If you crave hot chicken, make the drive to Chicken Fire at 2425 E Colonial. Their chicken is crispier, juicier, hotter, and has a better meat to breading ratio. Their fries have better seasoning. And their workers are friendlier. The best things about this place are that it's convenient to east Orlando/Oviedo, has plenty of parking, and outdoor seating in the shade.

Food was okay. Not much flavor if you ask me. Ordered combo 2, 2 sliders and fries. The fries are lukewarm, but still good. Split the sliders with my mom. She got the mild and I had the reaper. I like that you can choose 2 different spice levels. To be honest, the reaper is not that spicy. I felt her mild tastes the same as mine. Maybe they didn't put enough spice on mine. Btw, you need to sign a waiver if you order the reaper.

Delicious. Only knocked it down 1 star because I ordered a mild slider but there was no way it was mild. Half way though my nose was running and ears popped and I have a pretty high spice tolerance. Still great food nonetheless lol

TL;DR: chicken is pretty good, prices are a bit high for what you get, location is small, staff were very courteous. So we've been here twice; one of the times we wanted to dine in, but seating was very limited and there weren't any seats available, so we got it to go instead. The other time, we were just grabbing to go (not that that mattered because again there were barely any available seats. I will say that the staff both times were very warm and helpful with our questions. The atmosphere is pretty basic. A little bit o... read more

It's been a while since I came here, but I definitely think it's a contender for the hottest chicken in the city. The reaper tender is no joke. The heat starts slow, but it creeps up on you as you eat until it becomes too much to handle. Heed the waiver! I also got the regular hot tender while I was there and it was delicious. Definitely order in instead of doordashing. They make everything to order, and getting hot, fresh fried chicken is one of God's greatest gifts to man. The atmosphere is fun with a really trippy desig... read more

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.
