Loved the way placed. Loved the sandwiches the deli, I had the triple Decker don't remember what the name of it was, but the sandwich was phenomenal. The service in the deli was phenomenal the girl behind the counter and the gentleman behind the counter. We're incredibly attentive and customer orientation. The only issue I had was we bought the milk in the glass jar. It had an expiration of 3/21, but after we opened it, it was chunky and curdled on the inside and no, I am not talking about the little cream plug at the top. It was chunky throughout. However, the chocolate milk we got was fantastic. My family will return. read more

I really enjoyed this place and would love to come back and try different sandwiches! Such a good local spot. I love when the shop has a market with goodies to look at and choose from as well. There were so many options for sandwiches, and I love that the menu is based by meat - it makes it easier to sort through. Such a unique selection of drinks and chips as well. The service was great - the staff were so nice and quick to get us our food. It's an old-timey feel in there and a good place to chill or study. I can see why it was #1 when I searched for a lunch spot nearby! read more

Wonderful experience, delicious food, amazing service! Highly recommend giving this place a try if you find yourself in town.

Very good experience. Quaint little shop in historic downtown. Excellent selection of tea and coffee. Very good selection of lunch sandwiches. Order at the counter, take a seat, and lunch is brought to you. We were very pleased with our selections. While it is just a little pricey, the food was good enough that we will likely return especially when guests are visiting. read more

Let me add my name to the list of those praising Gardner's Market. If you want reliable, fresh, delicious, and reasonably priced food, go here! Not to mention, great service with friendly welcoming smiles and a unique atmosphere that makes this place the perfect spot for a good conversation over a great lunch. For our visit, we ordered a "Tea Sandwich" ($10) and a "Chicken BLT Sandwich" ($12). These are some of the best sandwiches we've had in our lives. I'm not exaggerating. Seriously, I couldn't stop gushing about them to family and friends. Every ingredient was very fresh and clearly high quality. Our meal was so good we came back the next day. The only downsides I'll note are that finding a place to park is difficult, which is not their fault. We ended up finding free parking at a parking lot located at 2nd Street and Worth Street. Secondly, there's no outdoor patio seating (would love if there was). Third, they no longer offer sprouts for their sandwiches. Lastly, be prepared for a small wait as they are making the food fresh. Regardless of all these considerations, we'll happily continue to visit and support Gardner's Market any time we're in town. read more

First thing I want to mention is that this place adds a 3.75% processing fee if you pay with a credit card. So bring cash and your spare change. Second thing I want to mention is that they don't offer free water here. But I asked the owner and he said you can bring your own drinks. Anyway, I arrived at 1:30 PM. If you have trouble pinpointing the exact place this restaurant is at, its the one with the "Earl's Restaurant" sign on it. There is no dedicated parking lot, so you'll need to park along the street (but thankfully, you don't have to pay to park [let's pray it stays that way]). This restaurant doubles as a general store, and they have plenty of things to purchase (teas, spices, baking mixes, puzzles, etc.). The place is also full of various knick-knacks that really help nail that old timey general store vibe. They also played old timey crooner kind of music and had a TV playing 3 Stooges episodes in the dinning room area. I ordered an Amish Chicken Sandwich, and for my side, I asked the cashier (who had some great sideburns) what his recommendation would be between the Loaded Potato Salad or the Pimiento Cheese, and he suggested the Loaded Potato Salad. I asked if the sides on offer are what they typically have, and he said that while they always have the Superfood Kale and the Loaded Potato Salad, the other sides will rotate. Regarding the bathroom situation, there's only 1 bathroom. It was in decent enough condition, though I think the sink was a little low to the ground (I had to crouch to wash my hands), but that's probably because that 1 bathroom is meant to accommodate all customers. And while the bathroom had both a hand blower and paper towels, I do wish the paper towels were perforated so that you could easily tear off some. My order took about 4 minutes to arrive, and it came with a pickle spear. The Loaded Potato Salad was thankfully not overly mayo tasting. In fact, you could taste practically everything in it, and it tasted good. As for the sandwich, I'm not much of a horseradish guy, but thankfully, the horseradish spread they used wasn't overpowering. The apple slices also gave the sandwich a nice crispiness, and overall, it was very delectable. For dessert, I got a Cinnamon Pecan Muffin. I was worried that it would either be too sweet because of the sugar topping or have too much cinnamon flavor. Thankfully, neither turned out to be the case. It ended up being a very tasty muffin. Overall, this was a fun place to have lunch. read more

