Flamie’s Hot Chicken Factory

Let me start by saying I've never walked out on fast food.....until now. We arrived when the restaurant was supposed to open, right behind the openers. We waited 5 min to allow them time to set up. Went in and ordered. Then waited and waited and waited. Finally, we gave up. The restaurant itself was dirty and ultimately the decision to leave was probably for the best.

Another Hot Chicken Place to Try !When in Nashville I always do my best to try out a new hot chicken place during my visit. On this recent trip, I decided to give Flamies The Hot Chicken Factory a try and I must say I was not disappointed. Flamies has been around for a few years and now has multiple locations in and around the Nashville area. Flamies serves Hot chicken in many combos or a la carte choices as well as fish and seafood, sandwiches, salads and sides. If you love chicken or seafood then you will find something you like. On this visit, I kept things simple and to try out a general dish I ordered the Breast Combo with fries and a drink. The chicken I ordered was mild as I had a two-hour drive ahead of me and didn't want burning in my stomach during the drive. The chicken took about 20 minutes to make so manage your expectations as they make everything from scratch at Flamies. My chicken came out perfectly cooked, and crispy with just enough heat as I wanted. The coatings and the spices were great and the meat on the breast was white, tender, juicy and very flavourful. Overall, the experience was great, the food was what I was looking for and reasonably priced.

Confusing (and hard to read) menu. I think I asked for two things only to be told they weren't available or possible before I finally ordered a combo. Soft drinks were half out of service. I wanted to order a lot of things to try, but apparently, that isn't allowed. The chicken was good, but not what I'd call hot chicken. Service was really slow. There was a (seemingly) homeless person with an office setup in the dining room. They had a phone, were on it constantly, and seemed to have many belongings. It didn't seem to bother the employee(s) who were working there, though. I chose this place for it's location and my hunger level. In the end, I should have driven farther for better hot chicken.

I try to hit all Nash Hot Chicken spots and am going to start reviewing them one by one. Made it out to Flamie's today to see what they had cooking. Here is my review:Chicken Quality: 7/10Actually pretty impressed with the freshness and texture of the chicken. I wouldn't say the chicken itself was the best quality I've ever had, but it was prepared well and the breading had a great crispy texture. The chef did well with the chicken quality they used which turned a likely frozen cut into something really decent. Flavor/heat: 6/10Overall decent. I got the "Flamie's hot" and it had heat and the classic hot chicken flavor was there but really nothing to write home about. I'd say the heat level I got was equivalent to a wild-medium at comparable chicken shops like Prince's, Slow Burn, or 400 Degrees so don't be scared off by the term "hot" in this case. Ranch: 2/10I'm not sure if it was a house made ranch (I hope not) or typical mass produced stuff that they put in little containers, but I wouldn't get it again. The ranch wasn't seasoned enough, had very very light flavor and was watered down and kinda glossy. It dripped off the tender when I dipped instead of sticking to the hot and crispy breading. Something was just off in its texture and there was really no flavor to speak of. Maybe it's just a preference, but I like a rich and creamy ranch that you can smell once you open the container.Service: Unimportant. You can slap me in the mouth and insult my mother and I'll leave 5 stars if the chicken is on point. Overall a pretty standard experience. Not great, not terrible. Would give 3.5 stars if I could, but certainly wouldn't go up to 4 stars. Next time I'll get bone-in edit my review accordingly if necessary.

Food was fresh and good. Great portions. Decor could use some help and music on the TV made me feel like I was in a 1960's western tv show. Don't think violin is the correct choice for a restaurant.

Food was super good and well prepared. It did take a while to cook and prepare. It did come out fresh and had a lot of flavor! The environment was nice and the employee did a pretty good job at taking our order and helping us out! The bathroom was pretty dirty and lacked toilet paper. Overall the food WAS GOOD! That's really all that matters!

Last minute lunch for work. Enjoyed the wings! Ordered for delivery. Well packaged. Good spice!!

We wanted to try some Hot chicken and came across this place for lunch while in Nashville. We walked in and placed our order. We decided on 20 party wings and some fries. We ordered three different sauces to try. Our favorite one was the sweet heat. Second favorite was the Nashville hot chicken and third was Flamies mild. The wings were on the small side. Since they were so small they were so crunchy and a bit over cooked and dry. Not very juicy. There were more drumsticks then wings. The fries were big fat crinkle kind. Came out very soggy and soft. Not crisp at all. There seemed to be a steady flow of people coming in. We were the only ones eating inside. Very casual place.

It's fine. As long as you're not expecting real NHC, it's fine. (They also don't claim to be real NHC). My half chicken "nashville hot" had no heat, but was very sweet in whatever sauce they dunked it in. The crinkle fries were pretty good.
