So many food choices that it's hard to figure out what you're in the mood for. I stopped by a place called radish and had the most delicious healthy vegetarian bowl. There was so much in it and it was so large. There was a bit of lettuce, seasoned rice, lentils, pickled onions, cheese, and oranges. It came with tahini dressing It was perfect. I was able to order and get my food fairly quickly. There is a communal soda fountain so you ask for a cup and Hunt for the soda fountain, which is a few stalls away. This is a really busy place, but you can get a main course, dessert, and snacks. I was there on an exceptionally hot day and I was really nice to be in a cool area.

This is what all downtown food courts should be!! One of my first times visiting Nashville and I am really impressed with this spot. I was in town for a couple of days as part of the Urban League Conference and I found this to be the go to spot for lunch every day. I had a chance to try sushi and burgers and both were excellent. This is a one size fits all kind of operation and anybody in your group that can't find something they like, well they probably weren't really hungry.

This is what all food courts should be like!!!! So many food options that are taste quality! Our fav was the taco place. We got the pork quesadillas and they are so yummy. The atmosphere is good and has a lot of seating.

I would say this has to be one of the better food halls that I've ever experienced. Plenty of options as well as I think the live music performers is what really sets it off. I was here for a conference, and we were easily able to be accommodated with meal cards where we could spend it any of the restaurants there and then also on the rooftop have a blast up there at that bar.

This place is amazing! So many options for food from pizza to BBQ, Mexican to Asian, and lobster rolls to Pho and everything in between. Showed up to lunch with some coworkers and we all got up multiple times to get food. The lobster rolls are amazing, BBQ is taste, the grilled cheese place is amazing, the taco spot is delicious, the soft serve is to die for and that's only to name a few. The place is clean and tight. The tables constantly get cleaned by the workers and they play live music as well. Definitely will be back here next time I'm in Nashville!

Pros: all different crusine options in 1 place, it's quick, live music, plenty of seating Cons: is a bit higher priced As a tourist, this is one of the recommended places to visit when you are in Downtown Nashville. If you go during peak hours (ie dinner time), it gets packed though it tapers off as the time passes. The music and food smells hits you all at once as you go from one building cross the bridge to the other building. Many great options. We tried several places from bbq, hot fried chicken, phô, and other dishes. If you are in the area, check out out though there are plenty local restaurants to try too.

Literally one giant food court. So many great options! Tried sushi, Thai, lobster bisque, matcha, and Mac and cheese bbq sandwich. All of the food was amazing. I will say you do have to be on the lookout for a table, especially if you're eating at a peak hour. Didn't get to go to an event here, but the event and activities lineup looked like lots of fun!

Pulled pork plate

Was visiting from out of town and decided to try out Honey Fire Barbeque! The food hall is large with lots of choices. It was a busy Saturday but we were able to find seating. It's the most varied food hall I've ever been into with so many great option. We got pulled pork bbq plate with Mac/cheese and apples. Two brisket sandwiches with Mac/chesse and green beans. All meats were perfect and the greens beans had a nice flare as the meat in the beans were brisket. The Mac/cheese was just okay. Needed more seasoning and the Mac/cheese was a little runny. Overall great experience!

Good to pick up something quick. They have a variety of cuisines to choose from. We decided on Mexican from Chilangos Tacos and ordered the birria quesa tacos and pollo nachos. Good price point and food was served fast. Open seating in the food hall. Good overall.

Came to the food hall with a group of coworkers and we had a good time! Definitely love that it's a spot where everyone has a food option to choose from. Seating can be tricky but we were able to find a spot to fit everyone!

In the couple days I have been here, I have eaten here twice. Once yesterday for a late lunch...I went to get a Philly Cheesesteak and got a meal, it was a busy Sunday afternoon but I found a seat over by the state and there was a woman playing the guitar and singing which was unexpected for me, since I've never been here to Nashville before. The cheesesteak meal was good. I got the crinkle cut fries, an extra side of whiz, and a diet Dr Pepper. The cheesesteak was delicious, but if you're hungry I'd choose to get double meat. The bread has a nice chewy exterior, and the meat, cheese and grilled onions were excellent. Sat and watched Tory Grace sing a unique version of Free Fallin (Tom Petty). Really enjoyable. My boss flew in from Finland last night, and my two colleagues came in from ATL and Milwaukee today. So we walked back here for lunch. I decided to go to Steam Boys. Kathy was manning the front of the house today, so I looked over the menu and decided to order one beef bao, a bottle of Coke Zero, and the dry zha jang noodles. Big portions! Cucumbers, cilantro, got a medium spice, the noodles were overdone but with the sauce and amount of meat it was not the end of my world. Kathy helped me get situated with the food. I found a table on the bridge in between food halls. I ate almost the entire bowl, but stopped. The bao was simply perfect. Great texture, chewy but held up to the meat and sauce. Great place to go if you have many people with you, and nobody wants to choose one cuisine. Support the people working hard here!

