Dave’s Hot Chicken, the West Coast-based spicy chicken restaurant, is landing in Boca tomorrow, March 14.

Starting in Los Angeles with just a few portable fryers and folding tables, Dave’s Hot Chicken has made its way across the country since its 2017 debut, attracting investors ranging from Wetzel’s Pretzels co-founder Bill Phelps to rap megastar Drake along the way. Its new Boca Raton location on State Road 7 marks the brand’s first expansion into Palm Beach County.

Chicken and side dishes from Dave’s Hot Chicken

The Boca outpost is designed with maximum West Coast vibes, with vibrant graffiti art decorating the walls. Here, guests can enjoy Dave’s hand-breaded, spiced to order chicken and tantalizing sides from house-made kale slaw to creamy mac and cheese and crispy fries. Chicken heat levels range from one to seven, from no spice to the volcanic Reaper—so spicy that the daring must sign a waiver to order. Pair your spicy chicken with a top-loaded milkshake to kill the burn.
