Nashville-based Hattie B’s Hot Chicken will open a new restaurant at Clift Farm in Madison in late spring 2027. The popular chicken chain will bring its signature spicy fried chicken and Southern comfort food to its second North Alabama location.
The restaurant will occupy a standalone building at 8210 Highway 72 West. It will become the brand’s fourth location in Alabama.
New Madison restaurant to feature indoor and patio seating
The upcoming Hattie B’s will cover approximately 3,000 square feet. It will also include a 1,000-square-foot covered patio for outdoor dining.
Clift Farm developer Louis Breland said the restaurant will strengthen the development’s dining lineup. He also noted the project’s goal of attracting businesses that make Madison County a destination for residents and visitors.
Hattie B’s co-founder Nick Bishop Jr. said the brand looks forward to expanding in Madison. He also thanked North Alabama customers for supporting its Huntsville restaurant.
Menu features spicy fried chicken and Southern favorites
Guests can expect Hattie B’s traditional Tennessee meat-and-three menu. The selection includes fried and grilled chicken, savory sides and classic Southern desserts.
Popular choices include the Half Bird Plate, Classic Chicken Sandwich, Jumbo Tenders and Dirty Bird Fries. The loaded fries feature pimento mac and cheese.
Customers can also choose from five signature spice levels: Mild, Medium, Hot, Damn Hot and Shut the Cluck Up! For those who prefer less heat, the restaurant offers Southern and Sweet & Smoky dry rub options.
Clift Farm location expands Hattie B’s Alabama presence
Hattie B’s first entered Alabama about a decade ago with a restaurant in Birmingham’s Lakeview neighborhood. Since then, the brand has continued growing across the state.
The chain opened its first North Alabama location at Stadium Commons in Huntsville in December 2025. It later expanded to Auburn in July 2026 at the historic Tiger Theater site.
Now, the Clift Farm restaurant will bring the brand’s menu to more customers in Madison County. Hattie B’s expects to open its doors in late spring 2027.
