Founded in 2014, Hot Chicken Takeover started as a pop-up window in Columbus’ Olde Towne East neighborhood. Today, we have restaurants throughout Central Ohio and one restaurant located just outside Cleveland.
Since day one, Hot Chicken Takeover has been serving made to order, Nashville-style hot chicken and delicious sides.
Hot Chicken Takeover attracts an eclectic mix of customers, striving to build community around long shared tables, making the experience feel more like a backyard barbecue or block party. So when you come, be ready to introduce yourself and have a good time.
Hot Chicken Takeover is about way more than food.
Beyond an amazing community of customers, HCT provides supportive jobs to men and women who need a fair chance at work. Be it homelessness, previous incarceration, or another barrier to employment, HCT employees are wildly ambitious and have set their sights on what’s next. Once hired, we support their financial stability, personal growth, and professional development with an array of benefits.
