This place has a neat route-66-esque vibe which is pretty neat, and large picnic tables outside for bigger groups. The service was friendly and fast, and the chicken --- woooowiiieee! It's so fresh and the flavor is out of this world. The fries are also up there in being memorable. Grilled chicken is also hard to master but the chicken tenders on my salad were perfectly cooked and not dry at all. We were just passing through town, but we will definitely stop in here again if we are ever back here!

I stop at the drive through speaker and a voice says "Just pull up to the window" and I thought "Okey dokey..." and did just that, although I was a bit confused. Getting to the window a sweet young lady was saying to someone that they told the wrong person to pull up to the window before she turned to me laughing. I'm cracking up as she says "Hi! It's okay as we know what you want!" I'm dying laughing and said "Great! You've already got my two chicken biscuits ready then, right?" She's looking at me with such a grateful face that I'm not upset, the people behind her are scrambling to get my order IMMEDIATELY, and in no time flat I have my order as we're joshing back and forth. I totally enjoyed my short time at the drive through, and the psychic chicken and biscuits were AWESOME! The pieces of chicken breast were HUGE, fried to perfection, and the biscuits put Hardee's to shame. It's also so much easier to get in and out of than Hardee's is... especially since whoever did the redesign and rebuild there. (Being a retired contractor all I'm gonna say is the architect had to be on mind altering drugs as it's a horrible mess trying to get in and out of that place... the parking and drive through leave me speechless.) I've gotta go back when I have enough calories in reserve so I can chow down on more of their goodlicious food... right now I have a really happy belly and couldn't even finish the two chicken and biscuits I ordered when I thought I was starving!

In short: The Nashville hot chicken of your dreams…read more I got this recommendation from my cousin . I wanted the best hot chicken money can buy and it delivered . We were staying downtown so This was about a 35 mins plus walk From the thick of tourist town. Ambiance: it's a little shack with barstool Type seating that goes fast. Service: not quick.. but that's okay because It's worth the wait . It was about 45 mins For our order and within a two hour time Frame I couldn't count the amount of people In and out . Food: I got the pimento hot chicken sandwich in medium. It had a little kick but I like spicy and could've went up a notch. It Was perfect ! Good breading, flavor profile and the chicken was piping hot! We also Ordered the pimento Mac n cheese which Was fire . I also had the mustard potato salad..again... absolutely delicious. I tried Hattie B's two days later and there's no comparison whatsoever . Come here for Nashville Hot chicken .. you won't regret it!

Fries were average - hot & seasoned but nothing special! I didn't have any of the other sides although I would love to try them if I make it back! We did wait 45 minutes for the food - but they have a sign flashing which tells you the wait time BEFORE you order so this was nothing surprising! Would recommend everyone to try it out if they make it to Nashville

It's been one of our favorites since we lived here, and nothing's changed -- still absolutely worth it. We always go for the chicken & waffles (because honestly, why mess with perfection?). The chicken is consistently crispy, juicy, and full of flavor, and the spice levels are actually accurate -- no surprises, just good heat done right. The waffles? Perfect balance to the spice. Truly the best combo. The vibe is the same as we remembered: bright, welcoming, and fast service even when they're busy. It felt like coming home to an old favorite. If you're visiting Franklin -- or honestly anywhere near Nashville -- do yourself a favor and make the stop. Still a 10/10 for us
