Jeremiah CosnerNovember 12, 2017Definitely go with the Hot. Recommend getting here early, for they do run out of chicken regularly. All meals come with Mac and Slaw. Well priced and cozy atmosphere.

Harrison JohnsonDecember 31, 2017I'm a mild guy, plenty spicy for me and I like spicy. The hot is hot. 🌶 🔥 🍗 love that the ranch and sweet tea are free, also deliciousUpvote3Downvote
Crystal DavisMay 14, 2017Prepare to wait if you don't call ahead. Totally worth the wait. I ordered the 5 piece wing meal, 3 hot & 2 holy sauce. The hot sauce was plenty hot but the holy, YoWzEr look out!Upvote2Downvote
Karthik RamanJuly 29, 2021The 'Holy' was really hot. Flavorful and spicy like in Nashville. The sweet tea was just the right level of sweet. Not a long wait on a Thursday afternoon. Awesome service and great social mission!UpvoteDownvote- Columbus, this is as close to Nashville Hot Chicken you can get. Get there early and follow them on social media to get a play by play of how many pieces they have left. It goes quickly.UpvoteDownvote
Squib GirlMarch 11, 2015Warm all white chicken, grab a little ranch dressing from the condiments area and make a sandwich with a little coleslaw, some breast meat and some ranch and the white bread..

Brian HartMay 17, 2015The fried chicken is FANTASTIC - always juicy and properly seasoned/spiced, and they definitely sprinkle a little crack in there. Also, try the banana pudding whether you're a banana fan or not.UpvoteDownvote
jiresellDecember 15, 2016I have had the chicken sandwich they make from their food truck, but bought a whole chicken from this location. Delicious! And worth the line to order!UpvoteDownvote
Katie JaspersFebruary 20, 2016Loved everything I had. The chicken is phenomenal; the mac and cheese is to die for. Great service, even during peak times.UpvoteDownvote
Drew WolfApril 4, 2015Hot Chicken Takeover is everything and more! I had the sandwich was the perfect combination hot and sweet, but be careful because the hot is hot!UpvoteDownvote
JermaineMay 7, 2017I recommend the wings and waffles... May be the best macaroni and cheese I've ever hadUpvoteDownvote

Christopher SamonsFebruary 5, 2016I get a waffle from Taste of Belgium, put the Warm fried chicken over it and smother it in maple syrup!UpvoteDownvote
Best fried chicken in Columbus. Nashville hot. Make sure to get lots of ranch.UpvoteDownvote

JustinJanuary 16, 2017The meals come with bread and slaw, so even if you don't order a sandwich, you can still make oneUpvoteDownvote- Anna HiderDecember 27, 2016Worth the wait!!!! Get the banana pudding. You might not think you want it, but you do.UpvoteDownvote
Maddy LiautaudOctober 29, 2016Sandwich is messy and hard to eat. If you get a meal, eat your mac n cheese quick while it's hot. "Warm" isn't very hot so go for "hot" if you're rly looking for a kick.UpvoteDownvote
Mandy SchillMay 2, 2016Chicken good. Medium quite spicy. Sweet tea included. Very disorganized, 3rd in line but took longer than people 12th, kept misplacing orders. Many early in line had to ask after 30min waiting.UpvoteDownvote
Jim OrganApril 2, 2015The Holy $@S# chicken breast is not too spicy but tender and tasty!UpvoteDownvote
