When I tell you, I am so thankful that I found this place! Every time I go to BNA I always try to make it to Hattie B's. And Hattie B's is definitely a touristy place inside and outside the airport, and while the chicken is pretty good, the prices are high and for some reason I don't get my airport discount. So one day I had gotten off at gate number 4 and walked by Princes Hot Chicken. They didn't have any customers, but they did have their food on display so you can see what you were ordering. I ended up getting their medium spice fried chicken tenders with macaroni and cheese on the side, and let me tell you: I should've been eating here the whole time! On my second visit I got their chicken tenders again with the mac & cheese, and I ate it all in one sitting. And the other day my friend was at the airport and I recommended getting it as well. We're only going to Princes Hot Chicken from now on. It's so good! read more

My fault yall I wanted to try Prince's, Hattie B and Bolton's on my trip but my wife wanted Red's (and she's not an "eat hot chicken 3 days in a row" kinda gal) so I was like hey I'm right here and I just flew from CA so let me try this place Keep in mind that Hattie's is around the corner but opposite of the baggage claim from D Gates so Prince's it was. Got the 4 tenders Medium with a side of Collard Greens. Greens had a funny aftertaste that I'm not used to, not good or bad, just different. Very flavorful even if I can't pinpoint what the flavor is. Strips were nice and had good breading, very greasy. Made my wife kinda sick, really flared up her gastritis. Kinda forgettable heat wise especially for medium. If you can't make it anywhere else then sure drop in but if you can't, it's worth going out of you way outside of the airport for Nashville Hot Chicken read more

Prince's Hot Chicken - Get It Girl Greens, flavorful but not sure what the flavor is lol - Chicken Shop Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

I got the chicken tenders at the airport location. Honestly, good choice if you want food quick and you're hungry (chicken is already cooked and under the heat lamp). I got the mild, which was already spicy enough for my taste. I think the chicken tenders themselves were okay. The exterior was crunchy, but the chicken inside was so dry. Would not recommend if you like your chicken juicy. Also food might have given me a stomach ache. read more

It meets the stereotype for airport food, unfortunately: on the expensive side and not very good. At first I was impressed with how fast my order my ready, until I bit into it. The outside is crispy which is nice, but the inside is so dry and stringy, it must have just been sitting out in the heat. I got medium spice because I was scared that any hotter would be too hot and I didn't want to be in an airport/airplane for that. But next time I would def go for hot. The heat itself is there but it's not the most flavorful. I do like that they give you a lot of sauce though. The blue cheese came with my order but I think they might have just thrown in the light raspberry vinaigrette as extra. read more

Prince's Hot Chicken - Decor - Chicken Shop Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Located in the Nashville airport on the way to the D gates, this is one of the Prince's locations (along with Assembly Hall) that doesn't sell bone-in chicken. It makes sense since it takes 20+ minutes to freshly fry chicken for service and airport restaurants need far faster turnaround. With that being said, getting my food within a minute or two of ordering at the kiosk was kind of worrisome. I guess everything here is pre-fried and let to sit in a warmer - all they do is toss the chicken in spices and hot sauce for service. Chicken Tenders, Medium ($13.20) - At medium heat, this seems to be spicier than medium at other hot chicken places, including the Prince's in town. The tenders don't look especially fiery red, but the heat does build quite a bit in the mouth. Good to generate some sweat on a cold day, I suppose. The flavor profile doesn't match the in town locations from what I can remember. Other than the heat, the seasoning is inconsistent and overall a bit bland. It's definitely missing that liberal dusting of family secret spice mixture. To add insult to injury, the tenders are fried way too long. There's no moisture within whatsoever and instead the tenders are dry, tough, and stringy. The one upside - they gave me five tenders instead of the four that are supposed to come in the order. The tenders aren't good, but I can't complain about getting more than I paid for. (2/5) Hash Rounds ($2.50) - These are also not very good. Extremely over-fried, dried out and tough to eat. The only reason I ended up finishing them was to help dampen out some of the heat from the tenders. (2/5) What a disappointment for my last meal in Nashville. I don't think this airport location of Prince's has a good representation of hot chicken. I feel bad for people who want to try Nashville's signature dish and have their first experience here. read more

