Delicious food! House made breads for the sandwiches served up fast and fresh. The roast beef is ROASTED there. So delicious. Decadent Banana Pudding on Friday's and the interior banana-themed decor is whimsical. Clean environment. Self-serve ICE COLD water is a plus, there's also a nice selection of beverages in a cooler for purchase. Salads available with protein choice too. We love this place for the kind and personable service plus the outstanding quality and flavors.
Great sandwich from fat belly pretzel in East & Amazing chocolate chip cookie that is not pictured!
Been a few times staff is always friendly and food options are great as well as quality.
Sooo amazing- I got the chopped salad without meat or cheese and not only halfway through my salad I had to literally stop and write a review to tell the world how good it is! I will certainly be back, amazing service, fresh ingredients good vibes and very very good food! #Nashvillegem
This is my go-to place for amazing breakfast, pretzels, sandwiches, desserts, or all of the above. I love this place. They have it all, and they never disappoint. The customer service is fantastic, too. Go once, and you will be hooked.
Fatbelly never misses. I've been here a few times and it's incredible each time. Got a Brutus today and it's probably the best sandwich I've ever had. Don't sleep on this place. Plus they are the nicest people ever.
So I've been twice now and must say that each time I'm blown away by something. I mean there isn't really one thing in particular I recommend other than getting a lemonade with your meal. Every sandwich I've had and my friends have had, were top tier. I mean 0 complaints all around. I'll go in with the intent to order one thing and then I'll see a special or limited time sandwich and end up ordering that instead. Eventually I'll go back to the original lineup. If you're in the area and want something for lunch, look no further. The staff here is super friendly, accommodating, and all around amazing! The couple of times I've visited it's never too long of a wait in line or to receive food. They do have a few tables within, if you should want to dine in. Parking is free here until after 5 I believe. So don't panic when you see the pay to park signs. Get out. Go in. Enjoy! Ok I'm back to report that the special for today, Pho Yea Meng, and The Lango is top tier!!!
Not sure how I've been sleeping on this place for the last year ... heed my review and don't make the same mistakes I have! Fatbelly Pretzel is the deli East Nashville needs - and their sandwiches and customer service standout among others in the neighborhood. I placed an order to-go on my drive back from downtown, and was told my sandwiches would be ready in 35-40 minutes. On a whim, I decided to stop in early and see if they were ready. Sure enough, my order had just been bagged up for me! A team member also greeted me when I arrived and was so friendly! The inside of the restaurant is adorable - exactly the classic deli vibes you'd picture from the name. I couldn't resist the KDUB - the description sounded like an elevated Turkey Club, and that's exactly what it is! Heads-up that this is a very mustardy sandwich - but I love mustard so that was no issue for me. Also - if you think the menu prices are a little steep, you'll be pleased to know that this sandwich is enormous. Plenty to share, or to make another meal! My husband ordered the Hot Muffaletta and was extremely pleased. I think it's safe to say we have a new favorite deli in East Nashville.
Line out the door usually means great things and this is no exception! Lots of delicious sandwich options. The Hamma Mia was packed full of ingredients (too much arugula but that's my preference) and tasted wonderful. Oh and the pretzels are fantastic too, any kind you get! Only knock against this place is the prices are a bit high.
Hands down one of the best finds in Nashville for me, got me coming back here 4 days in a row. I had the chance to try all of their sandwiches, and you truly can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches. Their pretzels are also homemade from scratch and I can't stop raving about this local sandwich shop. Definitely a must try, you won't be sorry! I wish I could add more photos.
