Me and my friend visit there Saturday. Fries was cold and salad was horrible. Imitation cheese not enough salad mix and tenders was cold.

Now this is real hot chicken. It's moist and seasoned throughout with flavorful heat. Not too greasy, not too drenched in sauce—just right. As it should be; the Princes invented Nashville hot chicken! And they don't temper their spice level like some other places in the area, so keep that in mind when ordering. Medium was just right for me. I also really enjoyed their collard greens, complete with a nice corn Muffin to soak up all the juices.
Prince's is the OG and it shows!

What witchery is this?!! A well traveled friend highly recommended this spot so I came into it with high expectations. My wife and I ordered the jumbo tenders. She ordered hers mild and I, medium. On first bite, I thought I was going to be disappointed, but give it a second. The flavor started flooding in, but not in an overwhelming way. It came in in swells, the taste accentuated by other flavors on the plate. The tenders were garnished by slices of sweet hot pickles. Our sides were greens, baked beans, fries and corn bread. Bite of chicken then beans—slammin. Chicken then fries—yum. Chicken then pickles—wonderful. Chicken then cornbread—sweet. Everything on that plate was perfect.
It probably helps that everything is made to order. After ordering, I stood for 20+ minutes waiting for my food and it was worth every second! Every. Second.
Look, I've had the fortunate of enjoying some great food, but this contends for the best meal I've had this year! Not an overreach—facts.
Did I mention the wings? I couldn't decide so I ordered the tenders and the wings (I know, big back behavior 😅), thinking these were going to be your run of the mill wing-joint wings. No sir. These wings are the wings of those chicken's mother—full grown chicken wings. And perfectly cooked.
Every piece of chicken was thoroughly cooked, yet with the perfect tenderness. My wife doesn't like bone in chicken for this very reason—fear of being undercooked, but as I said, every piece was perfectly cooked and she tore one of my wings up! 🤣
My only disappointment was I didn't get one of their desserts. While standing in line, they were occasionally putting other pies in the dessert case. Are they back they're making these too?!! However, the cornbread was a dessert itself.
I had to repent after that meal because I definitely veered into gluttony. I ate well past the fill line.
The food was so good, I got the t-shirt!

Came here for some hot chicken. The hot chicken options are the same as other restaurants. However, the flavor did not meet the expectation compared to other places we eat in Nashville. Staff is very friendly and accommodating and food came out quick. The chicken was made to your spice intensity, but the flavor was just not the same as other places. Overall, not bad, but not if you wanted flavorful and juicy chicken.

This was the recommended spot from several locals, but I agree with other reviewers that the chicken was dry despite being crispy and well seasoned. Not bad by any means, but if I'm being honest, I've had better hot chicken in other cities. I was told not to go above mild, but I'd probably go for medium next time.
Amazing Nashville Hot Chicken! I got the mild and it was still 🔥 -highly recommend it with slaw and pickles.

Fresh, flavorful wings. Greens were amazing. The corn muffin was perfect. The pickles were so good. The mac n cheese was blah. Glad I visited this place while in Nashville. Definitely a highlight of the city.

This location is inside of a food hall! Even though it was a busy day, the food came out hot and delicious! It was my first time in Nashville and the chicken sandwich here is a great welcome!! The side dishes (potato salad, Mac and cheese, and greens) were hot and well made! When i visit Nashville again, I’ll stop here first!!

Service was terrible. Food was mediocre. I wish on my last night in Nashville, I would have went to Canes. It had way better service and food .

Do I really need to tell you that you have got to try this chicken…it’s spicy hot and delicious! The long line tells you that you better give this a try. The sides are like what you’d get with Carolina bbq, cole slaw, bbq beans, mac n cheese, and they are good!

Nope. The young man taking orders today at lunch did not ask what sauces I wanted with my chicken fingers. When I went back and asked for sauces, I got an eye roll. He definitely let me know he was annoyed with me. He said I THOUGHT I asked you what sauces you wanted. He did not. I was charged for them. Sauces should be included in the price and offered without attitude.
Side choices were limited as were sauce choices. I won’t be back.

First timer.. didn’t know much about the food here. Customer service was a little rude and needs some work.. placing order my girlfriend didn’t realize she had to pick a normal, hot, super hot chicken and he was just rude about it.. could have guided her through and been a little more professional about it. Watch out for this guy
Chicken was dry
Mac and cheese watery

Lives up to the reputation. I had the chicken sandwich and they give you a lot on it. The spicy factor is real—be warned. I got something in the middle of the hotness scale (hot) and there wasn’t enough water to put out the fire in my mouth. Gets busy but the line moves and seems less touristy than other places. Being walkable from the Broadway strip with plenty of seating available makes this a must go-to.
