TY'S Soups And Sandwiches

First time eating Ty’s. My coworkers rave about how amazing it is, so I had to experience it myself. 10/10! It surpassed my expectations. Not only was the food incredible, but the cooks, and staff were very friendly. The club and chicken queso soup was fire!

Fantastic sandwich made in only a few minutes. Everyone was really nice and friendly. Nicely placed just off Broadway with seating outside under umbrellas. Well priced as well, make sure you go, they're open between 10:30 and 14:30!

I did want a small piece of bread or a cracker with my soup! But this was no joke good! The space is breezy, staff friendly and the Chicken Queso soup on point! Seriously good scratch made soup! Do not get a small, you will be so sad when it's gone. Big and small chunks of chicken breast and just the right seasonings to make it wonderful- not too spicy, not too salty! Pure perfection! Run, walk or Uber here if you want some good quality soup that is worth the hype!

For a tiny little restaurant this place packs the punch with absolutely delicious sandwiches and soups. The tomato bisque is perfect for a chilly day! Portion sizes are just right and the prices are very fair. Service is of course with a giant smile 😁. Tables in front for eating "in" are fun for people watching.

Well this was one of the best sandwiches and soups ive had in a while and im having a hard time thinkingof one that may have been better. When I ordered the tys hot chicken sandwich they were out of lettuce and put spinach on it. And thats the only way I will eat it from now on. Fresh. Fast and no words can describe how good it was.

Great little hidden gem of a lunch spot making some of the best fresh sandwiches in this part of town and excellent soups. Ty's is fast affordable and staffed with smiling friendly people. Order ahead if needed but you can usually drop by, be in and out in 5 minutes or less. The Chicken soup is delectable. The sandwiches are piled high with meats and the bread is soft delicious and nicely toasted (unless you prefer it not to be) you should absolutely try the Reuben and the chicken salad, I also really like the plain old club. A Subway is opening next door. Don't be fooled try Ty's instead you'll pay the same or less for much better food with more meats! The shop is small no sitting inside but if it's nice out there are a few tables you can sit at. Also Available on all the delivery apps.

Delicious build your own sandwiches and the best part, the soup. Don’t leave without a cup of any kind. Soooo good! And the friendliest service. Great place to grab a quick bite on the run.

Their chicken salad is a refreshing take on a classic and pairs extremely well with their potato soup. The service is extremely friendly and quick and this place hits the spot for a quick lunch stop while at work.

We loved Ty's. Definitely recommend! We will be back. That fried chicken sandwich. And Ty's cookies. Delicious and delightful!!

I saw a TV spot on channel 5's talk of the town and it looked good. Then When I saw where it was, I immediately remembered the place. I know I had seen the storefront of this place years ago when I did work in the R2D2 Building it is attached to. Can't quite recall the year but it was ages ago. I thought to myself back then, I should try that place. Well here it is 2024 and there's no time like the present. Its a downtown storefront and there is no parking (except the attached garage if you have other business downtown). So walking is probably going to be your best mode of transport to here. I walked down on a windy cold January morning. When I entered there were already several people waiting. I showed up at about 12:30 and it was the height of lunch but its the week of New Year so people may be off. Either way, the place is very small and compact on the inside and I wouldn't doubt they have a line out the door on busy weekday lunches. I made my way to the front of the line and they had a nice heater to warm guests up. The attendant was very nice and some of the regulars knew her by first name. When I approached she asked my name, one, probably to place on my ticket, but two, I feel as if she wanted to remember my face if I came back. I waited patiently. They have a real easy menu to follow. I was almost about to try the turkey sandwich but I saw they had a Rueben there so I ordered one. Several other orders were made, came and went but I wasn't mad about it because the Rueben was a hot sandwich to make. I got it and the guy told me to hold it horizontally in the bag. I made my way back to work carrying the bag like a delivery boy in the 1930's, hoping that the cold gusts of wind didn't rob me of the warmth in the sandwich. I made it back to my desk (note: photos of sandwich are at my desk and not at the restaurant) and the sandwich was still nice and steamy hot. They placed the home made thousand island or Russian dressing in a ramekin instead of on the sandwich. The taste was good, thinly sliced and I am kinda glad they did put the sauce in a separate container because the sauce was a bit rich for me. The sauce was a lot thicker too. I could tell it was home made. My only complaint is they use white American cheese instead of swiss. Its no biggie, I know you gotta make cuts somewhere to keep your costs down. Its been a little while since I have been to Rae's so I can't do an accurate price comparison, but by memory, Rae's Rueben was better. I will definitely return and try the other sandwiches. For downtown, the price is right too.

