Having had real Nashville hot chicken, I can confidently say that this restaurant comes as close to it as it can get. This restaurant makes their hot chicken, fresh, and it is well seasoned and juicy. You will not leave unsatisfied. I also want to give a shout out to their incredible french fries.

KūKri is absolutely amazing! Honestly I am shocked there are no really good pictures reviews on here yet! The service was friendly, and the food was honestly so flavorful and delicious.