Solid chicken sandwich. I got it at the hot level and was warned it was spicy. It came out fast and tasty 5 minutes later. Great on flavor and for spice I'd give it a 5/10. It's medium compared to what I'm used to and since I've got another flight, this was the perfect amount of heat. read more

Prince's Hot Chicken - Chicken Shop Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

For those who aren't aware, Prince's Hot Chicken was the originator of the Nashville Hot Chicken! I've tried their original location and when in BNA recently, I decided to try this location instead of a Hattie B's which was nearby. The place was really clean, which prompted me to ask if it was brand new and the ladt working there told me they were a couple of years old. I used to come thru BNA often, but the last time was a couple of years ago. My preference in BNA was always Party Fowl, which was great. This is a carry-out only type of place, where you use a kiosk to place your order when you come in. Then they call you when the order is ready. I took my order to my airline's lounge to enjoy and it was packed great, so everything was nice, neat, and orderly. The sandwich had better bread than chicken... sad to say, the chicken wasn't very impressive. The BBQ beans were small type beans and basic, not much flavor there. The potato salad was a mustard-based, which is my fav, but it had sweetness and pickles in it... Mustard-based tater salad ought never have pickles in it - no salad of any kind should have pickles. The fries were decent. Overall, I wasn't impressed... this definitely wasn't as good as my previous visit to the Prince's that made this craze popular. I'd most definitely never come here again. read more

I know it's the airport - but this was not good. Popeyes is better. Sandwich had small piece of Chicken on it and it was dry. I know it was freshly cooked cuz they told us it would be 5 min. Also May have rushed but not much heat and I got the Hot. 2nd time to Nashville. Tried Hattie B's 1st time and it was great. Next time will try 400 Degrees or Party Fowl. Disappointing!!! read more

Between Hattie Bs, Prince's, and party fowl, I'll have to say Prince's is my least favorite. The medium spicy fried chicken sandwich was a bit spicier than I like, but it's really the flavorless, soft bun that does not add to the sandwich. Some say Prince's is the founder of Nashville hot chicken and now I've tried twice and have not been impressed. Convenient location at Nashville airport, where you can try all 3 options and form your own opinion. Prince's is also to-go only with no indoor seating read more

Prince's Hot Chicken - 3 whole wings and fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

You can't stop at Nashville without getting hot chicken, so my husband had to stop at Prince's Hot Chicken at the airport. He ordered the 4 tenders (medium heat) with a side of fries on their self order kiosk. I wanted to try the famous Prince's too, but I'm very sensitive to spice. However, the staff was kind enough to not put any sauce on one tender so I could try their chicken plain. They even packed it up in a separate box for me with a slice of bread and pickles. The chicken was juicy and nicely breaded. The crinkle cut fries had a little bit of seasoning on them which enhanced the flavor. This was elevated chicken tenders & fries. I'm not sure what the normal pricing at Prince's is, but the meal (with a drink) did feel a little pricy at $20+. There is no seating at the airport location, but it was easy to take the food to go to eat at a concourse. read more

Really great to see one of the OG, and my personal favorite, Hot Chicken spot in the airport. This Prince's oddly sits alone and is located on the way to Concourse D. Given its location, there is never a long wait, so it makes a perfect spot to swing by when in a rush through the airport. While I am not the biggest fan of hot chicken before a flight, I do enjoy swinging by Prince's once I have landed back in Nashville. Always great to scoop up a tender combo for the road home! However, I do make an exception for breakfast, as the chicken tends to be a bit less aggressive and traveler friendly. The chicken biscuit or the burrito, depending on my hunger level, are usually solid options. With that, my only gripe is the biscuits themselves. Sometimes they are too crumbly and do not hold up well, or on the flipside where they are a little tough. It is honestly hit and miss. Service is solid here, I think a bit better than other quick service spots due to their customer volume. But whatever it is contributed to, I like it. The space is always clean and well maintained. Overall, enjoy having this Prince's in the airport! read more

