At Stachowski's, the hot pastrami sandwich reigns supreme, boasting tender, flavorful meat piled high on perfectly toasted bread, making every bite extraordinary.
"The too-tall sandwiches (from grinders to pastrami) and sausages at this local butcher shop are legendary. Dinner special options range from paella to burgers to stuffed quail." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick, Emily Venezky
"Stachowski’s is your best bet for a meal on the go in this neighborhood. This corner market/butcher shop serves huge, meat-heavy sandwiches, as well as dinner specials like roast chicken and pork schnitzel. Our go-to order is the four-meat grinder—essentially the stretch Hummer limo of Italian subs. It’s obnoxiously large, but when you want it, nothing else will do." - joe brantlinger, tristiana hinton, omnia saed
"Martell leads the way to Stachowski Meats & Deli, and upon walking in the door, Rosenthal says he’s “looking for the prince of protein” for the “best” pastrami sandwich around. There they find Jamie Stachowski behind the counter, who scribbles their order by hand (Martell assures the host that one sandwich is enough to split). While slicing the heavily smoked meat himself in the kitchen, Stachowski says the hefty handheld isn’t sized for TV and really is that big all the time. Rosenthal takes a huge bite, happily letting deli mustard and pastrami juices drip down his chin." - Tierney Plumb
"Around since 2011, Georgetown’s beloved butcher has a devoted neighborhood following for its hot pastrami, roast beef on rye, and meatball grinders. Its half-smokes and bratwurst are also featured on the menu at at Solace Brewing’s Navy Yard tap room." - Tierney Plumb, Missy Frederick
"This butcher shop tucked away on a residential street in Georgetown is popular for its humongous sandwiches. While the pastrami and the “4 meat grinder” are the most popular, there’s also a half-smoke with onions and mustard." - Eater Staff
