Popular US Chicken Brand Expands Birmingham Presence
The cult American fried chicken brand Dave's Hot Chicken has confirmed it will open its second Birmingham location next week, marking another significant step in its UK expansion. Following the successful launch of its first city centre branch in July 2025, which replaced the former Ask Italian restaurant on the corner of New Street and Bennetts Hill, the brand is now bringing its fiery offerings to Resorts World Birmingham.
Grand Opening Details and Location
The new Resorts World branch will officially welcome customers from noon on Friday, November 28. This strategic location at the popular entertainment complex will be the brand's fifth UK opening this year, joining existing sites in London, Manchester, and Stevenage.
Jim Attwood, Dave's Hot Chicken UK managing director, expressed his enthusiasm for the new venture. "Resorts World Birmingham is the perfect next step for us as we continue to grow across the UK," he stated. "This vibrant destination combines outlet shopping, entertainment, and leisure in a way that perfectly matches Dave’s energy and attitude. We’re thrilled to open the doors to our second Birmingham location and welcome both new and returning fans to experience our signature spicy chicken in the heart of the Midlands."
What to Expect at the New Restaurant
Patrons of the new Resorts World location can anticipate the brand's signature street art-inspired interior design, creating a vibrant and urban dining atmosphere. The menu will feature the same fan-favourite items that have driven the brand's rapid growth.
The core offering includes:
- Seven distinct spice levels of Nashville-style hot chicken
- Fully loaded fries with various toppings
- A selection of classic sides
- Rich, creamy milkshakes
- Icy Slusher beverages
The restaurant will operate from 11am to 10pm from Sunday to Thursday, extending its hours until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays to cater to late-night crowds. This expansion solidifies Dave's Hot Chicken's growing footprint in the Midlands and offers another destination for spice-seeking food lovers in the region.
