I have been SLEEPING on this place! Y'all, if you want some out-of-this-world fried chicken and loaded fries that are seriously too good to be true, do NOT be like me and sleep on this place! The food is AMAZING. And the owner? So incredibly kind and welcoming. You can tell there's a lot of heart behind this place, which makes supporting an amazing local Arizona small business even better. We will 100% be back! Oh--and they have Trivia Night on Thursdays, so now we have another excuse to come back. Seriously, go check them out. You won't regret it! read more

Came in on a Friday night I was the only customer but it was after 7. Ordered 2 strips combo heat 6. I'm always wary of spice levels. 6 is a bit of a bit but not a fire burn. Will go for an 8 next time. Strips are large, meaty, and we'll fried. The Nashville dip did not make it overly oily. They did a very good job. Fries are seasoned and crispy. The toast and slaw side are never something I go for so no review there. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Will be back. read more

Incredible! I could smell their delicious chicken from across the streer! The owner is so amazing and hilarious. He was super helpful with suggestions, the chicken sandwiches with waffle fries are perfect. Its the best chicken I've ever eaten actually! I have been back so many times!! Worth the visit. Its even hallal. . The restaurant has a bar and a sports screen to watch the game. Its great place to meet up. read more

Nashville Hot Chicken - The bar with TV's to watch the game - Chicken Shop Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

If I could give this place more than 5 stars, I would! From the moment we walked in, the vibe was great. The owner came out to personally welcome us on our first visit, and everyone greeted us with genuine smiles and kindness. Ordering was so easy because they took the time to explain the menu and gave us great recommendations. I thought I'd had good hot chicken before... but WOW, I was so wrong. This chicken was absolutely incredible! My wife and I both got the Nashville Hot Sandos, and my personal favorite was the Buffalo Ranch. Every bite was packed with flavor, perfectly crispy, and cooked to perfection. Amazing food, amazing people, and an awesome vibe. You can tell they genuinely care about their customers. We already can't wait to come back and work our way through the entire menu. Highly recommend! read more

Popped in to kill time and grab a quick beverage. Heard great things about the chicken here so even though I want hungry I ordered an a la carte tender. It was yummy! I got the plane Jane because I'm a sissy about spice. There was a bit of a wait for it to be prepped but OMG! So worry it! It was fresh, hot, and worth the wait! Perfectly seasoned, perfectly buttered toast with it. To die for good! Worth the belly ache! I so appreciate how kind Randy was about letting me just hang out while waiting for a meeting. read more

So we tried this place the other night for take out. Tried the hot fries, I tried the mild- really good!! I just didn't know they mix the Coleslaw in with it (I wasn't too kin on that but still good). We also got the Mac n cheese bites very tasty just wished I should've gotten more!! lol Also got the jalapeño poppers they had a good flavor!! The place is nice and modern- very clean. And the guy who gave me my food was great!! Very nice and since it was takeout I really appreciated the fact that he labels the different flavors I got! We will be back!! read more

Was walking around the area when my girlfriend and I came across this place. Great atmosphere, customer service (Go Saints), and the chicken was incredible! read more

Nashville Hot Chicken - #3 NHC Sando Plate - Chicken Shop Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Nashville Hot Chicken - Mesa, AZ Easily one of the best local spots I've eaten at in a long time. The food here hits every mark perfectly seasoned, crispy chicken with that real Nashville kick, balanced out by fresh slaw and the kind of waffle fries you actually want to finish. What really stands out, though, is the owner. You can tell he puts everything into this place constantly checking in, making sure every plate comes out right, and treating customers like regulars even if it's their first time. He's not hiding in the back he's front and center, working hard to make sure people leave happy. The sandwich with the waffle buns and sauce drizzle (see photo) is legit next-level the perfect combo of crunch, heat, and sweet. And those loaded fries? Dangerous in the best way. If you're anywhere near Mesa, this spot deserves your stop. Support small business done right this is how it's supposed to be. Fire ! I haven't been here in months owner still remembers every detail of how I like my order. Phenomenal A1 service. Literally a one man show, treats all his customers like celebrities!!! read more

Nashville Hot Chicken - Food was sensational ‍ - Chicken Shop Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

We visited Nashville recently and had lunch at Hattie B's Hot Chicken which was amazing. Hoping to find something similar in AZ, but this place is not it. Chicken was deep-fried too long, no greens on the menu, half of the fountain drinks options were out of order. read more

Affordable prices/prices on par/cheaper than most fast food restaurants ($6.85 for chicken sando, $12.95 for chicken sando, fries, and a drink). While affordable, I was disappointed at the quality. The chicken was very dry, and scarce. Mild spiciness (we ordered blazin' which is "hot" but felt more like mild). The chicken sando had 1 chicken tender when it should have had at least 2. Half the sandwich had no chicken! I agree with others about the small portion of fries too. Waffle Sando, great in theory, but too much breading and too dry. Luckily there's other hot chicken restaurants! read more

Good fried chicken! Very generous portions with just one tender. Cooked to order fresh, hot and delicious.

