The Real Story

Germantown's neighborhood hot chicken spot where the beer program is as serious as the chicken. Eight housemade sauces, cheese biscuits, and the only place in Nashville doing a Fire-Roasted rotisserie alongside traditional Nashville hot. The Fowl Mouth sandwich has a serious local following.
