I'm a fan! First time trying BJ Hot Chicken and it will not be my last. The food is made to order and fresh. You head up to the counter and let them know what you'd like and your spice level. I got the catfish sandwich medium heat and it had a nice little kick to it. The cashier was super helpful in explaining the spice levels. The inside is quiet as well as clean and you're able to either eat in or take your food to go. The catfish sandwiches were huge! You get two full hefty pieces of catfish and 4 pieces of bread to make 2 sandwiches. All the fixings are there to build the sandwich as well as your side. I opted for the potato salad which was a nice cooling agent for the spicy catfish. The food turned into two meals for the price of one. read more

BJ Hot Chicken - Catfish Sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

I'm a fan of their Hot Chicken. Happy I Tried it. I've only done take out from here. But, the restaurant always looks clean. The staff is friendly. The baked beans are really delicious. And you can't go wrong with the fries. It's good stuff! read more

Are you kidding me? Why is this not in the West Coast? We tried three different Hot Chicken spots during our 5 day trip to Nashville. I'm going to rate them in order with BJ's Hot Chicken being the top pick out of the three for me. For starters, this restaurant is clean and relatively new with plenty of seating for several group sizes. Our party of 4 spent the day out and about getting into shenanigans so we definitely worked up an appetite. We arrived during the dinner rush and ordered the following to share: #6 combo which was 6 WINGS + 2 SIDES ($18.99). We chose Mac N Cheese and Potato Salad as the two sides. Let me add the wings were massive! Definitely not the tiny chicken wings you would get from elsewhere. #11 combo which was CATFISH SANDWICH + 1 SIDE + 1 DRINK ($12.99). The side was french fries for this combo. Everything came out still steaming hot from the kitchen. The wings were well seasoned with their secret dry rub, and there was very little batter on the wings (which is how I like it!). I noticed a lot of chicken wing joints have too much breading on their wings making it hard for me to enjoy the true seasoning, spices, and flavors of the recipe. The chicken wings were so moist and juicy in the inside, and every bite was as savory as the next. The sides were fantastic and had its own signature taste complimenting the combos. The spice level to the Hot Chicken wasn't overly spicy for me but it certainly introduced what the kick would feel like -- I'm a fan of this restaurant and would highly recommend to anyone trying Hot Chicken for the first time. Bonus: the staff were very engaging and provided recommendations as we reviewed the menu. Very friendly and helpful. Wonderful experience all around! read more

We were headed for pizza when we noticed this place. I'd never heard of it or seen it even though it's been here well over a year. The restaurant is clean and the chicken is fried really good, not greasy. We'll definitely be back and will leave room for the remarkable looking popsicles they have to cool off our palate. read more

BJ Hot Chicken - me after eating BJ's Hot Chicken. this is five hours later. my mouth is on fi-yah - Chicken Shop Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

We were in Nashville for the first time and had to try a hot chicken sandwich. We decided to go to BJ hot chicken since it was on the way to the hotel. The chicken was nice and crispy and the coleslaw along with the sauce really put everything together for a delicious bite! For the sides, we tried the mac & cheese, greens, and potato salad. My favorite was the mac & cheese. It was very creamy. We ordered to-go and the wait was not long! read more

BJ Hot Chicken - BJ Hot Chicken Sandwich - Chicken Shop Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Stopped in today for some hot chicken which was a great idea because it was delicious. I ordered the 6 piece tenders (Hot) with Mac n cheese and collard greens. I enjoy that the heat level here is hot and not uncomfortable, it is possible to have heat and flavor without being so uncomfortable you can't enjoy your food. The tenders were fresh and you could tell they were hand breaded and not frozen. The Mac n cheese is a little too runny for me but tasted fine. The collard greens would be improved by having some pork or vinegar in it. However the sides were fine. The service was great as I ordered at the counter and the food came out quickly. If you're looking for some yummy hot chicken, stop in at BJ's Hot chicken and give them a try! read more

BJ Hot Chicken - Hot Chicken 6 Pieces Tenders & 2 Sides - Chicken Shop Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

