Founded in 2014, HCT attracts an eclectic mix of customers eager to gather around long communal tables and sip of homemade iced tea, making the Hot Chicken Takeover experience feel more like a backyard block party than a restaurant. HCT is focused on creating impact in the communities it serves through its approach as a Fair Chance Employer.

As a result, Hot Chicken Takeover has grown to become a beloved Columbus brand in Central Ohio and beyond.
