    Chicken was well cooked and had the perfect amount of seasoning. The sauce was also very good.

    If you haven’t tried Bred Hot Chicken, you’re missing out on an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, the vibe was fantastic casual, welcoming, and packed with energy. The staff were incredibly friendly, which just added to the whole vibe. But let’s talk about the chicken. Bred Hot Chicken takes Nashville hot chicken to a whole new level. The spice is perfectly balanced hot, but not overpowering, and each bite is packed with bold flavors. The crispy skin and tender meat inside are a match made in heaven. If you’re a spice lover, the “Bred Hot” level is a must-try, but they have a range of heat levels to suit anyone’s tolerance.

    Bred Hot Chicken is outstanding. The chicken is consistently juicy, flavorful, and the spice levels are actually dialed in perfectly not just heat for the sake of heat. The sides are fresh, the portions are generous, and everything comes out hot. The staff is friendly and the service is quick, even when they’re busy. The quality here is on another level compared to other chicken spots. Easily one of my go-to places and absolutely worth the visit every time.

    From the moment you walk in, you can tell these guys are serious about flavor. The smell alone is enough to make you hungry, and once you take that first bite game over. The chicken is perfectly crispy, juicy inside, and the heat levels are spot on. You can taste that it’s cooked with care, not just thrown together like some of the other spots trying to ride the hot chicken trend.

    So glad I found a black owned chicken joint. AND the chicken has been perfect the two times I’ve been. Obsessed with the flavor/juiciness of the chicken and the pickles & honey mustard are >>>>. Favorite restaurant if I’m eating out which is a rarity.
