You head up to the counter and let them know what you'd like and your spice level. I got the catfish sandwich medium heat and it had a nice little kick to it. 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.

Hot Chickenus Supremus…read more I make it a point to try and visit at least one Hot Chicken place whenever I'm in the Nashville area. On a recent visit to the area I decided to hit up one of the places I had on my list for a while, Moore's Spicy Fried Chicken in Hendersonville. Moor's has been around for years and many a Hot Chicken Fan has visited this place. Moore serves up freshly made Fried, Hot, Spicy and Mild Chicken as well as Smoked Brisket and some other favourites. During my visit to Moore's iI just happened to be served by one of the owners/founders of Moore's. We had a great conversation talking about Hot Chicken, its history, and places that have come and gone. To keep things simple since it was lunch, I ordered a breast with medium spice and crinkle fries. My chicken was made from scratch and it took about 20 minutes for the whole process. When I received my chicken it was HOT, juicy, tender and fresh and with the perfect amount of crispiness. Even though In ordered my chicken mild, I was still wiping sweat off my face while I ate my meal. it was a very good Hot Chicken meal and one of the best I've had in a while. If you are a fan of Hot Chicken, check out Moore's for yourself !!!

This location in…read moreHendersonville is the closest to us on the east side of the city, so when we make our way anywhere remotely near, we always stop to grab a few tenders! While Slim Chickens is far from life-altering, it is consistent, fresh and tasty! Never had any issues with our food orders, which normally consist of tender meals, a side, drink and sauce. I always side my tenders with fried okra, and the fact that I can do this makes me beyond happy! While my order stays consistent, I usually switch up the dipping sauces. They have quite a list that I have yet to make it all the way through, but we are trying. They cook to order here, so the food is always piping hot and solid when it hits the table. Only gripe with this location is the service can be hit and miss at the counter. Never rude, but forgetful or disinterested. Overall, we enjoy Slim Chickens and are happy to see them popping up everywhere!

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.

Grandaddy's Original Hot Chicken - Nashville, TN…read more Grandaddy's is the kind of place that reminds you why Nashville hot chicken is such a phenomenon. I came here because of Yelp and the reviews that drew me in were absolutely right. From the start the hospitality stood out. Tim, the owner, came out to greet me, and I immediately noticed he was wearing a Lakers hat. I told him I was from LA and we connected right there. He showed me some things and we ended up having a quick back-and-forth about it. That kind of personal connection does not happen everywhere, and it gave the visit an even more genuine feel. Kim was working the counter and she carried the same warmth. She was kind, attentive, and went the extra mile by walking me through the menu item by item. That kind of care makes a difference because it shows she wants people to enjoy the food and get what fits them best. When a restaurant has staff who make you feel like you matter, it sets the stage for everything else. I went with the three chicken tenders along with fried corn and greens. The greens come cooked with pork, which I do not eat, so I could only sample a little. Even so, the flavor came through and they were well seasoned. The fried corn was something different and turned out to be a highlight on its own, sweet and savory with just the right texture. Now the chicken. This is where Grandaddy's shines. The tenders were incredibly tender, almost to the point where you wonder what magic they are working in the kitchen. In other words, they had good meat. The quality was impressive and every bite was juicy. What really put it over the top was the crispiness. The crust had that perfect crunch that holds its own bite after bite, not soggy or greasy, just clean and bold. That balance of texture and flavor is what hot chicken is supposed to be. I have had Nashville-style hot chicken in different places around the country, and there are some strong contenders out there. But after eating here I see why Nashville owns the name. There is a depth of flavor and execution that feels rooted here, and Grandaddy's delivers it in a way that makes you understand the hype. The price is right, the service feels genuine, and the food speaks clearly for itself. If you are visiting the city or even if you are local and want a new favorite spot, Grandaddy's Original Hot Chicken should be on your list.

