"At Zaddy's in Politan Row, the sandwiches are so big and hearty that eating one feels like a CrossFit workout for your jaw (but in a good way). And the portions are generous enough to save half for dinner. The turkey sandwich, loaded with thick-cut, smoked turkey breast, greens, and jerk mayo, and the lemon pepper tuna sandwich, a nod to Atlanta’s favorite seasoning, are both excellent. But the real standout is the grilled balsamic veggie sandwich, stacked with chilled eggplant, zucchini, roasted tomatoes, greens, and vegan jerk mayo—easily one of the best vegetarian sandwiches in Atlanta." - jacinta howard
"After a tough work day, the last thing you need are more decisions to make. The food hall at Politan Row in Colony Square is full of hard, equally appetizing choices—from pho to curry shrimp patties, so let's make an executive decision. Head to Zaddy’s, which takes your usual sub sandwiches to new heights. The cajun lemon pepper tuna sandwich and carrot cake bread pudding is our favorite meal to turn your midweek mentality from “f&ck it all” to “it’s almost Friday.” Food Rundown photo credit: Courtesy of Zaddy's Cajun Lemon Pepper Tuna Salad Atlanta’s favorite spice takes a break from its usual partner, chicken, and lends its services to this chunky tuna salad. And we love it. That signature tang combines with a slightly spicy jerk mayo to give this sub sandwich a little zing without overpowering the tuna. Grilled Balsamic Veggie Normally vegetarian sandwiches read like a run-of-the-mill salad with really large croutons. But not this one. The grilled thick slices of eggplant are meaty, chilled, and tender without getting mushy. The thick, soft multigrain bread would laugh at crouton comparisons and a heavy splash of balsamic plus a spicy jerk mayo brings the medley of other vegetables to life. photo credit: Courtesy of Politan Row Grilled Chicken This is a solid choice if you want to play it straight. The sub has a thick grilled chicken breast that’s kept nice and moist by the spicy jerk mayo. Plus, mixed greens and red onions help keep this traditional. Pastrami Grill This sandwich has the thickness of a copy of Gone With The Wind because of how many slices of pastrami there are in between the pressed rye bread. Melty cheddar cheese and a zesty house slaw doused in 1000 island dressing give this sandwich plenty of can’t-stop-eating-it flavor." - Nina Reeder
"The citrus, pepper, and fish pairing isn’t some wild exploration. But a bite into the Zaddy’s Cajun lemon pepper tuna sub has us questioning why this lemony tuna excellence isn’t standard on every sub shop menu. It’s a great spiced-up take on an old-school sandwich, and it’s served on big fluffy multigrain bread, with a generous helping of tuna and jerk mayo. It’s also one of the best things on the sandwich menu (and really in the entire Politan Row food hall for that matter)." - juli horsford, nina reeder, jacinta howard
"WowGr8: “It's owned by this mother and daughter. They make the best chicken caesar salad sandwich that I've ever had in my life. They use, like, these giant kale leaves in the salad and in the sandwich.You feel like a dinosaur eating it, but it's so good. And they have their own homemade caesar dressing that they make right there. And they make the bread in-house for the sandwich. It's a multigrain bread. I go there wherever I can.”" - jacinta howard
"It’s not a stretch to say our city will put lemon pepper seasoning on everything. Just know it actually works on Zaddy’s Cajun lemon pepper tuna, since it’s a slightly citrusy, spiced-up take on an old-school tuna sandwich and the thing to order here. Although the food stall in Colony Square’s Politan Row only offers a few sandwich options, they’re all phenomenal thanks to big fluffy multigrain bread, generous portions of meat, and their signature tangy jerk mayo. That includes their vegan sub with plant-based mayo, roasted eggplant, and peppers, which is also one of best things to eat in the whole food hall. " - juli horsford, nina reeder
