@operator0 3 года назад

The location they are shooting at for Prince's is the second location that was opened up a few years ago. The original location burnt down in a fire when some drunk lady drove her car into an alcohol and tobacco store located at the strip mall where the original Prince's was located The fire burnt that store down, a nail salon next to it and half of Prince's. As far as I know, the strip mall still hasn't been fixed.

I've had hattie b's several times, it's pretty good. I'd say the hot chicken sandwich is their best menu item, also the "comeback" sauce is better than any other sauce. I tried "damn hot" which is the 4th hottest lvl (mild, med, hot, damn hot, and the cluckin) and I was taking like 5 min breaks after every couple of bites, that shit is hot af. I wouldn't wait in that ridiculous line tho, I always order delivery.

Just visited them yesterday and I loved it. Yes, the line outside was a bit slow but I ordered the Hot Chicken Sandwich and 2 Mild WIngs. The wings were not 'hot' at all but they were indeed really good and bigger than I expected, served with Ranch dip. The Hot Chicken Sandwich was only mildly spicy but it also was slammin' good and quite filling. With a Sprite that was $22 and I am very glad I went and would go again. But if you are looking for 'spicy' then try Damn Hot or Shut the Cluck Up.

@GINAHUGHESshoalsfleamarket 4 года назад

I so agree with you both 100%. I have tried them all except Pepperfire. Party fowl flavor, texture and crunch is the best and their Chips beat out any of the other biring french fries. I felt like their fries were cooked in the same grease as the chicken. All had the same flavors at Princes and Hattie B’s Wish I like them more, since they are cheaper... Will pay more for the best flavors!!!

Still go to that place, and I always try to get something spicy, something to tingle my mouth, especially the Shut The Cluck Up. Pure, flaming heat in a basket.

@calegoethals4575 3 года назад

You guys definitely tried the good spots in Nashville. Pepperfire was the best in my opinion until they switched management, then the consistency went downhill and now they aren’t even open. Party fowl is wicked hot but taste wise is lacking something and the chicken is on the dryer side. That leaves Hattie Bs and princes. You gotta love princes but often they fry their chicken in the same oil as they fry their fish. Hattie Bs is the most consistent and has the best flavor around, hands down. Their sides are incredible as well. Hattie bs takes my vote!!!
