Very good food atmosphere was very nice and low-key climate was very clean. The food was delicious. The staff was very pleasant.

Can never go wrong with this place. The ladies at the counter always make me smile and my chicken is always perfect. Been a fan since there was only one location in Nashville but the Bham location is just as good! read more

Very clean and convenient location. The staff were efficient and very helpful as well. I liked the fact they validated parking but there was also free street parking. They also had indoor and outdoor seating available. We ordered ahead online and it was very easy. We arrived earlier than our pickup time and were well accommodated by staff. The food was okay. I got the chicken sandwich with fries. I got medium heat but I didn't seem to have any heat flavor. The temperature of the sandwich was also not giving freshly cooked. The fries were nice and hot. All in all an alright experience. read more

Food first, thoughts after... It has been too long since I last had Hattie B's and it has not changed a bit. Still delicious. I was able to preorder an online order the day before. Picked up with no problem and ate it in the comfort of my home. When I got there 15 minutes after opening there was a good crowd. Spacious dining area. Indoor and outdoor seating. read more

I was craving some banana pudding, so I decided to come here on a Sunday afternoon. It was kind of busy and took some time for me to get my to- go order. The staff members all were working hard. They have some really cute Hattie B's merch! I didn't buy anything but saw some stuff I really liked. The banana pudding was ok. It hit the spot and satisfied my craving. read more

Our family's visit to Hattie B's in downtown Birmingham ended with a very disappointing parking experience. Our group of 12 arrived in four cars, including five family members visiting from out of town. Our food receipt shows 3:22 p.m., and the towing times listed included 3:24, 3:26, and 3:28 p.m. We paid $160 per vehicle to retrieve our cars--$640 total. The food looked great, but I can't fairly comment on the taste because I didn't eat. It's hard to enjoy a meal after watching your car being towed away or discovering it's no longer where you parked. We did see the parking signs, but we misunderstood and didn't realize the requirements also applied to Hattie B's customers. After this experience, we understand that even the advertised free first hour requires registering your vehicle through ParkMobile. We take responsibility for misunderstanding the signs. Still, a quick reminder from the cashier when we ordered would have been a helpful courtesy. If this is a newer parking arrangement, helping customers understand it would be especially appreciated. Sometimes a small effort in customer service goes a long way. Our food wait wasn't long, but our cars were being towed before we had even gotten our drinks and settled into our seats. What should have been an enjoyable family outing became an expensive and frustrating experience. Please consider additional ways to alert customers: a reminder at the register, QR codes at the tables, or someone outside explaining the parking requirements. A simple "Have you registered your vehicle for the free first hour?" could make a real difference. Taking care of customers includes helping them avoid an experience like this. read more

Five stars for Hattie B's in Birmingham--no shocker there, but wow did they win me over fast. This was our very first visit, and we were in town with brothers from the Prince Hall Lodge, gearing up to march in Selma for the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday and the fight for voters' rights. The brothers insisted we had to try Hattie B's... and honestly, I now understand their passion on a spiritual level. I'm a full-blown fan. The chicken was moist, packed with flavor, and downright soul-hugging. The place has a cute storefront, plenty of tables, and yes--it was crowded--but the team kept everything moving with ease. I even wandered through the merch... those chicken shirts almost talked me into taking one home. Bottom line: if I'm ever back in Birmingham--or anywhere a Hattie B's exists--you'll find me at the counter, happily placing my order. And seriously... when are you bringing one to Portland, OR? We're over here waiting like, "Hello? Sign us up!" read more

Hattie B's Hot Chicken - Birmingham - Dusty lamps add ambiance. - Sandwiches Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

First time trying Hattie's. The employee that took our order wasn't very friendly but also not exactly rude. I got their new salad. It was so fresh and delicious! The ranch is not the homemade "good" ranch (IYKYK), but still very enjoyable. I got the medium heat index. It was a bit hotter than I expected, but still within the range of heat I can consume. The seating in the restaurant isn't the most comfortable. You have the choice of metal chairs or wooden benches. There is also an outdoor covered patio. I'd definitely go back to try other menu options. read more

