I recently visited 400 Degrees Hot Chicken and tried their Nashville hot chicken at the 200 Degrees spicy level. Even though this wasn't the spiciest option, it packed plenty of heat, and I loved it! The spice didn't taste artificial or like capsaicin powder--it came from real peppers and a flavorful spice blend, which made the chicken both spicy and tasty. While the food was great, the service could've been better. Despite ordering online for DoorDash pickup with an estimated 30-minute wait, it took an hour to get my order, and the restaurant wasn't particularly busy at the time. That said, the ambiance was nice, with plenty of seating and a lot of locals, which speaks to the love people have for their hot chicken.

The catfish was great! The chicken was good too, but I preferred the catfish. The staff was very friendly and helpful!

I ordered before realizing they were closing at 3pm. I didn't get there until after closing, but the ladies there said "no problem" I was met with smiles and the best hot chicken I've ever had. I live on the west coast and thought Hattie bs was amazing compared to the options in Seattle. Hattie's is still great and love their selection of sides, but this chicken is even better. I will be back next time I'm in Nashville!

This place has the friendliest owner. Love this place. Delicious hot chicken. A very homey atmosphere.

The food was very good and fresh. First time trying hot catfish it was very good with the 100 degrees heat level and comes with mustard, pickles and on onions. On top of white bread. Not too spicy but just enough and was seasoned very well. The 200 degrees flavor is a big jump in heat from the 100 degrees. But was still very good on the chicken tenders. The service was very good and quick. The inside of the restaurant was very clean also. Definitely will be back when I visit Nashville again.

400 never misses!! Definitely up there with Prince's as the local's favorite. The mark of a good hot chicken is that it's still good with no spice and 400 definitely does that. I love the hot shrimp with fries. Just a tip, order in advance online or you'll have a long wait but it's worth it!

I've now been to eighty-seven Nashville Hot Chicken places in my home of Southern California and eight in Nashville, when I went during the first week of April. The best hot chicken I have eaten in America, so far, is in Nashville, of course, but it's not at the two places where you think it might be - "Prince's" and "Hattie B's" - although both of them are definitely amazing. The best Hot Chicken in North America is at family-owned 400 Degrees. 400 Degrees is just outside of Nashville, in a non-descript parking lot next to an auto supply shop. It is the best hot chicken I have tasted, out of all of the ninety-five places I've been. Once you bite into it, you're not "you" anymore. You become a new being that never existed in the moments before you tried it. It's every superlative I can think of. The breading, which is a meal in itself, is like a rainbow in breading form. Deep flavor (spicy and sweet) that your taste buds never knew existed. Combination of dry rub and wet rub is outstanding and, as at Prince's, it soaks all the way through the bread, forming a new baked good that shouldn't be allowed to exist but it does. The breading is a meal in itself. You almost thought I was going to forget to talk about the chicken: perfect. Moist, flavorful, excellent. Tenders are exactly the right size. The regular hot level is called "200 Degrees." It's the one I got and it was perfect. ("400 Degrees" is extra hot, but I don't think I could have gone any hotter.) Excellent homemade baked beans, with the perfect amount of sweetness. They also offer Nashville Hot Pork Chops and Nashville Hot Shrimp. Next time. A++++++++++++++++ for 400 Degrees. (I wish there was one here in Los Angeles!) I will return.
