I didn't even know that this place was in my neighborhood until it got some unexpected press on Friday. Now that I know, I'm thrilled to know where to go for an absolutely amazing Kosher pastrami and corned beef sandwich. I generally eat too fast, but one bite of this sandwich slowed time. I had to stop and savor the flavor because there was so much going on. They cure their own brisket and pastrami! I will be bringing my family back to this welcoming restaurant when they're in town.

Delicious burgers and sandwiches. I eat here whenever in DC and love it. The pastrami is a guilty pleasure.

At here when we were in DC, as my wife keeps kosher and we wanted a burger. One of the best burgers either one of us have ever had, kosher or not. Great atmosphere and the service was amazing. Will go again next time we are there.

Just what the doctor ordered. After 6 days of traveling I wanted something healthy. The grilled veggies (huge order) and an order of matzo ball soup were excellent. Thank goodness for places like this! And only a 10 minute walk from my hotel!!

Had the The Lower East Side sandwich for takeout yesterday. Food was done fast and the sandwich was the perfect temperature. Amazing flavor with the pastrami reminding me of a smoked flavor and the tenderness was probably the best ive had. With the sandwich being fantastic, it's size doesn't match the price. This was a good sandwich but not worth the 24$ price tag. Typical size and you wont be disappointed with it but a bit pricey.

Best burgers in town, and at a kosher restaurant! We took advantage on Christmas Day, knowing options elsewhere were limited, and were well rewarded. My daughter and I had the Hickory Burgers, which include an onion ring and brisket on top. So delicious. My wife loved the Western (burger with pastrami on top). And Mike dug his New Yorker (corned beef, pastrami, cole slaw and russian dressing). The duck egg rolls were also nice. The only disappointment came with the matzo ball soup... but everything else was so good, I can't fault Char Bar.
