    Nashville-style hot chicken restaurant seizes hot spot near SMU Dallas

    One of the most popular of the new Nashville hot chicken places in town is about to hit Dallas: Hot Chicks Nashville Hot Chicken will open a location at 5609 SMU Blvd., with an opening date set for March.

    The restaurant is taking over the space on the ground floor of the Shelby building previously occupied by a Twisted Root burger joint, which closed in July 2019 after a decade.

    Hot Chicks is the fast-casual restaurant from One Entertainment (Landmark Bar & Kitchen, Texas Republic, The Yard, Playground in Fort Worth; Theory Nightclub, Cutie Pies Pizza, Playground Bar in Uptown Dallas) that does scratch-made, Halal, dairy-free, peanut-free hot chicken, with heat levels varying from "none" to "Hot AF."

    The concept began as a pop-up in Fort Worth, before finding their first permanent location in Plano, at 1885 Dallas Pkwy., which they opened in late 2020.

    Sam Sameni, Principal of One Entertainment, says the SMU location checked off a lot of boxes for what they wanted.

    "It's near SMU, in the middle of everything and so convenient - right off US-75, near Greenville Avenue, and there's lots of parking," he says.

    They make nearly everything inhouse, not only coleslaw and sauces but also their own crinkle cut fries, hand cut daily, which is unusual.

    "It's more time-consuming and more expensive, but we feel like it's definitely worth it," he says.

    Bread is baked and delivered daily from a local artisan bakery. The chicken is Halal, dairy and peanut free in hopes of being more inclusive. The menu also boasts a grilled hot chicken option for the health-conscious and gluten-free consumer.

    Their menu includes tacos, mac & cheese, plus loaded and seasoned fries.

    They're also doing another trendy item: "boozy slushies," including frozen and spiked versions of sweet tea, lemonade, Big Red, and a Super Claw.

    Other locations coming soon include Willow Park, west of Fort Worth, which they'll open in April.

    In addition to dine-in service, Hot Chicks offers curbside pickup and delivery through DoorDash, Grubhub, and Uber EATS. Guests can also order ahead by calling the restaurant, and they're also now offering online ordering.

    "That has been a big surprise, even with the pandemic, what a large percentage of our orders are to go," Sameni says.

    A cult-favorite sandwich from Colorado has made its Dallas debut: Snarf’s Sandwiches, a sandwich shop chain from Boulder has opened its first location in Dallas at 2337 W. Mockingbird Ln. #150, in a small center just west of Maple Ave.

    According to a release, it's the first of five locations that will open across Dallas in the coming months. We will soon have many Snarf's.

    Snarf's is named for its founder Jimmy "Snarf" Seidel, and is known for its oven-toasted sandwiches and bold, quirky personality. Since launching in 1996, they've earned a following for made-to-order sandwiches and are known for their proprietary blend of giardiniera peppers and signature bread.

    As their website says, they're "ridiculously good."

    They have a bakery that makes their bread using their signature recipe. It's partially baked, then the store finishes the process by toasting each individual sandwich when they make it to order.

    Sandwiches come in nearly two dozen options, including an Italian sandwich with salami, pepperoni, capicola, mortadella, & provolone; plus meatball, egg salad, prime rib & provolone, corned beef & Swiss, pastrami & Swiss, brisket w/ BBQ, French dip with provolone, rotisserie chicken, portobello, eggplant parmesan, and artichoke & feta. Sandwiches come in 7-inch or 12-inch sizes and prices range from $13 to $18.

    There are also soups and entree-sized salads for $12.30 including a Cobb, a Greek salad, tuna salad, and chicken salad; plus sides like potato salad and coleslaw, and cookies for dessert.

    The other four locations coming to Dallas include:

    • Lakewood Shopping Center, 1908 Abrams Pkwy.
    • Pavillion North, 7615 Campbell Rd. #104
    • Dallas - Preston Hollow, 11810 Preston Rd.
    • Dallas - Snider Plaza, 6630 Snider Plaza

    The chain now has nearly 50 locations across Colorado, Missouri, and Texas, including Austin. Part of their ethos is to cultivate a local presence with community support for schools, local nonprofits, and neighbors in need.

    The Dallas location offer dine-in, takeout, online ordering and catering. Diners can expect a colorful, welcoming atmosphere that reflects the brand’s funky roots.

    “We’re wildly excited to finally bring Snarf’s to Dallas,” Seidel says. “This city has amazing energy, deep-rooted food traditions, and a real sense of community—everything we love. We’re excited to be a part of it—not just by serving high quality food, but by showing up for the people who live and work here.”
