One of my favorite go-to meals is a classic sandwich, and Nashville has plenty of places serving up decent options. But where can you find the best sandwiches in Nashville? Here are the City Cast Nashville team’s favorites!
This East Nashville favorite hits the spot every time. It’s a classic Reuben, but it comes on a pretzel bun, which somehow elevates an already great sandwich concept to the heavens. It comes with chips, but I pay extra for the potato salad to create a perfect meal. —Whitney Pastorek
I love all the sandwiches at Little Hats Market, but the Spicy Italian is my favorite. With capicola, Calabrese salami, pepperoni, and fontina, it’s got the perfect bite to it, with Calabrian mayo to help soften the spice. Get it with a Mexican Coke, and you’ve got the perfect lunch. The gluten-free focaccia is excellent. Little Hats has three locations, but my kid likes to go to the one in Cool Springs, which has an outdoor play area. —Margaret Kingsbury
I’m still sampling all the sandwiches at this new Italian deli in Wedgewood-Houston, but so far, the Sneaky Italian Turkey is my favorite. All their sandwiches are giant — I get two meals out of them — and I love the soft stracciatella and sun-dried tomatoes. Ingrassia has the best gluten-free bread in Nashville. This was my favorite bite of 2025! —MK
I was a little nervous ordering this monstrosity, but after our EP Whitney Pastorek sang its praises, I’m glad I tried it. I’ve truly never had anything like it. It’s messy in the best way, tangy, rich, and wildly flavorful. Perfect for a day when you want to drink a cold beer, demolish something indulgent, and then go home for a nap. —Marie Cecile Anderson
Go spend your hard-earned cash and order the delicious Salmon BLT from my family’s favorite hangout, Green Hills Grille. It comes with a huge piece of salmon, generous bacon, and chipotle mayo! C’mon, does it get any better than that? —MCA
Reader Favorites
I asked City Cast Nashville readers what their favorite sandwiches in Nashville were, and Gisele C. shouted out Bill's Sandwich Palace. “I always feel luxurious consuming a grandiose, flavorful sandwich from the Palace, with a constant rotation of options!” she says, adding that it’s great for out-of-town guests. Deb H. says Mitchell Delicatessen in East Nashville serves the best sandwiches.
