    Hot Chicken Leg Quarter Combo
    Crystal L.

    The chicken leg quarter is fantastic and the spicy chili oil is top notch and it burns my tongue but it goes well with the coleslaw and ice tea. I wish I ordered coke. It would be so nice and complimentary to the hot chicken.

    Hot Chicken Breast Sandwich

    I came into to Helen's while waiting for my Rx to be filled at CVS across the street. The cashier was super helpful regarding cook times and hotness level. I opted for the chicken sandwich and fries. They were made to order and the buttery roll was grilled perfectly. Helen's does hot chicken with the right way, with spices in the breading. Not just dunking the meat in a sauce. The fries were freshly cooked.

    I am a fan! I got mild chicken and it was the perfect amount of spice. Fries were a bit greasy but overall yummy. Ordered to go and it was ready quick

    Best hot chicken in Nashville! Get the waffle, but you're going to need help to eat it.

    In short: The Nashville hot chicken of your dreams…read more I got this recommendation from my cousin . I wanted the best hot chicken money can buy and it delivered . We were staying downtown so This was about a 35 mins plus walk From the thick of tourist town. Ambiance: it's a little shack with barstool Type seating that goes fast. Service: not quick.. but that's okay because It's worth the wait . It was about 45 mins For our order and within a two hour time Frame I couldn't count the amount of people In and out . Food: I got the pimento hot chicken sandwich in medium. It had a little kick but I like spicy and could've went up a notch. It Was perfect ! Good breading, flavor profile and the chicken was piping hot! We also Ordered the pimento Mac n cheese which Was fire . I also had the mustard potato salad..again... absolutely delicious. I tried Hattie B's two days later and there's no comparison whatsoever . Come here for Nashville Hot chicken .. you won't regret it!

    4.5/5 - first timer at reds hot chicken & it did not disappoint!…read more Ordered the medium slice hot chicken & waffles with fries as a side. The chicken was fantastic - crispy, juicy & spicy! Fries were average - hot & seasoned but nothing special! I didn't have any of the other sides although I would love to try them if I make it back! We did wait 45 minutes for the food - but they have a sign flashing which tells you the wait time BEFORE you order so this was nothing surprising! Would recommend everyone to try it out if they make it to Nashville

Through the years that I've been enjoying these fresh, crispy, and spicy chicken during my nashville visits, I know that I can always count on high quality food and great service consistently - regardless of whatever location you are visiting or how busy or what time of day it is. On this most recent visit I stopped into the Melrose location. I picked the timing just right because despite being a full house we were able to order pretty quickly. Within 30 minutes of being there though the line was out the door and stayed that way for the next hour until we left. On this visit I went with the three tenders (medium) with their crispy crinkle fries and pimento mac & cheese and comeback sauce. It's my go-to for reason! Just enough heat so you dont hate yourself later and the mac and cheese is the very BEST. - highly recommend the grits as well. They are some of the creamiest I've ever had. Tip - while there is a dedicated parking lot here it's very tiny so be prepared to search for street parking. Be mindful of where you park on the street and keep an eye out for signs telling you to steer clear. Thanks for never disappointing Hattie B's!
