“I was in the Nashville location on 1/28 during my visit to the area. It was packed but everything moved quickly, efficiently and the staff was so very friendly to everyone. That didn’t stop just at the start but all throughout our time there. The lady helping us (her name was Isis, I believe) even followed back up with us on something. Her and the manager went above and beyond to take care of us on something we didn’t even ask them to. Btw, nothing happened, they were just out of something, it came back in and they took care of us. A measure most would not do but she found us and made sure to take care. Now THAT is friendly customer service! The food is so amazing, y’all. This is going to be my new joint for every single visit to Nashville from now on. Hot dayum!!“

“This is the spot for fried chicken/seafood in Nashville. Ordered the chicken tenders and waffle ‘hella’ hot with extra pickles, and this was a perfect spice for me; boyfriend ordered catfish and shrimp ‘hot’, which made him sweat, an “enjoyable” level of spice he confirmed (note: it doesn’t take much to him sweat when it comes to spice). Service is fantastic and the atmosphere is just how we like it, highly recommend! 🐓 Btw you could easily split the servings between two but our spice necessitates separate orders. Enjoy!“

“I was very impressed by the taste and quantity of food. Very flavorful and unique but you’re best to get it for takeout or delivery. Much like the neighborhood, the restaurant is kinda dirty and unkept. Sticky tables, dirty windows and floors, handprints, and overall just a gross place to try to enjoy your meal in.“

“I'll always give Chick-fil-A my business and 5 stars; however, this particular location in Goodlettsville was THE slowest I had ever visited. This is not a fault of the staff but location. You have 2 lanes, great staff greeting with smiles and taking or confirming your order, then the 2 lanes merge into one after giving your order and the line just creeps. Even if this was a franchise owner for that location, that choice disrupts the flow of expectations Chick-fil-A delivers. Great food, great staff as always experienced just a one-star fail for me because of the congestion of traffic.“

The portions were generous, the food was hot and fresh, and the service was amazing. You can tell they actually care about the quality of their food and their customers. This is definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to, and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves fried chicken“

She even entertained my 2 year old, who does not warm up to people quickly, but she loved JoJo and kept looking for her to come back to the table. We got medium tenders and they were yummy, but very spicy. The spice meter is more spicy than your average spice level lol. Overall great experience and if we ever visit Nashville again, we will be back.“

The staff were very nice and quickly corrected an order we received by mistake. The mac and cheese deserves a special shoutout. It was hot, cheesy, and full of flavor. The snack pack was a unique twist of chicken on fries and tasted great too!

We had a great experience and will definitely be back next time we’re in Nashville!“
