    Anyone who loves fried chicken should try Clifford's! Their chicken is very crunchy on the outside and moist on the inside. What else do you need and good quality fried chicken? Pretty basic side dishes, but we come for the chicken! They also have a lot of fish and chips on their menu. I'll be trying that next time!

    Hands down the best chicken sandwich I've had. The chicken was juicy, flavorful, and incredibly crispy, and the portions were so generous- a much bigger sandwich than most fast food chains give you while still being a reasonable price. The fries, honey butter biscuit, fish sandwich, and dipping sauces were also delicious. Service was great too and the shop is a cute little spot in the corner of a small strip mall in my neighborhood. I'm embarrassed that I haven't been before since I live just down the street but I will absolutely be back!!

    The chicken was good, the seafood was alright. The breading for the shrimp and catfish combo was a cornmeal crust, so it was super thick to chew through. I had a few pieces of shrimp before I gave up and peeled away the crust. It was unbearable, sorry. Like super dry and crusty. The shrimp was a decent size and tasted fine. The catfish I was not a fan of (perhaps I am not a fan of this type of fish), it had a strong unpleasant smell of fishiness and was pretty oily/greasy. I didn't like the texture of the fish imo. The chicken drumstick was good. The fries were fine and plentiful. Crispy outside with a soft inside. The honey butter biscuit was to die for, so tender and flaky and buttery. It was delicious. With a bit of honey drizzled on, it was perfect.

    Came with a friend for dinner at about 5 on a sunday. The restauraunt was pretty empty with only us there. There's only 1 employee and she was nice. Standard customer service. Noone else was visible. There are a couple tables but not a lot. The inside of the store feels like a popeyes. I ordered the fried catfish and fried chicken breast. The chicken breast and catfish were both pretty good. Very fresh, and juicy. The fries were very crispy and fried perfectly. The biscuit was excellent as well. However, the price was very steep. $25 was a pretty large price to pay. I can see the prices increased significantly over time. Overall solid and well worth a visit.

    I remember when this location was occupied by a Guamanian restaurant. I was sad to see it go. I came here for the catfish even though they're known for their fried chicken. I got the chicken and catfish combo which comes with fries and a biscuit. The catfish was the star for me. It was seasoned just right and not overly breaded. The chicken was good too but not the best I've had. It's crispy and juicy and has good flavor, so it's not bad at all. I didn't care much for the fries, which were a bit on the soggy side. The biscuit was just ok for me - a little too dry and not very buttery. I'll definitely be back for more catfish!

    4/1/2025 Clifford's Chicken & Fish 699 Calderon Ave Mountain View, CA 94041 I went there for a quick solo dinner on an early Tuesday evening. It's at the end of a small plaza a block north of ECR. The parking lot was nearly full but turn over is fast. There is some interior seating; a table and chair setup for about 14 people. You order and pay at the counter from the menu board behind the counter. I ordered the two piece dark meat, which came with a biscuit and fries. My meal was brought to me shortly in a box with the biscuit in a bag. The chicken had a crunchy breading and was very moist. The fries were hot and crispy. The biscuit was fall apart moist. Every thing was tasty and a little salty. A very good neighborhood chicken place with reasonable prices. I went here when they first opened for the catfish, which had a "bottom of pond" taste and I wouldn't recommend. It's repeatable for the chicken.

    First time here. Located in a small strip in a neighborhood off El Camino. The employee said they've been open for about a year. Tasty fried chicken, fries, shrimp and biscuit! It took a bit for our food but that's okay. It was not greasy at all. Plenty of seating and had some good jams playing. Parking is shared with a liquor store, laundry, hair salon and acupuncture. If no parking, street parking is available. We enjoyed our lunch!

    Crispy fries, crispy catfish, bomb sauce what else can you ask for. Food is made to order so you might to wait 15 minutes but it is worth it. Call ahead if you don't want to wait.

