Atlanta Restaurants Serving Hot Chicken That’ll Make You Sweat

"Started by Justin Lim, owner of Okiboru Tsukemen and Ramen in Sandy Springs, Scoville serves Nashville hot chicken sandwiches that go from totally spiceless to the startling heat of the “Reaper” topped with coleslaw, pickles, and Scoville sauce. Crinkle-cut fries, cold macaroni salad, and pickles make up the extent of the abbreviated menu here, with soft drinks and strawberry lemonade available to drink. There are also locations in Marietta, Decatur, Buckhead, Underwood Hills, and Athens." - Mike Jordan

Atlanta Restaurants: Seafood Restaurant Bully Boy and West Coast Cafe Muchacho Reopen With New Menus on the Eastside Beltline - Eater Atlanta

"The first franchised location of Atlanta-based Scoville Hot Chicken, owned by Sonny Fowler, is now open at the Sandy Plains Plaza in Marietta. The Nashville hot chicken restaurant, founded by Justin Lim (Okiboru), first opened in Sandy Springs last December, followed by locations in Buckhead and Athens. Scoville Hot Chicken serves varying degrees of hot chicken on its menu, ranging from totally spiceless to the overwhelming heat of the Reaper topped with coleslaw, pickles, and Scoville sauce. Two more locations should open soon in Decatur and Underwood Hills." - Beth McKibben

Saito: Sushi, Steak, and Cocktails Opens Soon in Downtown Atlanta, While Scoville Hot Chicken Opens in Sandy Springs on Roswell Road - Eater Atlanta

"Scoville Hot Chicken opening in Sandy Springs. Justin Lim, the owner of Sandy Springs ramen restaurant Okiboru, opens his first hot chicken restaurant on December 4. Situated along Roswell Road in Sandy Springs, Scoville Hot Chicken takes inspiration from Lim’s experiences eating at Howlin’ Ray’s restaurant in Los Angeles. He says his initial visit to Howlin’ Rays had him standing in line for nearly three hours for a Nashville hot chicken sandwich. He was so “blown away” by it, Lim met with chef and owner Johnny Ray Zone. That meeting led to Lim traveling throughout Los Angeles and to Nashville to eat at various hot chicken restaurants and his decision to open Scoville Hot Chicken in Atlanta. Currently, the menu features just one hot chicken sandwich served with Scoville hot sauce, fries, and cole slaw. A second location opens by mid-December in Athens, Georgia. Open daily from 11:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. Order takeout or delivery via Doordash, Grubhub, Postmates, and UberEats." - Beth McKibben

Visited back in January for the first time and the food was so delicious, spicy and flavorful. Back then they used to serve fries alongside as well as coleslaw. The experience was fabulous. But then visited again in march and it was not the same. Food was lacking in flavor, the spice level didn't live upto the one chosen and overall not the best. Also it didn't come with fries had to order later separately. I hope it was just a bad day and not a perpetual decline in food quality cause I really miss the old scoville. Can't wait to visit again

We stopped in for a family dinner tonight and this was our first time. Pierre was so helpful, answering our questions when we ordered and he really made the experience great! The food was delicious, especially the dirty fries with the garlic aioli. We will be back.

Wow!!! The hot chicken sandwich was out of this world. The medium tenders were good but the pepper they dusted on it was slightly bitter which I didn’t like. The fries were also really delicious and plentiful. Will be back. Food tiktok: @chelseadaniellaa

Oh my goodness the best chicken sandwich known to mankind! Don’t walk, run! Super juicy, very generous portions, the fries are crispy and soft at the same time. In my opinion the honey mustard sauce is superior and I always get some of their home made strawberry lemonade as well. Highly recommend this place overall! Super friendly staff as well.

This place deserves a 10/10 review. Food 10/10 Ease of ordering 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Customer service 10/10 If you love Nashville style hot chicken sandwich, add this place to your must visit list. Sandwiches are not just hot/spicy but they have an amazing taste with different levels of heat/spice to choose from. We ordered 2 sandwich fries combo, one Hot and other Extra Hot. Extra hot was super delicious but I couldn't handle the heat, I think I'll stick to hot from next time 😝 chicken was well seasoned, perfectly cooked and juicy. fries were hot n crispy and generous in portion. Coleslaw was very fresh. Currently they have a very limited menu. (Only sandwich & fries) This is definitely my new favorite hot chicken restaurant. I hope they maintain the standard and taste consistency of the food.

Honey, it was the hot, fresh chicken for me! I got the medium because I’m a wimp when it comes to hot food so I can’t take much. The medium had just the right amount of heat and because it was super hot (right out the grease) it added to the heat a bit but I was able to distinguish the two. I got the sandwich as it’s known for, with the coleslaw, pickles, and sauce. I’m glad the chicken was so big that I was able to taste the part sticking out of the bread before tasting it all mixed together. I feel as if the coleslaw was too much. You lose some of the flavor of the chicken. The chicken is just right… hot, crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside, flavorful. The French fries were also hot and fresh, seasoned very well. However, my personal opinion is that the flavor of the fries didn’t mix well with the sandwich as a whole. Everything is cooked to order so prepare to wait about 5-10 minutes or so for fresh food. There was only one person ahead of me so it wasn’t terrible. The only other thing is the price. I paid $14.45 for the chicken sandwich, fries, and tea. That’s a pretty hefty price for lunch. I always think that if I pay that much, I need to be sitting in somewhere. All in all, it was good. If I’m on that side of town, I would probably swing by again but I wouldn’t make a special trip.

