Pepperfire Hot Chicken

Updated this as of 11/25: This place is still wonderful. It's probably my favorite hot chicken place. The tenders are also so most and the taste is just perfect. The fries are great as well! You can dine in now.

Girls trip to Nashville!! We grabbed a quick bite to eat and it was AMAZING!! The service was top tier! I got the training wheel chicken strips and they were juicy, seasoned to perfection, and FRESH!! The fries and fried okra were crispy and hot. Everything was so good they exceeded my expectations. I will definitely be back.

The chicken sandwich was delicious and the service was great. Highly recommended!

I’ve been frequenting this restaurant for some time now. Quality food has always been their standard i have never been disappointed with the food nor the service. Pepperfire is the best hot chicken spot you’ll stumble across

Noticed cooks were both only wearing one glove and thought to myself “god I hope they washed their hands” — Food poisoning kicked in at 3am last night and is still going strong this morning 🥴

I love the seasoning on everything. Wings were amazing. Tenders was amazing

I am not a hot chicken afficionado, but this was the best hot chicken in town I've had in my limited experience.

Atmosphere is meh, maybe better for takeout or quick bites

Came around 2PM on a weekday. You order on a machine and your order gets called out, an employee greeted me and told me to let them know if I had any questions.

I got the Tender Royale, which they say is the signature dish - 3 tenders and a deep-fried grilled cheese sandwich, along with a side, two slices of pickles, and your choice of sauce. I got mac and cheese for my side and sabi sauce - unsure what sabi sauce is but it was tasty!

Order came out quickly, everything was piping hot and freshly made. The deep-friend grilled cheese sandwich was crispy on the outside and cheesey on the inside, so much so that it oozed out quite a bit. Really tasty, I really liked it. The chicken was juicy in the middle, outside was crispy and spicy (I got Hot Rod, level 4 out of 6 where 0 is no spice). A bit pricey at almost $18 post-tax, but it was a lot of food, two people can probably comfortably share this dish. Would recommend!

First time here for this local and I was pleasantly surprised! So happy to find a place for hot chicken that has full flavor and appropriate heat and also juicy chicken! Some other well known places chicken is like leather, but Pepperfire gets it done right! Friendly service and a great spot for to go food! Will definitely be back

Have loved Pepperfire since its start at the trailer in East Nashville. Great hot chicken with quality sides. Spiced just right. Especially like the potato salad. The fried green tomatoes are solid too.
