Grinder sandwich, I had checked the ordering options for it to be cut into "3 Pieces" and to come with "No Hot Peppers." Instead, I found two massive halves LOADED WITH HOT PEPPERS that I had to carefully pick out one by one (see photo). Given that the kitchen had MORE THAN FOUR HOURS to get familiar with my order, how could such basic instructions go unheeded (they're even printed on the receipt)? I also ordered Meatball and Short Club sandwiches. They, and the uneaten leftovers from the others (they really are massive), are safely stored in the fridge for many future meals. Not the end of the world, I grant you, but not a good first impression for a near-$100 order. read more

Pastrami heaven! Omg you have to order the pastrami sandwich here. This market was featured on the DC episode of, " Somebody Feed Phil", so I personally flagged it and put it on my list while vacationing in DC. It was located in beautiful Georgetown, on the corner of a block. Street parking was available up to 2 hours. The market had a small produce selection, refreshments, deli items/snacks, a butcher, and fresh made specials of the day, sandwiches, and soups. We immediately ordered the pastrami sandwiches, $23.99 each. Each sandwich was wrapped in butcher paper x2. The sandwich was a masterpiece- THICK cuts of pastrami (not fatty or overly salty) on double sliced pumpernickel, and mustard. Simple!!! But sooooo good. Mind you, we had not eaten all day because of our busy schedule, and this one sandwich was enough for 2 meals, or easily could be shared amongst 2 people. We ate a half for dinner and the other half for lunch the next day. It also came with a pickle, but I didn't care for this one too much. Check them out! You won't regret it. read more

This is our family's go-to upscale market in DC. The sandwiches are expensive but very large. I always get the Grinder and split it with someone else - it's a classic Italian on a big homemade ciabatta. Every year we order lamb for Thanksgiving. Their frozen meat section is also incredible - I love their white bratwurst. read more

The portions are huge! I was surprised by the price until we got our sandwiches and totally understand the price. The amount you get can fill you up several times. It's a bit messy to eat in the car but there's so much flavor and fresh ingredients. It's a small shop in Georgetown and very much worth a visit. read more

Stachowski's is a cute little Italian style deli tucked away in Georgetown. The place itself is very small, and there is no option to dine in, so you order and go. Which I personally really liked that we could just go in and shop around a little bit and then take our sandwiches to go picnic. No one tells you the sandwich is the size of a small child. I got the signature 4 meat grinder and it was HEAVY. Heavily delicious! The sandwich was absolutely amazing despite the need to unhinge your jar in order to take a full bite. They even included this little cup of vinaigrette to add! Overall I'd go back and try the entire menu! Everything about this sandwich & experience was a 10/10! read more

These sandwiches are amazing! They are definitely on the pricier side, but in my view, it evens out because the portions are huge and you can often get multiple meals out of one sandwich. They definitely make the best club sandwich I have ever had, and I also love their hot pastrami sandwich with the most perfect pumpernickel bread! There's also a market inside where you can buy soups, breads, wines, cheeses and much more, along with high-quality meats from the butcher shop. Still need to try their dinners too! read more

A bit pricey but as someone who lives across town I understand pricing in these areas. A lot of well to do folks love and pay for the convenience and the fact that their sandwiches and foods are fresh. They have some imported items as well, Ice cream sandwiches, snacks, fresh meats and poultry. I also get the same sandwich the Turkey, Chips, and a Joes Tea. I have bought soup from them as well which was nice. Either way it's a fun cozy spot nestled in the very lux area that is Georgetown. read more

Stachowski's Market is a great neighborhood shop with a wide meat, sandwich and ingredient selection. It's a small but mighty deli. The sandwich prices are skyrocket high but, I guess, it's Georgetown and the portions are ginormous. Just check out the grinder size compared to my hand... It's big enough for three people! We grabbed duck sausages to try the next morning, too. I was pleasantly surprised - tasty and unique. The people seemed friendly. I wish there were seats or somewhere to eat inside. Otherwise, solid spot. read more

Was dying to try this place since I saw it on Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix. While on a trip to DC, went into the cool Georgetown area. This is a corner shop in a pretty neighborhood. The young guy at the counter was friendly, service is really important to me. I ordered the grinder sandwich. It's huge, a great value and delicious! Its on really good bread, loaded with meat, cheese and veggies. It took me two meals to finish it. Can't find anything like this back home in Honolulu. Bonus: Jamie, the owner that was on Feed Phil, walked in and took a pic w me at my request. He was really nice and made the visit all the more memorable. read more

I've been going to Stachowski's for years. The sandwiches are no joke -- multiple meals if just you or they can easily feed 2/3 people, especially the grinder. Beyond the nice selection of meats, they offer daily special for prepared meals. I've tried a handful and they are generously portion and especially nice for a single person or two to have an easy meal. read more

We used to love coming here even though it was pricey, we felt the quality was worth it. However prices have increased even more and a lot of unexpected fees that are not known. The prices of the produce like tomatoes had no price tag. Heirloom tomatoes are typically pricey. I expect to pay $5-$7/pound and that's on a higher end, but $9.99/pound and tomatoes that were past their prime is outrageous. On top of that, the market charges a service fee on top of the total! I did not even buy any prepared dishes. All of the fees were hidden, no prices upfront. Scammy. read more

If you're looking for a good Deli in DC, this is the spot! They have a big variety of different meat, cheeses, and more! Their menu is very delicious and big portion sized. Highly recommend sharing. I got a grinder sandwich. I do recommend asking for the bread to be toasted and maybe adding a bit of mayo. But besides that it's delicious! Customer service is great. Also heard great things about the pastrami sandwich! Will have to try that next time! read more

