Granddaddy’s Famous Hot Chicken

Let’s start with the high. The chicken tenders were sizable, juicy, and very hot temperature wise. It went downhill from there. The seasoning is absolutely loaded with so much salt you need to drink a gallon of water just to dilute it. Every other flavor was muted by the load of salt. Whatever they use in the seasoning stains your fingers yellow, never had that happen before. Fries were nothing special. Either the food has gone down substantially or the reviews are from family, friends, or bought as the food no way comes close to getting a mid rating. Let’s talk about the restaurant itself. They charge a 15% service charge if you eat in. What that service fee is for is beyond me, as there is only one table that seats 2 in the restaurant. All the other tables and chairs are stacked up on top of each other and pushed against the wall. I guess the service fee is to dissuade you from staying and to get your food to go. There is no table service other than dropping off the food. You get your own drinks in a styrofoam cup from a DIRTY soda fountain that clearly has mold growing on the dried up soda syrup which is all over it. To say the rest of the restaurant is dirty is an understatement, floors looks old and especially filthy with the food all along the walls. The front doors you can barely see out of due to the dirt and grime. Go at your own peril

Excellent spicy chicken sandwich with the granddaddy sauce 10/10 Chicken tenders were juicy and taste like tacos but very good 10/10 Fries were a bit overdone for me 5/10 Mac and cheese was a little lacking on cheese flavor but was ok 7/10

The foods awesome. Flat out terrific. It's a great home town feel with the spice and kick that is definitely unique. We loved it. Also the service was good, they cut up my daughter's order so it would be easier for her to eat and we didn't even ask, that really impressed us because it's those thoughts that matter. The little things you do for your customers. We loved it and will be back. There was some initial sticker shock on the price but the taste made up for it.

My family ran a restaurant for years and never charged someone a service fee, charged for ranch, and water. This is absolutely ridiculous. Charging someone a service fee with automatically piss someone off. If they were located downtown and received turioists then they could possibly get away with charging a service fee 15% service fee.

Outrageous prices Thanks for your response but I believe $47.20 for a chicken baked potato, chicken sandwich with fries and 2 drinks is not reasonable

The fried turkey was delish!!

One of the best fried chicken in the area. It was really delicious. The reason i gave 4 star is for the amount of oil they used. It was insane. The box and bags were all soaked in oil.

Food was made fresh. However there was a small fried fly on my tender. The spice levels are no joke. I always get the spiciest level at every hot chicken place and my insides couldn't handle Born Again level. Fries were a little dry but otherwise fine. Would come back if prices were cut in half $24 for a meal is insane. Other options around Nashville even better for way less.