So I was coming back home from my Sunday night hockey game and as I passed what I call "Restaurant…read moreRow", I realized I had nothing to eat for dinner. Or rather, I didn't feel like cooking. It was 7 o'clock and I just had Edley's the Wednesday prior at their Murphy Road location. I was craving those ribs again, so I made a U-turn and went back. Being so "late" on a Sunday in the suburbs, it wasn't very busy at all. Nobody was at the front register for several minutes until someone peeked around at the to-go area and told someone else. As you may know, I'm a man of habit. I ordered nearly the exact same thing as I always do at Edley's but swapped up the sides. Half Slab St. Louis Ribs platter, Chess Pie, but Grits Casserole and Collard Greens. If there's a vegetable side dish I love more than any other, it's any kind of greens. The fact that they had them (they normally aren't on the menu) was a no brainer. The grits casserole was a last minute swap up but I'm glad I tried them. Now, the thing with going late to any restaurant, especially barbecue joints is that the food tends to "age" as the day goes on. Like, your food isn't as "fresh" as if you came earlier in the day. I knew this going in but I wanted to point this out. The greens were delicious but because I went in late in the day, they were super tangy from the vinegar being cooked down over time. They had a nice heat to them and the leaves were overly cooked, but I enjoyed them nevertheless. The grits casserole had a nice rich cheesey flavor incorporated into them. Just like the collard greens, there was a subtle heat that sat on your tongue after the initial bite. The cornbread was fantastic. Warm, sweet, with also a heat kick to them. Lastly the ribs hit the spot, just like I expected them to. Compared to the other Edley's (where I went during prime time lunch), these were a little dry but they had the same flavor profile. Meaty, fatty, and tangy-sweet with that nice crunch of cartilage at the end. I ended up taking my chess pie home to heat up in the microwave (who eats cold pie)?? As always, it was fantastic. The only reason this wasn't as good as the other review is because I came at the end of the day and the food "sat" over time in their warmers and such. Like I said in my prior review for the Murphy Rd Edley's, Edley's has always been consistent no matter which location I go to and that's why it still gets a 5*.

That was in the pre Covid times & place made me remember how great that it was having a Mexican lunch buffet nearby. The inside of the restaurant is simple, clean, and the staff are very attentive. There was a note on the door that said their last day at that location will be May 17 and there is a for lease sign in the parking lot. They said they are going to relocate in the area & I hope so. because we cannot afford to lose another Mexican lunch buffet spot. We've already sacrificed so much as a society in the name of progress, but we must retain our access to queso dip via a daily lunch buffet or what is the point of all of this?

Review for Alex Taco and Wing - Madison, TN…read more Went to Alex Taco and Wing tonight for dinner, and even though we did takeout because I wasn't in the mood to dine out, it turned into an amazing meal at home! Drinks: They offer authentic Mexican soda, and my partner tried an original Pepsi. He swears it tastes different -- in a good way! Food: I ordered the steak street tacos, and wow -- the steak was incredibly tender and perfectly seasoned. The meat was flavorful and juicy. They also give you plenty of sauces to go with your meal, which is always a win. My partner had the quesadillas, and I snagged a bite -- delicious! The meat inside was tender and juicy, with just the right amount of seasoning and melty cheese. We also shared the lemon pepper wings. These wings were smaller (which I love because you know they're not injected or overly processed), and the flavor was absolutely bussin' -- so, so good. Crispy, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The meal also came with fresh tortillas and salsa. The food itself also tastes authentic, which I absolutely loved. The inside of the restaurant was super clean with lots of seating available. It's decorated really cute, with a very authentic Mexican vibe that makes you feel like you've stepped into a little piece of Mexico. Parking & Service: The restaurant has plenty of parking right out front -- one of the perks of being away from downtown. Service was quick and friendly. The woman who took our order was super nice and made sure everything was handled fast and accurately. Even though the restaurant wasn't busy when we picked up our food, the quality was top-notch. Everything tasted fresh and homemade. Highly, highly recommend Alex Taco and Wings! If I could give them more than five stars, I would. Can't wait to go back and try more from the menu.
