    Chicken Whole Wing
    Gina H.

    First time visiting, stopped by for a quick lunch. The food was a bit salted. I asked for fries as a side and was unaware fries came with the meal that would've been helpful information from the cashier. I did enjoy the outdoor patio space.

    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.

    Dirty bird fries

    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!

    We were walking around Lakeview one evening and got a hankering for Hattie Bs chicken. The chicken was super moist and fried to perfection. I also LOVED the pimento mac and cheese. It was warm, delicious and comforting to my belly. Glad that they are open late!

    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.

    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!

    Just got a taste of Hattie B's at an Yelp's event and I wanted some more lol, so Hattie B's we go!! Ordered a dark quarter with 2 sides - the grits and the greens. Employees were super nice. My order was delivered to the table and I was able to satisfy my craving! I had to include a Pic of their Christmas tree because I really liked it, haha.

    Banana Pudding Cup
    Tina H.

    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.

    Tammy T.

    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

    Wings-Hot
    Tannesha G.

    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.

    Leah N.

    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.

    3 wing combo (medium) with fries and beans
    Darelle G.

    Hattie B's is always great! I have never had a bad meal. The beans are my favorite side item!! It's a quick casual spot, with fast attentive service. My family was trying Hattie B's for the 1st time and they all loved it! Definitely would return!

    The best tenders, beans, fries, & 'naner pudding' on this side of the Mississippi!
    Tim C.

    I bragged about this place to my co-worker all the way from Dallas until we reached Birmingham & it did NOT disappoint tonight! The service was welcoming & spectacular, & the food was perfect! God bless the person that made the banana pudding today. ***virtual fist bump*** Thank you for being awesome, Hattie B's! My co-worker is sold!

    Please post any gluten-free recommendations?

    My girlfriend is gluten free and although we've never been together, she mentioned that wings at most places are gluten free. May have to ask first though. Also, sides like the beans are I believe. Unsure what else.

    How is the actual chicken? Compared to Popeyes or kfc?

    I agree with the others--it's insanely better. The quality isn't comparable with Popeyes and KFC.

Soup changes daily and this day was chickpea and chorizo. Nothing life changing about it but it wasn't bad. We walked into a small, dark, crowded dive bar and ordered amongst several other people after waiting in line shoulder to shoulder with other customers. I say this not to complain (because with a crowd like this on a random weekday, they're obviously doing something right) but to take your kids in car seats (‍) with caution. Crowds in small spaces stress me out and it would have been even worse if we'd had the boys with us. I'd also highly suggest going on a day when you can sit outside. There's very minimal seating inside. They do have a lovely, spacious patio that also feels like a garden with plenty of trees for shade. However, they make it clear they don't want dogs there. Parking was horrific. A narrow street with cars on each side. We barely fit through it. If there wouldn't have been an open spot on it, I'm not sure what the next option is because I didn't see anywhere else and this street only held so many. I would dine here again because the sandwiches were fresh and delicious and they obviously know what they're doing! I was pleasantly surprised that they had prosecco as well. Just heed my few warnings and you'll enjoy as well!

    Ok so this place actually makes a great sandwich…read more I was scrolling Yelp and looking for something nearby and saw a pic from this place and decided to just shoot over to it and give it a try. Best sandwich related move I've made in a while. It's inside a brewery, but kind of it's own separate space on one end. Walk up and order at the counter, get a number and they'll bring it out to you when it's ready. There is tons of space indoors and out. Lots of tvs for watching all the games. A variety of seating from sofas to barstools to picnic tables etc. Just a really spacious place with a great layout. It's in a brewery, but I'm gonna say it's family friendly. I definitely saw families there with kids and everyone was having a good and responsible time. So as far as all that stuff goes...great. Now onto the sandwich. The menu was short and sweet and I was torn between a few of their options, and I settled on the Big Tony, which turned out to be a great decision. It was huge. 2 meals. Order one if you're hungry, or if you want to share with a friend. It was made to order, it could be had either hot or cold. It had a great balsamic on it. It was popping with flavor and on a nice hoagie roll that rounded it out nicely. Long story short, don't second guess it. This is a great, big, flavorful sandwich and it's being served up in a big, spacious, airy environment with all the things you'd expect in a nice brewery. Get down there and see for yourself.
