We don't take Nashville Hot Chicken's illustrious history lightly. What began as a wife's vengeance on an unfaithful husband decades ago has turned into a worldwide craze. Without the Founding Feather…
This is the crispiest, tastiest chicken that I have had in Nashville. The boneless chicken thigh is everything! They give you so much food that you have enough for a late-night snack or another meal. I love Pepperfire!

oh my goodness this chicken is amazing! even for being doordashed, it was hot and juicy. the spice was amaging, I got Hot Rod for the Hot Chicken Sandwich (Tenders) and the next levelup as a single tender to try the heat level. unfortunately at that point I was too full for the fries, but I tried a couple and they were great with the seasoning. highly recommend!

Maybe it was an off night.. but when I've had Pepperfire tenders in the past, they were large and actually hot - these were not. For the price, I feel like the portions would be larger (especially when comparing to Hattie B's ). Regardless, it still tasted good, just not a lot of food for $18 (3 jumbo tenders).

Their Tender Royale is superb option, the tenders are huge as well as fresh. The Sparkplug brings the heat and FLAVOR! Ordered it numerous times and will continue ordering it again.

Absolutely delicious! The fries were very tasty, the Barn Burner 1/2 Chicken was so good. Yummy and cooked perfectly. The only place ill be ordering fried chicken from. I added an extra tender to the meal and was able to get two very filling and satisfying meals so the price point is totally worth it.
I like spice but i like to taste my food, and i don't like my lips to be left feeling like their on fire. I got the extra tender in the lowest heat level to see if it would be too hot; it was perfect dipped in ranch and I accidentally got the spices on my lips but there was 0 burn. . . Sooo glad I finally tried this place.