If you like fresh food come here. Not only is the chicken cooked to order, but the flavor is out of this world. I had the tender combo, half extra hot and half reaper. Both are hot but only get reaper if you have a really high spicy tolerance. Extra hot is hot yet still has that tolerable delicious flavor. Even the fries are really good. I will be back 10/10!!!

I came here with high expectations on a friend’s recommendation. I have no hesitation to say that they met my expectations. I tried Reaper Spicy Sandwich and it was SPICY 🌶. Wifey and Son tried Extra Hot and it was good for it’s spicy level too. My daughters as being on younger age, went with Chill level spicy Chicken Strips and it was good for them also. The overall experience was awesome and freshness of food added more to flavor. I would definitely come back soon.

Great find! I accidentally found this restaurant on a Friday. Inside/outside dining and carry out is available. I ordered the chicken tender combo based on the recommendation of a frequent customer. The combo comes with a side and a drink. I got the crinkle fries and upgraded to the fresh squeezed strawberry lemonade. This was my first time trying hot chicken. I'm not a fan of spicy food. So I opted for the chill spice level. The chicken and fries were good, but the fresh squeezed strawberry lemonade stole the show! I will make a special trip across time for that refreshing beverage!

Trash, trash, trash. My wife and I went to get a quick dinner and we ended up having to get food somewhere else. The seasoning on the food was horrid and inedible. On a more positive note, the chicken was big and it was juicy. I was really confused about the crinkle cut and straight fry, but hey maybe that's what they do? lol the fries were good though. Would I be back here? Hell nah....straight garbage

I'm addicted to this hot chicken! Every order is made-to-order, which makes the sandwiches and fries extra crispy and delicious. You can place an order online or at the kiosk in the store. They have screens which let you know your order's progress. I love the garlic aioli sauce! I dip my fries in this sauce and devour it. There are 6 levels of spiciness. I've tried medium as well as hot, and I think hot is the highest level that I can handle There are 2 more levels above hot if you want an extra kick. You can customize your toppings. I prefer to get my cole slaw on the side rather than on my sandwich.

Best hot chicken sandwich in the A! But honestly, you must really have another person to share that sandwich because it is a giant sandwich

Saw this place as close to my location additionally the Yelp reviews were good. I got the HOT sandwich, it's about as spicy as a jalapeño and for my taste perfect. I would add extra pickles next time but that's just me. Give them a try super friendly staff Peter was amazing the food fresh and portions large

With a quick, easy ordering process, Scoville is worth going if you wanting a little more than Chick-fil-a. _________________________________________________________ PARKING & LOCATION | [When you make your way to the location, it is in a small shopping outlet with other stores. Parking is on the small side, but if you are just picking up, then you do not have to worry about that part.] _________________________________________________________ EXTERIOR & INTERIOR | [Scoville has the logo on the outside of the store and is a small location that doesn't have a lot to offer, other than the regular fast-food style shop. ] _________________________________________________________ IS IT CLEAN? | [For a place that is quick and easy, it stays pretty moderately clean] _________________________________________________________ FOOD & DRINKS | [Chicken at this place is very fresh and crispy. The level of spice is awesome but can catch you off guard as the medium can be actually hot and hot can actually be spicy. The fries are really good and crisp but can get soggy real quick if you don't eat them right away. If you are wanting a little bit better chicken sandwich that's greater than Chick-fil-a then you might like this place more. I got their Spicy chicken sandwich with coleslaw in the sandwich.] _________________________________________________________ SERVICE ‍‍| [This place seems to only have cooks rather than cashiers and servers so can't really rate it, but for the cooks, they did a great job for prep and making sure the order is right] _________________________________________________________ OVERALL | [Overall, this fast-food place is worth going to and grabbing a crispy bite because it definitely opened my eyes to new wonders for something greater than my regular go-to place.]

The food was great. I ordered a hot chicken sandwich. The level I chose was Chill. It didn't have much flavor to it until I added the garlic aioli sauce. I'm sure if I had ordered a different level of hot, the taste would have changed. It came with fries, and I ordered bottled water. I spent $15 and some change. Keep in mind that the beverage doesn't come with your sandwich. Only fries. You get a Large amount of fries, and the chicken sandwich is Huge. You will definitely only eat half of this meal or be extremely full. The fries had great seasoning and were very fresh, but they were a bit too salty. They were delicious, though. The order was fresh and brought out to my car. Overall, 5 out of 5. Keep up the great work.

