The hot chicken wars are literally heating up in Atlanta, Hattie B’s is slated to come to the city. Its doors are slated to open on July 12, according to news reports.
The restaurant is owned and run by the Bishop family out of Tennessee, specifically Nick Bishop Sr. and his son Nick Bishop Jr. The duo plan to open shop in what was formerly a Philips gas station smack-dab in the middle of Little 5 Points in MIdtown Atlanta.

”We gravitate to unique buildings, often with a history, where we can express our brand and create an entertaining dining experience,” Bishop, Jr. told Eater. “We have an appreciation for historic buildings; especially these days as many are torn down. It takes time when you’re renovating a historic structure because you want to honor the history of the building while modernizing it and making it into a restaurant.”
If you know anything about Hattie B’s, you know that their chicken comes in tiers, or should we say, tears, due to the spiciness!
