    I stopped in for breakfast this morning, and--as always--it was amazing. It was pretty busy, so things were a bit slower than usual, but that's completely understandable and on us for not planning our timing better. The food and atmosphere were still fantastic. The only thing I'm disappointed about is the whitefish appetizer I ordered to go. For the last three visits, the portion has been much smaller than it used to be--surprisingly small. I should have checked it before leaving, but I didn't want to make a fuss. I really love this item and don't want to stop ordering it, so I hope the portions return to what they once were. Still, Parkway Deli remains one of my favorite spots, and I'll definitely be back.

    What an institution. For years, I've heard stories about this deli inside a strip mall just across the D.C.-Maryland border. On New Years Day, I popped in since it was open. There was a line to get into their restaurant. The deli counter was busy, but after ordering their famous Reuben sandwich with pastrami, I was eating within minutes. And wow- their Reuben was delicious. The rye bread got a little soggy due to the Russian dressing, but the flavors were well balanced. I'd go back for sure!

    Great neighborhood spot. Everything is amazing!!

    Parkway is an institution. I've brunched and carried out from this place for decades. My experience yesterday left a lot to be desired. The food was great (French toast and eggs-- I ordered bacon but that never came), but the server seemed irritated and made the experience unpleasant. I hope to never be in his section again.

    I read somewhere this place has the best pastrami in MD so we decided to make a trip out of it Let me tell you it was worth the drive. I got the Delight and hubs the Rueben. They were similar except mine had coleslaw instead of kraut and Munster instead of Swiss. Loved them both but I think the Ruben was the winner. Enjoyed the pickle bar with the beets and half sours. Had a black and white on the way out. Oh yeah tried the chicken matzo ball soup. 1st timer and I thought it was really good. We moved from west coast this year and this place just oozes east coast vibes. I love this place I'll def be back. Only bummer was we ordered fries with the Ruben and they never came. Didn't matter tho we were stuffed.

    I've tried their Pastrami and Corned Beef Reuben sandwich and onion rings. Their food is good- cooked well, mild, and overall flavorful. I especially enjoyed their onion rings - as a big fan, it's hard to find good onion rings these days!! The space is surprisingly deep and expansive, old-fashioned, and the customer service is great. Parking is overall easy, but there can be a lot of traffic depending on the time of day. I'd recommend!

    There aren't a lot of old school delis in the DMV so Parkway gets deserved love. And the pickle bar is cool! The nova lox platter was good and reasonably priced. The matzoh ball soup with chicken is very good and full of flavor!

    Parkway Deli and Restaurant crafts the finest deli food in town. We had a large group meet there over the weekend. They were so friendly and the service was awesome. Our group hadn't seen each other in a while and our waitress was so kind. She had to come back several times before we were ready to order. She stayed so pleasant and got all of our orders correct. I ordered the nova lox platter. It was filled with hand cut nova lox, that was delicious. There was cream cheese, capers, tomatoes, onion, olives, and lettuce. I was in heaven. My friends all ordered omelettes. They loved them. Before, I left I ordered corned beef, turkey, and two kinds of cookies. Everything was perfect. I had sandwiches for days and the cookies passed my granddaughters taste test. They were mouthwatering and delicious. Everything was reasonably priced and it was phenomal. Parkway Deli and restaurant sets the standard for what a deli should be. I wholeheartedly recommend them.

    Vegi omelette with hash browns. Side of salsa (spicy!). Was so filling, brought half of the omelette, potatoes and bagel home.

    Have been here a number of times after church for brunch. Have had their terrific deli sandwiches and very good matzo ball soup. The portions are large and often I will pack some up for same-day dinner. Lately, we've been having breakfast - specifically the vegi omelet ($13.49). What's there to say about a vegi omelet? It's egg with vegi inside - right? For some reason, the omelet here is outstanding. The egg is cooked well and is stuffed with peppers, onion, mushroom and tomatoes. Like - stuffed. And you get a choice of cheese. I got the pepper jack and my partner got the Swiss. The pepper jack is spicy and delicious. The home fries are perfect every time and the choice of bread includes a bagel and cream cheese. I got the onion bagel - the bagel is large and well done with a good sized serving of cream cheese. On top of everything, there's a complimentary pickle bar, with dill, half-sour, sweet and sour pickles, sauerkraut and pickled beets. In the past, the beets were dried out but the last two times we were here, the beets were moist and fresh and delicious. I recommend this place. It's normally crowded, but worth the wait. Only downside is that, depending on where you are seated, it can be crazy loud. The center restaurant area is fine, but if you are seated in the smaller area to the left, be prepared for noise from your neighbors if it's crowded.

    Spicy cauliflower wrap and sweet potato fries
    Lauren S.

    Amazing and fast service. Was starving for a quick dinner and ordered the daily special, the spicy cauliflower wrap. It was delicious with crispy fried cauliflower, jalapeño, avocado, and tomato. I'm not vegetarian or vegan and this was incredible. Glad I found this spot!

    Pastrami Sandwich Hash Browns
    Tony J.

    Normally a great place with great service but this trip was a bit lackluster. The service was slow and spotty. For food was inconsistent. Ordered a Greek salad w chicken that seemed undercooked, French toast which was undercooked , pastrami sandwich that came w un toasted bread though toasted bread was requested. Hopefully this was an anomaly but it was disappointing. Was a beautiful day outside on their patio. Great sunny patio w overhead tent and spacious tables

I got to our table a few minutes after my friends had already been seated and ordered drinks, which was fine. However, we then proceeded to wait at least 15 minutes before the waiter came back to get our orders. Since we seemed to be of no urgency to our waiter I decided to go to the restroom which I definitely would've thought otherwise if I hadn't had to really go. Holes in the wall, toilet paper on the floor, liquids on the toilet seat, and a bottle of soap with no soap. Not at all what I expect in an establishment serving food with their employees using the same restrooms. We finally got our order placed after having to grab another server to flag down our waiter. One of my friends and I ordered pancakes and french toast so of course syrup would be a nice addition but was not provided. And it seemed as though every waiter tried their best to not make eye contact with us so we could ask for some syrup. I was able to grab us two sticky bottles of syrup from an employee tending the bar. And our waiter seemed to be missing in action after our food was delivered. Now I will say we all thought our meals were good, which at least was a plus. The Breakfast Club adds on an 18% gratuity to all checks with 6 people or less and 20% for more than 6, which I personally believe is why the service is so lackluster. Given the poor service and lack of cleanliness, unfortunately it doesn't matter how good the food may taste I personally don't think I would suggest The Breakfast Club for a dining experience or return for another visit myself.

When I tried to ask a follow-up question, I was told he was on another line -- and then he abruptly hung up. If reservations aren't accepted, I'm not sure why a potential guest would be rushed off the phone instead of being welcomed or given basic information. First impressions matter, and this experience felt dismissive and unnecessarily rude. Because of this interaction alone, I've decided not to visit this location. I hope management takes customer service more seriously, especially for people reaching out for the first time.
