    Pulled Pork Melt Storm
    Amy Y.

    Cheese Lab at the Assembly Food Hall offers pleasantly surprising fare at reasonable prices for its location. Service is efficient with a texting system to alert you when your order is ready. There is plenty of seating, we chose to sit outside as it was a nice night, and is a bit quieter. The Pulled Pork Meltstorm & Smash Grilled Cheeseburger Melty were both flavorful and hearty. The Buffalo Bill Chicken Melty was devoured in seconds, but 1/2 the Mac and Cheese was left as it was not the best option. The Cheese Lab is a good choice for quick, tasty & reasonably priced food at Assembly Food Hall.

    GOOD MORNING SMASHVILLE
    Tina B.

    While downtown Nashville we went into the Assembly Food Hall (North Hall) to check out some of the various choices. We made the best choice by stopping in the CHEESE LAB! We had literally the best bagel breakfast sandwich "Good Morning Smashville" and the most yummy Jumbo Cheetos Ball 'Boudin Ball' rolled in hot Cheetos, and filled with lab sauce, beef, and rice! Out of this world!

    Brisket Mac Samich. Quite good!

    Date of visit: March 16, 2025 Having been to the food hall about 18 months ago, I was pleasantly surprised to see this new addition since my last visit as I am a sucker for a good grilled cheese samich. Cheese Lab offers a number of options depending on how fancy you want to get with your hot fromage, too. The Smoked Brisket Mac & Cheese was fantastic! It actually was so good that I didn't need ketchup and I really can't even complain about the price of lack of an included side, the food was just that good. Bonus points for getting to watch staff use a handheld flamethrower to melt the cheese while the samiches were on the grill! Would have liked to try the sweet potato fries but will save those for the next visit.

    Firebird Honey Melty

    Sooooo good! They have really fun options and the bread is amazing. I got the Firebird Honey Melty with no pickles (pictured), other girls got southern heritage grilled ham duo and American cheese classic - loved them all!

    Brisket

    Toastie was very good but a little small. Coukd have done with more in it and to be wasted more. Very quick and friendly service.

    Birria Melt

    The Birria Melt is a must try! My son and I enjoyed every last bite. Friendly and fast service was definitely a plus.

    Smashville Breakfast
    Jacqueline C.

    What a cool idea! My husband and I went to Nashville for the weekend and got our first meal of the day here. I got the Smashville Breakfast and he got the Craftsman Breakfast. $9.00 each, not bad pricing for downtown Nashville. Food was hot and really tasty.

    Over priced and over rated!! I had the Smokehouse, brisket sandwich. It was swimming in Carolina BBQ sauce. So much so I thought I had a Carolina BBQ sauce sandwhich!! Infuriating. I couldn't taste the brisket or any of the mac-n-cheese, which was all of a teaspoon. I was so excited anticipating this sandwich and so dissatisfied after eating a few bites. No thanks, Nashville you can have this one!

    The American Classic Melty

    The grilled cheese was amazing. The service was fast and quick. And the ambiance of the place was clean, and picked up.9

    Bbq Mac and cheese brisket

    Best thing we ate in Nashville, from the very first bite! Took about 10 minutes to get it but worth the wait.

    Tomato soup and the Nashville Smokehouse Melty
    Pam W.

    Cheese Lab is located on the second floor of the Assembly Food Hall in downtown Nashville. Their specialty is grilled cheese sandwiches, and they offer a variety! You can find Buffalo chicken, Nashville smokehouse with brisket, and Brie and fig, just to name a few. They also offer soups (tomato, broccoli and cheese, and French onion), tots, salads, and cookies. My husband and I stopped by before attending a concert at Bridgestone. We each had a Nashville Smokehouse sandwich with cheese, brisket, and barbecue sauce. Our sandwiches were great with plenty of meat and cheese. We shared some tots, and I had tomato soup and he a side salad. All of our sides were delicious! His salad was so fresh with fresh strawberries, dried cranberries, and feta cheese. It was a great size for a side salad. My soup was the perfect complement to my sandwich. If you are looking for a quick bite before a show you can't go wrong with a visit to the Cheese Lab.

    Chocolate bar

    Tried the new Dubai chocolate today and I really disliked it. It's not sweet at all. I don't recommend. wasn't worth my 10 bucks.

