Hattie Jane's Creamery at Assembly Food Hall

This is one of the most popular shops in AFH. It was even suggested by one of the tour guides during our visit to Studio B. It’s a small store mostly for take out. They have several different flavors of ice cream, parfaits and milkshakes. For ice cream they had 16 flavors, 3 kinds of parfaits, couple of milkshakes including one booze add-on, and over 20 types of toppings. For ice cream, they also had several types of cones like waffle, vegan, gluten free and salted caramel. We went to the store during peak lunch hours. We waited about 10 minutes in the line for our turn. We got the single scoop of vanilla flavor with sprinkles. The ice cream had amazing flavor, so dense and creamy. As advertised, it was actually handmade ice cream. The price was decent for the size of the cup, about $6. The servers were very friendly, they were generous with the quantity of toppings. They were working super hard to serve customers as fast as possible to keep the long line moving. Highly recommended spot among all the shops in the food hall.

During our visit to Nashville we visited the Asswmbky Food Hall and found Hattie Jane’s! Such great ice cream - not a cookies and cream fan but their cookie ice cream is fantastic as is their chocolate. Loved it. My daughter loved their honeycomb. Highly recommend!!

So we hit up Assembly Food Hall in downtown Nashville for a late-night dinner—and the place was lit. Live music, crowds, and major weekend energy even on a weeknight. Before dinner, I couldn’t resist the ice cream stall that had people lining up—always a good sign, right? I grabbed a scoop of their dark chocolate (well, sort of dark chocolate) in a waffle cone. It wasn’t super rich or bold like true dark chocolate, but it wasn’t bad either. My husband and I shared the cone, and honestly, it was a nice little pre-dinner treat. Nothing mind-blowing, but pretty decent for a food hall scoop.

I attended a studio B tour and our tour guide highly reminded the Elvis Presley Shake from Hattie Jane’s Creamery. It’s a peanut butter and banana milk shake with everything, whipped cream and sauces. Located on the 2nd floor of the Assembly Food Hall. It was pretty good and went perfect after a spicy Nashville chicken sandwich. They also have special flavored ice creams and milkshakes that you can add alcohol to! I sampled the Goo Goo & Jack which has Nashvilles infamous Goo goo candy and some jack. It was really good, service was great and a perfect place for a sweet treat. There’s plenty of seating at the assembly food hall.

Yo this was kinda rizz but we may have gotten ripped off, because there was a gigantasaurus gap within our turtle ice cream parfait cup 😡😡 That is why this place lost aura point. -100 aura. However, the parfait was pretty rizz, so I maintained my alpha sigmaness

This is a great creamery. My servers were really friendly and patient and gave us many samples. However, their ice cream had too much sugar for me. I ordered the banana pudding flavor finally. The first bites were great but it became sweeter and sweeter.

Anyone who gave this place less than five stars just doesn’t know what good-tasting ice cream is. I enjoyed my Unicorn Parfait!

Super high quality ice cream, friendly service, nice atmosphere and decor. I like the ice cream but loved their generous milkshake! (and you can combine 2 flavors). My new favorite ice cream place in the Nashville area.

Love this concept!! This is a gigantic food hall that is immaculately designed, with cuisine options of all kinds. Whether you're craving sushi, lobster rolls, bbq, or tacos, they've got you covered here. On top of that, there are live performers in every corner, and there's plenty of seating. There were so many people gathering together for a meal after work, along with tourists like me. Only came here for dessert - Hattie Jane's for ice cream, and Cotton & Snow for shave ice.

Arrived on Saturday at 7 and every table was taken by groups of friends and even families with kids. With so many food options, I get why this is a popular spot. Thai, grilled cheese, Vietnamese, tacos, barbeque, and a bar serving up great drinks. All the food was decent but the real value was everyone picking what worked for them in this charming space. By 9 the place seemed to be quieting down and we could stay and talk in a quieter environment which was nice.