We are big chicken sandwich foodies. I love to try new chicken sandwiches. This was my first time here. They have kiosk ordering for fast and convenient service. Their menu is obviously all chicken. They have: traditional chicken wings or boneless, chicken sandwich, chicken tenders, different dips, French fries, and even a couple of party trays. I tried the spicy chicken sandwich combo. Which I thought was excellent!! They fry it fresh to order at this location that's why it takes them a little bit longer, but it's well worth the wait!!On the sandwich they put a little bit of coleslaw and pickles and their really good sauce. On the kiosk you can order some items to be put on the side if you prefer it. It was very tasty and crispy. The batter is done really thin and seasoned very well. I felt like you didn't even need the sauce because it was seasoned perfectly. Their spicy level is no joke! They have the challenge burger called the reaper I can only imagine how hot that would be. I tried the spicy sandwich and it was a good amount of heat already. So if you want to enjoy your meal, just stick with the different levels of heat and do not attempt the reaper.

Ordered from here a few times and the chicken tenders and sandwich are great! I seriously think their sandwich has twice the meat compared to the average chicken sandwich you'd order anywhere else; it is deliciously crunchy and juicy. I also think the sauces have a great balanceof heat and flavor. Sticking to the tenders and sandwhich this place would be a 5. What I found disappointing were the wings, which were disappointingly and ironically small. The sauce also was not good. It was way too salty. Definitely would go back for the sandwich and tenders but skip the wings.

I love spicy food. The first time I went I tried the extra hot sandwich and it was great but not hot enough for me. The service is quick and people behind the counter are friendly and welcoming. The next time I visited I tried the reaper. The heat was delayed but when it kicked in, WOW! It was delicious, just the right amount of heat I was looking for! I'll be back!

Soooo good! I got the sandwich and it was very good taste wise and portion size. The food came out very quick after ordering. My partner got the tenders which were also really good and huge. Fries were tasty as well. I would definitely return.

Hahaha, the people downgrading this place for not being greeted when they walk in, having to order from a touchscreen or the spicy chicken being so hot that you can't taste anything else, are either trolls or simply cannot grasp what this place is. It is not a sit down restaurant, although there are a couple tables and several stools at the wall bar. It is not a restaurant with a host and wait staff - I find it hilarious that people complain about this. This place simply has a cashier, a kitchen staff, and the best chicken sandwich with sides in the area. The chicken sandwich is huge. No matter what spice level you order, it will be delicious. I have the reaper and my kids get the hot and no spice. They agree that it is the best chicken sandwich - Chick-fil-a, Popeyes, KFC etc don't come close. The fries are always perfect and, with the sandwich, it is more than most people can eat. Don't believe the hate - this place is fantastic.

I've been meaning to try this chain for a while and they really do have the best fried chicken sandwiches in the fast food game (also the biggest--it's almost too big, like these chickens were definitely big bois. I got the medium and it had a little kick but nothing too noticeable so I think if you veer in between mild and hot, medium should be good. The coleslaw and pickles were a nice, refreshing addition to break up the grease of the chicken and fries--btw fries are gooood as well. I took off a star though bc the chicken was a liiittle rubbery/chewy. The ambience is nice. You order at a kiosk and then you can sit inside at tall tables/countertops or outside. The service was really nice and accommodating when we had some questions and asked for ketchup. I thought it was cool that if you order a sandwich combo, you can get a t-shirt for like an added $6 or lower (maybe $4-cant remember).

Food was flavorful and the sandwich was hot as expected. There is nowhere to sit in this location. The fries were some of the best I have ever had. The drawings and airbrushed graffiti on the wall makes you want to dine in but the place is not that big for that. The kicking bourbon wings were a hit and I most definitely will be going back to get more. Parking is on in this plaza and they have a lot of parking around the back of the building. The workers there were extremely helpful and made the ordering easy. Food was not expensive at all. See the pictures to be the judge of how you think the food was. Cause it was GREAT for me.

This fast food restaurant gets its name from the Scoville rating which measures and rates the heat or spiciness of various chili peppers. This is how you order your chicken sandwich - by the heat rating! The restaurant's Scoville range begins at 1, the chill, to the hottest at 6, "the reaper". Please note, if you're dieting there are no healthy options like grilled chicken. It's all fried deliciousness. Hailing from Los Angeles, Justin Lim, is the brains and chef behind this creative concept and franchise. Of interest to foodies, Justin Lim is also the owner of Los Angeles based Okiboru Tsukemen and Ramen for which he has been recognized by Michelin Guide and awarded with the Bib Gourmand. Their hot fried chicken sandwiches, inspired by the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, require two hands to eat, have a huge piece of fried chicken, and are all topped with cole slaw, pickles, and your choice of Scoville sauce. Today I enjoyed the "Chill" sandwich combo. The piece of chicken was quite large and juicy making my sandwich easily shareable. Have your napkins ready as it's messy eating! Cole slaw or fries are your side choices. The crinkle fries are the frozen variety and tossed in a seasoning salt. My fries were good, but fresh hand cut fries would have put my rating at a 5. Definitely a spot to check out!