    I recently came across this place on yelp and have been dying to check it out. So this past Saturday I decided to make a visit. This place is located in a tiny strip mall in Mountain View, when I walked in I was greeted promptly. I decided to order the 2 piece dark meat meal that comes with side fries and drink. I opted out of the fries and instead got collard greens and added on a coleslaw to my order. They don't have fountain drinks here but sell bottled beverages which is actually like better. I decided to scan the menu again and realized they had Red Beans and Rice, I am a sucker for this. So I asked if I could swap the Cole slaw for red beans and rice, to which the cashier was very nice to allow me to do so. The chicken here is made to order and came out quickly. 2 piece dark meat 5/5 : This comes with a leg and thigh, and came out pipping hot. The chicken has a nice flavor and was very crispy. Cooked to perfection. Collard Greens 5/5: The Collard Greens were excellent, it's so hard to find good Collard Greens. But they executed this perfectly, they were flavorful, and tender. (Note these collard greens aren't vegetarian as they contain smoked meat) Red Beans and Rice 4/5: The Red Beans and Rice was really good the rice was cooked perfectly and the Red Beans were Flavorful. I took a point off as the beans were a bit mushy but still good. Coleslaw 2/5: The Cashier was super Sweet and still gave me the Coleslaw; that I originally ordered even though I swapped it for red beans and rice. The Coleslaw to me was lacking in flavor and was a bit too dry for my liking. A bit more flavor and dressing would have taken this up a notch. I can tell the coleslaw is made in house which I like. Service 5/5: The Cashier who rang me up was super sweet, patient, and accommodating. The service was fast and efficient. Overall, This place is great, if you're in the area and looking for a good soul food spot look for further. The Food is Fresh, Flavorful, and made to order. The service is Very friendly and fast, I will definitely be back.

    Fried chicken combo
    Lucy Z.

    We went to Clifford's today to try their southern fried chicken through a coworker's recommendation. We ordered dark meat and chicken wings combo, they come with fries and biscuits. Chicken - great batter and seasoning, comes out fresh, it's delicious, I wish they have spicy option as well but they do offer hot sauce. Fries - golden and crispy! Biscuit - simply the best! Excellent with honey.

    This lived up to our expectations, it was delicious all around. I love the format where you order at the counter and then get your food. It's clean and there are tables to sit at inside, but they seem really optimized for takeout in my opinion. We ordered the shrimp & fish combination along with some chicken, everything was delicious. BEWARE, I eat a little spicy, but their orange sauce is spicy AF! :) I admit I was a bit unprepared and went big on my first bite, but it is legit spicy. The tartar sauce was delicious, I enjoyed every bite of that with my food. * French fries: yes, they were a tad soggy after I got home (we ate them almost an hour later, so it's more our fault), but they were absolutely delicious. These are my favorite type as they have the crusty outside. * Chicken: very tender with a tasty batter that's the perfect amount of thickness; the chicken tasted seasoned through, not just the outside batter * Shrimp: fried to perfection, perfectly coated on the outside * Fish: This was delicious, probably my favorite. There were two golden and tender fried pieces of fish * Biscuit: This looked soft and fluffy, but I unfortunately didn't have any room in my stomach left :) Give Clifford's a try, I feel like you won't regret it. There also seemed to be a lot of regulars there when I went.

    18% tip for a Togo order
    Diem H.

    Chicken is yummy. I ordered my to go. The staff automatically click 20% gratuity . I changed to 18% for a Togo and pick up myself order. The staff should have asked me before clicking the 20%. Even though I gave 18% for a Togo order. I'm unhappy.

