BradBrad: The hot chicken is WAY less spicy than Prince's in Nashville. If you want it that hot you have to go above the Tweener level. Great food but not a replica for Nashville-style hot chicken.

Joey C.Joey Couch: I would recommend the spicy hot chicken strips with the thin fry it makes for an excellent meal along with their Southern style fried chicken quarters is well.

R B.R B: Hot chicken is delicious! Large portions for inexpensive prices. Chicken & Waffles is mouthwatering.
