You know how the term "sandwich artist" gets thrown around as an ironically fancy way to refer to someone who works at a sandwich shop? Well, these people here are actual sandwich artists. I'm not being ironic. These people build sandwiches that are finely tuned flavor delivery systems. The ingredients on each one work in perfect harmony with one another to bring an experience that is unique only to Fatbelly Pretzel. Now, on the bakery side we all know they make a great pretzel, but what you may not know is that they make a cake that will bring a tear to your eye. We ordered one for a birthday party and I expected it to be good but I did not expect it to be THAT good. I'm not a cake person. I don't really have a love for sweets. But now, I have a special place in my heart for that cake. Do not miss Fatbelly Pretzel when you're in East Nashville. Try anything they have on the menu and you will not be disappointed. Outside of their weekly sandwich special I would recommend the muffuletta. Also, the owners and all the employees could not be nicer people. I believe that they truly live by their slogan "spread love like mustard." read more

Fatbelly Pretzel - Muffuletta - Delis Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

This is a spectacular hidden gem!! Wow I didn't know sandwiches could taste this amazing. I love a good pretzel bun and it was so good. There were so many great options that I had trouble picking, but I asked the employee if she had a recommendation and she said the muffaletta is pretty popular and it's hearty if I get it hot and toasted. That's exactly what I went for and I have no regrets. This was amazing. Look at the cheese pull! The muffuletta has bologna, capicola, genoa salami, Swiss cheese. Normally I'm not a big fan of bologna but this was delicious. I definitely would say this is better hot than cold. I ordered there for pick up and it was ready in about 5 minutes. I need to come back to try all the other sandwiches because everything looks so good. read more

So bomb. The weekly special - The Peach Pit Sub was great. Kids got a turkey and cheese sandwich which they loved as well. Mac and Cheese if it's available, is underrated. Amazing customer service and super chill inside. Seating can be tough if they are busy but worth the wait. read more

Absolutely THE best deli sandwich in mid-TN. I drive from Gallatin. It's worth it!. Arrive hungry. Leave impressed.

I think this might be the most incredible sandwich I have ever had and I am a bit of a sandwich snob. This sandwich was what I always wanted Al'Anitico Vinaio to be but never was, and could never dream of being. The inside is your typical deli counter/sandwich shop setup. Nothing fancy and not trying to be. The "Hamma Mia" was on the most perfect focaccia I have ever had on a sandwich. Extremely fresh and fluffy, they said it takes 3 days to make! The artichoke cream and homemade motz are two of the freshest ingredients again, that I think I have had. Flabbergasted is honestly the only word I have for how good this place was. Will definitely be my go to local sando place from now on. Cant wait to try their other offerings. Staff was super helpful and made a recommendation based on "if you had to pick 1." Go try them out! read more

My new favorite restaurant in Nashville! My husband and I LOVE soft pretzels, and Fatbelly absolutely did not disappoint. Parking is free! Which is amazing. Plus, the cashier was SO friendly and kind. The line was long for the entire 30 minutes we were there on Saturday afternoon. We got the Lango, which was an amazing cold roast beef sandwich on a pretzel hoagie. The horseradish mustard was great, and the hoagie was yummy, too. However, the hot Muffaletta still wins top pick in my heart. My husband got the cinnamon sugar pretzel with icing, which he loved. I enjoyed the salted pretzel with the jalapeño buttermilk FBP dip, which was sooo delicious. I have a feeling we will become regulars soon, and I'm eager to try the $2 day old cream cheese pretzel danish I snagged. You must try Fatbelly if you love pretzels! read more

If you're alive and breathing this is a nonnegotiable requirement not only to order an amazingly delicious sandwhich but ordering from the bakery as well. Treat yourself! I don't think I understood until now why people would order sandwiches for a meal. I was mind-blown, truly. My Hamma Mia! was the best sandwhich I've eaten in Tennessee. The focaccia, PERFECTION. I ordered two cookies the salted chocolate chip pretzel chunk cookie and the Pumpkin Pie cookie. The Deli Gods have blessed this establishment because the cookies sent me to heaven. Truly phenomenally executed! This establishment rings true to what East Nashville is all about. Notes: Parking lot was full but there was quick turnaround and I was able to find a parking spot in under 2 minutes, as soon as you walk in you will find yourself in line to order there is a menu overhead the counter to order from (you can also order ahead and pick up - that's what I did), one sandwich is enough to split (but you might not want to share) there is a grab and go station with variety of drinks and sides made from scratch, as well as seating indoors! Humble establishment with great vibes inside! I loved the interior! Will definitely be bringing everyone I know here! read more

