My son wanted hot chicken so we thought we would give it a try! I got the Tim chicken sandwich, thigh meat with medium heat. Just the right amount of heat for me. I had collard greens as my side. They were really good as well. My son got the wing plate(hot) and fries. He ate one wing and he was like I can’t feel my lips lol. I tried one as well. The wing was fried well, but man it was hot! I infact could not feel my lips either! The ranch is really good and seems to be made in house. We will be back!

I saw someone on Instagram doing a review on this restaurant, so I decided to check it out. It’s a nice little place for a young crowd. There were about 10 people seated and another family waiting for takeout. We waited about twenty minutes before our order was taken. By the time the food came out, it was not hot at all. Our chicken was maybe warm. We already waited so long that we didn’t want to send the food back and wait even longer. It just wasn’t a good experience that night.

I discovered this place by accident, and I am super glad I did.
This small joint is tucked right before Small Batch bar in downtown Winston-Salem. Their menu is pretty small, consisting only of chicken sandwiches and the lone fish sandwich, but let me tell you, there is nothing else you need.
I was tempted to get the chicken and waffles, which I will surely get next time, but I opted for the fish sandwich. It is summertime, and I love seafood in the summer, and it was a home run. The batter was crispy and flavorful, so I could still taste the cod underneath all those gorgeous seasonings. I got the mild seasoning, which had a great flavor and a good spice level. The slaw also played a significant role in the sandwich too, providing some needed lightness and vegetable crunch in the crispy fish sandwich. The fries that I got with my sandwich were bomb as well, they were just crinkle fries, but that had a great seasoning on them, and the “Come back Sauce” (made with horseradish) was oh so tasty and provided a great flavor to the fries, and I ended up dipping some of my cod in it. The sauce made me think of Outback Steakhouse’s blooming onion sauce, but that is a good thing!
My Girlfriend got the chicken sandwich (The Timothy) with mac and cheese. This mac and cheese was delicious, nice and creamy, and cheesy. However, the pasta was wayyyyy overdone, but that’s understandable in this dish and a very common theme in restaurant mac & cheese.
One thing I noticed about this restaurant is that they had a hot wing challenge. If you consume the spiciest wings on the menu within a specific time frame, you get to personalize a plate, and they will stick it on the wall to commemorate the pain and heat that you endured. It is not really for me, but it is there if you are a masochist.

If you love real Nashville heat, this is the place! The chicken was juicy, spicy, and full of flavor. Loved every bite.

Awesome food!! Just a warning tho – Medium is hotter than regular Buffalo hot you get from most places. I like hot but WOW We tried the wings and thighs, fries and collards. Fries were hot crispy and well seasoned. Now I’m a collard snob…these were exceptionally good, but as expected, hot! Hubs loved it and It was satisfying to watch him devour those wings like an absolute savage. It was that good. On top in that, the entire staff was hustling the whole time, great sense of humor and hospitality, and excellent service. Even the guy bussing tables was really sweet and engaging, and very quick on his feet to keep everything tidy. This was our first time in, during a very busy convention nearby and we had an excellent experience!

I ordered the hot chicken tenders with fries, Mac n cheese and cheerwine bbq sauce. Everything was well seasoned and delicious. I will say if your spice tolerance is low don’t go for hot go for medium because the spice is no joke.

Spent the weekend in town for Wrestlecade 2023 and tried multiple local restaurants. Timmy’s Hot Chicken was a fantastic spot to stop for a meal. The ladies working was extremely friendly, answering all of me and my buddies questions about their interesting restaurant. The interior is quirky and unique with old school tunes playing. We both got The Timothy sandwich, tenders with medium heat. We also got a plate of cod in medium to split. The chicken sandwich was huge and delicious! All the ingredients meshed so well with the fantastic chicken. My mouth waters just thinking about it! The cod was also fantastic and was flaking apart and had more spicy kick than the chicken. Glad I only went medium because much hotter and I would have needed a beer, lol. Can’t wait to go back next year!

THE BEST CHICKEN EVER. My husband and I visited the city for a conference—grabbed a quick lunch the first day & on the second day came back & brought friends. We recommended this place to so many people. The food was seriously so fresh and delicious and every server was incredibly kind! CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS PLACE ENOUGH. We will seriously go out of our way to stop here every time we’re going through town.
*side note: we are spicy lovers and the medium was delicious but had our nose running (fair warning) You do have the option to order your chicken without the spice, too. We had some friends do that.

Bookmarked this spot in our minds from a recent stroll downtown and came back for lunch one day while our toddler was in daycare. Glad we did! We were not disappointed.
The first time we’ve ever had Nashville hot chicken was at Hattie B’s in Nashville. It was delicious and no hot chicken has ever compared since then. So I was a bit skeptical about Timmy’s framing their hot chicken as Nashville-styled fried chicken. That quickly changed.
For drinks, Hubs ordered the John Daly. He made drew comparisons from an Arnold Palmer, but instead, it was a John Daly because it’s spiked I think? Tito’s vodka. Preggo brain kicking in here. I didn’t get to have any, but he really liked it!
My husband ordered, “The Tim” – a fried chicken, pickle with comeback sauce sandwich with the “very hot” spice level. This was the second to hottest you could have, the hottest being hellfire. I took a bite and it tasted like perfection. The spice was just right and had a lot of flavor. Have you ever eaten something spicy that was obnoxious to be obnoxious? This wasn’t the case. Not only was it spicy, it was also very delicious. Hubby liked it and I will be ordering it next time we visit. Totally our new favorite spicy chicken around!
I ordered whole wings which was a dry rub in their signature spice, also “very hot”. I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much and probably won’t reorder. Could just be a preference. I love dry rubs, but it was not crispy as I would have expected and for some reason, it tasted really salty for me.
Hubs and I also both ordered the mac and cheese for sides and it was awesome. Definitely some of the best mac and cheese we’ve had around so all in all, a satisfying lunch! Can’t wait to come back.

I thought the chicken was flavorful. The sides were great, the greens were vinegary, not really my thing, but my wife loved them. Mac and cheese was on point. the got the hot level chicken, didn’t feel any burn, but again it was tasty. I may jump to the hottest level next time, there is also a challenge for you spicelords out there. the ranch and blue cheese were on point, felt homemade that’s a plus. Oh and don’t forget the banana pudding, truly magnificent.
