Heckman's Delicatessen - Bethesda

I'm pulled out of chicago, where they have the best of the best pinned bark. this is a good alternative and the pastrami was also great!

We had eaten at Heckman's before, but we had been hesitant to return because of poor service. The food has always been good, but the total disorganization and poor management is evident in all aspects of the deli. We made a reservation for dinner on Christmas night. We arrived and were seated on time. But the place was a zoo, with frenetic and harried waitstaff. After we were seated, a table nearby with menus still open, decided to leave. When one of our group went to use the rest room, both rest rooms were out of order. After that, we decided to leave rather than suffering through another bad service event. We won't be back. Too bad!

Mediocre food; mediocre, being generous, **** Mary. The place was empty but for us and one customer that came to pick up take out. Interesting to try once.

I have moved from Chicago, where they have the best of the best corned beef. This is a good alternative and the pastrami was great too!

We have yet to eat something on the menu that we dislike. Just like home Jewish cooking. Delicious!!!
