Rae's Sandwich Shoppe

Rae’s Sandwich Shoppe is a family-run lunch counter in downtown Nashville, where owner Fred and his daughter Isaaca craft fresh, made-to-order fare on crusty New Orleans–style baguettes. The menu features classic deli subs, rotating daily soup specials and house-made garden salads, all rounded out by indulgent desserts like banana pudding and brownies. Known for its signature sandwich specials—think Shrimp Poboy Tuesdays and Cajun Gumbo Mondays—Rae’s brings a taste of Southern comfort to every bite. Friendly, name-your-order service and a cozy counter setup make it a go-to spot for homestyle meals and group catering alike.
