Dave's Hot Chicken, the LA-favourite fast-food chain renowned for its Nashville-style hot chicken, made its Saudi Arabian debut in July last year on Tahlia Street in the Al Olaya district, and the first drive through location in early August of this year on Othman Bin Affan Street.
And now a second drive through location, and a third restaurant has been unveiled.
The newest location of the hot LA-import, and Drake backed diner, Dave's Hot Chicken has officially opened at Al Yasmine, Anas Bin Malik Road.
Dave's Hot Chicken in Riyadh
Hailing from the west coast of the United States, the chicken-centric eatery, known for its drool-worthy and Insta-friendly, crispy fried chicken tenders and burgers with customisable spice levels, has quickly gained a dedicated following worldwide.
The newest Riyadh locations on Othman Bin Affan Street and Anas Bin Malik Road, not only marks Dave's Hot Chicken's committed expansion into the Middle East, but will also offer Riyadh locals easier and quicker access to the celebrity backed fried chicken as the brand introduces the first drive-thru branch in the region.
With its signature seven-level spice scale, from "No Spice" to "Reaper," the restaurant caters to a wide range of heat preferences. Beyond the chicken, Dave's Hot Chicken offers a menu featuring sliders, tenders, fries, and sides, all with the option to be customised with various spice levels.

Celebrity Backed Chicken Shop
Backed by celebrities such as Drake, Academy Award winning actor, Samuel L. Jackson, NFL-alum and TV personality Michal Strahan, its unsurprising that Dave's Hot Chicken had an estimated value of over $17.6 million for year ending January 5, 2020. However, according to Restaurant Dive, franchising has lead to a sky-rocketing in the brand's financial performance and value, and sales are expected to exceed more than $400 million.
The opening of a second location in the capital is a testament to the growing popularity of bold and flavourful cuisine in the region.
Building on this success, Dave's Hot Chicken is set to open its second drive-thru branch on Anas Bin Malik Street in Riyadh later this year.
Tahlia Street Al Olaya, Riyadh 12241. Open daily from 11am - 2am
Uthman Ibn Affan Branch Rd. Al Izdihar, Riyadh 12485. Open daily from 11am - midnight
