I had a takeout order from Crimson Coward, and my response is that this restaurant needs more locations. I had the fried onion, Crimson chicken sandwich, chicken and waffles, as well as the chicken burrito. The fried onion was seasoned close to what you would expect, but the Crimson sauce made it much more enjoyable. All of the chicken items ordered were spiced medium. Anything over medium, have your palate ready to handle the heat. The Crimson chicken sandwich was my favorite because of the combination of bread, chicken, and condiments. Crimson Coward embodies the flavor you would expect from Nashville hot chicken. If you can find a location near you, it's a must.

Crimson Coward serves up some of the best Nashville hot chicken around — crispy, juicy, and full of bold flavor. The heat levels are perfect for any spice lover, and the sides hit the spot. Great food, fast service, and definitely worth a visit

I was initially supposed to meet a lender at the coffee shop next door but I was hungry and he suggested we come here. I’m glad he did because I was hungry and I don’t drink coffee. The chicken strips I had were juicier and bigger than the average size. The mild sauce was an added bonus. I had never had them before but I would definitely get them again. Must try if you haven’t.

We will definitely be back! Sandwiches are HUGE and delicious. Enjoy the spice! The mild has a decent kick to it. The sauces were a great compliment. We had the chicken sandwich, Texas toast and split some fries. Trying the loaded fries with tenders next time!

Awesome but a bit pricey. It is a lot of food. Ordered the Full Coward and took the majority home. Mild has a hint of heat but the medium is perfect.

Crimson Coward is a fantastic restaurant with delicious food. I had a great experience Yesterday dining there. The menu offers a a lot of tasty options, and everything I tried was cooked to perfection. The atmosphere is welcoming, making it a perfect spot for a casual meal or a special occasion. One thing that stood out to me was the excellent service. The cashier, Juan, was incredibly helpful and friendly. He made sure we had everything we needed and provided great recommendations. His positive attitude really enhanced our dining experience, He was also nice to our little girls! Overall, I highly recommend Crimson Coward for anyone looking for great food and outstanding service. I'll definitely be coming back!

What's up, my fellow viewers! It’s your boy, the Food Preacher. Let’s jump right in! My daughters love visiting this restaurant because the chicken is cooked to perfection. It's juicy, and packed with flavor, and you can choose your preferred level of seasoning, ranging from mild to extremely hot. The portions are also quite generous. However, the atmosphere does leave something to be desired, likely because it’s still a new establishment. On a positive note, the staff is dedicated and great to talk to about chicken recipes. I appreciate how they use pickles to tone down the spicy seasoning. Additionally, their mac and cheese has improved; it’s now creamy and very cheesy, so be mindful of your calorie intake! Pics - Coming Soon!

The food was amazing and the service was incredible. They have some crazy food items in the menu. I will definitely come back to see the other options. The service was so good. They forgot to add Mac and cheese to our sandwiches but the manager realized it quickly and gave us extra Mac and cheese on the house.
