Noshville, was a disappointment. I hate to start this review like this, but it's the truth. My service was good, the atmosphere was good, the veggie soup was good, but my sandwich was something I'd except from a poorly run sandwich vendor at our local baseball arena. No flavor is my largest complaint with the food. The veggie soup was good, but nothing I couldn't get at neighboring Panera or Whole Foods. The grilled chicken sandwich came out with plain while bread, unseasoned chicken, tomatoes and lettuce. Not much to write home about despite all the wonderful things I've head about the place. The fries were... meh at best. Yes, you heard me right "meh". Meh means...well I'll eat it, but I'm not excited about it. The owners/managers were very nice, the building was funky and had a neat atmosphere, the service was good, but food is the name of the game here people! The food was bland at best and thats why the 2 star rating is making a debut here. Perhaps I should have had a cake or ordered something else... who knows, but I will not return since so many other good restaurants reside within walking distance. Better luck for those of you who head Noshvilles way.

Great place. Great food, great atmosphere and the servers are kind and offer great service. I only recomend not eating the salsa. Little too sweet for my taste.

Decent deli joint! I went to college in NY and have missed NY Deli's and the deliciousness that they offer. I came here for lunch with some colleagues and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Kinda diner-y. Service was good, a little slow but it was lunchtime so that's what ya get. I ordered a salad, tomato soup, and a turkey sandwich - the soup was amazing. Great little lunch spot.

I went in late around 130, they close at 230. I ordered the 2 2 2 french toast. Way to much food. But very good. Wait staff is always warm and inviting. Thank you Noshville for being a staple here in Nashville.

Slow. Very slow. Friendly, but very slow. Hospitable, but slow. Food is pretty good, but not worth all the waiting: waiting for your server to show up, waiting for your food to arrive, waiting for your water to be refilled. They are very nice. The food is pretty good. They are extremely slow. I wasn't in a hurry but after I realized that lunch was taking longer than an hour I became concerned that my very life was being stolen from me. Go to the Broadway location - they are pros.

We stopped here for the first time a couple of days ago for lunch and the food and service were both really good. We decided to stop for breakfast on our way out of town and try the breakfast. Very good. They have multigrain pancakes and turkey sausage for those of us who don't eat red meat and "try" to limit white flour. But my husband and I splurged and got a cinnamon roll to go! Yum! Will go again next time in Nashville.

Great sandwiches and I love pickles! This is a much easier location to get to that the downtown location but you do lose the ambiance that is associates with the Nashville spot. Hot pastrami sandwich is my bread and butter and no one is better. I would give it 5 stars but I have to comment on the service. Slower than most places, and not as friendly. I know it's a Nee York deli but we are in Nashville so customer service is king!

Everything about this place was one star (except our server who was VERY nice and attentive)......I have been to the other location for lunch and it was a better experience but still nothing to rave about. This time I went for breakfast.....had the "amazing french toast" which was bland at best. The coffee was horrible (and I am by no means a picky coffee drinker) and my mom's meal was also horrible. Her eggs were cold and tasted worse than those on buffet at a cheap hotel. In short - don't waste your time or money. No matter who tells you it's a Nashville staple.

After writing this place off after years as loyal customers, we went back for breakfast recently. Talk about going from bad to worse. We decided to play it safe by ordering breakfast. Big mistake. The ole fluffy omelettes were now flat, prefab jobs ... frozen and nuked, probably ... last straw for us.

Good atmosphere like the style. Big menu with lots of options. Waiter was social and upbeat. Good fresh coffee. Eggs were light and fluffy, seasoned well. Pancakes were fantastic and large. Great portion to price ratio. Toast was a bit tuff. Tried the chicken soup, strong flavor butter aftertaste. Overall good place.

I like Noshville, I really do. The sandwiches are always really good and I'm a big fan of their potato pancakes. Normally we head to the midtown location; however, needing to swing by Green Hills Mall led us to the location nearby for breakfast this past weekend. My husband's western omelet was good from what he said and my spinach and bacon omelet with pepper jack cheese was enourmous and tasty. Of course my side with the silver dollar potato pancakes which, much to my husband's chagrin I did not share. While I feel that the omelet prices are justifiable for the large portions, sides and toast, a couple of things just got to me..... Hubby and I decided to share a side of bacon. With a $3.50 price tag I was astounded to only get three strips! But that wasn't nearly as much of a sticker shock as what his large glass of orange juice cost..... Brace yourself - it was $4.50!! I nearly fell over. Seriously? For real? You have GOT to be kidding me! That was outrageous. So whether I enjoy the food there for breakfast or not, it was way too much for my meager pocketbook. Without tip, this meal set us back almost $40 bucks! For two omelets, toast, potato pancakes, coffee, juice and a side of bacon.... Sigh..... It would be better if I smuggled in my own bacon and a juice box, but barely. So I'd give 'em four starts for food but a meager two for the price gouging which I will round to three overall. Even if we win lotto, I won't be back for breakfast.

The quality of their take out has declined. Slow delivery, orders wrong, small portion sizes...it's a shame, because they used to be one of my favorite places. I used to be a big fan of the soup/sandwich combo, but their "1/2 sandwich" has gotten so small I can hardly justify spending the money.

Bruce R.
I've eaten at all Noshville locations over time and tonight ate dinner at 21st location. Overall great service. Some good food but i specifically asked how their pastrami was and the waitress said it was very good. Well, i ordered a pastrami on rye. Very very disappointing. Very very fatty and filled with chewy gristle. Sandwhich fell apart. Could only eat about 1/3 of the sandwich. From now on, i will have to try the corned beef. I measure pastrami quality and flavor against Katz's in NY.

Hey - look here! See what I did? I had breakfast at Noshville (Midtown) and now I've had lunch at Noshville (Green Hills)! I'm a player! - and a fair one at that. A business meeting took me to Green Hills today, so I wanted to check out the Noshville counterpart for lunch. This was a combined opportunity: give Noshville another chance and (hopefully) find another convenient lunch spot. Today, it was packed. (I'm told that's always the case.) But, luck was on my side and we were seated in a corner booth by a very friendly hostess (WITH A SMILE) and we were swiftly served water and menus. I chose to keep it simple: the Cobb Salad. Well, I have to say this was among the best salads I've had! Great presentation: colorful, fresh, generous content. I could not have asked for more. And the flavors were all very good. Nice mixture of meat, crispy bacon, TART blue cheese ..and an avocado taste that simply popped! Nice "recovery", Noshville. A very good lunch!

I met my cousin at the Noshville Green Hills location this morning for a fun Valentine's Day brunch. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. We had excellent service and they were handing out flowers to all the ladies in honor of Valentine's Day. If it wasn't for such excellent care I would probably have given this place 2 stars based upon flavor. I can't believe I paid $40 for us to get plain old lunch meat on regular old bread. I would have much rather visited the organic section of Publics and made paninis at the house. I got the Turkey Rueben and it was so poorly seasoned that I all I could taste the gaminess of the Turkey. There was a very thin layer of sauerkraut and they served some thousand island on the side. You know it's bad when you are eating rye bread and sauerkraut and it is still not enough to cover up the gaminess of the meat. Fries were nothing special at all. All I can say is that everyone is so nice that I hope they continue to stay in business but not enough that I will eat there again.

Noshville emerges victorious from this spot on Hillsboro Drive. I mean I've only been in town 8 years, but there were so many restaurant's that came and went in this sad little location. Definitely one of those cursed places they talk about. The only one I really remember is the dog named place -- Jack Russell's? Anyway, Noshville came in, totally redid the spot and boom. Next thing you know, its neighbor Green Hills Grille has up and moved to the mall in another (yes) cursed spot that had housed the Cooker and Fire of Brazil or whatever. And now, sadly, Green Hills Grille closed. I would say the midtown location of Noshville is a bit more fun. This is definitely your Green Hills and Belle Meade crowd. I did see Wynonna one time in for lunch! Love the Judds. Anyhow, it's a deli. Good breakfast, good sandwiches. I'm a tuna melt kind of guy so I'm good here. Probably a good change of pace compared to some other Green Hills places. I guess the Hill Center has improved lunch options in the area; I just remember never thinking of any place I wanted to go in Green Hills for lunch.

Here's a pretty strong little deli. I haven't been to the one on Broadway, so can only tell you how I feel about the one in Green Hills. As much as I dislike spending too much time in the Green Hills area, this is one of the better places in the city to get a damn fine brisket, Reuben or virtually any other deli-style sandwich you're into. I used to valet at Noshville, but I can tell you it's absolutely ridiculous to let a valet park your car here. The lot is always half-empty, typically with a few empty spots withing thirty feet of the front door. Regardless, the food is great and the service tends to be good. They have a breakfast menu packed with a lot of really tasty items, including griddle cakes and several styles of omelette. Prices at Noshville aren't too bad. You can have a very satisfying meal for around $10, and it won't take the staff ages to seat and serve you. Their menu is really expensive, and they even have just about every type of juice imaginable. If you can think it up, they can make it. While Noshville certainly doesn't top Mitchell as my favorite deli in the city, it comes pretty close. Go. Have a nosh. Enjoy!

