Hunters Station

This review is for the Hugh-Baby's BBQ & Burger Shop. We had the pulled pork sandwich. Holy cow. It was delicious.

I like Hunters Station, not as big as Assembly Food Hall downtown but still a lot of great food options with a nice variety, plenty of seating, and good service. I had a shrimp po-boy and hush puppies from Picnic Table and they were pretty good, plus I like that it also a full bar if you want to grab a drink. This spot also had a LGBTQI flag, so glad to see it is inclusive to everyone and shows visible support. They have options for outdoor and indoor seating. We came on a Wednesday and found parking right in front of the entrance, but the lot is not too big so I’m sure it gets crowded on weekends. Fun spot for family and friends to grab some food, lil something for everyone.

Plenty of options to choose from, if you aren't all that hungry you can split a plate. Everything is cooked to order so there is a wit time but you know it's fresh. The banh mi and pork buns were amazing, the grilled cheese was next level, fish and chips were plentiful, tacos were bomb. Very good place to eat

This building is like a creepy ghost town. Half of the restaurants don’t exist, and the ones that do aren’t anything to write home about. It really sucks bc this place could be such a convenient place for families, teenagers, and groups of friends but the few restaurants left are gross and food taste awful, people under 18 aren’t allowed. (there is a obnoxious man with guns waiting to greet anyone under 18 upon arrivval.) and there is hardly any options left. In the past few years I’ve given this place a shot multiple times hoping for improvement and everytime is actually worse than the last.

Hunters is really one of my favorite restaurants because it has nice vibes, decoration and amazing staff. The food was delicious. One thing tho is that the fries are a bit too salty for me but other than that, it was amazing

Really cool market and sort of restaurant multiplex. Great location on Main St for easy access. Each store has carryout or dine in options. The market component is also great for easy in and out purchases. For people concerned about COVID-19 safety, care and cleanliness are used here. We went to the Grilled Cheeserie!!!

Absolutely wonderful spot with all the options! Whatever you're craving, it's there. We went all out and ordered from multiple spots and had a great time. Will be back soon!

This place is awesome. It has so many varieties of food to choose from from Vietnamese to Hugh baby's 2 a sandwich shop that's the best Philly cheesesteak that I've ever had and then they have the local beers they have probably a hundred of local beers on tap and also that many bottles from all the local breweries here in Nashville Tennessee if you are visiting Nashville or if you're just local you definitely need to check this place out they have something for everyone. I will be back... 5💫

This place has so many choices for food. So as a family with kids we ate at 4 different places here. Burgers and fries for some, tacos and cheese quesadillas for a few more, chicken strips and fries for others and Thai food for the vegan. We were all happy with our choices. I wish the ice cream place was open. They need a Jeni's in here.

This was the final stop on our Secret Food tour - we got to try the pork sandwiches and a fantabulous milkshake. Both were freaking tastyAF! Wowza! Excellent potato bun, pork, and coleslaw, all masterfully put together on a sandwich that was tender and juicy. And the milkshake was like a deconstructed caramel, vanilla, banana pie. Seriously tasty. Lots of vendors to tantalize your taste buds.

I really love this place for multiple reasons... Pros: - Amazing food options; tacos, Grilled Cheeserie, Hugh Baby's burgers, Vui's Kitchen Vietnamese food, Citizen Market, Picnic Tap, and Tacos Aurora! - great spot for a meeting or day date. - plenty of seats both indoor and outdoor. - bring your laptop, grab an afternoon beer and get to work. - Awesome mural outside! Cons: - The parking is awful and there's limited street parking.

We ate at Music City Gyros inside of Hunters station. Food was amazing! Fresh and very authentic tasting. Will definitely be back!