I've tried several vendors at Assembly Food Hall over time, and while I understand the appeal for tourists given its location, it's not somewhere I'd recommend as a local. There are smaller versions of well-known Nashville spots inside, but in my experience they don't quite measure up to their original locations. There are also a few unique food stands you can't find elsewhere in the city, but they're often overwhelmed, and the food quality has felt less consistent over time. The atmosphere can be extremely crowded, and finding seating can be frustrating -- especially during peak hours. What's marketed as lively often ends up feeling chaotic. Assembly makes sense for convenience and variety in one place, particularly if you're visiting downtown. But for locals, there are better standalone options across the city that offer stronger quality and a more enjoyable experience.

I ate the crepe too fast I forgot to take a pic

Stop in Nashville for the night heading back home to OKC. We went to the food hall and it was very impressive. They had lots of different food options. I'm even vegan. It was busy but not overcrowded the parking situation does suck though. I got a lobster melt from Dock&Local and then I got a Dubai crêpe from the crêpe spot fantastic. 10 out of 10, service was nice. Good vibes they had the game playing too. it was overall just a great time.

But if you're looking for an authentic, old-school Nashville music experience, this IS the place! It's crowded. It's hot. Personal space does not exist. Claustrophobics should plan accordingly. The night we were there, they had a bluegrass jam going, and it was fantastic. Close your eyes and you could imagine yourself sitting in some West Virginia holler listening to a bunch of incredibly talented musicians just playing because they love to play. It was uncomfortable, crowded, hot, completely authentic--and I enjoyed every minute of it. The Station Inn is Nashville the way you hope Nashville still exists.

Once inside, people make a mad dash to claim their seats, and they squeeze in as tight as they can. Popcorn, Jack's-like pizza served on paper plates and buckets of beer are available, and the line is long. The music here IS phenomenal, without a doubt. That alone is worth the visit, but be prepared to wait in line and feel like a sardine stuffed in a tin. Not for the claustrophobic,

We had been exploring different parts of Nashville throughout the weekend, and Pete's was definitely one of the more entertaining stops we made. The atmosphere here was exactly what you would expect from a dueling piano bar. The music was loud, energetic, and a lot of fun. The pianists did a great job keeping the crowd involved, and there was a good mix of songs that had everyone singing along. It was one of those places where you can walk in not knowing exactly what to expect and quickly find yourself having a great time. Going with a group of friends made it even better. We were able to grab some drinks, relax, laugh, sing along, and just enjoy the experience. There was a great energy in the room, and the performers really knew how to keep things moving. After spending the weekend in Nashville for the football game, this was a great way to experience another side of the city. We had already visited several historical landmarks and other Nashville attractions, so spending some time at a lively piano bar was a nice change of pace. We had a great time at Pete's and I would definitely recommend it if you are looking for live entertainment and a fun night out in Nashville. It was a memorable stop during our Labor Day weekend trip with friends.

We just finished up at the Catbird Seat and Ashley had called next door to see if they could seat us at the Patterson House. As it turns out they could, and they were ready for us when we made our way across the hall. They gave us a choice of where we'd like to sit, and there were two chairs at the end looking out of the windows at skyline of the city. What better way to end a lovely evening with a lovely lady, but with a lovely view and some fantastic drinks? Holland, like the country, greeted us and set us up for the evening. Holland brought great energy, and was super welcoming. They even offered us drinks on the house for the engagement. Totally unexpected, and that just meant we had to have more than one round to make sure that we could appropriately tip and show our appreciation for the amazing hospitality! The drinks were great. I tend to gravitate towards the less sweet. The Japanese Anchorage scratched that elitch very well being boozy forward, with hints of flavors. She had the Late Summer Margarita, refreshing and sweeter. We shared the Thai Tea Banana Colada. Definitely the sweeter side, but couldn't pass up the opportunity. Very good, a little sweeter and a little heavier than I'd normally prefer. It met both of our preferences right in the middle. Compromise, right? Great experience, and would absolutely come back when in town!

I recommend taking a ride share and walking to your venue on a nice evening. I'm glad the Voorhees building is being restored. I'll be back to try their burger!