It's sad that so many Nashvillians actually think this is deli food; if this was New York, they'd have been stoned out of business long ago. And it's no wonder that their health rating is usually in the gutter. The tomatoes are always the cheapest, mealiest in town. Half the time the pickles were frozen and end up mushy. The latkes (potato pancakes) are usually grey from sitting out too long, and that's just breakfast. I really really wish Nashville had one great Jewish deli. Then again, I wish Nashville had one great Chinese restaurant too. It's a pity, because we certainly have a large enough population to support both.

It's an overpriced eatery for mostly frozen products and an okay sandwich. It's got nothing on a real "big-city" Delicatessen. I would say it's not something you need to visit while searching for a quality sandwich.

Bess R.
Went to the (new?) location in Franklin (I think, in town visiting) this weekend for lunch. My friend and I split a turkey reuben and tomato-basil pie (in the veggie section). The pie was really cheesy and tasty. Reuben was okay - not very much meat or sauerkraut though. Fries weren't bad, but weren't great. Definitely not an authentic NY deli, but not bad.

Great food, good service. My portions were enough, not too much but not to little. Coffee was good and wait staff was attentive. I will definitely come back to try other things on the menu. It all looked really good

What makes Noshville special isn't the food. Don't get me wrong; it's fine. The real value in Noshville comes from the people, both the staff and the customers. I swear they must use the same hiring practices as Apple. The servers are generally very cheerful and attentive. As for the clientele, you can pick pretty much any morning of the year and bear witness to several power breakfasts going on there. The heavy hitters in town just love this place, and it's got its share or regulars who make it feel like a breakfast version of Cheers. Parking can get a little tight during busy times, but there are additional spaces across the street.

This place is overpriced for the portions/quality of the food. I only went here because my boss wanted to go here and he was paying. The food was ok in quality, I had a Reuben and it was well made albeit a bit small. The service...well if there's one thing authentically New York, it'd be the wait staff. Our server called me weird for ordering the egg cream soda.

So we gave Noshville's online ordering system a go. When I showed up 10-15 minutes later to pick up the order, their system was apparently messing up and I had to reorder it but did not have to repay. So then I waited another 10-15 minutes. Once I got back to the office and opened up my curry chicken salad, it was the smallest amount of lettuce I have ever seen in a restaurant salad! I am sure the fact that it was in a plastic to-go container and not in a bowl may have made it look a little smaller but there was seriously so little lettuce. And the lettuce that was there was quite obviously the bottom of the bag type of stuff, as I had to set several pieces aside because they had those dark green slimy edges. The toppings and chicken of the salad were fine and more plentiful and they gave me a ton of dressing which was very good (the honey sesame ranch). My co-worker's Reuben was just ok and a bit too crusty on the edges and his fries were chewy and not fresh in the least. Even his fruit cup was lacking. I had not been to Noshvile in ages and thought I would check it out again and because of its proximity to my work, hope to eat there frequently. Well I won't be trying it again anytime soon. I could have gotten a larger salad at Wendy's right down the street for a few dollars less (ganted Wendy's salads are not the freshest, but neither was Noshville's today), also I am still hungry.

Wesley R.
I ordered the "rare roast beef" and was surprised when it came out. The server asked if everything was okay and I said this is not rare(It was brown with a touch of pink). She replied "I told them they should take rare off the menu because we never get it in any more". The 2nd star was because she offered another sandwich and even looked to see if they had any that was less done. However it would have been nice to know that info before ordering.

Black & white cookies and mimosas: The perfect post-race meal. The friendly staff of Noshville were able to take care of all my needs after I ran the local half marathon. The food was definitely average, but the menu was broad, the service was quick, and the place was packed. I left satisfied, full, and with a few racially ambiguous treats that made the return trip with me to Chicago.

A nice alternative to Waffle House or Denny's for a hangover recovery, Noshville usually gets me through the Sunday mornings of a long weekend visiting Nashville. Is it authentic NY deli food? Not quite, but considering you're in the middle of Tennessee, it's not a bad attempt. One of the drawbacks to Noshville is the fact that it seems to have a huge local following. I've never been when I didn't have to wait a while for a table or my food. The wait has never been atrociously long, but the waiting area is just as crowded as the rest of the restaurant so it's not the most comfortable spot. And there's nowhere to wait outside, especially if the weather is bad. As for the food, I stick with the breakfast items...usually because I want lots of bread and grease to counteract the beer from the night before. The silver dollar potato pancakes are a refreshing switch from my Waffle House hash browns, and the blintzes have been good as well. Again, it doesn't compare to the diners and delis you'll get up north, but Noshville will keep you going if you're getting tired of cowboy hats and spurs at breakfast.

I have been to the location on Broadway several times now, and happened to be driving by here, and hungry at the same time so I thought I'd give it a shot. The atmosphere was pretty similar to the one on Broadway, and I mean that in a good way. I felt like you could sit there and enjoy your food and nobody else would really give a damn. Good cafe feel to it. The portions are large, as they are at Broadway. I am a sucker for their french toast. Huge slices of bread, and tasty butter and syrup.

We came here and got a club sandwich and a spanish omelette. Both were not good. The club sandwich tasted as if it was made days before with the meat almost dried out on the edges. The meat and cheese was rolled up and put in the sandwich making it impossible to even bite into to. I had to take the entire sandwich apart to unroll the meat and cut it to fit in my mouth. I just wanted to eat the sandwich! Not do surgery! The omelette had "spanish" sauce which tasted like sugar and salsa mixed together and warmed up. I would highly NOT recommend this. It tasted like cherry topping. Very disappointed and not a good value for your money. :( Parking was lame.

The first time I went to the Green Hills Noshville I was worried it wouldn't be as good as the original. I was wrong! It, like the Midtown location, has a small parking lot but I've always been able to find a place. Unlike the Midtown location though it does have a patio that is great in the Spring and Summer months. If you're not familiar with Noshville in general you are truly missing out. I'm an advocate of their 4.99 breakfast that includes: two eggs any way; either fruit, silver dollar potatoes or oatmeal (until 11:00am); and a choice of a bagel or toast. When it comes to lunch the Chef's Salad, Vegetarian Vegetable salad and Cheeseburger are all favorites of mine. I actually had my last birthday dinner here for the purpose of celebrating with their delicious Red Velvet cake. Their desserts in general are the best, but be sure to call ahead if your heart is set on one. They always have their New York Style cheesecake and slice it in true "American" portions. If you don't want to drive all the way to Midtown, this is definitely a good alternative, but don't assume that it will be empty during peak hours!

I like this place for lunch. The Tennessee Club is one of my favorite clubs around. And I like the diner decor. However, I had the "World Famous" meatloaf, and I am not sure what it is famous for. Hard to get into sometimes, but a solid place nonetheless.

Went there last Sunday to meet some girlfriends for brunch. It really does feel like you are in the big city ordering good, quick food in a Jewish deli. I had the veggie omelet with egg beaters - side of silver dollar potato cakes. GREAT coffee. I love the portions (big), the freshness, and the taste. I have only gone there for brunch and highly recommend it!!

We aren't familiar with the Green Hills area, and we were driving down the road discussing where we wanted to go for lunch, when we saw the Noshville sign. That turned out to be an easy decision. My wife and I shared her bowl of Matzah Ball soup, and it was very good. Our waiter suggested the Reuben sandwich, so I gave it a try. It was good enough to want to come back for another one sometime, but not before I try their Monte Cristo sandwich.

It's nice to go a local breakfast lunch place in green hills and eat good food and meet the locals . They have a great kosher menu that I love . The place has feel of a 1950 soda shop to it and I love that about it . If you looking for a place for breakfast or lunch in green hills I recommend this place. You should try them out.

