The food was so fried and overcooked that I thought I would have to use a Jaws-of life saw to eat it! I was very disappointed! The white beans were good but took almost an hour to cool so I could eat them. I got the breast plate and the only thing I ate was the beans! Wasted 20 dollars in my opinion!

This place has some GOOOOOOOOOD fried chicken. Probably some of my favorite! There location isn't too big, or too small. The staff has always been pretty friendly. I haven't had a bad experience with this place so far.
Not overly impressed with the food. Note I did take home with me before I ate, about 35 minutes

Love me some nashville hot chicken and these guys knock it out of the park constantly and consistently. Big juicy tenders unlike some of the others.

I ordered the chicken sandwich and beans. I didn't expect anything exciting with those options, but WOW. They both blew me away with how good they both were.

Love the food here! However, if The menu says one thing the order taker says something else! Not happy with the inconsistency! If the menu says 2 sides you should get 2 sides!

Great Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders. Nice juicy chicken. I've only had the Rambo heat level (level 4 of 5) , and it's not too hot at all. I've had the collard greens and the Mac and cheese as side dishes, and both are fantastic.The prices here are nice and cheap considering the quality of food you get here. The service staff are all nice and friendly. Love this place. I try to come every time I'm come to Tennessee to visit family.Please try it, you'll like it.

Seems to be hit or miss.Our food was super fresh, hot, and the spice was awesome. I ordered the Ghost Fries and my friends both ordered the Jumbo Chicken Tenders Platter. Two orders came out quickly, the other seemed to be forgotten until she walked up and asked where her food was. It was fresh and delicious when it came out but she didn't get to eat her food at the restaurant because it took so long and we had places to be.My ghost fries were fresh and crunchy, not soggy, yay. And they add a lot of flavor, spice, and chicken in the basket. Parking was a little difficult to find but not horrible. The place was clean and the hostess was pleasant.The food really is great, and the portions are nice; they just need to work on filling the orders instead of forgetting customers.
I'm a huge fan of Nashville hot chicken, and I've been on a quest to find the best in the city. I'm happy to report that I've finally found my holy grail: Big Shake's Nashville Hot Chicken Columbia.I ordered the medium heat, and it was the perfect level of spice. The chicken was crispy and juicy, and the sauce was flavorful and addictive. I also loved the sides, especially the mac and cheese and the coleslaw.The service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was casual and inviting. I can't wait to go back and try the other heat levels!Directions:If you're coming from Maury County, TN, it's just a short 13-minute drive via US-412 BUS.Here are some of the things I liked about Big Shake's Nashville Hot Chicken Columbia:The chicken is crispy and juicy.The sauce is flavorful and addictive.The sides are delicious.The service is friendly and efficient.The atmosphere is casual and inviting.I would definitely recommend Big Shake's Nashville Hot Chicken Columbia to anyone looking for a delicious and authentic Nashville hot chicken experience.I hope this review is helpful!

The floor was sticky. Not a great first impression as you walk in. I got the chicken tenders and cat fish with the #3 seasoning. It wasn't even close to hot. In fact, the seasoning was barely detectable. Still, the food was cooked well. I'm just disappointed in the heat. I'd try it 1 more time, just to be fair. But, my 1st impression is that it's underwhelming.

We ate here right when they opened at 11am on a Saturday morning. It was very nice not to have to deal with big crowds because we have driven by here on the weekends and seen this place get packed so this time gave us a chance to really take in the scenery. The staff are super friendly.I'm sure what everyone wants to know is how is the food?I ordered the 3 tender(original no spice) with Mac and cheese and a fish taco with "crybaby"(lowest level of spice). I loved the chicken tenders themselves, they were large and juicy/moist. I would suggest going to at least crybaby on the seasoning though, because you can't really taste any flavoring on the original. The Mac and cheese is in my top 3 of amazing creamy Mac and cheese. Definitely an excellent choice. As for the fish taco I got that with crybaby seasoning and the spice hits harder on the fish than the chicken I think but it was good flavoring. The only issue I had with the fish taco with it seemed like there was a lot of breading on the fish.My wife ordered the chicken tenders and waffles (crybaby seasoning)with fries. She said the fries were good but nothing special, just like most places. The waffles were really good and the chicken was really moist and delicious. We both agree that the seasoning (crybaby)was really good on the chicken, and recommended that be the lowest level to try as it gives you a nice flavor without building heat in your mouth. I would place it lower than mild wings at most places heat wise.We plan to come back again and try some hotter levels. My wife loves hot food and I'm on the mild side for reference. Definitely worth a stop at if you are in the area.Parking: The restaurant is located just off the main square and is easy walking distance if you are touring that area. You can find free parking all up and down the road.
