My Husband and I traveled the nation to where ever the food took us and that included Nashville where we experienced the "OG" hot chicken spot... Unfortunately the OG place we tried was legit horrid (tasted like straight cayenne powder with absolutely no flavor), so not gonna lie we were hesitant to give hot chicken a try again. Cluck n Blaze Caught our eye with their crazy sandwiches and burritos so we finally pulled the trigger and we are SO GLAD that we did! Like WOOOOWWW!!! Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE flavors, crunch, juiciness, spice, EVERYTHING! They seriously saved hot chicken for us and have been OUR FAVORITE that we've tried, as we've tried a couple more spots since, but cluck n blaze continues to out perform all others! We ordered the Plan B and the Breakfast Burrito "Jerry Style" and damn that comeback sauce is so freaken addicting! We've been multiple times and every time that cook on that chicken "slaps" as the kids say these days! We've also had their loaded tacos and mac n cheese with chicken as well!! Our fav was the Plan B and Jerry Style Burrito for sure, but also LOVED the large chicken inside the tacos! We can't recommend Cluck & blaze enough! We will tell you that they have taken a concept from Nashville and MASSIVELY out performed the OG place! They are a MUST if you like flavorful, juicy, crispy chicken with a kick! Random note: We were in town and had won their Thanksgiving giveaway for the Nashville turkey... YYYYEEESSSSS!!! Can't believe HOW WELL the flavors seeped into the juicy crispy turkey! It took Thanksgiving to the next level! If you can be sure to order a Turkey from them to impress your guest at your Next Thanksgiving gathering!!! read more

Not too bad, honestly! We came here for brunch on the drive back to San Diego. Parking: street parking is fairly easy, but I can see this area getting busy during rush hour. We ordered a chicken sandwich that came with fries/tater tots, and also a breakfast burrito. I enjoyed everything we ate - the spicy level wasn't too spicy, so I would up it next time I come here. Breakfast burrito was a bit overwhelming for me due to all the textures happening, so I might not lean towards this next time. read more

If you're looking for some delicious fried chicken in the Long Beach area, try Cluck & Blaze! I've been multiple times, and the hot fried chicken is usually pretty solid. The chicken is juicy, and there's good flavor. You can customize the spicy level of your chicken. I've tried the Main Chick (chicken sandwich), Plan B (Chicken sandwich with cheese, tots, egg), Nashville hot breakfast burrito, the Cluckin fries, and the Cluckin Mac. I like the sandwiches the best, but they're all pretty tasty. I feel like the mac n cheese and coleslaw could use a bit more flavor though. The staff is very friendly! Street parking, and depending on when you come, it can be a little crowded. read more

FOR TAKEOUT USING YELP APP I have not eaten here in person, but I just ordered 2 breakfast burritos using the food delivery option on Yelp. First off, there were so many fees that the order was almost $9 more. Before tipping, the total came out to $21 per burrito with all of the fees. Secondly, the person who dropped off my food was supposed to call/text to when they arrived. Instead the delivery person left the food at the bottom of my complex's stairs after texting me that she had left it in front of my door... I am in an upstairs unit in the middle of the complex, so clearly that was off. As far as the food goes, we were impressed that it was still mildly warm temperature-wise, but I wish it came with more sauce to put on it so I highly recommend buying additional sauce. read more

Cluck & Blaze - Cluckin' Fries were so awesome!! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

Use to always go to another chicken spot. Since I found this place, this is my go to chicken spot. I have a lot of different items that I like to order but overall everything always is delicious. The Mac is the best though imo. Always easy to get in and out of here. Fast service and always clean. read more

I ordered the side chick sandwich with fries. Chicken light mild. Either I was hungry or everything tasted good. The Mac is a must try! I'm a home cooked kind of Mac and cheese girl but this one was the best Mac I had that you can order. It took about 10 minutes before we were actually asked how are night was. You order straight from a kiosk so there's not much personal interaction. Seating area is chill and I'd go back again. At least for the Mac. read more

Was next door drinking tea and decided to give this place a try. 3 stars because the wait was excruciating. Wanted a quick bite to eat and there was nothing quick about it. I'd never return solely based on the wait time. Tried the chicken strips w potato tots and coleslaw. Thought it was kind of pricey for the amount of food we got and also the strips were incunproportional. Everything taste ok nothing exceptional that would warrant the wait or the return. Medium was pretty spicy and spicy was over the top. Five + stars for the service. Everyone who worked there was awesome. The girl even offered a taste test just to make sure I can handle medium spice which was quite spicy. read more