The chicken is fine, a little greasy but it's fast food. The fries were good. The set up is a little odd because you self order at a kiosk. When I went there was only one guy working and he was doing his best but it took a while to get the food considering I was the only one there. I think maybe they get a lot of online orders so I'd probably recommend doing that. Also parking is limited so be aware. The space was clean and there's some seats but I would j take to go.

So after all this chicken sandwich business over the last year, I can finally put that all to rest knowing that I have now had the best chicken sandwich in Atlanta, hands down at Scoville Hot Chicken! In the south, we often hear about food being so good you will slap your momma...well, immediately after I wrapped up lunch I drove down to Newnan where my mother currently resides...(No mommas were actually harmed - Love you mom!) Scoville is taking the chicken sammy scene by storm here in GA! This location in Sandy Springs is one of two currently ITP, with two more planned for both Midtown and Marietta in the coming months. We can't forget about the Athens location though...I mean it is good to know that when I end up between the hedges they at least have fantastic chicken sandwiches there! As mentioned, this location is in Sandy Springs and sits directly on Roswell Road sharing a small plaza with Crab404, New York Butcher and a couple other eateries. For reference, it sits across the street from the large Kroger shopping complex on Roswell Road. Given the location in the shopping center, parking is good. They do have dedicated short term spots up front for all the business and Scoville has two available if you are simply dropping in for pick up. While I have not been to the other location, this spot is quite small. While restrictions have been loosened, they are still set up as a mostly take out spot. However, they do have a few high tops along the walls and stools for the built in counters. I opted to eat in and bellied up to one of the high tops near the windows to enjoy my sandwich and fries. Ordering is done through the two self service touch screen stations. They allow you to select and customize your order, as well as pay. Once I ordered, I legit could not get the reader to accept my card. I finally gave up and told the staff that I was clearly just too hungry to do anything right and asked for assistance. The young lady working the register giggled and quickly came to my rescue. Turns out you have to enter your credit card upside down to the way they have the card readers attached to the stations. So, I wasn't really a dummy and ended up with my chicken sandwich after all! Since they are known for doing one thing very well, they have a pretty limited menu which consists of the famed chicken sandwich and they even tossed chicken tenders on the menu due to demand earlier in 2021. But, outside of those two rockstars...its all sides and drinks. The sandwich and tenders come individually or as a meal which includes fries. Both meals are priced at $12 as of July 2021. The sandwiches are served with sauce, slaw and pickles which are all placed on a toasted and buttered bun. Now to the sauces, which is a decision that you should not take lightly as your choice could mean the difference between a good and bad day, depending on your toleration of hot! You have 5 sauce options: Chill, Medium, Hot, Extra Hot and Reaper. Personally, I wasn't risking it and I wanted to make sure I got to truly taste the bird, so I opted for the Chill and got them to hold the slaw and pickle. I was a purist with this sandwich! The chill sauce was excellent. It had a tiny kick where you could taste the heat, but you could not feel it. It was thick enough to coat the bird and my mouth, but thin enough to not make the chicken soggy. I sided my sandwich the fries, which are crinkle cut fries that are sprinkled with some of the reaper seasoning to give them a little extra umph! Just as the chicken was, the fries were perfectly crispy and hot! With the fries you get a dipping sauce and I landed on the house sauce which turns out to be a garlic aioli, heavy on the garlic! Overall, Scoville Hot Chicken is PHENOMENAL and should be taken real serious in the world of chicken sandwiches! The price point is good, the sauces are tongue slapping and the chicken is juicy, crispy and plump pieces of golden fried and sauce coated perfection! If you have yet to check this place out, then shame on you! I am a fan forever and cannot wait to follow the amazing journey that I know is coming for Scoville Hot Chicken!

Hot tenders & fries... underwhelming to say the least... definitely wouldn't go back. Originally wanted Hattie's but they were closed on Easter... chicken was salty and only sauced about 1/4 of the way through. Hot tasted mild and had no real kick except "salt"... the other 2 orders we got were all about the same quality. Quite disappointing bc all the reviews online were amazing. Wouldn't go back.

Ummm. I'm very disappointed. The set up is cool with being able to do contactless ordering. However, the food was blah.. I thought this was going to be a sandwich dipped in Nashville hot sauce or something but it was actually dusted with seasoning that had a very strong old bay seasoning taste. It was very salty. Barely any sauce on the sandwich. Cole slaw taste bland. The fries were really good. I can't say that I will be returning anytime soon. It was a big sandwich. So that second picture is my left overs.

My buddy had told me about this spot so we added it to our list to check out while in town. The restaurant was a bit hard to find as it was facing away from the road, but we are glad we made our way to it. When you walk in, it is just a service counter with no registers. We found that a bit weird until they pointed us towards the ordering stations to the left of the entrance. We ordered a hot chicken sandwich with hot sauce. We grabbed a seat and waited for about 10 minutes for our sandwich. It came out fresh out of the fryer and piping hot. It looked perfect and when we tore into it, we found it was incredibly tasty. The chicken was perfectly crisp while still holding onto the sauce. The slaw and sauce complimented the spicy chicken perfectly. The meat to bun ratio was generous as the chicken hung more than half way out of the bun. The bun was warm, buttered, and toasted. To be honest, it was the best hot chicken sandwich we have had, and we hit most of the spots in Nashville. We savored every bite and regretted not ordering two. Overall, we loved this spot. It was easy to order, wait time was decent, and the food was incredible. I would highly recommend this spot for some hot chicken.

