Dave’s Hot Chicken opens first of 10 restaurants in Dallas area

 Dave’s Hot Chicken, the scrappy late-night pop-up turned hot chicken sensation, today announced the grand opening of its newest restaurant, and first in the state of Texas, located at 14750 Preston Road in Dallas. The new restaurant will celebrate its grand opening on Friday, May 28, and will be open seven days a week from 11am until 11pm.

The fast-casual concept specializes in Hot Chicken Tenders and Sliders, along with sides of house-made Kale Slaw, creamy Mac n’ Cheese and crispy French Fries. Offered at seven various spice levels ranging from No Spice to Reaper (which requires a signed waiver for those who dare), each piece of juicy, hand-breaded chicken utilizes a proprietary spice blend crafted specifically for its heat level.

This is the first Dave’s Hot Chicken restaurant in Texas, and is part of the company’s nationwide expansion planned over the next three years. The brand began a few years ago as a parking lot pop-up and drew lines around the block, with rave reviews by its fanatic Instagram followers. In the coming years the brand will open a total of ten locations in the Dallas area.


“Dave’s Hot Chicken will blow your mind! Every Tender is hot, juicy and spicy,” said Bill Phelps, Dave’s Hot Chicken’s CEO. “Our founders started Dave’s as a parking lot pop-up restaurant in Hollywood with a portable fryer and picnic tables from their backyards just three short years ago.  We are ecstatic to be opening our first restaurant in Dallas!”