Oh If I could give a 10 star review I would! The absolute best customer service...one of the best sandwiches I've had in a very long time. And let me RAVE about the fresh cucumber salad. I could've bathed in that dressing. (garlic for days!) I'm happy I found my "go-to" lunch spot when I travel into town for work. read more

It's my favorite place to eat. The vibes are very chill, all of the staff are wonderful and polite. I've never had a bad time there. The food is also very amazing and gives a homey feeling. read more

Let's look at the entire picture shall we? I went in ordering takeout and it's a good thing I did because my wife could never handle the smells of incense and such. Saying that, the food was absolutely DELICIOUS. We ordered 2 sandwich meals and devoured both of them. The BCB and The Amish. Amazing both of them. I chose this spot because Yelp gave it great reviews and said it was one $. $40 for two people for lunch IS NOT one $!!!!!! While we loved the sandwiches, I can't say we'll be back at this price. I know it's the economy so that shouldn't hurt these wonderful people. read more

This place we stumbled on ,on a rainy crappie cold January afternoon. It's a little piece of retro Americana. Coffee lunch stop. We were inspired to go by other photos and reviews. Walked in and it had an old little country store feel. Displaying all sorts of flavors of teas and little knick knacks. The Andy Griffith show playing on a tv in the back. I just stopped to absorb the atmosphere and remember the earlier times in U.S. history with friendly little hole in the wall restaurants. The food was delicious, the coffee outstanding, what a little hidden gem. read more

Way over priced and nothing for your return. Got a roast beef sandwich for $20 and it had little meat on it. Never again!

It's a fun little sandwich shop with eclectic items, different drinks, and a consistently delicious menu. All the food is fresh and made by hand from some of the warmest and kindest people. It's family owned and operated & the love really spills over into every interaction and every sandwich. I wish I could give 10 stars for this place. I highly recommend it to anyone local or visiting. read more

Consistently delicious food and beverages served by delightful employees and all in an intriguing environment. Wonderful tea selection. Just an overall pleasant and enjoyable experience with every visit! If you're looking for unusual shopping ideas for yourself or others this is THE PLACE to find things. A basket filled to the brim with eclectic goods would be a most welcome gift for anyone. read more

On our way to rafting at Ocoee, we stopped for lunch at Gardner's Market. So glad we did! Ambiance is a 10, so charming and unique inside. They have seating for 2 or more people at each table, many to choose from. Party of 2? Sit by the window and watch life go by. Super nice staff, quaint hometown feel. The Cuban was very moist, served on really fresh bread. The Manhattan was delicious as well. Prices were just over the $10 mark, sodas were $2-4, but so many cool ones to try that we've never heard of. So if you're going rafting or happen to be in Cleveland, GA/stop in! read more

The food is good, but the service is better! All the staff are so kind and funny. My son and I went the other day to get us a couple blackberry lemonades. My son said if he could give stars, he'd give 560 cause it's that good! Cute, quirky shop with amazing people and good food! read more

One Hot Club on sourdough is a top 5 sandwich I have ever had, cool little spot. The dried tomato pasta was amazing. This place is worth the stop, you will not be disappointed read more

Best sandwiches in the country! Yes I said the country. I have been all over the USA. I have had many sandwiches. It ranks among the best deli anywhere. Lots of hard to find sodas, games, puzzles and organic coffe as well. This is one of my regular places! A must try if you are anywhere near Cleveland. read more

