Brooklyn's Deli - Potomac

**Restaurant Review** I recently had a meal at this establishment, which included both an average and an excellent experience, leading me to settle on a 4-star rating. **Average Meal:** During my visit on a Sunday night, I noticed that the young staff behind the counter lacked experience. I ordered a take-out pastrami sandwich that, at $14.00, had disappointingly little pastrami. Additionally, no condiments (like ketchup or salt) were provided, which was a letdown, especially considering their otherwise impressive French fries. The corned beef in the generously-sized Reuben sandwich was quite fatty. While we hadn’t specifically requested lean meat, it’s worth suggesting that they indicate available condiments and ensure that orders are complete before they are handed over. **Excellent Meal:** In contrast, I later enjoyed a fantastic portion of tongue and a delicious Reuben sandwich, both made with high-quality ingredients and generously filled with meat. The side of coleslaw was very good as well. The sandwiches came with pickles on the side, adding a nice touch. Overall, this is satisfying and well-managed Jewish deli food. **Setting:** The outdoor terrace provides a pleasant dining atmosphere, featuring socially distant tables and reliable table service, which deserves a 5-star rating. **Summary:** This deli offers good traditional Jewish food. On days when it’s “on,” the food in Brooklyn can be exceptional. The outdoor terrace serves as a lovely and safe space to enjoy your deli favorites. To ensure a high-quality experience, especially with takeout or delivery, I recommend paying an extra dollar for lean meat, specifying your condiment preferences, and double-checking your order before leaving to make sure everything is included.

If it's your first visit, I suggest starting with a half sandwich and some fries, especially if you’re not too hungry. If you are feeling famished, you could easily tackle four chili half smokes! This restaurant is usually bustling, so be prepared for that. The lady who manages the seating does an excellent job and is always friendly. Don't hesitate to ask any questions; the staff here is incredibly helpful and kind. Stop reading this review and head over to this place now! Trust me, you'll absolutely love it!

Brooklyn Deli serves enormous sandwiches. I usually order half-sized sandwiches and still find myself unable to finish. Alternatively, I get the full size and take half of it home. The staff is always exceptionally friendly. I really enjoy their fresh dill pickles, but you need to remember to ask for them!

Delicious! Just what a Long Island girl is looking for in a Deli! I had several breakfast sandwiches on Kaiser reels that remind me of home, but I just tried their pastrami sandwich and it was AMAZING. I have replaced the Esther 's Delight Sandwich (see picture) and the Pumpernickel bread for sourdough. It was exactly what I wanted! I recommend this restaurant/deli!

Amazing service. Great portions and food came out fast. Loved the Ruben!