Assembly Food Hall is a food lover's paradise with over 30 eateries and bars, and there's tons of open seating to chill out. But it's more than just food and drinks. It also has a rooftop for live bands, sports watch parties, dancing and more. You can even host private events. We popped into the food hall for a quick bite while visiting Nashville. I had a sweet tooth and stumbled upon Whisk Crêpes Café right near the info desk. I wish I had more time to explore the food hall. It's one of the biggest food halls I've ever seen, and there's something for everyone. I would've loved to try more dishes or hang out on the rooftop. It's important to note that Assembly Food Hall does not allow outside food and drinks. I will definitely make a stop next time I'm in town!

There's so many food options it's impossible to choose! You can't go wrong stopping here.

We have visited this several times on this trip. Quality/Quantity - So many great selections! See all my pictures and their website. 30+ eateries and bars; there is anything and everything a person can want. :) 3 stages. Skydeck with concerts. Happy Hour: Mon-Thur from 3 - 6pm. We hit the bar, got food from Sixty Vines, Hans Bahn Mi and Pho, Istanbul Shawarma, Thai Esane, Five Daughters Bakery (not sure if that was from the building next door...?), etc. See pictures. Atmosphere - Open 7 days a week from 9am to 10pm or midnight. Good size location, maze like. Indoor and outdoor seating. Open seating. My favorite spot is outdoors overlooking the "strip." Hourly parking throughout the area. Service - Overall good. You can rent out the place from 12 to 4500 people! Price - Depends on what you buy, eat, and drink. Cashless venue. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2021; we will probably be back a few more times before leaving.

**October 29, 2024** I visited Assembly Food Hall around noon, conveniently located in Downtown Nashville. There's paid garage parking right next to the building, making it easy to access. Inside, the hall offers a diverse array of cuisine options, making it an excellent spot to bring friends and family visiting Nashville, as everyone can choose whatever cuisine they're in the mood for. I decided to try Smokin Chikin and ordered the Chicken Dark with Nashville hot flavor, accompanied by a side of house cole slaw. The chicken is first cooked on a rotisserie, ensuring it remains juicy and tender. Once it's done, it's placed on the grill, where they add your selected flavor. The Nashville hot flavor was a delightful explosion of spicy and savory notes. The chicken had a charred exterior that added a satisfying bite, while the meat inside was incredibly moist, infused with the bold spices characteristic of Nashville hot chicken. Each bite delivered a perfect balance of heat and flavor, with a lingering warmth that was both exhilarating and enjoyable. The house cole slaw was the perfect complement to the spicy chicken. It was fresh and crisp, with a creamy dressing that provided a cool contrast to the heat of the chicken. The slaw was lightly seasoned, allowing the freshness of the cabbage and carrots to shine through, creating a refreshing palate cleanser between bites of the flavorful chicken. Overall, my experience at Assembly Food Hall was delightful, and I look forward to returning to explore more of the culinary offerings.

I love how many options are available here! It can get a bit overwhelming, considering the variety, but their website is helpful when it comes to checking out the options and trying to find each of them. I tried the sushi place (highly recommend the truffle salmon and tuna tower) and the dumplings - both were delicious and I'd definitely visit them again. This is a generally popular part of Downtown, so expect some crowds and a bit of a wait for orders. There's an inside and outside, and the venue is kid-friendly. There's lots to do and see, so bring friends or plan a date here. You can easily spend 1-2 hours just exploring.

On our visit to Downtown Nashville, our large group of 15 stopped to grab a bite here and it was great! Plenty of seating both inside and on their patio decks, plenty of food options and choices, large screens broadcasting sports events plus live entertainment! This is a perfect meeting place! This is a self service place so there were a variety of stalls to place your orders and retrieve your items. There was dining room staff cleaning vacated tables of used dishes. It was busy for a Friday evening so they probably could have had more on had to clean up tables more quickly. Overall experience was very good and not too expensive! I highly recommend a visit.

Great restaurants at reasonable prices. We came here for lunch and for drinks later in the night. Beautiful style of buildings and lounge areas. Right in the middle of the action on broadway street. Highly recommend.

