I am visiting a colleague and we ordered lunch from this Nashville staple. Talk about busy! This place was absolutely thrumming with activity when we stopped in a little before 12. We got 3 sandwiches between us and it took about 15 minutes from when we ordered online to when it was ready. The staff here is moving. The space is like a market where you can grab a drink or snack to fo with you sandwich if you would like. I grabbed a drink to go. This place has a lot of seating but not too much parking on-site or nearby so just keep this in mind if you plan to stop in. Definitely a solid option if you're craving a good deli sandwich - I got the chopped cheese and you can consider my life changed. read more

I went in on a Saturday morning right before 10am and there wasn't a large wait. I was super surprised to get easy parking and my food rather quickly! There were only about 5 others in the restaurant so it was quiet and quaint for a Saturday morning. I ordered the omelette with ham, American cheese, jalapeño, spinach and tomato. It was delicious. Great amount of toppings. Great flavor. read more

As far as delis in Nashville go, I have not found one better than this one. The food here is amazing across the board. Sandwiches, tacos, wraps, breakfast items, it doesn't matter what you order. I have yet to have a single thing here I didn't like. Amazing place, and I'm glad to see them expanding all over Nashville. Well deserved! read more

Ordered the breakfast BLT with a fried egg. Decent sandwich, yet it seemed to me that the sourdough bread was a bit too much. I ended up peeling off the entire crust. Good amount of bacon. $7 Parking could be difficult, yet I went mid-morning and there were plenty of spaces available. Plenty of dining tables. Order at counter. read more

Really quick service here even when there's a line! There are soooo many food options here and it also doubles as a little convenience store with drinks and snacks! I tried the BETA FETA (with no avocado and add grilled chicken). I now know why it comes with avocado because it was very dry. My fault for messing with the chefs creation. We also got the 51st deli club on ciabatta and that was amazing!! So tasty and moist and rich. Overall, great food! read more

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.

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. read more

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. read more

A true Nashville classic. I make it a point to frequent the 51st Deli West End location, but found myself in the Nations on a Sunday afternoon with a serious sandwich craving. This O.G. location definitely delivered. Parking is sparse, but you can snag a free street spot in the nearby neighborhood and walk over. We placed our order at the counter, and only had to wait about 10 minutes for our sandwiches. The tables were completely full when we arrived, but they turned over quickly and we were able to grab a seat. My husband and I typically order one hot sandwich and one cold sandwich and trade halves. This time, we went with the Chopped Cheese (my fave) and the Turkey Avocado (my second fave). Everything was fresh, flavorful, and filling. If you're not regularly eating at 51st Deli, it's time to change that! read more

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!!! read more

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. read more

I got to try 51st deli with some coworkers for lunch last week and it was delicious. I ordered a sandwich from the deli and their vision works fresh juice (it had carrots, pineapple, orange and turmeric). I was very impressed with the quality of food and the options. They even offer breakfast, a hot bar and coffee options. Plus they have a full wall of bottled drinks or other snacks to grab and go. Parking lot is small so you may need to park on the street and walk. read more

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. read more

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. read more

Incredible selection with everything we tried, everything was way above average which is impressive with how much you can choose from

Once upon a time, I gave 51st Deli a very rare 5-star review. Sadly, I can no longer say that this is a go-to place. I get that there can be a bad day, but today was the fourth time in a row that I have had a sad sandwich. Lately, the bread has been a little stale and the sandwiches have been lacking flavor. Today I got home, unwrapped my sandwich and found that my Turkey AVOCADO sandwich was missing the avocado and the pickled onions. So basically I received an overpriced turkey sandwich that I had to add mustard, salt & pepper, red onions and avocado from my own fridge. I guess that's a sign that I should have just saved the $30 for two sandwiches and made my own at home. The quality just is not there. So sad. read more

Manger was very rude. I explain to him I may have order the wrong sandwich and ask if I could paid for the sandwich I wanted . He was very rude and disrespectful. They is a such thing as customer service read more

This place was so good! Highly recommend. We happen to stumble across this place and glad we did. It was sooo good! Husband had the omelette, daughter had the biscuit and I had a breakfast sandwich. Fast too. Wish we discovered them sooner because would have loved to try more. Clean too. read more

Excellent deli and breakfast spot that also has a large variety of beverage offerings - literally hundreds of them in coolers that surround the dining area, it's pretty cool. We've been numerous times and every time they deliver consistently great sandwiches and salads. My favorite is their chopped cheese sandwich, but their pastrami is also great. They also offer tacos and burritos as well as Açaí bowels/smoothies. Service is average but quick. Be prepared to wait if you go during peak times, it is packed for lunch almost every day. read more

51st Deli is perfect for a quick in & out meal but also great if you need a cool space to hang with some friends. It has an easy set up where you order your food at the cashier & you select your beverage/chips from the coolers on the walls which is great because this place stays packed! If you come and it's a line, don't hesitate because the line moves fast and the food comes out fast. Highly recommend read more

This was a good find. They have a good variety of sandwiches on the menu, as well as tacos, breakfast, a number of side dish and salad options, and more. From the outside this place looks almost like it might be a dive bar. But don't be fooled! This is a good spot for a meal any time of day. So far my favorite has been The Cuban sandwich. The pork was tender and juicy, and the overall flavors were great. I've also had The Legend sandwich, which was good, though the roast beef wasn't super tender. The staff is helpful, and the food gets prepared quickly. Definitely a good place when you need a quick meal. They have tables both inside and out, and of course you can also get your food to go if you want. Overall a solid sandwich (and breakfast) spot that I'll definitely visit again. read more

This deli is absolutely amazing--hands down one of my favorites. I'm a big fan of almost everything on their menu, and if I'm not, it's probably because I haven't tried it yet. The breakfast burritos (pictured) and tacos are fantastic, and the West Nasty sandwich is a standout. They also nail the classics, like their Turkey Club on sourdough--simple but absolutely brilliant. Both locations are excellent, but I definitely prefer the OG spot on 51st Ave. That said, the Vandy/West End location is just as good. Pro tip: Try ordering ahead through DoorDash for pickup. My lunch is always ready when I arrive, and they do a great job making the pick up pretty much an in and out process. It's quick and easy. read more

I've been here several times now and I just haven't had anything that special yet. They recommend the west nasty all the time and while it is good, it's not knock your socks off good. I would give it a 4 out of 5. I don't find the portion sizes to be huge either. I had a Rueben and fries yesterday. I would give that a 3 star. Nashville has a lot of great sandwich places so average isn't going to cut it anymore in this town! read more

I don't usually leave negative reviews, but I was pretty disappointed with this order. I paid $23 for a single burrito through Uber Eats. I did use priority delivery and it arrived in about 10 minutes, so this doesn't seem like a delivery issue. Unfortunately, the bacon was unevenly cooked, very rubbery, raw in some pieces, and I wasn't able to finish the burrito. For the price, I was expecting better quality. read more