First, only small seating inside and a few tables outside. They were super busy but love you can walk up to the order electronic board and order what you want and pay. You can also put in mobile number to be texted when order is ready. I ordered the medium chicken sandwich with fries. Waited about 10 minutes which was pretty quick considering how busy they were. I went to the front to pick up my meal. They put in a deep box which I like. This sandwich is big! Medium was good spice for me and the coleslaw with pickles are so delicious! The bun totally holds up too! I would come here weekly if I lived close. Gotta try it!!

Scoville Hot Chicken is a small joint serving hot chicken sandwiches and sides. Interior: it's a small, clean area with a few tables and stools, in addition to a few tables outside. There are screens to order and you can pick up at the front desk. Fast service! 5/5 Food: I got the hot chicken sandwich with coleslaw, pickles and medium spice. My sister got the same, just chill spice. The chicken was tender and the medium was not spicy, but it needed a bit more salt and flavor. It was a huge sandwich! The fries were nicely seasoned and plentiful as well, which made for a nice, heavy meal. We got our meals to go, and the boxes were perfect, with the fries separated from the burger without getting too mushy 4/5 Overall, a decent fast food place for chicken sandwiches.

This place was delicious. This place can be found tucked into a shopping center and is pretty easy to miss. The ordering process is seamless but they're known to attract some big crowds. You order at a little kiosk on the wall and pick up your food after receiving a text. We got different variations of the hot spicy chicken sandwhich and It was delicious.

I went to Scoville Hot Chicken to see what all the hype was about and I've got to say, this place is worth it. The restaurant's Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich is phenomenal. Multiple people have asked me how it compares to Hattie B's and this is my answer: Hattie B's is good. Scoville is great. I was impressed. At the time of writing this review, I think Scoville's hot chicken sandwich is the best chicken sandwich in Atlanta, hands down. They only sell hot chicken sandwiches and chicken tenders (the tenders are new as of March 21, 2021). They perfected the sandwich and I think it is going to win a lot of awards in the coming years. The future is bright for this brand if they can keep the quality up and the operation running as smoothly as it has been. This location opened in December 2020 on Roswell Road in Sandy Springs ITP (inside the perimeter). It's in the Belle Isle Square shopping plaza and faces Roswell Road along with other restaurants, Crab404, Bangkok Thyme, and Cibo e Beve. A second Atlanta location opened March 11, 2021 in Buckhead. There's a location in Athens and one planned for New York too. Scoville's physical restaurant space in Sandy Springs is small. At the time of my visit, the restaurant was set up primarily as a takeout joint. Inside, seating was very limited. There was no outside seating. Due to the popularity of this place, I think this particular configuration is a smart idea given the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Crowds of people are going to gather here anyway, so the more the business can do to spread customers out, the better. It looked like they did pretty much all they could do by removing a substantial amount of seating. Fortunately, their product does well in takeout form. In person, you order using one of two touchscreens on the wall. I recommend ordering and paying using your phone by going to https://scovillechicken.com/. This reduces wait time at the restaurant standing in line to order and then waiting for your order. I placed my order when I was about 10 minutes away from the restaurant -- I think that's the way to go. When I arrived, they were finishing up packing my order, so the timing was ideal. They have a pickup counter along with shelves where they place orders ready for pickup. This was the entire menu, a good value: Food * Scoville Combo - hot chicken sandwich with fries - $10.00 * Hot chicken sandwich - $8.00 * Chicken Tenders - $10.00 * Fries - $3.00 * Slaw - $2.00 Drinks * Stubborn Soda (self-serve fountain drinks) - $2.50 * Sweet/unsweet tea - $2.00 * Fresh-squeezed strawberry lemonade - $4.00 The hot chicken sandwich comes in six spice levels: * Not spicy * Chill * Medium * Hot * Extra hot * Reaper I ordered one combo, an additional hot chicken sandwich by itself, and coleslaw. I wanted to try a couple different spice levels, so I got one sandwich "Hot" and the other "Chill." I also requested some "Reaper seasoning" on the side so I could adjust the heat and also try the spice by itself. As a spicy food lover, I thought "Hot" was enjoyably hot. I did add Reaper seasoning to my "Hot" sandwich for extra heat and it was quite enjoyable for me (perhaps I turned it into "Extra hot"). It's a slow heat that builds and burns. I'm not sure I'd order the "Reaper" spice level for enjoyment's sake. That's more of a novelty or challenge-type spice level, not for most people to actually enjoy a meal. The "Chill" was akin to a Chick-fil-A spicy chicken sandwich spice level. As for what makes the sandwich so delicious, it's the ingredients: a *thick* (perhaps pumped with steroids?), very well-seasoned, tender and moist chicken fillet; crunchy, refreshing slaw and plentiful, fresh pickles on top, savory "Comeback sauce" on bottom, and a sturdy, generously-buttered bun. I asked the server what's in Scoville's Comeback sauce and she told me ketchup, mayo, and mustard. At the volume they pump these suckers out, they maintain the quality. The result is a well-crafted, high-quality, filling, and supremely-satisfying chicken sandwich that bursts with flavor, richness, and delight in every bite. It's intense and extremely yummy. The sandwiches were outstanding not only in taste, but also in presentation. The staff does a nice job "plating" the sandwiches in wrap and boxing them up for takeout. They've thought everything through. I do recommend getting the combo because the fries are a nice accompaniment. They're crinkle-cut, crispy, and are topped with the same Reaper seasoning that's used on the chicken. Be sure to get the "Scoville Fry Sauce" which is garlic aioli. It's money and packs a tasty punch of its own. This place has already been running like a well-oiled machine out of the gate. As has been reported in the AJC and What Now Atlanta, Scoville Hot Chicken is owned by Justin Lim, who also owns the highly-rated Sandy Springs ramen restaurant Okiboru (also on Roswell Road, but OTP - outside the perimeter)

