Dave’s Hot Chicken

Dave’s Hot Chicken ignites Holly Springs Towne Center with Nashville-style heat, serving halal-certified tenders and sliders in seven spice levels, from No Spice to the waiver-signing Reaper. Guests queue at the counter for freshly fried chicken piled on butter-toasted bread, kale slaw, and Dave’s signature sauce while the crew works the fryers in full view.

Combos pair jumbo tenders or sliders with crinkle fries, and popular upgrades like Top Loaded Fries add crunchy kale slaw, pickles, and extra sauce. Diners can chase the spice with house shakes layered with toppings, or opt for cauliflower sliders and bites when meat-free heat is the move. Portions stay generous enough for sharing, whether you dine in or carry out.

Graffiti murals, neon signage, and hip-hop beats set a lively fast-casual mood inside, balanced by patio tables for fresh-air bites. The late-night 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily hours, mobile ordering, and kid-friendly perks like highchairs make it a flexible stop before or after the nearby AMC DINE-IN. A Wake County inspection on April 21, 2025 awarded the restaurant an “A” with a score of 96, underscoring clean operations alongside the heat.
