"East Nashville’s Spicy Boys is hosting a Mardi Gras party on Saturday, February 10 from noon to 10 p.m. The restaurant is churning out boiled shrimp for the occasion and serving up king cakes. New Orleans Mardi Gras parades will be live-streamed throughout the day." - Bailee Mulder
"Named by Chris Hughes as one of the "awesome concepts" forming a "murderers' row" around the Yard on East Congress, Spicy Boys is cited as part of why he thinks East Congress will be the next great spot." - Erin Russell
"I visited Spicy Boy’s in a historic East Nashville home in the Maxwell neighborhood, where Cajun and Creole classics like shrimp po’boys, chicken-and-andouille gumbo, Natchitoches meat pies, and beignets are served from 11 a.m. to midnight Tuesday through Sunday at 924 McFerrin Avenue, and the full bar includes frozen daiquiris." - Eater Staff
"Housed in a 1936 East Nashville home in the Maxwell neighborhood, Spicy Boy’s (924 McFerrin Avenue) is a no-frills counter-service Louisiana restaurant from Baton Rouge native and Loyola graduate Justen Gardner Cheney that opened March 5 and debuted its bar last Wednesday. Cheney and his family bought the former Sweet Bean property about three years ago and, after renovations, nearly doubled the space to 1,500 square feet with room for 42 seats, adding a long bar as well as table seating. The menu leans into Cajun and Creole classics—Natchitoches meat pies (a Louisiana version of the Spanish empanada with spicy ground meat), chicken and andouille gumbo, fries topped with debris (shredded roast beef in gravy)—and an extensive po’boy selection (fried Gulf shrimp or catfish; fries and debris; Mississippi fried catfish; smoked sausage; and more), with all po’boys served on Leidenheimer French bread imported from a circa-1896 New Orleans bakery. The full bar serves Louisiana-style frozen daiquiris, and Cheney hopes the spot will become popular for watching LSU and Saints football; Spicy Boy’s is open Tuesday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to midnight." - Stephanie Carter
