According to recently filed permits, Hella Hot Chicken is looking into a new location in addition to its current site at 516 Bell Rd. The second space is slated to be located near BNA International Airport at 509 B Donelson Pike, likely opening sometime over the next few months. A more precise opening timeline is forthcoming and pending construction and permitting efforts.
Hella Hot Chicken is helmed by owner Samir Aramanuous, who opened this first location in Antioch in 2019. Its menu offers classic Southern fried chicken in varying spice levels, fried catfish sandwiches, as well as comfort food side dishes like onion rings, french fries, baked beans, potato salad, coleslaw, and mac and cheese. Combo meals are also a popular menu option, ranging from $13.75 for a six-piece and $17.25 for an eight-piece meal.
Donelson Pike has seen a decent amount of recent growth in the food and retail scene, including soon-to-open Salento Italia, SweetMilk, and reportedly, a location of Cheba Hut Toasted Subs.
The new location of Hella Hot Chicken will be approximately 1,000 square feet and is slated to have operating hours of 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. like its original location. What Now Nashville reached out to Aramanuous for additional information but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
