We've driven past Dave's Hot Chicken dozens of times while traveling north on I-35 through Waco and last time we made a planned stop on a little casino road trip. The exterior is eye-catching with some unique artwork and murals. It definitely stands out in a city like Waco. I wasn't there to enjoy the artwork, however. I was on a mission to try the Reaper tender. My wife and I chose to eat inside. It's not a very large restaurant so it was crowded and rather loud. At least it was somewhat clean in the dining area. We orde... read more

One of the best Hot Chicken places around! This is refreshing to have such a master blend of spices to bring some life back to your tastebuds. Service was excellent, the line to the door was handled promptly. The style and atmosphere was really cool and the cool designs done were sick!

My Muslim friends rave about how Dave's is halal, and I think this is so great as it is rare for a fast food chain to be halal in the US. I read another review that said the logo is "incredibly ugly," and I am offended on Dave's behalf. I think the logo is so funny and cute. My friend from Waco brought me here, and I kept commenting that I loved the logo. I got the #4 combo, which includes one slider with fries for a total of $11. Their special Dave's sauce was really good. I thoroughly enjoyed the slider with chicken and ... read more

First time, went with a "hot" heat level sauce on a sandwich, fries and a Coke Zero. Damn those fries were good. Sandwich was good too, but I messed up and only asked no pickles and I didn't realize they put coleslaw on them too, even after scraping coleslaw off it was still pretty damn good. Most places around central Texas when they say Hot they mean Taco Bell hot not actual hot, this hot has some kick to it thankfully. I will come back again!

Heard about the story of Dave's on the Podcast " How I Built This" and we happened to be driving down in TX. It was fun to see and know the background. The chicken is REALLY TASTY!

Stopped in at 9:15pm. Always receive hot fresh food no matter when I go or if I pick up or order online. The flavor and heat is really on point and very good..

The service was great. We went for our first time and when we were reviewing the menu, the employee taking our order recommended different options and was so friendly. The food was good. My friends love it. My husband and I thought it was pretty good. We may or may not return but it was a good first experience.

We've been dying to try this place and finally got the chance today. The guy taking orders was super friendly and making jokes. The food came out hot and fresh and everything was great. Their sauce was good but a little mayo-y for me. I'm a canes sauce fan. Lol. The main issue i had was the price. We had two meals with small drinks and tipped 5% since they always ask for it and it was nearly $50! For that price I would rather go to a sit down restaurant.
