Dave’s Hot Chicken, a Nashville-style hot chicken restaurant, is coming to the District on Oak.
The District on Oak is a development owned by Engage Management at 1120 E. Oak St. next to Conway Family Bowl. The fast-casual spot will fill out the District, which also includes Jersey Mike’s and Cold Stone Creamery.
Dave’s Hot Chicken was founded in 2017 in L.A. The first brick-and-mortar opened in 2018. Now, the restaurant has more than 280 locations across the globe. AY Magazine reported last year that the restaurant had plans for expanding into Arkansas, including two locations in Little Rock and one in Fort Smith.
Dave’s specializes in chicken tenders and sliders. The restaurant has seven spice levels, ranging from no spice to reaper, made with the Carolina Reaper pepper. It also offers a cauliflower alternative, Dave’s NOT Chicken, as a healthier alternative. Sides include crinkle-cut fries, mac and cheese, and kale slaw. Dave’s also has loaded fries, shakes, and slushers.
No word at this time on an open date.
