Although the original chain of locations of the Woodside Deli closed its two other locations, and most recently after a 12-year in Rockville in 2019, the third location of the Woodside Deli in Germantown is still in business under different ownership. A staple in home style cooking since 1947, this location hasn't missed a beat. A bit worn around the edges, the restaurant and staff are still serving delicious meals- quickly. The deli offers a wide variety of selections and they serve it up quickly. Stop back in and enjoy a meal! read more

Service: Ordered breakfast this morning and the food was not as expected. From the start of making the order the customer service on the phone was very rushed and confusing. The girl on the phone seemed annoyed and did not explain things well, she was just very short and not friendly. Food: As for the food, we specifically asked for gravy with ham which she said is "sausage gravy" and we received the chipped beef which tastes like nothing, it's just gross slop. We also ordered an omelet which came with potatoes. Omelet was ok just needed salt and eggs were overcooked, potatoes were very salty. The only decent thing in our order was the pancake but still not the best. Super disappointed and very expensive, paid almost $60, what a waste of money. Never going back. Ambiance: We ordered to go, but the inside just looks like a diner. read more

I ordered corn beef on rye and matza ball soup.My friend ordered corn beef on rye and chicken soup. The owner looked at me and said " of course you're getting Matza ball soup.". what kind of comment is that? Haven't had to deal with such stereotypic racism in a long time. I would say their Matza ball soup was ok. If you want really good Matza ball soup, more authentic as well, go to the Double T diner In Annapolis. You won't be disappointed. read more

It's been awhile since we been here. The server was amazing. The sandwiches were loaded with the various meats. My only complaint is that for my Italian Cold Cut the meats were thick. I would have liked my meats a thinner cut. read more

Woodside Deli is a Germantown standard and just as delicious as ever. There are dozens of items on the menu and our party of six (including one child) were all able to find something we wanted to order. Service was wonderful. It was the middle of the afternoon so we weren't rushed. Looking forward to going back again! read more

Quick service, food was good as expected. My favorite is the smoked salmon and white fish platter. They give you a lot! I liked the the decor and the place was clean from what I saw. Love going to this place. I highly recommend. read more

Unfortunately this place has gone a bit downhill. I think the food is okay but the service was extremely slow even though we were one of 6 people in the restaurant. The ambiance has potential to be cute but is very dated. read more

I was glad to find out this Deli was still open in 2026 near my location. I had a late lunch on a Wednesday. A few other customers were in the restaurant while others came to get take out orders. My Reuben sandwhich, pickle, chips were good. The iced tea was very good. The service was super quick and waitress very attentive and friendly. The young man at the register and the official greeter spent time on his phone. He did clear a table but I hope he learns to find other helpful tasks to do and put down the phone. One task? wipe off the sugar, salt and pepper shakers. Mine were sticky. It was fun to look ate the nostalgic photos on the walls. All in all a pleasant experience. :) read more

Have seen this spot for a long time and finally got lunch here with my wife. I ordered a breakfast sandwich and she got the tuna salad sandwich. Both were solid, but her tuna sandwich was better since it had a good tang to it and was more filling. It was a lil pricey but with inflation, what can you do. The inside is a little dated but there is a certain charm to it. Our waitress was pretty nice, and the food came out relatively quickly. Plenty of parking outside too. read more

Choices are large and food was good overall. However for a takeout order I think they should have themselves added more napkins and ketchup and such with fries and onion rings, so that's my suggestion for improving the service. I cannot comment on ambiance since we just had a takeout order. read more

Woodside Deli - Pastrami sandwich (toasted rye bread). Comes with pickle and a bag of chips. - Delis Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

I ordered the beef brisket sandwich, and for $17, it was a complete rip-off. What I received was a plain sandwich on toasted sourdough that looked like something a teenager threw together, a small bag of Lay's chips, and a single pickle. For that price, I could have bought a whole POUND OF LUNCH BRISKET MEAT, a loaf of bread, and a jar of pickles AND A LRG BAG OF LAYS to feed myself for two days. The food had absolutely no flavor and was honestly disgusting. Save your money--the quality does not come close to matching the cost. and i do not know who home cooking they are referring to. read more

Food is decent but everything else has gone downhill in last few years. Used to be clean, well organized and attractive space. Now, it needs a good cleaning, new furniture, paint and menus. They used to have fresh desserts and deli meats in refrigerator cases and now these are empty. Boxes with paper products on top look cluttered. It's clear the owner has simply let things go since Covid. read more

They have been around for at 45 years from their old restaurant in Silver Spring. They carry a large menu to please everybody. The variety alone sells it for me. read more

Been a while and there have been some changes. The steak sandwich platter is gone as is are steak fries. The fries have been replaced with some kind of shoe string fries which were okay but just not the same. I had the cheese burger and it was very good. My wife had pastrami on rye which was very good. Ruth was our server, very kind and competent. She has been there 20+ years and was a welcomed sight. It fine dining but a good solid meal as always. read more

Woodside Deli - Cheeseburger platter - Delis Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

Great fries. They were extra crispy. Yum. I I'll go back to try other items on the menu.

