51st Deli Charlotte Pike – Fresh Sandwiches, Soups, and Desserts in Nashville, TN

My first time eating here and nothing to complain about. Friendly and fast service. The menu has lots of sandwich options. There are also a lot of packaged dessert. Overall the turkey club was average. I would order something different next time. My daughter had the tuna salad sandwich and she said it was average as well.

Big improvement from the business that used to occupy this building. Charlotte Pike always needs some good additions to the local restaurant scene and we are glad to see them here! It’s winter here in middle Tennessee and we were looking for a business in the Nashville area that had a good pastrami sandwich. The 51st Deli has it covered. Great sandwich! The Reuben sandwich was pretty good but the pastrami will be are go to going forward. The soup station looked interesting including chili and three other choices. This place reminded me of Buckees with all the choices they have breakfast, lunch, coffees, a wall of drinks, items behind a refrigerated glass counter and a selection of desserts! Helpful and friendly employees!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 51st Deli on Charlotte Pike is hands down the best location! It was my first visit, and everything—from the food to the service—was absolutely EXCELLENT. Steve was incredibly kind and attentive, setting a welcoming tone that carried through the entire staff. Everyone there seemed happy to be part of the experience, and it made dining in even more enjoyable. What a fantastic place—can’t wait to come back! Just a beautiful place.

I went here specifically to try the Italian Meatball sandwich, it is so hard to find a good meatball sub, and this one definitely didn’t disappoint! There were a lot of meatballs and a great amount of cheese, perfectly melted. It was so good! They also have a huge selection of drinks, snacks, a large soup station, pastries, and a large salad bar! Everything looks so fresh, I will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Amid the ever-turning wheel of city streets, Where travelers seek both shade and sustenance, There comes a humble house of bread and spice— The 51st, now dwelling near the pines of Charlotte. At last I crossed its welcoming door, And found the echoes truer still than dream: Hands that craft with quiet care and heart, Tables graced with labor’s earnest fruit. A BLT, crisp and sure, sang of the morning sun, A Reuben, rich and deep, spoke like a seasoned hymn, And carne asada fries—heaped and glowing— Bore the joy of feasts both simple and profound. O Nashville, bless this place and let it stand— A refuge where the hurried find their peace, And every bite recalls the poet’s truth: That joy, like bread, is best when shared with grace.

Absolutely incredible. I came in for a Reuben sandwich and was taken aback by how many food options there are. I'm so excited to try every single thing. Their floor to ceiling drink options are amazing, I got a recess calm drink! They have walker brothers kambucha which is my favorite local drink. They have coffee, breakfast, tacos, salad bar, pastries, sandwiches, fresh soups, I'm going to stop here bc it wood take me all day to list them. Fresh fruit and juices! Incredible!!
