The Nashville-owned and -operated hot chicken restaurant Hattie B’s is coming to South Lamar in fall 2023.

The restaurant will be located at 2529 S. Lamar Blvd. in the former home of Maria's Taco Xpress. It will be the third Hattie B’s in Texas, falling behind the Houston and Dallas locations.

In addition to the hot chicken, sandwiches and classic Southern side dishes, Hattie B’s will offer craft beer, alcoholic slushies and cocktails on tap.

“We've always wanted to open in Austin," said Nick Bishop, Jr., co-founder of Hattie B's Hot Chicken. "It just makes sense given the similarities between Austin and Nashville. Both cities enjoy a great culture with thriving music scenes and diverse food offerings, and we can't wait to add our hot chicken to the mix.” www.hattieb.com
