This place is like coming home because of fond memories here. My family would come to the area for fresh chickens and fresh meat. This area was one of the top places in Baltimore to get fresh items. But things do change. I was last here with my mother in 1998 for the corn beef and it still taste the same. I had today the corn beef and the roast beef. The corn beef was made to order that was with rye bread and mustard. This is the way my dad likes his and I am a traditionalist. The sandwich was warm and tasty from the first to the last. The sandwich is big enough for two but hey this is just too good to share. Get your own! The roast beef was also good and tender. Delicious. I had this the same way as above. Not too fatty. Some places give you a lot fat with it but this was spot on. Also big enough for two and no sharing allowed. The place is not too far from the inner harbor and parking can be a bear. Their is parking in the rear but it can be tight as well. Inside you will have a line ahead of you. The staff seem to know everyone and since the food is good, a lot of frequent flyers. They are very knowledgeable and will help you with ordering. They do have a small area to sit down and eat. They are very busy so it is best to order ahead. Finally, I saved the best for last. The classic dill pickle. When I was a kid this was the best part of the meal. Yes. my desert. The pickle was delicious, crisp with the right amount of spice and sourness. Just a thing of beauty. Still taste the same too. This place is an institution a love letter from a time gone bye. This place is highly recommended. Cheers! read more

Expected a good pastrami sandwich and it was the best ever. But, the real star of this deli was the people. They were all crazy nice and helpful. As a first timer, I had several questions and showed remarkable patience. Decontructed my sandwich when I told them it would be several hours before I could eat it. Went to the Lombard location, but imagine other locations are the same. Wish I lived closer. Go there just to see how it's supposed to be done. Thank You read more

A true Jewish deli with great staff and delicious food! The deli sits by itself tucked away from the main city area but worth a visit! We went around 12:45 on a Sunday afternoon and it was not super crowded but there was definitely a line. I have heard this place can get very packed so be warned! The line moves quick though. They have a large selection of sandwiches and other sides, desserts and hot dogs! We got the sandwich special (w/ latkes) and the Nosh Sandwich with a side of coddies and onion rings. In terms of the food, the portions are GENEROUS! The onion rings were also a plus, nice thick pieces and super crunchy! The coddies on the other hand, I will never get those again. The texture was almost like you were biting into a soggy piece of bread and no cod flavor whatsoever. The sandwiches were delicious on a nice piece of rye bread and a heaping handful of meats on each sandwich. I would recommend eating there as it will taste better fresh. There is plenty of street parking available and seats inside. read more

It's a Baltimore classic! Family owned and operated for generations. The food is wonderful and plenty of parking.

Mmmm, love a good deli! Found this place by chance and it was quiet when we walked in. Apparently that's abnormal because every person who walked in after us commented on how they have never been there before without a line. Seems like it's for a good reason too. We kept our sandwiches simple with roast beef and turkey. Super yummy and a generous helping of meat. The real star here is the pastrami. The owner (I assume), gave us each a sample and it melted in my mouth! Will be ordering that sandwich next time we go instead. The deli counter is long and there is a section to sit at to the left when you walk in. Classic and delcious! read more

This is the best deli in the Maryland DC Virginia area. Their food is beyond delicious and every time we go there there's a bit of a line which tells you how much it is loved.

We used to go to Attman's Deli all the time. The food used to be great and the portions used to be generous. The last few times we've been there, I have no idea what's happened to the quality of their food. They barely put any corned beef on their sandwiches these days. I purchased six sandwiches today and they skimped on the meat on all six. I called the restaurant and spoke with a "Steve", allegedly a manager. I tried to explain the situation to him, and he swore that he personally cut six ounces of meat for each sandwich himself, and refused to listen to reason. He wasn't even the person that made my sandwiches so how would he know how my sandwiches looked. You be the judge yourself. I think I need to find a different corned beef spot moving forward. I'm not wasting my hard-earned money at a place that doesn't care about customer service or satisfaction, or the quality of their food. "Corned Beef Row" should just be called "Row". read more

