Editorial Review for Prince's Hot Chicken Shack – by Jim Myers
In Short
Some like it hot, and at Prince's, it's "beads-of-sweat-forming-on-the-brows-of-grown-men" hot. Inside, booths seat about 20 people and straw fans adorn the walls. There are four heat levels: mild is for those who like "spicy" food; for the neophyte, medium induces sweating; hot is a quasi-religious experience and extra-hot is fine if you have no plans for the next 12 hours. Sides of beans, slaw and potato salad are tasty heat extinguishers.

Insider Tips
What to DrinkSkip the carbonated drinks and go for lemonade. The fizz only makes the pain worse.
Save TimeThe kitchen gets backed up late at night (when you most want some). Waits of an hour are not uncommon, so call in that order first.

PLEASE BEWARE IF YOU PLAN TO EAT AT PRINCES THERE WAS A RO@CH IN MY FOOD MIXED IN WITH THE PICKLES. AND TOO MAKE MATTERS WORSE WHEN I CALLED THE NEXT DAY TO INFROM THE MANAGER OF THE PROBLEM SHE LAUGHED AT ME AND SAID " I HAVEN'T SEEN A RO@CH IN HERE IN A LONG TIME!" "I KNOW WE DONT HAVE RO@CHES CAUSE THE MAN COMES AND SPRAYS EVERY WEEK." HOW STUPID DOES THIS SOUND, THEY BASICALLY DID NOT TAKE THE SITUATION SERIOUS AND TRIED TO BRUSH IT OFF. i NEVER ASKED FOR MONEY BACK OR FREE FOOD BUT THE MANAGER INSTANTLY SAID IF IT IS FREE FOOD YOU WANT YOU CAN'T GET IT UNTIL I SEE THE RO@CH. FIRST OF ALL WHY WOULD I EVEN WANT TO EAT THERE AGAIN AND AS SOON AS I SAW THE RO@CH I THREW EVERYTHING IN THE TRASH. SO THE MANAGER WAS VERY RUDE AND SHE WAS LAUGHING AT ME NOT APOLOGETIC AT ALL. THIS IS SO SAD BECAUSE AT ONE POINT I REALLY ENJOYED THE FOOD. BUT NOW I WILL NEVER EAT THERE AGAIN THEY NEED TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR RO@CH PROBLEM!!!!
Cons: RO@CH IN MY FOOD

If anyone knows anything about the pledge process to join a fraternity, it can only be described as a painfull hell that no one would ever want to experience more than once. Amazingly, that is the same thing as Prince's Extra Hot chicken, the very same chicken that they made the pledges eat! To sum it up, Prince's Extra Hot sent me on a legitimate trip similar to a psychedelic substance. My face was numb, my lips were huge, and I could not feel my hands. My eyes were open but I was seeing insane colors. The taste of the chicken happened to be great until the heat of 1,000 suns set in. Think you can handle spice? Go for it. But be warned, do not attempt to show off or be a hero. This chicken is the real deal.
Pros: Cheap, enjoyable, memorable
Cons: Location and service
