The French fries were hot, fresh, and a great complement to the sandwich. My wife ordered the daily special. Unfortunately, it wasn't quite as impressive. Most of the vegetables seemed like they came straight from a can and were simply heated up. The mashed potatoes were clearly instant rather than homemade. The lima beans were good but could have used a little more seasoning. On the positive side, the roast beef with gravy was a generous portion and tasted very good. Our server is there every time we visit. She's always friendly, attentive, and makes us feel welcome, which keeps us coming back. Even with a few shortcomings, we enjoy stopping here whenever we're in Gallatin and will definitely return. That said, the facility is beginning to show its age.

If you'd told me I'd be writing a glowing review about a chicken sandwich, I would've laughed, rolled my eyes, and ordered a burger just to spite you. You see, I'm not really a "chicken" person. To me, chicken has always been that safe but boring choice, like wearing khakis to a party. Functional, sure. Exciting? Not a chance. But then, Foul Play Hot Chicken in Gallatin, Tennessee, came into my life, and let me tell you, my world was rocked. This wasn't just a chicken sandwich--it was a masterpiece, a life-changing experience, a borderline spiritual awakening. Let's start with the first bite. You know how in the movies, when someone tastes something amazing, the world slows down and music starts playing? That's what happened. I swear, I heard angels sing. The chicken was crispy but not greasy, with a golden, crunchy exterior that could have its own Instagram account. Beneath that glorious crust was the juiciest, most tender chicken I've ever tasted. It wasn't just cooked--it was crafted. And the spice level? Oh, they know what they're doing. Foul Play lets you choose your heat, and I went for the middle ground because I'm not trying to die, but I still want to feel alive. The flavor hit me first--a perfect blend of smoky, savory, and just a whisper of sweetness--and then the heat snuck in like a ninja, leaving me reaching for my drink but in the best way possible. It's the kind of heat that makes you sweat a little but keeps you coming back for more. Now, let's talk toppings. This sandwich came fully dressed, but not in an overwhelming "What am I even eating?" way. The slaw was tangy and fresh, a perfect counterbalance to the spice. The pickles were snappy and bright, cutting through the richness like a refreshing little exclamation point. And the bun? Oh, the bun. Soft, buttery, and toasted just right--it held everything together without overshadowing the main event. Here's the kicker: I don't even like chicken that much. I'm the person who politely picks at chicken wings at parties and pretends to enjoy it. But this? I devoured this sandwich like it was my last meal on Earth. I didn't just eat it; I inhaled it. I considered ordering another one on the spot, but I didn't want the staff to think I was unhinged (even though I totally am when it comes to this sandwich). Foul Play Hot Chicken has done the impossible. They've turned a chicken skeptic into a full-blown believer. If this sandwich were a cult, I'd sign up. If this sandwich ran for office, it'd have my vote. Honestly, I might move to Gallatin just to be closer to this sandwich. So, if you're anywhere near Gallatin, do yourself a favor: run, don't walk, to Foul Play Hot Chicken. Order the sandwich. Savor it. And then join me in wondering how you ever lived without it. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a standing ovation. Bravo, Foul Play. Bravo. read more

My Aunt and two daughters had Fowl Play for the first time today for lunch and it did not disappoint! The hot fish and chicken were both excellent! The little girls had burgers and they couldn't have been better! All of the sides were top notch as well (mac, fries, coleslaw, okra, and potato salad)! We were really wanting some turnip greens, but they weren't quite ready yet when we arrived. Bummer! We sat down to eat our lunch and enjoyed every bit of it! About halfway through, the nice young lady who took our order brought us out some samples of their sweet potatoes (which were killer) and a side of the freshly prepared turnip greens (they were amazing and homemade)! That was super nice of them to do and it's little things like that which really make your experiences special! We got some wings and more turnip greens to go! We will definitely visit this place many times in the future! Thanks for a great lunch to all of the staff at Fowl Play! read more

BBQ is subjective, but this location is hands down our favorite spot for wings. Smoky, spicy, flavorful. The ribs are good, and they have several different sauces you can try. On their recommendation, we leave it in the bag til we get home. They are always tender and moist. But, I think the thing that makes this location special is the people. The very first time we came through, the sweet woman working the drive through made us feel like she was happy to see us, and grateful for our business. The one time we came and they were out wings, she said call ahead and they'll hold some for us. So tonight, I called ahead and got myself a tray with my name on it, and we were welcomed like family. The dining area is tiny inside and parking is tight. But drive through is easy easy. Please give them a try, and tell em Char said hi!
