it's my go-to restaurant in assembly! I always get their clam chowder and chips when I go.

great food quick service. sandwich was full of meat. Shrimp was cooked to perfection would recommend this place to anyone

Very good lobster Rolls. Great service. The food hall had lots of different and healthy options for everyone.

We had mix and match tacos. they were the best tacos. we will definitely come back when we return to Nashville. I wish we had one back home

I was surprised reading through the reviews and seeing the overall rating. My food from Dock Local was some of the freshest fish I have had!! I had the lobster roll, cod fish special which came with three pieces of fish fries and hush puppies. I also got two shrimp tacos and two cod tacos as well as a side of the cucumbers. The only thing I wouldn't be ordering again would be the cucumbers as they were overly soggy. The lobster roll was the star!! Buttery soft toasted outside with fresh lobster pulled apart and then homemade mayo sauce. The sauce was slightly heavy but it was still amazing! The shrimp was delicious with the tacos and cod on the two other dishes were breaded lightly with plenty of actual fish. I had the food delivered so can't speak on the service or ambiance but will 100% plan to visit soon in person read more

I got the cold Maine lobster roll and although it was a little pricey at $28 it was actually very filling and super delicious. Worth it- I would go back and get it again. One of my favorite bites from this past Nashville trip actually!! read more

Very popular in the food court. It's a line to order and to wait. They do take your number and text you when the food is ready, which is very helpful. You can grab a table first inside the food court. It is a huge hall and buzzing crowd. The lobster is soft and tasty. The bread is buttery and fluffy. Butter makes it to another level. Overall a great lobster roll. But it's a smaller portion. I will recommend to go for other food options if you are very hungry. This is for the fancy taste and expensive ingredients. read more

This is a super popular store in the food hall, lines get long during lunch hours. We had to wait about 10 minutes to put in our order. It's for take out orders. But there are lots of tables in front of the store in the common area to sit and dine. The menu has several types of lobster dishes like tacos, soups, rolls and sides. Some of the rolls have market price. We ordered the Connecticut roll that was about $30. They took about 7-8 minutes to prepare the order. The sandwich was unassembled in the box. The bread was toaster with butter and the lobster was in a foil pack The taste and quality of the bread could have been better. The chunk of lobster was good, pieces were big. I would have preferred the sandwich to be put together from the kitchen, that would have allowed the lobster, butter and the bread to blend together for better taste. read more

Local Dock at Assembly Food Hall did not disappoint. I got the lobster grilled cheese with chips and the lobster bisque dipping sauce, and it was sooo good. The food came out quickly, the sandwich had a generous amount of lobster, and every bite was packed with flavor. Easily one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. I'll definitely be back. read more

Obviously the price is crazy and the roll size is minuscule. The big issue was the lack of flavor overall. They chips that went with the crab dip were very good, but the dip itself still lacked flavor. Service was quick, but the experience wasn't one I'd repeat. read more

Ordered garlic shrimps and fish tacos. I was very impressed that it tasted very fresh. Highly recommended. But their clam chowder could've been a little better. It was very thick. read more

This place is one of many restaurants in a big food court on Broadway. I love that we have such a great selection of choices for different types of food and from different countries. The cleaning staff at the food court is pleasant and attentive. They are on top of every table cleaning and even disposing of your garbage. We ordered a lobster roll. It was fresh and delicious. The flavors of the sauce cucumbers and chips were amazing. I want to go back tomorrow to try more things. The staff was super nice and gave us so much information about the lobster; the franchise and choices. read more

Quick service, spot on lobster roll, the fries were tasty, and the Assembly Food Hall's ambiance and vibe is cool! I'd eat here again.

The food is always the best! It's hard to order anything else when we always want to eat here.