Beth G.
I knew it! The location serves larger portions. It's true. Plus their fries are thicker and the Matzo Ball soup is consistent. We live equa distant from the original and this one. The portions were larger here. Also our server was amazing and so was everyone there at the Green Hills location. This is NOT to say the servers at the Vandy location are not stellar, however they are so busy and the Green Hills peeps had more time for us. My son and I go or the soup when we are sick and sandwich to take home for later when we know we will be hungry but just to flipping tired to cook. I know bad MOM, but whatever gets you thru the day to feed your kids. The clientele are usually more family oriented where as the downtown one is more professionals and students and musicians. Always fun to watch. Neither are better. On Saturday's both are the same. Again. I love both! Miss the Chicken in the Pot bc it was so good but the Chicken soup is so nice to have made for you when your MOM is not around. We also had the NY Chocolate egg creme. No egg involved. Not exactly the same but you get what you can. Normally ALWAYS get a Reuben but this time, just the soup. Reuben never disappoints except it used to be bigger which I stated last review. Since it is basically our only deli, we love it. Someone please tell me when there is another deli in town. Love the soup and Reubens. Take away on this. Green Hills Noshville Rocks and has bigger fries and Matzo balls are bigger.

First time here, may go back if we are in the neighborhood. I had the Reuben Sandwich, waiter bragged about them. Taste was good but the corned beef, what little was on the Sandwich was tough. Wife had Grilled Chicken on Sour Dough and it had a table spoon of what looked like finely chopped chicken but it tasted ok. I thought the potato cakes were dry but I have only had mine before this. Waiter was great. I thought sandwiches were small for a true DELI!

This place has really good bagels and it turns out their bagels come from Bronx. So real new York bagels in nashville! Thumbs up for that! You can place sleeves of bagels here too and they come straight from new york. I really enjoyed the potatoe cakes (side). They are crispy and tasty, just the right amount of salt and whatever spices they use. I literally ate a whole plate of them. Yum. The service was very good. The typical diner environment. I'd say it's a little pricy wi the most of the breakfast items are around $10 to 11 a plate.

Stopped in for lunch today around 2 PM during a visit from Chicago. Cute place but the service was pretty poor. Our server was not very helpful. When asked if we could split an order of the potato pancakes, he flat out said, "no" and later explained that their fryer was not working. He also stated that we were lucky to get the last of the fries with our sandwiches! The food itself was okay but not really memorable at all. Also, when my friend asked to order a milkshake at the counter, the clerk again said "No. Sorry. I just closed out my cash drawer. I'm really sorry!" Other employees had their coats and bags on looking like they couldn't wait to leave. Does this place really want to sell food??? Seems questionable to me... Overall, pretty disappointing. :(

First and last time coming to this place. I have been to the other 2 locations in Cool Springs and Music Row and had good experiences but this was not good. Let's start with $2.50 for unsweetened ice tea. Really, $2.50 for ice tea? I ordered the Turkey Reuben. It was not grilled long enough and there was not enough kraut. The fries were soggy and under-cooked. Paid 17 bucks for lunch and was disappointed. Not a happy camper!

If you've never been to a NYC deli, you might like this. I eat here once every 5 years HOPING one day they'll get it. As of yesterday, they surely never will. It's quite perplexing because the right model exists. Copy it.

4 of us were there for Breakfast on a Sunday morning...11:30:ish waited about 10 minutes for a table. The waitress was pleasant enough and brought beverages quickly and took our order. and we waited...and waited..and we know it was a Sunday morning, and when she realized we were getting anxious, she told us our food should be out shortly. It arrived, some hot food was hot and some hot food was lukewarm. The eggs were tasteless. The Monte Cristo Sandwich was almost blackened and, along with the french fries, tasted like they had been fried in grease that had not been changed in weeks and had just fried 10 pounds of fish. The chicken salad was pasty and bland. The potato pancakes were rubbery and cold. I think they should close the restaurant for a week and take the staff to New York and Brooklyn to show them what they should be!.........or change the concept entirely and re-invent the space as something else.

The wife and I popped into Noshville in our attempt to hit some locally owned spots during Restaurant Week. Being a Nashville native, I have heard about Noshville for a long time, but never have been able to go. We found ourselves in the area about 1:30 on a Saturday and decided to pop in for a late lunch. We were sat immediately upon entering. They were busy, but there were a couple of tables open. We sat down and were greeted immediately by our server (less than 30 seconds...big plus in my book) who took our drink orders and put in an order for the soup of the day (Mushroom Barley). The coffee was strong, bold, and full-flavored, some of the better restaurant coffee I've experienced. The soup...well, it was utterly divine. Available on Saturdays, their Mushroom Barley soup is perfectly cooked mushrooms, what appeared to be pearled barley, beef broth, and a blend of fresh herbs. I love mushroom-based soups, so maybe my bar isn't that high, but it's certainly an excellent soup that I will enjoy attempting to duplicate at home. My wife ordered a Hot Ham and Cheese double-stack with American cheese on Sourdough. Served with fries, it was an obscenely large amount of food. The sandwich was meh, especially considering the price (9.49). It appears that Noshville follows the American trend of equating value with large portion sizes. Her ham was a little crispy around the edges from where it appeared to have been tossed on a flat-top griddle for a little too long with too little attention. I ordered the Monte Cristo. I was really, really excited about this Monte Cristo. I've visted the Noshville website several times over the last couple of months, thinking about when I could find an excuse to stop by and order it. I very nearly drooled a couple of times from pure anticipation. Unfortunately, like most things in life, the anticipation was far better than the actual experience itself. The sandwich, for those of you unfamiliar with Monte Cristos, is an egg-washed and battered concoction usually filled with ham but occasionally turkey as well, as was the case here, cheese, and in this case, served with raspberry preserves and a dusting of powdered sugar. The sugar was overpowering. It was almost like a funnel cake. I spent the first couple of minutes trying to knock as much of it off of my sandwich as I could. The raspberry preserves were a nice touch, especially considering the turkey was nearly as dry as sandpaper. If you can't tell, I was thoroughly underwhelmed. As a plus, the fries were pretty good. Taking the whole experience into account, even considering I loved the soup and the service (our waiter really was awesome, I wish I remembered his name), I can't in good conscience really give three stars to Noshville. The Monte Cristo was a real let down, and the fact I paid 30 dollars (plus tip) for this experience really discourages me. I understand the Green Hills real estate isn't cheap, but they really are a little more impressed with themselves than I was impressed by them.

A joke. I used to eat at the Broadway location quite often when I was going to school downtown. The portions were gigantic and the food was mostly good. A nice grilled cheese and tomato with a basket of fries could be had for 8 bucks. Now the portions are small and the food just sucks. And the prices are the exact same. Popped in for a quick lunch with a friend. I had the brisket sandwich, she had the Cobb salad. First, the food took 15 minutes to prepare even though the restaurant only had 2 other parties in it, for a total of 8 patrons, and we had ordered cold food. My brisket sandwich was microwaved and they didn't even bother to pile the meat properly on the bread: it was in a rolled up wad that they slapped between two pieces of nasty rye bread. The meat was tough and tasteless and cold in the center. Generally, when you roll up slices of meat into a wad and then try to reheat it while in a wad, it will be cold in the center. Imagine a baumkuchen, but made of meat instead of layers of cake. Not very appetizing, is it. Cole slaw was decent, but it wasn't going to redeem a 10 dollar sandwich. The Cobb salad was pathetically small. 9 dollars and I swear a Wendy's 4 dollar salad was 2x larger. When I go to a deli, I expect a big salad. I don't even need to go to NY to know that, anyone who's seen Seinfeld knows that. Don't call yourself a NY Deli. The only thing NY about this place are the prices. Quality is severely lacking. Quantity as well. And the Egg Cream is just nasty.

If I had to describe this Noshville in 1 word it would be: Busy. If I had another word it would be: Closed. Tonya L and I had tried several times to visit this Noshville, only to be cruelly disappointed by its spastic hours. On the times where it WAS open there was literally NOWHERE to park. Forcing you to use the Valet. While I recommend all the food at Noshville, I do recommend if at all possible visiting the one on Broadway.

Visited Noshville for lunch with coworkers because it's conveniently located near my office. I had a turkey avocado sandwich (that comes with fries) and an iced tea, and spent $18 (including tip). The service was very good and the food was fine, but for a turkey sandwich lunch I thought $18 was a little ridiculous. I would probably come back if the prices were lower, but I can find an $18 lunch that I like a lot more in Green Hills than what I got at Noshville.

I really, really want to love Nashville, particularly because I wax nostalgic for the delis of Gotham. Melt-in-your-mouth corned beef! Matzoh balls the size of your head! Dill pickles that dreams are made of! Unfortunately, Noshville (despite the witty name) doesn't past muster. I only go here when dragged by friends (lunch or brunch, doesn't matter, it's always a bummer), and I always leave disappointed by the food, the service, and the obscenely high prices. The quantity of food is high, but the quality of food is low. The meats are always dry, the bread stale, the lox questionable. What's honestly most irritating (as several other readers have sagely pointed out) is that they claim to want to re-create the New York deli experience as authentically as possible. Maybe it's just my experience, but I've never been to a NY deli where pickles weren't served gratis or that included bacon and pork sausage on its menu. Don't waste your time, taste buds, or money.