Even from the parking lot in the back of Hunters Station, the stench of marijuana was overwhelming as it wafted from the food hall and permeated the air. Hunters Station is apparently a popular hangout for teenagers departing the adjacent high school, and a haven for underage drug use, vaping, and smoking. There were at least two odious gentlemen circling the food court, one of them yelling at customers, with no sign of security nor police. Nashville's first food hall - preceding Fifth+Broadway by 2.5 years - pioneered a unique experience and recruited well-known local eateries, but the total neglect for safety tarnishes an otherwise clever plan. Parking is expensive if your visit entails spending a few hours catching up with friends, unless you can find one of the fleeting spots on the street. The parking lot in the front is understandably for to-go customers and handicapped motorists exclusively. So yes, parking is a nightmare. It is incredibly disappointing that some of the tenants like Vui's and The Grilled Cheeserie have spectacular food at their other locations but seem to serve lesser quality fare at Hunters Station. Thankfully, the Hugh-Baby's and Tacos Aurora are pretty solid options here. But depending on the time of your visit, your safety may be jeopardized. Exercise caution.

Such an interesting place. Basically a food court offering Mexican, Tennessee bbq, drinks, milkshakes and sooooo much more. If you're looking to pick and choose a little of this or a little of that this is a good place to go.

Pre-lockdown experience.* I've never understood the whole point of a 'food hall.' The name was/is just so d@mn extra. It's a food court. Food courts have been a part of the food system for decades. Was it really necessary to rename them for the assumed benefit of a younger audience? Annoying. Food courts. You know, the places you congregated at as disaffected tweens or in search of a respite during holiday shopping. Food Courts. Hunters Station is a food court. It used to be a body shop. When I first heard that yet another Nashville mainstay was being repurposed into something else, I rolled my eyes and kept it moving. At the time, I needed to appear excited but, in reality, I didn't see the point. We needed this? Okay. Trying to look at the upside, I thought that it was cool that people would start flocking to the Maxwell neighborhood and maybe realize that 'East Nashville' is an area made up of several different neighborhoods, all with their own flavor. Maybe. Upside. The sands of time did their thing and Hunters went from flames and cars to, well, flames (food) and cars (lots more people). Giving credit where it's due, the layout is nice. There are plenty of places to sit - inside and outside - and a variety of eating choices that should satisfy parties of all sizes.** If you want burgers and beer or salads and seltzer, you should be able to find it at Hunters. I was hopeful that Hunters would be populated with brand new concepts, rather than outposts of eateries you can already find all over town but a.) that takes money and b.) new concepts will come in their own time. I'm a suburban Kentucky kid at heart so I feel just fine at/in a food court. Hunters at its origin works just fine for me. Hunters as it might appear in the future sounds even better. Parking can be a pain. The lot is a pay one but I *think* you get an hour free. Maybe. Park on the street. Check out some Maxwell homes. *Numbers are going up and health care workers are begging people to stay home. You can both shop locally and responsibly. **No larger than 8, please. Preferably less than that. To go.

Super cool place we found in the neighborhood we're staying at in Nashville. Lots of great food choices, where the worst part about it is trying to decide what to eat. We tried a brewery, Thai, and Mexican restaurant and everything was delicious and very affordable and it was a very good place to start a night out with some relaxation. I'd recommend it to anyone who is wanting to find a place they haven't tried and don't want to break the bank.

This place is awesome. Went there with a group because food halls have something for everyone.although most of us ended up eating at Vui's. The Pho was amazing (as expected) but the sleeper item on this menu is Vui's salad. I ordered it with chicken and the honey citrus vinaigrette and I truly would stand by it being one of the best salads I've ever eaten. Big portion- felt well priced. So much flavor. And the chicken was glazed and delicious. Would definitely recommend! Only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because they were slow on our order and there was a mix up where it didn't get placed. But once we got the food it was awesome. There are also burgers, tacos, a bar, and a grilled cheese spot (which we got milkshakes from after) Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. Great spot to check out!

The Everbowl acai bowls are delicious! Ask for samples of the different base flavors!

Awesome place with a variety of wonderful and different foods. Also a bar is included for adult beverages. You got tacos, Vietnamese, grilled cheese, a market and others. We tried several, all we're great! Try it, you'll like it! There's enough variety for everyone!

