Food is great. Service is great, had to order for different people and they package the order accordingly. It was a take out and drive thru service. Inside is nice like all other fast food place the dinning area is standard. Nice clean restroom.

As of December 2024 they have lowered their prices. This was one of our faves, but we stopped coming when a sandwich cost $17. It felt absurdly expensive, but we're happy to have it back! The skinny chick is probably our top item. Most people don't make a non breaded hot chicken sandwich. For the sandwich we like the 3rd hottest level. With the bun it evens out the spice. Tenders we opt for second spicy since there's not much to calm it. But if you like a little kick I would def do the 3rd level. Waffle fries are better than the crinkle. Potato salad was good but VERY pickle forward. Their sauces are really good as well! Coke Zero as their SF option which is a bonus since most people only do diet. Their workers are always really friendly. The food comes out quick. Their designated lot is small only a few spots, but behind the restaurant there's a lot more parking that they share with the others.

Absolutely love it. I got the three piece chicken strips and a slice of bread with pickles. The waffle fries are the best waffle fries I have eaten in my life! The spice level was hot as cluck - this is the perfect spice level for me. Their signature sauce is absolutely delicious.

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.