If you are lookin for true heat, stop here. The heat is real, and call mom was no joke. I was sweating, heading to the bathroom for more paper towels (since they have none out.. odd) as I was going to eat as much of this as I could. The tots were good nothing special, and the sauce was like canes, mayo esq. They do give free milk, which is hilarious... 5 stars if they had a drink station, napkin station, and non-baby-sized water cups. The sandwich is the real deal, and your first time? ask to sample the heat! read more

Heard a lot of things about this place and finally got a chance to try it out! Hot Chicken has been a craving on my list recently so I was excited to find another potential go-to. I got The Tender Combo with a side of Fries and Spice Level "Better". I love how they asked us if pickles were okay to be added (and they added so many!). I was given one extra tender (probably by accident) but two jumbo tenders is more than enough to have me full. The fries were crunchy but soft on the inside! One thing I'd say about the hot chicken here compared this other place is how it feels like the spice powder was just sprinkled on top of the chicken skin instead of having the spices fried along with the chicken. I'll give that point to Jaybird's Chicken. It was still pretty good and a solid place for me to go to when I'm in Long Beach. Thanks to Natalia(?) for helping us out with our order! read more

I've had Cluck & Blaze delivered a few times at work - the other day, was my first time dining in. For me, it's better fresh. Not that the my other experiences were bad - I'm sure most would agree, fresh is better. So, parking is easy. Street parking. If you know the area, you know what I mean. Just watch the signs. I don't know what kind of time restrictions there are. Free. Always nice when it's free. Walk in. Place your order. To go or dine in. Indoor or outdoor. A few tables outside. Wait for your name to be called and then enjoy. So ... Service - counter service - friendly. Hard to say more as there isn't or wasn't table service when I ate there. I grabbed my order from the counter, went back to my table and took pics, of course. As for the food - five stars kinda hard not to figure out my thoughts. I ordered the Call Mom - or the heat level one below the hottest. I had the hottest twice. If you know me - it wasn't hot for me. Neither was this sandwich but it was so tender, juicy and delicious. I'm sure I looked like a pig as the juices were running all over my hands and I barely put the thing down between bites. I inhaled the tater tots too. Done to my liking. Crispy - not under or overcooked. One thing I really enjoyed about this sandwich is that it's not like other places I've been to where it seems like they're just trying to burn someone out. Just simple, tasty food. read more

Writing this as I eat right now. Had a quick question about my order and the cashier snapped back at me. At least apologize and have some professionalism. I would have happily paid for anything additional if the cashier wasn't so rude, or even just acknowledge that she snapped. Thought about going to the manager, but I'm trying to enjoy my day off. ***Most importantly, I was parked outside waiting for my food. Right when I was notified, came in to pick it up. Food tasted "LUKEWARM AT BEST". Probably will go to Dave's Hot Chicken next time, or at least not come here on Sundays. read more

Came here at 3 PM on a Sunday for 2. There was no wait. It was a very chill and relaxed ambiance since it wasn't crowded. We got the side chick and the main chick combo! The fries and tots were delicious. I would recommend the side chick if you're not too hungry but otherwise just get the main chick combo so you get the whole fillet! Can't wait to try more of their food next time. read more

This place is ok. I think it's a bit pricier for what you get. I ordered the Mac and cheese and a chicken sandwich. The Mac and cheese itself did not have flavor until you pair it with the spice level you ordered. Sauces and drinks are sold separately, so just an FYI. The chicken sandwich is a bit crunchy, so that's a new compared to other chicken sandwich spots. Other than that, the space looks inviting and straightforward. The lady at the front was quick to answer any questions I had so thanks for that! read more

Change in ownership? This place used to be my go-to for hot sandwiches but the quality has gone downhill. It no longer tastes as good as I remember it being. The fries are soggy and stale. It probably has to do with the fact they are now crinkle cut fries. Also, I used to have points saved up but I think they changed their online ordering system so my old account no longer exists. I usually order online and pick up in store since it's the fastest and easiest option. It does require less interaction with the workers but wow, did the cashier still radiate a rude energy. I didn't get her name but she seemed so unbothered with a nasty attitude. Her acrylic nails were nicer than her face. I went up to the counter to pick up my food and she didn't even greet me or help me in the slightest. There was simply no verbal communication from her but from her presence, you can tell she doesn't want to be there. I wouldn't recommend this place to people anymore. read more

