The Real Story

Family-owned and community-first, Momma Joy's has been serving Antioch and the Opryland corridor since 2022. A participant in the Music City Hot Chicken Festival, they bring the kind of cooking that comes from actually caring about every order. The southeast Nashville neighborhood they serve has few hot chicken options this good.
