DAVE'S HOT CHICKEN – Restaurant

Southwest Florida's first Dave's Hot Chicken opened on Dani Drive in March 2026, tucked off Colonial Boulevard near the interstate. The room turns on one question: how much heat can you take. Hand-breaded tenders and sliders are rubbed with a chosen blend climbing from No Spice through Lite Mild, Mild, Medium, Hot and Extra Hot to the Reaper, which comes with a signed waiver attached. Numbered combos add fries, pickles and Dave's Sauce; kale slaw, mac and cheese, cheese fries and Hot Mozz sit alongside. Open daily from eleven until close to eleven, and later on weekends. Milkshakes are advisable.
