Very nice place kind of like a dining hall with a lot of different options, and very good vibes. We got hotdogs and fries. The fries were amazing. Very very good. The hotdogs did not have too much flavor. It’s weird and a little too much bread and did not exceed our expectations. Very good quality and price overall for food.

Friendly bar staff and spacious area to hang out at in the Hunters patio. Great beer choices. Delicious beer cheese and wings. THE Spiciest Nashville chicken sandwich, inferno, and I love spice food and live in SW. tasty but stupid hot.

Broadway sucks. Picnic Tap doesn’t. Do the right thing. Support local. As Lloyd Christmas said, this is a place where the beer flows like wine.

Had a delicious beer flight and from a friendly and knowledgeable bartender. Had the shrimp n grits and tried the chicken Nashville style ala chef James and was not disappointed! You won’t be either. 10/10 would go back!

Great experience. Was greeted by Eric the owner who shared his recommendations on the current tap list and picked up a 64oz growler. Staff was very friendly while choosing my selection and will be back for a fill. Thank you!

Love EVERYTHING about this place! The food (burger, hot dog, fries) and drinks (beer, bloody Mary’s, mimosas) are stellar. Great place to work or come with friends. Devyn is an awesome bartender. She has great customer service, is always so friendly and provides the best drink recommendations. Her mimosas are the best I’ve had! Will definitely be back.

First time visiting this new location! It was a great space that worked well for our impromptu business meeting. High top tables with charging outlets available for both our laptops and our phones. I ordered the Pub Burger with Onion rings. The burger was cooked to order and had tons of flavor, the onion rings were fantastic. Will definitely return to check out the plentiful beer selection when I have more time. I loved the open space, lots of natural light and relaxed atmosphere. Highly recommend.

I have been a long time customer of The Picnic Tap in the Nashville Farmer's Market, so I was happy to see another location at Hunter's Station. Same place, but not quite as good at the original. Beer selection is good. Many local & regional selections. My go-to is the Picnic Tap Honey Biscuit Blonde. Always a good choice if you can't decide. Last time I visited I tried George, a pale ale from Half Batch Brewing in Hendersonville. Again, always a good selection to choose from. Service is usually good, although sometimes the kitchen is temporarily closed, making it inconvenient if you want to order a snack from there.

Went in last night and parking was a breeze first 90 minutes free and if you are doing a pick up/to go it's more than enough Live music was playing and the overall atmosphere was nice. Service was quick and the staff member brought the food when it was ready. That being said I ordered a large chicken tenders basket and they sent me home with one very small container of ranch, for the price and size of the order that's ridiculous. The tenders were incredible the Nashville hot lives up to the name.

Great place for a quick breather and some lunch in between meetings. In-person meetings no less! Plenty of tables and ample seating for a large group of beer and sandwich loving friends. I got a water and a beer this time around and got some work done on my laptop. Tons of beers on tap and a full bar! If you check in to the venue, via the Yelp app, you get a free beer with an entree purchase! Just a heads up. The parking here is very tough and it's mostly all paid.

Their 4 stars is actually my fault-I wish I would've read the menu better before ordering. I order the grilled chicken sandwich meal. The meal was delicious, but I didn't know (again, because I didn't fully read the description) it had pickled red onions on it? Ugh... Those fries though!!! Just for future reference, you WILL wish you had ordered more fries-SO GOOD! Staff there was very accommodating and welcoming, which is always great. We went out yesterday specifically to go and experience Hunters Station, so I'm super stoked it was a good time and good food:) Thanks Picnic Tap! ...and I promise to read the full description of what I'm ordering next time:(

UPDATE: ordered some food today: ordered the hot chicken sandwich and waffle fries. Unfortunately the hot chicken had barely any "hotness" to it. So it was a bit of a disappointment. Waffle fries were good fries, no complaints there! Seems as though they now have hot dogs from porter road butcher. Great lunch special of waffle fries and any hotdog for $10! Still keeping the review at a 4/5 because the beer and the other menu choices seem promising. But I'll continue to update accordingly as I try more food. ---- Haven't had the food yet, but the service and the beer selection and prices are amazing!! They have happy hour M, T, W, F from 4-7 and have $2 off pints. They have a good selectIon of beer too from a variety of breweries. On Thursdays they showcase a local brewery and that brewery is $4 pints and we were told that someone from the brewery comes with some swag to hang out and what not. Solid. We got a growler today and even that was $2 off. What?!? Amazing! We will be back to try the food soon!

This place is always so good. The real MVP is Mrs, the bartender, he's friendly, kind, and a badass behind that bar.He got slammed within moments and handled it so well. y'all are lucky to have him work for you. Go see Mez. He's a gem.

