On our trip to Nashville we had to try Nashville's famous Hot Chicken. We decided, there was no place like the original and we went to Prince's Hot Chicken. First I will say that if you're going to Prince's for fine dinning, don't. It's not that kind of place. It is however a place to go, get a very cheap lunch or quick meal and to try a Nashville tradition. The place is run down and lower end. There's not enough seating or parking. It's the perfect, gritty, hole in the wall place. Okay, my and my buddy are two guys who pride ourselves on our ability to eat hotter foods. While most people are saying too hot or too spicy, we're asking for more. Oh, and we love hot wings. however we went into Prince's knowing that their hottest was going to be more of a novelty than good eats. So instead of ordering the hottest we ordered the next level down which was simply hot. We both got about halfway through our chicken before it even hit us. By the end my friend was sweating like he'd just came in from a tsunami and we were both ordering second drinks. The chicken itself was good. It had a great crunch on it and was very hot! A little heavy on the Lowery's seasoning for both our tastes but no complaints about that. What we both will complain about is that we ate at Prince's on our way into Nashville. We didn't even order the hottest chicken, they have mild, medium, hot and hottest and we played it safe and got the hot. Well, Prince's nearly ruined our first day in Nashville. Our stomachs stayed ablaze the whole first day and we didn't venture too far from the nearest restrooms. Oh, and my friend also says that their coleslaw isn't the best. 6 or 10 - But a really great novelty/tradition that I'll recommend higher. Just be careful with what you order.

What to Drink
Skip the carbonated drinks and go for lemonade. The fizz only makes the pain worse.
Save Time
The kitchen gets backed up late at night (when you most want some). Waits of an hour are not uncommon, so call in that order first.

Spice lovers rejoice, Nashville natives love their fried chicken with some fire and Prince's Hot Chicken Shack lives up to the name. As seen on Man v Food Nation.
An underground must-eat in Nashville. Though I don't know how "underground" when it is since it's been on Food Network and the Travel Channel. Order a Quarter White, Medium. Perfect for spice lovers.
this old lady was in here in a housecoat, so clearly clothing is optional in the joint!
don't order the hottest, 'hot' is hot enough.. mild is still pretty damn warm. Bring your own drinks (and lots of em) and wash your hands before touching your eyes! Be prepared for a wait / line.
Wait time calculation: your order# - most recently called order# x 3 minutes = wait time.

Gentlemen, if you've handled anything above medium, wash your hands BEFORE using the bathroom. Trust me.
Let it cool off a little. Temperature is a multiplier for the spice.
Get it hot. End of tip.