    Comfort food done right! The classic grill cheese was grilled to perfection. Just look at that cheese pull. The cup of french onion soup was not salty but a compliment to the sandwich.

    We had the Southern heritage ham duo. The cheese was melted very well and the bread was grilled just right.

    This is one of my favorite sandwich places to eat. I am genuinely impressed with the service as…read morethey can be swamped and the team tries their best to keep up with the line. 1. They let you try really anything to make sure you'll like it. A good example is truffle cream, but even the cheeses. 2. They try and get ahead of the line. By that I mean while they are making sandwiches they reach out to get the next order, and I'm always impressed that they remember the order. If they don't, or are not confident they do follow up. 3. Lexi and Sam today were amazing handling sandwiches and the customers with grace and kindness. They made us feel like we were special and again didn't make us feel rushed. 4. Additionally, I have an allergy and Lexi was completely understanding. She not only switched gloves but she made my sandwich in a completely different area to make sure nothing was cross contaminated. 5. I have never been disappointed in a sandwich I have gotten here. "Negatives" it should be said that the sandwiches are on the expensive side. Especially if you add anything extra. Which is why I tend to come here as a treat, a friend is in town, or if someone hasn't tried this place before. Surprisingly the sandwiches are big and it can be tough to finish the full sandwich in one sitting, but also that can be dinner or lunch tomorrow. As far as I know I haven't found a free parking area, so you do have to pay for parking.

    Excellent customer service, and very good sandwiches. I just discovered All'Antico Vinaio, and…read morebased on the stellar reviews I had to give it a try. All three people behind the counter greeted me enthusiastically and with big smiles when I walked in. I perused the menu and opted for La Toscana. While I was waiting, I was enticed by the beautiful display of delicious and fresh ingredients in the display case. Every sandwich is made to order, but they worked very quickly so I didn't have to wait long. Overall the sandwich was excellent. In particular the Truffle Honey really took it over the top in terms of great flavors. I did feel that the focaccia was a bit too crispy, at least to my taste. I'm not sure if this was a one-off issue or if this is how they always make the bread. I would have preferred the focaccia to be quite a bit softer, but maybe that's just my personal preference. There is both indoor and outdoor seating, but it was a very hot day so I stayed inside with the air conditioning. The place is really clean with some nice decor. The experience was really good, and I would certainly recommend this as a great sandwich shop with excellent Italian ingredients. I'll just hope for softer focaccia next time.

I'm a soup lover so I can totally eat it all year round (yes, during the summer heat too). The pasta was good and the salad too.

The staff was friendly and the place to seating arrangement was a bit out there but overall the atmosphere flowed great. Parking is tricky around the area but Germantown is like that.

I do appreciate the quick service and cleanliness of the establishment. Edit: thank you for your reply, Ryan. I tried emailing the restaurant, as I have my receipt. Please let me know how I can get that to you.

Upon entering the Great Hall of the Sandwich Palace, the menu is posted in the nave to the left. Directly in the front of the Grand Hall, you will find a pleasant maid of the court minding the cash register, pleasantly taking orders and greeting customers with kindness. The ambiance is a friendly neighborhood court reminiscent of the sort of place one might harken to from the recesses of their experiences of their youth. Bill, or William if I might dare, I Knight thee Epicurean Dean of Sandwich, Earl of Inventive Gourmet Delight's and Viscount of Aioli. The sandwiches here are truly culinary works of art. The blending of flavors, textures, and culinary artistry combine to deliver an experience that is uncommon. I ordered the Pittsburg turkey sandwich. Typically, a turkey sandwich is a journey to the banal, a milk toast expression of a rather healthy yet unsatisfying sustenance. This sandwich, however, elevated this ordinary and unoriginal offering to an atmospheric gourmet delight. The addition of the garlic French fries directly incorporated into the sandwich was genius. Well done William of Sandwich, your Palace is exceptional and should I have the honor of passing your way again, I will approach your portal and once again and beg entrance to your culinary delights.

I got a weekly special which was a tuna and it was fresh and light. For the money, it was a ton of food and I left waddling out. The space itself is great, dog friendly and perfect for a good bite.
