• 6/27/26Hands down the best chicken sandwich I've ever tried. Fries were also incredible especially with the sauce. Great people working there, very nice and respectful with quick service.

• 7/19/26The biscoff pudding comes in a sauce cup and is very very small for almost $4 and the bananas were literally Black. Not just a little like completely black

• 11/2/24Their food quality does not meet their overpriced menu. Tenders were very small and the fries were flavorless. Their "large" banana pudding is also a rip off as well. It should be illegal to call a proportion of that size a large. They don't even offer a dipping sauce with their overpriced meal. Buddy's Bar B Q at least gives you dipping sauce. Please don't waste your money here. I would not have left a review if their food matched the pricing.

• 1/19/25My sandwich only came with one tender. Im not sure if this was intended or not , however I got the Sand and 1 tender with fries combo. Flavors on the sand were fantastic. Breading is solid and flavorful.
This is a breaded and dusted style tender which you would find typical at any REAL hot chicken place.
I enjoy reasonably hot food and the middle of the road here didnt disappoint. I had 2 more levels and the tender I ordered one step higher leaving only the final heat to be tested later. I enjoyed the flavor of the extra spicy before the final 2 flavors.
Fries are exactly par.
Cheese sauce is the same from the baseball game.
Chicken is the star here. If you like a batter fried and dusted hot chicken the price warrants the quality.
Mertals cost more and does not boast as hot of chicken.
Have not ordered a large order but would consider it.
6/10
Please consider my scale counts a 5 as par or agreeable. Middle of the road.
Vida in Knoxville gets an 8.5 for me.
The Kennedy gets an 8
Brass pearl 7.3
Hotbirds is some of the most solid hot chicken available in Knoxville.

• 4/18/26Everything was perfect. I've never had a bad experience here from anything I've got. The loaded Combo #5 - Loaded Fries are amazing. For a true taste of what Hot Birds is, I recommend getting 1 or 2 Spiced Tender by themselves. You won't be disappointed!!!
