Representing November in the 2024 photo series is Mikey & Mel's. My girlfriend & I tried Lib's Grill 9 days earlier. I saw Mikey & Mel's and was curious. We had a long Maple Lawn walk with a Meetup group at 12 PM on Sunday, November 3. Some of them were going for food here afterwards at like 2 PM. Going beforehand was better as we didn't want to eat brunch/lunch that late especially after daylight savings just ended. So, we got there at about 11 AM (which really was 12 PM on daylight time). I asked how the timing would be if we need to be out by 12, they said fine. It was not an issue. Service was relatively fast. I got the Omelet, which was excellent. However, they left off the pastrami, but they were quick to remedy. I said just give the meat on the side, and I'll throw on. They gave a generous amount, more than would be in the omelet, which I appreciated. The mushroom, avocado, & pastrami omelet was outstanding. As for the potatoes & bagel, it was a bit underwhelming. The potatoes had a weird flavor, maybe the seasoning. The bagel was very good, but it was a bit more well done than I like.Server was also friendly, knowledgeable, & answered all my questions as well as fast except with the water refills; so we ended up going up for more water to the soda machine. It's also a cute place in terms of decorations. I'd come back for a Corned Beef or Pastrami sandwich at some point as the meat from the omelet was great.Additionally, maybe about 2 months ago, my friend who lives in Arlington mentioned this cool Jewish deli called Mikey & Mel's that just opened in downtown DC. I said been there, done that in Howard County, MD. He had no idea about this (from his prospective) very northernly location.

This place is a gem. An authentic Jewish deli with large portions. If you like this kind of food, there are very few options to get it done right. The pastrami is very tasty, liver is great. White fish has 2 variants each very good. All the staples are there, except inconsistent availability of pumpernickel. Prices are reasonable, way better than you get in many authentic delis. You'll be too full for desert but take rugelach home and maybe even gift some.

My wife and I visited Mikey and Mel's deli in Fulton Maryland today.It was about half full of customersAlways looking for a great deli that might hold a candle to the New York institutions like Carnegie's, Katz's and 2nd Ave. deli.This fell shortFirst about the serviceThe server did not know details about the items on the menu. Part of our order was not delivered, and I had to flag down the hostess at the front to try to get it to our tablethough very pleasant, the service was only fair.The foodI ordered the corned beef on rye with mustard and french fries.The rye bread was very fresh, the mustard was a normal deli.mustard, and the corned beef was first cut very flavorful and very enjoyable. The french fries however, were mushy, cold, and soggy.The pickles.When we finally got the pickles, the plate contained a full sour, a half sour, and dill pickle chips. The full sour was a very well executed pickle. Just enough fermentation, ample crunch, and great flavor.The pickle chips were also crunchy flavorful and very well executed.The half sour was disappointing. It needed longer in the brine. Overall, I would give our experience a three.Four for the corned beef sandwich.Two for the french fries3 1/2 for the picklesTwo for the service

Finally tried this deli and I must say I can see why they have these glowing reviews. I can't believe it took me this long to try this place as I don't live that far away. I didn't even realize there was this much seating inside. I was craving a sandwich during lunch yesterday. I decided to place an online order for a Mikey corned beef reuben with a side of chips. I ordered it without the thousand island dressing (just never been a fan). I got the russian dressing on the side. There's a pickle bar and a full dessert menu! They have a big breakfast menu as well. I had gotten a text letting me know that my order was ready. There was definitely a lunch rush, and it was super busy, but I didn't have to wait too long for someone to help me get my order. I really enjoyed this sandwich, and it was filling. The price is hefty though - $20 is a bit steep but when I want to treat myself again, this is where I'll come.

I've been meaning to come here forever and I was finally able to stop by some time ago. I specifically came for the whitefish sandwich and latkes. The cashier recommended the creamy version so I ordered that with a latke with applesauce. The sandwich definitely comes overstuffed! It was pretty good but a bit on the salty side. The latke was amazing. It reminded me of the latkes I ate during childhood when we would celebrate Hannukah in elementary school. I'll definitely order the latke again but will try the chunky version of the whitefish sandwich instead. They also have lots of pastries, so I'm looking forward to trying those as well.

My first time eating at Mikey and Mel's Deli even though I live 5 minutes away. I didn't know you can eat in, I always thought it was a carry out type establishment. Our service was great and I ordered the Mikey chunky white fish salad sandwich on challah bread with homemade potato chips. It was sizable sandwich and pretty good, although at the end, the whitefish got salty for me. I would go back to try the corned beef, matzah ball soup, and pastrami.

My husband and I had lunch at this place because of the reviews. I had a turkey sandwich and he had the turkey pastrami. I do apologize no pictures were taken. I just don't see what's the big deal about this place. The sandwiches were not that great for a deli expensive though. I did not eat all of mine and my husband said his was underwhelming. The ambiance was ok. Nothing special. The service was fast and the servers were nice. We came. We conquered. We left. Both disappointed that we had traveled the distance for a lunch that just was not memorable.

Popped in to grab some breakfast! My first visit and I'm so disappointed I've been sleeping on this place! Very attentive staff, tons of selections from desserts to salads, and meats. Very clean, nice seating areas. I'll definitely be back!

Today I got a couple items I've never had before: a spinach knish and brisket fries. The knish was just ok. Nice and warm, like I like it, and full of spinach, which I love, but the spinach wasn't really seasoned, so the whole thing was a bit bland. The brisket fries were really good. I barely ate half before I was full. The brisket itself was cooked well--soft and not cooked to death. The onions weren't fried, like the description online reads; they were more sautéed until soft. Not a complaint, it was still delicious, but not as advertised. There was the right amount of cheese, too--not overwhelmingly cheesy so it took over the whole thing. The meat and fries stood out as the star, as they should. Service was a bit slow for a pickup, imo. I went around 1:30 and there were customers in there, but the pickup line was empty so I went right to it. A couple workers walked past me a couple times before I got someone's attn to hand me my order, which was right on the counter.
