This was my first meal during our visit to Nashville... we picked it simply because it was within walking distance of our VRBO and it appeared to be solidly in the "Nashville Hot Chicken" genre, so we obviously had to give it a try! It turned out to be a solid choice! The mile+ walk (one way) allowed us to toss caution to the wind and "go for it" - drowning our meals in cheesy-bacon-y goodness. Purely for research purposes, of course - we wanted to get the full experience. I ordered some sort of cheesy bacon chicken nugget dish (don't remember what they called it) and my friend ordered chicken tenders with a side of cheesy bacon fries that we planned to share. We kicked the heat up a couple of notches but didn't go too crazy because this was our first visit and didn't know what to expect for heat. Everything was great! Great flavor... good spice... nice and crispy on the outside; juicy and tender on the inside. Definitely a good start to our Nashville visit. I'm a little bummed we didn't make it back before we had to leave... there were just too many different places we wanted to experience. Maybe next trip - and this was definitely a place I wouldn't have minded visiting more than once.
I visited BJ Hot chicken for lunch on a weekday. I was looking for a Hot Chicken spot without a long line but great HOT chicken. This place fit the bill. BJ Hot Chicken is in a small strip center a little ways out of town away from all of the touristy spots. I was able to easily park, walk in and order with no line at lunch time. I ordered the #1, three chicken tenders with one side. I got a side of fries. They asked how hot and I said "hot". The chicken came out hot but I can handle some spice. My mouth was burning for a good hour but in a good way! The fries needed to cook a bit more so I didn't really eat those. I love a good fry but hate a soggy undercooked one. I enjoyed the experience, the chicken and the service. Not the fries. BJ's is super clean, the staff was constantly cleaning the tables and floors!
I ordered my meal through DoorDash so my comments will be limited to the food's taste, appearance and ease of eating. I heard the buzz about Tennessee hot chicken and hot catfish. Up until this experience, I have never tasted fried catfish. Bucket list item now checked. BJ Hot Chicken does not do small portions of catfish for their sandwich. There is plenty of fixings and sauces to enhance the flavor. The crunch on then exterior with a nice flaky interior was a delight. The only complaint I had was they put everything on top of the bread, so when I attempted to make a sandwich out of it, the bread just fell apart so I had to eat everything individually. I would order it again though because I love it. The hot chicken sandwich was not what I expected. I expected a single piece of fried boneless chicken smothered in the sauce, but instead the batter they use has the heat in it and I got two smaller pieces. This may be their intention, but it caught me off guard. The flavor was good. These guys know how to fry foods. The potato salad was tasty, but lacked seasoning. I believe they make their pickles in house, and if so, bravo to the quality and flavor they had. I would order from BJ Hot Chicken again if I find myself in Nashville.
The ambiance was very cozy and welcoming. The atmosphere matched the southern hospitality I received even though I only went in for a pickup order. The food was amazing and still fresh after the drive back to the hotel. I got the mild tenders and they are good for spice beginners! The lemon pepper wings didn't disappoint either!
food was amazing! the service was good and the ambiance was cool too. would go again and invite friends!
Cashier was very helpful as this was our first time in Tennessee and were starving after long flight. My son got the mild tenders with Mac and cheese and loved the subtle heat on the chicken, and surprisingly the cheesiness of the m&c. I went with the second spiciest tenders (capsaicin) and it was right at the right spice for me. Slow building and intense heat with lightly battered and tender meat, nothing else you can ask for. The coleslaw perfectly complimented the spicy chicken. Would definitely come back when in the area.
I'm torn between a one and two star for this place!!! Googled Nashville hot chicken and maps took us to 300 Degrees at the airport (it was a safety facility). Then I navigated the BF and I to Puckett's but it was at the airport lol. We wound up at BJ's. I ordered a salad with medium hot chicken and he ordered a hot chicken sammy. My salad had great greens and veggies but the chicken was awful and the dressing was a packet of Hidden Valley Ranch (yuck)! The chicken tenders seasoning was peppery and not really hot. The bf's sammy was just ok. Unsweet tea (and sweet tea) were out of a machine, which makes me wonder if anything is actually made here!!! Two stars cuz the staff (except for the rude cashier) were nice and the veggies on the salad were fresh and green :))