I remember reading on Noshvilles website a few years ago how a group of "investors" went around New York and tried all the great "Delis" there and how they wanted to bring that back to Nashville. What I would like to know is what delis are they basing their so-called New York style sandwiches off of? This is a place I want to like. I want it to be a place I can tell people to go. I want to say "Hey go to Noshville, not Jasons Deli." Unfortunately after giving them chance after chance I can say that I'm giving up. I don't mind paying $10-$13 for a good corn beef, reuben or pastrami sandwich when its properly executed. The Noshville "standard" doesn't meet or exceed my expectations in quality or quantity. The corn beef and pastrami is not properly trimmed of fat and is somewhat dull, too thickly cut and chewy. Ok, they have an extensive b-fast menu. Who can screw that up? They have lox & bagels. But!! The one thing you dont do when your proclaiming to be a "New York" style delicatessen is screw up the sandwiches. C'MON! When I gotta shell out almost $16.00 for a "standard" $11.00 sandwich in NY with better meat, then you've lost me. Maybe the investors had a good idea, but I guess thats why they're investors and not owner operators.

Noshville is very eh to me. I'll eat there because I miss eating at real Jewish delis once in a while, but I end up disappointed every time. Authenticity is one of my biggest problems here. I understand that they bring bagels and stuff in from NY, but that alone doesn't make it the real deal. The first time I ate here I was SO excited to see Matzo Brei( fried matzo) on the menu. As soon as I gave my order the server for some reason decided she wanted to try to correct me on my pronunciation of Matzo Brei with an " OH! You mean you want an order of the Matzo BREE" (Wrong! Matzo BRYE...at least in my family and everywhere else growing up.") and when it came out it was just an omelette with some pieces of matzo thrown in there. Big sad face from me to that. The sandwiches aren't bad, but when ordering anything hot like eggs the chances of it actually being hot when it reaches you are pretty low. Maybe my expectations are just too high for a great Jewish deli/diner in Nashville (I still dream of it.) Or maybe I've been spoiled growing up in a family where Matzo Ball soup didn't taste like a bowl of salt water. It isn't bad, but I should start reminding myself when I'm craving that kind of comfort food to just call up mom and see what she's making for dinner or attempt to make it myself.

Service was great... food was fair... menu much more limited than it used to be. Ordered Matzohbrei... came back too runny... Used to have many more options, which don't seem to exist anymore. Next time, I'll go back to pancake pantry.

If you are craving good corned beef, this is the place to go! I'm a fan of a good reuben and their corned beef is some of the best I've ever had. My friends and I were curious about the reuben soup and ordered a bowl to share and wow, are we glad we tried it! We were all surprised at just how tasty this creamy soup that the chef invented on a dare is! We were all too full from our sandwiches to try their wonderful looking desserts, so that will have to wit for another visit.

Since this was a Deli, it was nice to see they had several free newspapers available outside before you go in the restaurant. I enjoy reading sometimes while I eat and this was a nice touch. As for the food and atmosphere, I was very impressed! My wife and I both ordered a cup of Matzo ball soup as well as a sandwich. Lots of options in terms of the sandwich such as hot or cold, bread choice, toppings, etc. The meal as fantastic and the Matzo ball seems to be a welcome staple. The Deli had a great atmosphere as well as offering some fantastic pies near the front. You could even order some of the meats and get your order to go at the takeout counter. I did notice the menu was rather large, though. This is always a concern for me and almost guarantees some menu items will suffer as a result. As a general rule, always stick with the staples of the type of restaurant you are attending.

This place has haunted me ever since the fateful day I ate a grilled cheese sandwich cooked in rancid oil. OK, so fine. Kitchens make mistakes. I sent it back. The manager brought out a bowl of oil for me to try that tasted nothing like the burnt, nutty, acrid grease slathered on my bread. I tried his oil but he would not try the sandwich. It was a stalemate. The only thing worse than a bad diner is a bad diner with delusions of grandeur. This place is an affront to NYC diners and Nashville hospitality.

One word...overpriced! Half soup and sandwich for two with a soda, $35, wow! While the matzoh ball soup was delicious, the half corned beef was thoroughly underwhelming looking like it was stranded on a desert island. Save your money and pay for a week's worth of lunch elsewhere.

So, I'm not quite sure why I gave this place 2 stars instead of 1. Maybe pity? I have been to this place 2, once before I ever used yelp and once after. The first time I went to this place, I went for breakfast with the family on a Sunday or something like that. It was the shittiest breakfast meals I have ever had out. I always maintain that breakfast is the easiest meal to get out, and hard to fuck up. Now, the food wasn't inedible or anything, but my eggs were just there, they didn't taste like eggs, it was not a delicious omelette. I don't know how you fuck up throwing a bunch of shit on top of eggs and folding it over, butt his was somehow fucked up. Also, my toast was soggy and just bad. The place was packed, I don't know why, I guess the people that live around there don't give a shit about what they eat. I mean. I had to wait a long time for my shitty food, I would never go back, I guess there is not many other places to choose from. The second time I went, to see if lunch was any better, was another waste of my time. I just wanted a pastrami sandwich people, why is it so hard to make a pastrami sandwich outside of New York? I mean, they have a guy on damn near every block that can make a pastrami sandwich. I know I sound like a bitter outsider, but a sandwich is not a hard thing to make, shit publix can make a decent pastrami sandwich. Next time, that's where I will go(at least then I can eat alone somewhere, not surrounded by the apparently dickhead clientele that like to frequent green hills establishments)

Okay, granted this place is part of a small local chain and there food is pretty consistent from one location to the next. However, even though this particular location is in Green Hills, that is not, in my opinion, an excuse for the inconsistent service I have received at this location. Also, with a small parking lot, finding a parking spot can be a pain. Otherwise, the food is great and what I expect of a good deli, although this place is more of a "southern style" deli. Their sandwiches are piled high and the grilled cheese is amazing, they even have grilled cheese and bacon (hence the southern style bit). One of my favorites is a grilled cheese (sometimes with tomato or bacon) on sourdough. They also have soup and half-sandwich combos, though I wish they had more selection on the sandwich part. As for their Matzo Ball soup, it is extremely good and contains giant matzo balls (hence why you can't get it in a cup), that in a large bowl serving can feed a small group. They are definitly a good place to go for lunch, just not (in my experience), this location.

One of my favorite places in Nashville! I love their omelets and their cinnamon roll always satisfies my sweet tooth! The staff here in Green Hills is the best out of all the locations, most friendly by far.

The perfect weekend brunch location, Noshville makes some of the tastiest griddle cakes, sausage, and eggs I've had. While the wait can get a bit excessive on the weekends (20 min usually) it's worth it. Once we had our table, the service was excellent! Our server (Alisha) was incredibly friendly and funny. Despite being the place being packed, our food was out pretty quickly as well. The "we dare ya" breakfast, while on the expensive side, is the perfect complement to a previous night's shenanigans with eggs, bacon, toast, griddle cakes, sausage, and tomatoes. Delicious!

I have been going to Noshville for 10 years and have always found it passable at best. The other day I decided, never again. The coffee tasted like brown burnt water, and the bagel was something out of grocery store freezer section. The nova lox was tasteless and when I asked for some more cream cheese, since the piece they gave me couldn't cover half a bagel, the manager insisted on charging me extra. What kind of customer service is that?! All in all, the service, food and coffee at Bongo Java near Belmont Univ or Fido's in Hillsoboro Village are much superior. Noshville needs a complete overhaul or needs to close.

Noshville, was a disappointment. I hate to start this review like this, but it's the truth. My service was good, the atmosphere was good, the veggie soup was good, but my sandwich was something I'd except from a poorly run sandwich vendor at our local baseball arena. No flavor is my largest complaint with the food. The veggie soup was good, but nothing I couldn't get at neighboring Panera or Whole Foods. The grilled chicken sandwich came out with plain while bread, unseasoned chicken, tomatoes and lettuce. Not much to write home about despite all the wonderful things I've head about the place. The fries were... meh at best. Yes, you heard me right "meh". Meh means...well I'll eat it, but I'm not excited about it. The owners/managers were very nice, the building was funky and had a neat atmosphere, the service was good, but food is the name of the game here people! The food was bland at best and thats why the 2 star rating is making a debut here. Perhaps I should have had a cake or ordered something else... who knows, but I will not return since so many other good restaurants reside within walking distance. Better luck for those of you who head Noshvilles way.