Whats not to like. Every trip to Nashville this is a must stop. I love that I can get the best birria tacos and hot chicken in the city in one place. My son LOVES the ice cream place that has so many vegan option and the new grill cheese place what a hit. Thanks Nashville Assembly Food hall for having great food, fantastic vibes, and a parking garage!!!!!

I was in the middle of my Nashville explorations when I stumbled upon Assembly Food Hall. The timing was perfect as I was a little hungry and needed some sustenance. It just so happened that there was a Prince's Hot Chicken in the hall, and since that was on my list of places to try I made my way over. Located on Broadway in the heart of the action, Assembly lies within a small shopping area that houses several retailers. The space is large - it's split into two main areas joined together by a sky bridge with plenty of seating scattered throughout the space. They have a good selection of eateries that offer a variety of cuisines. I noticed that several of them were outposts of popular Nashville spots such has Hattie B's, Five Daughters Bakery, The Pharmacy, and the aforementioned Prince's. I ended up getting Prince's because hot chicken and because Nashville - my full experience there will be in a separate review. Overall, solid offerings at Assembly - the location is perfect if you're exploring Broadway and want a sampling of cuisines including Nashville hot spots. It's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

10/10. Variety of food options not to mention every bite we had was absolutely delicious!! Very family friendly, great lively atmosphere. The longest line was Princes which I will be going back to try.

A very large food court with a ton of different foods to choose from. It does get crowded but there are so many businesses to choose from you don't have to wait for long. There is live music and the lighting is nice makes it feel like an intimate concert. If you don't know where to eat or craving something sweet the Assembly Food Hall is the place to go.

This place is such a treat! Located in the heart of downtown Nashville just off of Broadway "Honky Tonk" Row. They have a large variety of food vendors to choose from. Whatever you're in the mood for: Pizza, tacos, Thai, Indian, sushi...you name it! I tried Horu Sushi Kitchen and it was delicious! It's very clean and there is ample seating. One thing to keep in mind is they are cashless. Also there is a Hattie B's Hot Chicken right outside but the line is always very long. Go on inside the Food Hall and you will find the original Nashville hot chicken, Prince's! Enjoy!

This is my favorite type of establishment: a big space dedicated to different types of food. Assembly Food Hall was one of the first places I visited during my last trip to Nashville, after getting off the plane and dropping off my things at my hotel. I needed a place to get food and a lil' drink, and I found both here. I'm pretty decisive when it comes to food, but I had to take two laps around the food hall in order to figure out what I wanted. You can find Thai, Mexican, Vietnamese, Japanese and Mediterranean, as well as barbecue, crepes, charcuterie, burgers and sandwiches, salads, and, of course, Nashville hot chicken. For dessert, you'll find ice cream, an edible cookie dough joint, shaved ice and cotton candy. Then there are bars where you can get a beer, wine or any kind of cocktail your little heart desires. I landed at Chilangos Tacos, because you can't go wrong with Mexican food. (Read my review about them for more details.) I got a single taco, then bopped over to a bar in a different area of the food hall for a crisp glass of Riesling. Then I found a table and I ate my taco and drank my wine while people-watching. Food halls are good places to people-watch, especially food halls on Broadway in Nashville. Assembly Food Hall is located in Fifth + Broadway, an area of downtown that has lots of shops and restaurants in an outdoor setting. It's basically an outdoor shopping mall.

This location was so fun! Just a short walk from broadway and so many wonderful food options! I opted for a BBQ Spot, the meat was very tasty. Right nearby was an ice cream shop, so I got something to go. Highly recommend coming here for a plethora of food options and to cool off from the heat!

Was driving back through Nashville to Ohio when we decided to stop off at the Assembly Food Hall. What an interesting concept that I wish was in a few other major towns. We ordered ahead so I can't talk of the service but the ambience is that of well a food hall. Which is super cool. Lots of places to check out and try if you stop by! Can't wait to return and try a few more places.

