Popular Hugh-Baby's opening on West End Avenue

Barbecue king Pat Martin is bringing is retro burger and barbecue joint Hugh-Baby's to West End Avenue this spring.

The Nashville-based fast food restaurant known for its tasty burgers, smoked barbecue and hand-spun milkshakes will replace the former Which Which at 3001 West End Ave. in late April.

The 2,500-square-foot restaurant will offer the same menu as the outpost at 4816 Charlotte Ave., which has quickly become a Nashville favorite since opening last year.

Hugh-Baby's is reminiscent of an old-school, small-town burger joint, with a simple menu, affordable eats and a family-friendly atmosphere complete with an outdoor kids play area.

Menu options include the BBQ Burger made with a custom beef patty ground in-house daily and topped with pulled pork, American cheese, grilled onions, jalapenos, mayo, mustard and Hugh Baby’s BBQ sauce for $5.49; Chili Cheese Fries for $3.29; and house-made vanilla, chocolate and strawberry milkshakes for $3.75.

The West End Avenue restaurant will serve Slugburgers, a Depression-era tradition that combines meat with an extender such as flour or meal. The slugburgers will be available on Fridays only.

Martin is also the owner of the Martin’s Bar-B-Que restaurants.
