I love these guys when they’re on their game. Honestly, I was familiar with them from another town and have been surprised to learn after moving to Nashville that they still hold up against the Nashville Kings and Queens. I feel that the heat levels can be a little inconsistent. I order executioner, and sometimes it’s not as hot as other days. Sometimes they forget to spice it entirely, still great, though. Prices are a little high, but everything is crazy high in the north gulch/capitol view area.

Here on a Thursday. Door and Google say open through 9 pm. Was told that they were closing at 8:30 when we got here at 7:56, by a girl at the register, and our food then was brought in to-go containers to an inside booth. Saw between the lines and ate outside. We saw 7 people turned away at 8:12. We did not get offered any dipping sauce and half of our sides were not delivered. Coming from out of town, I’m so disappointed to be lied to and cheated by this place. Would NOT recommend.

Always fresh, hot & Juicy Chicken! The spice levels are a good spread & all are deliciously flavored. The fries are well seasoned.

Dropped in during their soft opening and WOW! We are Nashville locals, so have tried most of the hot chicken places and this is my favorite. Simple menu with really flavorful hot chicken. Beats Hattie B’s chicken (sorry- I said it) and I can’t wait to come back and try the fish!

I’m very happy to see Big Shake’s open a store in a busy area of Nashville. Their hot chicken is easily the most underrated in the Middle Tennessee area. As with the other Big Shake’s I’ve reviewed, this new location in The Gulch serves up delicious food in good portions at a reasonable cost. I went with the hot chicken tacos (my usual order) in stop drop n roll with the jalapeno crème fraiche. The seasoning for their fries is outstanding, so I always order extra. For whatever reason my phone’s camera isn’t doing the tacos justice, but they’re superb. The Gulch location is bigger than their other stores, and it’s a good thing. They were fairly busy when I went to grab my pickup order. The wait time was a little longer than anticipated, but nothing egregious. There’s a patio with nice overhead lighting that’s welcoming. The interior dining area is spacious with seating for plenty of customers, and it would seem there’s even a bar where patrons can be served beer, but that appears to still be in need of finishing touches. Overall, Big Shake’s is my go-to for the best Nashville hot chicken, and their newest store doesn’t disappoint. Once again, well done Chef Big Shake and co.

The last 2 months the food hasn’t been as tasty and flavorful. Flavor has not been consistent. They have been out of items the last 2 times. I went last week and forgot items from the order. I hope they get better. The things that placed them off ahead of Helen’s for me are the flavors were consistent, they were organized, and had accommodating and great customer service. They also discontinued the whitening fish. Smh this is the location in the Gulch.

We stopped for a quick drink during happy hour and we were told we had to wait till the bartender was off of break to grab our drinks.. mean while she was sitting at the bar right next to us and listened to our order. There was not one person in the entire restaurant. Once she was “off her beak” 15 min later, she got us the wrong drinks. Only good thing I can say is the cashier was super sweet but was underage and couldn’t grab our drinks.

Great service! The BEST chicken I have probably ever had in my 30 years of life. Only in Nashville this weekend but coming here again. My husband and I are OBSESSED. We will be talking about this food for a while.

The hot chicken tenders were great, with just the right amount of heat. The sides were dang good as well!
