Dave’s Hot Chicken Officially Opens In Great Falls

10th Ave S in Great Falls is already one of the busiest stretches in Montana, packed with places to shop and grab a bite to eat.

Well, starting this Friday, you’ll be able to add one more restaurant to that list because Dave's Hot Chicken is officially opening its doors.

From California Parking Lot to Global Restaurant Chain

Honestly, the story behind Dave’s Hot Chicken is pretty wild.

The company started with three childhood friends in California, one of whom happened to be a professionally trained chef, serving hot chicken out of a parking lot.

Less than 10 years later, they’ve grown from that tiny setup into more than 280 locations around the world.

Now they’re bringing their take on Nashville hot chicken right here to the Electric City.

Dave’s Hot Chicken Great Falls Opening Date And Hours

Part of what makes them so popular is the simplicity of the menu. You basically pick tenders or sliders and then choose just how spicy you want things to get.

And yes, their hottest level, called “Reaper,” actually requires you to sign a waiver before ordering it.

Besides the chicken, they’ve also got fried mozzarella sticks called “Dave’s Hot Mozz” along with cauliflower options for people wanting a “not chicken” choice.

The official opening day is Friday, May 22. Hours will run Sunday through Wednesday from 11a to 11p and Thursday through Saturday from 11a to Midnight.
