    Small Small Top Loaded Fries

    Dave's is awesome!! Great place to have a quick lunch or order catering for a large staff. Their sandwiches with the Medium to Hot spices are always a hit! Staff are always super friendly and will usually load your to go bags with a bunch of their signature sauce packets. Their Dave's sauce is definitely one of the better ones out of all of the hot chicken establishments.

    Dave's hot chicken is pretty decent. This is the second location I have been to-and the chicken and flavor is pretty consistent between the two chains I have visited. I came here for a class group dinner, and I ordered the 2 slider combo- one medium and one mild. The sliders come with a huge tender that is extremely juicy and well flavored. There are a few slices of thick juicy pickles on each slider that help to cut against the oil and heaviness of the meal. Honestly, the spice level could have been kicked up a notch, but maybe that was my fault for being afraid to go higher than a medium. The crinkle fries that pair with each meal are perfectly crisped and dip well in the signature Dave's sauce. I really like how you can also ask for extra Dave's sauce at the front and they give you this big packet of the delicious condiment. This location had a very clean interior and the service was friendly and nice.

    Well having tried hot chicken in Nashville, I was looking for a hot chicken fix and Dave's came up on the Yelp radar. It is located in a relatively new strip with plenty of parking. We were greeted cheerfully by January. It is a walk up counter. The menu is small but it is great that they focus on their primary item Hot Chicken. So there are strip baskets, slider strip sandwiches and fries topped with Dave's hot chicken and their signature sauce. I went with the strip combo which consisted of two enormous hot chicken strips that brought the heat. There are different heat scales and the hot was the 3rd hottest you can get. The tender is rub centric and is not saucy. It does come with 2 slices of bread and pickles. I added cheese to the crinkle cut fries. Everything was delicious! My only complaint keeping Dave's from 5 stars is you are prompted to tip at the transaction. Sorry cashiers and kitchen staff are paid by the hour and not at a waitstaff wage so they are doing their job and no tip is needed lol. Overall would I come here again? By all means Yes, the food is pretty darn good. And the atmosphere is great and clean.

    The food was amazing, service was beautiful, place was very clean. I loved the music and all of the love in the air as the beautiful chicken made contact with my mouth buds! Delicious!

    Why 3 stars? Because the fries were good, but the chicken was just fine. --- --- --- I headed down to League City to hang out with some family for an afternoon and asked my brother to choose a place where I should pick up food from. He mentioned Dave's, but I was skeptical given the 3.2 star rating. I sent him a couple of local alternative places I'd wanted to try, but let the decision ultimately in his hands. He said Dave's, final answer. So it was on. I ordered a chicken tender basket with the most mild spice. The result? To be really honest, it was not a very memorable meal. I would say that I easily prefer the chicken from Cane's to Dave's. I really thought the fries were well done, but the chicken was a disappointment. They even have a similar sauce to Cane's, but I think Cane's is better there too. My brother insisted the chicken sandwich is the better way to go, so I was offered a bite of that. Was it better? Yes. Was it good enough for me to feel the need to go back to Dave's? No. I did enjoy my slushie drink, though!

    More Foodah!

    Once again, if you haven't tried this joint yet well you're missing out. Service is always so friendly, they always ask if this is your first time here and the walls at graffitied to the max. A small business who went mainstream with their generous portions and tasty grub. Get the works, add the honey and you got yourself a cheesy and sticky smile. Refillable sodas which you'll need because it can get spicy. But don't worry, there's weanie options. Tried the loaded fries today, glad I got the small. The large at 15.99 would suffice as a meal for two. Bathrooms were clean, which you will need to use because this is not a knife and fork place, they have them but trust me you'll want to lick those fingers.

    The wait was long to order, and they don't really have many options. The food is okay, but I don't think it's worth the hype. The ambience of the place is nice, I just wish the food was a bit better.

    Exceeded my expectations! The fries were super crunchy and the chicken juicy. I also got the oreo milkshake which was delicious. I'd definitely recommend this as a go to chicken spot!

The cookie was baked to soft perfection. I went with a friend who thankfully knew to join the waitlist about an hour before we planned to arrive, which made the wait very manageable. Had we not known that important little tip, we probably would've been waiting close to an hour. Overall, it was such a pleasant experience, and I'd definitely go back again.

    Let me preface this review by stating that I have been to this establishment multiple times & had…read moreglowing, amazing service each time. However, my last experience with this establishment left a horrible taste in my mouth. Therefore, I am giving them an extra star for the previous experiences. On May 17th, 2026, my best friend and I had been looking forward to coming to Water Oak all day and had our taste buds set for the occasion. We were famished and had quite a day up until arriving. Upon entering the restaurant, we were very briefly greeted by the a Hispanic man who I assume is the manager and told that they were "no longer seating for the day". I glanced around and saw that every table inside WAS seated, however there were many tables outside that were empty. I asked about the patio stating that us where we preferred to sit anyway, and was met with that they were also not seating the patio at all for the rest of the day. However, there was a group of 3 women seated outside on the patio at that exact time. I didn't say anything, simply turned and left. After having "one of those days" hashing out something so minute with a person who clearly didn't want us in their place of business was not something I was about to do. Keep in mind, we came on a Sunday afternoon. Prime brunch time. We arrived at the restaurant around 2:30PM, and their website says they don't close until 4PM. I am a biracial black woman and my friend is white. I noticed a significant amount of White and Latino patrons, but a shocking lack of Black people. With Houston having one of the most diverse populations in the US, it is almost impossible not to see at least one individual of each ethnicity in a place at any given time. I am definitely not one that likes to pull the race card, because oftentimes that is not the issue. However, as someone who is familiar with the service industry I understand Sundays can be extremely overwhelming. And I am cognizant that not everything is that serious. But, I am also aware that a lot of people in the industry discriminate against people of color, with stigmas that we don't leave enough gratuity or we "don't fit the vibe of their establishment". And those 3 women seated on the patio? All White. After reading recent reviews, it seems that management is discriminating against people of color, more specifically Black folks. This is an extremely disheartening and sickening realization to make, seeing as I have given well over $1,000 worth of my money here but also enjoyed many meals without issue. To management: It breaks my heart to have to write this review and to be honest, I wouldn't have written it if I hadn't seen others posting about similar experiences in addition to also feeling discriminated against. I highly suggest that if you are "not seating" after a specific time, you announce this via social media or alert potential patrons with a sign or something of the sort. & obviously, there is such an issue with treatment towards POC that it is a noteworthy problem via your Google & Yelp reviews. You will have a much bigger fish to fry on your hands if you continue to let this issue go on unrectified. I would be willing to return if I felt things were to be changed for the better in the future! Hopefully this review sparks a much needed conversation and brings attention to an area which needs work.
