UPDATED AGAIN: The owner Abraham was nice enough to comp a replacement meal and it was absolutely executed as I originally expected. The halal chicken was deliciously cooked to perfection The Carolina Reaper sauce is truly what is supposed to be so if you're not a professional great seeker, this isn't for you! It was absolutely fire with the crispy skin sauce to perfection so you got that sweet hot that Nashville hot chicken is known for. The tenders are also moist, and a healthy serving. The desert donuts with glaze are a must have to cool off the palate.
Abraham is an upstanding owner who cares dearly about his patrons and the quality of service and good put out at HCK. My original 1 star review is officially upgraded to 5 out of 5!
UPDATED: I received a personal follow up phone call less than 24 hours after from the owner. Abraham was very concerned about my experience and reiterated that the issue had been dealt with as it relates to quality and standards of HCK Hot Chicken. He has totally rectified the issue and there's a replacement meal in my future. This was the fastest, most professional response I've ever received from a flood establishment and it's more than appreciated. Kudos to HCK & Abraham!
Original: I ordered the 8 piece bone in with Carolina Reaper sauce on the chicken. I requested the chicken be cooked well done. It was a combo with fries. The fries were cooked perfect and seasoned. The chicken was raw. Out of the 8 piece I could safely eat 2 pieces. As a cook, you know the texture of fine chicken versus underdone. The fact I asked in the comment section of my grub hub order to cook the chicken well, maybe I upset the chef because I got a $16+ box of raw chicken. Red, purple and pink to the bone. The thin film covering raw chicken was still encased over the flesh. Evidence it wasn't fries long enough. The fat balls under the skin were still very much there, yellow and disgusting. More everywhere the chicken wasn't allowed to cook out. Now these aren't thin wingstop type wings. They are huge and need time to cook they ESPECIALLY when the order instructions specify cook well done😩Never again.
My son ordered the chicken tenders. Granted you only get 2 strips for the combo price, at least they were good, and...
Read moreIn the heart of our culinary exploration lies HCK Hot Chicken, a sanctuary for those with a penchant for exceptional flavors and impeccable service. As we entered, the warm ambiance and the inviting aroma of freshly prepared dishes set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience.
Our journey began with the Fried Krinkle Kut Pickles, a delightful appetizer that elevated the humble pickle to a gastronomic marvel. Each slice, expertly fried to a golden crisp, offered a satisfying crunch that was both aural and gustatory pleasure. The texture was perfect, each bite a harmonious blend of tang and crunch, creating an ideal prelude to the main course.
The highlight of our visit was the Nashville Style Chicken Sandwich, a masterpiece of culinary craftsmanship. Nestled within a toasted artisan potato bun, the house fried chicken was succulent and flavorful, dipped in our chosen sauce to add a personalized touch. The sandwich was further adorned with krinkle kut pickles and topped with a generous helping of home-style coleslaw. The combination of the tender chicken, the creamy coleslaw, and the tangy pickles, all brought together by the HCK signature GOOD sauce, created a symphony of flavors that danced on our palates.
The service at HCK Hot Chicken was nothing short of exemplary. The customer service staff exuded warmth and attentiveness, ensuring that our every need was met with a smile. Their dedication to providing an exceptional dining experience was evident in every interaction, adding a personal touch that made us feel truly valued.

Read moreHot Chicken as me and my little cousins call it is a weekly lunch spot for us. Usually, we opt for the 2 piece tenders meal in the (plain) country style or the kid meals with boneless wings as my cousins do not do spice as they are 4 1/2 and 6 1/2. HCK has 4 hot sauce levels and I have tried 1-3. I think 3 Angry Hot is my favorite. It is just spicy and sweet enough where I still enjoy the chicken, but if you can't handle much spice I recommend the 1 Base or 2 After Burner. My husband likes the 2 After Burner. The fries are always delicious, crispy, and seasoned. The Good sauce and honey mustard are our favorite dipping sauces. I like the #1 meal too the chicken sandwich, but I don't really like coleslaw so I get mine without. The donuts with the cinnamon sugar and icing on the side are good. My cousins love them.
The restaurant is always clean and the staff is always friendly and helpful. Abe, the owner is informative, outgoing, friendly, and always has a smile on his face and ready to help his customers. My little cousins are so happy to see him and he greets them everytime with a smile and hug and takes a few minutes to talk with them. Abe goes above and beyond with his customer service. We love HCK Hot Chicken and will continue to support this...
