From TikTok hype to reality, a well-known chicken spot has made its way into the St. Louis area. With its grand opening that took place over the summer, Dave’s Hot Chicken has become the new talk of the town. Originating in Los Angeles, California, the restaurant chain has slowly expanded to the Midwest and landed in Chesterfield, Missouri, where it has received a positive response from customers.
“I would say [rush hour times], during the week, 11 [a.m]. to 1 [p.m.], and at night, 5 [p.m.] to 8 [p.m.],” general manager Tim Lewis
said. “Saturdays almost all day long, and Sunday after 1 o’clock.”
Even with the constant flow of customers, employees remain composed, guaranteeing a welcoming experience for everyone.
“You just have to work as a team, as a manager,” Lewis said. “You have to be positive. As far as the people go, we got to go out there and have a chat with guests. We do a pretty good job of acknowledging this when they come in.”
With a warm welcome and flavorful food, Dave’s Hot Chicken has already made its mark in St. Louis.
“I think it’s gonna be the next best thing,” sophomore Elaina Keen said.
