The Real Story

The OG. The legend. The place where it all started. Locals respect the history but say this location doesn't quite live up to the original that burned down. Still a pilgrimage worth making. As the original Nashville hot chicken restaurant, Prince's set the standard for authentic Nashville hot chicken heat.