It has been some time since I have popped in here for a Reuben. The line is always long during the lunch hour, but the sandwiches here are worth it. I ordered the Reuben for me and corned beef with Swiss for hubby, plus grabbed drinks, chips, onion pickle and and dill pickle. They treat every customer like family, and it is always good to see familiar faces. Sorry I did not photograph my meal, but trust me, the sandwiches are worth getting from here! #bmoresbestcornedbeef read more

Every time I visit Attman's I always wish they were closer and ask myself why don't I visit more often? This time was no different. The trick is to get there before lunch (11,11:30). I don't order the sandwiches with all of the different toppings, interesting names, etc. although I'm sure they are really good. Just give me a hot and tasty corned beef (not the lean cause some fat equals better taste) and Pastrami sandwiches. No mustard please. These amazing house-made delicacies need nothing but the rye bread they sit on. Sandwiches are big enough for two to share. Also get some of the Corned beef and Pastrami sliced to go so the sandwich heaven experience can continue for the next few days. The servers behind the counter are mostly friendly and always going to give you their best slicing your deli selection, making your sandwich, etc. so generous tipping is encouraged. A true gem that's been around for over 100 years. Can we get one closer please?! read more

This place is absolutely wonderful! I have been supporting this business for over 20 years! Yes, 20 years! In the past I've worked nearby so I was always able to go in restaurant and scoop a sandwich or 2. Welp, on this day I was at work not too far and had to have a Corned Beef Sandwich. I located a 3rd party food delivery company and ordered my World's Famous Corned Beef Sandwich. Ahhhmazing as remembered!! My sandwich was large meaty, well stacked and warm when I received it. If you haven't already, treat yourself. You will not be disappointed. read more

I've lived in Baltimore over 10 years and never visited this establishment, though I know it's a staple. I've driven past a million times and have seen super long lines (even before Covid and 6ft between people), so I figured the food was fuego. So, I finally went yesterday. When my friend and I arrived there was a line about 8 people long. We headed to the end and slowly advanced forward over the course of 20 minutes. Once we were granted entry, I took in the space. It definitely looks old in there (but clean), and a whole side of the place is a deli counter. Placing our orders was a trial, due to masks and the thick glass separating the food prep from us. Communication is a serious issue. I swear, it took me 10 minutes to complete the order. Then strangely people who came in after us had their sandwiches prepared faster and were checking out before us, it was a weird setup. Anyway, we finally get our food, and we were actually allowed to eat in the small, attached eating area since there were only 3 other people in there. We sat down to eat and I stared at my brisket sandwich and was pretty underwhelmed. It looked like something I could have made at home. Upon closer inspection, I realized it was made with wheat bread, when I asked for rye. Very disappointing. The sandwich did taste good, I won't take that away from it, but it was very basic. They charge for every topping they put on it, so you'd think it would be more impressive. We also had fries which were just ok. That said, the staff was very nice and everything was clean and orderly. I think this was a one and done for me though. I came, I saw, I ate a sandwich. The end. read more

Attman's probably makes the best sandwiches my wife and I have ever had. I even only ate kosher meat much of my life until recently and the meat (not certified kosher) beats anything I've had anywhere. Our best friend frequented Attman's with his family when he lived with them in Elicott City over a decade ago. During the summer of 2020 my wife and him picked up both Eileen the Queen and Lombard Street sandwiches for us and he got a corner beef sandwich for himself before they picked me up from BWI. The sandwiches stayed hot and fresh even over an hour later when we could eat them at home. I finally got to go inside with them and two other friends two weekends ago before the Orioles game. We put our sandwiches, the same as we ordered in 2020, in gallon sized ziplock bags as required by Camden Yards for bringing in food and they were equally amazing then. They even had a location in Baltimore's finest ballpark for a bit before the pandemic but I don't think it lasted long but the original location here is a quick drive. Although this is a Jewish owned Kosher Style deli all sorts of Baltimore locals lined up to the back of the store to get food. It nice to see that they continue to thrive with their history over a century old back when my Jewish great grandparents started to immigrate from Europe to America. Their Potomac location is great as well and has a larger beer selection but the quality of the food is even better at their original Corned Beef Row location. We look forward to returning in the future when we go up to Baltimore. read more

