Attman's Potomac Deli

Stopped by with my wife, son , daughter in law, grandson , daughter and son in law. Yall nailed it, we had 3, regular reubens, (obviously), pastrami club, ham and turkey club. Everything was on point ,pickle bar was delicious, probably the best reuben I've had since I used to make them. Ana was efficient. Big plus was the free underground parking, cause parking around the restaurant sucks.

A NYC food critic via a WP host came to the DMV to find the best pastrami sandwich. They found it here. I had it of course and it is really outstanding. Huge deli menu including breakfast. Service was quick and friendly.

Was craving a chicken Caesar wrap and based on a review saying they’re “out of this world” decided to try it. At 14.99 for chicken and lettuce, I was trying to be optimistic. That’s probably where I went wrong. While they ask what type of wrap you want (I asked for spinach) they will just give you whatever they have. Also there is allegedly Caesar dressing on the wrap, but as you can see from the picture the “dressing” must still be in the closet searching for an outfit because it was not on the wrap. The only reason it didn’t get 1 star is because it comes with chips and a pickle. No croutons, no dressing, no bueno. I live in the same shopping center as attman’s and have been disappointed more often than not since they moved here.

The menu is huge and can be a bit overwhelming for a first timer, but once you spend some time with it, you find all the Jewish deli staples. Not living near a true Jewish deli, I ordered nostalgically for those things that I grew up on. The three of us split matzoh ball soup, potato knish, kishka, and blintzes (one cheese and one blueberry). We also split a corned beef sandwich and 1/2 of a turkey pastrami sandwich (both on rye); the sandwiches came with a LARGE portion of potato chips. The kishka and blintzes were excellent and brought back fond memories of our childhood. The potato knish and the sandwiches were very good. The disappointment of the meal was the matzo ball soup which lacked depth and flavor. It was definitely under-salted (but that is somewhat understandable), however

It's a deli that wants to be a Jewish deli, and it falls a bit short. While the portions are ok, the prices average, the food was not good. I had the omelet with hash browns and bagel. Also, made a visit to the pickle bar. The hash browns were probably the worse I have ever had: soggy and odd tasting. The "pickle bar?" A sorry excuse for one, basically just pickled cucumbers. The service was ok, until we finished our food; they couldn't wait for us to leave and used every trick to show us that. No need to say that the hard wooden chairs are not conducive to a long stay. To sum it up: it was ok, we will never go back.
