Dave's Hot Chicken
Tenders, Sliders and Seven Heat Levels
Dave’s Hot Chicken serves Nashville-style chicken at 341 West Esplanade Drive, Suite F. Tenders, sliders and bites lead the menu, with fries and shakes alongside them. There are seven seasoning levels, including a no-heat option, so a group can order different spice levels without changing restaurants. The Oxnard restaurant serves halal chicken.
Inside the Slider
The slider combines chicken with a potato bun, kale slaw, pickles and Dave’s sauce. Order it with fries for a meal, or choose tenders if you want the chicken without a bun. Bites offer another way to order the same chicken-focused menu. A shake makes a sweet finish after a spicy meal.
A Late-Night Stop
The Esplanade Drive restaurant offers takeout and mobile ordering and stays open into the late evening. Highchairs and wheelchair access are available. The hours shown here follow the restaurant’s own schedule; the final ordering time can differ from closing, so a quick call is useful if you are heading over near the end of the night.
What Customers Love
Customers love the hot sliders and crisp fries, and Fatima’s patient, friendly service helps first-time visitors feel welcome. If you’re unsure which heat level to choose, ask the team for help.
