I've known about Crofton Depot for a while but just recently got a chance to stop in on my lunch…read morebreak, and I'm glad I did. So far I've tried the California Powerhouse and the Turkey Club, and both were stacked with fresh ingredients. The portions are solid, and you can tell they're not skimping on anything. The Powerhouse came on a Kaiser roll and the club on white bread, and both held up really well. I've gotten fries on the side each time. They're cooked well, but they come out unsalted and a little bland on their own. That said, once you add some ketchup, they're perfectly fine and do the job. Service has been quick both times I went. I stopped by around 11:30 during the week (Thursday and Friday), and there was no line either time. From ordering to getting my food was about 5 minutes total, so it's definitely a solid option for a quick lunch. The shop itself is very clean and welcoming, and the staff has been friendly and helpful on both visits. Ordering is simple, though I did notice some of the same sandwich names listed in different sections with different prices, which was a little confusing. I meant to ask about it but forgot. They have a wide selection of deli-style sandwiches (hot and cold), plus cheesesteaks and burgers, which I haven't tried yet. For a sandwich, fries, and a drink, it's been a little over $18, but with the portion sizes and quality, I think it's worth it. I'll definitely be back. I'm especially interested in trying their breakfast since this area doesn't have a lot of strong breakfast spots, so I'm curious to see how they compare.

For a table for 3, it would have been about a 25 minute wait but there was plenty of seating at the bar open so we opted for that. I don't believe they take reservations. Bartender was great and service was fast. Ordered a couple of beers and for food, we opted for the Honey Old Bay Wings, the Crab Cake Grilled Cheese and the Slammin' Salmon. Everything came out fairly quickly. The wings were amazing! Very tender and hot and the Honey Old Bay Ratio was perfect. I loved my Slammin' Salmon sandwich and the Crab Cake Grilled Cheese was also good. The portions were large and we had a great time here. Would definitely recommend coming!

This place has been a favorite of ours for so long and I'm not sure how I haven't reviewed it…read morealready. The place is in a prime location with plenty of parking outside. On a good weather day you can eat inside or out as they put tables outside for more customers. They have a small sports bar if you want to watch the game but most of the seating is for lower tables. There are not a ton of tables so on busy days we recommend coming earlier than you think. Service is always on point. We have been served by repeat waiters/waitresses as well as the owner of the place many times over our visits. And if you need something you can always call over a nearby waiter. The food is also good. We recommend upgrading to the onion rings which may be the best we've ever had. We also love the dry rub wings which always come out hot and fresh. The slammin salmon and the aloha chicken are our absolute go tos and they are always delicious. You can even ask for them on Brioche or as a wrap. All in all we love this place and continue to make it a staple when we are close by and even when we aren't!

The staff greeted me at the door and told me to take my time upon ordering. While I was deciding what I wanted, the cashier told me that another location was opening within the county which is exciting for the franchise. Howeeeeever, I believe as others have mentioned.. I would like for them to work on their flavor. I ordered the Vivi's Sandwich, swapped the fries out for mac and a single Jumbo Tender. Their mac&chz, I prefer to order from.... Chickfila. Their chicken was eh, decent. Kinda bland. The jumbo tender itself is big yes, but I'm not sure about $3.99 big... BUT their sauce was to die for!! I left with I believe Thai Chili and one of Vivi's Signature sauces and both were great. One suggestion I have is to expand their drink options. Overall.. I would try again if someone else wanted to go. I went on a solo trip but their menu is loaded with other options! If/When I return, I will surly update!

Update review as of 9.12.2025 This update is base on…read moretoday's experience. We brought visiting family to try this spot because we enjoy their food. We placed three different orders to dine in. Our visiting family received their order correct. (Thankfully) My oldest daughter had missing poppers. While my order and my youngest daughter's order never arrived. Eventually, we asked for an update and the guy was clueless to what we were talking about. We had to explain multiple times that we never received any of the items on our receipt. And at this point, we wanted a full refund, including the tip that we provided prior to the service. The gentleman eventually went back to the kitchen to verify. I overheard them speaking in Spanish and one of them saying you "mean the food that's been sitting there". They didn't realize I spoke Spanish. I didn't receive an apology from the guy who brought the food. Again, we still had missing items after waiting all this time. I asked the gentleman for my Greek salad and the sauce. (I would like include that this has happen in previous visits) The guy was taking forever to bring out the items. I tried getting someone else's attention, but I was ignored. When I started to speak in Spanish the man washing dishes looked my way. But was not helpful, the man eventually came out with the salad and the sauce. At this point, our party who received their meals had finished and the restaurant was getting ready to close. I just took the food and left with my party without enjoying a hot meal. Since the food was sitting out for so long it wasn't as hot. Plus we felt rushed, as they prepped to close. I'm sad to say I've experience other mild issues but not as major as this one. The restaurants continues to be kept presentable and clean. But the quality of service is not the best and you always have to check you get all your items within your order. We meet the owner when they first open and they seem to be good people. I never claimed the gift card they offered from the original post because I believe in support business owners. Especially when they try to provide good quality food. I'll rather show my thanks by always being a returning customer. But I'm sad to write today's review. Today with the previous experiences was my final decision to write an updated review. If you decide to visit for take out, please verify you receive all your items. If you experience delays, follow up with someone because there is a chance your food is sitting on the kitchen counter. Overall, food is still good.

Sunday 1/11/26 Once…read moreagain, another spot that I found with the help of yelp as the high ratings & reviews definitely gained my attention. I made a takeout order and got the crab cake omelette (w/ a biscuit) $18.29, legendary scone: Blueberry $3, single blueberry pancake $2.89, single maple bacon pancake $2.89, and single cinnamon roll pancake $2.89. - The crab cake omelet was my 2nd favorite as they surprisingly didn't skimp on the crab additions. The biscuit was just alright, but luckily it's best once combined with omlette to make a good sandwich. - The blueberry scone was probably my favorite, as it was pretty good. It was moist, fresh, and well done. - The trifecta of pancakes ranged from just okay to decent, and my ranking would go blueberry, maple bacon, and then cinnamon roll. For some odd reason, the texture of the cinnamon roll pancake was notably inferior to the other 2. Overall, my experience was quite a good one due to the scone and crab omelet delivering the most. -- #issa.cheatday

Place your order, pay and get a number then grab a seat. Breakfast on the waterfront is whats here, with a few seats inside. Some benches are outside as well down by the waters edge and marina. It was a nice sunny morning on our visit so we grabbed a bench outside and waited for our number. Biscuits and gravy with two eggs over medium, the biscuits were good and the gravy better than average and its pretty hard to mess up a couple eggs. All in all a decent enough breakfast. The location makes this place what it is, a waterfront breakfast joint. Small interior, busy and not much of a place to sit and enjoy other than outside. The line moves pretty quick. 3.5 Stars rounded up for the locale 01108

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.

We ordered shortly thereafter - lamb lollipops cooked medium as an app, and pork chop/crab cakes for entrees. The appetizer did not arrive for approximately 45 minutes, and it was quite disappointing when it did. Several of the pieces were cooked medium rare to rare instead of medium (when I cut into my first bite, pink pieces of undercooked meat got stuck in the grooves of the knife), and they were not particularly flavorful. We didn't finish it and, to the restaurant's credit, they took it off the bill without us needing to ask. It took another 15-20 mins for our mains to arrive. When they did, they were both very tasty and cooked to order. We had a gift card, and likely will not return to pay out of pocket for the prices they charge. We could tell all of the servers were stressed and doing their best, but especially with the long wait time, drink refills and check-ins were not as frequent as I would have liked.
