Southern Chicken

Opened in 2015 by the same family of people that brought one of Saint Louis’ best barbecue restaurants, Pappy’s, Southern is one of the only Nashville hot chicken restaurants in the city. Southern chicken comes in three levels, original, mild (my go-to), and hot. Southern offers an excellent selection of soul food-themed sides; including fried green tomatoes, mashed potatoes, greens, and mac n’ cheese. If fried chicken isn’t grasping your attention, Southern also offers a number of house-breaded catfish meals, a salad, or even a tofu sandwich. While Southern is takeout only due to the pandemic, their delicious Nashville hot chicken is absolutely worth taking out!