This place is awesome. It's a mix of a lot of kinds of food. Like a food court in the mall kind of thing but better. There was barbecue and barbecue...tried the Honey Fire - brisket nachos which was good and filling. Their wings was just right. They also had Bahn mi, Sushi, Shawarma, fried chicken , ice cream and many more. The Hahn bahn mi place had good bahn mi sandwiches . Everybody eating here all looked happy and excited. Definitely a cacophony of sounds with a lot of chatter but you can still hear the live singer they had. They had Carl Wonker who had a wonderful voice. He made the place sound cool and pleasant. Great place to eat before hitting the honky tonk bars along broadway. You can pick whatever suits your fancy. The barbecue place Prince looked promising but the line was too long and we were too hungry. Will try again next time.

This is the best food hall I've ever been to. They have so many options of all types of food. Lots of space and seating with great live music on either side. I had a delicious Neapolitan pizza and my family tried the prince's hot chicken which they said real had a good kick to it. We also tried the liege waffle and ice cream place that were nice too. Just a great place for everyone to find something they want.

Assembly Food Hall puts the food halls in my city to shame. There was such an excellent variety of options, from tacos to sushi to shawarma and everything in between. The venue is easy to navigate, and ordering is well organized and simple to navigate online. Houston, take notes! Our spread consisted of hot chicken sandwiches from Hattie B's, pizza from Desano, dumplings from Steam Boys, snow ice from Cotton & Snow, and monstrous sundaes from Hattie Janet's. Great food accompanied by live music... what more could you ask for?

Had lunch here and it worked well for a big group once we were able to hold down a table. Ordered the Oke bowl from PokeNash. Standard poke, nothing extraordinary, in fact I prefer the poke place near home. Also ordered a custom shaved ice from Cotton and Snow. I had different experiences of what I was getting (I was thinking of the Taiwanese shaved snow/ice from Teaspoon if that's familiar) but it was just a big orb of ice with liquid flavor (I chose coconut) squirted over the top. I added condensed milk or cream or whatever it was, Oreos, and chocolate syrup. It was good but I only ate a portion of it because I wasn't interested in the ice ball.

This is an awesome upscale foodie food court. So many options from hot chicken, Thai, pizza, sushi, donuts, cookie dough. You name it it's probably here. They have live music and they serve alcohol so it's a great place that's more family friendly so you can eat, hang out and enjoy great music. There's two different sections so walk around first so you can see all your options. There's tons of seating and they are constantly clearing the tables.

A wonderful food hall addition to downtown Nashville! This was my first time there and I wanted to try EVERYTHING. There are options for everyone from a lobster grinder to brisket grilled cheese (which was delish!) to ice cream and crepes. Plenty of seating, multiple bars, creative cocktails. You're sure to find something you'll enjoy!

This review is for people who travel in a wheelchair. I recommend coming here early (between 9:30 and 10) because crowds can be a little daunting. There are elevators to everything. The doors to skydeck are supposed to open automatically but the sensor is broken so you need someone to hold open door for you. I didn't use the bathroom so I can't say anything about that. The food is good. It's nice to have so much variety in one place. There are very talented musicians playing live music throughout the day, but of course, this is Nashville!

Great choices in food A great place to grab a meal and drink before a concert at Bridgestone.

Place is outstanding. Come hungry with friend and sample the fixins. Three can, all different eateries and the food was good. Lobsters rolls - in Tennessee- nailed it. Lamb shawarma, lamb was excellently cooked with a great char and fresh ingredients although veggies were ice cold, pet peeve of mine. There are easily a dozen and a half places to eat and 95% looked like great options. Live music venue with a bar attached just cuz it's Nashville. Also, a wonderful upstairs wine bar scene. I'd come here all the time if I lived here. Not sure why we can't get it together in NY with ONE food mall as out together as this one - outside of Flushing of course.

Food hall with numerous restaurants, great place for groups so that everyone can get whatever type of food they want. Live music throughout the day and night. Even the pickiest eaters will find something to satisfy the hunger and quench their thirst.

Popped by here for a bite and a drink & stumbled into the homegrown bar. I love a good Old fashion , and believe me our Bartender Jen made THE BEST OLD FASHION IVE TASTED in Nashville. This bar is incredibly lucky to have her working here.. whatever they are paying, they need to triple it. Additionally, The Mac & Cheese & grilled cheese from the cheese lab was delicious! All & All a great lunch .