Food is great! Staff are fun and engaging! Tuna salad was good and don't forget the cookies!

Perfect lunch spot. Feels local and authentic. Traditional and almost diner/style soups, sandwiches and salads. Thanks for help, Puff!

I have been eating lunches here for years and have never had bad food until this week. Ordered the Ruben and the toast was so burnt it was not eatable. Very disappointed

If you're not going to be open when your hours say they are then update that sh*t. Horrible. Or close! Waited all morning to try this to arrive at 10:30 and you were not open. Door says 10:30 online says 10:30. ......................

I'm here from California, saw the little sign out front and wanted the tomato bisque. I got a Philly cheese and the soup. Both were delicious! Love the tomato bisque that tasted fresh made with chunks of tomatoes. If I come back to Nashville I will definitely be back. I give it 10/10 stars. Paula Bowler

I wanted a salad. I ordered the Big Salad. It was definitely big! There was lots of protein. Which included boiled eggs, turkey, ham, and bacon! I felt like there wasn't enough lettuce or greens. It wasn't bad and I couldn't finish due to the large portion. I was surprised about the cashless option as our society is going that direction anyways. Other things to mention, they are only opened during lunch/midday. It is a mom and pop and I almost missed it.

The best soup amd sandwich place in Nashville!! Please keep the Gumbo on the menu!! Was awesome!! I could eat it everyday for lunch!!

Delish. Quick. You get your moneys worth - especially in the heart of downtown. Two thumbs up

Amazing sandwiches, quick & friendly service, and the owners are nice people. Many times they've stayed open late to take a few last-minute orders for us since we're regulars. Highly recommend for lunch downtown.

Amazing home-style food. The BLT was exceptional and the vegan Southwest Bean Soup was even better. Well played!!!!

Had a great sandwich here while staying at the Courtyard on the same block. But why would a sandwich shop want to reduce their business by going cashless? Especially when they have to pay for card transactions? Was going to go back the next day, but decided to grab a Subway sandwich two doors down, simply because of the cashless thing.

Cute little sandwich and soup shop located on 4th Ave. I got the veggies beef soup size large hubby got the Buffalo chicken hot sandwich. Both had great taste. Friendly service and good food, stop on in for some good lunch.

Stopped in because my 9yo daughter insisted as we walked by. Well I'm so glad we did! The steak sandwich was amazing, the beef/vegetable soup so good! And they were soooo nice and gave us free cookies. So we went back immediately before they closed to get another steak sandwich! Additionally the staff was extremely nice and welcoming. Highly recommend for a quick, easy, and tasty lunch!

Clean, afforadable, personable, with a wide selection of breads, topings, and condiments. I tried the hommade tuna salad on pumpernickel add fresh greens, pickles, and mustard.

I only had their Philly cheese steak but it was legit. Alotta people can make cheese steaks but some don't be hitting. Fortunately for this one it's a keeper.

A must try for an easy and delicious lunch. The staff is so kind and welcoming. We got the Italian and it was amazing, fresh and made quick! We will absolutely be coming back next time we're in town.

Excellent sandwiches, amazing staff, and great prices! Seriously, you can't go wrong with any of the sandwiches. Why go to any chain sandwich store when this place is downtown??

Delicious and cozy spot, perfect when you need a quick lunch! I got the chili and it was hearty and very filling. Mostly a grab and go spot, there isn't seating inside. Also grab some fresh baked cookies too, those are not to be missed!!

Definitely a hole in the wall and easy to miss... bot don't! The chili was AMAZING, as were the sandwiches. Staff is friendly and service was quick and efficient. I highly recommend!

The star of the show is their Chicken Queso soup. It is the most delicious thing I have tasted in a long time. The consistency is perfect, not watery. Just spicy enough for you to fell it, but not be uncomfortable. There is not a day I am in Nashville that I do not get the soup. I've tried the Philly Cheese steak and a Reuben. They just didn't do it for me. I guess I would say they were good, not great. The staff is very friendly. The space is cramped, but no one really seems to mind.

