  Whether you go for tenders, sandwiches, or other offerings, the base is well‑prepared – the chicken tastes fresh, the breading is crisp (at least initially), and the quality of ingredients shows. Great flavors!

  Best chicken you can get - so much better than Popeyes or KFC - huge tenders, even more huge thighs…. Plus vegetarian and vegan options… this place rules

  If you’re looking for the best hot chicken in Indianapolis, Joella’s Hot Chicken is a must-try! The chicken is always crispy, juicy, and full of flavor with spice levels for everyone—from “Southern” (no heat) to “Fire-In-Da-Hole” (extra hot). The menu goes beyond just chicken—try the mac & cheese, sweet tea, and their famous waffles for the perfect comfort food combo. Portion sizes are generous, prices are fair, and the food comes out fresh and hot every time. Joella’s is also family-friendly and kid-friendly. The restaurant has a relaxed, casual atmosphere that’s perfect for families, and kids can enjoy milder chicken or tenders with fries. It’s a great place for a quick lunch, casual dinner, or even takeout. ✅ Crispy, juicy Nashville-style hot chicken ✅ Family-friendly + kid-friendly dining ✅ Great sides (mac & cheese, fries, waffles) ✅ Comfortable, casual atmosphere Whether you love Nashville hot chicken or just want to try something new, Joella’s Hot Chicken delivers bold flavor and great service every time.