Excellent new space! I love all the flavors that are in this space. It has something for everyone! Grilled cheeses to Vietnamese! Clean, open seating and full of light. Good amount of parking and the outdoor space will be fantastic.

I'm not sure when Hunters Station opened its doors, but it's the perfect concept for a gorgeous day during a pandemic. My companion and I scoped out each restaurant in turn before he settled on Tacos Aurora for a burrito and I chose Vui's Kitchen for classic pho. He was extremely excited that Aurora had bottled Squirt; I think it made his whole afternoon! It wasn't very busy at all at 12:45 on a Tuesday, so we had our pick of tables. We ate outside and then went back in to hit Grilled Cheeserie for the milkshake bar. He had the vegan coconut milkshake, which tasted like sitting on a beach. I had the Hopscotch, which was like sipping bananas foster. There's plenty of indoor seating, so I would stop by even if the weather wasn't nice, but I think Hunters Station will be the place to be during the lunch hour as the weather warms up. Will definitely be back if I'm in East during the lunch hour.

A fun spot that's not overcrowded and is dog friendly. Build and the Grilled Cheeserie were so great and the staffing was so kind. So many options in one spot. The perfect place to meet with friends (furry ones too).

This is quickly becoming one of our favorite places to eat out when we cannot make up our minds (which is 80% of the battle of eating out)! Hunters Station has a lot of our top choices but all in one food hall. On our most recent visit we got Tacos Aurora. The tacos and chips with queso were delicious. Other options include The Grilled Cheeserie, Vui's Kitchen, Hugh Baby's etc. Unfortunately we found out Citizens Market has closed which had a variety of grab and go items and beverages. I'll be interested to see how this place changes over time. Worth your time if you are in East NASHVILLE!

Went to Red House, AMAZING SERVICE food was mid. It barely had flavor lol no salt or seasoning. We got the Shrimp and Grits. They didn't have the shrimp diablos. And I got the nash hot chicken fries. It was alright but not great by any means

Where else can you go and filled up on a 32 once Modelo Beer and a taco on a hot Covid 19 pandemic day in East Nashville. I like this spot as I can always pick a different food spot and they all can fill the bill on flavor. Great concept hang spot with all the comfortable areas to chill and have a nice lunch of early dinner. I really enjoy the outside eating spots that allow to soak in the experience of cool neighborhood.

I loved this 5 in 1 combo! I haven't been to a "cafeteria-style" establishment in a very long time and this hit the spot! ille. Inside there are 5 different joints: Citizen Market, Hugh-Baby's (yes, the same one as the one on Charlotte Ave), Vui's Kitchen, Taco Aurora, The Picnic Tap, and The Grilled Cheeserie. Open area with all good choices-you can't go wrong:) Also, it's worth mentioning that their cleaning crew is ON IT! I went to the bathroom twice while there and they were cleaning up both times I went in there. There's nothing more reassuring than a clean atmosphere, especially an eating establishment. Great job Hunters Station!

Randomly stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon. This food hall is a really cool concept! There are 5 food options and a beer garden, so if you are with a larger group of hangry friends, you don't all have to decide on the same type of food. I chose to get tacos from Tacos Aurora. Our food came out quick and tasted amazing! I like that the food hall is mostly indoors, but they have outdoor seating in the shade, which is where we sat. The Grilled Cheeserie looked tasty and I'll visit that spot next time I'm here!

This place has mice and bugs. I went there to visit Vui's. I hadn't been to this location before but I've always enjoyed their other locations. I was very disappointed to see that this location was very lacking in cook and flavor of food. The food was nearly inedible. But it became a certainty that I'd throw it straight into the trash, when I saw a mouse run across the large dining area. The place was filthy and full of people. If mice are running out when it's that busy, you know there's got to be plenty of mice and bugs in there.

