“ Ordered delivery so rating only based on food. 3 piece chicken tender with your choice of heat level and a side. 14 is not a bad price for these perfectly cooked extra large very moist crispy tenders. I chose the hot rod which is the 2nd hottest. I’m a pepper head so this was an enjoyable level for me. Easily the best hot chicken I’ve had. Support the small business. Leave Raising Cane’s and Dave’s Hot Chicken alone when there are places like this serving dynamite (pun intended) chicken like this. ”
“ Pepperfire Hot Chicken is a must-visit spot for anyone who loves a good, spicy meal. I tried the Apple Jack, and it was an unforgettable experience. The hot chicken was perfectly cooked, incredibly flavorful, and yes, painfully hot—just the way I like it. If you're not used to spicy food, I'd recommend starting with the mild, as even their medium packs a serious punch. The new location is much smaller than their previous East Nashville spot, with only two tables available. It's best to plan for takeout, especially during busy times. The service is efficient and friendly, and they only accept card payments, so leave the cash at home. Despite the smaller space, Pepperfire maintains its high quality and intense flavors. The heat level of their chicken is no joke, so prepare accordingly. For a true hot chicken experience that lives up to its reputation, Pepperfire is the place to go. Highly recommend! ”
“ Great Nashville Hot Chicken! Juicy tenders, good seasoning. Fries are delicious also. Medium here seems like Hot at other restaurants. Cons: No fountain drinks, which would be ideal after eating Hot spicy foods. Left the place extremely thirsty. ”
“ Fantastic Nashvile Hot Chicken. I got the hot Rod level on the sandwich which was delicious. As a hot head, they let me try the no refunds level and it's also delicious and hot. Got me sweating for sure. Really recommend and best nashville hot chicken I've had here! ”
“ If you’re in Nashville and craving some serious heat, this spot is a must. The hot chicken here packs a punch, with different spice levels to suit any heat tolerance. The chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and bursting with flavor. The sides are just as good definitely try the mac and cheese or fried okra! ”
“ The chicken tenders were juicy and had the perfect balance of spicy heat and flavor. The hot chicken coating had a nice crunchy exterior. I ordered the Nashville Hot Chicken Sandwich with the Overdrive spice level. It had an amazing amount of spicy and flavorful heat that I couldn't stop myself from devouring it. I ordered the Collard Greens and Green Chili Mac and Cheese as my sides. The Collard Greens were tender and had a nice smoky flavor from the ham. The Green Chili Mac and Cheese was creamy with a hint of heat from the green chiles. My son ordered the Peppercheese. They have taken grilled cheese to a whole new level by deep frying it. Crunchy, cheesy, and creamy is how I can best describe this delicious meal. My wife ordered the 3 piece tenders with the Trainin' Wheels spice level. She couldn't stop telling me how delicious the chicken tasted. It is a great place to enjoy Nashville's Hot Chicken. ”
“ It was so good I forgot to take a photo of my order until I only had one and a half pieces left haha. But you can see that I recently had it again & didn’t forget. It goes without saying but everything was super good. Watch out Hattie B’s, Pepperfire Hot is coming for you! ”
“ Friendly service and absolutely amazing chicken. The chicken strips were MASSIVE, juicy, piping hot and super spicy. I love spice so I got two 4s and a 5 to try it out, will be back to try the hottest (6). Took a little longer than you’d expect and the atmosphere was a little dead but it was phenomenal food. Very unique house special dipping sauce, good especially if you like horseradish. Will return! ”
