After surpassing 100 locations earlier this year, growing West Coast hot chicken franchise Dave’s Hot Chicken continues to expand its footprint here in the Sunshine State. Tampa is about to get its second Dave’s location, this time at 2961 N Dale Mabry Highway #101, next to Raymond James Stadium.
Fans of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers will soon be able to get their hot chicken fix at the intersection with West Columbus Drive. What Now confirmed the news with a local representative of the chain on Thursday. The representative was not immediately available for further comment.
With hot chicken offerings whose spice levels range from No Spice to “Reaper” (which you’ll have to sign a waiver to try), the menu at Dave’s is a streamlined affair. The focus is on tenders and sliders served up alongside sides like Fries, Cheese Fries, Mac & Cheese, and Kale Slaw. With seven different spice levels, it’s not all or nothing; if you want your chicken spicy but not waiver spicy, there are spice levels like Mild, Medium, Hot, and Extra Hot.
Opening at the Dale Mabry-Columbus intersection, Dave’s will join a culinary community that includes Winghouse Bar & Grill, Chili’s Grill & Bar, Tropical Smoothie Cafe, and Chick-fil-A.
