Dave's Hot Chicken Launches Shareable Big Trio on Montreal Menus
The cult-favorite chain rolls out new $17.99 combo featuring bites, mozzarella, and mini sliders—available now at Montreal locations.
Dave's Hot Chicken, the Los Angeles-born chain that's built a rabid following on craveability and customization, is dropping a new shareable menu item: the Dave's Big Trio, launching today across its locations including Montreal.
The concept is straightforward but smart—pile three of the brand's most popular items into one craveable combo. You're getting Dave's Bites (breaded chicken tenders that land somewhere between popcorn chicken and wings), Hot Mozz (fried mozzarella that disappears too fast), and the Mini Sliders (which function as the anchor). At $17.99, it's pitched as a meal-and-a-half that two people can share without leaving anyone unsatisfied, or one person can demolish after a night out.
What makes Dave's work, beyond the obvious (hot chicken is objectively delicious), is the customization infrastructure. Every item can be spiced to order—from no-heat comfort food to legitimately punishing heat levels. The trio pricing effectively democratizes that experience. You're not paying premium for smaller portions; you're getting a full spread of textures and flavors at a price point that doesn't require a side hustle.
The chain has expanded rapidly through North America by targeting younger diners and nightlife crowds. Montreal's bar and late-night scene has become a proving ground for quick-service concepts that understand late-night eating as social and performance-driven. Dave's fits that pattern—it's casual, it's shareable, and there's implicit permission to get your hands dirty and make a mess.
The Big Trio is the kind of menu addition that feels inevitable once you understand the brand's DNA: take what people already love, make it easier to access, and price it aggressively. Simple, effective, and arriving at exactly the moment grilled-chicken fatigue is real.
