About Red's Hot Chicken

Red's Hot Chicken, located near Vanderbilt campus, is a gem serving the best Nashville hot chicken in town. Made to order food like the hot chicken plate with pimento mac and cheese and seasoned fries is a killer meal but worth the wait. The adjacent Springwater bar, one of Nashville’s oldest bars which dates back to the Prohibition era, adds to the experience. With great fried chicken, free pool, and a welcoming atmosphere, Red's Hot Chicken is a must-visit spot for delicious food in Nashville. The chicken tenders and the crunch wrap are absolutely incredible. The hot level is super hot so watch out. It is a little shack with no real seating, just a walk-up window. They tell you upfront how long it’ll take. Grab a casual beer next door or hang out while you wait. The owner is really down to earth and friendly. It is the definition of unassuming: simple setup, no frills, just amazing food. Totally worth the stop.

Amazing food, crew was friendly. Kinda wish I lived in Nashville so I could eat here more often.

Absolutely wonderful and authentic. Definitely not a tourist trap. 🐓 🍗 🐔

My two boys and I punched in the address to Red’s Hot Chicken in my GPS just before we left on our road trip to Las Vegas. 1117 miles later and it was worth every mile! Best chicken sandwich so far! Better than anything I had so far back home! I Met the owner and he’s a stand up guy, wicked friendly, super pumped we made his spot our first stop! Definitely recommend 100%. The pimento mac and cheese was great as expected. Everything was great! Five stars
