"Opening Wednesday, August 3 at the corner of 10th Street and Howell Mill Road, the westside Atlanta location of Hattie B’s Hot Chicken features the chain’s only private dining room (seating up to 48) alongside a regular dining room and bar that seats 92 and a 42-seat courtyard patio. The menu showcases Hattie B’s signature fried chicken served as sandwiches or plates across six heat levels—Southern (no heat), mild, medium, hot, damn hot (the daredevil’s dream), and Shut the Cluck Up—plus Southern sides like black-eyed pea salad and cheese grits, and desserts including banana pudding and peach cobbler. Two items being tested there over the next month are fried pickles coated in Hattie B’s hot spices with a choice of sauces, and a meatless hot chicken sandwich (no meat) served on a brioche bun with Hattie B’s Comeback Sauce and a side of coleslaw; both the sauce and coleslaw include mayo. Exclusive to this location are draft cocktails—a gin take on Ranch Water, a dill pickle–infused Bloody Mary, and a Painkiller—along with beers from Georgia and Nashville on draft and in cans and boozy icees. Hours are Monday–Thursday 11 a.m.–10 p.m.; Friday–Saturday 11 a.m.–12 a.m.; Sunday 11 a.m.–4 p.m.; some parking is available on site, paid parking is across the street at the Osprey, and the spot is accessible via the #12 MARTA bus. The restaurant is part of the Hattie B’s brand founded in Nashville by Nick Bishop Sr. and Nick Bishop Jr." - Beth McKibben
