Hattie B's Hot Chicken Nashville Melrose

Simply AMAZING!!!!Sara was so nice and explained the menu to me. This place is the real deal.Dog friendly place! We had the spicy chicken sandwich and the chicken tenders?Don’t go home without trying the famous banana pudding!!!Food: 5/5

There is always a wait but it’s always worth it! The staff is extremely kind and friendly despite the busyness. You must order the chicken, always. Their chicken is consistently cooked and seasoned perfectly every time. There’s really no wrong way of ordering here, except if you don’t order their chicken.Food: 5/5

As a tourist from out of state, this was the main place we were suggested to try for Nashville hot chicken. I was expecting something a little bit different but overall the food was still good. This chicken is less crispy, with a more powdery dry rub, which I probably would have liked more on a sandwich than for tenders. Also, the grits were delicious!Parking: Doesn't feel like there are near enough spaces in the parking lot behind the building for the size of the restaurant. We had to park a few streets down and walk, since the neighborhood streets nearby required permits for street parking.

I had heard about Nashville's hot chicken, so I wanted to try it before leaving. Hattie B's did not disappoint! I don't eat really spicy food, so I got Medium heat. The food was really good. You have to try the Comeback Sauce. I'll definitely make another visit there whenever I'm back in Nashville!Food: 5/5

Love the authentic Nashville establishment. Service is quick and they bring the food out to you fast given how busy they can get. Plenty of seating and tv 's to watch sports. Lots of outdoor seating as well with much of it covered. A great spot to hop into if you 're crawling around the area. Food is just a little too hyped probably. I 'm from Houston and I have 2 go-to hot chicken joints that I would eat before this if I 'm being honest. The chicken is high quality, juicy, and big. Spice levels are fair; The Shut the Cluck Up is just punishing enough. Sandwich isn 't quite there though, the individual ingredients don 't really shine through and the sum isn 't really more than the parts. Also the banana pudding was of a texture I 've never had before, still finished the whole thing. Not sure if a slightly textured pudding is an Nashville thing.
