    My favorite hot chicken in OC! I started with the location in Fullerton in 2019 and have tried many new locations over the years but this location is my very favorite! I have NEVER gotten a weird piece of chicken and have always had quick friendly service. The tenders were my go to until they released the nuggets...SO good! 10/10 recommend!

    The nice man who took our order. He was the only one at the register.

    Went to Clyde's after an event and it was busy. The man at the register was great and calm. He was busy but was so polite. This was my first time at the restaurant and I was from out of town. The chicken sandwich was well cooked and seasoned. We sat upstairs on the rooftop. Full bar up there. The place was very clean. But I think the guys name was Chance? He deserves a raise! He handled himself and everything very well.

    I've come here several times...I'm always surprised it isn't busier. Definitely needs better marketing.This Clyde's Hot Chicken is an interesting concept: 3 entities under 1 umbrella. 1. Clyde's Hot Chicken - indoor casual eatery with hot chicken sandwiches, Mac & Cheese, fries, sodas, southern slaw, milkshakes, & slushies 2. Bar 1930 - outdoor bar with 5 seats (where we brought our puppy), but also an area to stand where you can put your drinks and bar bites on a ledge; menu includes calamari, onion rings, cauliflower bites, etc. 3. The Rooftop - outdoor slightly more upscale restaurant. The chef has just changed so the menu is TBD. Today we sat at Bar 1930 (which is our fave of the 3). Unfortunately the bartender was on break so we had to wait 15-20 min to order. Obviously they are understaffed. When Malynn did return, she was very friendly & made great cocktails. We had: The Drop - basic lemon drop Cherry Sun - cherry vodka, simple syrup, lemon juice Skinny chick sandwich - juicy grilled chicken but the slaw was lackluster (heat level was hot as cluck) Chicken sandwich - nice crunch, but not as good as the hot chicken sandwiches we had in Nashville (heat level was hot as cluck) This restaurant is somewhere I will definitely go again since there aren't many great places in my neighborhood and because of the proximity to the Regal movie theater. Food 3 Cocktails 4 Ambience 4 Customer service would be a 4, but since they're understaffed 3 FYI- ample parking in the parking structure that is just steps away from Clyde's

    Im so happy they opened this location; we used to go to the Fullerton one but we moved. Food- ALWAYS fresh, hot, delicious Service- GREAT! One time our online order took a lot longer than expected so they were very accommodating as we waited plus made sure everything was ok! Employees are very friendly Ambiance - AWESOME! This location has a rooftop hangout plus bar inside. Very clean & tidy! My hubby & I also LOVE the huge big screen inside where they play sports or movies!

    In visiting, we were almost worried this brand new place was going to close down there wasn't anybody in there eating except an employee. Check out the pictures. It's like I'm there for the grand opening before anybody gets in. That said before we left, there's a few more people coming in so I'm hoping maybe we just caught it at a very slow point. The bar looked cool however, it didn't open till five. They were willing to get something off a draft but unless you want beer only, there's not a lot of options there. I was a bit of a bummer we were really excited about maybe sitting up top, but turns out that's also just for private events. So a couple of the reasons we wanted to try this place during the day don't make it a great venue to visit other than maybe a regular lunch . OK. Always love a good waffle fries and never gonna not enjoy. That was the venue. But other food choices around I'll probably end up somewhere else next time.

    Food was pretty good. We ordered the 4 piece combo with an extra side of waffle fries. Chicken was seasoned but I wish the coating had some crunch to it. Waffle fries were perfectly crispy and probably my favorite part of the meal. Ambiance is cool inside on the main level. Huge screen for watching games. Rooftop view was nice for YL, but the staff working up there was not. Customer service for the team on the main level was good! Friendly and quick. Our experience with the rooftop was BAD. While waiting for our food, we went up to check out the rooftop since it was our first time visiting and there was a game on. Within 30 seconds of being on the rooftop, a staff person approached us and asked if we were going to order a drink and if not, we needed to leave. The tone was rude and the caveat thrown in immediately was uninviting. He didn't greet us, offer a menu, or make any recommendations but essentially tried to boot us. Why would anyone want to spend their money after that?

