28 Best Chicken Restaurants near Claremont

“I’ve been to plenty of fast-casual spots, but my recent visit to Dave’s Hot Chicken stood out, and that was entirely because of Yeffrey and Isaac. Great food brings you in, but the people behind the counter decide whether you come back. These two made sure I will.
Yeffrey was on it from the moment I walked in. He was friendly and upbeat, and he took the time to make sure my order was right without making me feel rushed. You can tell he genuinely enjoys helping people, and it makes a difference.
Isaac was just as impressive. He kept things moving efficiently while still bringing real energy and warmth to the job. It’s obvious he cares about the customer experience, not just getting orders out the door.
What stood out most was how well they worked together. The whole place felt welcoming and well run, and that kind of atmosphere comes from employees who take pride in their work. The chicken was excellent too, but Yeffrey and Isaac made the visit memorable.
To whoever manages this location: you have two standout employees, and they deserve recognition. I’ll be back, and I hope they’re working when I am.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

“The place is nice and our server was really nice as well! The only reason why I give them 4 stars was because the menu wasn’t rly non spicy friendly, just since I can’t really handle spicy foods there weren’t really any options for me to eat.“

“Great food with the perfect balance of flavor not too salty and not overloaded with sauce. Everything was cooked to the perfect consistency. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making the whole experience even better. Overall, just a great place with excellent food!“

“All that everyone and everything was excellent“

“So excited to find this place. It’s been a favorite for a long, but didn’t know one was so much closer than the Downey and Long Beach locations. Haven’t had a bad meal yet, and my favorite is the Garlic Twister. And the service here is very friendly“

“UPDATE 9/8/26: I was contacted by the owner working to rectify the experience I posted. I have upgraded the rating from 3 to 4 just for the effort and quick response.

We love Dave's.

This one was a little disappointing.

Service: the people here were kind but there were mistakes in our order.
Also my vanilla shake was so thick, I needed a spoon. Not sure if this is operator error but I didn't enjoy it. I prefer the texture of a good milkshake.

Food: it tasted great as usual. But we got a wrong sandwich. They rectified it. My milkshake wasn't. It was like a blob of ice cream.

Venue: eating area was clean and comfortable. The restroom was not.“

“chicken wings off the hook“

“This spot is by far my most favorite chicken joint. I have been coming here for the past decade and the food never ceases to amaze me. Each time I am brought to nostalgia despite the amount of different locations I have been to. 10/10 would recommend to anyone who wants to find a new spot.“

“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“

“Great children foods .. it easy fast food and it very delicious 🤤 I will come back after gym“

“Love the owners, love the staff, love the food! Amazing place, everyone should stop by!“

“The best fried chicken I’ve ever had, but I’m not convinced when you order a whole chicken that you really get a whole chicken because my wife and I cannot eat a whole chicken from anywhere else but we can eat the whole chicken from BBQ chicken… puzzling. I don’t really understand it.“

“Ever since we've been living in Chino Hills, this place has consistently been a great spot for delicious chicken, pasta, and their incredible sides. This place has always been the perfect catering place when we are hosting birthday partie & baby showers. We can always count on them to serve tasty chicken and those delicious sides.“

“fast, friendly service for being do busy three employees always make time to see if you're ok or need refills.“

“Love their Christmas lights. And their peppermint shake.“

“The people here are very friendly. They're taco salad can serve three people it is so big so much chicken it's amazing you have to try the chicken tacos those are great and their chicken boil boil with pinto beans rice chicken cheese it's also amazing. The manager there is Andrew he's a sweet guy always has a smile on his face“

“Best chicken on earth. I drive hundreds of miles to pick up and take back to my hometown. I miss it so much!“

“There's a Pollo Loco closer to my work than Juan Pollo, but it's definitely worth the extra mile or two for Juan Pollo, for the following reasons (based on my comparison of a leg & thigh meal):

Freshness: Juan Pollo's chicken is hotter, more tender, juicy, and flavorful.

You get more: not only is the taste better, but the chicken is noticeably larger and instead of only 2 smaller (corn) tortillas at Pollo Loco, you get 3 larger tortillas at Juan Pollo.

For almost $2 less than Pollo Loco, Juan Pollo's meal doesn't include a drink.

Juan Pollo for the W!“

“I currently live in Maryland and I’m always craving this chicken! I can’t wait to come back to California in November so I can get some chicken! Best chicken I have ever had!!!“

“Knowing everything at Habibi's Hot Chicken is halal made it an easy choice to try. The chicken was tender, crispy, and seasoned perfectly, and every bite was full of flavor. The restaurant had a great vibe, and the staff was friendly and attentive. I can definitely see myself coming back again soon.“

“Well I love Juan Pollo. But a week ago my husband went to pick up some food for us he said the cashier at as rude and was rushing him he ask about the family special and she was already ringing it. I'm saying this because she made him feel like if she was racist I'm Mexican and his African American I I do understand my husband I usually go with him but we had company at our home. CUSTOMER SERVICE is very very important.“

“This was an amazing surprise
The chicken sandwich was sooooo delicious best I've ever had !
Soooo fresh the fries were literally the best fries ever! Definitely fresh and the best! Thank you servers you make me have faith in servers again doing what they offer fresh food, THANK YOU! I went Thursday July 30 at around 3:30pm
This shift staff impressed ❤
I see people complaining about the wait time but the fresh food is worth the wait! ❤🤤“

“The staff is second to none. Great people. Fast service. They even made a necklace out of cooked chicken drum sticks for my birth day. I dont know how they knew the date of mybirth. Plus a necklace made from tasty chicken drumsticks smells good and is handy AF. Sure folks stare but thats because they like tasty chickens. So if you are in the mood for finger lickin' go see john chicken.“

“Wonderful staff and great service would go there again“

“El mejor pollo rostisado que he probado, su sabor y textura es incomparable..“

“Orders the chicken breast and wing combo plate and chicken quesadilla that’s said comes with sour cream. I go to pick up my food and no sour cream is on the plate the employee said they don’t have sour cream. False advertising. My daughter was not happy.“

“Marisela was my cashier in drive thru she was very patient with me while I navigated the menu. When I got to the window I was greeted with a smile and exceptional customer service. Time stamp on my receipt was 11:12am I purchased the 16piece family meal. I never do reviews but this lady deserves some recognition“

“Krispy Crunchy "fried chicken" is located inside the "Anthem gas station." They serve hot, ready to eat chicken tenders at 7am. But if you're looking for their family bucket-o-chicken, they'll have you covered on/after 8:30am.

My favorite breakfast choice is 3pc chicken tender combo & Christy's donut with maple bar. Drizzle honey over tenders & maple bar, and you got yourself breakfast for champions ? ?.“