I eat at Assembly Food Hall all the time, but this was my first time eating at Dock Local. IT WAS AMAZING. I immediately recommended it to a couple of my friends that walked by. read more

Really didn't expect much, but I was blown out of the water with how excellent this taco was. It's the best fish taco I've had, the batter is light and airy, with a nice crunch. The fish they use is cod, it's thick. Huge pieces, very filling. The sweet and spiciness from the sauce is the perfect combination for this taco. I even went back for a second after I was done. Bonus they cook it fresh! It comes out pipping hot. Serviced was kind, I will definitely be back. read more

I ordered the garlic lobster fries. You get a huge amount and I did not think I would finish them. They were amazing! They do not accept cash. It is credit card only. They ask for your phone number so they can text you when your order is ready. It did take a little while because they were busy, but it was worth the wait. read more

I was walking around Assembly food hall and chose this place. My main reason was cost. I saw that Pharmacy across the hall was asking $12 for a burger, $5 for tater tots and $3 for a drink, so a meal for one would have been $20 without tax. I saw Dock and the offerings looked good. I was going to eat something small - so not a big meal. I opted for the fish tacos. The Baja Fish taco was $5.75 and I just saw a guy pick up two of them - they looked pretty good. I only got one, and a bottle of water (Dasani, they didn't have any other options no water cups or anything). Aside: this is no knock on Dock Local, but Assembly food hall, I did not notice any drinking fountains at all. It would be nice if it was like the Farmer's Market and they had drinking fountains where you can fill your own water, instead of buying plastic bottles. Also Assembly food Hall did not have any recycle bins at all. I asked the information person if they had any recycle bins and she just said "Just throw it in the garbage there" #Facepalm. I was asked to provide my phone number so they could text me when its ready. It did not take them long to make the taco. I saw the receipt and they spelled my name Chirs which was funny. The taco was very generously sized. There was some kind of sweet sauce in it which I didn't like. But the fish was fresh, and flavorful. I really love cilantro and I was at least happy there was some in there. If it were me making it, I would have added more though. The lime and cilantro really made the taco. The fish portion was huge and the whole thing kind of fell apart. But I ended up cleaning my plate (like I do). I went to the nearby restroom to wash my hands because I got sticky sweet sauce all over my hands. Food was really good and hit the spot for lunch. I will venture here more and explore again. Maybe when I want to splurge I will try the lobster roll. Cost again, was my main reason for choosing Dock. Those Pharmacy prices are mind blowing :( read more

Went to the one in Assembly Hall on Saturday at lunch time! The line was really long and so was the wait time. I ordered a salmon taco and the lobster bisque, the latter of which came with chips. I enjoyed the salmon taco. The lobster bisque was very salty. Pretty pricey given it is seafood, and a solid spot overall! read more

I'm surprised that this has a 4.1 star rating on Yelp. I really liked what I ordered from here. I ordered a Nashville fish n chips basket with fries. The basket comes with some hush puppies that were crunchy and moist on the inside. The fish was the same, a nice crunchy batter on the outside side with moist cod inside. I ordered mine medium hot in terms of their spicy level. They had a really nice tartar sauce that paired nicely with everything. The service was great. I was given really great recommendations by the young lady at the register. Because it's located in the Assembly Food Hall, there was plenty of seating to choose from. Overall you get your moneys worth with the amount of food they give you. People were eyeing my tray as I walked around looking for a seat. So, that says a lot. read more

Located inside Assembly Hall (behind the Pharmacy Burger), dock local focuses on lobster, crab, shrimp, and battered fish. Overall my experience with the food was meh. We got the Maine Lobster Roll and the Fish & Chips. The Fish & Chips was the winner between the two - one of the fish came slightly charred but solid overall. The lobster roll was not good. Lobster should be buttery, delicate, and essentially melt in your mouth. This lobster was not that. It was chewy and stringy; typically a sign that it was over-boiled then cooled down. Ambiance was what ambiance is in assembly hall (somewhat loud with live music) and service was nice/friendly. It's an order at the counter place so can't go too wrong with "service". Food was ready quickly. read more

I love coming to the Assembly Food hall. You get to choose from a ton of options depending on your mood, and today was Seafood! I ordered the lobster room and shoestring fries and was very happy with that decision. I don't feel like they skimped on the lobster, and the bun was very soft and garlicy. And who doesnt love shoe string fries?! They were cooked perfectly and was a great side to my roll. read more

This to go restaurant is located inside the Assembly Food Hall. There are about 10 yo go restaurants with seating all over the place. Since it was Saturday, it was loud and busy with people everywhere. I ordered The Connecticut sandwich and it was pretty good. The portion was on the small side and the roll could've been more buttery but otherwise it was good. read more

