Steamship Eats: High-End Gourmet Organic Sandwich Shop & Artisan Bakery
Welcome to Steamship Eats, Columbia, Tennessee’s premier farm-to-table culinary experience. We are redefining the classic lunch model by delivering a high-end, 100% scratch-made menu featuring gourmet signature sandwiches, crisp organic salads, handcrafted soups, and an elite, in-house artisan bakery. Located just minutes from the historic Columbia Public Square, we proudly serve the Maury County community with zero compromises on quality.
At Steamship, we believe in absolute culinary transparency. You will never find mass-produced, corporate-distributed products or filler ingredients in our kitchen. Instead, we partner exclusively with local Tennessee farmers, organic agricultural growers, and generational heritage bread makers. By sourcing all of our premium meats, fresh seasonal produce, and grains locally, we ensure an unmatched flavor profile that supports our neighborhood economy and honors real food.

The Signature Anchors & Galley Classics
Indulge in high-stack specialty sandwiches crafted on our house-brushed, freshly baked breads and steamed to melty perfection—a nod to the boilers that once powered river trade on the Duck River. From The Original Steamship (featuring Shaved Steamship Round, Molinari Salami, and Melted Havarti on a Sourdough Hoagie) to The 7th St. Smoke on an Onion Brioche Bun, every selection is engineered for flavor. Taste our signature French Baguette options like The Ironclad Dip served with a rich Bone Marrow Au Jus, or the pressed-to-order Boiler Room Cubano. Looking for unique flavor profiles? Try The Napoleon, loaded with thick-cut organic bacon, house-made strawberry jelly, and a luxurious Whipped Lavender/Honey Sheep Cheese on Chive & Onion Sourdough. We also offer incredible poultry options like The Siren with Green Goddess dressing and The Goat & Gavel, alongside premium vegetarian selections like The Quartermaster.
The Salad Deck & Boiler Bowls
Light, crisp, and nutrient-dense options tossed daily using locally harvested, organic produce. Choose The Lookout Wedge finished with oven-shattered bacon and a balsamic reduction, The Shoreline Market featuring herbed goat cheese and house-candied walnuts, or The Hardtack Caesar topped with house-torn sourdough crouton shards (our gourmet twist on traditional ship provisions) and shaved Reggiano Parmesan. Pair your greens with The Boiler Bowl, our rotating organic house-made soup line featuring classics like Smoked Tomato Bisque.
Artisan Sides & Hand-Cranked Sodas
Complete your high-end lunch with a side of our premium Cast Iron Mac topped with a unique crushed-pretzel crust, or keep it light with The Cargo Fruit bowl. Quench your thirst with our exclusive house line of botanically infused, Hand-Cranked Sodas, featuring unique small-batch flavors like Blackberry-Sage, Blood Orange-Hibiscus, and Ginger-Lime.
