Hattie B's Hot Chicken

Visited here based on friends' recommendations. I was told that the wait at the Franklin location wouldn't be as long as the downtown area. Thank goodness!!Absolutely loved my 3 tenders selection. I was a wimp and picked mild, only because I was driving early the next morning and didn't want any upset bodily functions lol!The staff were great! Folks would stop by our table to check in if we needed anything after our food arrived. Happy to return for visit when back in the area!!Great job!!

We came in and ordered quickly. Had to wait quite a while for an open table. Once we got seated, we were freezing. The door for "pick up" kept being held open by people coming in, leaving, and for pickup. We changed our order to be Togo. Not to mention, the music was too loud, causing people to have to talk over it. So, after waiting 30 minutes for our food, we were just told that they are out of the chicken we ordered. So, they offered us a dessert and refund. Apologized. But we were upset and just asked for a refund. We arrived at 5:44, and now leaving hungry at 6:24. Absolutely a disaster. How does a chicken place run out of chicken at 5:45 on a Sunday evening?

Locals will argue, but in my book, and it's an opinion widely shared, Hattie B's IS Nashville Hot Chicken. New to town? Just visiting? Curious about the local specialty of hot chicken? Head yourself on over to Hattie B's, Start with the hot, it's the classic Nashville heat. You can move down to wimpier versions if it's too much for you, and you can bump up a couple more levels of heat, if you're into playing "quien es mas macho" with your home boys. But the hot is classic. Nice burn, but not so much you need to start tapping the brakes. Personally, I prefer the tenders, which are easy eating, and have a nice crust to meat ratio. The wings are also an excellent choice, they're much bigger than your usual wing. But the type of chicken is entirely a personal choice. Don't short yourself on the sides. The southern greens is classic. The baked beans are some of the best stuff you've ever put on your spoon. The mac & cheese won't disappoint, if you're looking for traditional mac & cheese. But here's the most important thing to remember. Order more than you can eat. Because the leftover Hattie B's chicken, cold, straight out of the fridge, is stunningly fabulous. I just ate the last I had in the fridge, and it's making me sad. Guess I'll have to head back to Hattie B's!

A 4.5 would most accurately sum up my Hattie's experience but since there is no such matrix... a 5 it is. With a recommendation from both the Lyft driver and the hotel manager, I wanted a good feel for some Tennessee hot chicken and Hattie's represented very well.I love that you get a choice between either all white or all dark meat. I went with the dark meat. For only five dollars more you could double your order size, bargain.Besides the meal you get a choice of two sides. There are probably 10 different side choices to choose from, and I went with the coleslaw and. Black Eyed Peas salad. The Black Eyed Peas salad was probably the low point in the meal. I would rate this about a three.You also have choices of how "hot" you want your chicken to be. I started out medium. It was spicy, kinda hot, but not off the charts.The portion of chicken is good and every bite was wonderful.I really love the coleslaw. A tad on the sweeter side, which is how I like it.Finished off the meal with sweet tea. Not too sweet, not to "not sweet".

Do I recommend? Of course! We go here all the time. It's great to have a Hattie B's location in the Factory. (part of many new upgrades). Parking is sometimes an issue (only because things are always happening at the Factory now) but you can also park and walk through the Factory. Amongst hot chicken places, Hattie B's stands out for their great chicken (duh) but it's got great flavor not just heat. I tried the grilled chicken on the last trip and it was surprisingly really really good. Another huge plus is the sides at Hattie B's. They have a good variety and they are TASTY! I normally bring a leftover box home to enjoy the next day too. Plenty of seating and just a great spot to enjoy a meal. They also provide great takeout service!

Another visit, but for dinner! We were craving some hot chicken on a cold snowy day & all the fixin's - we love Hattie B's sides as much as their tender flavorful chicken! I literally crave the potato salad, it's one of the best I have ever had. Service was friendly & quick, ambiance is an epic modern take on a 50s dinner (sports available on TV) as it's a brand new build out at The Factory!

First time trying Hattie B's and they definitely didn't disappoint! I know they're hyped up as one of the best chicken joints in TN so I've been wanting to try them out.My husband and I weren't too hungry when we visited though so we decided to share the dirty bird fries. Highly recommend! It was a good amount for two adults. We both loved the fries with all the toppings it came with. Top notch as far as loaded fries go!Service was quick and the interior was kept very clean. We came on a Friday afternoon and it was packed! But surprisingly the wait wasn't too long for us to get our food.I will definitely be back to try more of their options! Their chicken sandwich and the desserts sound delightful!

Breakfast was delicious! We got the ultimate sandwich with an egg, cheese and bacon biscuit. They were great. I definitely recommend the honey butter sauce on the egg, cheese and bacon biscuit, very tasty and a perfect compliment. We also got tots with beer cheese and a side of waffles. The tots with beer cheese were the perfect side for the breakfast sandwiches but the waffles were dense and not fluffy. I'd pass on the waffles next time. To drink we got coffee and a pain killer. Both were great. Not many people visiting on a Sunday around 10am. We found a table easily and had a very relaxed breakfast. The service was quick and they fixed a mistake with our order without a hassle. Great place for breakfast!

First time in Nashville and both my husband and I loved Hattie B's! While we've had our fair share of amazing fried chicken over the years, we were actually surprised at just how juicy and flavorful the chicken here was for a chain restaurant.Spicy lovers rejoice! I personally don't have a strong heat tolerance and found the medium level just the right level before it got too spicy, while the mild was the most enjoyable if I wanted to eat more. I can't imagine how hot the "Enthusiasts only" levels are.All of the food options are great, but the fried chicken sandwich would probably be my go-to. For sides, we unanimously loved the grits the most. The banana pudding was also a nice way to wrap up the meal, and it was loaded with bananas and topped with nilla wafers.The staff was friendly, and the location at the Factory at Franklin is nice - if we're back in the area, we'd happily make a stop here again.

I saw the line on Broadway for Hattie B's so really wanted to try it when we went to Franklin. I think there is probably more hype around this place then there should be. The chicken was good. I got the mild because I have been scared from some very spicy Nashville hots. But I do wish I would have went with at least a medium for some spice. But the chicken sandwich was good. The fries were just okay. The special sauce was like a less flavorful chic fil a sauce. I would probably come here again, however wouldn't wait in those long lines that you see everywhere for it.
