    I've visited several times in the last two year and most recently in the last few weeks, several times. Since I last reviewed in 2018, I must say the chicken is still really delicious, juicy, flavorful, plentiful, and more! I have thoroughly enjoyed my meal each time. The sides are better from the last time I reviewed. The greens are flavorful, the cheese grits are creamy and savory (so good), and the bread is always fresh. The service is still friendly and fast. I will definitely be frequenting them more! Love it!

    Haven't eaten here in awhile,decided to get dinner with my bestie. I opted for the dry rubbed seasoning instead of the usual wet hot sauce. And I thoroughly enjoyed my chicken! Juicy, flavorful, fried to perfection. I think imma do the dry rub from now on,I didnt have indigestion later,either. Ambiance is fast and casual. Service is fast but sometimes it's a wait for chicken. Which, i dont mind because its freshly cooked.

    We really enjoyed our Hattie B's Hot Chicken experience in Memphis. The vibe was great when we walked through the door. Service was friendly and helpful upon ordering our food at the front. The food was great, however, two of the three sandwiches we ordered were a bit on the dry side. Overall, the flavor was outstanding, but the chicken seemed to be a little overcooked. All of the sandwiches had a perfect level of spiciness that we anticipated. Hopefully, we came on an off day, because we really enjoyed eating here. Definitely recommend giving them a try.

    Flew into Memphis for work, can't tour the city and not stop into Hattie's. But my visit wasn't a good one. Placed an order for my food around 3:28pm (never got a receipt, and 30 mins later my crew for their food and finished eating I never received mine. I went to the counter and asked was my order still coming out, she said she doesn't have any record of an order being placed. I showed her the charge on my account and she still didn't believe me. She end up giving me the order but it wasn't what I ordered at all. Probably won't be coming back ....

    A bowl of inedible salt. Just go to Gus'. The food is awful. I got a fried chicken salad delivered. Not only was the chicken so salty, I had to throw it out, they forgot to put the salad dressing in the bag. The macaroni and cheese was good.

    I stopped here while visiting Memphis because it had good reviews and I was craving hot chicken. The restaurant was clean and had fun Hattie B themed decor all around. The person at the counter was friendly and very helpful with ma order. All of the staff were friendly and efficient with seeing to everyone's needs even though it's not a full service type restaurant. We tried both the fried chicken and the chicken sandwich. If you're used to spice, definitely try "spicy" level. The chicken was delicious. The sides were fine but the slaw was on the sweeter side for me. It recommend giving this place a try if you haven't yet.

    Second time and it was just as great as the first time. Seems to be always busy which is always a good sign!! Customer service is wonderful! Friendly people! Welcoming with a big smile which is appreciated! We drove about 20 minutes out of the way just to bring my daughter's BF and it was worth it!

    Another over the top hospitality from Hattie b's. The food is always a good, hot and fresh. This business understands that hot, fresh, and consistently is the key. Now one employee stood out from the rest. Hattie b's was our first stop after driving 4 hours to get there, this employee greeted us before we even got in the building! I told him that we were going to spend our 25th anniversary in Memphis and eat at Hattie b's like we did last year. Carlos (the employee) congratulated us and gave us a free dessert. We talked for a few about long term marriages and hope to have his own someday. It's employees like that, that keep us coming back. (And the food of course) thanks Hattie b's. Those picks were from all three days we were there.

    One of the best meals I had in Memphis. The dried chicken was fire! Medium spice was perfect for me. Hot took away from the flavor a bit. Private lot but if it's full you can park along the side streets in the suburbs behind the restaurant. The staff was incredibly friendly. The collard greens and the green beans were really good.

    I'm not a fan of Hattie B's hot chicken and will never order it again. The chicken, which is supposed to be hot is sprinkled with sugar, is an absolute disappointment. My cousin raved about it, and my coworkers claimed it was "amazing chicken," but then said there might be an even better place. I understand that every restaurant has off nights--I have over 23 years of experience in the industry, both in management and in the kitchen, and I've had bad nights myself. However, this is different. I paid over $16 for leg quarters--legs and thighs, not breasts--and the price is unreasonable for those pieces. The worst part was how greasy the chicken was. It dripped with so much oil you could grease nuts and bolts twice over. Clearly, this is harmful for blood pressure and cholesterol. The two pieces of Texas toast were supposed to help soak up some of that grease, but it didn't work. Sorry, but this is a hard pass for me.