Great place. Great food, great atmosphere and the servers are kind and offer great service. I only recomend not eating the salsa. Little too sweet for my taste.
(4)Jessica S.
Decent deli joint! I went to college in NY and have missed NY Deli's and the deliciousness that they offer. I came here for lunch with some colleagues and really enjoyed the atmosphere. Kinda diner-y. Service was good, a little slow but it was lunchtime so that's what ya get. I ordered a salad, tomato soup, and a turkey sandwich - the soup was amazing. Great little lunch spot.
(4)Piper P.
I went in late around 130, they close at 230. I ordered the 2 2 2 french toast. Way to much food. But very good. Wait staff is always warm and inviting. Thank you Noshville for being a staple here in Nashville.
(5)Austin C.
Slow. Very slow. Friendly, but very slow. Hospitable, but slow. Food is pretty good, but not worth all the waiting: waiting for your server to show up, waiting for your food to arrive, waiting for your water to be refilled. They are very nice. The food is pretty good. They are extremely slow. I wasn't in a hurry but after I realized that lunch was taking longer than an hour I became concerned that my very life was being stolen from me. Go to the Broadway location - they are pros.
(2)Annamaria T.
We stopped here for the first time a couple of days ago for lunch and the food and service were both really good. We decided to stop for breakfast on our way out of town and try the breakfast. Very good. They have multigrain pancakes and turkey sausage for those of us who don't eat red meat and "try" to limit white flour. But my husband and I splurged and got a cinnamon roll to go! Yum! Will go again next time in Nashville.
(4)Ryan P.
Great sandwiches and I love pickles! This is a much easier location to get to that the downtown location but you do lose the ambiance that is associates with the Nashville spot. Hot pastrami sandwich is my bread and butter and no one is better. I would give it 5 stars but I have to comment on the service. Slower than most places, and not as friendly. I know it's a Nee York deli but we are in Nashville so customer service is king!
(4)Nicole K.
Everything about this place was one star (except our server who was VERY nice and attentive)......I have been to the other location for lunch and it was a better experience but still nothing to rave about. This time I went for breakfast.....had the "amazing french toast" which was bland at best. The coffee was horrible (and I am by no means a picky coffee drinker) and my mom's meal was also horrible. Her eggs were cold and tasted worse than those on buffet at a cheap hotel. In short - don't waste your time or money. No matter who tells you it's a Nashville staple.
(1)Leslie W.
After writing this place off after years as loyal customers, we went back for breakfast recently. Talk about going from bad to worse. We decided to play it safe by ordering breakfast. Big mistake. The ole fluffy omelettes were now flat, prefab jobs ... frozen and nuked, probably ... last straw for us.
(1)Giancarlo C.
Good atmosphere like the style. Big menu with lots of options. Waiter was social and upbeat. Good fresh coffee. Eggs were light and fluffy, seasoned well. Pancakes were fantastic and large. Great portion to price ratio. Toast was a bit tuff. Tried the chicken soup, strong flavor butter aftertaste. Overall good place.
(4)Kristina L.
I like Noshville, I really do. The sandwiches are always really good and I'm a big fan of their potato pancakes. Normally we head to the midtown location; however, needing to swing by Green Hills Mall led us to the location nearby for breakfast this past weekend. My husband's western omelet was good from what he said and my spinach and bacon omelet with pepper jack cheese was enourmous and tasty. Of course my side with the silver dollar potato pancakes which, much to my husband's chagrin I did not share. While I feel that the omelet prices are justifiable for the large portions, sides and toast, a couple of things just got to me..... Hubby and I decided to share a side of bacon. With a $3.50 price tag I was astounded to only get three strips! But that wasn't nearly as much of a sticker shock as what his large glass of orange juice cost..... Brace yourself - it was $4.50!! I nearly fell over. Seriously? For real? You have GOT to be kidding me! That was outrageous. So whether I enjoy the food there for breakfast or not, it was way too much for my meager pocketbook. Without tip, this meal set us back almost $40 bucks! For two omelets, toast, potato pancakes, coffee, juice and a side of bacon.... Sigh..... It would be better if I smuggled in my own bacon and a juice box, but barely. So I'd give 'em four starts for food but a meager two for the price gouging which I will round to three overall. Even if we win lotto, I won't be back for breakfast.
(3)Katherine R.
The quality of their take out has declined. Slow delivery, orders wrong, small portion sizes...it's a shame, because they used to be one of my favorite places. I used to be a big fan of the soup/sandwich combo, but their "1/2 sandwich" has gotten so small I can hardly justify spending the money.
(2)Bruce R.
I've eaten at all Noshville locations over time and tonight ate dinner at 21st location. Overall great service. Some good food but i specifically asked how their pastrami was and the waitress said it was very good. Well, i ordered a pastrami on rye. Very very disappointing. Very very fatty and filled with chewy gristle. Sandwhich fell apart. Could only eat about 1/3 of the sandwich. From now on, i will have to try the corned beef. I measure pastrami quality and flavor against Katz's in NY.
(3)David L.
Hey - look here! See what I did? I had breakfast at Noshville (Midtown) and now I've had lunch at Noshville (Green Hills)! I'm a player! - and a fair one at that. A business meeting took me to Green Hills today, so I wanted to check out the Noshville counterpart for lunch. This was a combined opportunity: give Noshville another chance and (hopefully) find another convenient lunch spot. Today, it was packed. (I'm told that's always the case.) But, luck was on my side and we were seated in a corner booth by a very friendly hostess (WITH A SMILE) and we were swiftly served water and menus. I chose to keep it simple: the Cobb Salad. Well, I have to say this was among the best salads I've had! Great presentation: colorful, fresh, generous content. I could not have asked for more. And the flavors were all very good. Nice mixture of meat, crispy bacon, TART blue cheese ..and an avocado taste that simply popped! Nice "recovery", Noshville. A very good lunch!
(4)Noelle T.
I met my cousin at the Noshville Green Hills location this morning for a fun Valentine's Day brunch. Everyone was so nice and accommodating. We had excellent service and they were handing out flowers to all the ladies in honor of Valentine's Day. If it wasn't for such excellent care I would probably have given this place 2 stars based upon flavor. I can't believe I paid $40 for us to get plain old lunch meat on regular old bread. I would have much rather visited the organic section of Publics and made paninis at the house. I got the Turkey Rueben and it was so poorly seasoned that I all I could taste the gaminess of the Turkey. There was a very thin layer of sauerkraut and they served some thousand island on the side. You know it's bad when you are eating rye bread and sauerkraut and it is still not enough to cover up the gaminess of the meat. Fries were nothing special at all. All I can say is that everyone is so nice that I hope they continue to stay in business but not enough that I will eat there again.

Noshville emerges victorious from this spot on Hillsboro Drive. I mean I've only been in town 8 years, but there were so many restaurant's that came and went in this sad little location. Definitely one of those cursed places they talk about. The only one I really remember is the dog named place -- Jack Russell's? Anyway, Noshville came in, totally redid the spot and boom. Next thing you know, its neighbor Green Hills Grille has up and moved to the mall in another (yes) cursed spot that had housed the Cooker and Fire of Brazil or whatever. And now, sadly, Green Hills Grille closed. I would say the midtown location of Noshville is a bit more fun. This is definitely your Green Hills and Belle Meade crowd. I did see Wynonna one time in for lunch! Love the Judds. Anyhow, it's a deli. Good breakfast, good sandwiches. I'm a tuna melt kind of guy so I'm good here. Probably a good change of pace compared to some other Green Hills places. I guess the Hill Center has improved lunch options in the area; I just remember never thinking of any place I wanted to go in Green Hills for lunch.
(4)Patrick R.
Here's a pretty strong little deli. I haven't been to the one on Broadway, so can only tell you how I feel about the one in Green Hills. As much as I dislike spending too much time in the Green Hills area, this is one of the better places in the city to get a damn fine brisket, Reuben or virtually any other deli-style sandwich you're into. I used to valet at Noshville, but I can tell you it's absolutely ridiculous to let a valet park your car here. The lot is always half-empty, typically with a few empty spots withing thirty feet of the front door. Regardless, the food is great and the service tends to be good. They have a breakfast menu packed with a lot of really tasty items, including griddle cakes and several styles of omelette. Prices at Noshville aren't too bad. You can have a very satisfying meal for around $10, and it won't take the staff ages to seat and serve you. Their menu is really expensive, and they even have just about every type of juice imaginable. If you can think it up, they can make it. While Noshville certainly doesn't top Mitchell as my favorite deli in the city, it comes pretty close. Go. Have a nosh. Enjoy!