We ate there over a year ago, shortly after they first opened, and it wasn't a good experience. We continued going to our favorite hot chicken place, but from what appeared to be mismanagement, they folded several months ago. We heard BJ's was much improved, we were missing eating hot chicken, so today we gave it another try. Pleased to report it was very good. I ordered mine mild. Unlike my previous visit there, the flavor was just right. Wings were outstanding. Excellent potato salad. I'll definitely have that again. The beans were good. Service was friendly and efficient. Restaurant was super clean. We'll be back next week. I'll probably try the breast quarter. read more

BJ Hot Chicken - 3 whole wings and fries hot - Chicken Shop Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

We have eaten at the Goodlettsville location and it is without a doubt some of the very best hot chicken we ever had. I got the medium hot leg and thigh and I loved it. My wife tried the lemon pepper leg and thigh, loved it as well. We have visited twice so far and the sides are all homemade and first class. The rain kept us home today (so far) but we are planning to get some to take home tonight for dinner. Friendly staff and spotless restaurant. We love the food here. Family run and it shows. This is the newest of several restaurants they own in other parts of the Nashville area. read more

We love hot chicken and have been traveling downtown for years. We're so happy that this place opened! Food and service are always excellent! We've become regulars here read more

After being on the road most of the day, this will put you to bed. The chicken is sturdy and tasty. I asked if lemon pepper was wet and the guy said it was but it was not. The greens were tasty but they could use some hot sauce packets. The mac n cheese is just run of the mill and it might be unfair because it's right before thanksgiving. I'll reiterate that the greens are good. My husband calls the mac "nostalgic". They were very friendly in there so we'll definitely be back..juicy chicken and friendly service. And they didn't forget my husband's ranch. So, kudos to you guys!! read more

We visited BJ Hot Chicken while on a quick trip to Hendersonville. While the location was small, the dining area was clean and tidy. The staff were super friendly and helpful when navigating the menu and options. The food, THE FOOD. The tender combo is one of the best meals we have had in a while in any town we have visited. Even with the quick drive to the hotel, the tenders were still hot and crispy, the sauces were delicious, the sides (fries and mac & cheese) were the perfect combination to the tenders. I wish I could come back here every week!! read more

The tenders and wings are amazing. We have tried the lemon pepper and garlic parm wings. Would order either one on repeat. Don't care for the sides, but who cares about them haha. The chicken more than makes up for it read more

Great food chicken and service as well as ambiance is just terrific!!!! Service is fast chicken is the best I have had in Tennessee and as always the best customer service ever. If your in the mood for hot chicken you need to come here for sure read more

BJ Hot Chicken - Number 1 meal with side of baked beans - Chicken Shop Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Small inside but cozy and clean. Service was great. Menu is smaller but the food is excellent. We had a catfish sandwich (so good) with a macaroni and cheese side (descent). 6 pieces of hot chicken with baked beans, both delicious. Their sauces were fantastic as well. read more

I'd driven by here several times and decided to give it a try. Very clean and nice new feel to this place. Friendly patient service explaining the different levels of "hot". We both tried #1 with three fingers and one side. I tried the mild and my son the regular. Both were made to order, so as a warning everything is hot. The mild was perfect...just enough seasoning to notice. My son really liked his regular. Fries were seasoned and the Mac n cheese was pretty good. Definitely worth a visit and we'll be back :-) read more

BJ Hot Chicken - #1 Mild - Chicken Shop Near Me - Hendersonville, Tennessee

Service was great! Food was served pretty quick and it was so delicious I highly recommended this place for hot chicken and the lemon pepper were my favorite read more

Meh ..... it's a bit greasy but tasty. The chicken is moist for the most part has a decent flavor. We got the mild, medium and hot. The hot, is pretty hot. The baked beans are terrible. Just straight out of a can with nothing added to make them tasty. The macaroni and cheese is chewy with little flavor. The little cup of the orange sauce is delicious. The restaurant is small and very clean. Service is quick and friendly. For the cost, I was expecting a bit more. It's not completely terrible but there's a lot better hot chicken. read more

The best hot chicken without driving to Nashville. Love how close this is compared to having to drive 45 minutes to Nashville. The chicken is amazing. read more

I haven't issues with the order getting prepared in a reasonable time. It took over an hour and 40 minutes to get my order.