Went to support a locally owned business food was hot and fresh. The service was friendly and the ambiance was clean. We were the only ones there then it got busy,
Ah BJ. How I've missed you. I've been coming to BJ Hot Chicken since they opened. I was fortunate enough I work just a few miles down the road; so I would take almost weekly excursions down to get my hot chicken fix. But now I work from him exclusively until further motice, so I rarely get to visit anymore. One of my favorite things to eat is fried chicken and well... Since I live in Nashville, the conversion from fried chicken to hot chicken is a no brainer. Since I moved to Tennessee, I've been to all the popular hot chicken joints. Prince's, Bolton's, Hattie B's, Party Fowl, etc. Many have come and gone but the formula is simple. Make good fried chicken as your base and you can turn any fried chicken into hot chicken. BJ is as good as it gets. Fresh fried chicken that's cooked to order. It's got great flavor, the skin is crispy, and the meat is juicy. My *only* complaint is the heat levels are inconsistent. I love spicy food but for whatever reason in my older age, spicy food doesn't agree with me as much as it used to. So if I have nothing planned the next day, I'll order a spicier level. Sometimes mild is a little hot. Sometimes hot is a little mild. It might be my taste buds or maybe they screwed up in the kitchen... I don't know for sure. Regardless it's good. Of the sides, the best one in my opinion is the collard greens (which may not be everyone's cup of tea) but it's some of the best I've had. It's strangely savory, which makes me wonder if it's truly vegetarian or if it has some kind of meat/broth in it. I swap between the mac 'n cheese and fries sometimes, but usually get another side of collard greens because I'm already eating something fried, so I know another fried side is not good for me. If you are craving hot chicken and you don't want to wait in a line or pay exorbitant prices, give BJ a try. You won't be disappointed.
Just driving through Nashville and wanted to get some Nashville Hot Chicken. BJ Hot Chicken is right off the freeway and was easy to find. I would say some of the best chicken strips I have ever had and my side of greens were tasty. I got the medium level spice level which was perfect for me. There are several tables inside, but they also have a nice little outside area for outdoor dining.
Really good food. Easy access from the airport and the highway. Not particularly fast or friendly service.
Kind of on the fence about recommending this place... the people were really nice and service was fast but I've had better spicy or Nashville Hot chicken sandwiches... I enjoy home style Mac n cheese and asked before ordering if it was velveeta or real cheese. The lady said kind of in the middle... again she was nice about it but it's velveeta... probably should have gone with the fries... drinks are self serve so nice to make my own Arnold Palmer :-)
This place was so cool guys they had their own merch you can get Popsicles or so many flavors. There was outdoor seating and indoor seating. They do have parking since it is a plaza with other businesses. My chicken wings were so crispy but juicy the flavor had a kick to it I decided to add garlic parmesan as my flavor as well such a great mix with the Nashville hot. The mac and cheese was so creamy and cheesy. The tenders was pack with heat and very delicious pair very well with the collard greens to cool down the heat and the potato salad. Me and hubby really enjoy this meal and it was our first meal when we got to Nashville and it was only 10 minutes from my Airbnb which was awesome. I was a little sad when I realized I won't ever get this chicken again in North Carolina..... Unless somebody know something similar in North Carolina please let me know lol thank you so much for an awesome first meal to start my Nashville/birthday trip! read more
Very good chicken! Awesome flavor. Cooked perfectly! Spice is just right! The guy at the counter was really helpful when trying to decide what to order. He made great suggestions on spice levels and how "well" they cook their wings. I went with three whole wings, sauced medium, cooked well done. Food arrives and I am a happy boy! The wings are perfect and the beans are good!! Win. Win. While I was sitting inside I started to see a pretty hefty vagrant situation outside. I didn't notice it at first when I pulled up, but by the time I left there were 6-8 homeless looking folk in the parking lot. One guy came in and asked to use the bathroom. They let him, I was there another 20 mins or so and he never came out. Hmmm Bottom line. Chicken is good. I would come here again no matter the area. I love fried chicken!! 26' - 101 read more

