been coming here for years, and always had great service until today. was utterly disgusted and disappointed by the bar tender's decision tonight, I asked politely if she could change the channel on the tv, but in response I got "you can give me a specific channel, otherwise I'm not fucking bothered" after this I was utterly confused at why I got this response because I was very kind in asking for a change in channel. after this I went to go return my dish (instead of leaving it for her to clean) and was waiting for her to clear out the bin where she said "give me that" in a mean tone and manner. then as I went to fill up my water she was giving me constant dirty looks, which made me uncomfortable l. then left to call someone while staring at me repeatedly. I was very disappointed in tonight's service.

Best chicken sandwich I've ever had next to chick fil a. Ordered the hot and it was perfect level of heat, super crunchy breading and high quality, juicy chicken. Ranch slapped as well.

Woah, I haven't reviewed Music City Hot Chicken? Shame on me.This easily has to be some of the best hot chicken in the city. Why? It's actually hot! I'm getting sick and tired of every restaurant in town putting a hot chicken sandwich on the menu and it possessing barely any heat. Hot chicken is hot chicken. Let's keep it that way!Best of all, Music City Hot Chicken is located inside one of my favorite places, TRVE Brewing. Hot chicken, beer and metal? Sign me up. AND CARVE SLAYER INTO YOUR FOREARMS WHILE YOU'RE AT IT.Service is quick. You order at the counter and in 10 minutes you pick up your food and enjoy. Music City's forte are their hot chicken tenders. If you can't handle the heat they have lower levels of spiciness. Also I'm pretty sure they make their own sauces, and it makes all the difference in the world.Don't sleep on this humble slice of hot chicken heaven.

As always, great food and nice staff. Clean joint.

I like the Chick-Fil-A spicy chicken sandwich. But Music City makes a real version of that, with real crunch, real flavor and real spice.If you are like me and scoff at the spiciness of most places' "spicy" chicken offerings, give this place a try. I did "White Hot" and it was perfect -- just spicy enough for me to pay attention, but not so much to make me sweat.

I was just headed to the thrift store next door, but I had to stop in for some hot chicken and Viking themed beer.The chicken - Nashville hot - was just exactly hot enough. Almost regretfully hot; makes you appreciate your beer!The music - some kind of blasting metal punk - wasn't my thing but thumbs up to them anyway for playing it.Staff were all cool.

Wanted some fried chicken and wanted to try something different than Dave’s which is normally our go to. Ordered for pick up a Nashville chicken sandwich and some tenders. Sandwich was good but wouldn’t call it “Nashville” hot, definitely sweeter than other hot chicken. Tenders were just okay. I totally expected at least one complimentary house sauce to come with tenders but it doesn’t. I paid for one .50 sauce with my online order just in case and they forgot it. Fries were the best part honestly. Would've been better with sauce tho… not worth coming back to

Simply put:Music City Hot Chicken's food is a must experience! The chicken was cooked all the way through while staying moist and tender. The texture of the breading was perfect. That taste though! It had a wonderful flavor profile with just enough sweetness to be addicting, spiciness to make the complexity of flavors accessible to the palate, and acidity to balance it all out. I had the Brussels sprouts as a side dish... Amazing! My buddy had the french fries which were perfectly fine, but not as exciting as the rest of the food. And, our order was ready in under 10 minutes!

We went to the location inside TRVE Brewing. They have a spot inside of the brewery. You can order online (toast) and pick up at their counter.The service was nice although we only interacted when picking up the food. The guy at the counter was really nice even thought he was very busy.As for the food, we tried the southwest chicken sandwich which was good if not a little bland. However, the Nashville hot chicken was spicy but so so delicious! The flavor hit me with a start of sweetness and then spiciness all the way. So tender, so juice, delicious. The Mac and cheese needed a couple more minutes of extra cooking and the fries were not my favorite - just a matter of preference there. The cheese sauce was delicious and so were the brussel sprouts. Overall, great place!

Good gracious this chicken is good. I thoroughly enjoy spicy food and like to think that I handle it well, but I had to bring the Nashville Hot chicken home to eat with a glass of milk. The flavor was amazing. The establishment itself is cool and hip, playing heavy metal etc. Not everyone's vibe but I enjoyed it. The bartender was really kind! Looking at other reviews I also agree the Mac n cheese side should be larger.
Flavor is great. Crunch is perfect. Portion is on point. I ate the white hot. It wasn't too hot. Will step up a heat lvl next time. Three stars because my sandwich that was delivered was missing the top part of the bun.

Ick. Learned if a brewery doesn’t allow tasting or have flights, just walk out. Flagship beer was sh*t.

Very good hot chicken! They embody the Nashville style with merciless flavor, crawnch, and heat. We ordered the green chile and white hot spice levels-right below and above "Nashville hot" on their menu respectively. Green chile has a great kick, white hot had a lingering heat but worth every bite because it's so crisp and juicy! Very cool atmosphere at the bar and really nice and patient staff.

I got the flammable solid chicken sandwich. It's not the hottest thing I've ever eaten but it will mess you up. Definitely not for the inexperienced. Flavor is great. Staff was nice. And great to get some Trve beer while you wait (which won't be long - fast service)
