Auburn – Hattie B’s Hot Chicken opened for business in Auburn on July 16th, and it’s a homecoming of sorts for Auburn 1976 graduate, Nick Bishop Jr., who co-founded the company with his father Nick Bishop Sr.
Hattie B’s is located in the former home of the historic Tiger Theater at 121 North College Street. The 2,923-square-foot dining room will offer 72 seats while the 762-square-foot covered patio will seat an additional 52 guests. They will be open Sunday through Thursday, from 10:45 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., and Friday and Saturday, 10:45 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.
The Auburn location is the 19th Hattie B’s opened by the father-and-son duo, and the third location in Alabama, with the other two locations in Birmingham and Huntsville. They are quite famous for its bone-in chicken and tenders, with plenty of choices and degrees of hot from their sauces and rubs. They are big into catering, and their jumbo wings and jumbo tenders are great for game day tailgating.