    Clyde's is hot as cluck! Clyde's is exactly what YL has been waiting for! The hot chicken is the perfect melody of flavor, spices, heat and tender chicken. I'm a fan of their bun sandwiches and love how they also have a breakfast option with an egg on buttered toast, as well as wraps. They also offer standalone wings, tenders and nuggets. I love how you can customize your spice level for any type of chicken! Personally, the original is plenty spicy for me, but I might dare to try a higher spice level in the future. The sides are equally awesome. My entire family (three generations!) loved the potato salad, coleslaw, mac n cheese, waffle fries and crinkle fries. As a fry connoisseur, I love having both options available, as it's sometimes fun to mix and match! To cool down our visit, we topped off our meals with their refreshing milkshakes and also couldn't pass up the chance to indulge in their waffles. The waffle was perfectly crispy on the edges and pillowy soft in the middle. It was honestly on par with a specialty breakfast place, which is amazing for a place that primarily specializes in hot chicken. Is there anything Clyde's can't do well?! Besides serving great food, this place has nothing but good vibes. The restaurant has a casual, yet upscale feel to it with comfortable seating and an open air bar. I believe they are the first location in this region to serve alcohol, which is amazing! I also noticed they have a rooftop similar to other nearby businesses, so I can't wait to see what's to come up there! Welcome to the land of gracious living, Clyde's - this place is fire!!!

    Service was great!! Food was delicious!! We both got the combo meal one hot fried chicken and one regular. The waffle fries were by the far the best we have ever had! It was done to perfection' definitely would come back!

    In Short, this place is fantastic and I don't why anyone would rate it less than 5 stars. With a few more details, I have been there a few times now and it's always been a fantastic experience. The downstairs is nice and has a bar and the patio upstairs is fantastic especially that both levels have massive screens to watch sporting events AND alcoholic beverages. Very clean place. Close to the movie theater and Yorba Linda town center so you can grub here then watch a movie right next door. Service has been great. Staff is very friendly. Reasonably priced for a nice atmosphere. The food has been delicious on every occasion. Chicken strips very juicy and chunky unlike some other chicken places. Original is not that spicy but has a fantastic flavor so if you want more heat make sure to order something hotter than the original. Also, the fries are fantastic. Try them cooked well done. Crunchy outside yummy inside. Definitely recommended spot right off imperial highway and YL towncenter.

    Great service from Cash who's from the Placentia location, and from a lovely gal named Evelyn (if I remembered correctly). She killed her first day! This was our first time here, and ordered grilled nuggets, and a sandwich. We saw the millionaire option after we ordered and decided to give it a try since usually hot chicken isn't that hot. We signed the waiver and it did not disappoint. Honestly, it was so good and is over 2 million scoville which we can definitely tell this morning. Not only did their chicken taste good, but even the Hot as Cluck and 1930 was spicy on the best way. Cash went above and beyond for us and he is a fantastic employee to this company. Give that man a raise! The restaurant was very nice and have a bar, and a rooftop bar. We will definitely be coming back to try the bar!

    Decided to come here for my mom's birthday after hearing so many good reviews about this place and…read moreI was pleasantly surprised! The service was very quick and friendly! We chose to sit in the outdoor rooftop and the ambience was lovely, very cozy. We got the lump crab and avocado stack for an appetizer and it was so delicious! Crispy and well seasoned chips with fresh ingredients in the stack. My parents got the artisan pizza and the arugula salad with salmon and said it was delicious, especially raving about the dressing for the salad and the wonderful amount of meat on the pizza I got the wood fired mushroom pizza and it was soooo good. The crème fraiche wasn't overwhelming and the flavors were just spectacular. Definitely recommend for a nice and cozy dinner in the Yorba Linda area!

