    Clyde's Original Combo
    Diana M.

    We were hungry and in this area. We had both seen Clyde's before and their other locations but never tried them. We decided to stop by. They had plenty of parking up front and in the back. The staff was friendly and patient with our ignorance on their menu. They have plenty of seating area and a casual vibe. We went for the original combo and the wings with original spice. The burger was good with the spice of the chicken balancing out with the other ingredients. The fries were super crisp! They were better than chick-fil-a ones. My wings were super juicy and really crunchy wings. I had the lowest spice level other than mild and they for sure had a kick! The sauce helped toning the spice down but they were good. The food took about 15 mins to come out so it is not super fast it's more like a fast casual. I was surprised that I was unable to find nutritional facts anywhere so I'll guess it's good for the soul! Overall a relatively quick and calm meal.

    I must confess I still believe  1930 () 3-Tender Combo from #ClydesHotChickenPlacentia
    Mojo S.

    Another great location for this venerable franchise. As always, the tenders were screaming hot without being unbearable and super tender without the breading getting all soggy. The crust of the chicken was crunchy, seasoned, and delightful. The dining room was emptier compared to other locations I've been to. Maybe it was just a slow period or the area just doesn't see much foot traffic. But I still had a good sense that this would be a nice location to hang out with friends on another night. The staff was helpful as always, despite it being dead. They still managed to sound as if they cared rather than bored, which is a good sign. I don't know the next time I'll be in the area, but it's nice to know there's always Clyde's for a dining option.

    To be honest, I've tried many different hot chicken spots, and most have left me disappointed -- bland chicken, dry meat, and a feeling of total unsatisfaction. Clyde's Hot Chicken, on the other hand, never disappoints. They soar above the competition in flavor, portion size, friendly atmosphere, and amazing service. I drive all the way from Corona, CA -- a 35-minute trek down the dreaded 91 freeway -- just to enjoy their incredible food with my wife and kids. My family loves the OG Hot, while I go straight for the 1930, a perfect mix of heat, spice, and a touch of sweetness that hits just right. If you're looking for a hot chicken experience that delivers every single time, Clyde's Hot Chicken is the place.

    Clyde's Hot Chicken - Yorba Linda Dropped by Clyde's for a Father's Day weekend DoorDash pickup. The spot was completely empty, and the team at the counter was friendly and approachable, which I appreciated. The place looked clean, but a bunch of the soda taps were out of order, which felt kind of lazy--especially on a weekend like this. That kind of oversight always reflects back on the GM or whoever's running the show. Small detail, but it sets the tone. I grabbed the order, confirmed it in the app, and as I was pulling away, someone came rushing out to flag me down--turns out I was given the wrong order. I went back in, and it turned into a whole scene. Multiple staff digging through receipts, checking, swapping, removing items--it was a hot mess, no pun intended. They stayed polite, which I respect, but it was incredibly inconvenient. While I was there, another customer was asking for a couple small sauces, probably to go with her meal. After all that confusion, they still mentioned she had to pay extra for dips. Like come on--it's sauce, not liquid gold. I get it--business is business. But if you're trying to build repeat customers, you comp the damn sauce and let them know it's usually a charge. That woman ended up digging through her purse to cough up change over something that should've been a gesture of goodwill, especially after the sloppy service. The food might be good, but details like this matter. If you want people to come back, act like you care about their time as much as they care about yours.

    Tried Daves Hot Chicken as well, in comparison Clydes win with how clean the store is, how nice the employees were, especially John who was very patient/polite to my gf and me as it was our first time tryin, and overall taste. Definitely a spot I would be returning to(and so far the only place that still has Mr. Pibb soda)

    Quality is amazing, pricy but worth it. Definitely one of the best chicken sandwiches I've had. The Mac and cheese was not so good but the sandwich, sauce and fries are great.

    Met with John, owner today. Great person and business man. He knows how to treat his staff and customers alike. Every person that ordered to go or dined today had smiles on their faces. Definitely coming back for some more.

    $17 for 3 CHICKEN STRIPS (no fries or drink). It's PRICEY! But they are pretty big & best seasoning I've ever had. Give it a try!
    Lisa T.

