Hattie B's Hot Chicken - Nashville - Melrose - Chicken restaurant in Nashville - 2222 8th Ave S, USA

This is the first time we visit Nashville so we knew that this was an obligatory stop. It did not disappoint, it was very tasty and juicy. I appreciated that it was really juicy chicken and not overly fried and greasy. The potato salad and coleslaw were great too. We went around 4pm and barely had to make a line, so I’d recommend going at an off peak hour.

Must try for Tourists and Cheap Things To Try in Nashville: Exceptional hot chicken sandwich with different levels of spice to try. Comes with your choice of sauce. I ordered the Damn Hot Chicken Sandwich with blue cheese and comeback sauce. In my option, The Comeback sauce was better as it mellowed out the spice more). Mac and Cheese and Potato salad was excellent. Interior has a modern design, bathrooms were clean, and service was swift. Thanks Hattie B’s!

My daughter, her husband and I stopped in on the way to the airport. We didn’t medium heat - not super hot - but the more you eat, the hotter it becomes (as goes with any heat). The fries were amazing, love that they actually do an entire breast on the sandwich and love the coleslaw on the sandwiches. Great atmosphere, super busy but they serve quickly - a must go!

Great. Altthough I'm giving 4 stars because I feel the taste of the sauce is a little lacking. I would think, with all the reviews I would taste it and understand why it's so popular, and of course quality of meat and everything was amazing, but the flavors from the sauce just not fully there.

Hattie B’s is Great. They offer fast service + a lot of seating. This was a Tuesday night so it was not packed. The food was fresh but it is greasy. The lemonade was fresh as well. The fries were crispy. The bathrooms were clean. They offer clothing items as well. I will be back.

Simply the best and absolutely lives up to the hype. This wasn’t my first time here and certainly won’t be the last! Chicken is somehow plump & juicy, yet light & crispy and always perfectly golden. I love “The Sandwich”, mild with lots of comeback sauce and my husband goes for the “Jumbo Tenders” hot. Pimento Mac is creamy and delicious and the fries are always crispy! Make sure to get some sweet tea with a splash of lemonade! Staff is wonderful and friendly and the line moves much quicker than expected. Staff checks in to offer water and takes some drink orders! Hooray! Boozy lemonade makes any line move quicker, I think! We’ll be back next time we’re in Nashville!

Absolutely worth the hype. The chicken was amazing. Collard greens and peach cobbler were great, Mac and cheese not so. Warning: If you want to enjoy your meal (and I enjoy hot food!) do not go over medium. I watched someone sweating and eating the hot spice level clearly as a college dare clearly in pain! Very funny though to watch. It gets very very busy, so be prepared for a wait, however you will be rewarded for your wait. Car park spaces are limited onsite. Limited paid parking on the street.

I ate lunch at Hattie B's twice. The food is good. For those who love spicy food, Hattie is definitely worth checking out. I ate the hottest wings in the menu, "Shut the Cluck Up!!!" I believe, the hot pepper is Ghost Pepper. There was a line going out the door on both visits. However, the line went smoothly. As for the atmosphere, it is a good place to mingle--busy, noisy, and lively. The place reminds me a little bit of the 1960's.