A hidden gem! I was in town for a conference at the convention center. At lunchtime, restaurants nearby were packed with long wait times. I had a taste for an egg salad sandwich. Searching yelp for delis, I happened upon Ty's and gave them a try. The food was great! I got an egg salad on sour dough, a bag of chips and a drink for less than $10. The egg salad tasted exactly like the one I make at home. The woman at the register was smiley and friendly, and my food was ready fast. Note, there are no tables inside-- it's carry-out only.

I went here with my family, and the staff was so accommodating and wonderful - and the sandwiches were tasty and affordable. I was really blown away by how willing the people here were to go out of their way to satisfy their customers. When my dad asked for an ingredient that wasn't on their normal menu, they came out after we ordered and gave him some. I lost something of mine after leaving and they helped me look very thoroughly to find it. Much love for this little sandwich shop!

An excellent place for lunch! Just a quick walk down 4th Ave for me from the office to this hidden gem. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. The lady behind the register was very patient and helped me make selections as this was my first time here. I went with the chicken salad on a croissant with spinach and tomato. I also had a side of the queso chicken soup and cornbread. The soup was excellent. The corn bread was also tasty, the bottom was slightly burnt making it hard to crumble into the soup. The chicken salad was prefect, in my opinion. I did not feel that they went overboard with the mayo. I love that they had grapes instead of onions in the salad. The cup of soup and sandwich totaled to $9 with tax, making it a very reasonable place for lunch. All the seating is outside, which is slightly limiting due to weather but I do not feel it detracts from the quality of food and service. I will definitely be adding Ty's to my lunch routine and look forward to trying the various sandwiches and soups.

Really tasty sandwich and chili, and wonderful chocolate chip cookies. All at a fair price and with a really nice woman at the counter. Careful, though, they are only open for four or five hours mid day Monday through Friday.

Fantastic soup and sandwich spot in downtown Nashville. You get a lot of QUALITY bang for your buck.

Great find for a quick & tasty lunch! The soup selection was great, which were perfect for the chilly day. The sandwiches were delicious also. Highly recommended for an easy stop!

Best sandwiches, fantastic service!! They know so many guests by name. Very comfortable and welcoming

Hidden gem is a great description for this place - I actually work in the building next door for about a year and hadn't noticed it. Had a friend ask enthusiastically if I had been when they realized I worked so close. Tried it out today and will definitely be going back. Got chicken salad sandwich and chicken queso soup at the suggestion of the guy working there. It's awesome - get it !! Chicken salad is great as well. They even had a good selection of healthier side chips and an array of drink choices. The customer service was awesome, the guy working was so nice (apparently the owner according to other reviews) and answered all my questions. My question is - why doesn't this show up as a lunch place on Yelp when you look at nearby restaurants?!! Looking @ you Yelp. I looked up Ty's to write this review and the app asked if I was looking for "toys". Great way to stay a hidden gem I suppose

Stopped in on my walk home earlier. Quick and friendly service, reasonably priced and the club sandwich was great. I tried their orza salad as well, not bad. The only draw back, like most places in and around the arts district, they close earlier than I'd like.

Amazingly delicious soup, sandwhiches and cookies! The portions are perfect and the prices are great. This is a popular lunch location and there's typically a line. However the line moves quick and the wait time isn't bad at all. You definitely want to make sure you stop here for lunch, you won't be disappointed!

Great place for a quick lunch with a cozy, sunny outdoor seating area. Had some excellent veggie beef soup - and as a Yankee, I don't often see fried bologna sandwiches on the specials menu!

Such a hidden gem! If you aren't looking for the place you will probably just walk by. My favorite lunch spot for soups and sandwiches. Always friendly and fast service. My favorite is a pepper jack grilled cheese with the tomato soup. The chicken queso soup is delicious as well

Ty's is a wonderful hidden gem in downtown Nashville. Great to grab a quick bite on a busy day! Soups, sandwiches, and side salads are the building blocks of their menu. Their soups are excellent. Their side salads are pre-made in the mornings, but are always fresh and tasty! The price is right (under $8 for a cup of soup and a side salad). The entire staff has a friendly hello each time you stop in. The service is quick and the food is of high quality. Their vegetable beef soup is my favorite. Pair it with their fresh made cornbread, and you have a great meal! They also offer fresh made sandwiches. You can choose from one of their selections or build your own. I can't say enough great things about Ty's. Anyone who works downtown should give it a try.

This place is SO good! My coworkers always rave about it, so I tried it today, and YES! You get cornbread with your soup for free, but I didn't want the cornbread, so they snuck an extra bowl of soup into my bag! Such friendly, nice, awesome people with super customer service. I'll be back at least once a week....