It's sad that so many Nashvillians actually think this is deli food; if this was New York, they'd have been stoned out of business long ago. And it's no wonder that their health rating is usually in the gutter. The tomatoes are always the cheapest, mealiest in town. Half the time the pickles were frozen and end up mushy. The latkes (potato pancakes) are usually grey from sitting out too long, and that's just breakfast. I really really wish Nashville had one great Jewish deli. Then again, I wish Nashville had one great Chinese restaurant too. It's a pity, because we certainly have a large enough population to support both.
(1)Ryan H.
It's an overpriced eatery for mostly frozen products and an okay sandwich. It's got nothing on a real "big-city" Delicatessen. I would say it's not something you need to visit while searching for a quality sandwich.
(2)Bess R.
Went to the (new?) location in Franklin (I think, in town visiting) this weekend for lunch. My friend and I split a turkey reuben and tomato-basil pie (in the veggie section). The pie was really cheesy and tasty. Reuben was okay - not very much meat or sauerkraut though. Fries weren't bad, but weren't great. Definitely not an authentic NY deli, but not bad.
(3)Tony O.
Great food, good service. My portions were enough, not too much but not to little. Coffee was good and wait staff was attentive. I will definitely come back to try other things on the menu. It all looked really good
(5)Ryan P.
What makes Noshville special isn't the food. Don't get me wrong; it's fine. The real value in Noshville comes from the people, both the staff and the customers. I swear they must use the same hiring practices as Apple. The servers are generally very cheerful and attentive. As for the clientele, you can pick pretty much any morning of the year and bear witness to several power breakfasts going on there. The heavy hitters in town just love this place, and it's got its share or regulars who make it feel like a breakfast version of Cheers. Parking can get a little tight during busy times, but there are additional spaces across the street.
(3)Yifei W.
This place is overpriced for the portions/quality of the food. I only went here because my boss wanted to go here and he was paying. The food was ok in quality, I had a Reuben and it was well made albeit a bit small. The service...well if there's one thing authentically New York, it'd be the wait staff. Our server called me weird for ordering the egg cream soda.
(2)Andy B.
Staff was wonderful, food mediocre, but $4 for a glass of milk was an unpleasant surprise. You better let me take the rest of the gallon home when I'm done, sheesh.

So we gave Noshville's online ordering system a go. When I showed up 10-15 minutes later to pick up the order, their system was apparently messing up and I had to reorder it but did not have to repay. So then I waited another 10-15 minutes. Once I got back to the office and opened up my curry chicken salad, it was the smallest amount of lettuce I have ever seen in a restaurant salad! I am sure the fact that it was in a plastic to-go container and not in a bowl may have made it look a little smaller but there was seriously so little lettuce. And the lettuce that was there was quite obviously the bottom of the bag type of stuff, as I had to set several pieces aside because they had those dark green slimy edges. The toppings and chicken of the salad were fine and more plentiful and they gave me a ton of dressing which was very good (the honey sesame ranch). My co-worker's Reuben was just ok and a bit too crusty on the edges and his fries were chewy and not fresh in the least. Even his fruit cup was lacking. I had not been to Noshvile in ages and thought I would check it out again and because of its proximity to my work, hope to eat there frequently. Well I won't be trying it again anytime soon. I could have gotten a larger salad at Wendy's right down the street for a few dollars less (ganted Wendy's salads are not the freshest, but neither was Noshville's today), also I am still hungry.
(2)Wesley R.
I ordered the "rare roast beef" and was surprised when it came out. The server asked if everything was okay and I said this is not rare(It was brown with a touch of pink). She replied "I told them they should take rare off the menu because we never get it in any more". The 2nd star was because she offered another sandwich and even looked to see if they had any that was less done. However it would have been nice to know that info before ordering.
(2)Mandy P.
Black & white cookies and mimosas: The perfect post-race meal. The friendly staff of Noshville were able to take care of all my needs after I ran the local half marathon. The food was definitely average, but the menu was broad, the service was quick, and the place was packed. I left satisfied, full, and with a few racially ambiguous treats that made the return trip with me to Chicago.
(4)Tom K.
Good spot for breakfast or lunch... The food is consistent and the service is fine.

A nice alternative to Waffle House or Denny's for a hangover recovery, Noshville usually gets me through the Sunday mornings of a long weekend visiting Nashville. Is it authentic NY deli food? Not quite, but considering you're in the middle of Tennessee, it's not a bad attempt. One of the drawbacks to Noshville is the fact that it seems to have a huge local following. I've never been when I didn't have to wait a while for a table or my food. The wait has never been atrociously long, but the waiting area is just as crowded as the rest of the restaurant so it's not the most comfortable spot. And there's nowhere to wait outside, especially if the weather is bad. As for the food, I stick with the breakfast items...usually because I want lots of bread and grease to counteract the beer from the night before. The silver dollar potato pancakes are a refreshing switch from my Waffle House hash browns, and the blintzes have been good as well. Again, it doesn't compare to the diners and delis you'll get up north, but Noshville will keep you going if you're getting tired of cowboy hats and spurs at breakfast.
(4)Scott G.
Great deli but expensive. Great place to see the "stars" of Nashville if you have time to eat at odd hours. Hate seeing the cow tongue in the center of the cooler though.
(3)John G.
I have been to the location on Broadway several times now, and happened to be driving by here, and hungry at the same time so I thought I'd give it a shot. The atmosphere was pretty similar to the one on Broadway, and I mean that in a good way. I felt like you could sit there and enjoy your food and nobody else would really give a damn. Good cafe feel to it. The portions are large, as they are at Broadway. I am a sucker for their french toast. Huge slices of bread, and tasty butter and syrup.
(4)J G.
We came here and got a club sandwich and a spanish omelette. Both were not good. The club sandwich tasted as if it was made days before with the meat almost dried out on the edges. The meat and cheese was rolled up and put in the sandwich making it impossible to even bite into to. I had to take the entire sandwich apart to unroll the meat and cut it to fit in my mouth. I just wanted to eat the sandwich! Not do surgery! The omelette had "spanish" sauce which tasted like sugar and salsa mixed together and warmed up. I would highly NOT recommend this. It tasted like cherry topping. Very disappointed and not a good value for your money. :( Parking was lame.
(2)Erin D.
The first time I went to the Green Hills Noshville I was worried it wouldn't be as good as the original. I was wrong! It, like the Midtown location, has a small parking lot but I've always been able to find a place. Unlike the Midtown location though it does have a patio that is great in the Spring and Summer months. If you're not familiar with Noshville in general you are truly missing out. I'm an advocate of their 4.99 breakfast that includes: two eggs any way; either fruit, silver dollar potatoes or oatmeal (until 11:00am); and a choice of a bagel or toast. When it comes to lunch the Chef's Salad, Vegetarian Vegetable salad and Cheeseburger are all favorites of mine. I actually had my last birthday dinner here for the purpose of celebrating with their delicious Red Velvet cake. Their desserts in general are the best, but be sure to call ahead if your heart is set on one. They always have their New York Style cheesecake and slice it in true "American" portions. If you don't want to drive all the way to Midtown, this is definitely a good alternative, but don't assume that it will be empty during peak hours!
(4)Kenny H.
I like this place for lunch. The Tennessee Club is one of my favorite clubs around. And I like the diner decor. However, I had the "World Famous" meatloaf, and I am not sure what it is famous for. Hard to get into sometimes, but a solid place nonetheless.
(3)Rahel K.
Went there last Sunday to meet some girlfriends for brunch. It really does feel like you are in the big city ordering good, quick food in a Jewish deli. I had the veggie omelet with egg beaters - side of silver dollar potato cakes. GREAT coffee. I love the portions (big), the freshness, and the taste. I have only gone there for brunch and highly recommend it!!
(4)Larry S.
We aren't familiar with the Green Hills area, and we were driving down the road discussing where we wanted to go for lunch, when we saw the Noshville sign. That turned out to be an easy decision. My wife and I shared her bowl of Matzah Ball soup, and it was very good. Our waiter suggested the Reuben sandwich, so I gave it a try. It was good enough to want to come back for another one sometime, but not before I try their Monte Cristo sandwich.

It's nice to go a local breakfast lunch place in green hills and eat good food and meet the locals . They have a great kosher menu that I love . The place has feel of a 1950 soda shop to it and I love that about it . If you looking for a place for breakfast or lunch in green hills I recommend this place. You should try them out.

