Dave's Hot Chicken Opens Its First Lehigh Valley Location in Lower Nazareth
Welcome to the Lehigh Valley, Dave's Hot Chicken. The fast-growing Nashville-style hot chicken chain opened its first Lehigh Valley location in Lower Nazareth Township on September 17, 2026, with a grand opening celebration the following day. The new restaurant gives Northampton County families a convenient spot for hot chicken tenders, sliders, and sandwiches without leaving the region.
What They Offer
Dave's Hot Chicken specializes in Nashville-style hot chicken served at seven heat levels, from "No Spice" to the fiery "Reaper." The menu centers on chicken tenders and sliders, with sides like kale slaw, mac and cheese, and crinkle-cut fries, plus signature sauces and a hand-spun milkshake lineup. Guests pick their heat level and build a meal around tenders or sliders, which makes it easy for groups with different tastes.
Location and Details
The restaurant is at 3812 Easton-Nazareth Highway (Route 248) in Lower Nazareth Township, PA 18045, in the Nazareth Crossing shopping center next to Wawa. It occupies a renovated end unit and seats about 40 guests, with no drive-thru. The soft opening ran September 17 and the grand opening followed September 18, 2026.
