Is HATTIE B's Worth The Hype? Trying Nashville's Iconic Hot Chicken Spot

[@K3mbusm]

I'm glad you enjoyed it, but Hattie B's is nowhere near the level of the classic hot chicken places like Prince's, Bolton's, 400 Degrees, etc... Hattie B's was built to be a chain restaurant & tourist restaurant. You won't find many locals there. The original, Prince's is much more flavorful. I also recommend bone-in for a more authentic experience. Thanks for the review!

[@zacharycrooks3729]

Yes thank you!!!

[@diuneimaaaaaa]

Princes is just heat

[@thaddeusjohnson4752]

you wasted your time if you went to Nashville and didn't go to the ORIGINAL Prince's Nashvilke Hot fried chicken... hell even stop at Bolton's or Helen's!!!! they ask better than Hattie Bs

[@K3mbusm]

​@@thaddeusjohnson4752 Yes, sir! Locals know the real spots.

[@noahkessler5500]

I agree def hit princes for the best chicken however I think Hattie bs has the best sandwich of all the chicken places idk what it is but they just make it perfect however most the time you don’t go to one of those places for a sandwich but you couldn’t have said it better

[@michaelgiordano2093]

UA , you're always such a kind person. I absolutely love your videos. I wish you could several videos a week. Keep up the great work. 😁👍

[@letapearson2043]

Hi there UA! Love your videos, I like the way you do your food reviews! You show viewers the food without showing it too close, you speak coherently, and whatever you say makes sense! Keep up the good work! 💕👍

[@eeship]

Prince's Hot Chicken, that’s the one and only original!

[@davidmckesey7119]

Phenomenal

[@kevinbernatek7875]

Very good!

Gotta try Prince’s!! That’s the elite ORIGINAL, Nashville hot chicken.

[@charlescalvert8273]

Appreciate your depth of reviews...Thanks

[@rockoutconsiderably]

Loved Hattie B's when I went there in 2014. Great review UA. Wish there was some more background music but very nice and balanced take!

[@jeffs.4313]

Great review, UA! Keep up the great work! I am looking forward to your next review.

I got the Damn Hot from the Nashville store about 11pm one night and it was next level! I had an out of body experience and the next day….. fire

I’m from Nashville. This location is right by music row and the bars there. They stay open late too so if you’re in Nashville and go to the Midtown bars you can fill up on chicken and Mac n cheese at 2am after drinking all day. It’s less busy after midnight 😂

[@dalehaynes9143]

Glad you enjoyed UA. The pudding is the absolute best. Thank you for sharing !

[@airun130]

We were there a couple month's ago. Outstanding. Got the sandwich, one mild one medium with pimento cheese. Probably the best chicken sandwich we ever had. Sides were greens and cheese n grits which also were great. Long line but went fast. Staff was A++++++. We also tried Prince's. That also was good but a bit dry.

[@JACKLVNV]

Always great. UA, I really enjoy every video. More Tina---- Make her a star.

[@ObjectsInSpace]

They opened a location near me. Absolutely love them. Not pricey either. $10 for chicken, two sides and bread. I’ve done the hottest. It’s an experience. 😂

[@TheWilliam7606]

I went to the OG location in nashville its EASILY the best chicken ive had and the sides are really good too. I went back to back days!

[@uaeats]

Best chicken I've ever had? That's tough, I have other spots I like too, but it's for sure the best hot chicken I've had hands down

[@1189paris]

UA Nashville has one of the best BBQ I ever had at The Peg Leg Porker.

[@jdweberg]

Really? I haven't been there but Nashville isn't exactly known for BBQ. How does it compare to Jacks, Martin's, or Mission - all pretty good spots for Nashville?

[@trentbateman]

:41 dang UA you cut away from the cake too early!

[@ianm2170]

How can he not know that a wing drumette is not a drumstick? Two completely different parts of the chicken. It looked like a tourist trap, but then he's a tourist. Tina sounds fun.

[@samuraidoggy]

Yeah he should be ashamed. This channel is going down, fast.

[@ChuckWyld]

The best hot chicken in Nashville is actually Prince's chicken. It's the locals favorite.

"It's almost like sweet tea was tea with half a container of sugar dumped in" 🤣lmao UA welcome to the south, that's exactly what sweet tea is! Hope you can make it to Charleston, SC some time...some great restaurants here. You should do a southern tour... Go to New Orleans too!

[@cr8zie]

Going to Hattie B’s for hot chicken is pretty much like a tourist going to NYC for the first time and getting Joe’s Pizza.

[@bubz4196]

joes pizza is great though. Pretty much a quintessential new york style slice

[@roscoepcoltrane23]

Next time try Bolton’s or Princes. I like Bolton’s. They don’t play on the spice.

[@hemaccabe4292]

I’ve been to Hattie Bs. Very good. Not best ever, but good. Also good value for food. The peach cobbler was divine.

[@tigerpinky]

I am just as jealous of this meal as I am your pastrami meals! Altho the hot ones would be for me... spice it up!

[@dustinseth1]

People drag Hattie’s for hipster cred, but taste wise it’s one of the best.

[@greasyy1]

Hey UA cool video! The chicken looked nice and greasy.

[@HolisticPatriots]

Southern Mac and Cheese and Sweet Tea are the best!

[@Violet-fj8yd]

I would have ordered the peach cobbler.

[@Zukkoyaki]

Hattie B's is a tourist trap BUT it's still pretty fire.