If you're anywhere near a Hattie B's, you have to stop by! Just a heads-up on the parking: it's a bit tricky, so read the signs carefully. There's a lot right next door that looks like paid parking, but if you use the app, the first hour is actually free! We missed that and parked a few blocks away, but the walk was worth it. The Medium and Mild heat levels were fantastic this time, though I'm definitely leveling up to 'Hot' on my next visit. I might even brave the Ghost Pepper one day--but I'll probably take that to-go so I can have a cold beer ready to put out the fire! read more

We had Hattie B's last night for dinner. I was just in the mood for some good chicken. I ordered the dirty bird fries. And they were so good! Could have been hotter (as in temp), but overall was really good. We got our food quickly, and enjoyed it. Service was very very quick and I was quite happy about that. The pimento cheese macaroni and cheese on top was great! And I loved it with some ranch! I will be ordering these fries again, and I might go up on the spice! Oh!- and they were very appeasing to the eye! read more

From the moment we walked in, the staff was exceptional. The menu was explained perfectly and I was impressed with the gentleman taking our order, he was so polite. Once we sat down, our order was brought to the table and looked delicious. We explained that this was our first visit and the gentleman came back twice to check on us. The chicken wings were huge and very juicy, mild with just enough kick. The cheese grits were delicious with the added bacon and the baked beans...let just say they were the best we have ever had. The Mac and cheese was great and the fries were seasoned perfectly and had the right amount of crunch. The restaurant was very clean and stocked well with to go containers. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Birmingham and will gladly make the hour trip for another delicious meal at Hatti B's!!! Oh and don't forget to try their new BBQ sauce! read more

I've been eating here since they opened. Most of the time I enjoy my food. They went through a period where the food was salty or they would mix up the sauces (instead of medium, they gave you hot), but recently that has improved. I love spicy/hot food and I love chicken tenders. But the stars here are the sides. The sides are actually really good. From the pimento Mac, to the black eye pea salad, every side here is delicious so you can't miss.. The service is good and if you eat inside, they will bring your food to your table. It's a nice place to eat after work or on date night. I will continue to eat here when I'm in the mood for a little spice in my life. This is one of my favorite chicken places and I'm happy that they are here in the city. read more

Family came here on a Sunday around 12 noon. There was quite a crowd and I was glad I ordered on the Hattie B's app 20 minutes before we arrived. We found a table and got our water, and in about five minutes we had our fresh meal in a to go paper bag. I got the hot grilled chicken on salad and it was so filling, I only ate half. My husband got the three tender strips with two side and he says the chicken was tender. My son ordered the medium grilled chicken sandwich which he says was juicy and plump. I did not realize they have a parking lot so we parked on the street a block away. I would definitely recommend this location! read more

A must-stop for anyone visiting from out of town! I got the Medium spice level this time, and it was the perfect amount of heat for me. I usually go for Mild, which is definitely more subtle and easier for those who don't eat spicy food. Definitely have to try the banana pudding. It's creamy, sweet, and the perfect way to cool down after the spicy chicken. I paired my chicken with the Nashville Comeback sauce and their ranch! Highly recommend. read more

After trying Hattie B's in Nashville, I can confirm that the quality at this location is on par with the original store. Their fried chicken is always bursting with flavor and tender. I had no issues getting street parking close to lunch time. The crinkle cut fries and pimento mac n cheese are probably my favorite sides to order. Service was wonderful as well with a good amount of spacious tables for a large group. Certainly a solid 5/5 read more

The Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich has crossed my path a number of times but I never took the opportunity. As chance would have it, The Man and I went to Birmingham where The Son chose Hattie B's. The place was big and dim, clean and oddly empty for a Saturday evening. At the counter, a big open smile greeted the three of us ready to take our order. While looking at all the classic offerings I was having trouble selecting anything fried but to my delight, they had a grilled version of the hot chicken sandwich. Extra pickles, cheese, and crinkle fries rounded out the sandwich well. I didn't realize there was sauce served with the sandwich. I didn't miss it but it was a part of the experience so I can't comment. The men had all sorts of delicious fried chicken pieces and sides. There was a classic hot chicken sandwich along with wings on the table. Service was great, covered patio was lovely, and the food was delicious. It won't be a regular but it will be a repeat. Have fun! read more

