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."

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.

Everything else we ordered was good too. The service was great as well. The waiter was ready to answer any and all questions we had. I loved all the paintings and Filipino decor. One thing that might be tricky is where you enter. We entered first through the market side and were confused as to whether or not it was a restaurant. The restaurant is connected to the store. We later found out there was another entrance on the other side that went right into the restaurant.

For whatever reason, I thought it would be an order at the counter type of place. The interior was vibrant and colorful, and the weight staff was friendly and efficient. I ordered chicken adobo with Pancit and pork lumpia with a side of rice. The lumpia and pancit was tasty but the chicken adobo was the start of the show. My taste buds were in heaven! The pieces of chicken were on the smaller end but the taste of the gravy was just wonderful and rich. I enjoyed every bite. Also in the back of the restaurant they have baked items and some other Asian grocery items for purchase. A must try if your enjoy Filipino food.

Love: service (kind & helpful); hot bar - (broccoli noodles- flavorful, cooked just right; bbq chicken - tasty cream sauce; crab rangoon - crispy, pairs well with sweet sauce)

International Market has a wonderful, rich history, and food that was impressive to match! I was…read moresurprised by some of the unique options on the menu, namely, the fried chicken, which sometimes sells out. Fortunately, our friend made sure to reserve a dish for us when she made our reservation! I'm so glad she did, because I would have never thought to order a fried chicken at a Thai restaurant, but it was perfectly crispy, expertly done, especially considering it was gluten-free! I love pad Thai, so I was a bit disappointed that it was taken off the menu on the day that we went, but it seems like they rotate and change their specials pretty regularly. The service was great; it is a semi casual place, so it's quite comfortable and laid-back while the food experience is phenomenal! I will say it is a bit pricey for what you're getting and considering the fact that it is a more casual place, but nonetheless phenomenal for dinner service.

When a spot crafts everything from scratch, running out of popular cuts is just a sign of quality. We got to chat with the owner, Connor (who named the shop after his 5-year-old son, Jack), and he couldn't have been more welcoming. He steered us toward the Country BLT, loaded with house-smoked pork belly, thick-cut bacon, jalapeños, green goddess dressing, and fresh veggies. It was truly amazing. Served on a dark wheat sub sourced from local Charpier's Bakery, it held up perfectly--smoky, rich, and layered with incredible flavor and crunch. I'm still thinking about that sandwich! We also tried the Roast Beef, lightly smoked and stacked with Swiss, grilled onions, pickles, and peppercorn mayonnaise. It was so phenomenal that someone in our group actually claimed it as their favorite over the pork belly! It was fantastic talking shop with Connor about his future plans and vision for the place. Jack's Deli is such an incredible addition to the Donelson food scene. The menu and the breads are unique and wonderful and change often, which makes return trips all the better. Run, don't walk, to try this place before the lines are stretched all the way down Old Lebanon Pike!

That being said, and maybe it's the New York in me, this is the BLANDEST chicken I've ever had in my life. No seasoning whatsoever. I couldn't finish it because it was almost like eating plain boiled chicken. No char. Not even a hint of pepper, much less any other spices. The street fries were good, however. Hot and crisp. Prices decent, most dishes in the 10-12 dollar range. Six bucks might be a little expensive for the fries, but you get a large amount. One coworker didn't care for her pork pita (she thought it was chewy), but everyone else liked their various dishes (mostly rice bowls). I really try to not leave negative reviews, as everyone out here is just trying their best, but I just don't think I've ever had chicken I could describe as anemic and insipid.
