Slow Burn - Review - Watkins Park - Nashville - The Infatuation

"There are people out there who swear by the blistering birds from Slow Burn. For us, it hasn’t quite been the same since it closed its East Nashville location (along with the Madison and Hendersonville outposts). They’re still bringing the “heat” though (sorry), albeit from a food truck and a new delivery-only space in Midtown Foods. There’s crispy, tongue-numbing bliss to be found here, especially in some of its more unique creations, like the hot chicken apple fritters—an unexpected flavor combo that you’ll find yourself thinking about at random times during the day. photo credit: Casey Irwin photo credit: Casey Irwin photo credit: Casey Irwin photo credit: Casey Irwin Pause Unmute" - Jackie Gutierrez-Jones

It was tasty. The egg rolls were the star. I will say the spice levels don't disappoint. The spice out powers the lemon pepper so I was not happy with that combo. I will definitely try the lemon pepper by itself. We also ordered the apple fritter chicken sandwich. It's massive I couldn't finish it Definitely enough for 2 people.

First time in Nashville so i had to try someone’s famous hot chicken! Hattie B’s was oddly closed on a day they say they’re open so we tried this place. I’m ready to fly back just for another plate (or 4 lol)

*Take this with a grain of salt (or cayenne), I am a hot chicken snob. As a Nashville native, I've been eatin it since as long as I can remember. It's not old Prince's, it's not 400, it's not Mack's. Those are in a tier unto themselves. They are the elite, best of the best. This is next. Slow Burn is in the next tier. Solid flavor, excellent texture, spice levels are pretty accurate. But with this you can go hotter than hot. This isn't gonna melt your face off. (Which is not a bad thing at all). The food is great. Overall a must have in Nashville and it'll be in my regular rotation for sure. Go get Slow Burn.

Ive heard many good things so hope this was only a 1 off. Really didnt woo me. First trip to Nashville for some Hot Chicken. Did the apple fritter sandwhich hot (which was more mild by my taste, with the glaze on the fritter) and tenders mild. Fritter was good but chicken was dry, everything was salty. I guess a work in progress or maybe Hot Chicken isnt for me. I thought the share kitchen was a cool idea, but frankly didnt care for the location or vibe. I wish there was some level of interaction and personal touch being said thid makes this review hard to write as I focus 95% + of my meals to small, local vendors and businesses.

I ordered on Uber Eats and usually don’t post reviews but felt compelled to praise Slow Burn. I’ve had most of the hot chicken in town, but here there’s some rich and complex seasoning happening beyond the heat. Also lots of vegetarian friendly sides for those who don’t eat pork! Which I appreciate so much! Even drew hearts on my bag :) <3 can’t wait to order again and visit you irl

Each heat level has its own unique flavor, which makes this place stand out from the competition. The owner is also very friendly and is someone I always feel good to support. I get the tenders, heat level "hot."

We don't have food lockers where I'm from 🤣. When I tell you I drove around that bridge looking for a restaurant! I almost just gave up. Show burn hot chicken is not on the sign telling you which restaurants you are picking up from either. So, visitors: you place your online order and they text you when it's ready. You'll get a locker number and you hit that on your phone to get your food. The building signage is minimal but there's a lot of ppl coming and going. The lot you park in is dirty and not really a designated parking lot. The chicken was excellent. I wish I found this place earlier. Missing a biscuit but got an extra piece of chicken. Since there's no one to talk to at the window, we just rolled with that.

Hands down best hot chicken in Nashville. Use to order here when it was in East Nashville! The chicken is so crunchy and the medium is perfect heat. I’ve not been to the midtown location, only ordered ubereats.