My sandwich the K-Dub was absolutely delicious. Piled high with plenty of fresh cut vegetables, protein, and potato chips just to name a few packed with TONS of flavor. I arrived around lunch time and the line was out the door. Don't worry though it moves very quickly. Tons of soda and juice options to pick from. Everyone was extremely nice and friendly. Plenty of seating inside and the bathroom was really clean. Definitely be back next time I am in Nashville. read more

Stumbled upon this place as a pretzel lover and was not disappointed. I got their salted pretzel and bacon cheddar stuffed pretzel with jalapeño butter and pimento cheese on the side. The salted pretzel had a great texture and was not overwhelmingly salty. It paired super well with the rich, creamy pimento cheese and that jalapeño butter which added a great kick. The bacon cheddar stuffed pretzel was a savory delight. The staff were super friendly and made you feel welcomed right away. Would definitely come back. 4.8/5 read more

You know when you're just craving homemade bread? Googled best sandwiches in Nashville and Fatbelly Pretzel popped up... I was sold as soon as I saw that they had focaccia bread. We are so glad we got to try the Hamma Mia with salami, ham, hummus, mozzarella bedded between two slices of the best focaccia I've had outside of Italy. We went with the blondie for the dessert and snuck in a few bites before our sandwich..Amazing!! The sea salt and dark chocolate chips with buttery goodness. I'm a sweets person and love a good blondie. The owner came up and gave my dog some bacon and brought over a bowl with water for him which was really kind. It's the little big things that make a sandwich place your new go-to and Fatbelly one me over today! From the hand painted murals on the walls, amble indoor and some outdoor seating, free parking and vibez!! Thanks Fatbelly, I'm telling all my friends about you and will be dreaming about your food!! read more

I came to a pretzel/sandwich shop and ordered a salad. I'm not a pretzel guy. More on that in a bit. The ex-Chicagoan in me keeps wanting to call this place 'Potbelly.' The confusion is real: interesting sandwiches, bellies. Maybe that's all but that was enough for me to not rush into the doors. I'd been there and done that. But once I realized this was not the sandwich chain from Chicago, I was a bit more intrigued to see what was happening. What was happening was a sandwich craze. People were lined dozens deep to get a taste of these bad boys and I needed to know why. Being that I have never been much of a pretzel guy I looked to see what, if anything else, was available for me to sample. Salads. Cool. I can do a salad. So on a Saturday at the top of the year, I made my way to Eastwood and hoped for the best. I was pleased to discover lot parking that came without a QR Code or need of a smart phone.* Quick rant: I hate that trend. It's exclusionary, classist and completely unnecessary. Being able to park shouldn't depend on the type of phone you (don't) have. Ridiculous. Sorry. Pot... Fatbelly. Despite my easy parking the dining room was filled with people. Luckily for me, this wasn't their first rodeo and the line moved more quickly than it might have seemed. The folks behind the counter was unfazed by my salad request. It's on the menu for a reason. After a fair amount of time to make my salad fresh, I was ready and out the door with a very heavy package o' salad. I went for the Cobbster (hold the pretzel dust) because who doesn't like a Cobb salad? I found the amount of food I got for the price I paid to be very fair. I opened the package and began to mix up the iceberg lettuce, cucumber, carrots, tomato, hard-boiled egg, bacon, blue cheese, and ranch dressing. And then I topped all of it with the scoop of chicken salad that came with the salad. Like I said, great amount of food for the money. The taste was just what I expected it to be: creamy, slightly salty, crunchy, cobb-y goodness. I finished the salad and was pleasantly full. So, this is how I went to a pretzel sandwich shop, ordered a salad and had a 4-star experience. And I'd do it again. *This may have changed since my visit. read more

A solid sandwich experience in east Nashville. Quick and convenient service, not to mention delicious. The store front has lots of fun drink options, unique chip choices and a fair amount of tables. Good place for a quick lunch while you're enjoying east Nashville! read more

