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..

Pastrami sandwich on rye with deli mustard.

When I tell you that I left this place wanting to pick it up and literally put it inside my neighborhood....please believe me. This is just the first impression that I got having patronized this deli/butcher shop. I am learning more and more that if I want a great meal outside of the house, then I'm going to have to start patronizing certain spaces, and butchers are at the top of the list. This place is fantastic-small but mighty. I came here with my husband on a lunch date. He's been on the hunt to find a pastrami sandwich that he doesn't have to go to New York for, or order to the house, and after discovering this place online, he said let's go-and we went. Needless to say, he got the pastrami sandwich with rye instead of the pumpernickel that it comes with mustard (also included). I got the grinder sandwich or should I say sub. First of all let's talk size-it is a huge sub, easily enough to feed 3 to 4 people-both sandwiches could easily feed multiple people. Second, let's talk quality of ingredients. Superb. You can smell the freshness of the ingredients through the butcher paper that the sandwich is wrapped in. Neither of us (minus the bread substitution) substituted our meal in any way...we got it as is-and let me tell you, there as is was phenomenal. They use quality meats, quality veggies, and quality bread and put together something so spectacular and delicious like you wouldn't believe. There are other things in this shop to buy besides sandwiches. It's a complete butcher shop so with that comes specialty butter, specialty sauces, there's even a little small produce section in the front, there's wine, there's coffee, there's cookies and all sorts of fresh meat by the pound. There's nowhere to sit so we did end up having our meal right in the car, however it is 100% worth it to do so if you live far away like we do. We were in the area, but we are absolutely going to take the 45 minute to an hour drive from my home every time we're in the mood. It is just that good. Upon checkout we were given two cookies that we were going to pay for, but we were offered them complementary. That was such the icing on the cake for our experience in this deli. We hadn't even taste the sandwiches at this point yet, but we are so huge on customer service,and that gesture also guaranteed that we would return-even before we knew how great the food was. Everyone was very detail oriented in what they were doing and were personable with customers. And the place wasn't super busy...I think we came right before the lunch crowd hit, but when I tell you, I know the locals in that neighborhood are ecstatic to have such an establishment just steps away from where they live; because I know I would be. If you've heard about this place...or you haven't heard about this place and you are just curious, and wanting a good quality deli sandwich or 2 pounds of a good ribeye steak, or a few pounds of quality ground beef, or a nice pound of French butter-come here. Run-do not walk. It is worth every effort and every dollar that you will give it. My husband, who loves Katz in NY so very much, who not only travels from MD often to get it but will have it shipped to our home, said that this place has replaced the need to do any of that. He said this sandwich is better than Katz. That should tell you everything you need to know! Enjoy!

No filler and local.

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.

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!

Inside of the pirozhki. First time having one!
Leah C.

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!

Roy S.

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!

Hot Pastrami (unwrapped)
Scott W.

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.

Guanciale with 99% fat content
Thomas W.

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.

Isabel A.

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!

The pile of peppers picked out of Grinder ordered with "No Hot Peppers."  Also, some of the inedible gristle from the Pastrami sandwich.
Russell W.

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.

Specialty meats 5/2024

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.

Grinder

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!

Roast Beef
Parisa A.

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.

Tasty turkey sandwich!

Is it open on Sundays?

Yes - though I do not know when the hours are. I have gotten sandwiches there early afternoon a few times.

What about pierogi?

They have pierogi in the refrigerator. Not house made but authentic

Does this butcher sell authentic Italian sausage?

I'm sure his recipe for Italian Sausage is authentic, if he ever carry's it. I don't remember seeing any. But I know this as a "Polish Butcher Delicatessen", and I enjoyed their Pastrami on Pumpernickel & fresh Kkiolbassa sausage.

Does this market sell venison (deer meat)?

Sometimes, I've seen it in the freezer section, I bet they do special orders on request of fresh venison meat.

Do they have pazcki?

Do you mean those Polish jelly doughnuts? If so, then no. But I just finished eating one of their Peroshkis a moment ago, and BOY was it delish!

It took them about 10 to 15 minutes to prepare my sandwich. They should use a number system for order pickups because people, including myself, had difficulty determining which order they were serving. Many of the sandwich names sounded alike. My sandwich was kind of small for the price, and it wasn't very filling. It was, however, very good. It was flavorful and packed with flavor. The service was ok. It was nothing special. They did their job and did not go beyond or be overly friendly. All in all, I would recommend checking this deli out for some really good sandwiches. They really do live up to their name, the Best Sandwich Place.

I heard good things about their sandwiches. My go to is normally Mangialardo's on Pennsylvania Ave in SE DC or Carl's Subbs on Rhode Island Ave in NE DC. I think I will stick to both of them next time. The staff was very friendly and helpful to me as a first timer but the sandwich was totally disapointing! NOT worth it, at all. I ordered a 9 inch capicola, ham, and cheese sub on the hard roll. The roll was very good and fresh but I couldn't taste the cheese or meat in the sandwich because there wasn't enough of it. I tasted the bread, the toppings of lettuce, tomato and onions. I decided to deconstruct the sandwich and found exactly 4 very thinly sliced pieces of meat and 2 very thinly sliced pieces of cheese as pictured clearly in the photographs. I also noticed that the they have different prices for the same type of meats. For example, they have a $29.99 per pound Capicola and one for $9.99 a pound. I asked which went on the sandwich and of course it was the cheaper one. That wasn't surprising and getting my sandwich back to the office. I decided not to eat the rest of the meatless sandwich and just take the loss. I wouldn't come back nor would I recommend a friend to try it

Server came by, not so much as a greeting or introduction, just a short, "do you know what you want?" Fine - no problem. We ordered two avocado toasts and side of fries to share. Now, the menu clearly says the avocado toasts are served with a "runny egg". Ok sure, no problem. What i did not anticipate was a half raw egg with the yolk swimming in a sea of translucent completely uncooked "whites". It was like a golden disc encased in a snot rocket. Ok, maybe that's their "runny". Slide it off the toast and press on - snail trail of mucus be damned. The avocado spread was great - bright, citrusy, and well seasoned. The "hot sauce" was likely from a bottle and could have been left off. The radishes would have benefitted from being tossed in lemon, salt and pepper. The image of the "runny" egg was too much so I ate half the toast serving and meandered to the fries. Not bad, crispy , hot, and...wait...sweet...something is off, I can't put my finger on it but at least it's not a raw egg. I keep eating. My kids looks at me and says, "do these remind you of funnel cake?" THAT'S IT - FUNNEL CAKE. We have both had enough, ask for the check.
