Nate's Nashville Hot Chicken - Paso Robles, California

They play loud, obnoxious music, and the service is lame. My fries and chicken sandwich were really greasy. There was a communication problem at the counter. Do not order the extra hot; it is way too hot for any normal human being, and I can eat it hotter than most aliens! I liked the coleslaw.

I travel from the Monterey Bay Area to LA almost weekly for work and am finding myself seeing if I can get to Nates before they close.. I don't care for spicy hot food so I get my chicken naked which has the perfect amount seasoning and spices.. try the Mac and cheese fries, the chicken and waffles and the breakfast sandwich!
My girlfriend loves the kick-it-up sauce...

I hesitated because the ratings were low, but I'm glad I gave it a chance! Food was freshly made, nice and hot. It was really good chicken. Exceeded my expectations. The young people that work there were happy and very friendly. We got our food super fast too!

One of the better Nashville Hot Chicken joints outside of Nashville! Chicken was juicy and nicely seasoned, and Hot was the perfect level of heat for me. My favorite Nashville joints add a touch of brown sugar for a slightly sweet kick, so I was missing that, but the overall flavor was excellent and true to the style.

Fries are sort of the thick beer-battered type (not my favorite style. Shake was premade from a dispenser and skippable.

Very good and I’ll return, but man, do I miss Good Ol’ Burger in this space. Best burger west of the Mississippi. No idea why the owner closed it down in favor of this place when he could have opened this separately anywhere else. Wish he’d at least serve the old Coyote Burger from Good Ol’ Burger on Big Bubba’s menu or something. 🙁

(Same owner owns most of the restaurants on this block—Nate’s, Big Bubba’s, Tortilla Town, and Rustic Fire.)

Delicious. Right amount of spice and a large portion. One order would have been enough for two people. The tender was good and crispy. Fries were well seasoned.
Unfortunately, I ordered the sandwich and tender meals but got two tender meals in my take out order. I didn’t find out until I got home. Grrrrr.
I would get chicken here again, but I would check my order before leaving the restaurant

First, I am very sad I did not take a photo! Secondly, I love spicy food🌶, love it! This was probably my most painful dining experience when it comes to spicy food, at least that I can recall.

The chicken is extremely tender and has great flavor. If you are not a fan of spice and all we can hardly handle spicy, you’re better off going with the regular chicken. Anything past the medium heat, you’re asking for the eyes to water and nose to run. They’ll warn you at the counter…

I had the chicken and waffles, again the chicken was extremely tender and the flavor that I could taste to after my first few bites was fantastic. Fries were very good and fresh. The restaurant is very clean, the service is friendly and fast. We came in as a very large group and I knocked over the entire tower of lids, after which my daughter spilled her drink all over our table and they did not kick us out! Very, very nice people working there and I plan to go back to try some of the other, less spicy options.

We ate here for lunch and the fries are really great. Super crispy but fluffy on the inside. The sandwich and tenders were not too greasy. The chicken was juicy and delicious. Would eat here again for sure!

Travelling through town stopped at Natles Nashville Hot chicken. Ordered hot chicken sandwhich, tenders and Mac and cheese.
Serving sizes are huge, I took hot level and man was it hot. Not sure what very hot and scary hot entails and I can take my heat. Too much food fast friendly service. Price is tiny bit high but lately everything is high. Mac and cheese was so creamy. It’s enough for 3 people to eat! If I’m in the area again will try it again!
