What our guests are saying
The whole staff was welcoming! Ask if I have been there, help me out with there popular items and the levels of heat of their chicken. 10/10 for me! We love the atmosphere, and the service! Definitely well recommended. The chicken sliders were delicious and big, fries were perfect.

I love Bred Hot! When I lived close by, I would eat Bred Hot at least once a week. The chicken is delicious and I like getting it spicy. I also enjoy their waffles and their syrup is good. Their sauce goes very well with the chicken. And I love that you can see them making the food by hand.

This food was so good! We got the sandwiches, and the chicken was juicy and tender. Like holy pickles this was a great sandwich, popping with flavor and heat. The comeback sauce is where it’s at. Fries were good and the mac was great. Can’t wait to come back.
