My first time trying this place and people are very nice the atmosphere is beautiful and all around would recommend.
The best chicken sandwiches — I love the Popeyes ain’t shit and their fries. The flavor is super unique!!!
They were so helpful when my app wasn’t working they were still able to give me my discount code.
First of all everyone here is sooo nice. They always make my food fresh and they remember my order.

“The Elotes were very good, tasty, nice spice and having a good proportion of the ingredients (not too much corn or too much sauce)”
Visually good but the chicken actually itself has no meat. It was just skin and dough.
As a lover of Nashville hot chicken sandwiches, I can confidently say that this was a flop.
The chicken sandwich is awful. I have had the cheat day fries before and those were good.

“I love this place.”
I love this place! I would eat three meals a day from this place if I could. The employees are amazing. They are very nice & understanding. I messed up my order once & they helped me with it no problem. Even with the lunch rush & all the orders my order has never been wrong. The food is cooked fresh to order. Perfectly hot every single time. All my co workers love this place. It’s a big hit in my office. They’re always kind. And the food is great. Keep up the good work!

A wonderful culinary experience!!!🍀 The manager/staff explained the concept to us. A delightful evening with my son. Had a bunch of vegetarian choices that enhanced the family experience. We got a 1/2 and 1/2 broth with wagyu beef and veggies and tofu. The french doughnut was a great suggestion. Highly recommend.

“My summary is tasty, well-prepared, abundant portions served by a courteous team.”
My summary is tasty, well-prepared, abundant portions served by a courteous team. I ordered the (3) Nashville Hot Tenders for lunch with a side of the Corn Elotes. In hindsight, I could have just ordered just 2 as the "tenders" were basically the size of a boneless chicken breast. Very filling. Great combination of crunch and heat (I ordered a heat level of 3 out of 5 and it was plenty hot for me). Personally, I'd be wary of going to a level four as I like to taste and enjoy rather than win a contest (think of the "Man vs. Food" TV show) . The chicken was well-prepared and a good temperature to start eating immediately without having to wait for the food to cool. The Elotes were very good, tasty, nice spice and having a good proportion of the ingredients (not too much corn or too much sauce). The atmosphere of the Revival Hall is great and reminds me of being downtown Pre-Pandemic. The tenders, Elotes, a beverage and tip was "all in" about $22. I will be back!

Chicken is so flavorful and it's one of the best deals you can get in revival, where a lot of the places are quite pricey.

“Good spot to grab lunch in downtown.”
Good spot to grab lunch in downtown. I tried their chicken sandwich at their spiciest heat level. The chicken was well breaded and crunchy. It wasn't too spicy, it was more of a slight burn. The fries were fried well and crispy. Overall I enjoyed my meal and would try again

“I adore this place - the Crew that works here is so friendly and they work very fast and efficiently.”
I adore this place - the Crew that works here is so friendly and they work very fast and efficiently. I tried their Honey Chicken sandwich and tried it at the hottest spicy (the "Call Yo Mama!") and it was pretty good! The chicken was juicy and the sauce, while it didn't make me call my mama, had a decent heat. The Mac and cheese was kind of bland though, so I wouldn't get that again - however, the sandwich was pretty solid. Would come back here!

“I'm not a fan of chicken sandwiches bc they're always too dry for me, but this chicken sandwich was TO DIE FOR.”
I'm not a fan of chicken sandwiches bc they're always too dry for me, but this chicken sandwich was TO DIE FOR. A whole game changer. The chicken they put on the sandwich is huge and super juicy. I got the Hot Honey Butter Chicken Sandwich and it was packed with flavor! It's literally finger licking good 😆 Also, if you're a pickle lover, well let me tell ya, the pieces of pickles in this sandwich are THICK and they're not skimpy with them 🥹🫶🏼 This is now my go to Chicken Sandwich spot!

“This is a knockout (TKO) hot chicken sandwich.”
This is a knockout (TKO) hot chicken sandwich. I ordered the Hot Honey Butter with no changes at a medium heat. Crisp: The crunch is right and it's mostly because everything is made to order. At this location they knock out well over 100 sandwiches per day, most of which are in the mid day rush, so it's always going to be fresh. Heat: The spice was right. A perfect medium and for the heat seekers just go for the hot, you can handle it. Bun bun: Soft, dough-y and overall tight. Other: the sauce the slaw the the pickle, perfect balance, and not (too) sloppy. Overall it's a W for the Chicago chicken scene. Thank you Hot Chicken!