[@kevinbernatek7875]

Born and raised near Nashville. Prince’s is great and hot. But Hattie B’s is the hottest. I can do any hot chicken restaurants hottest spice and be good. But Hattie B’s…will kick your ass! Always get plenty of ranch! Mends the spices and flavors very nicely. Also, hot chicken can be messy, so always try the tenders first. Leg quarters are good, too!

[@OldHickoryBourbonClub]

I eat Hattie B's regularly and it is more consistent then Prince's. If you are a first timer get chicken with bones not tenders to get the best experience. You can order an extra tender of the damn hot or shut the cluck up if you want to amp up the heat.

[@AvocatDude]

Ya, it’s cabbage salad with mayo, lol. AKA Cole slaw. That cracked me up.

[@whskymr]

Tenders aren’t the way. Order the pieces, always better

[@salinator5966]

Especially if you have leftovers. Tenders are impossible to reheat without it getting hard as a rock and dryer than Vegas.

[@cliffgaither]

@whskymr :: It's hard to even consider "tenders" as fried chicken ; yet, many restaurants classify tenders as fried chicken.

[@kevinbernatek7875]

I feel you. I love the tenders the most, but the leg quarters are great, too!

[@kevinbernatek7875]

@@salinator5966not if you use an air fryer or put in the microwave with a food splash cover… 😊

[@Mark-oq6nn]

Next time you’re in Nashville you really need to travel out to Loveless cafe it’s an awesome place to eat.!

[@HayTatsuko]

Even though Hattie B's doesn't go as hot as the OG Hot Chicken, Prince's, Shut the Cluck Up!!! is no joke. I had some during my last visit to Nashville and it was an eye-watering good time. Was definitely a personal dare, but I think I'll be sticking with the Hot Damn!! in the future, because it tastes a lot better to me. Hope I can get Prince's next visit!

[@kerafyrm_]

Viewers, if you like hot and spicy food, trust me, order the hot at Hattie B's. It'll burn for non spicy lovers, but its great for those that enjoy spicy food and its not burning dying hot.

[@danlo5]

The levels of spiciness for hot chicken vary GREATLY from spot to spot. I couldn't take the heat from the medium level at Howlin' Rays in LA, but the hot level at Dave's Hot Chicken is pretty comfortably my go-to. Judging by your reaction here, it looks like Hattie B's is closer to Howlin' Rays as far as the levels 🤣

[@michaelsellers5144]

Ready to move to the south.

[@therealcyber5]

we woke up late in Nashville and didnt have time to grab any when we were there...

[@demst046]

Looks terrific!

[@fredbrown2866]

Hattie B's sounds like Dave's Hot Chicken; excellent for franchise but local places might be better. I had Prince's and made the mistake of getting medium. I ate it but my stomach wasn't happy. Overall, they are all very good.

[@barberjeff67]

To me, hot doesn't make it more flavorful, it just makes it hot and unenjoyable for me. I can't enjoy Mexican or Indian food due to its spicy nature.

For the full experience u need to get bone in chicken breast....and what happen to gritz???

[@acrophobe]

15:38 what drives me nuts about generic chain cole slaw like this and like the ones you can find at KFC and your local deli are they're so watery and soupy and the cabbage and veg are shredded up so fine they might as well be a puree. all you have to do is shred the veg in large enough strips that it still has crunchy texture, and appropriately season and sauce the slaw without adding too much vinegar. it's REALLY not that hard. it's like all these companies deliberately try so hard to screw up a good thing that is SO easy to make well. I will never understand.

[@K.I.N.G234]

Bro reviewed the pudding more than the chicken😂😂😂😂

You had two items on your table to help cut the spice of the chicken in your mouth. Tea isn't one of them. Dairy. Eat some mac and cheese, or if desperate, go for the banana pudding.

We have Hattie B chicken in Dallas Texas. Deep ellum

Magnolia Bakery has the best banana pudding in my opinion... and I'm not just saying that because I'm from NYC

[@Ewong096]

i don't agree with the comments that says Prince is better. It is not. The servers were extremely slow at Prince, Hattie B is far superior. I tried a lot of hot chicken with Nashville spices. Peaches Hot House in Bushwick is better than prince. Hattie B is very good.

You don’t get out much. Even McDonalds has sweet tea. The solution to it being too sweet is to mix it with unsweetened tea. At the drive up window you just ask for half and half.

[@uwgbfella]

half full sides, typical restaurant now a days value is long gone, its all about profits now

[@cliffgaither]

I noticed the half portions, too, especially the coleslaw. This place takes too many shortcuts and the food and presentation suffer. Whenever you see a pickle on top of chicken, it's not a sign of good things to come. The food didn't look appetizing. They hide the lack of quality by blowing your head off with hot and spicy.

[@erikdaniels0n]

Hattie B’s has only been open since 2012?! Given how long Prince’s Hot Chicken has been open, I figured tit had been around for at least 30-40 years, if not more

[@uaeats]

I've had both. I think Hattie B's is better. I wanted to review Prince's this time but didn't have time, but hopefully someday!

The best fried chicken I ever had was Willie Mae's in New Orleans.

[@LoyaltyRewardStamps]

Hattie B’s is good but it’s not one of the classic or OG spots. I don’t know anyone who is actually from Nashville or who has been there for a long time that actually goes there or it’s there regular spot. I would also suggest asking locals about the OG and classic spots that have food that REALLY hits if you go back to Nashville. There are some really great soul food restaurants you need to visit!
