Deli For the Belly

This place is the definition of a working man's deli. No foo-foo sandwiches. No fancy presentation. Just solid food for a reasonable price. The closest thing to a dress code was flannel and work boots.I'm a big fan of their breakfast sandwiches, and usually get a breakfast burrito to go. For under $5.50 the price is a steal (it's actually $1 cheaper than the Eisenhower Deli down the road).The location is nothing to look at and its often busy in the morning; several times I've been waiting for my order simply because someone called in a big order right before me. But if you're looking for cheap eats, this is the place.

This is a real deli - great spot - they are fast and food is good - not a instagram breakfast spot

We've been meaning to give it a try, but often do our takeout for dinner and they're breakfast/lunch. Stopped in to get some lunch to take to the park. I went with the cheeseburger sub. Long roll with two burger patties, American cheese, lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, and ketchup. It was a very classic deli/bodega style sandwich. Not breaking new ground, but a filling lunch. I'm looking forward to giving some other items a try.

This is one of those hole in the wall places that you love and have as one of your regulars. Great service and really good food. They have several bakery options too and serve breakfast. Great find and I'll definitely be back!

My mom, son, and I stopped in for lunch before visiting nearby Scramble. The industrial location makes this spot easy to overlook. There is a small parking lot, but the deli shares it so look where you park since spaces are marked. The space inside seems pretty run down, kinda dirty. They have no high chairs and no bathroom, which presented a problem when I had to change my baby's diaper. There's no soda fountain either but an extensive bottled drink fridge selection. I believe breakfast is served all day, but we both opted for lunch. I had a gyro and my mom had the pulled pork with coleslaw. Portions of both were generous! The gyro meat was seasoned well, the pita was fresh, but it needed more tzatziki. Also everything fell out of the pita with each bite making it difficult to eat. My mom liked her pulled pork. The coleslaw was more vinegar based and she said it paired nicely. Her complaint was the gun was too big for the amount of meat. My complaint was that while the pork was seasoned well, I found it to be very dry. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing because breakfast reviews seem solid. I'm not really in this area often but would consider returning here again. I'd just order differently.

Double order of corned beef hash? $9.00? I could buy 6 cans of my own and it would be better than this... Oh well... Tried and duped again...

Been here a number of times when visiting a friend that lives in a nearby apartment complex. I live in CT so I only visit for a few days as a mini vacation but I always look forward to Deli For the Belly. I've never been disappointed with their food and I'm always grateful that it is one of the more affordable places to eat in Alexandria. Even the cakes are delicious and I don't regret buying a slice. I highly recommend getting breakfast or lunch here. I'm going to be genuinely dejected when my friend moves in a few months :( and I only got to grab food there once this weekend :(

These breakfast sandwiches are great! Highly recommend the Bacon Egg & Cheese on a Croissant. They also have a lot of convenience items and a great selection for lunch and sweet pastries! Limited parking, so check the google page and maybe call ahead before heading over, but whatever you do it will not fail to please!

compared to the other mom and pop shops around, the food has much higher quality. Service is great and lots of options.
