April 26. That’s the official opening date for LoveBird — Almost Famous Chicken (2101 S. Florida Ave.).

Situated in the former Beacon Starbucks location, the long-awaited Nashville hot chicken-style restaurant has been teasing followers for weeks leading up to the big announcement + will open its doors in just 6-days at 4 p.m.

The soon-to-be-hot spot (literally) is featuring menu items like a chili-infused, hot honey chicken sandwich, fire-roasted apple cobbler, jalapeno bacon corn, and of course, Nashville hot chicken.

Leah, co-owner of LoveBird alongside her husband, Jeremy, was able to answer a few of our burning questions. Here’s what we learned:

Q: Will LoveBird have a drive-thru or will it be carry-out + dine-in only?
A: LoveBird will offer drive-thru, carry-out, and dine-in options. The drive-thru will operate with the same flow as the former Starbucks location.

Q: What is the number 1, must-order item off the menu?
A: Leah says the number 1 must-order item is The G.O.A.T Sandwich or the Nashville Hot Chicken — aka, what they’re known for.