This review is for the creamed chipped (alleged) beef. Flavorless mush. I got it on "buttermilk biscuits" which were not recognizable as such (assume this would apply to the sausage gravy). The topping had literally no taste other than less than mediocre white gravy. There was no beef taste in the gravy. I tasted the beef with a forkful of just beef-nothing. I could kick myself for being too lazy for the Dutch Market. Roy Rogers would have been way better. read more

My review is based on our take out experience. I haven't eaten "in" since prior to COVID, but I have done take out breakfasts 2 or 3 times the past year. They serve breakfast all day long, so you can do breakfast for dinner too. We ordered ham and cheese omelets with hash browns and rye toast. The other time we also added a side of bacon. Both times our orders were ready for pickup, when they said and they were accurate. The prices were on par with what I'd expect in the area for this type of meal. The food was good and what you'd expect from a diner. The not so great is their paper/cardboard containers they use to package the food. Mine sprung a hole before I finished eating. They get soggy really quickly when they get hot. I know Montgomery county is making businesses go paper over plastic, so I'm sure that's why. But these particular containers don't hold up well for take out. The staff on the phone was pleasant enough, but both my check out experiences weren't that friendly. Hey but our food was hot and tasted good and our orders were accurate. So I would go there for take out again. read more

This place is always a favorite for comfort food, and I have moved farther away, so I get there rarely. I met a friend for brunch today. I ordered the Lox Benedict. It is the kind of item you can't get just anywhere, and it was SO good. It comes with a side, so I ordered grits. A nice neighborhood stop for all your favorite foods, for breakfast and for the rest of the day. read more

Now I haven't been here for anything outside of lunch but the sandwich I got was so damn good lol. I got The Baby Jane and it was so nice and cheesy and salty due to the ham and bacon. It was also a hearty sandwich so I only ate half at a time. My husband wasn't happy with the portion of his steak and cheese but that is his business and he will need to post his own review lol. My best friend enjoyed the brunch so I plan to visit that in the near future. read more

Always a fan, day or night. The service, even when it's busy is friendly. Check out their daily specials for great food, good prices, and huge portions. The lox and bagel platter is enough to feed 2-3 people. Pancakes are light and fluffy and the bacon can come out floppy or crisp, that is how attentive they are! read more

They don't tell you that when you order a sandwich, the only items in the price shown are the bread, lettuce/tomato/pickles etc. BUT NO MEAT WHATSOEVER. So the base price is for bread & veggies. You pay extra for anything like bologna, salami, turkey or any protein whatsoever!! This raises the price several more dollars!! Nice people working there....but this policy & the absurd prices for a sandwich lost me as a customer (after 20 years). read more

Had the omelet and pancakes. Very good and would highly recommend this place for some good breakfast.

Well, it's been a year since my first review of this place; so we went back today. They serve breakfast until 11 AM, according to what I read on their menu. But hey, when I asked Eddie what happens if someone comes in at 11:30 for Breakfast he didn't hesitate to answer "We feed them!". Eddie did a phenomenal job keeping up with us, said he's been there for three years now. The place was packed to the gills. We love the eclectic decor - a popular adjective in interior design parlance, meaning a decor that comprises heterogeneous elements -- a mixture of textures, time periods, styles, trends, and colors. The walls are full of framed photos and advertisements from by-gone eras. The Menu - Just look at "IT" Wow! Too many choices will forever keep us coming back. We figured it was just a typo on the price for Scrapple, we were exactly right! My coffee with two over-easies, Homefries (extra crispy), Scrapple, Rye Toast, a side of Sausage Gravy with a nice Buttermilk Biscuit was simply Amm-azz-ing! I just could not finish my last bite - lol. The wife ordered their Italian Omelette, Hot Tea and Whole Wheat Toast. So good! read more

Not sure why it's taken so long to eat here for brunch - I've often heard good things about this place. The restaurant is quaint, with the buzzing of low conversation and attentive servers. Our server was super nice. They have a pretty big menu so you could be there for days if you don't decide on the type of meal you want (lunch, brunch, or breakfast). We had the Eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, and French toast. The eggs for the Benedict was a bit too runny but still good. Hollandaise wasn't too bad either. The home fries were well seasoned and a nice side to the Benedict. Loved the French toast - crispy on the outside and softer inside. Sadly i forgot the leftover French toast and didn't get to enjoy it later. The steak with the steak and eggs was a bit tough but not terrible. Coffee wasn't bad - better than some diners. There's actually a coffee menu with lattes that looks lovely. Will have to stop by one morning to grab some before work! The mimosa wasn't bad either. It's definitely a go to place for brunch that we'll return to. It has a nice environment, attentive servers, and good food. The menu is large so there are many more opportunities to try new items! read more

Woodside Deli - Eggs Benedict and home fries; French toast; steak and eggs; sausage - Delis Near Me - Germantown, Maryland

Great little deli. Has all the deli favorites and a couple of surprises. Portions are good, service is good, food is excellent.