Great chicken sandos for a great price. It's cool you can see most of the kitchen from the dining room! I got The Side Chick Combo which comes with 2x Side Chick sandwiches and a side. The Side Chick sandwich has a Chicken Tender + Comeback Sauce + Slaw + Pickles. The chicken tender is a decent size, but not as large as the Breast Fillet in The Main Chick sandwich. The mild was quite mild, but the medium had much more flavor and spiciness. I wish the mild had more seasoning on it! For this combo, you can choose any side from the following: Fries, Coleslaw, Tater Tots, or Mac + Cheese. I chose the fries which came with a light layer of seasoning which I liked, some other joints put waaaaaaaaaaay too much seasoning on their fries. Definitely a great chicken sandwich at a great price. I'd place Cluck & Blaze in my Top 10 chicken sando shops, but they didn't make the cute for my Top 5! read more

I ordered the chicken nugget combo (medium) 12/15/2025 at approx. 8:30pm. The meal was not fresh. It took only 5 minutes to prepare. That should have been a red flag. The chicken tasted old and hard. Overnight I had serious and painful stomach issues. It was the only meal I had after 10am that day. It is disheartening to pay so much for a meal and it not be fresh and the business know that when they bag it and present it to you. This is my last stop at K&B Lakewood, Ca read more

Cluck & Blaze - Chicken The Tender Combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

Not sure why all the good reviews. I ordered the chicken strip combo with NO PICKLES. Repeatedly said it as I am very sensitive to pickling spice. When the order came up, I saw the young man take it back and then put it back in the window. My gut told me he screwed up and removed the pickles vs. remaking it. When I got it home, the strips were covered in pickle seeds and juice. The tenders were not crispy at all. Very little flavor. I ordered a side of Mac and cheese. So for two strips, fries and ma, was over $20. I know prices have gone up but in the least they could make orders right and improve quality. Will NOT be back. read more

4 years since my last review and this place still pushes out quality and consistency. The facility remains squeaky clean and their sandwiches are amazing. Today I tried their Mac and cheese along with the main chick sandwich (medium heat). This was my first time having the Mac and it's pretty dang good. I was also shocked how quickly they got my food out. Under 5 minutes. Keep up the good work guys! read more

4.5 star ratings made me try this restaurant out but little did I know the reviews here are generated by this restaurant giving customers 5 dollars off next visit for giving a review. I haven't been this disappointed in food quality in a while! I ordered the main sandwich with fries which was the worse Nashville chicken I have had and the fries where below average and not worth charging extra for. I asked for everything on the side and they gave me a tiny salsa cup for the coleslaw. I asked the girl for more and she told me sorry that's the amount we give. You got to be kidding me I paid 18 dollars and can't get enough coleslaw to cover most of the chicken breast?! So I advise anyone coming here don't ask for everything on the side. Also the breading on the breast was hard and didn't stick to the breast I had to take it off due to the hardness of it. I will never return! Quality, quantity issues and not cheap prices is the combination that doesn't work for a business that wants to remain in business! read more

You might be caught inbetween the decision of coming here or the other [undisclosed] chicken shop but come here! Cluck & Blaze has a stronger brand identity, there are a lot of cute elements in the packaging and food display that lean into the goofiness of hot chicken. The toothpick even has a level of detail and attention. Additionally, when it comes to a fried chicken shop, I like to see a menu that utilizes multiple parts of the chicken for different tastes. It's what differentiates it from a spot that typically sells chicken and sides, it's how they prepare the chicken. It's a very insular type of menu that makes sense. They're using whole parts of the chicken, and I encourage you to take the order bones and all. There has been a rising popularity in hot chicken, and we're seeing commercial branches be made, but to me, this place did it first and they did it the best. The seasoning rub is also just the amount of burn-your-butt hot that allows you to complete and enjoy the meal. Be mindful that it is fried in peanut oil so it is not allergen friendly. read more

Cluck & Blaze - Tenders combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

Service here was very nice. The young lady who took our order was very kind and helpful so customer service is definitely 5/5. We ordered two chicken tender combos ($13 each) with an extra tender a-piece($5 each), a banana pudding($6), and a lemonade($3). They comped our lemonade and gave us a free tender unprompted. One major plus is that the tenders are large! A huge issue I had was that an extra tender cost $5 alone, they are large but that just felt overpriced when there are no 3 piece options. The pricing just felt very high especially when considering the combo did not include a drink. This is an insulting new trend. If you Google the traditional definition of a combo in a restaurant setting it is a meal that includes food items and a beverage! I would honestly rather pay $15 for the combo knowing my drink was included. Food: Chicken Tenders- 4/5 Very good sized tenders! Well cooked and juicy. My husband feels the medium spice just wasn't very spicy. Texas Toast- 5/5 FANTASTIC. Perfectly buttered and fried. Great taste with a satisfying crunch! Fries- 0/5 Egregiously terrible. They were severely over-fried and oily. It almost felt like they were old fries they dunked back in the oil to reheat. Like several were rock hard to bite. Mac & Cheese- 2/5 Someone else here called it tasteless and I have to say it was accurate. I really wanted to like it cause I like cold Mac but it was very bland. Recipe really needs work. Sauce- 2/5 The chicken sauce really just missed the mark. It was far too mayo heavy to be a true "comeback" or chicken sauce leaving it bland overall as well. Banana Pudding- 2/5 This is just boxed banana pudding mix with three chunks of banana and vanilla wafers. Very poorly executed so that it also tasted very basic and bland especially for $6 a serving. Overall, only the tenders & toast were good. Everything else was disappointing and overpriced. I really wish this place was better. I truly think there's potential due to the excellent tenders but all the sides severely need work. read more

