Nashville Hot Chicken - Chicago: Reviews & Ratings

Really high quality and delicious hot chicken! Chicken was very tender, juicy, flavorful and high quality meat. Fries and Mac n cheese also so good. And the pink sauce is amazing! Can’t wait to go back already. The space and decor/art inside is also very nice.

Came in during their soft opening. Staff was welcoming and gave friendly guidance of the menu. Took it home, food was hot and prepared with care. We got the chicken sando (very hot) waffle sando (hot), and popcorn chicken. All were well seasoned and met the criteria for what I’d expect for this style of food. This is a great affordable and craveable addition to the neighborhood.

Surprised to see all of the low ratings on here. We really liked the food! We ordered the Chicken Waffle Sando at a Mild Cyrus spice level, the Chicken Sando at a hot spice level, an order of Waffle Fries, an order of the Mac and Cheese, and an order of the Popcorn Shrimp. My favorite was the Chicken Waffle Sando, it was better than I even expected it to be and they even give you a side of syrup for it that tastes so good when you dip it. I didn’t love the Mac and Cheese, I thought it was just ok but it was actually my husband’s favorite thing we ordered. I thought the popcorn shrimp was great, similar quality and taste to getting popcorn shrimp at Red Lobster and very good dipped in the pink sauce. You could also definitely tell the difference between the mild and hot sauce on the sandwiches, the hot was nice and spicy! We had it delivered and it was very fast delivery service! Overall a great experience and would recommend it and would order from here again.

Price is quite higher than I'm used to. What you see on the tray was 21$ I paid extra for the onion rings. Which there is barely any. Had to pay another 3 for the soda. Which they had neither Pepsi or cherry Pepsi because it ran out. The quantity is small overall and the flavor is OK, but nothing special. You don't see people unless food is coming out. Which in this day is fine with me

I had the "Sando" with the blazing sauce and it's a good sandwich really good to be exact. My only issue is how small the sandwich is I took about 3 bites and it was gone. I would definitely be back to try the punisher sauce on some loaded fries.
