Hattie B's

Top choice in Nashville


When it comes to hot chicken supremacy, based on sheer numbers, Hattie B's reigns supreme in Nashville. The ultra-popular fried chicken spot serves up moist, high-quality birds, which come devilishly fried to levels that top out at 'Shut the Cluck Up!' hot, and it means business (nose-runnin', head-itchin' 'Damn Hot' was our limit). Get in line.

Hattie B's is building its empire with locations scattered throughout the city (Nashville West, Nashville Melrose), the state (Memphis) and the country (Birmingham, Atlanta and Las Vegas).
