About this business

TO LIVE AND FRY IN L.A. In 2017, four childhood friends came up with a simple concept — take Nashville Hot Chicken and make it better than anyone else in America. With only a couple thousand dollars to their name, they boot-strapped a pop-up concept in a parking lot in East Hollywood serving a simple menu of tenders, sliders, fries, and kale slaw — they created a viral cult following with lines consistently over an hour long.

I finally got around to trying the Hot chicken in Waterford . Fast food is so expensive everywhere but it still catches me off guard. It was 9.99 for a slider and fries. However, the slider was big, I'd consider it a sandwich. It was a little too dry for me but the heat was pretty tasty. I chickened out and got medium, could have gone up one level. But it was decently spicy and came with a ton of pickles , hurray for that .I'd go back but wouldn't rush there.

Walking into Dave's, we were greeted right away by two friendly employees willing to answer our questions. Every piece of chicken here is served as a white-meat tender. I do feel their prices are a little steep but I understand that chicken is expensive. Inside is quite small with maybe 4 tables available, one being a 2-seater. There are outdoor seating options, but it is summer time & Florida's humidity after the rain is not an ideal environment to eat burning hot chicken. I appreciate that Dave's offers an extensive ra... read more

High quality chicken for an above average price, as to be expected of the Waterford area. The service was great and so was the food. Came here on recommendation and it was certainly worth the hype that was given. I'd recommend if looking for good chicken and somewhere new to eat.

The food is really good, but as greedy as I am I want more fried for my serving. This place is also kind of pricey, but I like their quality of food and it's tasty!

Dave's never disappoints! Got the slider w/fries this time. Staff is always super friendly and I can't wait to come back again. Very laid back atmosphere and was typical seating that you'd find in a fast food restaurant.

Dave's always has good quality, good tasting chicken. The heat levels are vast, and having tried the medium, hot, extra hot, and the reaper, I'll say they have something for everyone. Good, quick food for when you're craving chicken. I was definitely not expecting to have to sign a waiver for the reaper heat level.

Today I visited Dave's for the second time. Unfortunately, on my first visit I ordered "extra hot" tenders, not realizing this was the first place in history that actually meant it!! After the Orlando Fire Department put out the five-alarm blaze in my mouth, I was eager to give them another try. I went with medium heat this time and everything was excellent. Don't be discouraged by the fact that you only get two tenders with the order. Each tender is approximately the size of a small county so you'll still get full. The fri... read more

This place was pretty decent. It gets really busy in the evening. We went in and guy at the register was really helpful. Good enough for quick bite to eat. Chicken by itself was mediocre. Pickles were soo good. Chicken tastes better with sauce and everything together. I would come back.
