Attman's Authentic Ny Deli

This is probably the best deli I've ever eaten in. The kosher hot dogs are the best--I wish I still ate meat so I could have one again. The ...

Attman's is the perfect place to pick up lunch before heading to the Raven's game. Although it gets pretty crowded before the game on Sunda...

I have went to this palce for the last 30 years and always have enjoyed every visit until today. I visited today and it was with great anticipation. On the drive to Attmans I was think of an extra lean corned beef sandwich on rye with mustard and literally my month was watering. I had not visited Attmans for a few months. When I visit it reminds me of my father and the days we would get a sandwich and laugh at the "New York" style clerks behind the counter yelling and shouting friendly directions (next, hurry up, we don't have all day, etc.) The place has really ran into a wall. One of the cases that would display all different kind of specialities was spray painted black so you could not see thru the glass, I assume because of a mechinical failure. The place was dirty and the clerks seemed to have their minds on something else. The corned beef I had today was fair, but the guy that waited on me sliced it thick and it really was sort of dry. He had gloves on but touched everything p... Read more

After seeing Attman's listed as a candidate for Best Of Baltimore Sandwiches, I had to give them a try. I drove down Lombard Street and easily found the deli. Off street parking for Attman's is directly across the street. I ordered the Hungry Man's Special, grabbed a Root Beer, and drove to Patterson Park to enjoy my lunch in the shade. What a great sandwich! Huge helping of melt in your mouth Corned Beef on some very excellent Jewish Rye. I order Corned Beef Specials at different places and I'm usually disapointed. This is how a Corned Beef Special should taste. I'll be back to try the other sandwiches, but I can't imagine anything being better than the Hungry Man's Special.

The Scene Award-winning corned beef and an amazing array of sandwiches are among the reasons Attman's has been packing 'em in since 1915. Minutes from Baltimore's Inner Harbor (in a once-thriving neighborhood that's seen better days), the deli's main hall is narrow, noisy and unpretentious. An adjoining room allows patrons to sit among photos of sated celebrities who partook of the generous portions back in the day. The Food Push your way to the end of the line and call out your order to the friendly workers behind the counter. Don't let sandwich names like Tongue Fu or Gay Liveration distract you. Traditionalists keep coming back for knishes, reubens and matzo ball soup. Just be sure to loosen your belt so you can squeeze in a piece of a homemade ruggelach or a helping of bread pudding afterwards.

I've lived in Baltimore all my life. I'm 46 years old and can remember going to this restaurant when I was a child. To this day, when I want Corned Beef, Pastrami, Roast Beef, Hot Dogs or their to die for Chicken Salad, I go to Attman's without question. Their Reuben and Jessica's Special is the best anywhere on God's planet.
