    Beet Juice
    Tanzel S.

    Real cool spot if you want a quick snack or meal. I've gotta a couple things. The juices, the wraps, sandwiches, salads, Etc. Great neighborhood deli that you will leave satisfied after going too!

    Lox on bagel from 51st Deli - Nations, Nashville
    Bruce K.

    We asked Yelp for a deli along our route and it recommended 51st Deli. A good choice though parking is a challenge here. Mrs. K. studied the menu and opted for the lox on a bagel. She enjoyed it and was impressed that they did include the capers but wondered why the bagel wasn't toasted. I chose the first sandwich on the list, the Italian. A nice collection of meats and cheese and veggies on bread that didn't seem "day of" to me. Maybe it is and we ordered late in the day? The drink coolers can't be beat. Many, many options from macro pops to small local cans. We struggled to choose! Overall, decent. A solid four star experience with our sandwiches from 51st Deli - Nations.

    Turkey avocado sandwich, subbed banana peppers in place of pickled onions
    Kaitlin H.

    One of the best places to get a sandwich in Nashville. The turkey avocado, the Philly, the chopped cheese, the Cuban, breakfast, the tacos...it's all great. Casual, high quality, and consistently good. They also have refrigerators full of drinks, sides, and chips to choose from. Their online ordering is super easy, fast, and it's always ready on time.

    Turkey Club
    Danielle B.

    Best turkey club I've had in Nashville so far. The staff is always so sweet and SO quick. Whether you're taking it to go or sitting down, it's always the best time at 51st.

    This spot was recommended by our Uber driver, and I'm so glad we gave it a try. Parking can be a bit of a challenge, but it's absolutely worth it. You place your order at the counter, and our food was ready in under 10 minutes. There are a few tables if you want to eat inside, though most people seemed to be doing grab-and-go. They also have a very large drink selection. If sandwiches aren't your thing, they offer salads and tacos as well. I ordered The Legend, which comes with roast beef, melted cheddar cheese, onion, and barbecue sauce. Barbecue sauce on a deli sandwich sounded a little strange at first, but it was surprisingly delicious. If you're looking for a good deli sandwich this is the place. Don't leave without grabbing one of their chocolate chip cookies.

    Ham on rye with brown mustard
    Cathlene R.

    This place isn't a true "DELI"; what it is, is an Eatery. Now if you haven't been in a True Deli this place is a fine place to pick up a salad, hamburger, and tacos. If you have been to a Deli, don't get your hopes up, as you can see by the picture, the ham isn't shaved. Also, my rye bread was toasted, I didn't want my bread toasted... Also, this sandwich cost $10!!!

    I was having a beer at Southern Grist and the bartender mentioned the Deli for a bodega lunch. The cashier said they specialized in a Rueben, burgers and more. They have 1000 pieces of cake lined up for easy grab and go add ons. Nice lunch spot. I opted for the Rueben and let her choose the bread option. It was ready fast and was outstanding. They won me over with the pickle. Several sub shops and restaurants have withdrawn their pickles with sandwich options and that is my least favorite part of shrink-flation. Long live the sandwich pickle! God Bless you 51st, you a real one.

    Turkey Avocado
    Haley W.

    Fast service and just a good sub! Love this place for a quick bite. Would recommend to come here and get the subs.

    Music City Tuna
    Audrey H.

    I usually love a tuna sandwich but I wasn't particularly impressed! It was a decent sandwich but nothing blew me away-- it felt like Subway or Firehouse Subs quality. The restaurant was cute inside, but I found the employees to not be very helpful or accommodating.

    Turkey Club
    Eshe' R.

    Everything I've tried so far has been so good! I've had the fried chicken caesar wrap, chicken tacos, and the turkey club sandwich. Pictured is my turkey club. I customized it a little bit and it HIT! Everything is always wrapped properly and arrives at a good temp. Highly recommend this place.

    Mood: Quick Lunch Very close to TSU & a neighborhood staple. Was so crowded and crazy thing not a long wait. They get you in & out no problem. The variety of beverages are short to none! When I tell you every drink you can think of they have. LOVE Inside was clean and smelled like some good food coming from behind the counter. Service was very good. Local hot spot. Lunch eats: The Vegetarian 8/10: i love a good bean burger. This one had mild flavor but still pretty good. Will next time maybe add a sauce to the burger. Turkey Avocado club 9/10: can't go wrong with a club sandwich. Did the job right. Will be going back to try more items and of course more beverages.

Anyways the staff is really helpful. As soon as you're seated you're greeted and given the 411 on the place being a scratch kitchen, everything made in house and this is important because it contributes to the amazing quality control. But I digress. They also have merchandise and a pastry kitchen for you to grab and go coffee if you don't have time to enjoy the delicious food at a table. Now you cannot really go wrong here. We started off with the ricotta and honey on sourdough...amazing. And that honey? I wanted to take one home so bad but I did not want to check in my bag for it so I'll have to come by again. I could eat this pairing for days. So good. We stuck to the basics, biscuits with our cravings (chicken on mine, and bacon + egg + cheese on my friends) and a curry. Left leaving stuffed. Those biscuits...you must. 10/10 recommend and will be back!

(We had other dinner plans in a few hrs) we got the ricotta/honey bread, the honey butter biscuits and a Bloody Mary. Ricotta/honey: everyone raves about this but we thought it was boring.

Biscuits: husband and friends loved them!! Could have used more butter but still good. Bloody Mary- YEEEESSS!! It was perfect. Our friend got the hot chicken and he loved it. I had 1 bite and it was definitely hot!! And yes- very good. All in all, a good different brunch place for an out of towner. Nothing amazing that I will come back for. Great customer service!

I'll start off by saying I'm not the biggest fan of pancakes, nor cinnamon and have to be in the mood for both. Today happened to be the day. I tried their pancake sampler, with cinnamon, Caribbean and banana bread pancakes. They were all good, fluffy, airy and flavorful. Banana bread with their maple syrup, Caribbean with cinnamon. But, their cinnamon pancakes were amazing!! Those were definitely the winner!!! Best pancakes I've ever had. Their three pig omelette was pretty bomb as well. I got some of their sausage gravy on the side, to douse the omelette and that was definitely the move there. I think this is the first time I didn't need to use cholula for flavoring. The location is centralized, set up nicely, with huge open indoor space with plenty of seating outside. The service was great as well. Attentive and fast. All in all, I wish I had the time to come here yesterday, so I could try something different today. But, I took the place for everything it had and it definitely delivered. Highly recommend and I will be back, when I'm in the area for sure!