    We came here after the Whitney Houston Candlelight concert at the Nixon Library, and what a find!…read moreApparently we weren't the only ones with the same idea -- some other people from the concert were at Terra too and recognized us: "Hey, weren't you just at the Candlelight concert?" My sister originally chose Terra because she saw a picture of one of their salads with salmon and knew immediately that was what she wanted. We had no idea we were about to discover a new favorite restaurant. 10/10 -- I've already bookmarked Terra because I will absolutely be back. When we arrived, we told our server we had never been there before and asked what she recommended. Her descriptions of the food were fantastic, and she steered us toward the wood-grilled peaches with burrata and arugula. Oh. My. Goodness. Absolutely delicious! The grilled peaches, creamy burrata and arugula were such a wonderful combination. Then the salad came out, with salmon added. I took my first bite and was literally speechless. It was an explosion of flavor -- the avocado, salmon, sesame dressing and everything else going on in that salad just worked. The salmon costs extra, but it was absolutely worth it. The peach dish and the salad were completely different flavor experiences, and honestly I would happily order both of them again. We were talking about how we were gonna come back and try to resist ordering the same thing over again, but that will be a challenge. Of course, we were at a wood-fired pizza restaurant, so we HAD to try the pizza. We ordered half-and-half. One side was the fingerling potato pizza, especially after our server told us the story about the owner's daughter wanting fingerling potatoes on her pizza and how that helped inspire the restaurant. Obviously, after hearing that story, we had to try the pizza that started it all! And it did not disappoint. I can definitely see myself ordering that again. The other half was the salami pizza with the honey drizzle. It was supposed to have some heat -- my sister could taste it, although I couldn't -- and the honey made it a really interesting combination. Not something I would normally think to order, but definitely worth trying. I also ordered the citrus agave, thinking it was basically a fancy name for lemonade. It wasn't! Lemon, orange and lime made it much more interesting, with just a slight bitterness from the citrus that balanced the sweetness. Delicious and different. We sat upstairs, where there was a wonderful breeze coming through on a summer evening. The whole atmosphere was charming and relaxed, the service was excellent, and the food was memorable. The biggest surprise? Terra is right near my office, and I never knew it was there. Definitely a 10/10. I came because of a recommendation, and now I'm recommending it to everyone else. I will absolutely be back.

The risotto was the best thing on the plate as it was packed with flavor. That shouldn't have been the star on the plate. I tasted the meatloaf and it was so much better.. The meatloaf was awesome and the sides were great all together.. I was so jealous, as I am a huge steak person and was more impressed with the meatloaf.. The server was awesome and very attentive.

