Loeb's Ny Deli - Washington

Amazing deli sandwiches, with friendly service! Can't rush quality, but worth every penny, and can't wait to come back!

Okay. I 've walked by this place every other day for a year now, and something in me said: today 's the day you try this place! Go in! A few people came in after me, so I knew I probably made an okay choice. The lady next to me said 'it 's good. You 'll like it. ' I loved the deli vibe inside. I got an everything bagel egg and cheese sammich with scrapple and a side of corned beef hash. The place was getting busy. My order came up in about ten minutes. Not too shabby. The cashier puts it in a plastic bag. I take it back to my building and pull it out. The sandwich is pretty good. The corned beef hash is my issue; it was packaged by a mom that doesn 't love you. They put it on a paper plate that completely soaked through with fat and then covered over it with foil.. so the hash fell out when I unrolled the foil. The hash was $8. I dunno. I try not to be one of those uppity eaters, but it was a little bit of a pricey breakfast that was marred by packaging weirdness. Shrug.

When I grew up in New York, the local deli was kosher and dairy, shellfish and pork were forbidden. At Loeb's you can get corned beef, pastrami, kosher hot dogs and other traditional deli fare like matzo ball soup or chopped liver. You can also have a BLT, a lobster roll or a shrimp salad. Reasonably priced and conveniently located across the street from the Farragut Square metro, it's a great place for a meal or hearty nosh.

Prices are New York but service is Caribbean and portions are effete 30 min wait for a cold sandwich while the place is empty

It's fine. Good quality but far from the best I've had. High priced for what it is and hidden fees hurt the score also.