F O O D hot chicken sandwich w fries medium and a hot chicken sandwich medium only. Garlic aoli and ketchup on the side: delicious. Amazing. Tasty. Perfection. Chicken moist, skin fried beautifully.

This place deserves a 10/10 review. Food 10/10 Ease of ordering 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Customer service 10/10 If you love Nashville style hot chicken sandwich, add this place to your must visit list. Sandwiches are not just hot/spicy but they have an amazing taste with different levels of heat/spice to choose from. We ordered 2 sandwich fries combo, one Hot and other Extra Hot. Extra hot was super delicious but I couldn't handle the heat, I think I'll stick to hot from next time chicken was well seasoned, perfectly cooked and juicy. fries were hot n crispy and generous in portion. Coleslaw was very fresh. Currently they have a very limited menu. (Only sandwich & fries) This is definitely my new favorite hot chicken restaurant. I hope they maintain the standard and taste consistency of the food.

I enjoy Scoville Hot Chicken. The reaper will light you up. Ordering takes a minute to figure out and the sandwich is a little pricey but it is consistently good. Sometimes I just cut it in half and get two meals. The slaw and pickles are a nice touch.

Wow I'm impressed! My partner and I needed a pick me up since we've been intermittently eating plain lettuce for 3 days lol. There's 2 self ordering screens in house and a seating area at the opposite wall. (Which I appreciate bc I would've been eating this in the car, and I don't think that would've been the neatest, cleanest, or appreciated since we are selling our car soon) We both got a medium level sandwich bc we were scared. Honestly, you can handle the hot. Get the hot! I'm coming back for the hot tonight! You can tell from pictures but they put the whole chicken in the sandwich, ITS HUGE! The flavors , the spice, the juicy tenderness, it's all there. The bun appears to be brioche. The sandwich comes with delicious coleslaw and several pickle slices that you can for who, but don't! It's so good and completes the sandwich well. I also ordered a sweet tea and to my surprise it was "Tropical sweet tea" which kind of tastes like a mix of pineapple and peach. It's good! You can get reaper seasoning in a small ramekin for $1.00. I didn't do it bc I didn't want to cry. Lol Overall, we paid 17.xx for our 2 sandwiches and a tea! I really loved my sandwich. Could've shared one with my partner and been satisfied but I'm glad I got my own! Coming back soon and bringing everyone I know!

First impression...delicious! Good chicken. Good fries. Fast service. Scoville packs a punch and gets it right. I ordered the sandwich combo that comes with French fries for $10. I think it's a steal based on the portion sizes. The sandwich is huge and you get a ton of fries. Initially, looking at the fries I was like...ugh these are going to be salty. But I was pleasantly surprised. They come seasoned, and I'm not sure if you can opt out but they are gooooood. I didn't get the Cole slaw on the sandwich bc I'm not a fan of mayo, but I think you should try it if it's your thang. Lol the sandwich does come with a mayo based sauce that I forgot to delete, but I just wiped the excess off. It wasn't bad; it was a seasoned mayo sauce. Again, you'll probably love if you're into mayo. On this Friday night, it was jumping!! Inside and out. It's next to Crab 404 so if you're familiar you know how small that lot is. There is parking in the back. But, I lucked up on a lady coming out when I got there. You can order from a "kiosk" which makes the ordeal somewhat contactless. They have some limited seating. Ppl were eating inside, but I assumed they live far bc there's no way I'd eat inside. I mean it's not like we're in a pandemic or anything, right. Needless to say, I got my food and left ! And I was double-masked up. Highly recommend. I didn't give 5 stars bc I want to go back again and ensure consistency!