Have loved this place for years. Something has changed. Ordered thinly sliced roast beef and got it home and it was so THICK - and it was way overcooked. There was also an issue around pricing that was a bit misleading and poorly communicated. But the roast beef...Giant wouldn't sell this mess! read more

I got a pastrami sandwich which is very good. My comment is about the service charge which I wasn't expecting. The sandwich is $23.99. My bill was $27.45. I got the breakdown from the cashier and saw there is a service charge of $1.06. I don't know if the charge is just for preparation of food or other things. I have to say that my experience wasn't t huge on friendly service. I noted a sign saying no special orders or half sandwiches. So they make the same sandwiches with no changes, why not just price that service into the product. read more

My boyfriend and I tried Stachowski's for the first time this weekend while walking around Georgetown! This spot is a DC institution so we were excited to look around inside. There are beautiful deli options inside. They have a great butcher selection, lots of packaged sausages and a good menu of hot and cold subs to order! We split a hot Italian sausage sub and a pig in a blanket. Both of these selections just made me even more excited to come back and try more of their menu! We also got a few packages of sausages and kielbasa to make at home, which have all been delicious so far! read more

Incredible. These sandwiches are MASSIVE and flavorful. I came with a friend after passing by it fairly often when I've walked dogs in the neighborhood. We heard they were fairly large so we planned to split a sandwich, but were unprepared for our $17 sandwich being the size of a toddler (not that I'm complaining). The bread is incredibly high quality and the sandwich is packed with flavor. It was also speedy and well-priced. I recommend not only the food, but also a trip to the market for their goods! read more

Tiny market but huge assortment of unique foods and butcher shop. Definitely georgetown prices but the quality of everything looks amazing! You have some excellent cheese from Vermont also. I was craving the Grinder sandwich (I'm a bit late to the trend I know), and this place did not disappoint! My only con is that I think they put way too much lettuce on the sub (I already like a lot of lettuce, but this was overwhelming). But their house sauce was so good-tangy and slightly sweet. The sub itself was as long as my arm and probably weighed like 10 pounds (prob from all that lettuce haha). The bread was good but don't let it get soggy! Service was swift. The store was undergoing construction when I went, so it's easy to miss and think they're not open. Otherwise it's also very very small and unassuming. read more

I ordered the 4 meat grinder that I have gotten in the past. When I get a deli sandwich I usually ask them to hold the lettuce. I didn't ask this time. When I anxiously opened my sandwich all I could see was lettuce . It represented over half of the thickness of the sandwich. My sandwich should have been called The Lettuce and 4 Meat Grinder. Next time I go, if I ever do, I will be sure to request No Lettuce on my grinder. read more

HUUUUUGE portions and they gave an extra piece of bread with the sandwiches! We got the hot pastrami and the turkey club. The turkey club was sooo delicious and tasted very fresh. The hot pastrami was also very flavorful, but not crazy salty which I enjoyed! I read some reviews that people thought the cut used in the pastrami was very fatty but mine was pretty lean. This is basically a take out spot, so no place to sit inside. read more

Wonderful New Years take out dinner! Happy and pleasant staff. Delicious and memorable food.

Absolutely do not use this place for outside catering. All the salads came in small aluminum containers and leaked starting from when we brought them in. I could not enjoy the party because I had to constantly wipe up the mess. They also brought far too many sandwiches for the size of the event. Now, I must take the blame for trusting an inept consultant who did the initial order, but they should have realized the order was 150% of what was needed. They said that their catering business is "still getting started" and offered a full credit so I could use them again. I cannot imagine trusting them to not ruin another event. Please note that this is only about ordering catering. I have no idea what it is like to go to their deli. read more

A small but mighty market with some of the best sandwiches for miles around! (Note: order ahead online to make your life and the employees' lives easier!) On a recent trip, I went all in and got a bunch of stuff, including: - The kielbasa sandwich with sauerkraut and mustard. Very nice combination of spices and flavors in the kielbasa, amazingly soft and delicious bread and very flavorful toppings. - A "pig in a blanket" - or a mildly spicy, delicious sausage inside a rich puffy dough - A pirozhki, a version of an empanada/hand pie. This was amazing! The crust was flaky, buttery, with a beautiful egg wash and the inside was jam packed with beef hash, mushrooms, and potatoes (emphasis on the beef). Wish I'd bought more than one! - Pastrami sandwich. This is the stuff of dreams. As everyone notes, it's over $20, but it's also enormous and filled with so much thick, melty, incredible pastrami that they throw an extra piece of bread in there because this is really a two meal/person sandwich. (That extra piece of bread is also why my attempt to break this in half for a picture is so bad.) It is a hefty sandwich, and even though it is hands down the best pastrami sandwich I've ever had, I did save some for later, which I don't think I've ever done before, but every bite was worth savoring. All in all, an absolutely stellar experience. read more

Of comparable Deli, Grocery, and Butchers, Georgetown's Stachowski's Market is the best in its class. I'll speak now to the pastrami fans that I believe Stachowski's hot pastrami sandwich is better than those of NYC's famed Katz Delicatessen (hot take?!). Thick sliced pastrami, deli mustard, and firm but flavorful pumpernickel. The simple decadence of the sandwich is aided by its sturdy construction - packing it with a third slice of pumpernickel keeps the sandwich from becoming soggy while you find a local bench, table, or park to eat at. A few blocks off of Georgetown's main street, menu items from Stachowski's Market fill the quiet air with loud flavor. Expect quick service with multiple ordering stations, as all butchers seem to double as cashiers. I appreciate that Stachowki's doesn't allow you to alter menu items - no substitutions or half sizes - trust them! Although this review focuses most on their signature hot pastrami, all of their butcher's meat selections look fresh and the market provides a lot of locally sourced items and unique options. read more
