FatBelly Pretzel Bakery & Deli

Hands down the best sandwiches we’ve ever had! We ordered the Kdub, Hamma Mia, pepperoni pretzel, and Mac n cheese. Every single thing was absolutely amazing, and all the flavors worked SO well together. The staff was also incredibly welcoming. Definitely recommend stopping here during your Nashville trip!!

Wonderful deli in East Nashville! We ordered the Cuban sandwiches, the famous Brutus dip and pretzels. The pretzels come with different dips. The Cuban sandwich was delicious. The slow cooked pork is extremely flavorful. The staff at the deli are extremely warm and hospitable. Definitely recommend for a delicious lunch and or snacks!

I’ve ordered from Fat Belly Pretzel & Deli twice now—once in person and once via delivery—and overall I’ve been underwhelmed, especially for the price. I usually prefer to make my own sandwiches because it’s hard to find a really good one from a restaurant. That said, I’m currently sick and decided to order delivery and give this another shot since so many people rave about these sandwiches. Across the sandwiches I’ve tried, the flavors are dominated by the pretzel bread itself. Unfortunately, the pretzel bread lacks much flavor and has a somewhat bland, almost papery texture, which ends up overpowering everything else. Most of what comes through is pretzel bread and a lot of mustard, and the fillings don’t really shine. It ultimately felt like something I could have easily made at home—and likely done better—which is disappointing given the cost and hype. Our recent delivery order was also frustrating from a value standpoint. We ordered the mac and cheese for $5.25; while it was good, the portion was unnecessarily small and didn’t even fill the container. It’s pasta and cheese, so the portion-to-price ratio felt especially off. When we went in person, the staff was very friendly, which I appreciated. I also tried one of the sweet pretzel pastries previously and found it leaned overwhelmingly pretzel-forward with very little sweetness, despite the description. Overall, this place feels overpriced for what you get, and delivery in particular felt skimped while still charging full prices. With so many strong sandwich options in Nashville, this just didn’t stand out enough for us to return—especially for delivery.

Stopped into Fatbelly after hearing amazing things and it do NOT disappoint! The Lorraine Brocco sandwich was the perfect blend of flavors and textures! The Ojai salad was also perfection and had all the toppings you could ever want on a salad. The Cherry cheese danish was also the perfect sweet treat to top it all off. The staff was super friendly and accommodating to my modifications (sauces/drizzles on side). Can’t wait to come back and try more!

Found on instagram before our trip to Nashville.. Amazing Experience! Long line when we entered but the line moved fast. The staff is very friendly, shop is clean, and food is so good. They even added personality to the bathrooms. This Louisiana girl had to give the Muffuletta a try and it’s the best I’ve had outside of New Orleans. We also loved the desserts.
