One of the country’s fastest-growing restaurant chains is coming to the Columbus metro area.

They are also landing a location right here in Delaware County.

Dave’s Hot Chicken is poised to take up a location in the Westar Neighborhood Retail Center on Polaris Parkway, between Worthington Road and Olde Worthington Road. Its arrival was signaled in late June by the unanimous approval of a Final Development Plan by the City of Westerville Planning Commission after some modifications were made to their original submission.

The other two Columbus locations are near OSU and also on Dublin-Granville Road.

Dave’s Hot Chicken was born as a parking lot pop-up restaurant just five years ago. It expanded from its original California location through franchising and has sold rights to over 700 locations in the United States and Canada.

Its “fast casual” concept features sliders and tenders, as well as sides of house-made kale slaw, creamy macaroni and cheese, and cheesy fries. Seven spice levels range from No Spice to Reaper, which requires a signed waiver for daring diners (the name is, after all, Dave’s Hot Chicken).
