Palmer’s Hot Chicken, the beloved Nashville hot chicken concept with a location in East Dallas’ historic Hillside Village shopping center, will open their second location in Preston Hollow this winter at 12300 Inwood Rd #130, Dallas, TX 75244. The restaurant will be open for lunch and dinner as well as curbside pick-up and delivery on most major third-party delivery apps.
The concept was created by Texas native and Nashville-bred Palmer Fortune. Fortune and Chef/Partner Mills Garwood are known for their award-winning recipes and have quickly become a hot chicken staple in Dallas. Everything on the menu is made from scratch including desserts, signature sauces, dressings and sides. Proteins are of the highest quality with fresh farm raised catfish and gulf shrimp. The star of the show, the Nashville hot chicken takes 24 hours to make and pays homage to the original Nashville hot chicken creator, Thornton Prince. It is the authentic, original recipe without any twists.
Fortune says, “This spot in Preston Hollow is the perfect second location for us. It has the same look and feel as our other location so when you walk in you know you are at a Palmer’s Hot Chicken. We can’t wait to be in this area and support local schools, sports teams, and the overall community. Our family is here fulltime now, and we are excited to get involved!”
Guests will be able to enjoy a 2,800-square-foot space between the indoor dining area and the patio with jumbo sized Jenga, Connect 4 games and more, offering a great space for kids to play while their parents catch a break. With big fans during the summer and gas heaters during the winter, the outdoor patio will be ideal year-round.

All proteins are available in four heat levels including Naked (no heat), Novice (a l’il bit), Nashville (getting there) or Napalm (at your own risk).

Fortune says, “Dallas welcomed our first location with open arms, and we now have many regulars that are a part of the Palmer’s family. We are excited to get to know more guests in the Preston Hollow area and hopefully we will become a staple in their dining options.”
