Dave’s Hot Chicken Bringing The Spice to Mesquite

A Dave’s Hot Chicken is in the works for 1505 N Town East Blvd in Mesquite . The related filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation indicates an open date in the first quarter of 2025.

Dave’s Hot Chicken is a fast-casual restaurant chain founded in 2017 in Los Angeles, California, by four friends: Dave Kopushyan, Arman Oganesyan, and brothers Tommy and Gary Rubenyan.

The restaurant began as a small pop-up in an East Hollywood parking lot and quickly gained a dedicated following due to its unique take on Nashville-style hot chicken. Known for its spicy chicken tenders and sliders, Dave’s Hot Chicken offers a customizable heat level ranging from “No Spice” to “Reaper,” catering to various tastes.

The menu includes simple yet flavorful items such as chicken tenders, sliders, fries, and sides like kale slaw and mac and cheese. Diners can enhance their meals with add-ons like extra pickles, cheese, and Dave’s signature sauces. Since its inception, Dave’s Hot Chicken has expanded rapidly, with multiple locations across the United States and Canada. Learn more at www.daveshotchicken.com