    Story! I decided to…read morego with Story for my wife's and I 1 year anniversary of marriage. My wife is a book worm and seeing how this restaurant is a nice blend of romantic but also fun with the books around the restaurant, the chairs and table to even the glassware my wife even complimented how much she loved the water glasses. We had a reservation at 730 on a Sunday, originally had one at 6pm, but we had to drive to Dana Point to pick up our anniversary cake, it was a smooth reservation change. Also during my reservation, I did call to make sure if they were okay with storing our cake and serving it out to us at the end of dinner, which they happily said yes to. The theme currently is the Great Gatsby, I can see this a fun day or night out for a group of friends. Staff was very friendly! Here is what we ordered: Saw they offered a Japanese Whiskey flight, had to order that! Even if I have tried them before, you can never say no to whiskey. Small little taste of Nikka Coffey Grain, Nikka Coffey Malt, Suntory Tokiese and best for last Hibiki Harmony Chicken Pesto Oven Fried Pizza $20 - Pistachio Pesto, chopped grilled chicken breast, mozzarella cheese, heirloom cherry tomatoes arugula and balsamic glaze | I usually don't care for pesto, but if its pistachio or macadamia I do like that way better. Let me begin with, I had trouble thinking where do I put this, is it a pizza or is it a flat bread? It didn't rise to have its iconic crust on a pizza, so I have been labeling this as a flat bread and because of that I can easily say the best flat bread pizza I have had to date. The dough was baked perfectly, had a nice crunch but also pillowhheee chew. The ingredients on the flat bread, all were fresh, seasoned but most importantly delicious and blended well. At first bite you are able to taste each ingredient as you continue chewing the balsamic comes into play and brings each flavor together. Seriously as mentioned the best I have had so far, I really want one right now just talking about it! Yuzu Lobster Pasta $38 - Butter Poached lobster, cherry tomatoes, yuzu, black garlic butter, jalapeno, basil topped with bread crumbs and parmesan cheese | I told my wife this was most talked about in a lot of reviews, so she went with this. There was a good amount of Lobster pieces, but sadly the yuzu or any kind of citrus was not there. At this time while we were eating our main dishes, sadly we didn't see our server pretty much the whole time. It would have been nice to be able to ask her for either more yuzu or even lemon on the side. Any kind of pasta dish with seafood needs to have that citrus punch. Coming in at the most expensive dish we ordered, it was sadly placed last amongst the three dishes. Braised Short Rib $34 - Red Wine Braised Short Rib, topped with crispy fried onion strings, demi-glace, pomme puree and seasonal vegetables. This was really good, short rib cooked and seasons perfectly, those crispy fried onions, complimented the meat and its flavors perfectly, and also gave it a nice crunch texture. As mentioned before the ingredients all were fresh, I ended up cleaning my plate! As mentioned about during our mains we didn't see our server during that time, she finally showed up when we were all finished, so she ended up coming back with our wedding cake and a candle. She did apologize that she was having a deep and lengthy conversation with another table. We ended up asking if she was allowed to take a piece of our cake which we were glad to share it with her, and she loved it as she does like tiramisu. In conclusion, I will def be back to get that flat bread pizza and try different foods on their menu. The pricing is pretty fair! I do want to try to get to a brunch time here as well as I do see a lot of Filipino inspired brunch items. Very good food, atmosphere, perfect for a date night! Feast Well Fellow Yelpers!

The service was nice and friendly. * Short Rib Benny 5/5 - This was very tasty. The poached eggs were cooked to perfection. The short rib was good. I got the hollandaise sauce on the side since it can be hit and miss at other places. It was really tasty here. The breakfast potatoes were not bad. * Coconut Ube Pancake - My friends got these and they were okay. Kinda dry. Not sure if the waffle version would have tasted better. * Strawberry Thai Basil Mimosa 3/5 - This was the sweetest mimosa under Specialty Mimosas and it tasted pretty average and wasn't very sweet either.

The service was damn near as perfect as it gets, our waiter was awesome! The food was great, priced for the environment. Miso garlic noodles: They were good and the flavor was there. It's a healthy portion, be sure to save room for your main course! House spinach dip: The dip was PERFECT by itself! The bread was a fair addition, but I found myself not needing it. Rosemary's Chicken and Biscuits: A lot of great flavors on one plate. The vegetables were not my first choice, but they complimented the meal all around. The mashed potatoes went so well with that chicken. Steak special with Asparagus: The waiter described this steak plate as their nightly special. For the $60 it came with the steak, asparagus, and yellow mashed potatoes. Shame on me for not remembering the steak cut, but it was EXCELLENT. A true and real treat for meat eaters. After seeing the double Oklahoma smash burger at another table, I knew a revisit must be planned. So many great options on their menu! The chicken pot pie, pan roasted salmon, flat iron steak - and they have breakfast too. So much to try and only one life I have to live.

