    3 Whole Wings (Hot) Side of Get it girl Greens/ seasoned Fries
    Alan D.

    Prince's Hot Chicken is the OG of Nashville hot chicken being around forever, and for good reason. If you know, you know. If you don't, well....prepare yourself, because this chicken packs heat. My go-to when I'm in town? The three-wing plate, medium just the right kick without making me question my life choices even though I have used 20 napkins from the heat lol. The collard greens? Fire! Mac and cheese? Solid def hits! Andre Chicken sandwich? A must...I like to order one and take one home for a snack lol. And the fries? Always crispy, always on point. Oh, and don't forget the ranch, trust : ) The staff here? Top-notch. They really look out for their customers, and I appreciate that. Plus, my photo was once the main pic on their Yelp page, so clearly, I know what I'm talking about. If you're in Nashville and haven't tried Prince's, fix that immediately! Just pick your spice level wisely, because this chicken does not play around lol.

    I have been a long time customer of Prince's Chicken (and hot chicken in general). I discovered Prince's Hot Chicken at a time when hot chicken was unknown outside of Nashville, Tennessee and the world ever muttered the term "Nashville hot chicken." I have probably been going to Prince's Hot Chicken for close to twenty-five years and I first found them in the old location that has since closed after a car drove through it or something. Prince's Hot Chicken has multiple locations now and this particular location is in the Tanger Outlets. The service here was friendly enough and I went with a breat quarter with a side of potato salad. The chicken was absolutely fantastic. The potato salad wasn't as good as in the past, but it could have just been an off day. Let me further state, the potato salad was still good. I just remember it as incredible. Prince's Hot Chicken is credited with the creation of hot chicken and it was said to have been created as a form of revenge by a woman angry at her man who she believed was running around with other women. I guess it had the opposite effect. He tried the hot chicken and loved it. If you are in Nashville, Tennessee, you owe it to yourself to try the food they are most known for and if you want to try it, try it from the original who created it. I still think it is the best, as well. I would definitely recommend Prince's Hot Chicken and I give it five stars overall. Go check them out and you will be a fan, as well.

    mild chicken sandwich fries and mac.

    This was my first visit and I must say i enjoyed my food. I went to buy just myself a meal but, i ended up going back in for the rest of my family. I chose the mild chicken sandwich and it had flavor, which was better than my mother's plan. The young lady that helped me was very patient in helping me decide, i'm not sure of her name but she had a certain swag about herself ... hopefully that will help .. Lol. The sides were good, now that lemonade you might need to cut that with something . Next time you visit the Tanger outlet please stop and give them your business. Please note almost everything in there is al carte, so be prepared it can add up. Know different then the rest of them placed with combo meals. The place was clean and you can either sit inside or outside. I'm not sure when I will get that way again do it will get my 5 stars.

    Ok, so never had Nashville hit chicken before , sooooo, when in Nashville.. gotta try! This place was awesome go the sandwich in X-Hot, it has some heat to it! But very flavorful, pickles on point and little cup of slaw you put on the sandwich completes it.. the bun was awesome like a soft brioche type.. this place just set the bar very high for any other Nashville Hot Chicken, yes I realize it's a counter service type restaurant but it really was that good!

    Chicken was tough. The grilled and fried. Some of the fried was hard as a rock. The sides were really good. Service was good. The place is basically brand new but some of the neon was not working inside and it just didn't feel like the inside decide had been kept up well.

    Tenders with fries and greens

    Had to try the spot for Nashville hot chicken and they did not mess around haha! The spice is there for sure, we tried plain, lite, mild and medium. (If you are low on the spice tolerance go plain or lite). All tasty and the greens were super yummy! Our chicken was juicy and full of flavor. We'd recommend trying if in the area.

    The food was fresh, hot and crispy. The customer service was amazing. We were in Nashville for vacation, but will come back to this location on our next trip just for the way the staff treated us. I'm so glad the food measured up to the employees.

    4 Jumbo Tenders - Amazing!!

    I've had Hattie B's, Hangry Joe's, and Crimson Coward, and this is the best Nashville Hot Chicken! Four tenders come on sliced bread with pickles. Can't wait to come back!

    I forgot to take a picture of the chicken when we first got it but look how huge this chicken wing is compared to the to-go container!

