“Quite simply, the best chicken I have ever eaten! I was visiting Nashville, and had to try hot chicken. I heard this place is top notch, so I waited in like like everyone else. The line moves quick, but expect to wait about 30-45 minutes. Let me tell you though, what a wait it was worth.I got the half birdy (which I recommend wholeheartedly) and it was phenomenal. So juicy and tender. The spice level was just right, snd the price was very fair. I’m already missing this place now that I am home.Job well done! Simply sensational and now I see what the hype was about!“

“Everything a out of towner was expecting. Very busy when then we went but line moved smoothly, had beers while we waited to order. Asked for a recommendation and was directed towards the half chicken because you could get the light and dark meat seasoned differently. Got the mild and damn hot (it was). But holy moly! Hot, juicy and extremely flavorful but so much that it over powered the flavor of the chicken itself.Next up was the reason I wanted to try it so bad, The chicken sandwich. And to me, it was like a I has died and gone to chicken sandwich heaven. Between the perfectly soft and firm bun to the amazing crunch and flavor(HOT) of the chicken itself and the incredible slaw on top adding the yet another delicious layer to the masterpiece.10/10Will go again.Need more locations nation wide.“

“Had to stop at the "original" source of nashville hot chicken and phew, am I glad I did. Definitely a different taste from some of the others! I've had some spots that have sweeter spice, some with spicey spice, but this was perfectly balanced. I didn't even have a chance to take a photo it was so good. As soon as thay first bite of medium level heat hit my lips, it was over! The whole half bird order was gone before I even knew what happened. And them greens!!!! Go get you some of the king of nashville hot chicken!“

“I was visiting from Australia and was taken to Party Fowl by a friend because they knew I loved chicken....and it did not disappoint. Chicken was perfectly cooked, and there was a great selection of heat levels in the spice. I also found the beer glasses with a hole in the bottom, blocked by a magnet, very unique. I would definitely go back when I'm next in Nashville.“

“Burger & tots were from Pharmacy Burgers next door which I highly recommend. But for Prince's, I gotta say it was still damn good but did not live up to the hype of being the original "Nashville" Hot Chicken venue. Back home there is a local spot that the owners met Prince & got a little advice on how he made the recipe & sorry, but they perfected it so this wasn't as amazing as I hoped, BUT I still recommend for hot chicken lovers! The quality is still high, for as busy as they were the service was great, & overall I was still happy to try the OG of hot chicken & wish I didn't have stomach issues nowadays to have felt up to getting the xxx-hot because the xx-hot wasn't as hot as I assumed, but if I get another chance I definitely will go for the xxx! Again, overall I am greatly satisfied, but will probably try another location as the crowded mall scene really isn't my thing.Kid-friendliness: Got the plain tenders & fries for my kids, they loved it!“

A lot of places are boasting about how their food brings the heat yet it still lacks in flavor, the food that they serve at 400 degrees does not lack in heat or in flavor whatsoever! It comes out freshly cooked served with bread which soaks up all those delicious and spicy juices for you to enjoy! Added bonus they have a secret menu the level of heat does not just stop at 400 degrees it can go up to 900!!!!“