Was here for breakfast. Omelette was good size and tasty. Home fries were also good. However, only 2 bagels to choose from, plain or everything. I choose Everything. Was tasteless and was absolutely grocery store variety bagel. Disappointing for a deli... The big ding, waitress asks would you like butter or cream cheese with the bagel. I said Cream cheese. The check comes at the end and I'm charged $1.05 extra for the cream cheese. REALLY sneaky and devious. Waitress never mentioned there is extra charge. Its ok, came right out of her tip. It was also kinda expensive for what we got, eggs...... read more

No one should ever eat here, ever. Absolutely deplorable and rude service from Amir and Phil. They got every item in our delivery order incorrect to the point where we couldn't eat it, because we don't eat pork. When we called, Amir was unengaged and completely lacking in any empathy or situational awareness. They he got his manager, Phil, and went straight to customer service Hell from there. His solution was to be rude to us, offer no resolution for havingade all of our food wrong, and to treat us like we committed the wrong towards them. He used such language as "I'm not talking to you right now," and "so what's the problem?" The problem is you are rude, unprofessional, don't take ownership of your operation, and harass and assault your customers. I've seen lying and cheating siblings treat each other with better respect than the two staff members we spoke to treated us. It is a crime that I even need to give them one star. They don't deserve it. They don't deserve their jobs and this restaurant doesn't deserve your patronage. read more

My fiancé and I were happy to get out for breakfast again after so long. Wood aide is basically our option in Germantown so we went there. Typically you can't go wrong with their breakfast food, however today was different. He ordered the eggs Benedict with salmon and I ordered the regular one. Both came out with the hollandaise sauce ice cold, like it just came from fridge. We told the waitress, she took them back, and obviously they just microwaved them because they came right back. Well they were luke warm now but the poached eggs were way over cooked. My fiancé sent his back for a new one. But once again the sauce was ice cold. He said forget it at this point and didn't want it. I also notice it was serviced with just regular ham and not Canadian bacon. I asked the waitress about that and she said that she didn't even know what Canadian bacon was, SMH. The owner was also not very helpful. Just kept giving excuses of why the sauce was cold and why they can't keep it warm because something will happen to the sauce itself. I'm sorry, no excuses to serve ice cold food! He kept saying he hears this from other customers too. Well then maybe you should fix the problem or stop serving it! It's a shame because I didn't eat mine and I was really craving eggs Benny. read more

This place has been a mainstay, but I think the ride is coming to an end. Went there for lunch today. Two of the refrigerator cases near the rear of the restaurant are empty with boxes of different things sitting on them. Very unappealing. The place needs a good cleaning. They used to have good food. I had by far the worst Rueben I've ever had anywhere. I only ate 1/2 of it. Meat was fatty and full of gristle. Sauerkraut was dry. Did not taste good. Likely our last trip there. read more

Horrible customer service! DO NOT order take-out from them. I ordered to go from them and was given the wrong order. When I called back to let them know they messed-uo my order, Amir was quick to tell me "no". Then when I preceeded to let them know they did mess-up, he grabbed someone else to take over the call (without informing me he was). The person who answered was supposedly the manager (Phil). He was quick to argue back as well. He didn't once recognize that they messed-up packing my order and was quick to tell me he can't help. When I proceeded to tell them they gave me meat I can't even eat (ham/pork), he again DID NOT offer any form of resolution or even a sincere apology. I told him my husband tried the piece of the meat & confirmed that it smells + tastes like ham. It is ham. He then had the audacity to tell me he would just not take my orders. I used to LOVE eating at Woodside Deli, and have been going to them for years. I will NOT be returning to them & make sure noone I know does. I would be embarrassed to recommend them & have them treated as poorly! read more

This place is worth trying a second time. We had breakfast and as we walked in the door we were greeted with a great big hello. We were seated promptly and the server came quickly to offer us drinks. The food was good as was the coffee. Our server came several times to check on us to see how we were doing and to refill our drinks. The hostess picked up our check. The food was good - fresh eggs, and all the fixings. I would like to come again and try their sandwiches. They were so friendly and welcoming and that makes a difference when you're spending your money. Check it out. read more

Very good for take-out food orders for sit-down. Tasty comfort food. Soups, sandwiches and chips. Have tried the Chicken Noodle Soup, Corned Beef and Pastrami sandwiches. Wish the soup contained more chicken and noodles instead of mostly veggies, too much carrots. Everything is pretty tasty, though. Seems like homestyle food. read more