Amici's has a nice explanation of this on their website. Which makes sense. There are no wingstops or anything like that in the Mountain View area. So after this amazing discovery, we were able to order awesome Amici's pizza and wings from the virtual restaurant. All the items are available on their website under Starters and Sides, with free delivery, pizza restaurant style. On superbowl sunday, we got a bunch of pizzas, and twenty piece of the Flame Roast Lemon Chicken Wings, and another twenty of the BBQ Chicken Wings. Both were good. They were wings and little drumsticks mixed together. One guy here can't eat spicy, so we opted for mild spiciness on both. But they did come with a nice spicy ranch sauce. Definitely bingeworthy wings. Friendly on time delivery.

It's just not my go-to when it comes to fried food and so I don't have it often. That being said, one of the beauties of Local Kitchens is that it's open late and so when I finished work late one weeknight, I decided to come here and try something I had never ordered. I ordered the fried chicken with the goddess and buffalo ranch sauces as well as the garlic Parmesan fries. Despite not enjoying fried chicken, I am foodie enough to know that it's all about the batter. They definitely have a good spiced coating for their chicken that made it delicious. The fries were made with fresh garlic (always a good sign) and were tasty. The dips were also good and rather unique especially the goddess dressing dip. Overall, a decent place if you enjoy fried chicken. Like I said, I'm don't really eat fried chicken so I'm probably not going to rush to this place anytime soon. However, if there's another late night and/or I'm craving fried chicken, then I will definitely keep this place in mind.

On a Sunday evening, using the Local Kitchen's App, I ordered the Flipped Chicken Entree. That's roast chicken (leg, thigh, and 1/2 breast), a salad, and a buttermilk biscuit. (Cost: $14). How was the chicken? That chicken was HOT, and the biscuit was soft. No complaints. I picked up my own order at the counter. Service was fast and professional.

And frankly, KFC has gone so far downhill in the past 5-10 yrs. Doesn't downtown MV already have Bon Chon (excellent, I go semi-regularly) and Clifford's Chicken & Fish (not *quite* downtown, but also excellent, I'm glad they're here!)? Sure, but those are slightly frou-frou places, you go, place your order, and wait a probably reasonable length of time while someone fries up your order, the wait longer (ofc!) when more people would like to eat. At Bon Chon, I've waited almost an hour for a single order! Contrast this with KKC, where the chicken's hot and ready in the case, you tell the cashier what you'd like, and 70 sec later, you're walking out the door with your order. Unless your order is large or complicated, which you can see mine was not. I actually scurried in *minutes* before closing, and took my chicken to eat at home. IT WAS STILL SUPER CRISPY -- er, KRISPY! Doesn't sound like much, but the old KFC was even nearer my home, and the chicken was always soggy by the time I was home. (Did it start out soggy?) And it didn't taste old/dry, despite being what was left in the case at the end of the night! The pieces *are* on the smaller side (I feel this is true everywhere -- chicken has shrunk and prices have increased), but it's good chicken. But the biscuits, OMG, THE BISCUITS!! One bite, and I was sure they had shortening -- super unhealthy, but you can't fake that texture, it's close to but not quite the same as lard, plus lard is savory and frankly more expensive than shortening, and let's call a spade a spade -- this is not a gourmet chicken shop. But the texture on these is really good. And the honey butter adds enough sweetness I personally don't feel a need to add more honey/butter/jam, though I enjoy biscuits sweet but not sticky-sweet. YMMV. Do I want to come back? Yes. What do I want next time? Probably more dark meat chicken and biscuits. What about their shrimp and blueberry biscuits? Maybe, but call me narrow-minded -- the shop was clean and I enjoyed my meal, but I feel this is a place that gives you a quick, delicious meal at a reasonable price. I'm not super sure this is a place I'd go for blueberries and seafood? That seems like asking a lot. But maybe I'm wrong -- I do see very positive reviews for blueberry biscuits, but silence on the shrimp, which might mean their shrimp is not selling that well, which maybe raises freshness concerns. Okay, so next time: dark meat chicken, plain AND blueberry biscuits! This is definitely worth trying. It's not expensive, you probably won't have to wait, so if you end up liking it, this will be a great place for you (just maybe not for your waistline and heart).
