Prince's is friendly, genuine, simple, and delicious! A truly unique experience in Nashville. Be brave and venture away from tourist spots and national chain restaurants, Prince's is easy to find and only about seven minutes from Gaylord Opryland Resort. Take cash, they don't work with plastic! You also need quarters-- read on... When you get there, go all the way... more

This place is a real Nashville gem. It's not in the best part of town, and it's sort of far from downtown, but it's worth it. The meat itself is delicious, and this is some of the spiciest food you will ever taste. Seriously, don't order the hot. This was featured on Dave Atell's Up All Night. Not a touristy... more

Not the best location or the speediest service but the food is outstanding. I would never go there if it wasn't, but it truly is the best chicken I have ever tasted. more

To experience Nashville's "hot chicken" you must be prepared to: 1) visit a subprime location (a few rickety booths/seats, sticky floors, sometimes rough co-visitors); 2) not mind waiting up to an hour for your freshly cooked chicken; and 3) like your food spicy. If you are prepared, then you will enjoy this delicacy, and Prince's is at the top of... more

This restaurant is certainly not fancy, but one major thing it has going for it is that it is open until 4 in the morning. The chicken will make you crave more, the more you eat. It's like a form of torture for your mouth. This is a definite true Nashville experience. I have never seen hot chicken anywhere else.... more

The bad review on Prince's is certainly warrented. I'm a Nashvillian and have been going to Prince's for about 7 years. Here's my perspective on what a visitor should expect if they go to Prince's. Candid negatives: -It's in a semi-rough part of town. You will be safe, police officers often eat there as well. They are open late, but... more

I just returned from a wonderful visit to Nashville. But Prince's Hot Chicken? Terrible! I put this restaurant on my list of must-do's because of a recommendation video clip on the Food Network website. I like to experience the local flavors when I travel, and I love spicy food, so I couldn't wait to try it. We drove north of... more
