★★★★★ 5.0 Jennifer Bishop · Jan 2026

I got the BLT and it was absolutely delicious, complete with a perfectly chilled pickle on the side...yummmm! My friend had the TAB, which was absolutely delicious as well. All the sandwiches are very mindfully made by the owners, you can tell they really take pride in their business. Head over for a sandwich soon - you won't be disappointed!

Stopped by Marathon Motors on our tour of Nashville around lunch time and something lite sounded really good so seeing that there was a deli inside was our cue to stop for lunch. When you go into the restaurant which is in the Marathon bigger building. Imagine it like the restaurant is a huge room in a massive house. This place was nice and the food was great! I had a ham with bacon and this delicious red spread served on toasted sourdough with harvartti cheese and lettuce and tomato. We also had a turkey on a croissant which was served on a croissant the size of my head which was a good thing. So good… it speaks volumes when you can do simple well and these guys definitely have that down. Bags of chips bottled soda and an excellent bowl of broccoli cheddar soup were added and everything w

Outstanding deli in an amazing location. Food and service was excellent, no hassle, large, tasty servings. Wholesome, quality food and friendly, personable staff. We'll worth a visit - especially to soak up some of the free whisky tasting nearby!

★★★★★ 5.0 L. Cox · Feb 2026

Outstanding sandwiches, generous portions. Bought a club sandwich, perfectly made (all the ingredients stayed in their place) and some potato salad. Was enough for two lunches. Very tasty! Highest recommendation!
