Stopped by here to pick up breakfast on the go. Lots of great hot options made fresh when you order. Cute hole in the wall deli. Lots of drink and prepackaged snack options too. Service was quick and friendly. Would recommend! read more

I was slightly hesitant in trying out Eisenhower Deli due to its mixed reviews, but, after finding out that another breakfast/deli place was permanently closed, we decided to give this place a try. Besides breakfast plates, they also have lunch specials, sandwiches, and house specialties. They have daily/weekly 'specials' taped by the grill, so be sure to check those out. We ordered: +the Corned Beef Platter - opting for the addition of toast and eggs +the Steak & Cheese - just with grilled onions and mayo +and, The NY Avenue - with grilled pastrami, corned beef, and Swiss, topped with cole slaw, and Russian dressing, on rye bread The corned beef tasted a little off, as it was mostly potatoes, and it seemed like an off-brand of the breakfast favorite. The platter just didn't seem worth getting. The Steak & Cheese was pretty good, as the bread was fluffy and the steak and cheese were generous. The NY Avenue sandwich was less than mediocre; wasn't a fan of the use of 'deli meat slices' of the corned beef and pastrami. Staff were friendly, and they call you up when your order is ready. There is a good amount of seating inside, and most seem to get their items and coffee to go. Parking located in the front. +Steak & Cheese +friendly service +seating inside +parking available read more

This out-of-the-way deli caters blue-collar crowd, but seems a tad quieter than some other options. Food is very reasonably priced. I almost always get my food to-go, so no inside photos. The inside isn't fancy but apparently it was sufficient for some teleworkers to hang out and get their work done. read more

Eisenhower Deli - Cafes Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I ordered 2 items today. The egg sandwich was dry and they didn't cook the eggs as requested. The chicken breast club sandwich went straight in the garbage!! I specifically asked for no mayo, and I was given the wrong bread with tons of mayo on the sandwich, leaving it incredibly soggy. They also put the chicken on too hot, so the lettuce was completely wilted and oddly only on certain parts of the sandwich. The fries were also undercooked and inedible. Obviously, whoever put this order together, had no pride in their work of what they are serving. I'll never order from here again. read more

The breakfast menu is decent and the prices are reasonable. They give you a normal portion of good.

More of a carry out breakfast spot then a actual deli to me. Sandwiches are decent, service is quick and it's clean inside if you want to eat there. If your looking for real deal deli google the GW deli in foggy bottom. read more

Great service by staff and owner! Great breakfast! Really surprised, but would definitely recommend.

Waiting for my car to be repaired across the street, I stopped in for breakfast. I had the Egg Breakfast which comes with 2 eggs, meat of your choice, home fries, and toast. For health reasons I don't do breakfast meat, so they happily let me add a third egg. It was excellent. Home fries had onions. I loved it all. Wash it down with Coffee. Staff there is exceedingly friendly and accommodating. Prices were good too. read more

Was in neighborhood and decided to give it a shot. Was greeted by all three of the ladies working, very friendly. Decided on lunch special, Ham/Swiss with Coleslaw & Russian Dressing, came out to $6 bucks and change, for some reason expected fries, chips, maybe a pickle??? It was the lunch special, but it did not. So cost overall was bit more than expected. Asked for water, Cashier pointed to cups by soda machine, but said she would have to give me water from the kitchen sink, signs displayed showed 50 Cents for ice??? Skipped the H2O. Took sandwich to go, beautiful day outside, I will say the sandwich was delicious, loved the combination of flavors and enjoyed it immensely. My score is actually 3 1/2, based on sandwich but could not go higher due to overall value. read more

Eisenhower Deli - Sandwich was delicious, but for the price maybe some chips or a pickle ???- It was the Special of the Day - - Cafes Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

Was super hungry, didn't want fast food and no time for a restaurant. Found this spot on Yelp. Got an egg salad sandwich from the menu. It was pretty good. Definitely will stop by again when in the area. read more

Great deli. The crowd here is mostly blue collar workers such as UPS , Metro , Plumbers , Etc. Which is why you won't see a crowd sitting down. We just get something to eat while we are on the road. That being said don't expect fancy French toast or Pancakes. Any breakfast sandwich on a croissant is great. Make sure to ask for potatoes fried hard. read more

Good for quick home cooked breakfast, everything needs more salt/pepper though!!!!!!! read more

Got a Turkey club and fries and asked for ketchup for my fries why is there ketchup splattered all over my club sandwich. Why would they put ketchup on the sandwich. Now I'm sitting here hungry and will have to DRIVE on my lunch break to return the food and GET MY MONEY BACK!! Just to waste my gas, time and still sitting at work starving!!! NEVER AGAIN! ZERO STARS read more

