Hands down the BEST Nashville hot chicken I’ve ever had. I mean just LOOK at it! I got the chicken tenders plate with the *Hot* spice level and it was worth every penny.

Showed up 5 min before they even opened and there was already a line! A good sign that what you're about to have is awesome. I debated the dirty bird sandwich but needed it to be a little less messy so go the Crunchwrap in HOT. It has pimento Mac and cheese, pickles, bacon and comeback sauce inside. I have a higher…
