Dave's Hot Chicken

What to know

In 2017, four childhood friends turned a few thousand dollars and a parking-lot pop-up into a national phenomenon by perfecting Nashville hot chicken. Their straightforward concept — excellent tenders, compact sliders, seasoned fries and crisp kale slaw — went viral, spawning lines that proved the product spoke for itself. Bringing that hustle to Orlando’s Florida Center keeps the original spirit intact: big flavor, fast service, and a reminder that great restaurants can start from nothing and grow by word of mouth.
