Attman’s Potomac Deli is owned and
operated by the original Attman Family
that established the original location in
Baltimore in 1915. All meats and salads
are prepared on premises and lox is
hand-sliced which sets us apart from
virtually every delicatessen in the area.

Breakfast lunch and dinner is served 365
days a year and there is plenty of
outdoor seating available. Attman’s
Potomac Deli was awarded Best Deli by
the readers of Montgomery Magazine
and Washington Jewish Week last year.
