    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.

    Food was sensational ‍

    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!!!

    Chicken Sando

    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!

    Tenders And Slaw

    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!!!

    Came back a second time because I live so darn close, paid 6 dollars for like 7 waffle fries. "1 refill per customer" on the fountain machine inside. The chicken is decent but these guys are kind of cheapskates.

    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.

    Twisted tea in the bottle is the best

    The food here is always on point. Great Service nice people. I have tried many places and this place I keep going back to it. Thank for the great food and they are open late. The best part is you can grab a beer or a alcoholic beverage

All of it had bomb seasoning and the Mac was SO CHEESEYYYY talked to the owner @ the register and he was an awesome guy who loves his restaurant. Rightfully so because their food was Def gotta stop by!

I have no clue how they get it so crispy without any grease! It was so tender, and the flavors were definitely there. We also enjoyed the fries and the coleslaw and both were delicious! I really like the seasonings they use. The best part was that after finishing, we didn't feel that "heaviness" you sometimes get from fried food, because you know we were talking about that too. We also really enjoyed the banana pudding! Also the music was on point, we were singing the whole time we ate.

You can tell he actually cares about the dining experience and keeps up with his tables really well. Service alone was a 10 out of 10. Before coming in, we saw reviews complaining about a 20 minute wait for the food, but honestly that did not bother us because they let us know right away that the chicken is made fresh and would take around 15 minutes. If you know good fried chicken, you already know fresh chicken is worth the wait. I would rather wait a little longer for crispy, hot chicken than get something sitting under a heat lamp. And let me tell you, the chicken came out exactly how fried chicken should be. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, piping hot, and perfectly seasoned. The crunch had that fresh fry texture where you can actually hear it when you bite into it. For sides, I got the okra and mac and cheese. It was my first time trying fried okra and now I completely understand the hype. The seasoning on it was insanely good, especially paired with the Louisiana hot sauce. Definitely ask for the yellow peppers too because they add this juicy little pop of heat and crunch that takes the chicken to another level. Overall: 10 out of 10 service 10 out of 10 food 10 out of 10 atmosphere If you actually love fried chicken and appreciate fresh food made right, this spot is absolutely worth checking out.

The famous Dave's sauce was also delicious and went great on the crinkle cut fries. For our order: * I got 2 sliders with crinkle cut fries * My husband went big with the large top-loaded fries * One kid got a slider, a strip, and mac & cheese * The other got a slider, a strip, and fries * We also grabbed some cauli bites to share * 4 Soft Drinks Everything came out fresh and the whole family enjoyed their meals. The price felt fair for everything we ordered including soft drinks, especially considering the portion sizes. The reason for the 4 stars is that we actually didn't go inside, so I can't really comment on the ambiance or customer service experience. Also, the soda was a little flat and didn't have much flavor, which was a bit of a bummer. But overall it was a great casual family meal with tasty chicken, good spice levels, and satisfying sides. Definitely a spot we'd come back to when the hot chicken craving hits. Overall rating: Great flavor, juicy chicken, and a family-approved meal.

The chicken tenders were spot-on: really crispy exterior that actually held up, with juicy, tender meat inside and perfect doneness. No complaints there. The french fries were a standout--crisp all the way through and seasoned just right, not overdone or underdone. Easily some of the better fast-casual fries I've had lately. The slider was a nice surprise too. It's a good, generous size--comparable to what you'd get at the big national chains, but noticeably better quality and flavor. Clean spot, good vibe, and everything came out hot. Nothing flashy, just consistently good food done well. Definitely going back, and I'd recommend it to anyone in the area looking for solid hot chicken.

    "Double-Fried Delight: Tipsy Chicken Gets It Right"…read more Tipsy Chicken in Mesa brought me right back to the Korean fried chicken spot I really enjoyed in Seoul years ago. We ordered the 7-piece bone-in chicken wings with sweet and spicy and honey butter sauces, and it delivered on every level.