Hot chicken is solid, chicken is juicy and breading is just right. "Hot" was the best for me. $9 for 2 tenders and fries plus Texas toast. Pretty fair prices, interior is clean good amount of tables. Not much parking, luckily we got here just before a group otherwise would have been tricky. read more

Today was my second time coming to BJ's. The first time was awesome. The food was hot and fresh. I decided to go back again today, and I was very disappointed. The fries were greasy and soggy, and the chicken was too, and the chicken had hairs still on it, plus It was definitely not made fresh to order. I probably will not be back, this was a huge turn off. read more
A great place for Nashville Hot Chicken! My dark meat was crispy and moist, I'm a baby and ordered the regular (no heat!). The Mac and cheese side was so rich and creamy! I'd come back for the food alone; but Wait A Minute: they have The Best Homemade Popsicles you ever ate! I tried the Nutella / Strawberries and it was amazing!!!! read more

Hot chicken is a staple in Nashville and in recent years it has garnered the attention of foodies worldwide due to channels like the Food Network. I stumbled across hot chicken about fifteen years ago and have been a bonafide hot chicken addict since. So I saw this place and chose it for lunch, mainly through the positive reviews. I was torn between here and Boom Burgers a few doors down, but hot chicken called my name (as I said, I have a serious addiction to hot chicken). The sad thing is is that this place is just not good. I have no other way to describe it. The chicken was overcooked, the tenders, when compared to other places, were small, even the water had a funny taste. The girl behind the counter was pleasant, so they one thing going for them. Even the guy who brought out my food unceremoniously thrown it in front of me, no "enjoy your meal", "here you go", anything. Oh, plus they could wipe down the tables at regular intervals. While not filthy, it definitely could have had a rag run across it. There are far better places for hot chicken in Nashville. My recommendation, anywhere but here. read more

I had BJ Hot Chicken ordered for delivery through the DoorDash App. They can and will deliver to hotels, woo hoo! For my meal, I had the medium hot chicken tenders (3) and a side of mac and cheese. Even though they were a medium, they still activated my sinuses! The only thing I didn't like was how shallow the container was that contained my mac and cheese. It was so good, I wish the little dish was just a bit deeper so I could keep eating . . . but I guess that's for the best. This was the "hottest" chicken I allowed myself, and I was very satisfied! I ate it in the comfort of my own home away from home. read more
Maybe I'm just not a hot chicken gal but I've tried Hattie Bs in ATL and BJ. BJ had more taste but it wasn't hardly spicy at all despite ordering it spicy. It was more of a mild salsa type of heat. The potato salad and the coleslaw were good. The chicken came piping hot which I loved. Overall a pretty good meal but hot chicken never wowed me in the way fried chicken has. Service was incredibly friendly and didn't take long. The in-house made Oreo popsicle was to die for though! read more

Everything was great. Loved the chicken. I got medium but next time will get hot. It wasn't quite as spicy as I expected but was still really good. The collards were delicious. The fries were delicious AND the fact that I didn't have to wait in a line 30 minutes makes this place a go to for Hot Chicken. read more

We were told to try the hot chicken in Nashville so we ordered hot chicken from this establishment and asked Door Dash to deliver. My husband was very happy. :) Food was hot and fresh and tasted great. We were able to place the order online and have it delivered to us quickly. The half chicken and the chicken wings were great. Definitely glad we were able to try "hot chicken" on our trip. read more

OK YUM! 12 hrs on the road heading from TX to VA. Stopped in Nashville to check out the Johnny Cash museum and wanted a fast bite to eat before continuing on our route. Didn't dig around more for a place, just stopped at the closest place with decent ratings, and it did not disappoint!!! Service was so fast and super friendly, and y'all! This fried chicken! So dang good! The fries were so good too! The hubby got the fried chicken sandwich and I got the 6 piece tenders and we devoured it all! We both got mild (I know, so lame of us) but hubby asked for the capsaicin sauce on the side and it was so good! A good heat but still great flavor! Definitely give this place a try!! read more
