Fresh bread, pleasant location, outdoor seating available. The sandwhich maker is super kind and hospitable. The overall vibe is very chill. A nice stop to make on a pleasant afternoon where you want to walk and enjoy the river. read more

Front Street Deli - Menu as of 04-20-2026 - Delis Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

The owner was trying to close up to pick up his kids but couldn't let me leave empty handed. He threw together a Stone Hero for me and set me on my way. That sandwich was legit. Freshly baked bread, just enough ratio of ingredients to be filling but not excessive. Next time I'm In Memphis, I'll be be back! Hours listed aren't correct. He tries to close by 2:30 each day he's open. read more

Ordered the half "Stone Hero" and it was delicious. The pride and love that goes into making this sandwich omg the best. That is some of the best bread I have ever had. If you ever find yourself in Memphis, this deli is a MUST!! read more

Probably the best sub sandwich I have ever had. Fresh, flavorful ingredients. All made to order - deletions and substitutions don't give them conniptions. Just around the corner from major downtown Memphis hotels. My only regret is that I didn't get the two-footer. read more

This place is INSANE. They bake their bread fresh daily and it's so soft. A whole sandwich is 2 feet long and a half sandwich is a foot long. The guy working was super nice and told us about a couple of specials they had off of the menu. My boyfriend went for the chicken caesar sandwich, and I got a candied bacon BLT sandwich (soooo good the sauce on it was delicious). He said it'd be the best sandwich we'd have in Memphis. Definitely agree. read more

Walked in here around closing time on a Tuesday. The man working quickly made me a fresh sandwich. He explained the bread is made freshly in-house, which was definitely appreciated on first bite. The space itself has a great "deli" feel. read more

Food was good and the employee was nice but this place was super understaffed. Only one guy working with a limited menu when we went for lunch on Presidents Day. I really wanna know what bread they use tho because it's amazing! read more

These are the best sandwiches!! Huge portions. I only got a half and it rivals Subway's foot long. The staff is very friendly and it took no time to get my food. They had some bistro tables set up outside where we ate so we could enjoy the scenery of downtown. Highly recommend! read more

This place is a MUST GO TO!! I'm not kidding. The owner is kind and helpful. He's laid back and eager to please his customers. I even saw him make a homeless man a sandwich and give him a coke! Now about the food! He gets us at 3am to make his own bread--- which no one else can beat the bread. Then, all the sandwiches were THE BEST EVER!! I mean it! Please go and see him! You'll thank me and him both!! read more

Service was great. The bread is to die for ‍ so soft, so delicious. You can't go wrong with anything in here. Just don't bring a large crowd expecting to dine in lol! read more

One of the best sandwiches I've ever had! Got the New Yorker and the bread is just soooo good!

Came for St. Jude and stopped for lunch. Homemade bread for the sandwiches. I had two items not on the menu: a potato soup and a chicken salad style sandwich. Incredible. I come once a year (at least) for St. Jude. I now have a new regular stop. Extraordinary food and incredible service. read more

Oh man, the NY sub here is the best sandwich in town, easy. Bread made in-house, as is the garlic aioli. I could eat this thing every day. Outstanding. read more

These are the best subs in Memphis for sure. If you're thinking about going, do it. The owner is awesome, and it's just a great overall experience. read more

I had the privilege of ordering the FIRST Front Street Deli sandwich since their reopening this July! I ordered the Stone Hero sandwich upon recommendation from the staff, and it's safe to say it did not disappoint! It was truly one of the best sandwiches I've had in a long time! The ingredients were so fresh, the sauces were to die for, and the bread was PERFECTION! The staff truly couldn't have been nicer, and their passion for Memphis and its culinary scene was evident. As a lifelong Memphian, I'm thrilled Front Street Deli is back open!! Please be sure to give this place a try and support a phenomenal local business!! read more

I moved to the Memphis area last year, and have been waiting for Front Street Deli to open so I could try it. Today I did. It did not disappoint! I ordered the Stone Hero sandwich. It is delicious. I look forward to returning, especially since it is right by where I work. The service was great and staff was friendly and helpful. read more

Holy goodness. The men inside are great chatting with & made us feel very welcome. Us girls both ordered the #5 breakfast on a croissant. I could not be happier. read more

Front Street Deli - Fried egg, bacon, avocado, basil mayo, lettuce & tomato all on a toasted croissant (usually served on wheat toast) 5. Breakfast - Delis Near Me - Memphis, Tennessee

Tasty, fresh sandwiches; slow service. We visited on a Wednesday for lunch around noon. It is a small space. There is a counter inside where you could eat, but I think it might be a little awkward given the close quarters. There are also outside tables on the side walk, which would be ideal in the warmer months. However, if it is cooler, I recommend ordering and taking it to go. I would also recommend calling ahead given the wait. I'm not sure why, but all the sandwiches are named after Tom Cruise's movies. There were a lot of nice options. I appreciated that the bread was crispy on the outside and soft on the inside and there was a nice ratio of meat to toppings. They also have an impressive variety of gourmet sauces that add a special "something something" to the sandwiches. The staff works hard and engages in light conversation to keep you entertained while you wait. read more

Well... they forgot one of our sandwiches. So that's a definite strike. In regards to the other food, we enjoyed our Firm sandwich and Greek pasta salad. Both were hearty portions. However, there is no inside seating at all and the parking is difficult as well. I like the concept on this restaurant but they need to get it together on orders and possibly expand. read more

Awesome breakfast sandwiches! Highly recommend coming here before work for breakfast to go.