We swung by here to pickup some goodies and try out a new place, and I'm glad we did! Service was fantastic, and they have a few seating options inside. The pretzels were all very soft and delicious. Both the cinnamon sugar and jalapeño cheddar I would highly recommend. The danish was okay, but I dont think I'd order one again. The real star of the show though... The thin & crispy cookie. It was a perfectly caramelized chocolate chip cookie and absolutely huge too. Definitely worth picking up some items to eat here. I've also heard they have great sandwiches, but haven't had the opportunity to try any. We look forward to coming back for more! read more

Fatbelly Pretzel - Cinnamon sugar pretzel, jalapeño cheddar pretzel, blueberry cream cheese danish, and thin & crispy cookie (ridiculously good) - Delis Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

After coming here for the first time in my 4 years in Nashville, I can say that the KDUB sandwich is one of my favorites in the city! I love the avocado and ruffles added as a welcomed addition to a classic turkey club type of sub. Add in that it is all on a fresh Dutch roll and it is a chefs kiss! Proper levels of savory and tangy with all the toppings that make this sandwich what it is and texturally complex. The staff was busy but attentive and patient with everyone even during the Saturday lunch rush. The owners are front and center working with all the staff at the counter and in the kitchen prepping all the food and adding to the hospitality and small business feel that makes you enjoy spending your time and money at a place like this. It is a nice touch that they have a dip come with any pretzel ordered. The pepperoni stuffed pretzel was solid heated up, but for me was lacking the option of a marinara type sauce to dip it in. The everything bagel is properly seasoned the way I like it not sparing a bit of open space on the surface and fully covered in seasoning. These pretzels are unique in shape and have you wanting to come back and try all the different varieties, both regular and special unique danish and dessert pretzel infusions. I will definitely be back to try other sandwiches and desserts! read more

Walking in I felt like what it would be like walking into a NY deli. The woman at the register where we gave our order greeted us with a big smile and a happy hello. The baked case looked amazing! We ordered the KDub, "cupcake"cake dessert, and a chocolate chip pretzel crunch cookie. We took a seat and was greeted by Levon (I think) the owner and had a nice conversation with him. We were served our sandwich and it was almost as big as my head! Flavor was great and I loved the potato chip crunch in the middle. Definitely give this place a try. read more

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. read more

Absolutely outstanding and by far the best sandwich I've had in town. I got the KDUB which is a must try. The customer service is unmatched as well, they call you friend and threw a candy in my Togo bag. Doesn't get much better than this. Update: I made it 48 hours before I went back. That should tell you everything you need to know. read more

My sandwich was good, mostly lettuce. The staff is AMAZING, so sweet and genuine. I'd rather support this than a chain like subway

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!!! read more

This place came highly recommended and now understand why! The menu is limited but the selections all sounded SO good. We shared a ginormous chicken G-Netty sandwich. So tasty with lots of flavor---super yummy sandwich. Yes, limited parking spots but it didn't seem to stop the many, many people coming in for lunch. All were taken care of speedily and with the utmost attention from staff. We'll be back! Cool vibes and nice background music. read more

I ordered the FBP Muffuletta & Hamma Mia! Sandwiches, two chocolate chip pretzel cookies, and two drinks for 12:45pm. My wife had previously gotten the FBP Muffuletta and said it was 10 out of 10 so my expectations were high. I arrived at 12:41pm and was greeted immediately. They informed me that my last sandwich was being made and confirmed my cookie choice as well as allowed me to get my drinks. As I waited I observed a really cool atmosphere and vibe. The place was packed and everyone was just enjoying their meal. My order was ready at 12:44 and 40 seconds. It couldn't have been more on time! Now for the most important part.. the food! Both sandwiches were polar opposites from each other and both just equally amazing!!! The only thing better was ending it with the cookie! This is now my number 1 spot for lunch in East Nashville!!! read more

I cannot recommend this place enough. My wife and I order at least once a week (always trying the special) and I'm constantly impressed with everything from the attitude and effort from the staff to the care and quality of prep in our food. This place is just excellent, never misses. They outshine their building and deserve a larger platform, but I selfishly hope they'll always be part of our neighborhood. Thankful for Fatbelly Pretzel. read more

