I made a 4 paragraph review for the will location. Here it is (along with some edits): You should…read morego to Hattie B's Hot Chicken. It's a great place to go to for lunch, always leaving a tingle in the back of your throat long after you've eaten. It comes fresh and fried. It's easy to hold and they season it perfectly. They have six levels of spice, chicken wings, chicken tenders, and chicken sandwiches, grilled or fried. This leaves thirty six options to choose from! Now let's go on to the levels of spice, and which one is optimal for each.
Southern, no spice. Not only are you a coward if you get this, but it's HORRIBLE! It takes away all the flavor and leaves it to be as plain as Cane's without the sauce! I urge you to avoid this flavor, especially for your first try. It will leave a bad impression on the restaurant.
Mild, self-explanatory. A great flavor, for those who can't handle spice yet don't want the horrid blandness of Southern, I recommend for anyone who thinks medium is too hot. Your face may redden a bit, and cause sweat to roll down your cheeks, but it's worth it, as you leave your belly full of spice.
Medium, the best flavor. It's perfect. Mild is mama bear, Hot is papa bear, and medium is juuuuust right for these people. The optimal flavor for the wings, tenders, and sandwiches. I guarantee if you have this, you will come back. I recommend this for first timers and every time.
Hot, for the extreme. These are the people who like to go above and beyond, They're pure red, not a hint of the brown that made it mild and southern. Very good!
Damn Hot. We're one foot on the line of being too spicy to handle and/or taste good, with the other still in the "normal" territory. I think if you have enough comeback sauce with it it's really good. I've been eating this recently to prepare myself for a sandwich level:
Shut.The. Cluck. Up. Be careful. It's dangerous. Proceed with caution. This flavor is a safety hazard. If you have the sandwich here, you may have to be rushed into the hospital. I recommend you try it with a milkshake in hand, tenders in front, and to not touch your face. It's so hot it doesn't even taste good! You must try it. Because you won't know spice until you have it. Then you can brag and brag and brag to all your friends who haven't had it, and truly appreciate the milder flavors. If you know anyone who eats this regularly, stay away from them, they are a madman.
Now let's talk about the sauce. This is the greatest sauce I've ever had! Comeback sauce, the sandwiches can't be eaten without it! Great to dip fries, tenders, or wings into. Everything will feel lackluster without it once you've tried it. It's not incredible, it's beyond that. It's a collection of the greatest flavors spread across the universe, no, multiverse. If aliens were to come to Earth, it wouldn't be for cows, it would be for chicken and comeback sauce! I've never had anything like it.
Now we have the fries. Crinkle cut. "Dirty Bird Fries." Perfect name. Just, wow. The collection of spices are so grand, magnificent each in their own way. Sometimes they do get too many spices on them, and those specific fries are miserable. Get this over coleslaw or beans. For sure.
The service. With 5 people food will come out in 30 minutes. Everyone is happy to be there. Customers and staff. You can sit inside with AC, a patio with fans, or outside with umbrellas, or maybe not, just the mood.
Now, this is important, listen closely.They sell their spices! You can go in, grab spice that will last longer than a year for ten bucks. You can get it for each of the flavors (except for damn hot, I don't know why). If you want to make them without heat and with heat, no problem. If you want to have a harmless joke and put "Shut the Cluck up" in a friend's wings, feel free to do so. They'll certainly liven up the mood. It obviously won't be as good as if you sit down, but it'll still be great.
In conclusion, go to Hattie B's, the best restaurant in Nashville.
