Today I realized it was right down the street from me so I stopped by, no one came to the counter right away so I was able to snap a picture of the menu. As I tried to sneak out the owner came to the window and I felt compelled to order a fish plate and wings. I just wanted to check the menu because I knew I wouldn't want to pay $20 for food. I left and came back about 20 minutes later and the food was ready and still very hot. My 2 plates only came out to $13 and change so I was very happy about that. The food taste amazing to say the least. My wings were seasoned perfectly and came with a Buffalo ranch sauce that my mom used to make at home, didn't even know that sauce was a real thing! The fish was perfectly crispy and the coleslaw different, since it had relish and mustard in it, and still very good. The best part of it all to me were the fries, I love how they were seasoned and soft. I could not tell for sure but some of my wings looked like the meat may have been old or previously thawed out, learned that from watching kitchen shows on TV. Still very good and not worth losing a star over. This restaurant is only open Thursday through Saturday and it's tucked off in a neighborhood beside the public works office.

Our plates of pork chops, chicken, salads, and sides were served up fairly quickly, and everything was delicious. My husband and our friend both said the pork chops were some of the best they had ever tasted! I enjoyed my chicken fingers, and the honey gold sauce, which reminded me of a hot mustard, was delicious. This was a great spot with good food and friendly service. I would definitely recommend giving them a try.

I didn't get the "sign a waiver" chicken because I've never been a fan of that... but I got the next hottest down. (3rd base) I'll say that it's hotter or as hot as most of the other good places around Nashville's hottest chicken. "Steeling 3rd base" is great to balance flavor and heat to me. They only have kool-ade and bottled drinks. But they have fair prices. I'll be back for sure!!! I don't know why, but several of these hot chicken style places don't serve real brewed sweet tea. Just FYI, actual brewed tea would put your place over the edge!

I will definitely be back to try some other options, but the chicken tenders are awesome!

4.5 The new year is…read moreas good as time as ever to try a new (to you/me) restaurant in an unvisited (by me/you) part of the midstate. Old Hickory Blvd is to the Nashville area as Peachtree is to Atlanta: it's everywhere and nowhere at the same time and no one knows where you are if you say you're on it. Well, needing lunch on a Friday in the new year, I made my way onto Old Hickory to see where it took me. It led me to... Old Hickory and Granddaddy's Original Hot Chicken Shack. It had been on my radar for a while but I never had a reason to me in this part of the county. I decided to make time on this day. Besides the potential gastric distress I find myself avoiding hot chicken because of how colonized and commodified it's become. What was a community staple (and not a 'Nashville' food) has become something that's turned into a chain item, largely without the very people who made it a thing (creators and patrons). Incredibly frustrating. So, when I decide to eat it, I want to make sure I do so responsibly and with consideration. Hence, Granddaddy's. I parked in the ample lot and walked in to find a small dining room that smelled incredible. I was greeted with an authentic smile (you can see it in the eyes and hear it in the voice) and asked (first) how I was doing and (secondly) what I'd like. I answered ('well; thanks for asking' and 'shredded chicken sandwich & fries to go, please.'). In all my professional eating*, I don't think I'd ever had shredded hot chicken. I was going to learn that day. I sat down and watched TV as my food was prepared. After the conclusion on my show, my food was ready. I thanked the folks behind the counter, smiled, waved, and hit the bricks. I noticed that I made a muscle when carrying the bag. This was a good sign. It was also a long drive back to my house. I got home and realized why I had to exert effort to lift my food: it was huge. You definitely get your money's worth. On an over-sized bun, I had an extremely generous amount of shredded hot chicken (medium), cheese, ranch, and pickles. As you might imagine, the flavor combo was A+. What you might not have bet on, though, was the texture win of the sandwich. The soft bun, shredded chicken, creamy ranch, and crunchy pickles added up to a memorable chew with every bite. The fries weren't merely a side. They demanded your attention: a generous portion of seasoned fries that lost neither heat nor snap on the drive from Old Hickory to my home. No matter where you live in the midstate, if you profess to enjoy hot chicken, you owe it to your mouth to make it to Granddaddy's. It was one of the best lunches I'd had in a while. I still think about it. *It's true.

I'm a fan! First time trying BJ Hot Chicken and it will not be my last…read more 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.

If you're going to put "Burgers" front and center on the sign at M. L. Rose Neighborhood Pub,…read moreyou're basically planting a flag. You're saying, this is our thing. This is what we do. Bold move. So I walk in thinking, alright, these folks have chosen their lane and they're cruising in it. Server comes over and asks how I want my burger cooked. Not prompted. Their question. I say rare. Now we're in business. Expectations go up. Burger hits the table. I build it out, get everything lined up, take the ceremonial first cut... Brown. All the way through. Not a hint of pink. Not even a rumor. This burger wasn't rare, it wasn't medium, it wasn't even medium-well. This thing had been thoroughly introduced to fire and then reintroduced just to be sure. I'm sitting there deciding if I just accept my fate when the server steps in, sees it, and shuts it down. Credit where it's due, she wasn't letting that slide. Manager comes over, apologizes, and asks again if I want it cooked through or with pink. Again, their question. I stick with rare. Let's run it back. Second burger arrives. At this point I'm less diner, more detective. Cut into it... and somehow, impressively, we have achieved the exact same result. Brown. Uniform. Committed. If consistency is the goal, congratulations, mission accomplished. Manager sees it this time. Offers a third try. I decline. I'm not here for a burger trilogy. I tell her I'll eat it as-is and we can all move forward with our lives. But wait, there's more. My colleague orders the bacon cheeseburger. Key word here being bacon. Not implied. Not optional. Literally in the name. Burger shows up... no bacon. At this point I'm starting to think the menu is more of a suggestion than a contract. Look, I don't get it. If you're going to ask how a burger should be cooked, cook it that way. If a burger has bacon in the name, maybe... include the bacon. Just a thought. Now to be fair, the fries were actually good. Crispy, seasoned, showed up and did their job like professionals. And the front of house staff tried. You could see the effort. They cared, they responded, they did everything they could to fix what was coming out of the kitchen. So here's where I land. Three stars overall for service, effort, and fries that understood the assignment. The kitchen gets one star. Not because they failed once, but because they proved, twice, that they can consistently ignore both temperature requests and basic burger ingredients.