    We were a party of eight and came in for a family dinner, including relatives who had flown in and…read morewere spending their last evening with us. We ordered appetizers, meals, drinks, and dessert, so we were looking forward to a nice experience. Unfortunately, the food was disappointing. Everything looked good when it arrived, but the flavor just wasn't there. I ordered the honey chicken brie sandwich, and there was very little, if any, brie flavor. The bread was okay, but the sandwich had minimal greens and tomatoes and felt more like something you would get at a fast-food drive-through than a meal at a restaurant. The ice cream sundae was also terrible. Honestly, it was exactly what you would get from McDonald's. No fresh fruit, several peanuts and drizzle chocolate syrup with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. For a restaurant serving a full meal, we expected much better quality and flavor. To make matters worse, while eating the fries, we discovered a huge, long hair embedded in the stack. We called the restaurant, and they immediately replaced them without any issue, which we appreciated. And our waitress was attentive. However, the service overall was very slow. It took quite a while to get our drinks and then our food. After we finished dessert, we sat for approximately 15 minutes talking with our family. At that point, a man approached our table. I initially thought he was coming to apologize or check on us regarding the hair, but instead, he told us they had a large party coming and wanted us to leave. That was extremely disappointing. We had already spent a considerable amount of time and money there, and we were not lingering excessively. A simple check-in about our experience or even an apology for the hair would have gone a long way. Instead, we felt rushed out the door. The food was underwhelming, the service was slow, and the way we were asked to leave left a terrible impression. Unfortunately, this is not a restaurant I would recommend based on our experience.

    I recently came to Oceans & Earth for one of my birthday dinners and had a really nice experience…read more We were lucky enough to get a table without a reservation, but I did notice a sign outside stating that dinner is by reservation only, so I'd definitely recommend making one ahead of time rather than taking your chances like we did. For dinner, we ordered steak along with the mac & cheese and sauté mushrooms for our sides. Everything was good, and neither of the sides disappointed. The mac & cheese was rich and comforting, while the mushrooms paired really well with the steak. I didn't order an alcoholic beverage this time, but I have to admit that some of the cocktails I saw coming from the bar looked pretty good! Maybe next time. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with both traditional table seating and additional seating around the bar. Parking is also very convenient since Oceans & Earth is located in a larger shopping center with plenty of spaces available. Overall, a good birthday dinner and a nice local option here in Yorba Linda. Good food, comfortable atmosphere, easy parking, and a menu that gives me a reason to come back and try a few more things. Just remember to make that dinner reservation!

Nobody greets you at the door, and the staff is often too busy socializing among themselves to pay attention to arriving guests, leaving you standing around completely confused about where to go. The service inside doesn't fare any better. Our server was outright rude and defensive. When he brought out the wrong order, he actually argued with us and accused us of ordering the incorrect dish. I had to explicitly remind him of our earlier conversation where we specifically stated we didn't like sour cream--making it obvious we wouldn't order something loaded with it. Only after backing him into a corner with that memory did he casually shrug, say "oh yeah you're right sorry," and fix it. They did end up comping the mistake, but a free item doesn't completely erase an abrasive attitude. That said, the kitchen deserves massive credit where it's due. The steak and the mashed potatoes were an absolute 10 out of 10--cooked to perfection, incredibly flavorful, and easily the highlight of the meal. If you're willing to deal with the lackluster hospitality and indifferent service, the food quality makes it worth a visit, though takeout might save you the headache of dealing with the staff.

These wings are a must-order! They arrived at our table piping hot, with a shatteringly crispy skin that was just unbelievable. The garlic flavor was savory and powerful without being overwhelming, and the meat inside was so juicy. But what truly makes this place special are the owners. They are the sweetest, most welcoming people! They checked on us just the right amount, were so patient with our questions, and their genuine warmth made the meal feel that much more enjoyable.

You order at a kiosk, take a number, and go sit at a table (indoors or out) where your food will be delivered. We initially attempted to order at the counter but were ignored so we did the kiosk routine. I went with a prosciutto panini and a hot vanilla latte. The latte was average but good. The same could be said of the panini which, aside from the prosciutto, included arugula, garlic aioli, tomato, and mozzarella (it usually comes with roasted bell pepper but I asked to leave that ingredient off). The sandwich came with a pedestrian house salad; some greens with four grape tomatoes and a balsamic dressing. There is a huge free parking structure across the street which makes coming here easy. I thought lunch was okay but I wouldn't make it a priority to return.
