We stopped by at 8pm. The person who took our order was super friendly and helpful. He asked if we've been and we shook our heads. He gave us an intensive overview of their menu and how it worked. He gave his 2 cents on all the sauces available. This guy is incredible! Too bad I forgot his name otherwise I would have included this review. I got the Hot sandwich and my husband got Reaper. Mine was too spicy for me. I was expecting it to be spicy like how every other hot chicken that I've had was just "black pepper spicy." I ... read more

Had to try this spot while I was visiting for the holidays! Not only is it super dope graphic art surrounding the building - which immediately draws your attention literally from a mile away - but the food!! I ordered the two sliders combo and it came with delicious fries cooked perfectly crispy and two HUGE sandwiches. Added a drink for only $17 and it made two full mess. Chicken was cooked to perfection and seasoning was delicious. Not to mention the delicious KALE slaw which was a perfect twist to a coleslaw on a crispy c... read more

this place is definitely better than your typical fast food joint. good, Cajun-y spiced chicken, kale slaw, pickles and sauce similar to Cane's. whole family liked it. The decor of the place is cool with graffiti style muralsc clean restaurant and nice employees. Learned about it from a highway billboard!

I don't say this lightly, this is by far the biggest and best chicken strip I've ever had in my life. Just stopped here randomly on my way back to Austin.

Great service! Food was hot and at the right temperature (heat wise) for what we ordered. Loved the sliders. Bread was so fresh as well.

I heard Dave's went downhill after they franchised, but if this is downhill, then I can't imagine what the original LA location must taste like. Because it was everything I was looking for in a hot chicken sandwich. Came here for a Saturday lunch and there was no line. It looked clean and plenty of tables to sit at. Food came out at a reasonable speed. I got the chicken sliders #3 combo with cheese. These weren't no sliders. Basically full on sandwich size and the portions will definitely fill you up. I got the Hot spicy l... read more

Great chicken, definitely gets spicy! My husband got the extra hot and I got the lite mild spice. Mine was a little too spicy for my taste, but I'm a wimp with spice. My husband loved his, definitely spicy. Their fries are nice crispy crinkle cut fries, not too much mushy potato. Their house sauce is alright, kind of sweet/tangy like Hat Creek Burger's. Our meals came with extra pickles and sauce, which I loved! Overall, great place. Definitely best Nashville hot chicken in Waco.

Cool fast food spot with good food. I got the two slider combo hot. Unless you're really hungry one is enough and it's more of a regular size sandwich than slider. I did try a side of the reaper sauce and it was definitely SPICY. The girl at the counter was very helpful giving me a run down of the options. Open late as well.

Parked my truck at the QT next door. Was gonna walk over to the IHOP but was too busy and didn't feel like waiting. So came here instead. The girls behind the counter were friendly with pleasant attitudes. Very small basic menu. The food was good. What I didn't like was the way too small cup size for the beverages. She said it was their largest. I mean, come on. What am I, 5 years old? Also it quite messy. You have to wash your hands and face when done eating.
