Hattie B's Hot Chicken serves up crispy, juicy fried chicken with a kick, paired with delicious Southern sides in a lively, welcoming setting.
"Hattie B's has perfected the method of hot chicken production, so you’re going to get a consistently cooked bird just about every single time. Locals love to sip an icy-cold glass of haterade when talking about the chain—it’s easy to feel like this is just hot chicken marketed to the masses. But their hot chicken has just the right amount of crispy skin-to-tender meat ratio, and an almost overwhelming number of different spice levels to choose from—the hottest tests even the mightiest tolerance for capsaicin. So yes, it’s a touristy spot with long lines at every location, but you can’t deny good hot chicken when you taste it. " - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones
"Hot chicken is a must in Nashville, and even though they have three locations (Melrose, Midtown, and West Nashville), Hattie B's always has a line out the door and around the corner. If you're patient, it's totally worth the wait for Nashville’s famous hot chicken, which comes in several heat levels: mild, medium, hot, damn-hot, and shut-the-cluck-up. Pro tip: place a pickup order online to skip the line. "
