Grace Chicken + Fish
Grace is a classic comfort food spot to get fried chicken and sides.
Grace used to have some competition in the fried chicken arena with Southern, a restaurant connected to Pappy’s, but it closed down. Most of the other chicken spots are chains like Chuck’s Hot Chicken and Dave’s Hot Chicken, neither of which I like that much. I have yet to try Hodak’s or Gus’s, the two other local spots I’ve heard of.
Although no one can compete with Prince’s in Nashville for me, I think Grace is pretty good. My biggest complaint is that the spice levels are very low - usually in Nashville I get medium or hot and I’m suffering a bit, but at Grace I can get the extra hot and still wish it had more spice. Aside from missing some heat, the flavor is great, the chicken is crispy, and the sides are good.
