41 Best Chicken Restaurants near Montclair

“Super friendly! The man taking our order was super nice and patient with kids!“

“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.“

“The hot loaded fries are the best. This place was not too busy and we got our food in a reasonable time. The bathroom needed some attention but no big deal. The staff were friendly and they seemed attentive to cleaning the tables and taking orders.“

“Amazing local spot.. a must. everything is freshly made.“

“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.“

“The food is bomb. The Mac n chicken is super good and so are the sandwiches. I wish they had a Louisiana hot chicken option as it would be better, but it's still pretty good. They've got really good Mac, but could use sharper cheese for more of a kick. Also, the drinks aren't all that bad.

P.S. We compete in the JDM game so come to me for cars, maintenance, and service, but go to them for food because I only cook for my kids lol.“

“The lemon pepper chicken, so crispy and tasty. The ranch and comeback sauce enhanced the already great taste. Cajun fries were excellent 👌 😋 the 4 piece was too much for my Son in Love and I. We took Two drumsticks fries and a small piece of the boneless thigh home. My wife and daughter will be happy!“

“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.“

“After I had Jollibee in Alhambra, it became my first choice for fried chicken. I won't have other fried chicken if Jollibee is nearby. I was on a short vacation to Las Vegas and needed something to eat on the way. I checked the map and found a Jollibee in Rancho Cucamonga, not far from the I-210. Just before transitioning to I-15, there are not many restaurants along the way to Las Vegas, so this was the last chance for a good meal.

I followed Google Maps and it guided me to Seafood City. There are two big Filipino supermarket chains in Southern California: one is Seafood City and the other is Island Pacific Supermarket and Seafood. Seafood City always has a Grill City attached, while Island Pacific has PhilHouse. Both are Filipino fast food restaurants. I had PhilHouse twice at the Rancho Cucamonga location--very authentic and with good taste. Unfortunately, that location was closed, but fortunately Island Pacific has more than 30 locations, all attached with PhilHouse.

Jollibee is inside Seafood City, which makes sense since Jollibee is also a Filipino fast food chain. This time we had a Bucket Treat A, which includes a 6pc Chickenjoy Bucket, and I selected Spaghetti and Mashed Potato for the two sides.

The Chickenjoy Bucket had 3 pairs of legs and thighs, as good as always--crispy shell, tender and juicy chicken. By the way, remember to get the spicy one instead of plain. I had both, and the plain one was just flat and normal, but the spicy version had much more flavor. I mentioned in the review of the Jollibee headquarters location that the mashed potato was not made from powder but from real potatoes, so you can taste the potato chunks--very good texture.

The Jolly Spaghetti was very cute. It contained several tiny sausage pieces, and both the sausage and the spaghetti were sweet, but a bit too sweet. As a Shanghainese, I really have a sweet tooth, but still couldn't stand that sweetness. By the way, I didn't find any ground beef--maybe this side doesn't include ground beef in its ingredients?

Anyway, it was still a very good meal. Then I got back on the road and headed to Las Vegas.“

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

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

“Want chicken? Check. Want Eggs? Check. Put them together and you get this gem of a place with the best of both. I ordered the Egg and Bird sandwich and their Chicken Strips combo. The chicken sandwich was juicy as heck and that runny egg made this delicious experience even better. The chicken strips were also surprisingly tasty and juicy and my tastebuds were definitely satisfied with both of my orders. The shop is pretty small with some seating inside but it seems like it’s mostly a grab and go but it’s a cool little spot to eat at. The service was pretty good and that’s surprising when you think about shops like this. So if you’re craving something like this it’s definitely worth it so check it out.“

“Not a fan of the no human interaction when ordering. Chicken tenders were a little flatter than I expected but were yummy. Ordered hot and felt more like medium. Was paying for
it on the throne the next day lol. My go to place for chicken.“

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

“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!“

“First timer here always heard good reviews from friends so i had to come out and try! I had the pleaser of meeting the owner Alley whom is a delight and gave us excellent service and detailed ingredients on the flavors of wings.
I ordered honey garlic wings, spicy gobi wings and a bulgogi bowel.Always love coming to to support family owned businesses thank you :)
The chicken is perfect never had chicken like this before 10/10
Also please note that all orders take up to 15 mins as they make it fresh and never pre fried!!!“

“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“

“Alma, Angel, and Rachelle gave excellent customer service. There was an error in the app or software which rejected our order, only 5 minutes before pickup. Even though this was not their fault, they ensured that I was able to get some spicy chicken before they ran out. I had to remake the order and stand in line, which was alright by me. But I'm so grateful they went that extra mile because they were almost sold out at that point in the evening. Thank you!“

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

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

“The place is small, but there is a nice seating area outside. Service is excellent, even when there are only two employees, and we didn't have to wait long for the food. We usually order the family special #1 with two whole chickens and two large sides. The chicken is tenderly cooked and moist, without dripping oil. My family's favorites are the pasta and rice, but everything else is also good, such as the bread and salsa. We like the food here, and you should give it a try too!“

“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.“

“nice food! nice atmosphere! good service! clean and neat environment! fresh food!“

“Food is great, that’s a given…. Rotisserie are amazingly good.

They give option for better experience.
Indoor and outdoor seating.
Nice view of the “old town Upland”“

“The food is really good, chicken, rice, beans, potato salad, and their salsa were all perfect.The staff are very friendly and the service is quick. I will definitely come back here over the other popular chain of similar food.The rice is different it's not red rice, it's arroz con polo, chicken rice but it's very flavorful, like all of their food.“

“The service was awesome! Thank you Carlos for the good customer service.“

“Wonderful staff and great service would go there again“

“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 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!!!“

“Not the prettiest of spots but still delivers good food. Fried chicken is good and consistent. Make sure to get the jalapeno bombers but make sure they are fresh.
Biscuits are crumbly in a good way and the apple pie is better than most others.

Solid spot and cheaper than Popeyes“

“Great service and food. Very clean environment. Good deal!!“

“I was so excited this place opened up. The only challenge I see is entrance to drive-thru. Sometimes you think you're going to In-N-Out next door. But as far as the food, as far as the location, as far as the people, they're great, polite, courteous and overall good customer service“

“Did this chicken just have duke Dennis and kai cenat fanum tax me while getting rizzed up by baby gronk and eating pancakes shaped like bosley cause Wednesday adams cant make my skibidi gyat 18 feet grimace ohio, i don't know but Ohio fried chicken is rizzley

Parking: My fanum grew 18 inches“

“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 ? ?.“

“The food was a little dry for my Taste but the Customer Service was a 10/10 the biggest downfall was how HOT it was inside, it felt Hotter inside than it was outside. Reap Muggy. I guess to keep the homeless out, which didn't work. I asked the Homeless man to leave myself. Falling asleep drooling inside the restaurant. Just an FYI 30 min after leaving, I ended up getting the Runs from their food. :(“

“In my opinion KFC experience changes according to the location, well this location is one of the good ones, restaurant is very clean, the food doesn't taste like old oil and the personal is friendly, the new ordwring screen makes it a little unpersonal but they work, the only thing is that if you have a question you have to make an effort to bring someones attention because everybody is super focussed on the kitchen.“

“The the chicken sandwich’s“

“Me gustó la comida y como me atendieron yo diría que volvería aregresar“

“it’s bomb i love their mac & cheese & mash potatoes & gravy“
