    Smash burger and fries
    Lizzy B.

    The service at this location is wonderful. They are friendly and hardworking, always in the kitchen smiling! Aside from the experience, the smash burgers great quality and taste. This is a great place for a classic smash burger, fries, and milkshake meal.

    Steve S.

    Quite possibly the best milkshake in Nashville! The draw is the pulled pork sandwiches and the fried bologna sandwiches. But the payoff is, without question, the milkshakes! Fun little joint; in the midst of a streetside "food court". We'll be back, for sure!

    Slaw Dog - love it. I wouldn't mind if there were double the amount of slaw.

    We're visiting from Austin and I'm genuinely surprised this place didn't come up when others were recommending places to me ahead of our trip. Great spot for smash burgers, dogs, shakes, fries, pulled pork, veggie burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, and more. This location is in Hunters Station food hall. There are six paid parking spots in the lot and four handicap spots. Plenty of street parking in the area as well. There are enough seating options indoors and outdoors. It's a great space for a family. We had some delicious hot dogs, burgers, fries, and a shake. We'll not only be back but will recommend this place to others visiting Nashville.

    Absolutely loved Hugh-Baby's Pulled Pork Sandwich! We stopped in our food tour of East Nashville with Secret Food Tours. Fantastic little food hall! Loved that they took us to Hugh Baby's particularly for the Pulled Pork Sandwich. It was fantastic - perfectly sauced, coleslaw was perfectly tangy, and the combo of the two was incredible. Loved the vibe of the restaurant, too! We have a group of 12 and we easily found seating. Perfect for a larger group or a family outing!

    Chili cheese fries, missing the cheese.

    This Hugh Baby's is located in a building with several other eating establishments, and you will find them in the very back. The burgers themselves are smash burgers, so I highly recommend getting a double. On our visit we had the double cheeseburgers and they were hot, fresh, and tasty with two patties, lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles, and sauce. My husband wanted to try a chili dog, and said that it was okay, but it wasn't his favorite. We also ordered the chili cheese fries. These came with a chili sauce that was much like the hot dog sauce you can get from a can at the grocery, and there was way too much of it. The fries were soaking in it. And, unfortunately, there was no cheese. I would not order those again. I'm glad I had the chance to try Hugh Baby's, and perhaps we will return to give them another try.

    Delicious

    We stopped here during our food tour. We had the Memphis-style pulled pork sandwich. It was delicious. The staff was great.

    French fries
    Justin M.

    I Got the chili cheese fries, reg fries, 2 cheeseburgers, and a chocolate shake. Fries were kinda soggy honestly and seems like we got all end broken pieces the shakes flavor seemed kinda watered down a bit. The burger was the best thing yet very average and the chili didn't have any flavor at all. , ... they have fries soaking in one side of a dirty sink and the other side full of fries without water. The sink all around it and under it is filthy. So strange. After ordering we turned around and there was a huge smell of urine by the stand up counter!! Not sure if Hunters Station has a cat or cats that live in here and roam around at night, but the urine odor IS there. All the staff were polite so, that's why it's a 3 star, but I really wish I would have NOT seen that part of the kitchen and or smelled the strong urine odor. Please feel free to go over there and see for yourself and tell me if I'm wrong or out of line, but as I'm sure I've made it clear that I will not be returning to eat here. If anyone is offended by this, then my apologies, but this was my honest experience. Thanks for reading.

This time, we switched things up and hit it for lunch instead. Good call. We grabbed seats at the bar, where Todd was holding down the fort. The guy was outstanding. Drinks never sat empty, food came out smoothly, and he somehow managed to be attentive without hovering over us every five minutes asking if everything was okay. My wife started with the Nashville Margue, which goes down way too easy for something packing moonshine. Light, refreshing, and carrying enough kick to remind you you're in Tennessee. Then Todd introduced us to a Bloody Mary made with a new pickle-infused vodka. Now, that sounds like one of those ideas that should either be amazing or a complete disaster. Turns out it's amazing. My wife loved it so much she's already talking about coming back tomorrow for another one. For food, we started with the pretzels and beer cheese. Simple. Warm. Soft. Salty. Exactly what you want while settling into a Nashville afternoon. Nothing fancy, just done right. Then I went all in on the mac and cheese topped with Nashville hot chicken. Yee Haw. Creamy mac and cheese. Crispy chicken. That signature Nashville heat. Comfort food with a little attitude. Just the way it should be. The best thing about The Stillery is that it knows exactly what it is. Good food. Good drinks. Good people. No gimmicks. No trying too hard. Just a fun place to sit down, relax, and enjoy yourself. Fifteen trips to Nashville (together) and it's still one of our first stops. That's probably the strongest review I can give. Five stars.

We had a larger (10) group celebrating two birthdays and the staff handled things without breaking a sweat. We arrived a few minutes late for our reservation but it was no bother as our table was still being prepared. On that note: highly recommend a reservation, this is a popular place! Once we were seated we had the pleasure of Nichelle, a wonderful waitress. She was on top of everything we needed or wanted and we had very little wait time for her return. Great service! And the food... DELICIOUS! As you can imagine, our group of ten had a good selection across the menu and there was not a single person who was disappointed. Everyone loved their amazing food. What tops everything off is the atmosphere here. It's popular so, as you can imagine, it's a bit noisy. However, I like to call it "lively".

She even went out of her way to get me a drink that had fallen off the menu a few weeks prior, a delightful cucumber spritz. The ambiance is awesome. As others have said, music isn't too loud, just pleasant in the background, so it would be ideal for having a conversation. The space is open, bright, light-filled, and stylish. Parking is in a private lot behind the restaurant and they validate parking for up to two and a half hours. I wish I could rave the same way about the food. While the cocktails were refreshing and they had a cocktail for every palate, my steak and eggs was bland. It came out a little closer to rare than medium, but I can live with that. But I am not sure I detected a speck of salt or pepper. The steak was at least tender and the sunny side up eggs were cooked appropriately. The potatoes were dry. And I did have the wagyu meatball appetizer. It's a large portion, so easily shared amongst two or three people. Cheesy and saucy with a little spice. The focaccia could've been toasted a little more. I considered the short rib hash, but my server told me it could be salty and hit or miss (I appreciate her honesty and she 100 percent should be praised for it). I came during brunch (even on a weekday). They also serve French toast, desserts, oysters, burrata, potstickers and tuna tartare, salads, burgers and other sandwiches. If you come for lunch or dinner, you can also get grilled salmon, blackened redfish, shrimp and grits, pastas (cajun chicken, pappardelle bolognese, tortellini) as well as various cuts of steak. It's conveniently located right across from the Frist Museum and is part of the Union Station Hotel. I would try this place again for dinner, but would skip the brunch. And again, Savanna was top tier! She deserves all the flowers!

I've been here numerous times with friends and family and never not enjoyed the food and draft drinks I've tried.

Alternately, you can order the burger and fries portion for 8.99 with whatever other drink you'd like. My most-ordered appetizer here is the Nashville hot cheese curds, which are a simultaneously spicy yet comforting start to any meal. Service on my most recent visit ended up disappointing, as it went from being so friendly and attentive to then feeling passively rushed out (despite it being a cold, slow Friday night with plenty of available seating and time until close, especially when we'd been there maybe an hour or so and were finishing our drinks).

We had chicken tenders which were just fair and they were cold. We also had the Thai chicken salad it was just fair as well. It was just a sliver of chicken a a lot of lettuce.
