Music City has plenty of outstanding hot chicken places, but there are very few that can boast of culinary excellence in anything besides their primary dish. Big Shakes offers the hot chicken lover some optimal choices, available in five different temperatures. There are also multiple ways customers can order it, from wings and individual pieces to complete plates. Plus there are other specialties, including chicken and waffles, chicken salad, even chicken tacos. But for those who aren’t big hot chicken fans, the fish is just as exceptional, and the menu ranges from whiting to catfish and shrimp, available as both sandwiches and platters. Big Shakes offers curbside service and delivery, but you can dine in as well, with masks of course required. Big Shakes has quickly established itself as a primary Nashville source for equally delectable chicken and fish. RON WYNN
