If you are a serious hot chicken fan, add plus one to your normal spice - I had medium and it was mild. Great flavor though.

Nothing fancy tonight. Garlic knots were good. Just the right amount of butter and garlic and crisp to it. Buffalo wings were a mix of well cooked and overcooked/charred. They were good but a bit overdone. Pizza was a very thin crust, but we like it that way. Unfortunately the crust was also very charred. Not typical brick oven char, but much heavier. My wife could not eat it. She said it must be "an acquired taste". I believe they may just need to clean their brick oven. Restaurant has cute decor and ambience. Not very crowded either with the amazing weather we are having. If you are a brick oven connoisseur this may be the place for you, probably not a restaurant we will frequent in the future.

4.5 The new year is…read moreas good as time as ever to try a new (to you/me) restaurant in an unvisited (by me/you) part of the midstate. Old Hickory Blvd is to the Nashville area as Peachtree is to Atlanta: it's everywhere and nowhere at the same time and no one knows where you are if you say you're on it. Well, needing lunch on a Friday in the new year, I made my way onto Old Hickory to see where it took me. It led me to... Old Hickory and Granddaddy's Original Hot Chicken Shack. It had been on my radar for a while but I never had a reason to me in this part of the county. I decided to make time on this day. Besides the potential gastric distress I find myself avoiding hot chicken because of how colonized and commodified it's become. What was a community staple (and not a 'Nashville' food) has become something that's turned into a chain item, largely without the very people who made it a thing (creators and patrons). Incredibly frustrating. So, when I decide to eat it, I want to make sure I do so responsibly and with consideration. Hence, Granddaddy's. I parked in the ample lot and walked in to find a small dining room that smelled incredible. I was greeted with an authentic smile (you can see it in the eyes and hear it in the voice) and asked (first) how I was doing and (secondly) what I'd like. I answered ('well; thanks for asking' and 'shredded chicken sandwich & fries to go, please.'). In all my professional eating*, I don't think I'd ever had shredded hot chicken. I was going to learn that day. I sat down and watched TV as my food was prepared. After the conclusion on my show, my food was ready. I thanked the folks behind the counter, smiled, waved, and hit the bricks. I noticed that I made a muscle when carrying the bag. This was a good sign. It was also a long drive back to my house. I got home and realized why I had to exert effort to lift my food: it was huge. You definitely get your money's worth. On an over-sized bun, I had an extremely generous amount of shredded hot chicken (medium), cheese, ranch, and pickles. As you might imagine, the flavor combo was A+. What you might not have bet on, though, was the texture win of the sandwich. The soft bun, shredded chicken, creamy ranch, and crunchy pickles added up to a memorable chew with every bite. The fries weren't merely a side. They demanded your attention: a generous portion of seasoned fries that lost neither heat nor snap on the drive from Old Hickory to my home. No matter where you live in the midstate, if you profess to enjoy hot chicken, you owe it to your mouth to make it to Granddaddy's. It was one of the best lunches I'd had in a while. I still think about it. *It's true.

Food was very good! We ordered the 3 tenders meal with crinkle cut fries. Medium heat level was just right if you like a little spice but not burning your mouth. Tenders were cooked just right with the right amount of crunchy coating. We will definitely return to try some other sides.

When I arrived, there were a lot of people waiting around the cash register. All of them were waiting for a pick up order and most had been waiting for over 30 minutes. One man has been waiting over an hour and kept on waiting for an additional 20 minutes after that. I planned my drive based on the time so that I could just pick up the order and take off. However, I was asked to wait another 20 minutes. Though the wait was excessive, the manager was handling all customers with such grace. He wasn't rude, explained to everyone about the delay, and even when he was cursed off by an impatient customer, he kept his calm. I do hope everyone enjoys their meals, and I hope that the restaurant find a way to place the order faster. 4 stars for handling a difficult situation wonderfully, but minus one star for the long wait. Food tasted great!

The cashier was super helpful in explaining the spice levels. The inside is quiet as well as clean and you're able to either eat in or take your food to go. The catfish sandwiches were huge! You get two full hefty pieces of catfish and 4 pieces of bread to make 2 sandwiches. All the fixings are there to build the sandwich as well as your side. I opted for the potato salad which was a nice cooling agent for the spicy catfish. The food turned into two meals for the price of one.