Craft beer. Great food. Great atmosphere. Hunter's Station, overall, is a great place for any group or any one person looking for lots of good options for food and a place to hang out. The Picnic Tap has a great food selection and an even better selection of craft drinks. You can snag food from the bar or another restaurant, order your favorite beer on tap, and hang out to watch a game or a movie or play some games.

Ordered the loaded waffle fries which is served with pimento cheese, garlic aioli sauce, & scallions (we did not get the hot sauce that it usually comes topped with). Serving portion was very large for the cost ($9), could easily feed 3-4 people. Still had a little kick even without the hot sauce but overall very well put together. Would definitely recommend coming back!

This establishment, with a constantly fresh and rotating beer selection, is a joy to visit. The staff is knowledgeable, and the owner Eric, is a nearly constant presence. With food, board games, four t.v.'s, and a selection of craft cocktails, there is something for everyone. The ability to take your beverages around the market is also a plus. Nice work.

Went near open and stood at the register for awhile without anyone coming over. The bartender was there and just doing side work and made eye contact but didn't say anything. 2 stars because the menu looked good!

The hot chicken (wing and sandwich) are so mf hot. Fried pickles and waffle fries are good but I give three stars because I am SWEATING and ANGRY. Either get wings next door or anything but the hot chicken items.

First time visiting Hunters Station. After looking around at all of the businesses, I decided on The Picnic Tap. One reason was that the woman at the counter taking orders was speaking to just about everyone that passed this business. I ordered the pub burger without the red onions, cooked medium. I also got waffle fries and a Diet Coke. Before tax my total was $15.00. I had the most expensive meal of my party of three. All of us purchased food from different vendors. My burger was cooked fresh and the way I asked. It comes with "AwesomeSauce" which had a bit of a kick. Overall the burger was good and I enjoyed the generous amount of pickles. The fries were fried a little too hard for my taste and had a little too much seasoning. Next time I may try the Reuben's Cousin.

Grabbed a few beers here to drink while eating at Hunter Station. Great draft list and guy behind the bar was nice. Nothing else to really say other than that! Our experience was good but we only ordered beers.

Stopped by for food on an weekday at 8p. They were out of wings () but ordered a burger with fries and a side of slaw instead. The service was weirddddd. The guy at the counter was definitely more interested in continuing his conversation with a girl at the bar than actually serving anyone. Not friendly, not helpful. We got up to go check out desserts on the other side of the building, and when we got back our food was sitting near the kitchen window. While we were walking he literally said "Here's your food" so we could pick it up instead of him putting it at our seats at the bar. The entire experience seemed as though we were bothering him. I wound up with a side salad instead of a slaw, not worth the hassle of bothering the server. The burger was okay. Bun wasn't great, meat lacked flavor, but the pickles and awesome sauce made it all better. The original Picnic taps is usually a fun, engaging, lovely group of people who genuinely love beer and want you to stay and eat and drink some more. Hopefully kinks in service will get worked out and this will live up to the originals reputation.

Love the environment and vibe here! A great place to enjoy time with friends or family while grubbing on some burgers and drinks. Our bartender Devyn, provided excellent service and served us some phenomenal drinks. Hit the spot. Will have to visit again.

I ordered their Hot Chicken Sandwich and had it to go. So unfortunately I couldn't return it. The flavor was ok to me, kinda weird but not bad. The worst part was the chicken itself was so tough and was difficult to bite into. I have no clue how they could claim it as the best hot chicken sandwich. It was probably the worst one I've ever had. Extremely disappointed.

The Picnip Tap is a hip bar in East Nashville inside of Hunter's Station. Their food options are unique and delicious, I haven't eaten something there that I haven't liked. They also have a great selection of local beer, something they take great pride in. Last time a bartender named Devyn helped me. she was very upbeat and happy, with great knowledge about their beer selection. I would highly recommend this place!

So fun!!! this place is great. I was visiting Nash & decided to stop in with some friends and we had a great time. The food was awesome, they had the best drinks, and our bartender Devyn was the bomb. So energetic & sweet, and made for the best experience!!!! highly recommend

Amazing food and atmosphere! I have never ordered anything that wasn't delicious. 10/10 recommend the burgers and they have a great craft beer selection I enjoyed the Home Style IPA. The service was also amazing. Devyn was extremely friendly and a joy to talk to! She gave me the best customer service and gave me great recommendations (and also isn't bad to look at.)I will most definitely be back whenever I am in town! Thank you again Devyn for the great service.

The picnic tap is great!! They have wonderful food and their staff is super friendly. Also, they are gluten friendly. Out of all the restaurants I've been to, time and time again I have had an amazing experience here. If you are visiting or a local, the picnic tap is a must visit. They have local brews and cool food. Don't miss out on a great Nashville find.