Best hot chicken in town! We always order the chicken tenders with mild/medium heat and it is always perfect. All the sides are great but the mac is our favorite. We have been here 10+ times since they opened and have always had a great experience. Definitely one of my favorite places in town! read more

Best fried chicken without the wait. I wish we had one in Virginia. Super delicious. I definitely will be back if I'm back to Tennessee.

As my friend and I were leaving Nashville, my son asked me to bring home Nashville chicken. We had the medium and hot heat, the hot was the best for my son; medium was perfect for me! The fries and Mac n cheese were also very good. On top of great food, the employees were great to work with, very friendly! Would recommend this to anybody! read more

Wait time was a little long but the chicken was worth the wait, it was pretty good!, I would go back if I'm ever in the area again

I am kind of torn on this review because it was good chicken, but I would definitely not classify it as hot chicken. It does not have the flavor profile of a normal hot chicken and that was disappointing. There was nothing special about the sides - they seemed to be straight out of the can. For the price, I think I would opt for one of the MANY other true hot chicken places in town. read more

The chicken was really good. Got tenders and the sandwich. While the tenders were really good I prefer a filet for a sandwich instead of 2 tenders. It came with coleslaw and pickle. Spicy not hot. So hot is spicy extra, hot is pretty darn hot. The sides were canned collard greens and baked beans. Not bad but just ok.The coleslaw was good. The fries were decent. The chicken is some of the best chicken out there for fast food. read more

I'll stick with Slow Burn. Chicken was average, service was poor. (Not the employees but the managers.) Seemed a bit overpriced too. read more

Well, I was impressed. Last time we went there the heater was out and it was cold. But, they stayed and the chicken was awesome.

Order to be delivered. I ordered 2 different items, 1 hot and 1 mild with different sides. I received 2 of the exact same order. Not happy at all. read more

Great chicken. Hot was perfect amount of heat. Mac and cheese was the best from any takeout.

Been meaning to try this place since it opened. My wife and I decided today was the day. We placed our orders. I ordered water to drink. I drink a lot of water so I asked for a larger cup and the cashier was about to give me one until the manager walked up beside her and took it out of her hand! She gave me a smaller cup. I heard another couple ask where their food was. They were told that tenders take ten minutes. The customer replied it had been 30 minutes. Their food came out quickly. Ours took about 15 minutes. I ordered the hot chicken and fries. The hot chicken was not hot but the fries were good. My wife ordered the garlic parmesan tenders, and they didn't look good. They didn't taste good either. We will not be back. read more

It is so good! I ordered the hot chicken sandwich and boy what is good. I know it says hot in the name but what I love is that you get to choose your level of spice which is great for people like me who can't handle anything spicy. The portions are perfect they aren't big but they aren't small. I can't wait to tell others about this place. Btw it's clean too! read more

Ordered this from DoorDash on a whim and I was so surprised at how good it was! Way better than slow burn and almost as good as Moore's. Fries were awesome, chicken flavorful and crunchy. A must try! read more

One of the best chicken sandwich's I've had. Great service, fresh and awesome food. I don't care for super hot, so it's nice you can get the heat you prefer, even garlic Parmesan! Great experience. read more

Quality chicken tenders that are cooked perfectly with flavor and juice. Came out hot too! Medium and mild sauces are great! Will be back!

I was craving some hot chicken and did not like the options in this area, but saw that this place had just opened up. Idk about some of these other reviews, but my chicken was fire! I got the 6 piece wingettes (Medium) with greens, Mac n cheese, and baked beans. I gave 4 stars because the greens and baked beans were just ok. The Mac n cheese was the best side. I'll definitely be back again.! read more
