Nashville hot chicken with various spice levels, Southern sides & desserts
"The Nashville hot chicken chain opened its first Austin location in the former Maria’s Taco Xpress, serving its signature spicy fried chicken in sandwiches and platters alongside desserts like banana pudding and cobblers and cocktails such as boozy slushies. The fast-casual format brings the chain’s hallmark heat-and-crisp profile to South Lamar." - Nadia Chaudhury
"One of the OG names in Nashville-style hot chicken, Hattie B’s has recently expanded to South Austin, offering a large menu of grilled and fried chicken. The chicken comes in tender, sandwich, or bone-in form, gets fried nice and crispy, then slathered in hot chili ranging from “mild” to “shut the cluck up” levels of heat. Hattie B’s currently operates in eight cities across America, including a few locations around Tennessee. " - nicolai mccrary
"Opening on Wednesday, February 28 at 2529 South Lamar Boulevard, I’m excited that Hattie B’s Hot Chicken will bring its signature Nashville hot chicken to South Lamar with spice levels ranging from the mild Southern to the blistering Shut the Cluck Up!!!. The menu will offer chicken as pieces, plates, sandwiches, tenders, paired with waffles or mixed into fries, plus sides like pimento mac and cheese, bacon cheddar grits, black-eyed pea salad, and pickles, and sweets such as banana pudding, peach cobbler, and ice cream floats. For drinks I note cocktails like their Shack Water (gin and grapefruit in place of tequila and lime), a dill-and-pickle–flavored bloody mary, a bourbon John Daly, and watermelon margaritas, along with Texas and Nashville beers. The spot will include an indoor dining room, a patio, and an outdoor area lined with a putting green and lawn games, ample parking including spaces dedicated to takeout and a pickup entrance. The Bishops, who started Hattie B’s in Nashville in 2012 and expanded into multiple states (their first Texas location opened in Dallas in 2022), say they tried to honor the legacy of the previous tenant when taking over this space." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Through a collaboration with Austin-based Asian smokehouse Loro, Hattie B’s previewed its signature spicy poultry with several new dishes: a hot chicken rice bowl featuring Hattie B’s chicken bites with coconut rice, pickles, chicken skin furikake, Thai herbs, and a miso-based sauce; and a hot chicken sandwich with Hattie B’s chicken, pimento cheese, the same miso sauce, and chicken skin furikake. The pop-up also included oak-smoked collards with a spicy maple syrup, sesame noodles with furikake, wonton chips with burnt-ends cheese dip, and cocktails; the items were available Feb. 1–4 via dine-in and Uber Eats. Hattie B’s is also expected to open an Austin location on South Lamar in late February." - Nadia Chaudhury
"I saw that Hattie B’s is moving into the former Maria’s Taco Xpress on South Lamar and will serve its signature spicy fried chicken in sandwiches and platters alongside desserts like banana pudding and cobblers and cocktails such as boozy slushies." - Erin Russell