This place is such a cool spot to hang out, eat, and listen to live music. My husband and I came here probably every day that we were in Nashville. Food was good, lots of places to choose from, and service was quick especially when you order through the app for some places. Highly recommend this spot and it's local surroundings

This is the perfect location for a food hall! There's tons of amazing local options. Great bars. Plenty of seating. Nice staff. Great spot for lunch or dinner.

We stopped in on a Saturday around 11 so it wasn't too crowded yet. Great place to go with a group who may have different food preferences. Lots to pick from. We ordered from Princes Hot Chicken & DeSano Pizzeria. We sat at one of their bars and ate. Very good time.

At Assembly Food Hall, the variety of restaurants and food choices can be very exciting and overwhelming at the same time. I love how vibrant and energetic the atmosphere is, and they have live music as well! I am usually not a fan of food courts or halls, but I like this one because it has a very inviting space and with the amount of places to choose from, the culinary adventure really shines.

One side was closed for a private event on a Wednesday evening which was a bit annoying as we were told there were vegan eateries but they weren't on the open side. There were plenty of options including tacos, crepes, thai, a bar, cotton candy/ice cream and more. Plenty of seating available and a live band was playing. There are staff clearing tables regularly. A couple of us had Thai and the pad thai was tasty. The other person had tacos and enjoyed them. There is a drink station to fill up your cup from wherever you buy your soft drink. The station did have a water pump to fill up the reusable watter bottle that I always carry (free!). Great place for everyone to get what they want to eat.

While in town visiting family we decide to head to the Assembly Food Hall in downtown Nashville which has a great vibe. Live bands....numerous food and drink options. But this trip I was craving seafood and decided to try Horu Sushi Kitchen. Let me tell you it did not disappoint. The staff were so helpful in recommending some great dishes! We ordered the tuna tostadas, the pot stickers and the tuna tower. I have no complaints on anything!!! They send you a text when your food is ready. The food came out rather quickly and was delicious! The tostadas were a perfect amount of freshness and spice from the fresh jalapeños and red onions.....the tuna tower was tasty with the wasabi sauce on the bottom and who doesn't love a great pot sticker. Can't wait to come back and get my seafood/sushi kick.

We loved Assembly Food Hall! They had so many choices for restaurants, sweets, and drinks! We were in town for CMA Fest so we were worried the lines would be long, but when we visited on Friday and Monday, the lines weren't bad at all! We visited for lunch both days and we tried Honeyfire Barbecue and ordered their bbq nachos- wow is all I can say. They were so good and the portion was plenty large enough for 2 ppl to split! We also tried the Smokin Chickin's pulled chicken loaded fries and the portion was also large. It was very tasty. I'd honestly recommend either option, they were both good!

I've been to Assembly Food Hall a few times now, and I think it's the perfect place to take out-of-town visitors. With a wide variety of food options, plenty of space to spread out, and an unbeatable location, AFH is our go-to dining destination for large groups. We visited most recently on a Friday for lunch, which I highly recommend over a Saturday or Sunday if you're someone who doesn't love crowds. Case in point ... we've waited in line for 30 minutes just to order food on a busy Saturday afternoon. If you can, I recommend ordering online via the QR Codes placed strategically around the food hall. We had eight people in our group, including a few kiddos, and we ordered from three different restaurants. If you're craving Cava, you will have to exit the food hall and go downstairs to pick up your order, but that's almost always worth it in my book. In true Nashville fashion, there's almost always live music streaming through the food hall. This adds to the Broadway experience at a comfortable level - so you can still enjoy your meal and hear the rest of your group speak. We parked in the garage that neighbors the food hall, which actually wasn't too expensive compared to typical downtown parking prices. If your group wants to migrate from the food hall over to Broadway, it's quick and easy to do!

