I’ve been a customer at Wagshal’s since my early days in DC, when Mr. and Mrs. Wagshal presided over the establishment. Wagshal’s is a beloved DC institution for good reason!
Wagshal’s stands out to me for its sandwiches, its holiday meal plates and its friendly, responsive service. Sandwiches are invariably well-made and delicious. We’ve also appreciated Wagshal’s holiday meal plates for 2-4 people. Deliveries are reliable.
I’m sad to say that, as of late 2023, Wagshal’s prices for many holiday meats, side dishes and baked goods have grown stratospheric. That is leading me to shop more establishments and purchase from Wagshal’s less frequently. It’s unfortunate if Wagshal’s pricing is discouraging purchases by the loyal customers who built its success over the years.
Omg!! Being from NJ and used to Harold's famous sandwiches I was skeptical at first about getting a Rueben sandwich. This place was close to AU dorms and I was craving a Rueben so I figured why not see what DC Rueben is like. When I say this did not disappoint I mean it. The sandwich was thick like me. Wasn't overpowered in dressing. It was just right. It was too big for me to finish so I only ate half the sandwich and put in the fridge for later. While I was waiting I looked around the market area which was cute. I picked up a crossiant and a slice of cake as well. I definitely recommend and will be visiting again.
Found this place on Thrillist magazine's top sandwich places in DC...and it is National Sandwich Day! The employees were super friendly and accommodating as I bounced throughout the store. When I order a complicated sandwich, the young lady simply said..."no problem Sir." The bologna sandwich was awesome! There are daily specials, and today's was chilli...top notch! I am not sure where others are experiencing poor service...the folks I came in contact with were true professionals. I cannot wait to visit again.
Wagshal's is a D.C. institution. It's been around for decades serving Washington, D.C. residents including several former U.S. presidents. It's since expanded to several locations and this one is in Spring Valley in Northwest D.C. close to the Maryland border. It's in an old strip mall and a stone's throw from Wagshal's Market.
This location is spacious and sells a variety of groceries from wine, grab-n-go items, bread, etc. They sell breakfast, lunch, and dinner items from a stand within the shop. In the mornings, they sell bagels, pastries, and coffee. I recommend their chocolate croissant.
I normally stop here when I’m handling business nearby. I’ve been a few times and never had an issue. I always order a cold sandwich.
My food is always fresh and taste pretty good. Most of the staff are very friendly. The prices are on the higher side but I guess it’s not horribly high.
Mr.Markus is ALWAYS helpful when I come to grab lunch. His customer service is superb ,and he doesn’t mind going the extra mile for you. He can turn your bad day into a great one with his amazing charm. He’s AMAZING!
Yo Real Talk this place is legit! I’ve been coming here on and off for the past 4 or 5 years and this guys are always on point. Today in particular I ordered a Ruben Pizza and a gyro sandwich, there both amazing but the pizza is spectacular, the only change I did on the pizza is instead of sauerkraut I had it replaced with coleslaw and it was Amazing!
Best deli/restaurant in DC!! The food is out of this world. I had my birthday brunch here with a group of 16 friends and the service/food couldn't be better. The back room was set up perfectly and our drinks were always full. The Manager, Joseph and Server, Sophie were amazing to work with and so helpful. If you are ever thinking about hosting a group brunch definitely check this place out! You won't be disappointed.
They make a tasty packed beef pie with a great crust.
One of the best fruit tarts I've had! With Berger cookies! The sandwiches looked amazing.