Would give this place 0 star if I could. We came here on sunday 8/31/25 around 11:45 am. The door was shut and the lights weren't on. Yelp said they were supposed to open at 11:00 am... so we called them to confirm. For some reason, the guy on the phone said they open at 12:00 pm. So we decided to wait since it was only 15 minutes till they "open." We sat in the car until 12:05 pm and nothing happened. My boyfriend walked up to the door to check, and there was nobody inside. He called them again and got the same guy who answered the phone the first time (maybe he is the owner). He said, "oh I'll be there in 10 minutes.. ummm 13 minutes." We said forget it and decided to leave. Then we noticed there was a sign on the door that said they were opened at 11:00 am. I understand that things happen on the road and sometimes we can just be late to our jobs. Sometimes we just sleep through the alarm. However, you should not lie to your customers saying you're opened at the different time, nor should you had told us a time that you could not show up. Honesty and sincerity can go a long way. read more

Found this place by accident and so glad we did! We loved it! They asked what our spice level was when we ordered and the chicken flavor was perfect! The restaurant was clean and the service was friendly and fast. We will be back! read more

Cut up chicken tenders, coleslaw, fries, and blazin hot sauce. It was enough for two people plus we took leftovers. It's a shame because it was so delicious! Fries were perfectly fried crispy The tenders were crispy and soo moist! The coleslaw was tangy and delicious. The sauce was yummy and hot and that was the blazin mild Owner was so nice let's get this place busy!!! read more

Great food, good service. Kind and attentive staff. Ordered the mild tenders and everything was really good. Will be back soon.

Came in on a Wednesday, the place is pretty spacious. We were helped quick and he told us it'd be a 15 minute wait, the food came out in a timely manner. We ordered the number 3 combo chicken sandwich plate. My partner ordered a level 7 spice, which he said got his nose sweating but a nice level of spice. I got a level 5 spice which was perfect for those who want a tiny tingle with great seasonings. The buns were perfectly intact and fluffy. The chicken was crispy, the pickles and slaw was refreshing. The fries were perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. We got a side a ranch which tasted like hidden valley but thicker. Overall, loved everything we ate. They even had sparkling water on tap which we enjoyed throughly. read more

Awesome chicken and cool owner, definitely going to make this the regular chicken stop, great flavor

We love this spot and stop by here often. We always get the 6 chicken sandwich special tossed in buffalo sauce without coleslaw. YUM!!!

Nashville Hot Chicken - Twisted tea in the bottle is the best - Chicken Shop Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

This is the second time we've tried to come eat here and they were not open during their business hours. Extremely unprofessional. It's unfortunate because the food really is good but the inconsistency of being open during your business hours (which are posted online and on front of the building) makes it not worth it. There's plenty of other hot chicken spots throughout the valley. read more

After a trip to Nashville we decided to test all the hot chicken places in Phoenix. This one by far has been the best in my opinion. The chicken was seasoned well and the sauce was great. Not to mention thin the fries were also so yummy! It was no frills and so good. read more

Rightfully so because their food was Def gotta stop by! read more

My son Travis and I just enjoyed another great chow down at NHC. It has been over a year since we first stopped in and we were so glad to see them still open! We live in the far East Valley but since we had some chores to do in Tempe I thought let's try NHC again. Mary welcomed us in and after determining we were not "newbies" and knew what the menu offered taste/heat wise she helped us get our order in. My loaded fries and Travis's chicken sandwich combo did not disappoint! We were stuffed happily when we left!! Looking forward to our next visit!! Thanks Mary - it was excellent! read more

We walked in and ordered a plain Jane no spice chicken sandwich and a chicken tender meal. Holy moly juicy and crunchy and delicious! Had to wait maybe 10mins but it's sooo worth it and I wonder if I need to learn how to be more patient for good food. Highly recommend maybe ordering online if that's a big deal but I think it's made FRESH and I think it's worth waiting. read more

Went here on a Monday night. Only one person was working. She was nice so I left a tip. Other than the service, the place was horrible. Fountain drink machine was down so I just ordered a soda can. The themostat was set at 81 degrees Fahrenheit so poor girl working there. Other than that, at least the service was nice. read more

Best Hot Chicken in Tempe! After Houston Hot chicken changed their recipe I had to find a new chicken spot and this is the one! I shared the 2 sandwich deal which is 2 chicken sandwiches with 5oz of fries for $17! Owner super nice, love that they are open til midnight. read more

Recommendation is to return dressing/sauce ramekins back to previous larger size and maintain better quality control on size and heat levels of chicken tenders. If your pieces are abnormally small just add another tender to make up for the shortage read more

First time eating at NHC. The food was awesome. The service was excellent! Got to meet the franchise owner. Great guy, very friendly.

I'm not really one to leave bad reviews but... I do have to say the pictures of the food are very misleading indeed. The price does not match the quality or even the quantity of the food which is very disappointing. read more
