I'm not going to waste time trying to convince the reader I like spicy food. You can either believe me when I tell you I like *very* spicy food, or not. I am not from Nashville, and I made a point of stopping by for lunch, based on many recommendations. The other writers are absolutely correct about the chicken *meat* having *NO* flavor. I *love* biting into some *seriously* hot food (indo/pakistani, thai, mexican, cajun/creole,) and having that intense heat backed up with some *flavor*. Yes, I figure it's pan-fried chicken, but that's no excuse for the chicken meat being so dry, and dull-tasting. Put the lid on the skillet while the chicken's cooking, and soak the chicken in saltwater for 24 hours. Also, I think the other reviewers got all the salt in their chicken. My order had no salt at all. Stroud's in KC is better than this, and so is Babe's in Dallas/Fort Worth.
Pros: Plenty of atmosphere. Good prices, if the chicken tasted ok
Cons: The chicken just isn't good.