I have gone to Ty's about once a month during the week for the last 2 years. They are always busy at lunch and are consistently speedy. My office is a block away and when I go out for a sandwich I want to know I can be back in my office in 20 minutes or less. My favorite menu items are the chicken salad (best in Nashville - I've tried them all!) and chicken tortilla soup. Everything is home made and the prices are very reasonable. They sometimes run out of cornbread for the soup but other than that Ty's is a great lunch option if you want fast, friendly service and quality food at a very reasonable price.

I have only been here once, but I plan to make several more trips for sure. It's not too far of a walk from where I work, and the food is phenomenal. I dream about their chili! The only downside is that I don't know what kind of soups they have everyday, but I hope chili is one of them every time...

It is difficult to make good soup. It is easy to forget this in our age of things in cans and cups that we pop in the microwave. Ty's has figured this out. To perfection. It is no exaggeration to say that I have not had soup as good as I get at Ty's. I have had their chili, a couple of the cheese-based soups (the potato is excellent), and the veggie beef. This last is my absolute favorite, particularly with the great cornbread. It is a small place with no inside seating; there are tables outside, though, and it's a great place to hang out. I have not had their sandwiches, but hear good things about them. I have had their salad and fruit salads, both of which are excellent.

Great Chicken salad. If you are looking for a cheap healthy place to eat downtown, you can't beat Ty's. Great lunch spot and the folks are super friendly.

I would say 4.5 honestly, its just hard for me to give 5 stars. It is nice supporting small business, especially when the food, service, and pricing are all good. They make several things themselves, including the chicken queso soup that probably everyone loves. I have yet to introduce someone to the soup that did not like it. It is also nice that you can create pretty much any kind of custom sandwich, as long as they have the ingredients to make it, they will accommodate. Of course when they are busy its probably best not to get to crazy, but regardless the service and speed is still very good. The Philly cheese-steaks are also a very tasty sandwich, and BETTER than nearby places that specialize in this. Everything is fresh and tastes great, after several visits I have always been happy. The only reason I did not give 5 stars is that the cornbread they provide with the soup has been hit or miss, but otherwise everything else is awesome! You can go here with confidence, even if you are not blown away you will be pleased, and you will feel better than you are supporting local business vs the mega chain places.

Ohhhh myyy ggooodddnesss! Best sandwich and customer service my husband and I have ever had! He had Reuben and I had the chicken salad. Their customer service and flavor was above and beyond, if I could eat there every day I would. The owner let me taste the chicken salad before I got it, recommended the best bread I had ever had for it. Even walked outside to check on us to make sure we loved the sandwhich! The cooks were even offering to remake my sandwhich after it was done when I asked if the bread could be toasted. Genuine, kind, delicious, and the very definition of what customer service and happy customers is about! Great job and we were blown away!

I work across town and I always make a point to come see Ty at least once a week. His food is a mouthgasm. The service is fast and friendly!! You won't go wrong eating with Ty!!!

Most kindest guy ever! My girlfriend and I were walking past here just at closing time and were dying for some water. So, even though the guy I can only assume was the owner? Was closing, he gave us water and let us have it for free! Such a generous and amazing guy, I was astounded by his kindness. That alone is what makes a business successful!

Visiting Nashville saw the reviews for Ty's and wanted to give it a try. Ordered the Philly cheese steak and it was delicious! The people were very friendly and gave me great advices on the sandwiches!

FANTASTIC! The BEST homemade Chicken Salad, Pimento Cheese and Chicken Queso Soup and Chicken Dumplin Soup! TY's Soups and Sandwiches is the place to go downtown in Nashville, TN! Carolyn V Miami

Great homemade soup and fresh salads. Very small so if the weather is bad plan on eating elsewhere. Perfect for grabbing lunch and taking it with you. Friendly service.

Great service, quick turnover, so many wonderful choices; my new go-to place for awesome food!

Hidden little. "To go" sandwich shop with a few outdoor tables.no indoor seating. For under 10$ i had a great queso soup and a Wonderful Philly Cheese steak. Very friendly staff and great prices for downtown area of Nashville

Paid $9 for a grilled cheese that had American cheese only on it and the toppings were nasty! The bread was extremely soggy, I threw it away. The soup was ok. Won't go there for a grilled cheese again! Go to Dunn Brothers!