Walking in, good seating space. Tables are well kept and clean . The ambience is calm and welcoming. The walls are painted Entering you are greeted and menu is visible on TV screens, they are to the point and detailed. The service is awesome they greet you and recommend food spiciness. For a person who loves spiciness, their Hot is like a medium and their medium is mild. My son and I ordered the following; CluckinMac and the Tender Combo; Better and Feel it Twice Spice Level. CluckinMac could have been better honestly. It was okay. The chicken does not have the spice, it is just on top. The MacNCheese was bland, creamy cheese sauce though (texture) but the fries were good , good seasoning and crisp outside with tender inside. The chicken was tender and juicy, like mentioned before, wish the spice was added to chicken. Also, the ratio of chicken to mac and fries was off, to little chicken pieces. For the tender combo, now that was yummy! Spice level there, tasty! Crispy outside with tender juicy chicken that falls apart! The Toast was crispy and tasty, wish it was two pieces! I ordered tots, what you would expect from tots. Crispy outside and tender inside, not much to say, but when dipped in their house sauce! Now we are talking, had to order another sauce just to finish dipping my tots and my chicken! Would recommend the chicken ! Would go again if by the area read more

I love supporting Armenian owned businesses so when I found out that there is a Cluck and Blaze nearby, I just had to try it. I ordered the mild main chick sandwich and boy was it spicy! It definitely brought tears to my eyes but I am a weakling when it comes to spicy so keep that in mind lol. The chicken was juicy and flavorful. It was well marinated and the cluck sauce is bomb! The buns are also soft and fresh tasting and surprisingly did not get soggy even after a 30 minute drive home. My order was complete and ready to pick up in ten minutes and I was on my way to enjoying a delightful chicken meal. Cluck cluck. read more

The chicken sandwich was so delicious that I let out an involuntary "mh!" I got it in medium and it had only a slight spice. Next time, I'll try the level above it. Not to mention, the chicken was fresh, tender, and crunchy. The mac & cheese was also a 5/5. The best mac & cheese I've ever had in my life. There's a specific unique flavor in there that elevates everything. My new go to chicken place. Service was normal. Not really important to me. I went on a Tuesday and it wasn't busy at all.

The Main Chic is a big juicy and delicious sandwich! I recommend it to everyone if you're really hungry. If you're not too hungry get the Side Chick. There's also several levels of heat for your chicken sandwich. My heat level is CHICKEN (no heat) or YOU CAN DO BETTER (mild) lol. My husband's heat level is BETTER (medium). I got the combo which comes with a side. I picked the mac n cheese. I loved the mac n cheese is so creamy and cheesy! I would buy it again! I've also had their fries and they're also delicious! Staff are friendly and efficient. The store is very clean. There's tables and chairs to enjoy your food. I usually take mine to go or have it delivered to my home.

A little late in review but.. Omg this place... i stopped by randomly on a late dinner adventure which not many restaurants are open around close to 10. Anyways I didnt know what to get since every chicken place I go to usually has completely different spice levels and I love it very spicy but not enough to die which is hard. But the girl working julia was able to give us samples of the spice levels... unheard of so awesome. I was going to order my regular sandwich order and again julia recommended me a certain chicken sandwich while asking me if I liked certain items because it had eggs and tators in them. She did really go out and beyond to help me and another friend out. I got my sandwich my friend got his fries and man this sandwich is hella FIRE. Like I suck at taking pics it doesn't do it justice. Its so good and im so glad julia recommended it to me. I can look thru the menu again and check but im a little lazy and will jus post the pic. The food was great and service was even better. Thank you julia even though you guys were 30min from close to be so friendly and give us great service. Cooks also doin work makin bomb food. read more

The medium was spicy and delicious but u forgot to order a side of tots or fries is a must . My boyfriend ordered the overpriced combo that doesn't come with drink.
