Halal Bites for Ramadan Nights in Wisconsin
Ramadan is a time of reflection, discipline, generosity, and gathering. Across Wisconsin, Muslim families, students, and communities observe the month in ways that are both deeply personal and beautifully communal.
At Roaring Fork Restaurant Group, we’re grateful to serve halal-observing guests throughout the year — and especially during Ramadan evenings, when gathering around a shared meal carries extra meaning. As the locally owned franchisee of Dave’s Hot Chicken in Wisconsin, our team members live and work in the same neighborhoods they serve, from Milwaukee and Madison to Green Bay, Kenosha, and beyond.
Every Dave’s Hot Chicken restaurant worldwide serves 100% halal-certified chicken — including all of the Wisconsin locations operated by Roaring Fork. Combined with extended evening hours, that consistency makes it easier for families and friends to gather comfortably after sunset.
Open Late Enough for Iftar
No matter which Wisconsin city you’re in, our Dave’s Hot Chicken locations remain open late enough to comfortably accommodate iftar. All restaurants are open until at least 10PM nightly, with many serving guests even later.

100% Halal-Certified Chicken
Halal certification matters. It provides reassurance that food has been prepared according to Islamic dietary standards. That's why you can find an official Halal certificate at the counter of every Dave's Hot Chicken restaurant.
Full Menu, Full Flavor
At Dave's Hot Chicken, you get the best of both worlds:
- Consistency: All chicken is halal-certified (and delicious)
- Variety: 7 different spice levels ranging from No Spice to Reaper, plus a slew of sides
There’s no need to navigate partial menus or ask which items qualify. That consistency makes planning easier — especially during a month centered on intention and care.
Easy Group Meals for Iftar Gatherings & Eid Celebrations
Hot Boxes are designed with group dining in mind. They include jumbo sliders or tenders, fries, and flexible spice options — making them practical for:
- Family iftar dinners
- Mosque-hosted community meals
- Muslim Student Association gatherings
- Study groups
- Workplace iftar events
Instead of coordinating multiple orders, one group meal keeps things simple — so the focus stays on conversation and connection.
For larger gatherings or workplace events, you can explore additional group options through our local catering options page.
From Ramadan to Eid al-Fitr
As Ramadan comes to a close, the celebration of Eid al-Fitr brings families and communities together once again.
Hot Boxes can be a practical option for casual Eid gatherings, and larger group ordering or catering options are also available for those planning bigger celebrations.
As a locally owned company serving communities across Wisconsin, Roaring Fork Restaurant Group is grateful to support these gatherings in whatever way we can.
Here (& Halal) for the Moments that Matter
Dave’s Hot Chicken locations throughout Milwaukee, Madison, Green Bay, Kenosha, Appleton, Wauwatosa, Menomonee Falls, Grafton, and Baraboo are proud to serve halal-certified chicken year-round. During Ramadan, late evening hours simply make it easier for families and friends to gather without feeling rushed.
From all of us at Roaring Fork Restaurant Group and Dave’s Hot Chicken, we wish you a peaceful and meaningful Ramadan.
Ramadan Mubarak.