Wow what a sandwich. Delicious! I had the vanilla sky and I can't wait to go back. All the sandwiches were Tom Cruise themed, for obvious reasons. The service was friendly, though a bit slow that day. But I will definitely be having lunch here often. read more

Found this Deli on a whim while we were waiting to board a river boat tour. There were various sandwich options as well as soups, deviled eggs, and dessert. We ordered a pastrami sandwich and it was PERFECT. Delicious and tasty with lots of layers of meat! The service was spectacular and we were given some samples of their soup. I would definitely recommend it if you're looking for a lunch but don't quite have the time to sit down at a restaurant. read more

Hi there! We are on our way out the door! Outstanding apartment- wonderful commitment to the Elvis theme! Outstanding commitment to the theme. I'm a big Tom Cruise fan (despite his science-insaneness in recent years and the awfulness of that tomb raider movie he did last year lol). From the menu item names, to the pictures on the wall, to a dvd of "The Firm" being on the tv at all times... exactly what you do when you own a place that was in a a movie once. Bravo. Not to be unmentioned the sandwich that I had was exceptional. Everyone must go here on their next trip through town. read more

This place is so close to being awesome. Many of the sandwiches are great with gourmet touches that elevate this sandwich shop above a lennys. For the issues, the lack of drink options and no tea! For the south this is unacceptable. Also the sub bread can be very dry and unappealing when it is not fresh. I have started only ordering sandwiches with the onion roll or rye. And finally it's a small shop that's fine so I have learned to call ahead with my order, but getting someone to answer the phone and having my order ready still seems to be a problem. I still really like this place, fix the drink issue and get better sub rolls and we are in business! read more

Best sandwich I have EVER had!! The sandwich master knows what's up! The mission impossible sandwich was sooo good. Bread was perfectly toasted. Meat was perfect. The honey mustard and the pesto mayonnaise was the cherry on top. All around great experience. read more

Stopped in here this morning and got the #2, pastrami, fried egg, and cheese on a croissant. This place is great. You can tell the quality of the deli meat a+!! Def recommend . read more

Second time I've tried this place. First time I ordered a salad and all my lettuce was brown. Took it back and the re did it. Today I ordered a breakfast sandwich and the left the fried egg off- the most important part!!! I was already home when I realized it. read more

I've eaten here twice, and have been very happy each time. Great food, friendly service and a little bit of Memphis history. I have ordered Mission Impossible and completely enjoyed it. read more

Got a buffalo chicken sandwich from the "sandwich master" today, and it lived up to it's preceded reputation. Great sandwich and was made quickly, and staff was very friendly. read more

I was not a sandwich person until I tried Front Street Deli. I ordered the Magnolia. They have a small selection of local beer and the sandwiches are named after Tom Cruise movies. I felt right at home sitting behind the window of this adorable deli. The hours are a little weird so double check. read more

I went on a food tour and this was the second stop on the tour. We ate Days of Thunder and it was so delicious we ended up getting pregnant. Which was a good thing because we were trying. I can't wait until I can eat Deli meat again and come back here. Thank you Front Street Deli. read more

Stopped in on the way from Downtown heading over to an A State Rugby game. It was perfect. "The Sandwich Master" was great, personable and explained a lot about the place. I am from this area originally and used to eat there 30 years when I lived and worked downtown. Today's Pastrami Sandwich (which had catchy name I don't remember) was delicious. I especially liked the crunchy banana peppers paired w the rest. And we had the Gumbo which was seasoned perfectly. Just the right stuff before a game on a very cold Mid-South day. read more

Visiting Memphis and came across this deli when another nearby eatery was closed. While the building was small (only three bar stools inside) there was some seating outside. Given the heat and humidity, we decided to get our food to go. We both ordered the Born on tbe 4th of July sandwich (chicken salad on a toasted croissant). It was delicious. The chicken salad was freshly made and had grapes, which I love. The menu, while not extensive, had enough variety to satisfy most people looking for a deli sandwich. Would visit again. read more

Stopped in on a food tour for the days of thunder sub. I don't usually like pastrami or tomatoes alone, but everything together tasted delicious. read more

Order your food an hour before you're hungry because that's how long it'll take these guys to pull their heads out of their butts. I ordered 3 sandwiches and took, not exaggerating, 55 min. read more

My wife and I were living in Memphis for a month, two blocks from Front Street and this Deli. Stopped in the first day for a fresh breakfast and loved all The Firm and Tom Cruise memorabilia. Stopped in a 2nd day, chatted with the owner both times while our sandwiches, excellent egg and bacon on a croissant, were being prepared. The next day, I walked into a burger bar and the Front Street Deli owner calls out my name, as I walked in, in a town where I was a stranger. The man is a Memphis ambassador. He and his partner welcome you, introduce you to other neighbors, and of course, it made me look at the lunch menu, which was just as good as the breakfast sandwiches. This little deli made our month in Memphis wonderful. read more

I called in a to-go order for myself and coworkers. When I asked for the order to be split into separate checks at the register an employee there looked up at me and said "really? Ugh!" He continued to express extreme frustration that I had asked for this and showed an attitude the entire time. I ended up having to pay for it all on one check regardless and on top of this they got the orders wrong. I will not be going back. read more

Went this morning to get a biscuit to take to work. One gentleman behind the counter does it all. I ordered a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit. The biscuit was dry and didn't have much flavor. The egg was cooked perfectly and was tasty. The bacon was sparse but crispy. Took over 5 minutes for him to prepare. It was quite pricey for a small breakfast biscuit. For my money I will go to Sunrise down the road for a great breakfast biscuit, 2x the size, for the same price. read more
