I’ve been a customer at Wagshal’s since my early days in DC, when Mr. and Mrs. Wagshal presided over the establishment. Wagshal’s is a beloved DC institution for good reason!
Wagshal’s stands out to me for its sandwiches, its holiday meal plates and its friendly, responsive service. Sandwiches are invariably well-made and delicious. We’ve also appreciated Wagshal’s holiday meal plates for 2-4 people. Deliveries are reliable.
I’m sad to say that, as of late 2023, Wagshal’s prices for many holiday meats, side dishes and baked goods have grown stratospheric. That is leading me to shop more establishments and purchase from Wagshal’s less frequently. It’s unfortunate if Wagshal’s pricing is discouraging purchases by the loyal customers who built its success over the years.
Omg!! Being from NJ and used to Harold's famous sandwiches I was skeptical at first about getting a Rueben sandwich. This place was close to AU dorms and I was craving a Rueben so I figured why not see what DC Rueben is like. When I say this did not disappoint I mean it. The sandwich was thick like me. Wasn't overpowered in dressing. It was just right. It was too big for me to finish so I only ate half the sandwich and put in the fridge for later. While I was waiting I looked around the market area which was cute. I picked up a crossiant and a slice of cake as well. I definitely recommend and will be visiting again.
Found this place on Thrillist magazine's top sandwich places in DC...and it is National Sandwich Day! The employees were super friendly and accommodating as I bounced throughout the store. When I order a complicated sandwich, the young lady simply said..."no problem Sir." The bologna sandwich was awesome! There are daily specials, and today's was chilli...top notch! I am not sure where others are experiencing poor service...the folks I came in contact with were true professionals. I cannot wait to visit again.
