McDougal’s Chicken

Gotta get chicken when in Nashville! McDougal's is a local favorite- chicken can be grilled or fried! Lots of dips available as well so take your pick!My fried chicken sandwich on Tennessee toast was perfect esp loved the pickles and fries in my meal. Don't forget the sweet tea as well!Service was friendly & good and restaurant was clean - loved the patio with red umbrellas as well!

Last time I went to McDougals was at their OG location years ago. This location makes it just as good as I remember. Gold sauce is still 100% my fav dipping sauce, and the chicken tenders are as juicy and crispy as always. I love that there's an outdoor seating area in addition to the spacious indoor seats. Food came out fast and fresh.

At the time of this writing, the original McDougal's on Belcourt was recovering from fire damage, the Brentwood McDougal's was still under construction, and the other stores that once extended deep into Williamson County were long closed. So this was the only extant member of the franchise at which I could get my fix of those incredible McDougal's chicken tenders! And it was not disappointing in the least!There is something this Nashville icon does perfectly that nobody else can replicate. It's the batter! Super crispy, but thin and crumbly, you'll watch flakes of beautiful batter drop onto your plate as you sink your teeth into the most tender, juicy chicken you could ever imagine. These are unequivocally the best chicken fingers in the Nashville metropolitan area!The fries are fresh cut daily and delicious, although a little soggy. The multitude of sauces are always freshly made. This is the only location that does not offer free ice cream, but that's okay. The patio they're currently renovating is going to beat all ground-level outdoor spaces in the city!

Cool venue, although a bit pricey. Just stopped by try it so I didn't order a lot. Only a chicken sandwich which consisted of two chicken tenders, lettuce and pickles. Total cost after tax was $9.82. Served on Texas Toast and i noticed they were generous with the pickles, which were also thick. I don't think any extra charge for a side of ranch, or if there was it wasn't mentioned. Overall it was good if you're looking to try a new chicken place, just a bit steep on the pricing. If it was a few dollars less I could see myself visiting all the time. Nice outdoor area, too.

Vibe was fun. A good place to get a few beers with the boys. Chicken was good but felt pricey. With that consideration not sure I could recommend over nearby chicken places. Service was a non factor as you go up to the counter to order/pay.

Standard fare southern fried chicken chain near the Gulch. We came here immediately after landing in Nashville for a late lunch and sat in the back patio. It was pretty busy even at 2 pm, but the serving time wasn't bad considering the number of people waiting in line.I got the fried chicken sandwich, which came on two slices of toast. It was pretty solid, but nothing worth writing home about. Other people got fried chicken baskets with fries or salad and Texas toast.

McDougal's Chicken is consistently the most delicious, juicy and mouth-watering fried chicken in Nashville. I went frequently when I was at Vanderbilt 5-6 years ago and it is still the best chicken in town, in my humble opinion. Hattie B's just has the tourist hype. The fried basket is a staple and I would recommend getting a number of different sauces as they all go well with the chicken and fries.The outside seating area is very spacious with picnic tables and buckets of paper towels to use as napkins. They have a small stage for live singing, however I wasn't there when it was in use. To the business owners - If it makes sense, it would be great to be able to request packets of sanitary hand wipes at the counter for those messy eaters (guilty)

The best chicken and fries place that always gets the job done! What makes this fried chicken so great and special is that they fry it not once, but twice! This is what makes it so crispy every time! I usually go with a small plate since that is enough food for one. I always get the tenders fried and with sauces on the side. My favorite sauces are Gold and their BBQ. Their fries are nice and fresh, and they are perfect dipped in some ketchup or one of their other sauces. There is nothing here that you have to worry about if you have a peanut allergy, and they offer their tenders grilled if you are gluten free.This restaurant will take longer than a normal fast food restaurant because they fry everything to order, so your chicken and fries are fresh and piping hot when they come to your table. I ordered here recently to go and it was fantastic as always. You can never get enough McDougals!

had the chicken finger sandwich basket with gold and honeybee sauce and it was to die for! great service, 10/10 recommend!

The food is good here but it is insanely over priced for fried chicken. Service is fine, nothing special. Ambiance could be better if the all the TVs worked.
