My husband loves the location on Merchants Drive, so we tried the N Peters location expecting it to be great. It was unfortunately terrible. The sandwiches were supposedly steamed but so cold, the cheese wasn’t even slightly melted. The bread was cold, hard, and thin. We wanted it to be good but it was just so so bad.

If you looking for a local sub shop in Knoxville this is a good one. We order a sub wheel with a variety of subs, it was great for our tailgate. Very friendly, in side is a typical sub shop. Better to get them to go.

In town for the UT game. Went to Nixon's for a steamed deli, the kind you can only get in Knoxville. Pastrami and Swiss was excellent!

Wanted to try something different, came in here. Menu is pretty easy to figure out, you get to pick your cheese, bread and whether you want the sandwich hot or not as they all come served hot. Ordered the 4" Italian, hubby ordered the 6" Reuben.6" ruebenThe white bread is very soft...delicious.The Italian is amazingly great with good flavor. Reuben is the same....fresh bread, great flavor.Definitely recommend- great sub shop.
Fantastic place to grab a sandwich! The staff is amazing! Great sandwich shop....quiet and clean!

The food was better than I remember from last time. Overall would give the food four, stars but I bumped that up to a five because of Taylor. Her smile and greeting makes a guest feel warm and invited. And I can tell you today it was very appreciated. Seems like in today's world. A lot of businesses are focused less on service and just glad to have an employee but not the case here todayThank you Taylor you make Nixons deli a better place!

Awesome Rubin Sandwich.Taylor was very friendly and the young man who served me was polite and very friendly. I didn't catch his name. Thank you for the lunch. I'll be back when I'm in the area.

We enjoyed their sandwiches for years. But that all came to close last week when Brandy the manager refused to let us sit in a back table away from the fans as it's always freezing in the 220 Peters Rd location. We are seniors and asked them to turn off a fan over the table in the past. They refused! So apparently they close off the back 3 tables that are away from fans by putting boxes on the table. We saw someone eating at one of those back tables so we moved to warmer area the back table where we saw someone just sitting. Per manager Brandy after 1:00 PM they close off the back 3 tables because they don't want to clean those tables again. Explained we were freezing is why we we're sitting there no where else to sit that was not under their fans and did not want to move. Brandy said told us we will refund your money. Asking us to leave rudest people I ever met. Terrible customer service. We never received our lunch pretty much here your money get out. We will never go back to Nixon's again.