New hangout for my family. We were very impressed with the layout, cleanliness, and how fresh the food was. We tried the taco place, Vui's kitchen and Hugh Baby's. Now I'm a huge Hugh Baby's fan (the Charlotte location is my favorite) only because their food taste better than the one off of west end and Thompson lane. Idk why, it just does. Now this location is JUST like Charlotte's location. Everything was fresh even down to the lemonade. This facility even had a spot where you could order outdoors with them. I had to put that out there lol. Vui's Kitchen pork buns were beautiful charred and fresh, pretty comparable to the other location. (That was all I had from there) The taco spot was a disappointment I had the surf n turf, asada, and chicken. They lacked flavor entirely. I think the surf n turf was my favorite only because they pulled other ingredients on it but I won't try that place again. I can't wait to go back to try the Grilled Cheeserie and the beer!

I ordered from the Pho restaurant and ate outside at the picnic tables. I had the beef pho with the vegetable broth. It was filling and tasty. I liked the ability to mix and match with all the other restaurants. My only complaint was the music volume. It was very loud so I had to yell to the other people in my group.

I go here because it's convenient. Slightly overpriced for a burrito but tasty none the less. Good bbq and i just cant bring myself to pay for grilled cheese.. but maybe if i had a craving on vacation and it was cold or something? Parking in the front is the worst . The back has a lot or you can park in the street and piss all the residents off. Godspeed.

I'm rooting for Hunter's Station to thrive. The diversity of the establishments is there and hopefully the people start rolling through. I'd say that I feel that the parking situation is a little rough but there's plenty of areas to park around Five Points that it shouldn't be terribly difficult to walk. You have a grill cheese stand, a drinkery, a taco stand, a pho stand, a market stand and a burger stand. I'm hoping there will other good selections on the additional phase they have next to it and more moments of people utilizing the outdoor space that join it all. Food halls are the new modern version of mall food courts will better quality foods. Let's get more of them. They bring the social aspect of the dining experience back where you don't have to be stuck in a bar or a mall all day.

Hunters is one of the best things to happen to East Nashville families. For starters, we can walk there so that's a major bonus. The other major bonus is that it's filled with tons of delicious food that sometimes overflows into the parking lot with their farmers market! We have two little dudes who don't always want to eat the same thing. Heck, I don't always want to eat the same thing. We can walk in, go our separate ways, and meet again with a meal of our choice. Hugh Baby's is always in rotation, same as Vui's. The kids love the Grilled Cheeserie, we love the Picnic Tap. Tacos Aurora is always a stellar option. The sleeper is Citizen's Market. Pied Piper is tucked away under Cocorico's chocolate cakes. They also have a bunch of healthy options from small local companies. Recently we had one of the Broth Shop's pasta salads. It was a hit with our little one too. They have wine, beer, kombucha, etc. I've spent a lot of time thinking about why I love Hunters Station so much and realized it's because it's pretty much a food court. Food courts are probably the best part of the mall and this Jersey girl feels most at home in a mall.

-Had a hot dog from The Picnic Tap, it DID NOT taste like a hot dog. Almost tasted vegan, but the waffle fries were really good!! - Tried the coconut pudding at Vui's. It's an interesting palate, the textures go well together. Not too sweet. Definitely an acquired taste!

The best thing about this place is that the choices are all over. If you are vegan you can come here and enjoy an amazing lunch or dinner. For everyone who is not vegan you can come as well and everybody be satisfied while still eating together. There are often a lot of families here because the atmosphere is really nice and welcoming. Place is also very safe and everyone friendly. VEGAN SUGGESTION: Get a well done Vegan Grilled Cheese from The Grilled Cheeserie. Eat it with a Vegan Pho from Vui's Kitchen. Along side A side of Cactus Salad from Tacos Aurora.

Came based on a recommendation from a local friend when I said I wanted a greasy "in and out" burger. Came for The burgers but got distracted by all the other offerings and ended up getting 3 different things. Chicken pot pie soup from the Grilled Cheese and a burger from hughs and a chicken sandwich from there as well. The come back sauce is to die for. Love this little combo of offerings! Will recommend it to others.