I knew it! The location serves larger portions. It's true. Plus their fries are thicker and the Matzo Ball soup is consistent. We live equa distant from the original and this one. The portions were larger here. Also our server was amazing and so was everyone there at the Green Hills location. This is NOT to say the servers at the Vandy location are not stellar, however they are so busy and the Green Hills peeps had more time for us. My son and I go or the soup when we are sick and sandwich to take home for later when we know we will be hungry but just to flipping tired to cook. I know bad MOM, but whatever gets you thru the day to feed your kids. The clientele are usually more family oriented where as the downtown one is more professionals and students and musicians. Always fun to watch. Neither are better. On Saturday's both are the same. Again. I love both! Miss the Chicken in the Pot bc it was so good but the Chicken soup is so nice to have made for you when your MOM is not around. We also had the NY Chocolate egg creme. No egg involved. Not exactly the same but you get what you can. Normally ALWAYS get a Reuben but this time, just the soup. Reuben never disappoints except it used to be bigger which I stated last review. Since it is basically our only deli, we love it. Someone please tell me when there is another deli in town. Love the soup and Reubens. Take away on this. Green Hills Noshville Rocks and has bigger fries and Matzo balls are bigger.

First time here, may go back if we are in the neighborhood. I had the Reuben Sandwich, waiter bragged about them. Taste was good but the corned beef, what little was on the Sandwich was tough. Wife had Grilled Chicken on Sour Dough and it had a table spoon of what looked like finely chopped chicken but it tasted ok. I thought the potato cakes were dry but I have only had mine before this. Waiter was great. I thought sandwiches were small for a true DELI!

This place has really good bagels and it turns out their bagels come from Bronx. So real new York bagels in nashville! Thumbs up for that! You can place sleeves of bagels here too and they come straight from new york. I really enjoyed the potatoe cakes (side). They are crispy and tasty, just the right amount of salt and whatever spices they use. I literally ate a whole plate of them. Yum. The service was very good. The typical diner environment. I'd say it's a little pricy wi the most of the breakfast items are around $10 to 11 a plate.

Consistently GREAT! Food is delicious and service is awesome! It was so great that we never even tried a new place during our stay. The potato cakes, breakfast bowl, omelets and kids menu options are the best. Definitely worth a visit. You won't be disappointed!
(5)Ellery R.
Delicious kosher deli. I love their brunch. Although the quality of their salmon is not as good as I would expect. I wish they had more healthy options for brunch, but if you want something delicious and heavy, this is the place for you.

Noshville is ALWAYS great!!! We love their Breakfast!!! Omelettes, potato cakes, and bagels with unlimited coffee!!! The staff is always nice and punctual. The food is amazing as well!!!

Stopped in for lunch today around 2 PM during a visit from Chicago. Cute place but the service was pretty poor. Our server was not very helpful. When asked if we could split an order of the potato pancakes, he flat out said, "no" and later explained that their fryer was not working. He also stated that we were lucky to get the last of the fries with our sandwiches! The food itself was okay but not really memorable at all. Also, when my friend asked to order a milkshake at the counter, the clerk again said "No. Sorry. I just closed out my cash drawer. I'm really sorry!" Other employees had their coats and bags on looking like they couldn't wait to leave. Does this place really want to sell food??? Seems questionable to me... Overall, pretty disappointing. :(

First and last time coming to this place. I have been to the other 2 locations in Cool Springs and Music Row and had good experiences but this was not good. Let's start with $2.50 for unsweetened ice tea. Really, $2.50 for ice tea? I ordered the Turkey Reuben. It was not grilled long enough and there was not enough kraut. The fries were soggy and under-cooked. Paid 17 bucks for lunch and was disappointed. Not a happy camper!
(1)Ed K.
If you've never been to a NYC deli, you might like this. I eat here once every 5 years HOPING one day they'll get it. As of yesterday, they surely never will. It's quite perplexing because the right model exists. Copy it.

French toast and pancakes were ok. Breakfast was overpriced for what it was...
(2)Mark W.
4 of us were there for Breakfast on a Sunday morning...11:30:ish waited about 10 minutes for a table. The waitress was pleasant enough and brought beverages quickly and took our order. and we waited...and waited..and we know it was a Sunday morning, and when she realized we were getting anxious, she told us our food should be out shortly. It arrived, some hot food was hot and some hot food was lukewarm. The eggs were tasteless. The Monte Cristo Sandwich was almost blackened and, along with the french fries, tasted like they had been fried in grease that had not been changed in weeks and had just fried 10 pounds of fish. The chicken salad was pasty and bland. The potato pancakes were rubbery and cold. I think they should close the restaurant for a week and take the staff to New York and Brooklyn to show them what they should be!.........or change the concept entirely and re-invent the space as something else.

The wife and I popped into Noshville in our attempt to hit some locally owned spots during Restaurant Week. Being a Nashville native, I have heard about Noshville for a long time, but never have been able to go. We found ourselves in the area about 1:30 on a Saturday and decided to pop in for a late lunch. We were sat immediately upon entering. They were busy, but there were a couple of tables open. We sat down and were greeted immediately by our server (less than 30 seconds...big plus in my book) who took our drink orders and put in an order for the soup of the day (Mushroom Barley). The coffee was strong, bold, and full-flavored, some of the better restaurant coffee I've experienced. The soup...well, it was utterly divine. Available on Saturdays, their Mushroom Barley soup is perfectly cooked mushrooms, what appeared to be pearled barley, beef broth, and a blend of fresh herbs. I love mushroom-based soups, so maybe my bar isn't that high, but it's certainly an excellent soup that I will enjoy attempting to duplicate at home. My wife ordered a Hot Ham and Cheese double-stack with American cheese on Sourdough. Served with fries, it was an obscenely large amount of food. The sandwich was meh, especially considering the price (9.49). It appears that Noshville follows the American trend of equating value with large portion sizes. Her ham was a little crispy around the edges from where it appeared to have been tossed on a flat-top griddle for a little too long with too little attention. I ordered the Monte Cristo. I was really, really excited about this Monte Cristo. I've visted the Noshville website several times over the last couple of months, thinking about when I could find an excuse to stop by and order it. I very nearly drooled a couple of times from pure anticipation. Unfortunately, like most things in life, the anticipation was far better than the actual experience itself. The sandwich, for those of you unfamiliar with Monte Cristos, is an egg-washed and battered concoction usually filled with ham but occasionally turkey as well, as was the case here, cheese, and in this case, served with raspberry preserves and a dusting of powdered sugar. The sugar was overpowering. It was almost like a funnel cake. I spent the first couple of minutes trying to knock as much of it off of my sandwich as I could. The raspberry preserves were a nice touch, especially considering the turkey was nearly as dry as sandpaper. If you can't tell, I was thoroughly underwhelmed. As a plus, the fries were pretty good. Taking the whole experience into account, even considering I loved the soup and the service (our waiter really was awesome, I wish I remembered his name), I can't in good conscience really give three stars to Noshville. The Monte Cristo was a real let down, and the fact I paid 30 dollars (plus tip) for this experience really discourages me. I understand the Green Hills real estate isn't cheap, but they really are a little more impressed with themselves than I was impressed by them.

A joke. I used to eat at the Broadway location quite often when I was going to school downtown. The portions were gigantic and the food was mostly good. A nice grilled cheese and tomato with a basket of fries could be had for 8 bucks. Now the portions are small and the food just sucks. And the prices are the exact same. Popped in for a quick lunch with a friend. I had the brisket sandwich, she had the Cobb salad. First, the food took 15 minutes to prepare even though the restaurant only had 2 other parties in it, for a total of 8 patrons, and we had ordered cold food. My brisket sandwich was microwaved and they didn't even bother to pile the meat properly on the bread: it was in a rolled up wad that they slapped between two pieces of nasty rye bread. The meat was tough and tasteless and cold in the center. Generally, when you roll up slices of meat into a wad and then try to reheat it while in a wad, it will be cold in the center. Imagine a baumkuchen, but made of meat instead of layers of cake. Not very appetizing, is it. Cole slaw was decent, but it wasn't going to redeem a 10 dollar sandwich. The Cobb salad was pathetically small. 9 dollars and I swear a Wendy's 4 dollar salad was 2x larger. When I go to a deli, I expect a big salad. I don't even need to go to NY to know that, anyone who's seen Seinfeld knows that. Don't call yourself a NY Deli. The only thing NY about this place are the prices. Quality is severely lacking. Quantity as well. And the Egg Cream is just nasty.

If I had to describe this Noshville in 1 word it would be: Busy. If I had another word it would be: Closed. Tonya L and I had tried several times to visit this Noshville, only to be cruelly disappointed by its spastic hours. On the times where it WAS open there was literally NOWHERE to park. Forcing you to use the Valet. While I recommend all the food at Noshville, I do recommend if at all possible visiting the one on Broadway.
(2)Austin G.
Visited Noshville for lunch with coworkers because it's conveniently located near my office. I had a turkey avocado sandwich (that comes with fries) and an iced tea, and spent $18 (including tip). The service was very good and the food was fine, but for a turkey sandwich lunch I thought $18 was a little ridiculous. I would probably come back if the prices were lower, but I can find an $18 lunch that I like a lot more in Green Hills than what I got at Noshville.