Wow. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. Not because interior or exterior lowered my expectations in any way, but I've had potato salad a thousand times before. What's so special about a chocolate chip cookie or roast beef sandwich when it's such a common item? How special can it be? I don't know....but something about the way they make it makes me want to become a regular here. It was SO good. The potato salad is so creamy. The toasted bread is perfect. Everything was great! read more

The food is amazing. I have been going there for many years. You have a lot of food choices and the staff is helpful in helping you make choices. Try it. You will love it. read more

Great choices...some of the best handmade sandwiches you can get. Side Choices were good, and they got some crazy good drink choices like blueberry lemonade, hot teas, etc. I have no specific sandwich recommendations because you should try several different ones each time you come. Negatives are the prices are high (we had 4 people and it was almost $100), seating is limited on busy times, and bathrooms are not great. Those would usually drop a "star" for me", but I didn't want to detract from the great sandwiches. Everything else is spot on. read more

This place is exceptional, one of the best sandwiches I have ever had. The service is great, the store has a great window nook to eat in (if you're lucky enough to get it) which our son loved. I highly recommend going here, they have plenty of options and you won't leave hungry. Try the homemade cookies as well! read more

A cute quaint place downtown with friendly staff and with lots of sandwich choices! The turkey Philly was delicious!

Came here for lunch during the week. It's very busy so don't expect a quick bite. Also, don't expect a small bite. Thee sandwiches are huge and filling. Lots of side options and drink varieties. I love that my sandwich came with a pickle spear. read more

Staying nearby on vacation. Saw Gardner's on Yelp and it seemed like a place we would enjoy and we did. The staff/owners were super friendly, like a business that wants success and appreciates their customers would be. Our sandwiches were very good as was the sun dried tomato pasta salad. Only thing we'd do differently next time would be to order double meat or order a large sandwich made with the smaller sandwich bread. read more

Deli type restaurant located down town Cleveland. I liked the ambience of the inside that it brings out. Tables are made of glass that you can see coffee beans that fill the inside. I got here at a perfect time which was about 10:45 am and was only the second customer in the store. I placed my order and sat down at a table where they will bring it out to you when ready. At about 11am their customers really started coming in. I got the grilled turkey philly and you can see pictures I took. I was surprised of how good it was. The bread had been toasted just right for a turkey sandwich. It was a pretty good size sandwich too for the price. So, I thought it was a good value. I parked on the side street to the left of the restaurant facing the front. I was only there for about 30 minutes. In summary, the turkey philly sandwich was great, there was no problem parking and by the time I left, they were getting busy. My recommendation, come just before 11am to beat the busy lunch traffic here. read more

Stepping into Gardeners feels like you're walking into the 50's-- in the best way possible! It is a little on the pricier end, but the sandwiches are really filling. Some could even be two meals instead of one. The service is always amazing, although it sometimes takes 15-20 mins to get your food. If you go enough times, they'll learn your name! Free drink with a sandwich for college students. read more

My new favorite sandwich is "The Manhattan" - or should I say my favorite 1/2 sandwich is "The Manhattan", because I could only eat 1/2 of it. It's huge...and delicious. You should get one the next time you go to Gardners on Broad Street in Cleveland, TN. read more

The muffuletta was wonderful, the perfect size and the birch beer (root beer) was so good I purchased some for my husband and son to try. The market will remind you of Mayberry, it was a wonderful experience. Staff friendly as well. read more

This was such a nice little surprise. A hidden gem in a little mountain town. The staff was SO friendly and welcoming. Very helpful also. Really cute inside, with a little mini mart that offers coffees and teas to take home also. The interior was really cool also, with lots to look at and be entertained. The menu was straight forward and we really enjoyed our sandwiches. I got the BLT and my fiancé got the Reuben. We split them along with some potato salad(awesome!!) and strawberries. On the way out I got a wonderful little hot tea to go and it came with a free crumb cake that was delicious! Stop here if you're passing through! read more
