Amazing little spot that has been there for 49 yrs. The Best Ruben I’ve ever had! Fish was so tender and tasty with out a lot of batter. Coleslaw was delicious and the cornbread was sweet and moist. Chicken and rice soup had big chunks of chicken and great flavor. Fries were crispy. Lots of food for very reasonable prices. Will be back anytime we’re in the area!

Deli City Restaurant — Reuben is a Super Showstopper.
An exquisite, overstuffed Reuben with extremely tender corned beef and perfectly balanced seasoning — not salty.
Toasted rye adds crisp contrast, tangy sauce and sauerkraut brighten the richness, and a subtle buttery finish makes each bite decadently messy.
Massive and shareable; don’t forget the extra napkins, a fork and knife, and be prepared to split it — easily serves two.
Hearty, perfectly balanced, and utterly indulgent — an award‑winning Reuben that demands a second visit.

The place does not have aesthetics or great service. But their food was great. The pastrami sandwich is amazing (5/5). The French fries smelled amazing but didn’t have much seasoning though..! They were fluffy not crunchy. The place was packed with people in a small space which scared me a little (2/5). But I guess it was everyday regulars. Overall don’t go expecting anything else apart from good food. They have parking but they don’t take cards.

Breakfast is always delicious you will not be disappointed. Bacon shell eggs with american cheese with a side of buttery flavored grits and the potatoes and onions are great as well.

Best pastrami sandwich in DC….by a landslide! A few other places had a decent one (like now closed On Rye in Chinatown), but they were always overpriced and just not worth the money. For under $9, you can get a large hot pastrami sandwich that will rock your taste buds (and it comes with a really, really good pickle).
Don’t get me wrong. This place doesn’t look cool and it’s a hike to get there (it’s nowhere close to a metro), but it’s worth it. It’s a 1960s small hut with a orange mural marking its location. When you walk in, it feels like a small cafeteria filled with locals eating their sandwiches. You’ll see construction workers and old men in suits and hats having lunch (they aren’t open for dinner…darn!). After reading the very old menu, a friendly woman will take your order. Wait until it’s ready and pay up front (cash only- there’s an ATM at the gas station next door).
You can’t go wrong here, but the hot pastrami sandwich on wheat with cheese and mustard is to die for. They sell old school Dr Brown’s soda, which is fitting.
To “make it” on Yelp, you either have to believe in the power of peer reviews and surprise and delight (Rose’s Luxury on Barracks Row does this well) or own who you are and don’t give a damn. Deli City is the latter and it works…like five star works.

This place is a gem. Like stepping back to the 1970’s (in a good way). Corned beef and pastrami so tender they fall apart and dissolve on your tongue. Waitresses call you “baby” and “honey.” LOVE IT

I have never ever taste a fish sandwich this good in my life. It tastes better than any high end restaurant. The service was excellent, the waitress was so polite and friendly. I’ve been there several times over the years and I always order the same thing the fish sandwich. As I observed the people that patronize the restaurant. Some ordered takeout and some ate inside. Everything thing I had seen on others plates from the breakfast foods and well stacked deli sandwiches looked good. The restaurant is very cozy and family friendly. I highly recommend it, if you’re ever in the area. and ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The establishment looks a little raunchy but overall the food is like a 7/10. I’ve had their fish sandwich. It was decent. I will say they give you your money’s worth. They only accept cash which I don’t always carry. I also tried their home fries. I didn’t like them they were mushy/ soggy. I like my home fries to be a little crispy.
