Ever heard of Nashville Hot Chicken? Hattie B’s is where you get it! The restaurant’s menu is filled with different forms of this coveted meal- you can get wings, tenders, or a sandwich. The chicken comes with different heat levels, “southern,” being no heat, leading all the way up to “hot,” “damn hot,” and the hottest, of which I cannot name despite its cleverness.

The flavor is amazing and as a spicy food enthusiast, it satisfies that want. The hot pieces are great dipped in ranch, and the chicken itself is excellent quality. The sides are incredible too! The french fries, mac and cheese, bacon-cheese grits, and the southern greens are fan favorites.

Hattie B’s has a major hold over Tennessee’s most popular city, having two locations that are always packed. The lines are long, but the service is good for how overwhelming it must be to work there! They have become longer since Covid shut everything down, as DoorDash made this place a priority. You can order ahead and pick it up at the counter, ready to go! Most natives choose this option, but the food is worth the wait even if you wait in line.

If you are ever in Nashville, this place is a must. My brother lives 40 minutes outside of the city, and every time I visit him I ask to go. Nashville is amazing. Visit sometime and go to Hattie B’s.