    PRICE (3/5): The price caught me off guard! I thought this was Fast Food so I came here for a quick & cheap bite only to find out that 3 chicken strips (no drink or fries) cost $17! It is indeed expensive, but after I tried the food I think it's more justified. Just to put it into perspective, I was debating between Clyde's Chicken Strips (3 strips = $17) or Capital Noodles Bars (Filet Mignon Cubes = $17). FOOD (4/5): $17 for 3 CHICKEN STRIPS: only the strips! Yes, it's expensive. It's also the BEST seasonings on chicken strips I've had anywhere in this area. They are also the BIGGEST sized chicken strips I've ever seen. Each strip is about half the size of a chicken breast. They are also the FRESHEST chicken strips I've had. I really enjoyed these and I had HIGH expectations after the $17 price point. I'd come back if I'm craving deliciously fresh & tasty chicken strips and willing to pay this price. It's not an unreasonable price for a meal, but for a fast food chicken strips yes it is pricey. Pick your poison. But definitely try it at least once before you write it off because of the price because it might change your mind! DRIVE THRU (3/5): Usually when a place has a drive thru I assume it's Fast Food. This place is in between Fast Food and a casual dining spot. They make everything FRESH to order so it may take about 10 minutes or so. Worth it to me for fresh food! Kind of a weird drive thru entrance. SERVICE (5/5): It was my first time here, I went thru the drive-thru at a non-busy hour. The worker was so patient with me and answered all my questions since I was unfamiliar with the menu.

    Came here because of Yelp, and this place did not disappoint!…read more If you're looking for some good old-fashioned wings, this is the spot. We loved every flavor we tried, and they even had plain wings for our young son, which was a huge plus. What really made the experience stand out was our server. I didn't catch his name, but he was working around 6:30 PM tonight. He was hustling the entire time, incredibly polite, and provided excellent service. We'll definitely be back!

Born out of his love for tiny finger foods to bring to get-togethers, Christian has been perfecting his recipes until he opened JD's Wingz in 2021, and you can seriously taste the love he pours into everything here, from the food to the customer service. The Big B's hot honey flavor came highly recommended, and I can totally see why. Their Bombz are their version of "boneless wings". It's kind of like a chicken meatball? but in my opinion, much better than dinky "chicken nuggets" XD You cannot miss out on their world famous garlic pull apart bread--this is sooo soft and garlicky. Bruv, I'm even blown away by the coleslaw they make in-house. Their deals, enthusiasm, and their special menu item "My GF isn't hungry" definitely make this great little wings spot my happy place. Thanks for reading! ^-^

At random hours, there can be tons of movement outside the restaurant. The food here?? Oh my gosh. I absolutely love that combination plate. I always order the combination meat with grilled chicken vermicelli noodles. I think this time I went was probably the best I've received! My boyfriend and I decided to try their fried rice because we constantly order the same thing here and in all honesty? It was delicious! They added a generous amount of beef to the dish. I honestly thought it was great. Their lemonade straight up tastes like lemons were truly used (we have a lemon tree and it reminds me of my dad's lemonade.) Highly recommend the food here. The environment here is so cozy. I absolutely love coming here at night because the interior is lit up by some string lights wrapping around the restaurant. Great family friendly spot and an excellent date spot. The service? It felt awkward coming in. The 3 people at the counter just stood there staring at us I'm like so do I just go pick a seat or something haha.

She was attentive, warm, and genuinely great with my daughter. The one hiccup came when my daughter wanted to swap a meat option for steamed veggies in her pho. Daisy let us know the kitchen doesn't accommodate menu customizations, so we got creative and ordered everything on the side. It worked out, though it ended up costing about the same as a kids' pho for what amounted to a simple substitution. Outside of that, the experience was excellent, the restaurant was clean, the service was top-notch, and the menu had a solid variety to choose from. The lack of flexibility with customization is the only reason I'm not giving five stars, but I'd still recommend Mama Hong's without hesitation.

This location is primarily a takeout spot since it's very small inside. I've picked up food from this location twice since they opened and have no complaints at all.
