I went for the grand opening free sandwiches and was not disappointed. The sandwich is THICK and very good. Prices are pretty decent.

“Finally got to make it out after seeing the tiktok ads.”

Finally got to make it out after seeing the tiktok ads. Got here early and was greeted with great customer service. I was walked through the menu to find some things to try. Went with the Cheat Day Fries, the Hot Honey Butter sandwich, and a side of the Mac and Cheese. Food was made fresh; it tasted wonderful and very filling. 10/10 and happy to have made the trip out.

“The chicken was actually fire but the people were even better.”

The chicken was actually fire but the people were even better. When they say the people make the place, THEY WEREN'T LYING! Talking to all of the staff was a pleasure and the second I got the opportunity to dig into the food I was left in absolute awe. Seriously, no complaints and will absolutely be returning soon. Better than Dave’s hot chicken, canes and all those other wannabe chicken shops. THIS STUFF IS THE GOOD STUFF. Highly recommend

“This spot is such a vibe.”

This spot is such a vibe. A great addition to the neighborhood. I love the creative menu; it's super fun to explore. I ordered the Southern-style Six-Wing meal, but the team also let me try the garlic sauce with it too! Everything tasted heavenly, and the different combnations of flavors was so unique and interesting. I think the best part of my experience was the team. Everyone so energetic and kind. They're so excited about the upcoming grand opening; I definitely hope to make it.

“Staff - lovely, so nice and helpful.”

Staff - lovely, so nice and helpful! Food. Delicious sandwich, chicken is juicy and tender with a nice bit from the breading. Important call out is it’s not too much breading. I also got the highest heat level (“Slap Ya Mama”) and for those heat lovers, like myself, it’s perfect! It has me sweating! 10/10 would bring my friends here!

“The food is great.”

The food is great! I loved the southern style chicken (no spice) and my bf liked the mild. The fries are seasoned perfectly. I liked the peach tea as well. They have a bathroom here. Hope lots of success for the business right up against the Belmont station!

“If you’re anywhere near Lakeview and craving top-tier Nashville-style hot chicken, Hot Chi needs to be your next stop.”

If you’re anywhere near Lakeview and craving top-tier Nashville-style hot chicken, Hot Chi needs to be your next stop. This place nails everything—from the flavor to the vibe to the service. The chicken is legitimately incredible! It’s crispy, juicy, and seasoned all the way through. No bland bites here. Fries are ADDICTING and MAC is so so good 👌 Can’t wait to come back and try more from their menu!!

“Got the hot honey butter medium spice chicken sandwich.”

Got the hot honey butter medium spice chicken sandwich. The flavor pops! Came out hot n fresh quick. Staff is very friendly and price is great esp for high quality ingredients. No notes! Right outside Belmont station and near The Vic. Convenient location that takes care of those food cravings. Definitely worth stopping in.
