Smashed burgers, BBQ sandwiches, chili cheese fries, shakes

"Pat Martin’s rapidly expanding, meaty brainchild serves up burgers and barbecue in a fast-casual setting. Though technically a fast-food restaurant, Hugh Baby’s puts an emphasis on quality by grinding patties in-house every day and serving up the same slow-smoked barbecue that makes Martin’s other Nashville restaurant (Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint) a crowd favorite. Their Charlotte Avenue location also boasts a playground that helps keep the kids entertained while the grown-ups savor their meal." - Ellen Fort

"Nashville-based Hugh-Baby’s landed in Charleston with its fast-casual concept from famed pitmaster Pat Martin. The emphasis is on barbecue and burgers. The cheeseburger is a classic with a fresh-ground beef patty, American cheese, pickles, lettuce, onion, heirloom tomato, and comeback sauce. Best for: When you need to get home quickly, and a drive-thru is the only way" - Erin Perkins
"A fast-food outlet from Pat Martin of Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint serving burgers, hot dogs, and shakes in a casual format." - Missy Frederick
"Another welcome entry in the category of leveled-up nostalgia trips, this mini fast-food chain by Pat Martin (of Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint) serves filling burgers (including slugburgers), barbecue sandwiches, and hot dogs at three locations. Kids love the patio play area at the Berry Hill and Charlotte Avenue locations and the roster of creamy old-school milkshakes with ice cream." - Ellen Fort
"One of Nashville’s best burgers can be found at Hugh-Baby’s, a fast-casual joint from Pat Martin of Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint with locations across town (and a bonus outpost in South Carolina). Burgers are built with smashed patties, veggies, and tangy comeback sauce that also makes an excellent dip for fries. If you’re not a burger fan, you can opt for a hot dog, chicken or catfish sandwich, or a plate of chili cheese fries instead." - Kellie Walton