Yum! Hattie B's is getting some good competition for best hot chicken place in Atlanta. Scoville is a pretty new restaurant that serves only one meal item of hot chicken sandwiches, and they do it well. Not sure what the store looks like during non pandemic times, but right now they have two tablets on the walls for you to order from. Once the order goes in, there are a couple of tables to sit at while you wait for your order to be called. I got a sandwich with the spice level hot (slightly spicier than a Serrano) and their strawberry lemonade. Total wait time was about 15 minutes. These sandwiches are monster sized and filled with so much flavor! The coleslaw and pickles added some texture and crunchiness to the sandwich while the chicken was perfectly seasoned and amazingly spicy. The fries were also seasoned pretty well. Unfortunately I am taking a star off (wish I could do half a star) because the strawberry lemonade was way too sweet and the sweet tea my boyfriend had was probably one of the worst ones I've had in my life. I really wish their restaurant-made drinks were good since you definitely need one for the spice!

I'm so happy this place exist. I went twice last week because I loved it the first time I went. Simple menu which to me typically means one thing: they know what they are good at, and stick with it. They offer a chicken sandwich with fries. Decide your heat level and if you want slaw and pickles. I love the kiosk ordering system. They text you when your order is ready, which took maybe 3-5 minutes on both my visits. Limited seating due to Covid. First time I got the medium and really liked it. I thought even the medium was pretty hot. It was a delicious, juicy, crispy, spicy treat. Highly recommend! On my second trip I tried the hot. To me, and I'm not a wimp, it was a little too much. I don't need to sweat to prove a point. Spicy is good, but too spicy isn't my thing. To each their own. I can't imagine going hotter than the hot. The fries are solid crispy crinkle fries. Cooked just right and the portion was generous. I didn't even finish my fries on either visit, partially because the sandwich is so big and juicy. This place will do well. Some people compare it to Hattie B's. I was never impressed with Hattie B's to be honest. Scoville's?!?! I'm a fan. I bet I hit this place for lunch at least once a week.

We ordered online for pickup at 5:45 pm on a Saturday night. That was the move because there was a line to order when we got there. It said it would be ready in 10 minutes, but it ended up being 18 minutes. We got the Scoville Hot Chicken Sandwich Combo, which included fries ($10). We did Medium spice and it was the perfect level of heat. The chicken sandwich was good. The slaw complemented the sandwich nicely. The fries were crunchy, which I like. We added the Scoville Fry Sauce (garlic aioli, 25¢). I liked it. It seems like the trend is more to set your mouth on fire with the Reaper spice level, which maybe I'm just too old for, but that sounds absolutely miserable. Overall, it was fine to try once, but it wasn't the best thing I've ever had. If you're in the mood for hot chicken, this is a decent option.

"This is the best chicken sandwich I've ever had!" This was a direct quote from my husband after taking his first few bites of his hot chicken sandwich at Scoville Hot Chicken (although he ordered his 'medium' spicy). We dined at Scoville for lunch the other day and we LOVED it! We will definitely be returning! I tried calling ahead to confirm they were allowing in person dining - although I couldn't find a phone number anywhere - because they don't have one! I sent them a message on Instagram and they replied within a minute or two. They told me they prefer to communicate online so I'd suggest reaching out to them on social or through e-mail if you have any questions. You walk inside and order from the monitors mounted on the right hand wall (which takes Apple Pay - woot!!). I am going to assume they have cleared a lot of the tables out for covid/social distancing, however there were three small high top tables (large enough for 3 people) and a large bar top table with stools should you decide to dine in. There was one of the same high top tables outside when we visited as well. They have a simple menu (which I appreciate): hot chicken sandwich that comes with coleslaw and a sauce (or you can leave those off or on the side). You can choose from several levels of heat, ranging from 'no heat' all the way to 'reaper'. I tend to enjoy relatively spicy foods and enjoyed the 'hot' heat. It was spicy but still enjoyable, and left a spicy sensation on my lips for 30 minutes or so after eating. They use high-quality all natural chicken, with no antibiotics or hormones. And while I'm not typically a soda drinker, I was curious to try their soda machine. It's a brand called Stubborn Soda and contains no artificial sweeteners and no high fructose corn syrup. I enjoyed the Agave Vanilla Cream soda flavor. If you're looking to try out a delicious chicken sandwich that comes with great service, I'd highly recommend trying Scoville Hot Chicken!

8.25/10 Tenders 9/10 sandwich Chicken perfectly well cooked. Juicy with just the right amount of spice. My cousin got the sandwich which he got with the pickles, coleslaw and side of fries. The coolness of the slaw and pickles perfectly balance out the heat of the chicken. All in all I'm typically not one for spice, but when in Rome. Would recommend great quality and taste for the price.

This place definitely lived up to the hype! The menu is very limited with just hot chicken sandwiches and a few sides like slaw and French fries, but what more do you need? This is some of the best hot chicken that I've ever tasted outside of Nashville, and the meat is so juicy and perfect. I love spicy food and went with the Extra hot here. While the flavor was amazing, I would have been more comfortable with the hot (extra hot was just too hot for me) and will just get hot next time. Also, make sure you get the garlic aioli, at least on the side. It's free and delicious. I was also very pleased that the chicken sandwich is only $8 and it's huge. They could have easily gotten $10-$12 for it, so I appreciate the value. For drinks, the pineapple cream soda was interesting, I liked it. I can't wait to make it back to Sandy Springs for another stop at Scoville. This place is fantastic.