So awesome to be able to visit the long awaited brick and mortar of Fatbelly Pretzel! Situated in a small plaza on Gallatin Ave in East Nashville, Fatbelly was a welcome addition! Recently had a friend in town and I knew exactly where we needed to go, so we ended up at Fatbelly around 11:00 AM. My pal wanted breakfast and I wanted lunch, and we both wanted a pretzel. He got the Breakfast Sando with bacon, which is pre-made, but kept hot and still quite tasty. I opted for the Hamma Mia! lunch special and we shared a plain salted pretzel. The Hamma Mia! sounded delish, but when it arrived to the table I was blown away by how much ham, salami, mozzarella, artichoke cream, chili crisp, balsamic drizzle and arugula they stuffed between that beautiful sourdough focaccia! I had to formulate a plan to eat this thing and was only able to tackle half of it. Absolutely gorgeous and tasty sammy! The pretzel was solid...and I weirdly learned that Fatbelly is a variety of pretzel. When you first see their pretzels you think to yourself "man those are skinny but also weirdly imperfect pretzels"...and they are. They are certainly not the prettiest pretzels, but the "fatbelly" signifies skinny and chewy arms with a soft, fat belly. Makes total and tasty sense now! Service was stellar and friendly. Overall, loved visiting and love having Fatbelly in the neighborhood now! read more

Been a few times staff is always friendly and food options are great as well as quality.

I think I said the word WOW three times after my first bite of the Cuban Ruben Special. It was perfect from the fresh bread to the flavorful fillings. The Hamma Mia was also fantastic with chili crisp and thinly sliced ham on sourdough focaccia. Chefs kiss. Also, the service was the best I've had in ages. The dude delivering the goodies to each table was happy to serve his customers and that's the kinda service that makes you want to come back. Good amount of seating but fills up fast! read more

pretzel chocolate chip cookie: 7/10 salted pretzel: 7.5/10 super fun here! i'll probably go back to try the s'mores cookie and their sandwiches. everyone in there was eating sandwich and not just there for snacks so i think that's their main thing. i did rate the foods lowkey low but it's so fun here and i will be going back because they have such fun foods to try. they also have a fridge with a special coffee they make and potato salad and other little things! they have like 5 tables with 4 stools each, pretty small inside but lots of people get to go i think. seems like a good place you can go to alone. you can also preorder and they put their bags out to pickup! i went an hour before closing and they were only sold out of the cinnamon pretzel so pretty good! the pretzels also come with a free dip they have like 6 to choose from. parking lot out front, you have to register your car to parking lot but it's free except for like 2am didn't get a chance to see the bathroom or if they have one, when i go back i'll update this review lol read more

I had the chance to try all of their sandwiches, and you truly can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches.

This is one of the best pretzels I've ever had. The sandwich smelled, looked, tasted unlike anything, I will need to try and recreate this at home. The salted, sweet, umami, and bitterness all came together. I won't spoil the special treat that awaits you in the bathroom but I will give you a hint: it's bananas in there! It's a smaller sized shop, cozy compared to the business of Nashville. People were working and families eating lunches while we were there. Overall 5/5- we kept joking about returning each time we needed lunch. read more

Fatbelly Pretzel - A wrapped, house turkey sandwich on a pretzel roll, and salted hand rolled pretzel with a honey mustard sauce on a tray. - Delis Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I've been a fan of this place since being willing to wait in long lines on hot summer mornings at the Richland Park Farmer's market and it's amazing to see how much they've continued to raise the bar with their brick & mortar. First: love the bold decor & design of this place. It exudes "take yourself less seriously and enjoy life" energy and I'm here for it. When I came in at 8 am the week of Christmas, there was a little line of loyalists like myself who came to load up on all their carby specials for the holidays. They were playing like a techno/rock Christmas playlist and this place is just FUN. All the sandwiches are legendary here but that breakfast sando is truly something special - egg, cheese, bacon, hash brown, all on a pretzel roll. Yum. Specials here are advertised on their instagram and I came on this visit for the panettone, which was festive AF and so decadent. The buffalo chicken dip from their take-home fridge made entertaining so easy. The cookies with chunks of crunchy pretzel made dealing with my family during the holidays more bearable. Also a plus: the parking lot is decently spacious here and unlike many places on the Gallatin strip, doesn't make me feel like I'm about to go towards my death trying to make a left hand turn on Gallatin. read more
