Helen's Hot Chicken

This is my only experience with Nashville hot chicken, so I'll only rate 4 stars in case other places are much better.

I had chicken and fish. It was awesome. Really good.

For the most part, this place is pretty legit as far as the hot chicken is concerned. However, where it falls flat is the sides offered and the dipping sauces available. They need to add/change the sides offered. Why isn't there more options for sides? What really fell flat to me was the sipping sauces. They're individually packaged. It would be cheaper and taste better if they prepared their own ranch and blue cheese. It's so simple to make both. I dont want to spend a fortune on chicken and sides and be presented with a prepackaged ranch sauce.

Customer service was awesome. The food was amazing. I got the fish this time but I will definitely be back to get the hot chicken. I love supporting local businesses!

I think this place strait up gets slept on. They have a very friendly staff and amazing chicken that hits just right. The chicken has the perfect balance between heat and flavor unlike Bolton's or Princes which is just heat for the sake of hype. I get Hella hot and it's plenty spicy but it's just so damn tasty. If my arteries could stand it, I would eat here weekly. IMO This is the best hot chicken spot in Nashville.
