Eugene's Hot Chicken - Uptown

We stopped in for a quick bite.
I'm definitely a fan of hot chicken and Eugene's did not disappoint.
Had a quarter dark combo and the food came out super hot and in decent time for a busy as they were.
Cozy but fun atmosphere with a small section of outside seating.
I ordered mine hot and it was good had nice heat definitely have to get the damn hot next time.
My wife got the southern style and the flavor was good.
I highly recommend checking them out.
To me they are a good competition for Hattie B's in Nashville.

From the outside, Eugene’s Hot Chicken looks modern, like one of those franchise places that's been around forever and has a loyal following.
Step inside, and you'll notice the seating is super limited—there's literally a standing-only table right in the middle.
You place your order at one window and pick it up at another, or wait for your number to be called if it's busy.
There's a covered patio for when the inside seating fills up.
Oh, and there's a refill station for unlimited Coke, which you'll definitely need because "Hot Chicken" is in the name, and they mean it. The staff who took our order were friendly and professional, and the waitress who brought our food was really nice.
I ordered the mild chicken tenders and waffles, and they were plated so nicely, with the waffles on one side and the tenders on the other.
It looked almost too good to eat.
The tenders tasted like they were homemade, with just a gentle kick of spice—so, if you're daring, watch out for the hot ones.
The waffles were perfect: crunchy on the outside and spongy on the inside, exactly as they should be.
The chicken came straight from the fryer, piping hot and delicious. Value for money Chicken and Waffles tenders $14.50 Raising Cane’s 3- Piece Combo $8.49 Popeyes Handcrafted Tenders Diner $8.99 Eugene’s Hot Chicken Tenders and Waffles are significantly bigger than either Cane’s or Popeyes and the waffle was made in house so personally I think I got my money’s worth.

My first time at Eugene’s and they didn’t disappoint.
The food was great and the service excellent.
You’re able to sit in inside the restaurant or outside on the patio area.
We chose the patio area on this beautiful Thursday day.
I had the two-piece dark(hot)/waffle with collard greens and french fries with a side of Alabama white sauce for dipping and it was so good.
My daughter had the chicken tenders and fries.
The chicken is well seasoned.
And my husband got the two-piece (hot)with collard greens and fries!!! Hot was not too hot, but just enough spice.
Everything was great.
We will definitely be back💕💕