After reading others reviews, I may have to go back and try this again. The contact-less ordering gets 5 stars from me. I love the ability to walk in and digitally order your special meal and wait on your name to be called. Everything here is made fresh, and it shows - it took about 15-20 minutes for our order to be ready. I chose to order a freshly squeezed strawberry lemonade (which was phenomenal) and a hot chicken combo with fries. My chicken sandwich was pretty good, and it was MASSIVE -- the packaging was also perfect. I won't lie, I don't see a huge difference in the sandwich I get here and the one that I typically order at Chick-fil-A (Spicy Chicken Deluxe). I also feel like majority of the reviewers mentioned being from Nashville/Tennessee and I've never had hot chicken in Nashville so I don't have anything to compare it to. I vow to come back and try it again when I'm extremely hungry.

Really, really good chicken sandwich. With they had more spice levels but the chicken is amazing. Tender, juicy, & seasoned just right. The fries are tasty & the garlic aioli sauce is a MUST. They also have Stubborn soda which is a major plus (pineapple cream soda & root beer are my fave - I recommend getting a little bit of each & discovering yours for yourself). You order on a touch screen & the menu is pretty simple (but a bit confusing to navigate at first tbh). The staff is super friendly & pleasant. Seating is a bit tight if you're sensitive about that but I liked the eat-in experience.

Will start off by saying I'm super glad that there's hot chicken place in the Atlanta area that you don't have to drive into Atlanta for! We got sandwiches to go from Scoville's. It shares a parking lot with a few other places to eat - a bit narrow, but plenty of spaces. We ordered sandwiches inside at a kiosk, and got our food within 5 minutes - super quick service. Staff were wearing masks but it's not heavy enforced for customers (or not that I saw at least) and there's also some limited indoor dining. They have hand sanitizer available and it's pretty openly spaced out, with some fun designs on the wall. The menu itself is very small - it would have been great to be able to order hot chicken tenders, and maybe other add-ons like mac n cheese or banana pudding. I skipped the fries but did add the garlic aioli sauce they include just to try it. The sandwich was good! I got it with the standard sauce, coleslaw, and pickles, I think that's the way to go. I got medium heat but definitely could have gone up to hot; the medium wasn't really spicy at all. Flavor was good, my sandwich fell apart almost instantly due to the sizing of the chicken but I think that's a good sign it's genuine meat you're eating. The garlic aioli was definitely garlicy but also a little sweet. Overall, I think Scoville has great sandwiches at a great price! The menu was a bit small and I don't know how often I'd go unless I'm really hankering for a sandwich, but if you are it's a good spot to hit up. I'd recommend "sizing up" your order if you're looking for heat, except please don't hold me liable if that means trying the Reaper.

The best hot chicken sandwich I have ever had! The combination of bread, meat and slaw...everything is just right. I'm not good with hot spices but they give you a plenty of spicy level and even when you choose lower level, it's still very flavorful and tasty!

This past year I've avoided spicy foods and .. most restaurants actually.. due to really bad morning sickness for a lengthy duration of my pregnancy. I was looking forward to hitting up some of the yummiest spicy food joints in atlanta soon post partum. Nashville hot chicken being one of them! Due to having a newborn at home, we're doing a ton of delivery, and decided to try Scoville Hot Chicken off UberEats. [FOOD] Hot chicken sandwich+fries -- $14.35 (UberEats price) I loved how the sandwich combo came in a tidy box with a sticker annotating how spicy it is (I ordered Medium). Everything arrived hot and crispy and it looked very appetizing despite the pictures I posted. The cross section of the patty was thin, but the patty was very wide -- much wider than the bun housing it. The chicken was unfortunately dry, maybe this was because it was a delivery order. The seasoning that's crusted on to the chicken was very generously applied. I feel like it was way too salty for me and my husband, but I can see how it would taste really good in moderation or if the patty itself was thicker to balance the heavy seasoning. The fries that came with it are crinkle fries and seasoned with the same chicken seasoning. Honestly, I enjoyed the fries more than the sandwich. Potato salad -- $3.60 (UberEats price) Because the sandwich was super salty for our tastebuds, we were so glad we ordered potato salad! It's a southern style potato salad for sure, very rich and creamy. Cole slaw -- $2.40 (UberEats price) Don't forget to add more coleslaw to your sandwich if you find it too salty (or too spicy!). It was crunchy and sweet, perfect balance to the salty/spicy hot chicken seasoning. [OVERALL] I can't speak to the dine-in service, but our delivered items were well packaged, decently priced for the portion received, and the food arrived crispy and hot. I'm not sure if I'll try Scoville Hot Chicken again, I might have tried them on an off-day! I would have preferred a thicker chicken patty as I see in other pictures. My sandwich had a thin patty which made the seasoning out of balance with the sandwich.

First time here, read a few reviews that said it is similar to the chicken from Hattie b's. So I thought I'd give it a go. Well they are not similar and Hattie b's has its own different taste and chicken type... Overall this places chicken was really good, no wait time, instant order n pickup. Their sauces are good as well.
