    Stopped in on Nov 3, 2025 for a take-away lunch and I'm glad I did. The Thyme Chicken and the hummus were excellent--fresh & flavorful. Service was quick, and while I didn't have time to dine in, the space looked great: ample seating, a bar, and a warm, inviting vibe. There is also an outside dining area that would be great when the weather is nice. It's an easy walk from 21st Avenue on Belcourt and a new addition to the Hillsboro/Vandy area. If you haven't been, check it out!

    This was some of the best food I've had in awhile. From the moment you pull up this restaurant is inviting. The decor is beautiful and clean. The staff answered every question we had and was prompt and friendly. Now the food...it was so good. I really didn't know what to expect with the flavor but it was good! The chicken was flavorful and juicy. Whatever sauce is on the salad should be bottled and sold separately. It was delicious on everything and not just the salad. No complaints here and I can't wait to go back and try more of the menu

    Chicken kabob

    Have had this spot bookmarked for awhile & found myself near the hospital later on a Friday night with perfect weather so the wife & I ate outside. The decor here is really nice both inside & out. Service is quick & friendly. Food is delicious. We had some hummus with warm pita to start. Wife got the chicken shish kabob & I had the iskender plate. Everything was hot & so good. Really hit the spot after a long strenuous work day. Looking forward to my next meal here to try something else!

    I came here about a year ago, and still the same great experience and service! The chicken kabobs were so yummy and the pasta sauce was amazing!! Everyone was so friendly as well.

    5 stars for service, ambiance and food in a category of casual and home made food (at least how it tasted to me). Very authentically made alinazik, smoky flavor, light and delicious. Less impressed with the spicy chicken - a bit greasy for my liking, and odd to see macaroni as part of Turkish plate. Next time I'd try something "cleaner", and more traditional.

    Thyme Chicken
    Paul V.

    Only Chicken has a great atmosphere, friendly service, and very tasty food. I enjoyed their plating, highlighting each portion of the meal clearly as you dig in. I had the thyme chicken and found each bit delicious. What a great little spot for a meal. Glad that I found it while I was nearby.

    Thyme Chicken

    Okay so. I'm not sure what to call this place. It certainly isn't authentic, but the food IS good. I got the thyme chicken with pasta and salad. The salad dressing is a sort of pink whipped ranch which is fun, and the pasta is just your standard pasta with cheese sauce. The chicken was really tasty and savory. I enjoyed it all, but I'm just not sure what it was. Is it Mediterranean? Is it Greek? Is it Italian? I guess those all fall under the Mediterranean umbrella, but it's just not something I've seen before, and I'm not yet sure how to feel about it.

    Hummus with pita
    Christine E.

    The food was delicious. Cannot recommended this amazing experience located near the Belcourt theater more. Loved the totally relaxed vibe with the great selection of Bossa Nova music. As another reviewer said "The ingredients are all fresh, the service great, the food spectacular" and I couldn't agree more. I had the chicken shish kabob, my friend had the chicken curry and we split the hummus. Everything was so flavorful. Total comfort food, which brightened the chilly day we went. The hummus was freshly made and well seasoned. Both chicken dishes were absolutely delicious. The chicken was so tender and juicy. The fries that came with the chicken curry are some of the best fries we've had as they were perfectly crispy and well seasoned. Cannot wait to come back to try other dishes and the front patio when the weather is warmer.

    Wonderful, very Flavorful Dishes. Amazing Service, especially for Disabled Persons! Comfortable seating inside and outside for friends and families alike! It's worth a trip to come and eat here anytime!

    Would def comeback! Good pasta, good rice, the chicken is good, but can be better. But it's good. Wonderful service, kind staff, super super clean, cozy, good overall!

    It's interesting. We wanted to meet with friends, not to be any high scale restaurant, rather the one more relaxed, low key with a good food. As you can guess we got it. Thanks to fellow Yelpies a their reviews we ended up having dinner at "Only Chicken". Exteriors of the restaurant is colorful and is appealing and welcoming. You have the same filing walking inside, warm and welcoming. Service was great. We got engaged in a very nice conversation with the owner. Because we love Turkish Cuisine we exchanged with him some way of food preparation. We, all loved our meal choices. My choice, Spicy Chicken was delicious. Hopefully, I will have opportunity to refer "Only Chi" to my friends as a good place to go.

    Sampler appetizer, a bit of everything to try
    Annette M.

    First time in today after reading glowing Yelp reviews and the restaurant did not disappoint. Excellent and friendly service. Everything we tried was affordable and fantastic. Our favorites were the sampler appetizer, chicken wings, thyme chicken and baklava dessert. Everything was cooked fresh and super flavorful. We enjoyed our meal on the cute patio on a beautiful evening in Nashville. Can't wait to come back and try more menu items. PS for Vandy students, restaurant will be added to Taste of Nashville and accepting Commodore Cash in August.

    Food 5/5 Turkish restaurant with plenty of variety and the menu had pictures to help you select if your visual like me. I don't think you can choose anything "wrong" on this menu. All of the food was OUTSTANDING. The temperature, flavor, portion and presentation were just right! Service 5/5 Our waiter was the owner (that we later found out) and he was so personable and friendly. I believe his name was Ozan (?) He was helpful with suggesting menu favorites and continuously checking on us. He even blessed us with a complimentary dessert, which was out of this world! Ambiance 5/5 The ambiance is casual with inside/outside dining options. We sat outside on a nice sunny day. I can not wait to get back here and take my mother! Y'all have a great thing g going on at Only Chicken!!!

    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

If you're in Nashville visiting and you haven't tried their Nashville hot chicken, then this is a place that is worth visiting.

We ordered: Tenders with 3 different heat levels The chicken Sandwich and waffle I think this is a really good place to go and the staff is super well trained and nice. They handle the traffic very well and the chicken is cooked perfectly. I really enjoyed the potato salad and coleslaw. The waffle was a bit dense for me and not fluffy enough but maybe that's just their style. The hot wasn't too hot so I might have to try their next spicier level.

I've been here before, but I haven't written a review for this location. Luckily, there wasn't a line when I arrived at 9:15pm on a Wednesday. I ordered 2 hot Nashville Chicken sandwiches for $21 total. This place always hits the spot. I like the flavor of the sandwiches and the comeback sauce. The coleslaw is always fresh too. Great place to go after a long day of fun on Broadway.

    First time in Nashville. Since Nashville hot chicken restaurants are spreading like wildfire in…read moreCalifornia, we decided to try the original. My wife found this place on social media. They have multiple locations, but this place is away from the usual tourist spots so we decided to give it a try. This place is busy, most people here looked local. The place was clean, bright, decorated with bold red colors. We decided to share half a chicken, dark meat, hot. The food came out shockingly fast. The skin was spicy, flavorful and the meat was so tender. I was thoroughly impressed. My wife's first time trying southern grits at my insistence, and of course it blew her mind. Finally the beans was also really good. Two thumbs up! Tip, they sell t shirts and spice where you wait in line, they are such cool Nashville souvenirs

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!
