Our customers’ reviews

This is a meat lovers paradise. The roast beef sandwiches were amazing! The rolls are fresh (the onion roll was delic), the roast beef perfectly cooked, and they even have fresh horseradish! The french fries are hand cut and really good. Jennifer F. Washington, D.C.

Their signature roast beef sandwich is consistently outstanding. I have yet to find a better one in DC. Try it with horseradish sauce or the fresh stuff. I can never finish it; it's generous…The french fries come with the skins on and make me wanna holler. Linda O. Washington, D.C.

MGM has one of the best good and cheap breakfasts in DC. They have pancakes, waffles, eggs, breakfast sandwiches, etc… And you receive generous portions. Come early and you wont be disappointed. Cherelle H. Washington, D.C.

These guys do it right! Every sandwich is amazing! Their meat is slowly cooked daily and prepared perfectly. The staff is friendly and always ready to chat and help... I also see the owners in there helping out. A way a small business should be run. Boss F. Washington, D.C.

I think I found my new roast beef place. The meat is to die for. Moist and flavorful, the offer options of roast beef either medium rare or well done plus ham and turkey if you're not into beef. I would highly highly recommend the juicy roast beef. Mary Kate M. Washington, D.C.

I ordered the Thanksgiving Dinner sandwich. The turkey was so very tender and flavorful and absolutely perfect. It was open face style, piled with stuffing & gravy. Cranberry sauce on the side. SO GOOD. I'd go back in a heartbeat. One of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Mel C. Washington, D.C.

Everything is fresh and everything is from a real animal. No processed lunch meat garbage here. The dark meat turkey, brisket, and roast beef are like a time warp back to lunch at grandma's house. Real horseradish, fresh bread. I could go on all day. F. J. Washington, D.C.

I just don't have the words to express. The taste was out of this world i mean the brisket was so good I wanted to go back and get another sandwich but i will go back today and get one i mean it was just the best roast beef i have ever had and growing up in Nebraska i have had my share of beef and this by far is the best. Antonio R. Edgewood, Washington, D.C.

Once we walked in, you could smell the delicious food and it made me even hungrier. I ordered the brisket, which was cooked to perfection. It's always great when you see the giant slab being carved right in front of you as they prepare your sandwich. They havea ton of condiments and cheeses to put on, and I believe you could put everything possible on this sandwich, and the flavor of the brisket would have still stuck out. Yes, its that good. Drew P. Washington, D.C.

Their kaiser rolls are exactly right, their condiments are good. But of course the whole story here is slow baked meat. Sort of like your Sunday supper club, they cook meats in small batches and leave them out at room temperature so that they stay at a pink "medium". Everything sells out fast. Ro B.