Such a cute spot with indoor/outdoor seating and food choices for all! We ate at the Grilled Cheeserie! Best grilled cheese and milkshake ever. They have Gluten Free bread! Service was fast and great!

Went to Vui's and it was great but my wife had hugh-baby's and the cooks were talking about her being transgender and it upset her so much. So it doesn't feel like a safe place like they advertise it is.

Real talk, my husband and I liked this place so much that we came back TWO DAYS IN A ROW. And I think we could have come the whole week and tried something different each time! I LOVE their commitment to reducing waste. They have stations for recycling AND COMPOST!!! Parking is a bit tricky but if you go behind the building theirs a lot more - just don't forget to pay! The first hour I think was free! This place is perfect if you're with a group with varying taste - my husband hates breakfast and I am in love with it, so for lunch we were both able to get what we wanted. If you got there around 10:30am hoping for brunch, jUst realize that not every option will be open yet and some stations while open at 11 will not be operating in full force - we had a wait quite a while for the picnic tap at lunch but otherwise at dinner they are rolling! We will most certainly be back!

I love a food hall. We had planned to meet some friends at that new hot spot across the street and the wait was way beyond what I would ever wait for, so we saw Hunters Station across the street and thought - why not? We'd thought about going since they opened but hadn't check it out yet! The food hall isn't huge, but it had a variety of stands to choose from: The Grilled Cheeserie, Citizen Market, Hugh-Baby's, Vui's Kitchen, Tacos Aurora, and the Picnic Tap. I love a food hall, because they have something for everyone and your party can get the food that they're craving. We were a group of 4, and all of us tried food from a different vendor. I got tacos from Tacos Aurora; my husband got a sandwich from Hugh-Baby's; my friend got a grilled cheese and side of tomato soup from The Grilled Cheeserie; and her bf got biscuits from Citizen Market. The parking area is small (I think I saw a sign that said the first 90 minutes are free), but we paid to park at the paid lot across the street by Shep's and Woodland Wine. The food hall has inside and outside seating (there are more tables inside than outside, but we were the only people at the outside tables at 11 am on a Sunday). We had a good time here. Not a bad little food hall in East Nashville!

What a great new addition to the neighborhood. Now that they've been open for a couple months, I find myself constantly returning. It's a great place to go with friends, so everyone can get what they want from various establishments and you can eat wherever! My favorite area to sit it by Picnic Tap, sometimes there's even live music. Truly something for everyone here. Kid friendly as well as a dog friendly patio.

Hunters station is exactly what Nashville needed. A place where people can come together and eat and commune together. I've seen people of all ages and ethnicities here eating together which is one step closer to cultural restoration for the city of Nashville. There are several great options for food here and I have thoroughly enjoyed every time I've come here. I would love to see more live music and pop-up shops in a place like this to encourage even more gathering of wonderful people around the city.

Amazing!! My wife and I have fallen in love with this place. Stopped by for the Grand opening today, as we had seen the report on this place the other day on the morning news. So many choices and only one stomach. I decided to eat at the Grilled Cheese sandwich joint, got a flight of beer from the picnic place in there. The wife went and picked us up some Pho' to take home for dinner later. Not overly busy, and in the middle of East Tennessee. We will definitely be coming back for more!! Highly recommend!!

Ok Loving this place. Best little food court in town! Grilled Cheeserie, Hugh Baby's, tacos aurora, the picnic tap (Beer!} Vuis Kitchen (PHO)and the citizen market. Outdoor seating. You could come here 14 days in a row and eat something different every day!!! Only this missing is pizza but that a quick walk to Five Points. 90 minute free parking in the lot behind. Main lot is really tiny.

Amazing!! Trekking around dillan and I always like to find the best local spots on our trips. Hunter station does not disappoint!! Literally any restaurant in there is amazing. Their customer service is always great and the food is even better. We've tried almost every spot in there and we definitely intend on going back next time we're in Nashville. (The milkshakes at the grilled cheesery are literally TO DIE FOR!)

