51st Deli - West end

This is the fifth time I ordered a bagel with extra cream cheese. I paid extra for it. It was never provided as a side or put onto the bagel. They only ever put cream cheese on one side. It usually looks like a monkey slopped it together. I will never eat here again. They can’t even get something as simple as a bagel with cream cheese right. This has happened both when ordering online and in person. A complete joke.

We had a mixed experience with our visit here. We got the chicken caesar wrap and the tuna salad sandwhich. The chicken caesar wrap was pretty good, but the dressing wasn't dispersed well so much of it was dry. With some bites being a lot better than others, it was a bit of a let down. The tuna salad was heavy on the celery and sogged out the bread very quickly to the point of the bread being inedible. Service was fine - a bit slow on the food being ready. Fairly pricey too for what it is.

Like Nashville…51st Deli is full! Please stop coming here so I can enjoy my delicious lunch with a minimal wait time. Just because they have the best sandwiches in Nashville doesn’t mean you should come here.

There is no dispute this is the best place period! Breakfast is amazing, the burrito is 10/10 and lunch will not disappoint. The carna asada fries are a must try! Everything is amazing and fresh you cant go wrong!

I placed an order and was told to wait about 35 minutes, which I completely understood given how busy they were. However, during my wait, a DoorDash driver (who the staff clearly knew by name) walked in. The employee in charge of preparing orders immediately greeted her, called her by her first name, and completely skipped everyone else waiting in line. He went straight to grab her order, packed it up in a bag, and handed it to her within about 4 minutes. Meanwhile, the rest of us—including other customers and delivery drivers—were still waiting for our orders for 30 to 35 minutes. This kind of behavior is simply not acceptable for a restaurant in the heart of Nashville, the capital of Tennessee. It felt like something you'd expect in a place with much less professional standards. The staf
