Put quickly, this place is just overpriced and not quite on the ball. I got pickup, so I can't comment on the fairly plain location, but my order was right and I checked out quickly. The chicken tenders are large, but not huge, and for $12, I'd hope to get more than two and fries. But none of that can really solve the biggest problem - these are just not hitting the hot chicken bar for me. I lived in Nashville for the last four years before moving back. Hot chicken, to me, doesn't have hot spice coating nearly so powdery -... read more

Great hot chicken, the sliders are really tasty with great flavor. The sauce served with the meal is delicious, I wish it had come with the slider as well! I love hot food and eat a lot of spicy food and Extra hot is just about as hot as I'd like it! The food is a bit expensive but the portions are large and worth it! I've been to the location on the East side too, food quality is equal across both! I went in at 3:30 on a weekday, no line or much of a wait for food. Definitely worth trying, I've eaten hot chicken at the ... read more

Im visiting my sister and wanted some great comfort food to order in on a rainy day. I ordered a two piece meal, the chicken sandwich and the tender with fries! My food was seasoned well, fresh and the meat was juicy. Really good classic chicken spot. Just a warning that the hot is EXTRA HOT and the extra hot is SIZZLING with heat! I'll stick to a mild next time!

I ordered the chicken tenders with fries and a drink, but unfortunately, the chicken just wasn't for me. It seems like an acquired taste--the tenders were juicy, but I didn't enjoy the breading or seasoning. On the bright side, the fries were solid! That said, the service was great, and the restaurant itself is beautiful--super clean with amazing artwork that I absolutely loved. Even though the food wasn't my favorite, the atmosphere and hospitality were definitely on point! 

Business response:

Food made me sick the spice level is really different. Medium and mild didn't have much flavor at all.

I'm giving this 2 stars because the staff was friendly and the restaurant was clean. The food would get 1 star. We went on 8/31/23 and purchased two 2-tenders dinners (no spice) and one 2-tenders dinner with the "hot spice". Dinners came with 2 pieces of white bread (Not toasted, not buttered. just. bread), french fries and a small beverage. Came to $44.25. The price seemed steep before we ate, and seemed worse after we "ate". We didn't eat much. The fries were ok. Not great, but fine. The 2 "no spice" tenders were definitel... read more

Went over to try it out and ordered the meal with a slider, a tender and fries to go. Sit down to wait and wait about five minutes and start seeing people that ordered after me all getting their food. It wasn't real busy and the girl who took my order can see me sitting there waiting so you would think she would of realized I hadn't got my food. So finally I go up to the counter and ask what's going on the manager goes in the back and comes out with my food. The were polite and apologized and offered me a free drink which I... read more

Food was good, as I've had previously. But perhaps they should shut down until they've got the kinks worked out. Line out the door, only one register running to take orders while like 3 other people mill about in the front doing nothing.