Oh man this pains me. After attending the 2023 Yelp Kickoff Event and hearing how the owners of DL were disappointed in their current Yelp rating. The food at the event was excellent! (I had to pay for parking so I took advantage.) We got upstairs (Located in AFH). I wanted what was downstairs! Well the Crab Tostada was a test for the event. The Shrimp Sandwich was available. I did go with the blackened shrimp taco bc the shrimp was delicious. I thought the chowder would be a safe bet. Well it is not what you think of with clam chowder. It wasn't bad - it was Luke warm and more like potato soup than clam chowder. The taco was a five. I would go back for that shrimp alone. It wasn't super hot either but the flavor mix was great. The chips were disgusting... cold and greasy. I was pumped that this was an extra and was sadly disappointed. Service wasn't super friendly there was no one in line, but it felt like we were an inconvenience. read more

After walking through all the options through the hall I decided on seafood. I got the Connecticut and the clam chowder. The Connecticut was served warm with butter which seemed appropriate for the weather we were having along with the soup. Both were solid options that really hit the spot. The sandwich seems small but the lobster meat was a sizable amount and tasty. The side of chips were more of a filler. read more

We went to the Dock Local located in the 5th & Broadway assembly hall food court. Plenty of shared space seating near by. This might be the only seafood option here. The lobster roll was amazing. The shrimp and salmon tacos were also very good. The shrimp taco also surprisingly had a little unexpected kick at the end. The assembly hall setup makes it easy to groups to grab different entrees from different restaurants but make Dock Local one of those options! read more

Hubs and I sat at Single Barrel bar and scanned the QR code and ordered from Dock Local. That scenario is so convenient. We enjoyed the Lobster Roll and two tacos. One fish, which was Cod and it was a huge piece of fish, and one grilled shrimp. It was all very good. Great place to shop, eat, and grab a cocktail all in one place with many options. read more

We wanted to try some of the lobster to see if we come back for more. Think we did it backwards. We ordered the garlic lobster fries. The lobster was a decent amount but it was really dry. We were in town with several family members and one group said they came back three times for the lobster rolls. Flip a coin. We love lobster so maybe it was just the wrong thing to order. read more

Tried Dock Local on a recent visit to Nashville. We ordered the lobster nachos for the table and I had the lobster grilled cheese sandwich. The lobster nachos were generously topped with large chunks of lobster meat. Everyone in the party enjoyed it very much and there was plenty to go around for four people. For my main I had the lobster grilled cheese on sourdough bread. The sandwich was also full of generous chunks of lobster and cheese. It was very good and I would return. read more

I was hesitant on eating here because most lobster places are pricey and gyp you on the amount of lobster they provide. I ate the lobster grilled cheese that had the perfect amount of lobster and cheese melted to perfection. I also had the lobster nachos (removed the chip and substituted for fries) it was AMAZING. Definitely couldn't eat it all. I put it in the air fryer the next day and still loved every bite. I've found my new spot in the Assembly Food Hall. read more

I'm not sure what is up with the more reviews. I tried Dock local at a yelp event. It was so good I had to go back the next day to get the same sandwich but bigger, lol. The shrimp po'boy was good shrimp was perfectly cooked, and the bread was nicely toasted. In not a big fan of shrimp, but I'm all in for the poboy. The chips were so crispy and not oily, with I liked. If you are around I wound definitely give this polo a try! read more

It's a fine cafeteria style place but the mostly claw roll is super small. Definitely not worth $25. Service is fine.

Fish was so overly breaded, so greasy, and so overcooked and tough that it wasn't edible. Almost a $30 dinner that I couldn't eat and they had no care to make it up to me. I'm a local and this is one of the main reasons we don't like enjoying our city because food is subpar most places. A restaurant doing a British style fish and chips located in such a busy area shouldn't mess it up that poorly. I ordered it to go and had no silverware or condiments. No one was at the counter to even ask. I just think you should do better when you're in an area that stays so busy. That's possibly the only reason you're still open. People try you once and then never return but since it's mostly tourists... read more

Ordered a lobster roll here the other day while walking around Fifth & Broadway and it was just alright. Not really much flavor which surprised me. Don't think it was $30 well spent for the roll and a bottled water, but you live and learn read more
