Just a corned beef with mustard. Rye is ok. Not enough corned beef. A little overcooked as was super shredded and dry.
Chicago Italian Beef. Very forgettable as it was bland and dry. 1/10 rating.

Came for dinner on a Tuesday night around 7pm. The place was totally empty so service was quick and easy.Ordered marks mash up which is basically a BLT with chicken, avocado, and roasted red pepper on challah bread. Super delicious and decent portion size. The chicken was surprisingly moist.To drink I had a non alcoholic peach mint spritz -- delicious! A sweet bubbly treat that paired nice with the sandwich.The set up is like a cafe and counter service style though the person on staff that night did bring over my sandwich and drink to me while I was seated waiting. Unsure if that's the norm or because me and my friend were the only ones there. Really friendly and speedy service regardless!They play fun pop music but the vibe is a little sterile for a deli and missing some character. A sandwich and drink was about ~20 which for DC is fairly normal but felt pricey for a "deli."This location used to be a cafe and it doesn't look like they changed the set up. It works for what it is but gives off more of a grab and go vibe.Wish I had gotten a sweet treat. I think they're listed on the menu but I didn't see any on display so forgot. A cookie would've gone great with the sammy!Overall I really enjoyed my meal and if I lived or worked in the area, this would be the perfect lunch spot or quick dinner spot.Would recommend!

Ordering was simple a kiosk when I got to the restaurant. I got a papa Eddie. It came with like an au Jus to dip the sandwich in. It was very good, the brisket was good and the bread worked well with dip. The sandwich price wasn't bad but a can of soda was $3. I probably would get something to drink elsewhere if you're thirsty. There was a small bar with some seating to eat at.

This is honestly the BEST reuben I have ever had!! Im a loyay Parkway Deli customer and I always get their reuben. This puts Parkway to shame! Unlike most places that slice their meat, this is more chopped for lack of a better descriptor. And it makes all the difference. Its perfectly seasoned and so moist and tender, it almost melts on the tongue. The bread is delicious too, as is the chocolate egg cream! Do yourself a favor and go!! No matter where you get your favorite reuben (even if its nyc or brooklyn), this will unseat it!

Great new Jewish Deli across from Nats Park! My wife and I went before a game and got The Papa Eddie and an Italian Beef special as well as potato salad, a coffee drink, and a beer. The staff were friendly and the seating is very limited to several bar stools. Everything was amazing and we look forward. We look forward to returning and trying new items.

Right across the street from Nationals Park is Beresovsky's Deli, a deli that serves large sandwiches for under $15. Meeting a friend for lunch, I ordered the "Herbert's Fave" with pastrami, slaw, and mustard on marble rye. It was very filling, messy, and tasty! I added a soda and chips making my bill just under $20. There are a few window seats inside, but the main seating is outside. Restrooms are inside the Gatsby, a restaurant next door owned by the same group.

I recently went to Beresovsky's Deli before a weeknight Nationals game to get a pastrami sandwich as I had heard that it had opened in the last couple months. The first thing I noticed is that the entrance closest to the register and the metro station is blocked off, forcing customers to go around to the entrance of The Gatsby next door. Beresovsky's Deli is extremely plain, with no decorations and only a few stools by the window. When I arrived, there was no one behind the counter-I ordered off a computer screen and several things weren't available. The undecorated walls and no interaction with anyone behind the counter immensely detracted from the experience as these are core parts of any deli. Despite there only being two orders in front of me, it took 10 minutes to get my pastrami sandwich.While Beresovsky's Deli reasonable priced their pastrami sandwich ($13), I quickly found out why, as more than half the filling was coleslaw and not pastrami. The little pastrami I had in my sandwich was delicious-some of the best pastrami I've had in DC. However, the coleslaw overwhelmed the meat and needed to be on the side. Additionally, I did not get a complementary pickle on the side, which is essential with a pastrami sandwich. I'm glad I tried the sandwich and Beresovsky's but will go elsewhere for a pastrami sandwich in the future.

Jewish-ish deli: a couple of the sandwiches have bacon on them :p this is not Second Avenue Deli but it seems like a nice addition to the area. Prices are very reasonable for the sandwiches. The "Marc's Mashup" was really good. With bacon haha. It's basically a chicken club with roasted red pepper added and on challah. Very tasty, I recommend. The brisket isn't the beeeest ever but the sandwich was a huge and a good value. The perogis and knish are good too. Again, not the planet's best but enjoyable. I will be back for more sandwiches for sure.

Good service and sandwich but "pickle" is just a slightly dilly cucumber. Also frustrated that we still can't use the door closest to the counter. Some colleagues and I went for lunch today. I got Herbert's Fave with a pickle on the side. The sandwich was delicious: plenty of filling, very tender pastrami, nice bread, and just the right amount of grease. Very filling without being gratuitous. Price feels reasonable for the amount of meat and the homemade bread. A major flub related to their first week is the "pickle". It's still just a crunchy cucumber with a hint of brine and dill. These are not ready for prime time--especially for the extra charge of $1.49. I expect that's related to just opening, but that's no excuse, especially for a deli. The brownies smelled and looked good, but be aware that the black and white cookies looked more like nibbles with how small they are. Why?? That and the pickle feel like dumb, fundamental unforced errors. Still worth going, just isn't up to snuff at this point and what I expect from this brand.

gahhhhhdawmmmm - dc may have 4,000 Mediterranean restaurants and 2,500 Ethiopian spots, but you know what they don't have?!? simple nyc style delis. why? why. - beresvoskys is absolutely filling a culinary void. maybe once this place gains popularity, it'll start a movement of new delis & perhaps begin to charge what actual classic oldschool nyc delis charge- my only qualm is that they don't list the price of their specials and this sandwich was $17.... other sandwiches are $13-15, but this is not the cheap casual deli it needs to be - okay okay okay let's talk about the MEAT. when people say meat can melt in your mouth....they meant this meat. this pastrami was expertly charred on the edges while still being the softest most tender slices I've ever hard. using a fork you couldn't even pick up the meat as it fell apart at the touch- horseradish sauce side was a great size, perfect combo of that ridiculous tang and creamy cool flavor - I ordered just a 1/2 lb of pastrami for $8. it was stunning, juicy, and I can't name another place in dc proper with this type of menu options

Usually I love this place. Just had a 1 star sando though so dropping some feedback. I order gluten free sandwiches and the bread is usually toasted so nice, sandwich wrapped so neatly, it's a delicious experience. However this time I was given a to-go box with raw GF bread and ingredients. Raw, cold GF bread falls apart easy, doesn't taste so good, dissolves in the dip so I couldn't use the dip. Everything was cold because it wasn't wrapped. It all just fell apart. Attached pic of what I got this time, which was bad, and some previous sandwiches which were great!
