SO good and such a find in Navy Yard! I highly recommend Mom’s Chicken Salad sandwich, maybe one of the best sandwiches I’ve had. The prices are very affordable and they also have a ton of different drinks and snacks.

This place is the Bomb. I went there twice. One day after the other. I am from out of town and wanted a sandwich. OMG!!! So delicious. I got a spicy BLT with no Bacon. She added smoked gouda and more avocado. This sandwich was so good. We need one of these places in Delaware. They do an awesome job. AND she is super nice. 5 stars from me.

I really enjoyed this unique deli in this residential area. Their spin on sandwiches are quite flavorful, with quality ingredients. They work hard to quickly fill each order , and they are popular with the locals! Staff was very helpful and friendly, assisting me with my selection and describing the flavors and most popular selections. I also appreciate when they make personal suggested modifications. I will definitely return when I'm back in DC. I highly recommend this local favorite with much flavor, and a healthy meal alternative. Parking may be difficult and limited, so either bring a friend to circle the block and pick you back up while you order, order ahead, get ride assistance, or be patient for a nearby parking opportunity.

Since 2009, this corner market has sold to Navy Yard basic drink and food and 11 tasty sandwiches/subs. My go-to is the “Georgetown” made with turkey, lettuce, cranberries, and pesto garlic. It comes on a soft sun and it’s so food!

Cute little neighborhood corner shop serving delicious breakfast and lunch sandwiches. Start the day with The Union Station (pesto, eggs, bacon, cheese) and an iced coffee. For lunch, try the Stadium or Spicy Veggie Monument. Make the quick walk to Canal Park to enjoy a meal outdoor.

This is great hidden gem in the Navy Yard neighborhood. The people running the store are very nice, and the sandwiches are super solid. Everything is made fresh to-order, and they have a good selection of sandwich types to choose from, as well as chips, drinks, etc. Also appreciate how fast they are - I’m not sure I’ve ever waited longer than 3-4 minutes. Overall a really solid spot that should definitely be in your lunch rotation.

This place is THE BOMB... I have been coming here for about 3 years since I worked at the DOT and lived in Navy Yard. These sandwiches are legit the BEST. I typically get the Green Line which is vegetarian but have tried the other ones. All ingredients are FRESH and the sandwiches are packed. I took my sister and mom here while they were visiting and we went back every day for lunch. The salads are also good and the specials they had. Also very nice deli items like candies and drinks to go with your meal. The owners are extremely nice, friendly, and make everyone feel welcomed. I am so happy they are making it through COVID and wish them them best. GO bless them up please! Miss Mo
