    Italian Special
    Haley W.

    GO TO DUKE'S! I've been coming here for years and the food and atmosphere is always the most neighborly, casual feel. You can't beat it. If you're hungry, they have a great selection of sandwiches (even vegetarian). I always get the Hot Italian. The price point is great and they serve food until 3am. It's fun to sit at the bar and chat, or even sit in the dining area for more of a lunch feel. They have a back parking lot, so no stress, there's free parking. Go check out their website for events, there's always something going on! Go support, let's keep Duke's in East Nashville!

    First time at Dukes and got a Togo order. Had the Dukes Italian with Giardiniera and it was fantastic. Great service can't wait to go back and dine in and enjoy another great sandwich!

    Dive bar meets your favorite, little sandwich shop. This spot has a small parking lot that it shares with other businesses. You order your sandwiches and drinks at the bar then grab a seat. There are a few tables inside but mostly bar seats. The sandwiches are made to order and can be hot or cold. You also close out your tab and pay at the bar when you finish. I got the Cuban and it was hot and delicious. It came with just enough chips on the side.

    I got the 2:17 special sandwich and it was really amazing. Just a solid sandwich. And they had an NA beer option (Athletic) which I appreciate.

    Who'd a thunk of find one of the best sandwiches in Nashville. I was in town for a few shows at the Ryman (great music hall) I was having a drink and I asked patrons and the bartender where could I get the best sandwich at the same time they all said dukes. To me what makes a sandwich a great sandwich is the roll. Good crunch to the crust good amount of rise on the interior and that dam hood indescribable taste of great bread. THIS PLACE NAILS THE ROLL! Whatever's closest to an Italian OS what I go for, forget their name. I got their condiments on the side cause I wasn't sure if I'd like that change. You can do the same next time I'll get them on the sandwich cause I tan out what they gave me to take out. I put it in my fridge in my hotel room in Home. I usually have a half a sandwich after a show and ended up eating the whole thing it was that yummy! It's also an alternative place which I like. Not stuffy not expensive but great food and service!

    Depending on what night ya get in here, the service and DJ music can be on-point or okay. Late night toasted sandwich counter at entrance or exit depending on which door you entered. Everyone has their fave, mine is the cheesy-meaty London Broil! Like prime rib, but no need of a plate and a fork & knife! Comes w/ Zapps chips. So welcomed to close the night. Thank you!

    See all
