Hattie B’s Hot Chicken

Hattie B’s Hot Chicken is one of Atlanta’s best spots for hot chicken, but it also serves waffles.

Here’s what one reviewer says about Hattie B’s Hot Chicken. “Oh so yummies! I could have just had the waffles and been palatably pleased. I also had the chicken sandwich. Listed as “hot” chicken sandwich, I requested “mild”. Had I not had the forethought, there is no way that I would have been able to eat the sandwich, as I even had to drink the chicken pieces into the blue cheese to eat it. Heat is an understatement. The coleslaw, which comes on the chicken sandwich was a bit too vinegary for my taste but wasn’t completely off putting. I would get the sandwich again, as well as recommend it to others. Just get an extra lemonade to wash it down. Drink sizes are on the smaller scale.

I don’t live near this establishment so I had to wait for the right opportunity to make the trip to the city. Boy am I glad I did! This lace did not disappoint! I ordered their chicken sandwich which was AMAZING!!!! My cousin ordered the chicken and waffles. Can, we just take a moment to talk about how good the waffle was?!?!? Their waffle was so yummy with a nice chew that it put all other waffles to shame! I highly recommend trying this place, even if you don’t live near the city it’s worth the drive! I demolished the sandwich without getting the chance to take a pic. But I screen shot my cousins video of his food.”

We had the red velvet waffle, Nashville hot chicken sandwich with waffle fries, & the Fab 4 (eggs, bacon, potatoes, & waffle). I’m sorry I have no pictures but we were starving once the food came out! I will definitely go again to try the salmon & lamb chops served after 4pm.”

The new restaurant replaces Richards Southern Fried, which was sunset when the pandemic began.

When it comes to restaurants, Atlanta is quickly gaining ground on some of the dining capitals around the United States.

The culinary excellence of Southern food is only part of the reason why Atlanta restaurants are having a moment. New entries into the restaurant entry, including steakhouses, seafood and fast-casual, represent a growing segment of the new Atlanta restaurants.

Hot chicken is the rage in Atlanta’s dining scene right now. But so are chicken and waffles.

Fast-casual is also the dining trend du jour around metro Atlanta restaurants. The concept involves mixing the quick accessibility of fast food with the casual dining experience. Food in Atlanta is also adapting to the various tastes of the migrants that come here to live.
