Best deli in Tysons, Virginia (VA) 2025

Found this place on Yelp today while waiting for my Dad's car to be ready and it surpassed my expectations. The lady operating the cashier (and maybe the owner/GM?) had an air about her that was infectiously positive. Maybe it was the fact that she sang every word in response to our order (she also has a great voice, which def helps; if I sang at work I think the public response would be altogether different) or her attentiveness to every group of customers in (and seated outside on the patio) of her cafe. But in any event, it was a nice refrain from a regular, low energy interaction you typically have at a lunch spot. We ordered the Chicken Philly and the Chicken Salad Sandwich (today's special) on rye. My chicken Philly was well cooked and seasoned and accompanied by delicious and fresh tomatoes, lettuce, and onions. The chicken salad was fresh and sandwiched between two perfectly toasted pieces of the bread. If I had a complaint, it would be that the bread was a bit soft (for a hoagie, I prefer a hard roll). The Chicken Philly was so good I ordered a Korean Chicken sandwich and fries just to try another dish. The chicken was perfectly seasoned/breaded - so crispy on the outside but juicy and tender on the inside - and topped with a Korean slaw and sweet Korean sauce. I liked the Chicken Philly better but both were delicious and would be a welcome lunch order on most days. I look forward to returning to try more of the menu and to maybe join in on the singing this time! Parking: Plenty of parking out front, designated for the 'Deli' ~Patrick
