What was once a good food truck in Nashville is now a great restaurant in Nashville!
Setting up shop in “grungy” garage-style digs, this Wedgewood-Houston sequel to a wing-wielding food truck turns out “tantalizing” smoked-then-grilled chicken, “indulgent” mac ’n cheese and “inventive” moonshine cocktails (classic Kool-Aid is a selling point, too). Multiple screens ensure “you can catch the game” while “helpful” servers bring on the birds. Source
Jim and I have been there twice in the past 5 days.
We like it because it’s different — more than just another restaurant that serves chicken. The chicken is served in a way that we’ve never had at any other restaurant. Nothing is fried. Everything is smoked.
I think it’s funny that their motto is: “Skip The Breasts, Go Straight To Thighs!”
They’ve definitely given me (someone who always chooses the white meat / breast meat when eating from a whole chicken or turkey) a reason to love the dark meat / thigh meat from a bird.
I never thought I’d enjoy a meal that was comprised solely of dark meat. But I’ve been to Smokin Thighs twice since discovering it last week, and I can’t wait to go back again… soon.
