Josh's Take
White's Fish, Hot Chicken & Bar-B-Que is at 3801 Dickerson Pike in North Nashville. It is a Black-owned counter shop, and the official line is fish or chicken, with BBQ on weekends.
Reported hours are Monday to Thursday 11 AM to 8 PM, Friday and Saturday 11 AM to 9 PM, closed Sunday. Some aggregators show Tuesday to Saturday instead. The old 'closed Monday' line does not match the official site. Check before you go.
A named heat ladder and a whiting sandwich as the must-order were not confirmed. Order from the fish, chicken, and weekend BBQ description instead of the old ladder.
