Clean, bright and a friendly staff. It was exactly what I expected as far as the fast food concept. Food was fresh! Seasoning on fries was great but a little too much salt (I am a salt fiend) the idea of all the sauces was great (Parmesan sauce awesome) but the reason behind them seems to be that the chicken tenders are just plain meh without them.?♂️
A little disappointing for a Guy Fieri fan. Was it good? Eh, not too shabby, but it wasn't worth the hour drive.Let's start with the obvious - the chicken was great. Flavorful, tender, juicy. The sauce selection was great - the Peri Peri especially.The fries were... Less great. Average to mediocre. Good texture, but bland. The loaded fries were alright, but I didn't quite care for the SMC cheese sauce. It was better than some nacho -style cheese sauce I've had, but not phenomenal.The biggest issue I had (somewhat ironically) was cleanliness. The crew had pre folded a bunch of the boxes that the chicken comes in... And just sort of stacked them out in the dining room. And when we were leaving, someone was sitting next to the door folding more. Honestly, that felt like a bit of a red flag - we're still dealing with COVID, and I wouldn't feel entirely comfy with the wrappers being exposed to the public before they get put out the window. In addition, at least one box of these wrappers was just kinda sitting on the floor.Issues to be dealt with.
It’s fast food. I gave it 4 stars because the chicken was pounded and it was a quality piece of chicken. Unfortunately, the chicken lacks seasoning. I tried a number of sauces and my favorite is “Nashville Hot” although it’s basically honey with heat. I ordered a chocolate shake and if you like Nestle’s chocolate syrup, this shake is for you. The staff is very helpful and knowledgeable of the menu.
Nothing real special about this place. The chicken sandwich was tasty and well worth the money. I hated the cereal milkshake. Should of gone with one of the other options. Soggy cereal in ice cream just isn't my thing. More attention was needed in dining room cleanliness. When we went there was just one othe customer in the store. The tables were in need of being wiped down and the floor was littered with paper. The staff was helpful and friendly. This is not a place I would make a special trip to, especially in Nashville where there are so many other options and parking is a nightmare.
We were going to be in the Nashville area and we're excited to get to try Chicken Guy. We had watched Guy's Ultimate Challenge and saw all about the food and attention to detail that Guy put into this new venture of his. It was a Saturday night at 5:30 and Broadway was very crowded. We were expecting to have to wait in line, but we're pleasantly surprised to find no line at all and the dining room was about half full. The menu consists of chicken sandwiches, chicken strips and loaded Mac and cheese. They also have a wide range of sauces so that anyone should be able to find something to their liking. We ordered the 5 piece strip dinner. The chicken was the perfect size and thickness. The breading was uniform and consistent on all five pieces. The strips were cooked to perfection. Now for the taste! The breading on the strips was bland. My wife said it needed more salt. We tried the buttermilk ranch, honey mustard, sweet chili, and Nashville hot honey. Definitely not a trip to Flavor Town that I thought I was going to experience! The sauces just did not have much flavor. The honey mustard had too much mustard dominate flavor. The hot honey had more honey and not enough hot. The staff was very helpful and attentive. This was ok, but not what I would expect from Guy Fieri.
The menu above the register is pretty straight forward. Chicken tenders, fries, Mac n cheese, soda. The real fun is in the sauces. The chicken was crispy and well cooked, but the wide variety of sauces to dip them in is what really makes this place. Some friends and I had a little fun and ordered one of every sauce. We had a consensus that the donkey sauce was by far the best of the bunch. We had other “top three” sauces which included the lemon pepper, spicy Mayo, cumin lime mojo, and special sauce, though of course we all had our own tastes and preferences. There wasn’t one sauce we didn’t enjoy.The restaurant is clean, the atmosphere is fun and funky (in a good way), the service was very fast and friendly, the music was good, and the food was tasty. Would definitely recommend and return.
Chicken and Sauces in a fast food format, You can't go wrong?The fried chicken tenders are a little thin, fresh, and seem to have good seasoning. The fries are great hot. The sauce formats make me think of Buffalo Wild Wings. The Nashville Hot Honey is a little runny, so beware when using it as a dip.Overall, decent place if You want a decent snack.The employee Bobbie here is a lovely lady. I saw her give two little kids a small serving of soft serve for each of them. They seemed happy and excited about it.
Decided to give this a try today before we left town. Showed up almost at noon and the line was long. Menu is straightforward with good descriptions. We ordered chicken tenders, fries, Mac and cheese, 4 sauces, and the mint shake. They give you a very cool tracking device, just place it on the table and they know where to bring your food!We sat in the enclosed patio and found it had a slight musty smell. Food arrived very quickly, but without the shake and missing 2 of the sauces. Shake arrived, looked amazing, then on the third trip back we received the 2 missing sauces.Chicken tenders are great, thin, crispy, hot, and juicy. Fries were also hot and the seasoning is fantastic. Unfortunately the Mac and cheese was cold, it wasn’t served with a fork (4th trip to get our complete order) tasted okay, but not worth the $4, wouldn’t order again. The mint shake tasted excellent, it was creamy and flavorful. Best part is that they give you an extra large straw so you can actually drink it, very appreciated.Overall good food that definitely sets itself apart from other chicken restaurants with excellent seasonings and sauces. Staff was also very kind and friendly but there were only 4 people and they seemed a little understaffed for a busy lunch rush. Ultimately I’ll definitely eat here again in other cities, but in Nashville I’ll choose hot chicken over here.
I've been watching Guy's new show on the Food Network about giving a Chicken Guy franchise away, so I was very excited to be able to stop at Chicken Guy in Nashville to try the food. Happy to report that the food did not disappoint! I ordered three tenders, and I couldn't finish all three - SO. MUCH. FOOD. My husband ordered a sandwich with fries. Both were delicious. If we lived closer, we'd go back. Highly recommend.
Really, really good! The sandwich was huge and the sauces & slaw gave it a ton of flavor. The fries were seasoned and crispy. The staff was very kind and courteous, as well. I definitely recommend!
