Share your opinion about Poppycox Nashville Hot Chicken
I had Nashville Hot Chicken - in Nashville - a few years ago, and this is the closest I've ever come to that in NC.
This review is actually a few months old - and I've only made it back once since my first taste - but I think about this place regularly and want to go back.
I got the 'stoopid hot' sandwich both times and it takes... a while... to eat it. Too much time contemplating all the right choices I made to get there between bites.

Their chicken is very good and very spicy
The best tenders and ranch I’ve ever had. The prices are a tiny bit high, but the quality is great and the portions are just as good. Would highly recommend

Poppycox Nashville Hot Chicken, located in Optimist Hall, is a highly praised spot for fried chicken and sandwiches. Visitors often highlight the large, perfectly fried chicken breast in the chicken sandwich, which is flavorful and crispy on the outside while tender inside. The sandwiches are known for their explosive flavors, especially with the contrast of sweet and spicy, and the second level of spice provides just the right heat for those who enjoy a little kick. The fries are seasoned, tasty, and served as an additional charge, adding to the overall experience.
The restaurant’s service receives high marks for being friendly, kind, and warm, even during busy times. Many reviews mention that staff members are super friendly and make the experience enjoyable from start to finish. The atmosphere in Optimist Hall is described as a great family environment, with convenient 90 minutes of free parking.
While some note that the tender loins can be chewy and that the quality may have declined slightly from previous visits, overall, Poppycox is appreciated for its delicious food and generous portions. It has become a favorite chicken spot for many, with some visitors even willing to travel from far away just to enjoy their explosive flavors and crispy chicken.
