The food is amazing. Order ahead of time because the food is amazing so the wait is long. If you don't like extremely hot food stick to the regular or mild. Even though it is hot, it is still seasoned really well. Get a ranch just in case. Enjoy!

I'm extremely confident this is absolutely the best hot chicken in town. I've tried numerous places, including the "big two." The hot chicken was perfectly cooked. Juicy on the inside and crispy breading that didn't get soggy or burnt. The hot seasoning is just perfect. Everything is made fresh and to order. Meaning, you should probably call ahead or expect a wait. It seems a lot of reviews misconstrue the owners straightforward attitude with being rude. I took everything as it was. He was very clear about how his business runs and made great recommendations based on that. Who's going to have better insight and provide better tips than the owner? I found him to be super nice, welcoming and funny. I highly suggest you ignore any post about the owners "attitude" and instead give it a try. Great food, great experience. Full recommendation!
Moore’s is always a must have when I visit family in town. It’s the first stop we make! The chicken is amazing, and consistently well seasoned/cooked. Easily the best, most authentic hot chicken you can get in the Nashville area.

Hot, delicious, Nashville chicken. Honestly the best and most authentic chicken you can get in Nashville. It’s hot, flavorful, juicy, crispy and absolutely delicious. The sides are delicious and filling. I’ve been to Bolton’s, Prince’s and Hattie B’s and this place is simply better tasting and more authentic.
Mr Moore (the owner) is very friendly and gave us great service. There’s free parking but you might need to call to place your order. If you’re looking for hot chicken, come here. If you’re looking for the place Nashville locals go for hot chicken, come here. It’s worth it.

We’ve been 3 times in the last month. It’s the my favorite of all the Hot Chicken places in and around Nashville I’ve been to. No matter how hot you get it (and I’d recommend not challenging yourself the first time because Mr. Moore can make it hot!) the chicken always has great flavor. We’ve had almost all the sides, all great! Make sure to call your order in, Mr. Moore does everything from answering the phone to checking you out, but he never runs behind the time he tells you to pick it up! Thank you and we’ll see you soon!

Best hot chicken in the area! The owner is a one man show and is working hard to keep up with the orders. There is no fluff here- he isn't trying to make you feel warm and fuzzy. He's here to take your order, cook it, and give it to you and that is exactly what he does.

I ordered the x-hot breast quarter with a side of xxx-hot chicken tenders. Both were absolutely delicious and the xxx-hot got a tear or 2 out of me. Excellent chicken at an excellent spot. Must try.

I've gone to this place a few times and the food is always consistent the chicken and fish is always fresh the baked beans are always really good same taste every single time the brisket is always consistent the tea is always good. So no complaints on my end I found this place a few years ago from an article in The Tennessean

The chicken here is stunning! This is a no frills classic Nashville Hot Chicken joint. The owner is a grizzly fellow, sort of impatient, but he's a genius with chicken. I highly recommend this place, although I hope it doesn't get too popular! It's sort of a well kept secret!!
Awesome chicken restaurant! Out first time & we will definitely be back. The chicken is amazing, the seasoning was great! Check it out if you're in the area! The owner was there service was great prompt delivery of food and very clean.