This was my first time at this location and from the time we walked in the door, we received A++ Service! Nick deserves a raise as I feel he went over and beyond! There is indoor and outdoor seating with a very chill vibe. Our food was served quickly. There was no lack of employees asking us how things were or taking our trash away. Let's talk about the food...WOW! It was delicious and the flavors danced in my mouth! Everything from the Wings plate with Bacon Cheddar Grits and Black-eyed Peas Salad to Wings- Hot, Greens, Waffles and Coleslaw! Oh and let's not forget the absolute BEST Banana Pudding and Peach Cobbler that I have had! We will definitely return. read more

Worst experience--don't eat here. I parked next door and was towed, costing me $400, because there was **NO NOTIFICATIONS ** (signage or any clear warning) telling customers not to park there. If the restaurant knows customers couldn't park in that lot, they need to communicate it. Kayla the manager on duty was just as useless and rude. Basic customer notice should be standard. This is unacceptable. Stay away. read more

We went here for fried chicken and this place definitely hit the spot. Their chicken tastes fresh, crispy and tender. Their season fries are good too. There is one female staff who was so sweet, especially to my child. The food was fast to come to the table after ordering at the ordering line. We would definitely come back here when we are in town. read more

great food and atmosphere. we got tenders, mac& cheese, & waffles. everything was delicious and fresh. our server was nice.

Excited to see they had a Hattie B's in Alabama. This restaurant has a paid public parking lot adjacent or if you park about a half block away there is free street parking. It was not too busy for a Saturday night. We were able to order at the counter right away. They give you a table number to place on your table for the food to be delivered to. There seemed to be a bit of a mix-up as we were almost given another tables order. We let the server know right away and were given our original order. I did the quarter bird at medium level heat, which includes a side. I should have done the hot heat level and would get that next time. The chicken did seem greasier than my prior experience visiting a Nashville location. The portions are large and the prices are reasonable. I also tried the banana pudding and I would almost wait to order that until after you get your entree. Lastly, the sweet tea is amazing! read more

Ordered a half bird (dark meat), there were people around so knew it was going to be a minute before my to-go order was completed. Watched as people who ordered way after me, who had multiple items ordered, receive theirs before mine after 30+ min. read more

First timer and it was cool! The fried chicken was crispy and seasoned. You can choose to have your chicken dipped in a sauce with varying heat levels. I chose the hottest sauce but got it on the side. It's best to have the chicken dipped to get the full flavor experience. I had pimento Mac and cheese and collard greens as my sides. The Mac and cheese was okay but nothing to write home about. The greens were seasoned and tasted pretty good. The hosts check in on the guests throughout the meal. One even talked to us about the spice levels and made some good jokes about my heat level choice. I will definitely go back the next time I visit Birmingham. read more

The service and food was awesome!!! The cashier was extra friendly and so was the lady who worked in the kitchen

The chicken at Hattie B.'s is something special. It's flavorful, SO tender and soft, and is good with or without sauce. I have to say that the medium was a little spicier than I had even expected... that said, there are THREE others that are spicier and I can't imagine. But it's nice when spicy food has flavor too. These definitely did. Also, the staff was friendly and the wait was short. read more

Hattie B's Hot Chicken - Birmingham - Fried 3 Tenders Plate - Sandwiches Near Me - Birmingham, Alabama

