The friendliest customer service I've encountered in Nashville. Luckily there was no line, like we…read moreexpected but 10 minutes in, I'm glad we were before the lunch crowd. I ordered 3 piece whole wings, with 2 sides. Baked beans and southern greens. I ordered the peach cobbler à la mode and was happy the cashier recommended I pay first and they would bring it out when I was ready to eat it. - she did just that, without my prompting. I ordered the spice level HOT and it was good and spicy. If you don't like spice, get the medium spice level. The sweet tea and the in house made lemonade tasted awesome. I refilled 3 times... but also because they had the best ice My friend had the tenders and said they were very good as well along with the banana pudding! The resturant was clean and accommodates large groups as well. I did not like the baked beans but my friend did so they did not go to waste.

We travel, we discover, we learn things about places that might create a level of discomfort. That…read morediscomfort can come in a variety of shapes and if it occurs in Nashville, it's likely to be in the form of ordering hot chicken at an overwhelmingly crazy spice level without fully comprehending what just happened. And what better place to experience such a moment than Hattie B's, a local family fun institution. Started in 2012 by a father and son duo, this is the original location of the establishment despite many other outposts now present through the southern US. Now, back to the spice level. Beyond the standard selections, there are extreme variants like Damn Hot! and Shut the Cluck Up! That's where things get really interesting, because survival instincts always get tested when things are not standard. Those levels are not for the faint of heart. The hot chicken here is legitimately phenomenal regardless of level chosen and the tenders are the most famous cut. The pimento Mac and cheese and the bacon grits are not to be missed as sides. Maybe, just maybe, what separates Hattie B's is the mom and pop feeling of the establishment despite becoming ridiculously popular with tourists. The people taking orders are so nice and enjoy a conversation despite the massive line. All around, Hattie B's hits the spot.

Wow! I wanted to lick the place but I have manners (in public, ha). I came here very late and I was…read moresurprised it was still open. The flavors ... the atmosphere was nice because nobody was there, a few people came in to pick up orders. The staff were friendly and attentive and the food came fast, hot and fresh. I definitely recommend this place for everyone. Come check them out!

Such sweet staff. They welcomed me in and helped me through the menu. The food was flavorful,…read morejuicy, and delicious. There is street parking available on the street outside of the restaurant. There was ample inside and outside seating. I ordered the Chicken Shish Kabob. The meal came with salad and rice. The dressing was an interesting color but turned out being yummy. The portion size was great. I was able to take some home as left overs. There is a spicy sauce that they use within a different meal that I requested on the side. It was hot but added so much flavor to the meal. If you love chicken, this is your spot!

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 get their medium wings with fries and peach cobbler, you will have one of the best layover at BNA airport! They have plenty of seats inside so no worries there. The wings were jumbo and just the right spice! Peach cobbler could have more of the crust but it was good. Line goes fast so it's worth the wait.

Hattie B's Hot Chicken has some of the best chicken I've had in Tennessee. If you've been a Hattie…read moreB's you know that to be true. This review is about their macaroni and cheese I had the mac and cheese by itself as my wife wanted chicken and I only wanted a light meal ,nothing fried before I got on a 4 hr night flight. Normally mac and cheese is a go-to because it is warm and comforting. THIS WAS NOT IT..... This mac and cheese was not very good,not something I'm used to when visiting a Southern State. The cheese tasted fabricated and the macaroni was way mushier than macaroni noodles should be. I think they should keep trying, however because I did not eat the mac and cheese and I was too far away from the location inside the airport to return, I decided just to toss it and eat nothing. Hattie B's managers or cooks should really taste their mac and cheese before serving it to anyone I hope this is just a one-off and it's not as bad as the one I had. I should have listened to the cashier when she told me it wasn't that good to her. Either way good luck and if you like it you like it maybe it's just me I will try it again next time I visit Tennessee just not the one in the airport.

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

Best fried chicken I've ever had…read more Only bummer was their chicken sandwich stops being served after 3pm. Chicken was super crispy but not greasy and perfectly seasoned. Sticky rice was perfect consistency. Sauce was a perfect acidic spice added. Only thing I wish was there was a mango glaze or something for the chicken. Didn't get a pic but the mango sticky rice was served in a cube and was incredible. Perfectly caramelized and sweet but not overly. One in our group described it as a mango rice version of the outside of coconut shrimp and that's super accurate. Set up was cool too! Absolutely recommend.

FOOD!! OMG! Where do I PHUCKIN' begin, I have this…read morerestaurant a try three times and all three times the food was SHYTTY!!! First time I ordered the order was wrong. I wrote it off as an AUDIO issue with the intercom system. Second time I went, they still got my order wrong again. ‍‍‍ I don't know if the people there don't want to work or they're there just to get a check. NO one takes pride in their work. So today, 1/28/26 @ 12 pm ai decided to give them another shot since I was starving because I hadn't eaten since the ice storm hit Saturday. No Electricity No Hot Water Food spoiled in fridge!!! So I go and order a #2 combo large Easy mayo Extra tomatoes NO lettuce NO onion I don't care for lettuce and I'm allergic to onions. Tell me why I had 4 pieces of onion smashed into my top bun? Immediately had to throw the bun away. WTF Meat not fully cooked. How can you not fully cook a patty that isn't even 3/4 inches thick is beyond me. My 12 year old daughter can cook a frozen patty until it's done!! WTFYM!! Just pathetic!! I truly feeling like WHATSABURGER has SCAMMED me out of 40 bucks. DEAR AMERICA STOP EATING AT WHATSABURGER BECAUSE YOU NEVER GET WHAT YOU WANT ON YOUR BURGER!! Y'all need to scrap the whole system of this fowl food system you call a burger joint!!! I WILL NEVER EAT THIS FOOD AGAIN AND IM ABOUT TO COPY / PASTE THIS MESSAGE ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA PAGE AND THEN GO LIVE WITH MY 100k followers and have them repost this until it goes nationwide.
