Outlanders Southern Chicken

Tenders and Wings in Nolensville
The fried chicken dinner is the reason to come, and the buttermilk biscuits and mac and cheese round it out into a full meal. Counter-service and fast, with a staff that keeps the line moving even when the room fills up, which it does. Good for families grabbing a quick, filling stop before or after anything else on the calendar. Prices stay squarely in the budget column.
Outlanders Southern Chicken sits on Nolensville Road in Nolensville, a small old-style building with fun decorations and a hometown feel. Diners who had passed it many times and finally stopped in often say it beat the bigger chicken names. Service is welcoming, and staff ask first-timers if they have questions about the menu.
Tenders are the main event, juicy and large, and the Nashville hot chicken has real heat. Wings are a solid second order, in bone-in and boneless forms with a long list of sauces. Diners rave about cali-gold and honey mustard, and the honey boom boom wins over some diners although other sauces divide opinion. The fried buffalo mac and cheese balls, the fried pickles and the loaded cheese fries make it easy to build a shared table.
Portions run large for the price, and a combo called the Yard Bird can feed two. One diner noted a faint oil taste once, so asking for fresh from the fryer helps. Takeout and catering are options for groups.
Insider tip
Call ahead for large orders, especially during weekend dinner rush when families are picking up their Sunday meals.