Talk about a diamond in the ruff. My first Time here was a pleasant experience I had the royal steak and cheese sandwich. It was quite good the only issue is that it was a little bready. Fun fact: I learned from my Philadelphian co worker that a real steak and cheese has cheese whizz. Yea the stuff that comes out of the can ( I know right l). His exact words were "it's cheese from a can how can it not be good". The owner was a very nice Asian man. He also remembers every single patron that walks through his doors. He was surprised when I told him I had been working across the street for a couple months now and I hadn't stopped over. Don't worry that won't be a problem any more. They serve all the best you can imagine from the grill along with full breakfast options. Looks like I just found my new spot for pre work sustenance and maybe even post . read more

Eisenhower deli is absolutely the best kept secret in all of Alexandria. This wonderful restaurant has been around nearly 40 years and has delicious food.

Eisenhower Deli - the entrance to the restaurant - Cafes Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

This is a hidden little gem on Eisenhower, tucked in with office buildings. It may not look like much from the outside, but this quickstop is a powerhouse for made to order food. Fresh cooked breakfast and lunch sandwiches are their specialty. I'm a fan of the French toast with bacon, which is hard to beat at $5. They also offer omelets, and there is a daily Chinese lunch special. It's a convenient location for a quick stop off 495. You won't be sorry you tried it. During early morning commutes and lunch time, expect high volume. read more

Came here with a friend on a recommendation from him that this place has a must have grilled chicken sandwich. We pulled up and I was really surprised he found the place. The exterior doesn't have much except for an "open" sign and the name of the deli etched above the door. Also you couldn't see inside the place from the outside as the windows were completed tinted. We arrived a little after 2:30pm, so the place was empty when we walked in. There was a regular menu board on the wall behind the counter and a smaller one in front of the counter with some of the daily specials. The prices were fairly reasonable. We decided to stick to the plan and ordered the grilled chicken sandwich. The cook removes the marinated chicken from the refrigerator and places it on a flat top grill. Then she pairs it with any of the fresh ingredients you would like at no additional charge. I got my sandwich with sautéed onions, peppers and mushrooms with provolone cheese. After cooking for about 5-7 minutes, the chicken and veggies were removed and placed on a toasted potato bun with lettuce and tomatoes. I was handed my sandwich, wrapped in foil and ready to eat. The sandwich was delicious and way more than I expected. The chicken was tender, juicy, and seasoned perfectly. The sautéed veggies with provolone paired really well with the chicken and the soft bun. I got a bottle of hot sauce to add an extra bit of flavor to some bites and it was really a treat. The sandwich came out at just under $6 and was worth every penny. Highly recommend. read more

Good prices, easy to order, food is made fresh also. I asked for white bread but they have me wheat. I didn't complain, just ate it how it came and it was l pretty good. Home fries needed some salt n pepper but good nonetheless. Will come back to try lunch one day. read more

Eisenhower Deli - Best Blt ever ! avocado Turkey Bacon on Wheat - Cafes Near Me - Alexandria, Virginia

I can't say much for anything other than the couple of subs I've had, both times they have made me ill. Some italian type sub, that had what I could call mystery meat involved and the New York sub which had very dry, overcooked meats. My friend however seems to prefer them over our other local deli, although I can't figure out why, both times I have had food from this place, it has ended badly. read more

Great food at reasonable price. The staff there is consistently friendly and courteous. Small mom & pop shop. They make a point to remember their customers and greet them by name. The western omelette is great. Enough food for two meals (they're very generous). I agree with Jennifer G.'s review. This is definitely a hidden gem! read more

The cook that's not wear gloves but she touches every thing that she's cooking even eggs. SMDH

Eisenhower Deli is my go to place for breakfast because its so close to my office, at least once or twice a week. The food is decently priced and taste is good. The one problem I have with this place the head lady cook,I feel like my business is not wanted at this place and to be honest I probably will be taking it somewhere else. A place like this should be welcoming, not unwelcoming to paying customers. This morning I was in there having breakfast with a colleague and was completely ignored and she asked my colleague what I was going to have instead of asking me, and I was standing right in front of her. I don't understand why this lady has a problem with me, but a place that deals with so many people in a day and can me feel so uncomfortable doesn't deserve my business. The place is very convenient but not worth me being embarrassed in front of others. read more

Went here yesterday because it was nearby where I was staying. What a gem in the rough. I had the steak and cheese sandwich heated up. It was fantastic. It may be silly to say but it was the best steak and cheese I've ever had. And I travel all over the US for business every week. read more

I usually come here at least once or twice a week for either breakfast/lunch (the ladies behind the counter now know my order before I even say anything) and I have yet to be disappointed. For breakfast, the steak, egg & cheese is the go-to. For lunch, the chicken cheesesteak. Pricing is very affordable. Customer service has been consistently good. read more
