Joella's Hot Chicken,
the iconic Louisville, Ky.-based fast-casual
restaurant known for hot chicken and made-from-scratch Southern side dishes is now open near Cumberland Mall. Locations in Kennesaw, Woodstock and Newnan are next. These metro Atlanta locations will
join five new stores set to open across Florida, Indiana and Ohio this year,
expanding Joella's footprint to five states and reinforcing its presence as the
largest hot chicken restaurant brand in the United States.
- Heat levels:
Joella's serves its hot chicken with a choice of six unique heat levels:
Southern (no heat), Spiked Honey (sweet & mild), Ella's Fav (flavor
with a little heat), Tweener (medium heat), Hot (fiery heat) and "Fire-In
Da-Hole" (waiver-worthy).
- Southern sides:
Cooked in-store daily, guests can round out their order with a variety of
scratch-made side dishes such as Creamy Mac & Cheese, Green Beans with
Bacon, Sweet Vinegar Slaw, Parm Garlic Fries and Kale Crunch Salad.
- Dippin' sauces:
Add extra flavor with Joella's selection of Dippin' Sauces, the perfect
complement to any order. Popular flavors include Bama White, a true
Southern sauce with hints of horseradish and lemon; JoJo Sauce, a mix of
Cheerwine BBQ and Honey Mustard; and Pimento Ranchero, Joella's homemade
ranch dressing puréed with homemade pimento cheese.
- Desserts:
Bring down the heat with one (or two) of Joella's sweet treats, including
Nutella® Poppers, fried puff pastry filled with Nutella® and powdered
sugar sprinkled on top; Banana Puddin', a Southern classic; and Pie-In
A-Jar, available in Cookies & Cream, Strawberry Shortcake and a
seasonal flavor.
Each of the Atlanta locations will offer counter service and large dining spaces, in addition to drive-thru access. For each new restaurant, Joella's plans to give away "Free Hot Chicken for a Year" to the first 100 visitors. Guests in line on opening day will be treated to complimentary chicken and waffles and coffee, in addition to Joella's swag.