    I love hot chicken and living in Nashville area you get the best of all! Prices hot chicken is legit hot! We I usually order hot or above the next level of heat, I'm able to handle it at any hot chicken location. But oooofff not at princes . The heat level hot is FIRE! like literally super spicy! It's good, but I'm not sure if I can handle if. Every time I order it, I tell myself next time I need to order a level down, so I am writing this review to reference back to remind myself lol. The chicken here is huge! You can eat one and be satisfied! I love the extra pickles with toast too! Yum! Love the location! You can do some shopping and have dinner or lunch! Super convenient for me and a lot closer vs other locations, also right off the highway. It's super clean inside and the staff are very friendly. This is a location that I will definitely be coming back to over and over.

    Iconic Nashville Hot Chicken. Loved my first visit to their Tanger Outlet location. Staff were super friendly and they had many dining options. While dining they even came around to offer samples of stew and hot chocolate. Delicious! Of course, the chicken is the standout menu item and whether ordered plain, hot, or in a salad it is cooked perfectly and delicious. The seasoned fries are among the best, as well. Big and bold! Want heat? You got it! I ordered their 4 chicken finger dish with two "X", one "XX", and one "XXX", their hottest. Fortunately, I survived all three. My only reservation regarding hot chicken, in general, is that to make it extra hot they simply put on more spice rub. By the time I got to XXX it was a thick paste and detracted from the great chicken. Regardless, I'll be back!

    I've lived here 5 years and hadn't had hot chicken. Decided my first time should be at the original chain. Place is nice and clean, lots of seating inside and outside. The girl at the counter was having a bad or off day cause she wasn't very cheery or interested at all to be helping me. Oh well, we all have bad days. Ordered the medium level tenders and a side of greens. Food came out very fast and was piping hot both in temperature and flavor. It had me fooled at first. I thought "hey this isn't that spicy..." but was quickly convinced otherwise. Very good though. Medium will be my highest I'll go. The greens were super delicious as well. Good stuff! Will be back.

    I was at Tanger Outlet and decided to give this place a try. I can say I liked it so much. The hot is hot if you love hot like I do. The service was fast and quick. Didn't have to wait long at all. The atmosphere is family friendly and the music is versatile. This is a must go to spot.

    Tortilla bowl with HOT chicken.
    Rayanne T.

    This is a super busy, hoppin" place. We ordered our food and the staff let us know it works take a bit longs since we ordered a 1/4 chicken. Staff can't to our table to give a status update -- that's great costumer service!! I ordered the chicken sandwich mild with a side of potato salad and Mac and cheese. All super good -- the mild has a bit of a bite so done get it if you have no spice tolerance. We also had the 1/4 white meat fried chicken medium with a side of Mac and cheese. My son, who is a chili eating Mexican was in horrific pain. He said the chicken was good nonetheless. My other son ordered the tortilla bowl with the hot chicken. Although he reported the meal to be really good, he sweat profusely throughout. LOL!

Unfortunately, while the food was visually appealing, the quality did not match the presentation. The women serving upfront were ok. I ordered the fried pork chop with turnip greens, mac and cheese, dressing, and a cornbread muffin. The pork chop was heavily battered and overwhelmingly salty, with little flavor beyond salt. The mac and cheese tasted artificial, as though processed cheese was used. The turnip greens were tender but lacked seasoning and tasted as if they had simply been boiled in water. The cornbread muffin was dry, hard, and bland. The dressing was also very disappointing and lacked flavor. Overall, the meal was extremely underwhelming and not representative of good home-style cooking. I was disappointed with both the quality and taste of the food, especially considering the restaurant's branding. After only a few bites, I discarded the meal entirely. Based on this experience, I would not return or recommend this restaurant. In my heart of hearts, this place gets zero stars...however, I believe that I have to give at least one star.

The wings and fish were really nice and crispy. The lemon pepper seasoning was better than most other chicken places so that was a nice surprise.

Found out they ran out of chicken ‍ The counter person was on her phone the entire time and not checking online order tickets or food as it was coming out from the kitchen. She was being rude on top of it all. Sounds like they were messing up people's orders as I heard another customer put on speaker with the same girl at the front. She didn't check customer receipts for some people ahead so I'm assuming she messed up the orders. Luckily the food is solid and I'm supporting this business since they lost their one of the owners to tragic and unfortunate circumstances. Hopefully they do better if there is a next time.
