The Southern Engine Deli, located in historic Marathon Village in Nashville, TN, offers a unique dining experience with big city flavors and a Nashville flair. Specializing in stacked high meat sandwiches, their menu reflects the deli culture of New York and Chicago, while guests can also enjoy the railroad-inspired decor and the option to dine under the water tower on the back patio.

With a rich history rooted in the automobile industry, The Southern Engine Deli is situated in the former Marathon Motor Works factory, which was originally founded as Southern Engine and Boiler Works in 1889. Drawing inspiration from this heritage, the deli combines metal-working and power plant experience with the rapidly expanding automobile industry, offering a taste of the past in a modern setting.