My fiancé has been raving about Attman's, saying that they have the best deli sandwiches in Baltimore. Since we were growing tired of Thanksgiving food, we took a trip to Attman's on Friday. I must admit, he may be right. I ordered the Chelsea Club with a fat juicy pickle, my son the Shrimp Salad sandwich and the fiancé got the Hot Corned Beef and Swiss. Each in every sandwich came stuffed to the max with meat, light on the lettuce, tomatoes and cheese. I was surprised at the portions they sell you for the price. Each sandwich tasted amazing. The deli meat stuffed into every sandwich was so tasty and the bread was fresh. I couldn't even finish my entire sandwich. But I was definitely happy to dig into the last two triangles later that night. read more

Old school Jewish deli with no nonsense counter service, love it. The old timer interior decorations reflect that attitude. You better be ready to order when it is your turn. Mrs and I decided to keep it simple for our lunch, so that we could appreciate the smoked meat. Mrs went with corned beef, Swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on rye. I went with a pastrami with yellow mustard on rye. Both sandwiches were overflowing with meat. The meat was tender and full of flavor. Prices were affordable, cheaper than what we paid in Houston. The only suggestion we had was to use thicker sliced bread. We can't wait to return. The line was long when we arrived and even longer when we left. Street parking only. read more

Spicy Mustard is amazing, can't get enough and the rye bread is oh so soft and fresh. Just a joy to eat and kibbitz, enjoy the photos chronicling b'more Jewish history as well as the Attmans themselves. Love coming to this place. Their coconut cake is also yummy!

Not much to this place. Typical old school Jewish deli serving up giant sandwiches. Been to half a dozen of these in various cities and this one isn't any better or worse. This place was pretty empty which is unusual for these types of places. This was my first time there and the menu is large spread across the entire restaurant on the wall. It wasn't clear where to order, at the front near the register or further toward the back. I wondered toward the back before someone who could barely see over the counter asked me for my order. He wasn't sure what I ordered and had to look at the menu himself then ended up asking someone else what it was. Didn't bother to write it down as I wanted multiple things. Before I could even finish he started making the sandwich which I wanted to modify slightly. It made the whole ordering process very complicated. The sandwich was somewhat bland and not special but good nonetheless. I got roast beef and turkey. Easy to screw up but hard to make it more than it was. Hefty sandwich for an even heftier price tag. Probably not worth the price but if you've never been it probably worth at least trying once. Western fries were bland potato wedges which really no flavor or seasoning. They were precooked sitting under a warmer so not made to order. They didn't offer any condiments and when I got to my hotel I noticed there weren't any in the bag either. So all I had to judge them on was how they pulled them out of the warming basket. Would not recommend these. For this place to be in business 100 years they have to be doing something right. I'm not a fan of pastrami or corned beef which is more or less what they are known for and clearly their specialty. But I do enjoy trying these places. I would have expected this place to be busier than it was as the others I've been to (slymanns) always has a line out the door. I can't say whether this place is still what it used to be but my experience on my first visit was luke warm at best. Glad I tried it but I doubt I'd be back. read more

