Choose from among mild, medium , hot, and extra hot — my nose tingles and my scalp prickles, but the taste is so narcotic that I clean my plate every time. Read more

The XXXHOT will send you crying to the restroom , but boy what a fun experience. Make sure to buy some ranch packets, try the tenders, and if you're unsure about the hottest, try Medium . Very tasty.

Super-spicy, cayenne-drenched hot chicken is the name of the game in Nashville, and Prince’s is the place to go. Order wisely: Medium hot here would be pants-on-fire hot anywhere else. Read more

Breast Quarter Medium Heat with fries . The fries will soak up the excess hot sauce . Go early and prepare to wait 20-30 minutes once you have ordered. They don't fry your chicken until you order it.

Holy cow this stiff is amazing. I was warned when I ordered the medium , but I should have moved up to hot. I devoured half a chicken in ten min flat. Place was packed even after closed.

This might be the best fried chicken I've eaten, sorry Willie Mae 's. The medium is the perfect amount of spice. Cole slaw and fries are great too.

I love spicy food . Love it! After reading all the reviews that said don't get the hot, get the medium , I decided to ignore them. I got the hot. It is one of the spiciest foods I have ever eaten.

Original Nashville hot chicken ! I tried Hattie B's before I came to Prince's and Hattie B's was good. But I have to say, the chicken at Prince's was more authentic & better tasting. Also, cash only .

Available only on Thursdays, the hot chicken tenders are delightfully spicy and crunchy. The bread they sit on might be the spiciest thing I've eaten in a long while!

Puts a fire in your belly and you'll love every second of it! The hot is HOT, the extra hot is like the devil himself made it but still wouldn't touch it. Think before you eat, don't be a champ!

We love spicy but I would start with mild here. Ok to bring in drinks so bring milk . Also pieces are very big. We ended up with too much food. The $5 wings are a great deal. Would pass on coleslaw .

The fried chicken here comes in 4 levels of hotness (mild, medium , hot, extra hot ) and is some of the best you’ll find in the South. Be prepared to wait half an hour for your order. Read more

70 years as Nashville's original 'hot chicken shack.' 2013 James Beard Foundation America's Classic. Enough said. [Eater 18 Member]

Not the best fried chicken I have had but if you love spicy it will top anyone's list. Try the wings which are extra hot down to the bone. Be prepared to wait some because the food is cooked to order

As opposed to the other Hot chicken places I have tried around town , the chicken was seasoned once you get past the skin. Some people would say it was almost too salty. Save the bread for last....

The medium is plenty hot. The hot is painfully hot. The extra hot had me seeing stars once, and someone else had to drive me home. My mouth waters uncontrollably whenever I think of this chicken .

Mild has more than enough kick for me and I love spicy food ! More than worth the effort and the drive to this Nashville gem.

A Nashville institution. I strongly recommend the mild and a side of dip/fries/bread unless you're really going for excruciating heat.

WINGS ON WEDNESDAY AND SATURDAY!!! TENDERS ON THURSDAY'S!!! OPEN TILL 4AM FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS!! ALL CHICKEN IS WORTH THE WAIT!!! COOKED TO ORDER!!

Invented Nashville hot chicken in the 1930s, allegedly when a jealous lover of one of Thornton Prince fed him extra spicy chicken out of vengeance.

Trace the unending hot chicken craze right back to the long, long lines at Andre Prince Jeffries’ perennial must-vist. Read more

The hot chicken is soooo good. Sucks there's only one location. The wait us always ridiculous, but it's responded with well worth it spicy chicken .

Spice lovers rejoice, Nashville natives love their fried chicken with some fire and Prince's Hot Chicken Shack lives up to the name. As seen on Man v Food Nation.

Really good chicken . Really spicy chicken even the mild in my opinion but still very good

Chicken so spicy , I still feel my mouth tingling. The bread is extremely hot. Could have handled hot but got medium - such a noob. Great service, great customers!

Come for the greatest hot chicken , stay for the people watching . Careful, this stuff is addictive.

Get ready to wait for this chicken , but it's worth it. Sides aren't awesome, but you'll definitely want to order either potato salad or coleslaw as a cooling agent. I get it "hot" but first-timer's mi

I am frightened at the prospect of a spice level two notches higher than their medium .

Best chicken joint I tried in Nashville.... turns out, "regular" is pretty hot.

Get extra hot spicy fried chicken . Be prepared to wait at least 30 minutes bc everything is made fresh.

A Nashville tradition. but be careful. Even the mild ain't mild. It burns sooooo good!!!!

Prince's was the very first in Nashville for Hot Chicken , and it really can't be beat.

Best place in Nashville. Love the medium chicken breast , fries , extra pickles and bread on the side!

Amazing. You've gotta be tolerant of spicy food , but it's worth every bit. Plus, it's dirt cheap !

If you like a runny nose, tingling tongue and like spicy food hot is a good place to start.

Mild breast with fries and credit cards ARE ACCEPTED

The chicken is awesome but the service is very slow. The sides are a la carte only. The restaurant is not updated, but hey.., whatever works. Not a great deal but the locals seem to really enjoy it.

Addictively good chicken . The medium is just right. And the baked beans are the best I have ever eaten (with strips of pulled pork stirred in).

Be sure to check out one of the 'hottest' spots in Nashville . Their chicken is spicy , so don't say I didn't warn you...

An underground must-eat in Nashville. Though I don't know how "underground" when it is since it's been on Food Network and the Travel Channel . Order a Quarter White, Medium . Perfect for spice lovers.

For those of us who do not want Hot Chicken....Their "naked chicken " is awesome.

Hot chicken . End of story.

Tenders on Thursdays (and they're huge) that's the time to hit it!

Medium spicy fried chicken is delicious, maybe my favorite after Willie Mae 's

Medium heat is hot. Hot and XHot not recommended for mortals. BYO dairy-based cooling agent as the drink selection is poor and unreliable. A memorable experience...for at least 2 days afterwards.

Premier hot chicken spot in Nashville ! If it's your first time, order the hot. I usually get medium leg quarter.

Worth the drive. Chicken is perfectly fried.

Believe everyone who says medium is hot. They start using habaneros in their rub at medium . You're in the dangerzone.

Saturday nights the best time to come is right at 10pm. The wait isn't that long and the sandwiches are still THE BOMB!!!