Okay, Nashville Hot chicken is world-famous now (we even saw it being offered in Canada) and I had some time at the Nashville airport and decided to try some. There were several other hot chicken spots but this looked to be the quickest. I just got the regular "hot" chicken sandwich and fries, nothing too crazy-hot. I have to say, it was okay but not incredible. I thought it would be more special, but at the end of the day, I could have just added a bunch of hot sauce to my a piece of fried chicken at home and called it good. I can check it off my list now. read more

I had a long layover at BNA and the one stop that was a must was Prince's. I got four chicken tenders, medium, but regret not going hotter. Crinkle fries are great and the service was fast. The only negative was the price-- both for the meal itself and having to pay extra for dipping sauce (although the honey mustard is so good it's worth it). read more

Prince's Hot Chicken - Four chicken tenders medium, crinkle fries, honey mustard - Chicken Shop Near Me - Nashville, Tennessee

Cannot recommend, DISAPPOINTED **there are NO tables & chairs to eat at. The terminal was crowded and we needed to walk a ways to find open seats at a distant gate. Went here inside the BNA airport expecting to have good Nashville hot fried chicken. They did not sell actual chicken pieces. Had the 4-piece Chicken Tenders, which comes w a slice of white bread, 4 pickle slices, and dipping sauce. $13.20 + $1.29 tax. The tenders had a decent size, BUT they were dry and chewy. Seriously, Carl's Jr. chicken tenders are so much better - they're freshly fried, tender and moist. For real. I will not come here again. Using the self-service kiosk the order was ready in one minute which might indicate the chicken had not recently been cooked and had been sitting under a heat lamp, which would explain why it was dry and chewy. read more

I appreciate the self serve kiosk and the food coming out fast in an airport setting. Is it super fresh? Got my order within a minute so probably had some tenders pre fried and just needed to dust the spice to order, which I'm fine with for this experience. Bread and pickles are whatever but the chicken tenders are still good. Juicy, good fry to be crisp and the heat level is what you get. There's less options than the main ones in town but it'll tickle the itch. Price isn't bad either. Not as good as the one South or the food hall but you could do way worse for the airport good experience. read more

I flew through the Nashville airport and had 5 hours for a layover. I tried both Prince's hot chicken and Hattie B's and Prince's was far better. I ordered the same spice levels at both and was disappointed in Hattie B's. Prince's however was mouth tingling, spicy and flavorful without being too hot. It was fresh and delicious and amazing. I wish they were open all day Sunday, I'll have to try to get some another time soon when I fly back through. read more

When in Nashville,... had to get the Hot To-Go chicken! They have a kiosk to order, but they also have a register. Takes only about 10 minutes for them to cook it up fresh. Shouldn't be too bad if you have a layover connection to make. Eat it there or eat it at your gate. I got the four chicken tenders and it was a very healthy portion size. They put white bread on the bottom to absorb any extra sauce so the chicken doesn't get soggy, which I really appreciated. The fries weren't that great so I would pass on them next time. I would only caution that it is hot. I got the medium and it was very spicy--but good flavor. I wanted to try this one since it was considered more OG to the trend. Cheers! read more

Alright - this place was in the airport....and I'm not really a "hot" chicken guy (so I ordered the most mild thing they had) nut it was tasty. It's always nice when you are in an airport and you can order something pretty decent and local. This was good in that respect. Basic counter service and then we took it with us to eat elsewhere (which honestly was the most viable choice). Worth a stop while you are in the airport and looking for something interesting to eat. read more

We didn't get a chance to try this when we were in the city so we were very happy when we saw they had a Prince's at the airport. But this was the worst chicken we had in Nashville. We ordered medium but there was no spices on the chicken, it was not spicy at all. The chicken tenders were only a little bit crispy and was bone dry. I couldn't even finish 1 tender because it was like eating cardboard. It was so bad, we threw the rest away. And we are not people who throw away food easily. No seating, take out only place where you can order on a touchscreen. read more

