    Reviews With Photos - Clyde's Hot Chicken

    Clyde's Original (upside down so it doesn't get soggy)
    Ai M.

    Even the pickles that came with the strips were spicy from contact with hot as cluck, so I appreciated the buttery bread underneath. I like that they have sweet tea. I prefer the crinkle fries over waffle cut, even though they have the same seasoning. My favorite item was the chicken and waffles. Original sandwich doesn't need additional (sweet) sauce, the original spice level is just a touch of heat.

    3 Strips Combo
    Khanh N.

    Ordered the 3 chicken strips combo. I love that there is a drive thru. It was hot and fresh. It was slightly soggy. I would assume because its in a box and it was very steamy hot. The strips are huge. So I think a 2pc would have been just fine. I got mild. It had a kick to it with a lil hint of sweetness to it.I rate it 3/5 I ordered lemonade. It was only water or lemonade available at the time I ordered. It was watered down lemonade. This is 1/5.

    3 Strips

    Everytime I'm in the neighborhood I have to get Clyde's. The fries are simply the best. Crispy, salty, flavorful. The sandwich (original spice) was good but could have used more sauce. The strips are absolutely amazing too. The original is not too hot but enough to make your nose run. Food is made to order so there's a little wait but it's worth it.

    The food was just okay and total was around $30 so not cheap. Had a bad experience with rude cashiers when I asked if I can get any sauce, she says it's already on the sandwich and if I wanted it on the side it's extra $1. Then got annoyed I was trying to pay for one sauce. Extremely pricy for a small container of ranch. Strange at least one isn't included. They also ran out of ketchup. Ruined the experience won't be back.

    Have now eaten at 3 different Clyde's locations and can say it's always a good experience! It can be a little pricey but in my opinion you get what you pay for. I have NEVER had a bad or weird piece of chicken and that's huge for me! Quick and friendly service, we will be back!

    What type of sauce is this? lol
    Jordan B.

    I can honestly say I wont be coming back to this location. The kids working it are beyond rude and impatient. Don't come here too often but did when it 1st opened... now I know this place ain't worth it.. Grumpy staff and food takes ages to get! Kayla hope you and your coworker have a better day! - also just because you have one glove on doesn't mean you can touch food with your bare hand after taking my payment. Disgusting. 9/16/25.

    Hot as Cluck chicken bites
    Angela D.

    Every time I go to this location in specific, the quality is always there. Not once have I felt the food wasn't good. The workers are always extremely friendly and attentive too. I have yet to see the store dirty despite high traffic hours at times. Honestly, this is my favorite location to go to :)

    Hot chicken
    Eric M.

    The food here wasn't bad but it wasn't anything special sadly. chicken to bread ratio was good but seasoning of the chicken didn't tickle my fancy. The chicken had some weird chewy parts too. The Mac is greasy, flavorless, and mealy. A hard pass, especially as a $2 upgrade Overall if it was $12-13 bucks I'd rate it differently but at almost $20 bucks oof

    I've been to Clyde's Hot Chicken in Fullerton a couple of times now, but this is my first time actually leaving a review. What can I say? It's a chill spot with a laid-back vibe, and the staff is always friendly and welcoming. This time around, I got the Chicken Strips and the Clyde's Original--both were great! Crispy, flavorful, and definitely hit the spot. Whether you're just passing through or craving some solid hot chicken, this is a good place to stop by for some grub. I'll definitely be back!

    The how you move, the way you burst the clouds It makes me want to try  6 Piece 1930 () Wings from #ClydesHotChicken
    Mojo S.

    For my first time at Clyde's it was a pretty good outing. I loved the wings as they had pretty good heat to the 1931 and a good seasoning blend to it. I thought six was a good amount but I could've pushed it to the 12 amount. It's a small location, but the service was good and the staff seemed to be competent about making suggestions when the customers were indecisive. I just dug the vibe of a small chicken shack that gave you options as to your meals. I really want to try some of the other products like the strips and bites because if the wings are any indication, this place knows it's chicken.

    Chicken & Waffles
    Jill F.

    I had such a great experience here! The customer service was excellent-- Maliya was super friendly and took the time to offer great recommendations. She was very personable and made sure my order was correct. I tried the chicken and waffles, and it was absolutely delicious--crispy, flavorful, and perfectly spicy to balance the sweetness of the waffles. The restaurant is well kept and I was impressed with how clean the bathroom is for a "fast food" restaurant. Definitely coming back soon!

There is a small lot out front for parking, and I suspect you can park on the street when the lot fills up. We happened to come by during the Korea vs. Mexico game, and understandably, the place gets packed, with a line forming outside. We somehow beat the rush by about 30 minutes and were seated at a table as soon as we entered. We also realized then that they didn't have the all-you-can-eat option, so we ended up ordering the chicken wings, their version of loaded fries, and steamed rice. We also placed the order via the QR code. We had our drinks delivered to our table shortly afterward. The food, however, was taking a long time to get to our table. It may have been a combination of the FIFA World Cup and a staff shortage, but when we were there, there was only 1 kitchen staff member and 1 wait staff member. The lady on the wait staff did everything from serving food to accepting new customers and topping off water for all the tables. A wall separates the restaurant; there is a front room and an inside room, and both rooms had televisions broadcasting the game. The food itself was decent for the price that they charge. The chicken wings came out piping hot, crispy on the outside, and juicy inside. They have some options for different wing flavors. The fries were also delicious and well-fried. I hope the restaurant invests in more wait staff because there were times we needed something from the wait staff. Seeing how busy she was, or sometimes she's just in the front room, we haven't seen her in a while to get whatever we needed. Overall, it was a good experience. The food was good, and the atmosphere is very unique; it's definitely a nice place to get some Korean street food when you're in the area. The only things to note are that parking is limited, food will take a while to cook as it is made fresh, and there will be some waiting to be done if you need wait staff. Last thing to note: I love that they had some Korean Fusion dishes, and I wish I had a bigger stomach to try these as well during our visit, perhaps another time!

Both are consistently fantastic! The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect family-friendly spot. The faith-based worship music playing in the background adds such a nice, uplifting touch. The only downside is they're closed on Sundays (and Mondays, I believe), which is tough because that's when we seem to crave pizza the most! We've made it a tradition to go on Saturdays instead.

Extended hours are on Fridays and Saturdays. This pop up food truck offers a variety of chicken sandwiches, French Fries, wraps, nachos, tenders and more! Most of their combo meals cost between $18.00-$20.00 each. My husband and I both ordered a chicken sandwich combo. My Chicken sandwich only had pickles on it, but he had everything added to his sandwich! There were a few customers ahead of us, so we ended up waiting about 15 minutes for the order. After we got our meal, we decided to eat it in our car fresh instead of bringing it back to the hotel. The chicken sandwich was so delicious! It was super crunchy. I think it was deep fried with the corn flake crust. It was one of the more unique chicken sandwiches I've ever had. The chicken cutlet was relatively thin, but still scrumptious! I haven't had anything like this before! The French Fries were good. They needed a little bit more salt for me. The Cajun corn was slightly spicy. The cooks in the food truck prepare the orders from scratch. While we were waiting for the order, we saw a lot of the chicken cutlets being prepared and deep fried. I really enjoyed eating at Chick-N-Out. It's one of my new favorite places to eat at near Disneyland!
