Do not recommend this place, the food took forever and the food was extremely cold. Not to mention that just for two people it was nearly $50 that’s just crazy. The mac and cheese was cold and it was overcooked. 1/10

The food was delicious but what I didn’t like was the fact that they said it was a 15 minute wait and really it was a 25-30 min wait. My boyfriend asked them can we atleast get a few more sauces for the wait and she acted like she didn’t want to do it. We still only ended up with ONE extra sauce.

First time visiting was a tad skeptical due to reviews. In my personal opinion I give it 5 stars .It had a clean atmosphere,wonderful service( the gentlemen who assisted was patient with us while we made up our minds, & the food was good.As far as the wait goes well yeah I waited a little but I did not mind 1 bit, by all means make me some fresh food lol.Price range wise you are looking at what mostly any other fast food joint around charges for combos $10-$ 15 meals.Kid-friendliness: They have mac n cheese.Crinkle fries, waffle fries, potato Salad,coleslaw, waffles & they have cute crowns that are offered to children (paper crowns)

Wanted to come here for some HOT chickin.What I noticed was lbs and lbs and lbs I’m talking 50 pieces pre cooked and just sitting in a basket above the oil. Real HOT chickin spots drop fresh. If you’re looking for fresh chickin this ain’t it. Looked like Popeyes with piles of chickin. Don’t get me wrong I like Popeyes at the right time but they make you wait like you getting fresh and it’s piled high back there.Wish I could get a pic but they look at me when I go over to get the shot. Lol

Food Takes way too long to prepare. We were sitting here for about an hour! What makes it worst it the terrible choice of music. Waiting here listening to the terrible audio. On top of that, a big lady walks out from the kitchen imagine the sweat dripping in our food. Then a gay guy gives us our food no wonder why my food tasted like rainbow belts.

This chicken spot is good. I've heard that people don't really like their fried or bread . I came for Chicken not bread or sauce. And I was not disappointed. This chickens flavor is really good and has a hint of sweetness like brown sugar ? I've never been inside so I don't know what that's like. The drive thru does take some time but nothing to get upset over. I've had Dave's hot chicken and although their spiciest is hotter than Clyde's, Clyde's hottest spice has better flavor (while still holding a nice kick) Dave's still tasted like chicken (gamey) while Clyde's was all flavor and seasoning. Service is alright but it's a fast food drive thru , what do you expect. Order , get your chicken and be on your marry way.

I used to go here a couple times a week when I lived in Upland, it’s my favorite fast food restaurant. Since moving further away I cant go very often but pretty much always stop here whenever I’m passing by. If you like chicken I’m pretty sure you’ll like this place. Oh and the sauce is insanely good also, consider asking for extra.

Stopped by for a quick snack went with an order of chicken bites and it definitely did not disappoint crunchy outside juicy inside staff was super nice. Will definitely be back to try a sandwich and I recommend the Clydes's original heat level hot and sweet.

I think this wait is way to long I’ve been waiting for 45 minutes for some chicken and once you order they make it which takes even longer this is ridiculous but overall the food taste pretty good after the wait son’s opinion. They should close down the drive through because it’s taking way to long. took me 45 minutes since I placed the order and get my food.

The Chicken & waffles are FIRE!That being said, don't order here unless you have 30 mins to wait. I have gone thru the drive-thru 4 times now and everytime it is 30 mins. I finally went in for sit down... bathrooms and facilities are very clean but still 30 mins for food. I asked the manager why so long and why did other recieve food before us that ordered after us? He stated that they were in front of us. When I checked him on that statement, he stated that we ordered "way more food" and had to wait for smaller orders. When I asked why 2 meals is "way more food" than groups with 4 and 5 people and they were making food out of order. He stated that they only have one waffle maker. When I stay at hilton I can make a waffle in 2 mins. When I am at home I can make 10 waffles for my family in 30 mins, with one waffle iron. Ultimately the manager was nice but a lot of excuses that make no sense in the context of the industry. So long story short, be ready to wait 30 mins for food.