Not a horrible airport dining experience. Hot Chicken is popular in Nashville so I decided to grab a bite while waiting for my layover. The self-serve kiosks were very easy and it was only $14 for 4 tenders which comes with bread & pickles. The food was almost instantly ready which makes me think the chicken is pre-fried, but that's okay with me. Service lady was friendly and the food was decent. Mild was pretty darn spicy but the chicken was juicy and well-seasoned. Bread and pickles were very plain. No huge complaints overall. read more

Ordered a breakfast burrito from here before my flight back home. The service was great! They had kiosks to order from if you're not in the mood to talk to anyone, but I ordered at the counter so I could get some modifications (no cheese!). I ordered mine hot, and it definitely had some kick! Was a little oily, but the chicken was hot, fresh, and crispy. The portion was filling and generous in relation to the price. The woman at the counter was so sweet and made great conversation. Just a takeout spot, no tables for dining. I wish this place could come home with me! read more

I've never been a big fan of Nashville Hot Chicken, but I decided to try it at the source--Prince's Hot Chicken in Nashville. I went for the medium heat 1/2 chicken, with seasoned crinkle-cut fries and mac & cheese on the side. The chicken was outstanding--crispy on the outside, moist and juicy on the inside. The spice level was spot-on, giving just the right amount of heat. The sides were solid: the fries were well-seasoned and crunchy, while the mac & cheese was creamy and comforting, just as you'd hope. A glass of sweet tea rounded out the meal perfectly. After trying Prince's, I'm a convert. This was easily some of the best fried chicken I've had in a long time, and it made me appreciate Nashville Hot Chicken the way it's meant to be. read more

I was here for some business meetings. During my scheduled flight home, I decided to take the opportunity to try this place for Nashville Hot Chicken which I learned about during a food show. I enjoy the Hot chicken and this place did not disappoint. Many places boast hot, but not even close. I opted for the chicken salad with Level Hot chicken strips cut up into the salad. The chicken was seasoned well to begin with and the spicy layer & level was on point. The lady that delivered my order to the counter was very friendly and professional. Just an FYI, if you order a bottle drink at the airport location, make sure you grab it from their chiller, on your own. They do not pack it for you. read more

Had time to kill so I decided to eat at the other hot chicken spot I read about. You can place your order the counter or self service kiosk. I chose the kiosk as the associate didn't seem friendly. Easy enough to follow. Paid and waited for my order. They also have beverages in a refrigerator in addition to the soda fountain. And bags of chips. I ordered the chicken tenders with fries. Medium hot. The spice level is more spicy than Hattie B's. The chicken tenders were not that tender but a good serving size. The fries were average. My preference is still the other brand. But for spice level Prince's is king. Associates were ok. Not friendly. read more

This was the first hot chicken spot I tried in Nashville. I tried it in the airport as I was waiting for my flight back home. Food - Salad with Extra Hot Tenders: The salad itself was not bad. Good vegetables and lots of dressing options. I got the balsamic vinaigrette which was pretty good. The extra hot tenders were juicy and good pieces of chicken. The tenders were cut up. However, the flavor was so one dimensional. There was no flavor, no spice. I ordered the spiciest level on the menu, but it was not spicy to me. It also just tasted like salty seasoning, no real flavor to the chicken unfortunately. I was disappointed since this was my first Nashville hot chicken experience. Hot Chicken Tenders: The hot chicken tenders were the same as the extra hot one just less salty, so I did enjoy the hot ones a bit more. But still, would not get it again. Side Fries: Good fries! I do like their honey mustard sauce and fries. The honey mustard was rich and sweet, and the fries were nicely crispy on the outside and not too dense on the inside. Light seasoning was nice too. Service - Good and fast. At the airport so everything is to go. No complaints here! Ambiance - Again, it's at the airport so it is just a small little to go store. read more
