Mikey & Mel’s Deli in Downtown DC: Reuben Royalty


Nestled at 1828 L Street NW, Mikey & Mel’s Famous Deli delivers downtown DC’s most indulgent, old-school Reubens—stacked with house-cured meats, Swiss cheese, sauerkraut, Russian dressing, and perfectly grilled rye. It’s a serious homage to Jewish deli tradition—and a meat lover’s dream.
What sets our Reuben apart?
House-cured meats: Corned beef, pastrami, brisket, and turkey are made in‑house from scratch.
Portion power: Choose from monstrous quarter- or three-quarter-pound sizes—each sandwich is piled high and unapologetically heavy.
Pickle bar heaven: Top off your meal with a FREE PICKLE BAR!!! That’s right–bottomless pickles in ten varieties—from half-sours to pickled beets!