I really, really want to love Nashville, particularly because I wax nostalgic for the delis of Gotham. Melt-in-your-mouth corned beef! Matzoh balls the size of your head! Dill pickles that dreams are made of! Unfortunately, Noshville (despite the witty name) doesn't past muster. I only go here when dragged by friends (lunch or brunch, doesn't matter, it's always a bummer), and I always leave disappointed by the food, the service, and the obscenely high prices. The quantity of food is high, but the quality of food is low. The meats are always dry, the bread stale, the lox questionable. What's honestly most irritating (as several other readers have sagely pointed out) is that they claim to want to re-create the New York deli experience as authentically as possible. Maybe it's just my experience, but I've never been to a NY deli where pickles weren't served gratis or that included bacon and pork sausage on its menu. Don't waste your time, taste buds, or money.

I remember reading on Noshvilles website a few years ago how a group of "investors" went around New York and tried all the great "Delis" there and how they wanted to bring that back to Nashville. What I would like to know is what delis are they basing their so-called New York style sandwiches off of? This is a place I want to like. I want it to be a place I can tell people to go. I want to say "Hey go to Noshville, not Jasons Deli." Unfortunately after giving them chance after chance I can say that I'm giving up. I don't mind paying $10-$13 for a good corn beef, reuben or pastrami sandwich when its properly executed. The Noshville "standard" doesn't meet or exceed my expectations in quality or quantity. The corn beef and pastrami is not properly trimmed of fat and is somewhat dull, too thickly cut and chewy. Ok, they have an extensive b-fast menu. Who can screw that up? They have lox & bagels. But!! The one thing you dont do when your proclaiming to be a "New York" style delicatessen is screw up the sandwiches. C'MON! When I gotta shell out almost $16.00 for a "standard" $11.00 sandwich in NY with better meat, then you've lost me. Maybe the investors had a good idea, but I guess thats why they're investors and not owner operators.

Noshville is very eh to me. I'll eat there because I miss eating at real Jewish delis once in a while, but I end up disappointed every time. Authenticity is one of my biggest problems here. I understand that they bring bagels and stuff in from NY, but that alone doesn't make it the real deal. The first time I ate here I was SO excited to see Matzo Brei( fried matzo) on the menu. As soon as I gave my order the server for some reason decided she wanted to try to correct me on my pronunciation of Matzo Brei with an " OH! You mean you want an order of the Matzo BREE" (Wrong! Matzo BRYE...at least in my family and everywhere else growing up.") and when it came out it was just an omelette with some pieces of matzo thrown in there. Big sad face from me to that. The sandwiches aren't bad, but when ordering anything hot like eggs the chances of it actually being hot when it reaches you are pretty low. Maybe my expectations are just too high for a great Jewish deli/diner in Nashville (I still dream of it.) Or maybe I've been spoiled growing up in a family where Matzo Ball soup didn't taste like a bowl of salt water. It isn't bad, but I should start reminding myself when I'm craving that kind of comfort food to just call up mom and see what she's making for dinner or attempt to make it myself.

Service was great... food was fair... menu much more limited than it used to be. Ordered Matzohbrei... came back too runny... Used to have many more options, which don't seem to exist anymore. Next time, I'll go back to pancake pantry.
(3)Dee B.
French Toast $7.99 is delicious
(4)Carissa P.
If you are craving good corned beef, this is the place to go! I'm a fan of a good reuben and their corned beef is some of the best I've ever had. My friends and I were curious about the reuben soup and ordered a bowl to share and wow, are we glad we tried it! We were all surprised at just how tasty this creamy soup that the chef invented on a dare is! We were all too full from our sandwiches to try their wonderful looking desserts, so that will have to wit for another visit.
(5)Brian K.
Since this was a Deli, it was nice to see they had several free newspapers available outside before you go in the restaurant. I enjoy reading sometimes while I eat and this was a nice touch. As for the food and atmosphere, I was very impressed! My wife and I both ordered a cup of Matzo ball soup as well as a sandwich. Lots of options in terms of the sandwich such as hot or cold, bread choice, toppings, etc. The meal as fantastic and the Matzo ball seems to be a welcome staple. The Deli had a great atmosphere as well as offering some fantastic pies near the front. You could even order some of the meats and get your order to go at the takeout counter. I did notice the menu was rather large, though. This is always a concern for me and almost guarantees some menu items will suffer as a result. As a general rule, always stick with the staples of the type of restaurant you are attending.

This place has haunted me ever since the fateful day I ate a grilled cheese sandwich cooked in rancid oil. OK, so fine. Kitchens make mistakes. I sent it back. The manager brought out a bowl of oil for me to try that tasted nothing like the burnt, nutty, acrid grease slathered on my bread. I tried his oil but he would not try the sandwich. It was a stalemate. The only thing worse than a bad diner is a bad diner with delusions of grandeur. This place is an affront to NYC diners and Nashville hospitality.
(1)Nathan M.
Awesome place. Excellent food and wait staff.
(5)Michael W.
One word...overpriced! Half soup and sandwich for two with a soda, $35, wow! While the matzoh ball soup was delicious, the half corned beef was thoroughly underwhelming looking like it was stranded on a desert island. Save your money and pay for a week's worth of lunch elsewhere.
(2)Samuel L.
So, I'm not quite sure why I gave this place 2 stars instead of 1. Maybe pity? I have been to this place 2, once before I ever used yelp and once after. The first time I went to this place, I went for breakfast with the family on a Sunday or something like that. It was the shittiest breakfast meals I have ever had out. I always maintain that breakfast is the easiest meal to get out, and hard to fuck up. Now, the food wasn't inedible or anything, but my eggs were just there, they didn't taste like eggs, it was not a delicious omelette. I don't know how you fuck up throwing a bunch of shit on top of eggs and folding it over, butt his was somehow fucked up. Also, my toast was soggy and just bad. The place was packed, I don't know why, I guess the people that live around there don't give a shit about what they eat. I mean. I had to wait a long time for my shitty food, I would never go back, I guess there is not many other places to choose from. The second time I went, to see if lunch was any better, was another waste of my time. I just wanted a pastrami sandwich people, why is it so hard to make a pastrami sandwich outside of New York? I mean, they have a guy on damn near every block that can make a pastrami sandwich. I know I sound like a bitter outsider, but a sandwich is not a hard thing to make, shit publix can make a decent pastrami sandwich. Next time, that's where I will go(at least then I can eat alone somewhere, not surrounded by the apparently dickhead clientele that like to frequent green hills establishments)

Okay, granted this place is part of a small local chain and there food is pretty consistent from one location to the next. However, even though this particular location is in Green Hills, that is not, in my opinion, an excuse for the inconsistent service I have received at this location. Also, with a small parking lot, finding a parking spot can be a pain. Otherwise, the food is great and what I expect of a good deli, although this place is more of a "southern style" deli. Their sandwiches are piled high and the grilled cheese is amazing, they even have grilled cheese and bacon (hence the southern style bit). One of my favorites is a grilled cheese (sometimes with tomato or bacon) on sourdough. They also have soup and half-sandwich combos, though I wish they had more selection on the sandwich part. As for their Matzo Ball soup, it is extremely good and contains giant matzo balls (hence why you can't get it in a cup), that in a large bowl serving can feed a small group. They are definitly a good place to go for lunch, just not (in my experience), this location.
(4)Sara S.
One of my favorite places in Nashville! I love their omelets and their cinnamon roll always satisfies my sweet tooth! The staff here in Green Hills is the best out of all the locations, most friendly by far.
(5)Riley S.
The perfect weekend brunch location, Noshville makes some of the tastiest griddle cakes, sausage, and eggs I've had. While the wait can get a bit excessive on the weekends (20 min usually) it's worth it. Once we had our table, the service was excellent! Our server (Alisha) was incredibly friendly and funny. Despite being the place being packed, our food was out pretty quickly as well. The "we dare ya" breakfast, while on the expensive side, is the perfect complement to a previous night's shenanigans with eggs, bacon, toast, griddle cakes, sausage, and tomatoes. Delicious!
(4)Larry S.
I have been going to Noshville for 10 years and have always found it passable at best. The other day I decided, never again. The coffee tasted like brown burnt water, and the bagel was something out of grocery store freezer section. The nova lox was tasteless and when I asked for some more cream cheese, since the piece they gave me couldn't cover half a bagel, the manager insisted on charging me extra. What kind of customer service is that?! All in all, the service, food and coffee at Bongo Java near Belmont Univ or Fido's in Hillsoboro Village are much superior. Noshville needs a complete overhaul or needs to close.
