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.

We are so glad you enjoyed your visit and appreciate you taking the time to post a review! -Julie

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. 

Business response:

Thanks! Come back soon!

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.

That's the face of a survivor! Glad you loved it! If you have a sec, would you mind connecting with us at http://tellusdirect.com/dhc to tell us how we could have earned that fifth star?
