Located in the center of everything, this place has multiple stories of shops and food joints. There's something for everyone. Parking was easy, they have a parking garage. We came out twice for food to this area. It's a nice walkable place. Plenty to see, and plenty to do and centrally located. Easy to use this as a jump off for evening plans or a day trip to shop. Everything was pretty clean, and there's plenty of seating.
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.
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.
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!
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!
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.

They have lobster rolls, lobster grilled cheese and soooo many other yummy options. read more
This place is amazing!! It was such a fun way to have dinner with everyone in our group since we were all able to find a different spot to try and share everything. Another cool thing about the restaurants in the food hall is that you can place your order online and it will text you when it's ready, which is really nice after finding a table and not having to wait in the crowd. I got the BBQ brisket grilled cheese from one of the shops and it was a crowd favorite at my table. It was out of this world amazing. My brother got sushi, my sister got chicken tenders, and my husband got some ice cream, and we were all able to enjoy our food from all of these amazing restaurants without having to drive all over town. It's such a cool concept and I'd 10000% recommend stopping by. They also have cute photo booths throughout! read more

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. read more

One of must visit in Nashville! The whole plaza is restaurants and food. 3 levels of variety choice for the visitors' appetites. Be prepare to wait in line for popular food and fight for the tables. We had food from 3 places and ice cream shop. All good food. Friendly staff. Bathroom is clean. It's very spacious in the food hall. Live music for entertainment. High tables, regular tables, outdoor seats etc. Vibrant and lively spot for the neighborhood! read more
The Assembly Food Hall is one of the most popular and sought after tourist destinations in Nashville. It is spread across three floors, with over 30 different restaurants and food stores serving thousands of visitors every day. There's a huge variety of stores here, including burger shack, BBQ, seafood, lobster, sushi, Indian, Mediterranean, Mexican, sandwich shops, ice parlors, wine bars and so many more. There are tables all around in each floor. Still during peak hours it was difficult to get an empty table. We walked around for few minutes until we say a group leaving a table and grabbed it right away. The are several staff members who walk around and clean the empty tables. There's also long lines at each store when it's rush hours. We waited about 10-15 to order at each store. We spent couple of hours here, got to try some tacos, sushi, lobster roll and ice cream. Ice cream from Hattie's was amazing but rest of the items were okay. But we were happy to experience one of the most popular activities. read more

I would highly recommend going here for a meal. Very large and clean, with lots of seating (indoors and outdoor). Choices include the famous local Hot Fried Chicken places: Hattie B's and Prince's- both must try. But also has Thai food, sushi, Vietnamese food, Mexican food- almost anything you would want. There's also a wine bar owned by Dolly Parton and live music, and it's smack in the middle of Broadway, right next to the historic Ryman auditorium. It's self service and has attached parking. read more
This place was very cool, cafeteria style eatery but with bars and live entertainment. Every kind of food you can think of. Best answer for the friends that cannot agree on what type of food to eat. I ended at Han's Banh Mi & Pho, went with the shrimp pho, amazing. The service was top notch. Would love to try some of the other options, that will be for next time . read more
A fantastic food hall! Great for people of all ages, desires and hunger levels. There are a few bars sprinkled throughout endless restaurant options. A little overwhelming, but in a good way. We ended up ordered sushi and was very impressed at the quantity of food for the very reasonable price. We also grabbed a few happy hour drinks at the bar. There is tons of seating options, great people watching, and of course live music. A great place to make everyone's stomach happy. read more

So many different restaurants to choose from. It's great cuz I wanted sushi and got it from Horu Sushi which was absolutely delicious. My husband got a Philly cheese steak sandwich and then we met at a table and enjoyed what each of us wanted. Love this way of having a meal. Service was great and the environment was awesome. Cant wait to go back. read more
Great food hall in the heart of Downtown Nashville offering a good variety of whatever you want to eat. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating available also. I grabbed ice cream here at Hattie's and it was good. I also wanted to grab some BBQ ribs from HoneyFire, but they ran out as it was later in the night. Live music. Casual. Good service. Please come and create your own adventure. read more

Lots of shopping and dining options to keep you occupied in downtown Nashville! I must note that this food hall can be quite an overstimulating experience on a Saturday at 7 pm, so be wary if you're looking for a peaceful dining experience. Good luck finding somewhere to sit. All the food booths charge $3 for a fountain drink/water unless you want to drink out of a snow cone "cup". Bring a reusable water bottle if you can! There's a parking deck, but they charge by the hour. read more

Is there an elevator for people in wheelchairs to get to 2nd floor and rooftop?
Yes. We saw it but didn't use it. Next to the escalators.
Where can I park for free?
We did not find any free parking. Every lot was pay. We didn't really even find any street parking. All the lots were decently expensive as well.…
Is there parking?
There are several garages in the area, street parking downtown is extremely limited.
Is there anywhere to watch the Titans game on Sundays at the Food Hall? Thx…
They have a big screen TV on both sides of the 2nd floor, but if there is live entertainment that will be in front of the screens instead.
