Matt: best place downtown for lunch. always packed. anything is good. turkey with russian, chicken breast, and egg salad are my personal favorites. iced tea to drink. killer.

Jon Hussey: The Nobadeer and the Surfside are awesome. All sandwiches are probably amazing, but these two are so good that I've never gotten anything else.

Annie Lynsen: Go to Jetties and try the Nobadeer sandwich - it is phenomenal!

Tim Shea: the surfside is the only true choice - get it with onions!

Megan Santos: Great place for a cheap breakfast sandwich and coffee. They serve different flavors of Seattle's best coffee. They also have about five, two-seater tables inside by the front window.

Shantee Haynes REALTOR®: Great selection of Seattle's Best

Justin Thorp: Good place to get a bagel in the morning.

Bikabout: Summerhouse is the best kept secret within steps of the U.S. Capitol. Olmsted's grotto features water fountains and cool shade for hot summer days. Travel guide - www.bikabout.com/washington-dc

Aaron Hemgesberg: No outlets or wifi.

Xuan: Tranquility amidst political insanity.

MM: The Wall Street with pastrami and roast beef and Russian dressing is sweet and delicious! Loeb's Special with hot corned beef and kraut is tasty too. Potato cakes had lots of flavor on their own. $30

Behrad Eats: Among other great things, this DC institution makes a great Italian sub!

Charles Williams: The corned beef in the corned beef hash is fresh.

Katarina C: The chicken chipotle burger is delicious (and 4.99 - cant beat that!). On Friday afternoons they have wine and cheese samples too.

Washington Post: Get the brisket. “The pastrami’s flesh is dark and has a distinctive dark black line of crust around it that none of the other pastramis here do.” Read more.

Behrad Eats: They call their brisket sandwich famous for a reason, the meat just melts in your mouth with every bite.

Marissa E: The macaroni and cheese is AMAZING. Ask for them to put extra cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese and cilantro on top. AMAZING. Could eat it everyday!

Line Storgaard-Conley: Get there at 11:45 to beat the lunch rush.

Capital Spice: Great lunch spot if you work near one. Love their sandwiches and the soups are delicious. But pricey! You end up paying a lot just for a sandwich and drink.