Pho's is pretty tasteless. I tried to tell them the broth was like just hot water. Noodles were soggy. She wasn't very interested in listening. Too bad. Coconut dessert was really good.

I have been here twice now and I have really enjoyed the taco place here. I went with friends and then with classmates. The tacos are so good and the place is so clean. The people that work everywhere are always so nice too.

My new East Nashville favorite spot. After walking around on a busy Saturday at noon, and having so many choices, we decided on Citizen Market. Wonderful coffee (I tried the Americano) and they even offer French Press. Brunch for 2 was $35. I had the muffuletta (selected from a cooler but they warmed it up for me) and was more than pleased. Husband had biscuit with sausage gravy and fruit tea. He was happy with his selection and we both agreed we would return and probably order the same again. They offered Keto desserts as well as non-keto selections. Great little coffee and sandwich shop with tons of choices. Staff were friendly (but not the fake friendly) and highly focused on customer service.

Best place I've visited in East Nashville. Great for groups. Imagine a high quality, fancy food court.

I was able to order a burrito from one place and get a coffee to go at another....why ever leave?? I will say it's really kinda crowded on weekends. But a great place to take some picky friends!

Hunters Station is awesome! Simplistically speaking it's a food court. From the Grilled Cheeserie to Hugh-Baby to Vui's Kitchen there are great options! In total 6 establishments are located under one roof. Seating doesn't seem to be a problem, with people coming and going regularly. There is free 90 minute parking out back and that should be plenty of time to get in and enjoy a meal. My favorite was the Grilled Cheeserie. I made my own with cheese and bacon and Parmesan coated sourdough bread. To top that off I had a cookies and cream milkshake - delicious! What's great about Hunters Station is that if you go with a group you can all find something you like, but still share a table!

I was really excited for Hunter's Station to open, and was happy to see that it lived up to the hype! A food hall style space, with grilled cheeserie, picnic tap (bar and food), Vui's Kitchen (Vietnamese), Hugh Baby's (Burgers), Tacos aurora, and Citizen Kitchen with local vendor specials. The prices are reasonable and its a great place to gather with friends and family or on a night out alone! Citizen kitchen has a great selection of grab and go products and other local products. Don't miss out on Caity Pies!! For the summer time they have a great outdoor seating area and some yard games. Parking is available for free for one hour behind the building, street parking around can be challenging to find.

Will probably not be back. This has a lot of potential, and the food is good (at least at the taco place and Grilled Cheeserie). But the place was like a McDonald's play place. There was an absurd number of unattended kids - and I love kids. But it was like parents showed up, got their food and drink and forgot about the kiddos. There was a child who ran up to people and was whacking them on the head with a stick. And another kid who sat on the floor screaming for a while. No parents in sight, and when the parent did come, it may have been an employee? Not 100% on that. Kind of stressful honestly, because we had a kid run straight into our table full force, and were trying to find parents for part of our meal. It has good food options and the beer from Picnic Tap is great. Food was quick. It's just not my favorite environment. Probably good for families i guess.

We got the tacos for lunch, they were really good and I liked the vibe of the place. They were also dog friendly!!!

Great food, lots of choices and a fun vibe. My mission burrito was the best I've had outside of San Francisco! Oh and parking is free for 90 mins

What a great place! Lots of trendy options. It is a mall food court with places that you WANT to eat and no mall. Clean, fun. More of a casual feel than an intimate place to have dinner. But it is what it advertises.

Looking for something new to try out on a visit to Nashville, I discovered Hunters Station that was recently opened. Street parking was relatively easy to find as we beat the dinner rush on a Friday evening. The layout of the space is inviting and pulled me along to explore each section. I only sampled two locations, the Vietnamese restaurant and the bar for a beer. The bar had a wide variety on draft and I liked that I could walk with it anywhere on the premises. Each restaurant was unique and had its appeal. I'll be back here with an open mind to get a small sample of multiple spots.