    Made a stop here on a road trip! The chicken was amazing, very juicy with just the right amount of seasoning! I ordered the two piece combo and left stuffed. The staff were very friendly and there was plenty of seating area indoor and outdoor.

    Hattie B's Hot Chicken is a pit stop for those who crave spicy fried chicken. My first order of boneless chicken tenders were limp, not crispy and rather tasteless. Not impressive, and would have stopped coming all together. But everyone else's orders look red hot and crispy. So I knew there must have been an inconsistency. On my second visit, I knew better and ordered what everyone else got. Bingo! It was the best crispy fried chicken in town. I highly recommend the Bone-In Plates menu as they are freshly made to order and come out hot and crispy. You can ask for your order to be done extra crunchy. The mild hot sauce is also pretty tolerable and spices up the chicken with that oomph factor I didn't know I needed. Hattie B is where it's at!

    Hattie B's = #IYKYK I wish we could have caught my husband and I's reaction when we learned our favorite Nashville hot chicken spot had a location in Memphis while we were vacationing there. At our first chance, we stopped in to indulge and this location didn't disappoint. We were grateful this location isn't as busy as the Nashville locations, but it is the same quality and taste. There's also more tables and space to dine-in here, but take-out is always an option (you just won't be able to partake in the delicious AYCD sweet tea).

    Do they allow small dogs in the outdoor dining area?

    We do! Come on down!

    Is this chicken joint similar to GUS'S, with only spicy chicken?

    They offer chicken tenders either grilled or spicy cooked to your heat level (no heat, mild, medium, hot, damn hot and one other hotter) also chicken (dark or white) cooked the same heat levels (but not grilled)… Read more

    I can not believe I have not reviewed Soul Fish as of yet. I am a huge fan…read more Let me preface this review by saying ... My grandfather owned two successful catfish restaurants. As a child I grew up on fried fish filets and hush puppies until my grandfather had to retire and sell his restaurant due to his Health. He still cooks up a mess of catfish for us about two or three times a year when we visit. Yum! My standards for good catfish are extremely high. Good fried catfish is not greasy, light cornmeal batter, tender flaky inside, and slightly crispy on the outside. Sounds simple enough but the truth of the matter is... Good fried catfish takes skill. After an epic searched for any decent catfish in Memphis and surrounding areas that took a few years ... My family and I decided to give up. And when I heard about Soul Fish it took some considerable convincing to get them to go. We where, none of us, disappointed! Soul Fish is without a doubt the best Catfish in Memphis. It is perfectly fried... Hushpuppies are tasty, coleslaw edible if not always yummy, fried pickles crisp and tart, pickle green tomatoes so yummy I could swim in them, and vegetables always cooked and seasons well (special recognition to the cabbage, broccoli, and black eyed peas). The service is always friendly, fast, efficient, and correct. The blackened catfish is pretty tasty too ... Sometimes they get a little heavy handed on the seasoning. Deserts are pretty great as well. My sister loves the Mississippi mud chocolate thingy they have (I'm not a chocolate fan). I've introduced many people (about 40 or so) to Soul Fish - locals and visitors alike - and no one ... And I mean not a single one of them where disappointed. So why four stars instead of five? True... the catfish is the best in Memphis - however it is not the best I've ever had. And Sometimes a filet or two at Soul Fish fall short of perfection... However ... I'm a regular and a fan of Soul Fish Cafe. If you have spent hours and disappointed meals trying to find good catfish in Memphis ... Look no further ... This is the place for you. I promise you will not Be disappointed!

    Still on the amazing food stops from our December 2025 Smoky Mountains trip, our final Tennessee…read moremeal had to be memorable--and Soul Fish Cafe delivered. Memphis is a slight detour on our way back to Texas, but there was no way we were settling for fast food along the highway. We wanted good seafood--fresh, satisfying, and worth the stop. So glad we chose this spot. From the outside, it's simple and unassuming. Inside, it feels like a slightly bougie fish cafe--clean, cozy, and well-kept, with subtle holiday decor and that warm Southern hospitality greeting you at the door. Our server, Denise, was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely welcoming. The one-page menu keeps it simple, and she walked us through it along with the daily special. We ordered the gumbo, salmon burger, and a grilled salmon plate--everything tasted fresh and cooked to order. A perfect seafood meal in Tennessee. We left full, happy, and already planning what to try next time. Definitely a spot worth revisiting.
