Chicken Shops near Claremont, CA

“Great experience at Dave’s Hot Chicken. The food was solid, heat level was on point, and everything came out fresh. What really stood out though was the service. Leilani was really cool, super friendly, and made the whole visit feel easy and welcoming. Definitely a spot I’ll be coming back to.“

“This little small Korean wings spot surprise me. I got the Korean barbecue spicy wings with fries. And the wings came out super crispy and flavorful. The fries that look really mid surprise me as well with this spices which again was very flavorful. I was looking for a new wings location and this is by far the best I’ve been to in all of I.E. I highly recommend this place if you love Korean wings.“

“I was there eariler today. I had the best experience there ever. Both employees there were so nice and helpful! I didn't get her name, but the girl who helped me made sure my order was correct and prepared correctly. She even suggested the cheese sauce with our sandwiches and OMG mixed with the crimson sauce. The absolutely best combination I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend this place. I'll definitely be coming back!! Thank you guys for the great service!!“

“There is only 1 nice guy manning the front and kitchen. I tried calling ahead but the phone wasn’t working. I left and came back after 30 min for 1 order of popcorn chicken but it wasn’t ready. The owner is not doing his or her job cheaping out on service. They are lucky to have this guy working here.“

“Korean fried chicken is just the best! Non greasy and a light batter. The plain wings are perfect and the flavored ones are even more delicious. I recommend the Honey Garlic variety“

“Super friendly staff and a cozy atmosphere. The chicken was crispy and juicy. Salsas are definitely worth a try! Food was served straight to our table within 5-10 minutes after ordering. The staff was so helpful in picking out deals and coupons. I highly recommend this place. The prices are low, and just a great establishment overall.“

it on the throne the next day lol. My go to place for chicken.“

“friendly atmosphere, good customer service and very clean“

“I’ve driven past this spot a million times, but today I finally pulled the trigger during the lunch rush. I went with the spicy chicken bowl, and it was a total standout. I’m usually not a fan of black beans, but these were actually packed with flavor. My palate usually feels pretty dull by midday, but this meal made me a believer again. Definitely worth the stop!“

“Bbq always delivers in terms of flavor. The only reason I didn't get five stars is because at this location the cook that works in the the morning afternoon shift is far superior to whoever they have cooking in the back at night... 😂“

“雞肉鮮嫩多汁，迅速送餐，餐廳乾淨明亮舒適！可惜沾醬少了一點…“

“Service was extremely fast. My food was ready before I was done getting my drink. The atmosphere is definitely very fun and the food is good. I usually swap the cole slaw for more Texas toast, though. The price are also pretty good especially for the portion sizes.“

“I know this shop used to have a not so great reputation in the 90's early 2000's, but honestly this is my go to now for croissants, deep fried fish, and some other Chinese stuff on the side. They have variety as far as their food and I personally love their ham/cheese/jalapeño croissants and their maple bars. Fried fish and chicken is definitely solid compared to other chain restaurants. If you're a pomona local check them out and stop by for breakfast or lunch! ❤️“

“Absolutely phenomenal service! I wanted to shoutout Joe specifically for going for above and beyond.

I ordered a sandwich with extra cheese and it only had one slice. I went back and Joe was very friendly and apologetic about the situation, and offered a brownie for the inconvenience.

Without a doubt, I’ll be headed back to this location!“

“I started going to this Waba Grill pretty recently when passing through the area, and I gotta say, it's my favorite one to go to! By far the cleanest one, my food is served quickly with the correct portions, and all in all I could tell people work efficiently around here. The last few times I went, I was served by Jaime and Alex; I've had different vibes from different workers across different locations, but I feel I get the best vibes when coming here and when I've been served by these two! 5/5 would recommend pulling up if you're in the area.“

“I decided to try this place as it was closer than another popular hot chicken place and I think this place does some things better than that one. The chicken and sauce were more flavorful here and I especially liked the slider. The other place did have much crispier fries though. Overall, I’d say it’s a good alternative, especially if you’re looking for halal chicken.“

“We come here all the time and the customer service is always great. My boyfriend always calls in his order and he’s very specific with his food. They never fail to abide by his requests like grilling without sauce and making the meat well done. Special thanks to Melissa and Eduardo for having great energy and making the customer experience an enjoyable one.“

“Near the target and next to a boba shop, it's in a convenient location. Healthy food and great value. It's been years since I've been to this location and was pleasantly surprised how the quality of food had increased! Thank you ?“

“Had moved out of state two years ago and was genuinely missing El Pollo. Was in town a couple days and it was on the food Fav list to hit on my brief visit. Thankfully, I was NOT disappointed. Service was spot on and the food was fresh and FABULOUS!“

“I tried ordering online but couldnt complete my order. Not realizing what time it was, I walked in one minute before closing. Thankfully Angie was so gracious and let us place a pretty big order despite the team already wrapping up for the night. They were fast, the food was delicious and Angie was so friendly and helpful. Great experience for someone who knows what great customer service and taking care of the guest looks like. Thank you so much!“

“This KFC is top notch in flavor. I live near three other KFC’s. , but when I pass this one I have to stop and have a late lunch. Remember how the KFC bucket tasted as a kid, this is one of the few that taste the same. Plus their biscuits are always flaky and hot“

I just want to say that she was the friendliest, most considerate and helpful drive-through employee that I have ever come into contact with. My food was great, but regardless of how my food was I really just want to point out that that was the best drive-through experience I’ve had. Thank you, Natalia.“

“Me gustó muy buen servicio y el pollo muy buen sabor“

“Convenient location, friendly employees, good food. This location was busy, but still the employees should be checking on the dining room for cleaning. This seemed to be a corporate location because the prices were not as high as other El Pollo Loco franchise locations.“

“Been to the Montclair ca location several times and never had an issue. But for some reason on the date of Oct 14 2025 there were two employees. A cook and a cashier. The Cashier was not very knowledgeable, and couldn't really answer questions I had about certain food. So now to the issue..I was a little pressed for time. For my order to be prepared and finished took over 21 minutes! My wife actually had to get up and stand up to get the cashier's attention. Once she saw my wife, she told my wife the food was almost done. I almost decided to ask for a refund and leave without food.“

“healthy option. keto certified menus“

“Great spot for a quick, healthy, and tasty meal! The food is always fresh, portions are solid, and everything is cooked just right. I love how customizable the bowls are, and the flavors never disappoint. The staff is friendly and works hard, even when it gets busy. You can tell this place is run with care. Definitely one of my go-to spots—highly recommend checking it out!“