One thing that's true about the south and Alabama in general is that there's a ton of great places to get a chicken sandwich. But, if you're looking for a flavorful, filling, and excellently cooked Nashville-style hot chicken sandwich in Birmingham, there's no better place than Hattie B's. I should note that I have not been to the original Hattie B's in Nashville, so I'm unable to compare the locations. The photos I've attached here are from two separate visits within a week of each other (I really liked it). During the first I got the chicken sandwich at a "hot" spice level, their last "normal" spice level and excellent in terms of both heat and flavor. During the second visit, I decided to level up to the "damn hot" level, their second-hottest. This was a little hot for an everyday lunch, though still quite good in terms of flavor and overall construction. I would put the sort of heat, for enthusiasts, as akin to a hot sauce made with ghost peppers: sticking to the lips, sweat on the top of your head, a heat that sticks with you for at least 20-30 minutes. Everything was really well cooked (large portions, juicy sandwich, good crust on the fry) and it's plenty of food for a large lunch. I also got the homemade fried pickles which were also enjoyable and came with a side of ranch. Service was excellent, overall. My food came out fast in both instances (and it was busy both times at the lunch hour), and in both instances the person who took my order was kind and helpful in terms of menu items and my desire for overall spice level (including a warning about the damn hot sauce). The place itself has both indoor and outdoor (covered) seating and both locations are both full of energy and good conversation and quiet enough to be able to talk to your party without too much trouble. There are televisions, should you want to watch a game or event, but the vibe of the place is more dedicated to hanging out with your party rather than watching any specific sports program. I have definitely added to my list to visit the original location in Nashville given how much I enjoyed this experience. But, until then, I'm glad I have a location not too far away. Definitely worth your time. read more

Hattie b's chicken is great spot for fried chicken! I enjoyed the atmosphere and location. I ordered the medium spiced tenders, Mac and cheese, as well as fries. The tenders had just the right amount of breading and crunch as well as a great spice level. The Mac and cheese was just cheesy enough and seasoned just right. The fries were great! It's hard to go wrong with fries. Don't forget a beverage, as fried chicken usually makes you thirsty. The service was friendly and hospitable. I went with my family, the outdoor seating makes it kid friendly. I've heard great reviews from everyone who tried it; so  knew  I had to try it for myself. Safe to say they did not disappoint. I definitely recommend and have no negative points. Safe to say my family and I will be going back! Don't forget to recommend to your friends and family. read more

We were down in the area and decided to give Hattie B's Hot Chicken a try and was very surprised to see how crowded they were at 3 PM on a Saturday and even more surprised, and delighted on how quickly they got our food out to us. After ordering our food up at the counter, we got our delicious sweet tea and sat down. The atmosphere was joyful and it was nice to see people happy and laughing. Hattie B's Hot Chicken is delicious comfort food and we ate every single bite and wanted more!!

I went there last night. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't great. Chicken seemed greasy. I would take Gus's fried chicken over it any day.

Good Heat, But Not Without the Hiccups I was excited to finally try Hattie B's after hearing so much hype about their famous hot chicken. The flavor definitely delivered--the spice levels are no joke, and the "Hot" was the perfect kick without being overpowering. The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the seasoning had that bold, Southern flair that keeps you coming back for more. The sides, especially the pimento mac & cheese and collard greens, were solid. That said, the experience wasn't flawless. The line was long (which I expected), but the service felt a bit rushed and not super friendly. Also, for the price, I expected a little more attention to detail--the chicken on one visit was a bit dry and the portion sizes seemed inconsistent. Overall, Hattie B's is worth trying if you love hot chicken, but go in knowing it's more about the hype and heat than a perfect all-around dining experience. I'd come back--but probably not wait in a long line again. read more

I swear Hattie B's just doesn't miss. I visited these guys AGAIN this past Saturday which was a long time coming since I had not been there in about a year or so and when I tell yall they have not fell off. Everything was literally perfect. The staff was so nice, the restaurant was clean, and of course the food let's talk about that! I ordered the hot chicken chicken fingers mild with fries and loaded grits. First of all the chicken was fried and seasoned perfectly by someone who clearly cares. The fries were crispy and salty I loved them and yall those loaded grits... they were creamy, cheesy, and had freaking bacon in it! Oh and side note whoever is making the lemonade needs a raise because they put they foot in it as my grandmother would say. That lemonade is as southern as it gets. Hattie my love 10/10. Thank you! read more
