Here to try out their Southern Nashville Hot Fried Chicken tenders and sliders. They started off as a food truck, but just opened a spot at the Lab Anit mall. The crust was the most crispiest chicken, but I definitely fell in love with their banana pudding. It was rich and melted in my mouth. The staff were friendly and I plan to try their signature mac and cheese when I come back.

### jnavenutres — 4.0/5 · Aug 17, 2023

Perfect portion size and the chicken remained crispy and tender. The croutons were also nicely seasoned. Definitely ordering this again!

The macaroni & cheese was a bit overcooked, but tasted great.

This is from their food truck. Got the sliders and fries. They have 6 spice levels: Wimpy, Mild, Medium, Spicy, Dare, and Double Dare. I can’t handle really spicy food so got the Medium but i could have gone spicier. So if you like really spicy food, you might want to try Dare or Double Dare
