Dave's Hot Chicken Omaha: Menu, Prices & Locations

Omaha is a steak town that quietly loves fried things — this is the home of the Reuben and of Runza, after all — so Nashville hot chicken was always going to find a seat at the table. When Dave's opened here, the lines that formed looked exactly like the ones everywhere else: skeptical at first, then regular. Now there are two of them, one in midtown and one out west.

Where to find Dave's Hot Chicken in Omaha

Your two options split the city neatly. The Saddle Creek Road store sits in midtown, close to Aksarben Village, the UNMC medical campus, and the Blackstone district — the dense, walkable, everyone-drives-through-here part of Omaha. The South 180th Street store is the West Omaha pick, out in the newer Elkhorn-side suburbs where parking is plentiful and the drive-up crowd lives. Between them, most of the metro has a Dave's within a reasonable drive.

Both carry the identical menu and the same seven-level heat system, so the only real decision is which side of town you're on. The exact addresses and phone numbers are in the directory above.

The Omaha menu & prices

The Dave's Hot Chicken Omaha menu is the same tight lineup you'll find chain-wide — that's the whole idea. You're choosing tenders or sliders, a heat level, and a side. Here's what both Omaha stores serve:

• Tenders & sliders — the core, at any of the seven spice levels from No Spice to the waiver-only Reaper. Combos run about $10.99–$11.99.
• Mini sliders & Dave's Bites — the shareable, mix-your-heat formats.
• Hot Mozz — fried mozzarella, the viral add-on.
• Sides — kale slaw, mac & cheese, crinkle fries, and Top-Loaded fries.
• Shakes & slushers — and in a Nebraska winter, a shake doubles as the fire extinguisher.

For the full breakdown with numbers, the complete menu with prices and the calories guide cover every item. First time? The what-to-order guide keeps you out of trouble.

Neighborhoods with a Dave's

Omaha's Dave's locations sit in two very different parts of town, which is handy:

• Midtown / Saddle Creek. Central and busy, near Aksarben, the med center, and the Blackstone food district — the crossroads store for anyone working or living in the core.
• West Omaha / 180th. The suburban, car-friendly pick out toward Elkhorn, with easy lots and the growing west-side neighborhoods around it.
• Old Market & downtown. No Dave's in the historic downtown itself, but both stores are a short drive from the Old Market and the College World Series crowds at Charles Schwab Field.

Ordering in Omaha: parking & hours

Parking is an Omaha strong suit — this isn't a coastal city where you circle for twenty minutes. The 180th Street store is pure pull-in-and-park suburbia, and even the midtown Saddle Creek spot has real lot parking by big-city standards. Both are built for quick pickup and dine-in.

On hours, plan for roughly 10:30 AM to 10 PM Sunday through Thursday and 11 PM on Friday and Saturday, but treat that as typical rather than gospel — Dave's is a franchise and hours drift by store and season. The hours guide covers the usual pattern, and Google Maps has the live answer. Delivery runs on DoorDash, Uber Eats, and Grubhub from both locations.

Find your exact Omaha location and hours

Two stores, opposite ends of town — pin the right one before you drive:

• Google Maps — search either address for live open/closed status and today's exact hours.
• The official locator at daveshotchicken.com/locations for addresses straight from the source.
• The Dave's app — order ahead so it's ready when you arrive.

My honest take

Omaha makes Dave's easy: two well-placed stores, forgiving parking, and a city that already understands the appeal of something crispy and comforting when it's cold out. Pick midtown if you're central, 180th if you're west, order the two tenders with fries at Medium your first time, and keep a shake handy.

In a town this serious about its steaks and its Reubens, Dave's earns its lane by being fast, consistent, and exactly as hot as you're brave enough to order. Get the order dialed in, choose a heat you can finish, and enjoy.
