Deanwood Deli

Another dc hidden gem. Though in an obscure place, the atmosphere and staff are nice. It's not your typical take out spot. The outdoor patio is grand and has a lot of seating. You will need your bug spray as the flies and mosquitos are present.The wings were reasonable size and saucy ! The fish sandwich was flaky and tasty. The crab cake was large and definitely no filler added. & lastly the chicken sandwhich was just as saucy as the wings. I love how large the portions were for such reasonable prices.

This was our 1st time trying Deanwood Deli. We learned while standing in line that this deli is only a year and 1 month old based on today's date, Friday, August 30, 2024. This deli is small so you'll have to take your food to go or you can sit outside at the tables when the weather is nice. The service was fast but on the other hand the man that took our order was a complete dust off for me. What I mean by that is, his attitude was not friendly. His attitude reads like "I'm just doing this because I have to pay bills." He didn't smile, make conversation, make suggestions, or anything. The most he said was, "You ordered the best sandwich." It seemed as though he was flustered when we told him that our daughter doesn't eat certain items, so, 86 the mayo and tomato. Our baby usually eats her sandwiches and burgers plain with nothing on them but the meat and cheese. So for her to take only 2 things off is growth for her. LoL! The lemonade is disgusting!! *GaG!* I was going back to get something else to drink but my husband gave me his Pepsi to drink and he drank the lemonade. All in all, it was good. I've had much better food at other restaurants. It's worth a 1 time try if you're in the area.

I've based this spot a few times and remember thinking how nice the outside was. I finally decided to give it a try over the weekend. I was sold when I found out it is affiliated with MLK Deli. It was maybe less than an hour before closing when I went but you would never know. The customer service was great from start to finish. She even brought our food outside to us when it was ready. I think they are in a high visibility area and I was surprised to see there's plenty of parking along the side of the building and seating outdoors. I can see this being a nice, chill spot to enjoy when the weather is warm again. I ordered the Parker's Fried Chicken Sandwich and fries. The sandwich was delicious and the sweet chili mumbo sauce complimented it well. My mother ordered a club sandwich and she said she really enjoyed it. I'm definitely going back. The price point was great, customer service was excellent and the food was delicious.

The food and service was fantastic, we actually sat outside it toeat; the weather was nice that day.

Yes. If you are questioning whether you should try it, the answer is yes. I have driven past Deanwood deli. On my way to the office multiple times. I always wondered why they would stick a deli in what appeared to be such a random spot. BF randomly found some reviews and decided we were going for dinner. We tried the reuben, the fish sandwich, the lemon pepper wings, and the fries. Everything was so good! I do wish there was more meat on the reuben but it was still deliciousThe place is clean and the lady at the register was really nice and patient as we worked our way through the menu.On my way home from work today, I almost took a detour so I could get another reuben. I hope they continue to do great business and remain in the area. We will definitely be back.

I'm super excited about this addition to the neighborhood! We went during their soft opening, so the menu was limited.We tried Freda's fish sandwich (crispy, cooked to perfection, light and tasty), 1/4 lb crab cake (A LOT of real crab. no fillers, well seasoned), Glizzyy hotdog with chili and cheese (huge, tasty, real meat in the chili) and habanero wings (crispy, juicy, nice kick). We enjoyed everything! My favorite was the fish sandwich, but I can see myself ordering all of these items again.PROS: Good tasty food with quality ingredients, service was friendly and efficient, food was well packaged, place is aesthetically pleasant.CONS: No seating for dining in, wish they had jalapeños! No diet sodas available.Overall our experience was great and we plan to return to try other items.

I wanna just say I'm so glad something like this is around in the area that is in, you can't really find good quality lunch foods that has the options that deanwood has to offer. I got the fish sandwhich and first off very beautiful and impressive piece of fish it was I believe cod given its texture and look. The brioche bun and fresh lettuce and tomato also pair nicely with it sort of wish now it had maybe some red onion slices on top as well. The only problem I really feel that could make this sandwich better was a little more seasoning. If this fish was dredged in a mixture of some old bay, Cajun or even lemon pepper seasoning it would elevate this sandwich to a whole new level. It was just to bland and all I tasted was the lettuce and tomato and the bun. I added more tartar sauce and hot sauce and it just didn't do much. Once again the quality and freshness and presentation is only one of the reasons I'm coming back to possibly try out the whole menu if possible lol they sell everything that I crave on a daily basis when it comes to eating a good lunch/dinner so I'm eager to go back and give other things on the menu a try. Also the outside seating and building is really nice I'm sure summer time people flocked to hang there and eat their food right outside. Maybe if they put heaters people won't mind doing it as winter is approaching but either way very nice set up they have going on.

This food is so so good! The wings are some of the best in the area. The fist sandwich is outstanding. I'd love to see more options added.

The salmon cake was buttery & flaky; lowkey the best one I've had in a hot min. Be warned if you sit outside tho- you will get eaten alive by mosquitos
