The new restaurant will be open Monday – Thursday, 9:15am until 10:00pm, Friday from 9:15am until 11:00pm, Saturday from 10:00am until 11:00pm, and Sunday from 10:00am until 10:00pm. 

The fast-casual concept specializes in Hot Chicken Tenders and Sliders, along with several types of sides. Offered at seven various spice levels ranging from No Spice to Reaper. The hand-breaded chicken utilizes a proprietary spice blend crafted specifically for its heat level.

“Dave’s Hot Chicken will blow your mind! Every Tender is hot, juicy and spicy,” Bill Phelps, Dave’s Hot Chicken’s CEO, said in a press release this week. “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 four short years ago. We are ecstatic to be opening our first restaurant in the city of Chicago!”