Assembly Food Hall in Nashville is the perfect spot when you're done with the hot, fried chicken tastings! After two days of eating heavy, country fried food, I was ready to get back to my regular meals, fish, veggies, salads, sushi and everything that is not fried! The food hall offered a vast variety of different types of food! Yes they still had the Hattie Mae's hot chicken but they also had sushi, poke bowls, Mexican food, ice cream, rotisserie chicken, etc. The space is hiuuuuge! I think it has 3 floors I don't quite remember how many floors it as but I distinctly going between the first and second floor! It's right near Broadway so it's just a step away from all the craziness of Broadway! You can take a little breather here! I would definitely recommend it. I visited twice on my 4 day trip so it is a must if you're looking for different types of food! They have plenty of healthier options! We walked from our hotel which was a nice brisk 10-15 mins. walk!

This was great because of how many options there were. My husband is pescatarian, and I'm a big time carnivore so going out to eat can be difficult at times. We tried Prince's hot chicken, he had a lobster grilled cheese, and my kids had dumplings and we finished with ice cream. We came on a Tuesday evening so it was not crowded, we were able to find a table right away. It is a food hall so it is more noisy than a sit down restaurant, but we liked that aspect.

So many options! So much variety! I'd love to try everything here but didn't have time unfortunately. This is the coolest food hall I've seen! It's also very clean, and well-kept .And the bartenders were absolutely wonderful.

Literally has so many food options!! This place is insane - you can try the best restaurants in Nashville all in one place. There was ample seating, the lines were not too long even on a weekend, and many of the restaurants offer small plates if you want to be able to try a variety of cuisines. I definitely recommended stopping here before hitting the honky tonk!

Assembly Food Hall boasts an impressive selection of approximately 37 restaurants, offering a wide range of culinary options. With such a variety, there is something to satisfy every palate. As a vegan, I am delighted to find an abundance of delicious plant-based food choices available. Additionally, I appreciate the attention to detail in the decoration of the entryway, creating an hip inviting atmosphere. Moreover, the ample seating, including outdoor seating, ensures a comfortable dining experience for all patrons. If you need help navigating the area they have a welcome service desk.

We had a blast coming here for the first time. It was recommended by both my girlfriend's friends and my close friends as well. We were so happy we did after the experience. We both ordered BBQ from Honey Fire BBQ. Which is needed when you visit Tennessee. The food was delicious and well worth the price. The Mac & Cheese, and brisket were both delicious! Since it was only two of us we couldn't try everything since it was so many options. The food hall is like one big food Mecca with great options. Tons of seating , and even though we waited in line, it went by quick. We can't wait to come back and try the other options.

Lots of different food choices, cafeteria style. It was great to try different things

It's a good spot to take a break and get some snacks after a lot of walking. We got some fried chicken and drinks from Princess. They have varieties of food from bbq to Mexico to Asian... They also have live music during certain time....heard parking is quite expensive but we didn't drive, so worked out for us.

Great food options. Try the soup dumplings and Bao bun from Steam Boys. They both were delicious. Assembly Food Hall has many different selections. I went t with two friends and we each ate from a different restaurant. We were very satisfied with our selections.

Looking for something to eat? Have several opinions or picky eaters??? The Assembly Food Hall will be your savior! There is a great selection of food with so many delicious options and places sit. Some lines are longer and faster than others so find something you like, wait for what you want and find something you enjoy.

A great place to go if you're unsure of what to eat. They have plenty of options, maybe too many, when it comes to food. We simply got a little of everything that caught our eye and we were not disappointed. Plenty of seating, live music, and dessert!

11/16/23: Exactly as it sounds nothing but food and food and more food. Basically one giant food court. Pretty much from sushi, to BBQ, to fried chicken to Mexican to Waffles. As I was still a bit stuffed from earlier wanted something simple. Saw a salad option and a seafood food. Soooo not the salad I was expecting. Still delicious. But note if you are not into the large crowd and having your senses overly stimulated you may want to pass. But if food courts are up your alley then definitely try. Although the lines seems long and daunting they move quickly. Tip : if multiple people in your party have them scout and secure seating as its first come first serve.

This is a great location for food options, shopping and music. It's right on the cusp of Broadway chaos but we enjoyed it. I will say as a vegan I had almost no options for food at the Hall which was disappointing. Nashville seems to be unfamiliar with vegetables!
