Taylor Gourmet

I decided to venture over to Taylor Gourmet on K Street, a spot that once boasted 17 locations in D.C. and was the talk of the town. I’ve passed by countless times, intrigued by its mysterious, limited hours. Then, a twist of fate—someone decided it was time to extend those hours and serve more than just the office lunch crowd. I took this as my cue to finally dive into their offerings. With a welcoming smile, the cashier greeted me as I stepped inside. The menu was tempting, but I set my sights on the Classic Cheesesteak—though I opted for chicken instead of the usual beef. I skipped the chips and sides, settling for a drink. Here’s where my love affair with iced tea hit a snag: they only had small bottled versions, and I’m a sucker for freshly brewed with free refills. Alas, not every place is perfect. But then, my sandwich arrived, hot off the grill, and all was forgiven. In a city not exactly renowned for its cheesesteaks, this one was a revelation. The roll was that perfect balance of soft and sturdy, cradling a medley of flavors that sang with every bite. Affordable and satisfying, I think I’ve found my new go-to spot for a solid cheesesteak fix. Our office had them cater a party once, and they served up a feast of salads, cookies, and an array of subs. I was so engrossed in the salads that I didn’t snap any pics—rookie mistake! But trust me, it was all delicious. If you find yourself near 14th and K Street, do yourself a favor and stop by Taylor Gourmet. I’ll definitely be back to explore more of their menu. Here’s hoping the new management keeps up the great work and maybe even brings back more locations. This place is a tasty gem waiting to be rediscovered!

While touring DC, my cousin had a cheesesteak craving, and this place was within walking distance. It was around 3 PM on a Wednesday, and there was no one else inside. They had a lunch special - buy one sandwich, get one free. Unsure if it's worth it at full price, but it felt like a steal at half price. The Girard Ave and Classic Cheesesteak were filling and tasted like high-quality sandwiches. We also tried the Love Park Salad, which had an excess of mozzarella cheese but was otherwise quite good.

First time at Taylor Gourmet and I was extremely impressed! For starters, the place was very clean and the staff was extremely friendly. I am Gluten free and I got myself the Gluten free cheesesteak and it was delicious! Not very easy to find good gluten free sandwich spots and glad I came across this place. All of the sandwiches can be made to be Gluten free which was also a nice thing to see.

I’ll have to try the cheesesteak next time because the photo looks so yummy. I got the Franklin Square salad with breaded chicken cutlet and it was delicious! I feel $15 is a little pricey for a basic salad but it was fresh and I ate it all!

I came pretty late for a regular spot. Like 10-11pm. It was pretty quiet but they still had a burger special. The staff was kind and patient when my card didn't tap and that burger. It was hot, cheesy and so filling. The fries slapp so hard. Honestly, if I didn't live so far I'd keep eating here. While I'm in town, this place is gonna be it for me. Can't wait to try the sub

I purchased a "Federal sub" last week (Oct 29, 2024) as I was traveling from DC to FL. At first glance the sandwich was suscept but I was hungry so I ate half of it before boarding my flight. Thank God I did not eat the other half but threw it in the trash when I landed. I was sick with stomach cramps and diarrhea before I could get home. I am not sure what it was but you can't convince me it wasn't the he sandwich.

Good stuff! In terms of cold subs, it's similar to Jimmy John's (but JJ is only good half the time). Also, the sandwiches are huge. Expect leftovers

I order this alllll the time on Uber eats. Unfortunately they took away all options to customize the meal and if you order cookies or chips they just send you whatever. Wish they would take the time to refresh the Uber side of their platform.

In all honesty, I am NOT a sandwich girl, but Taylor Gourmet changed that. In 2017 I discovered their H St location and was there almost every week. It was very sad when the location closed and I thought they would be out of my life forever. But then I discovered the K St location last summer before a conference. The place was busy but my order came out quickly and it was delicious! PERFECTION! I'm so glad the city still has a location and I cannot wait to go back soon.

I went for many years and would use them to cater trainings I would conduct for volunteers. They have a pretty good selection so I was sad when they left K St. And closed down their other spots. Glad to see they are back...highly recommend "The Jackson"!

Babyyyyyy, I'm overjoyed that Taylor Gourmet is back in business -- although H St. didn't come back (RIP). My friends and I have a slight addiction to their risotto balls. The classic ones are a GREAT start. They're nice in size, always hot, and the flavors really come through. SN: I personally could use more marinara lol Now for the seasonal. I had the seessonal risotto balls as well which was corn and jalapeños. They weren't my favorite seasonal risotto balls but still very tasty. These don't come with marinara, but instead more of a cream-based sauce.

Ordered online and picked up on lunch hour. Had the vine street chicken cutlet sandwich and it was very tasty! Pretty filling too, saved the other half for the following day. Only thing I'll note is the online ordering said BBQ chips were unavailable, but when we went to pickup, they did have them in store.

A delicious sandwich shop. Compared to others it is perhaps one of the better sandwich shops in the area on K Street. They offer both hot and cold sandwiches, most of which are specialty sandwiches. One thing to pay close attention to when ordering are the ingredients and toppings on the specialty sandwiches. If there is a topping or ingredient you aren't quite familiar with or simply don't want you can order the sandwich without the topping. This is especially important when ordering their cheesesteak sandwich, a sandwich which was far from my expectation of a cheesesteak. The cheesesteak had lettuce, tomato and raw red onion. Not that the sandwich wasn't delicious, however it wasn't what I expected and what most people would expect from a cheesesteak sandwich. The raw red onion was most surprising on the sandwich. Overall a good experience. Street parking is available. I'll try them again when in the area.

I went here at 7:45PM on a Monday (7/29/24). Closing time is listed at 10PM online. The doors were locked and the employees were shutting the place down. Don't trust the online advertised times. Waste of a commute down and lazy workers.

I've been eating at Taylor Gourmet for over a decade and it's always solid. Very good spot. 10/10 every time.

This is my go-to lunch spot. The staff is quick and my order always tastes fresh. I have also placed large orders for work lunches that included many substitutions and my order was correct and ready to go on time! Major highlight is that this is one of the only quick service sandwich places that has a gluten-free wrap available- which is actually a decent size and holds together!!

Order off Doordash. We had the mozzarella wedges and cheese steak sub with American cheese. It was so delicious and well-cooked. We didn't get a picture it was so good. Everything came hot and fresh. I'm not a fan of the mozzarella wedges but the cheese steak is a MUST try!!

Food is always excellent service isn't always the best... I'm glad they're popping back up at first I was worried when Taylor Gourmet kinda vanished a couple of years ago.

Grabbed lunch here one day. Glad they have a vegan option! I got the cumberland sandwich on multigrain bread. It's close to my office, so I'll keep this in mind for lunch in the future.

South Street sandwich was delicious. Quick turnaround on getting order done and it is a vibe that is very DC.

Didn't have the order ready for pick-up at the appointed time. Workers were eating and told me there were no pick-up orders for me, until I showed them the digital receipt. Then they started on my order. Not exactly customer friendly. Online ordering here is a gamble. They are also did not make the correct sub. They forgot the bacon and the arancinis were cold and hard.
