“ The chicken is moist and the flavors are hot! Waffle fries are crispy, slaw is good too. The original chicken with pickles is perfect! ”
“ Food was really good I really enjoyed their chicken strips and coleslaw. Portions size was good and the chicken was juicy and tender. ”
“ Great place for great food! It takes a minute but duh! It ain't fast food lol. I love the food and the people. Super nice and friendly every time I walk in. Would recommend 100/100 ”
“ the workers are kind, food is fast and great, while sometimes busy, the energy in the place is great and I highly recommend stopping by ”
“ I typically don't write a review on fast food restaurants however when it comes to spicy chicken this is by far one of the best quality hot chicken spots in So Cal. Howlin Rays & Clyde's is my go too spots. Me & my girl first starting coming here during Covid & let me tell you their portion sizes have gone significantly up. Service is awesome here too, I highly recommend! ”
“ I like this location more off the bat. It has ample space and better access situation than the Fullerton location has. It's not Fullerton's fault though; they had to make do with the space they had. The food is great still. I even got a chance to try the tenders here. They were pretty damn good. I still Dave's has the best in the hot chicken market, but Clyde's were very close. Sure, they were smaller than Dave's, but they made up for it by including an extra one for me. That's a badass move from the staff, which they say is the standard because they know the strips come in a bit on the small side. For what it's worth, I think this is the Clyde's I'll be frequenting because of the spacing and atmosphere, but also just because of the distance and same quality menu. ”
“ One of my favorite places to get chicken strips. They have four levels of heat for your comfort. I tried the Hot As Cluck level and it had a kick to it. I like that it's a dry rub instead of sauce drenched chicken strips. Shout out the the amazing staff for a wonderful experience. I appreciate my food being done when it is ordered. You can really taste the quality. ”