TLDR: NYC quality Jewish Deli with Baltimore heritage. Gets very busy, but lines move quickly. Come for anything with pastrami on it. Vibe: 4/5. Attman's is a Baltimore landmark, serving up sandwiches from the same location for over 100 years which can be seen in this time capsule deli. The neighborhood surrounding the store has dramatically changed over the years, leaving it in a less than desirable part of town, but it's well worth the pilgrimage. Silver lining to the area is that parking is mostly free and easily obtained. The old-school interior of the deli includes a counter that spans almost the entire length of the restaurant with the menu clearly laid out on the wall behind it. In the adjacent space to the left of the counter is a large dining room, complete with autographed pictures of celebrities who have patronized Attman's over the years. The ordering system is pretty simple, you stand in line at the counter until a staff member takes your order, you pay at the register near the door and then you can either dine in or take it to go. Be warned, during peak lunch hours this place gets super crowded, with sometimes a line wrapping around the block. However, the staff is efficient at what they do and can get through a long line in no time. Service: 5/5: During our visit for Sunday lunch, the entire staff at Attman's was not only welcoming, but proficient at getting us our delicious meal in a timely manner. Upon entering the deli at 1:30pm, the line had queued all the way to the back of the restaurant. To our surprise, the staff was able to move through the line in less than 10 minutes. Then once our order was taken, it only took another 10 minutes until we were chowing down. This is the kind of turn around time you come to expect from a tenured deli at lunch rush. Food: 5/5. There's a reason Attman's has been slinging sandwiches since 1915, the unrivaled portions and taste. During our visit, we decided to get the Attman's Specialty Reuben, Nosh On Rye, 2 coddies and an order of onion rings for dine in. Touted as a Baltimore favorite, the specialty Reuben was piled high with warm pastrami, sauerkraut, Russian dressing and swiss between 2 homemade potato Latke pancakes. Though delicious, it was a bit unwieldy to handle while eating. The latkes didn't add much to the already flavorful combination of pastrami, sauerkraut and dressing so it just became more of a logistical burden. The Nosh on Rye took home best in show at lunch, bringing everything I wanted from a sandwich to the table. We opted to substitute the corned beef for pastrami on our Nosh which is a highly recommended move. The sandwich is served club style with 3 pieces of rye bread, 1 piece separating the pastrami and brisket. The succulent pastrami paired perfectly with the beefiness of the brisket. Along with the piles of meat, the sandwich also comes garnished with homemade coleslaw and Swiss which added both a pleasant textural crunch and creaminess to each bite. The onion rings were also a great addition to the meal, offering a nice crunchy change in texture between sandwich bites. Unfortunately, the biggest upset of our lunch came from the coddies. Traditional Baltimore coddies are typically fried pattys of salted cod, mashed potatoes and parsley. At Attman's, it appears they are using more of a stuffing based filling (think Stovetop stuffing) with barely any cod flavor. These are unlike any coddie I have had in my lifetime and personally, they weren't for me. read more

Im not here to rain on anybodys parade but I was not impressed with the corned beef sandwich I got. Across the street was Jacks, line out the door back in the day, hot corned beef pulled out of hot water sliced up fresh and hot in front of you. Needless to say it was thick cut and juicy and nobody bothered to weigh each pile of meat, no time for that, piled high. You could ask for the lumber jack if you wanted an extra large size. Next was the deli hot dog area to get a deliscious fried baloney on your deli hot dog. Yes I realize the day of a criwd gatherd in a long line out the door kind of demand, but the cold corned beef scaled then heated by microwave I got at Attmans doesn't cut it. Can you imagine going to Katz Deli in NY and they did that? That would be the end of them! read more

Amazing. You can't go wrong coming here. I normally get the Ruben & my husband gets Sarah's dagger. When I'm in the mood for something simple a corned beef or pastrami sandwich with mustard hits the spot. Their meats are super flavorful and tender. Service is slow, so not ideal if your in a hurry, but if you have the time you must give this place a try. There's a reason they been here for years. Delicious, you won't be disappointed. read more

Very nice, old-style New York Jewish deli just east of downtown. I had heard great things about this deli, especially since it has been at this location for so long. The first thing I noticed was that the line was long. At least 25 people in this small location. It took me about 20 minutes to get to the counter to order. I ordered the Club Chelsea on wheat and one of the Jumbo Kosher DIll Pickles. After ordering, I waited another 10 minutes or so. The staff was mostly indifferent to me. No smile. No friendly chat. Nothing but business. I'll chalk that up the how busy they were, this time. Now for the food...Excellent! My sandwich was fresh and delicious, as was the pickle. Worth the wait. Overall, I enjoyed the meal and didn't really mind the wait. However, they could be a little friendlier to their customers and the price was higher than normal. Over $20 for my club and pickle. For those reasons, I dropped to 4 stars. read more

Of the few delis in this area, Attman's is the only one with a line consistently out the door. It was only a matter of time before I stopped by. The day I went, people weren't yet waiting outside but the line was already to the rear of the building. So glad I looked at a menu before coming because when it's your turn, you better be ready. The staff taking and making orders were friendly and fast. The line was only backed up because so many people were getting multiple sandwiches. I got the Billy Reuben which has all the standard ingredients but instead of beef, it's turkey. Sandwich was ready just a few minutes after I ordered and I wasn't disappointed. Piled high and yummy. Can't wait to go back just have to time it perfectly to reduce my wait. read more
