My quest to find another great burger spot led me to a little corner eatery in South Glendale. The branding here is bright and lively...kind of a mixture of pop art and anime. Inside is clean and spacious. Menu offers mainly smash burgers and chicken items, along with various sides. Prices are decent. Ordered the following: - Double-double wagyu smash up combo - 8.5/10: superb smash burger. Decadent, flavorful, what sets this burger apart is that they use wagyu beef patties and fry them in butter. Lots of it. Every bite is going to be juicy. If there was a comparable, I'd probably say Shake Shack's smash burger. It's about the same size and has the same soft bun. But Cluck's blows it away. Easily. - Fries - 8.5/10: seasoned extremely well, these are extra crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Comes with two dips of their burger sauce and ketchup. By the way, their sauce is excellent. Most burger sauces are too tarty. Theirs are well-balanced with some heat. - Six piece wings - 8/10: dry rubbed. Got these in mild. There are higher levels of heat, of course. These were perfectly fried and damn tasty. This really is good food and this spot should be way more popular than it is. I had lunch here on a Monday and there was hardly anyone there, sadly. I suspect it could he the location as it sits on a corner of a super busy intersection that makes it not easily accessible. And the foot traffic here isn't that great at all. Anyway, a great time was had by all. read more

I found this spot following a series of unfortunate events left me stranded across the street. Now, I'm not one who eats when depressed, angry, etc. However, if I didn't get some real food in me and soon. My alter - ego, Commander A-hole was destined to arrive. What followed was a delicious, fresh, and satisfying lunch. The staff worked like a machine, they offered delicious choices of agua frescas, and the house seasoning on the fries had me questioning whether to ever salt fries from anywhere else. The ambiance was simple, fabulously air conditioned ( it was 95 outside ) and as clean as you'd want it to be. They say everything happens for a reason, and this place made a horrible morning a better afternoon read more

I saw this place pop up a while ago and thought I would finally give it a try for the smash burger, I got the Double Cheese Candied Bacon and Jalapeño. Unfortunately the layout of menu in the restaurant was confusing and didn't show everything that is on their website. The cashier had the option for the burger on the register, but it was trying to force the combo as the only option. I only wanted the burger so I ended up just ordering off the website. I was charged an $0.85 Fee on top of taxes when ordering through the website, which was annoying since I just wanted to order there. I'm going with 3 stars and not less because the flavor of the burger was good, and the size was good too, unfortunately the amount of grease was pretty unacceptable. I understand Wagyu is much fattier but my bottom bun was completely soaked and sitting in grease. I would suggest they address these issues, it has deterred me from coming back anytime soon. Also the reason it took me so long to try this place out is because Cluck and Blaze failed because it wasn't good, so naming this shop basically the same thing seems like an odd choice to me. read more

This place has a heck of good burger and sandwiches. This is pretty similar to smash burger but much better than them in all the aspects. The food quality and the taste of the burger is so good and the waiting time was not that long. The guy who served was very nice and fast. This deserve more recognition for what they are doing and being there. Must go try this place to know what I mean. The restaurant itself is pretty empty but I think they have more to go orders and a lot of delivery orders. They had some nice and fun hip hop music was on and that was one point. read more

Cluck & Smash - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

I found out about this place a few weeks ago from a Yelp Elite event and absolutely loved it and had to come back and try some of their other items. They have a lot of different breakfast burritos and lunch burritos that have either chicken or wagyu patty in it, depending on which one you order. I wanted to try the Nashville Mac Attack, which included mac and cheese and a chicken tender for about $12 - honestly if you order the tender and mac and cheese separately, I think it would've been more expensive and I love the flavors together. The mac and cheese made the burrito really creamy and added a whole nother level to the chicken tender. 10/10. I also wanted to try their fried pickles. These are okay. I don't think I would get it again because they are actually too crunchy and too fried, in my opinion. It is flavored and seasoned well though. The service here is good and the workers have been very nice every time. Service is a bit on the slower end and it took about 15-20 minutes for the food to arrive but I liked how they brought the tray of food out to my table. read more

I've been to Cluck & Smash three times this February. The first time was for lunch on Monday, February 9th, the second time was for dinner on Saturday, February 14th, and the third time was tonight. Tonight, I ordered all the burgers to go because I had my niece's performance to attend. On February 9th and February 14th, I dined at the restaurant. Their Wagyu beef burger is absolutely delicious, and the French fries are incredibly crispy and tasty. Also, every time I've visited, all of the staff have been consistently kind and friendly, which makes the experience even better. I usually get tired of eating the same food repeatedly and don't go to the same place often. So the fact that I came to the same restaurant three times in one month truly says how exceptionally good the food is, in my opinion. read more

Up here from Oside!!! on a work trip and someone told me about this place so of course I had to come check it out. Place was nice and clean looks like a cool spot. Got the Wagyu double smash burger with fires and an order of chicken wings to go. Burger did not disappoint, nice and smashed lol and it tasted good. Chicken wings were nice and crispy how I like em. Next time I'm up here I'll definitely stop back by! read more

Tenders were very fresh and made to order but their medium and hot spice levels have no flavor other than just straight heat. Fries had a great texture but they were room temp. Staff is friendly and helpful. At $17 for 2 tenders and fries (no drink), there's so many actual well-known established Nashville spots with cheaper prices and better flavors (Dave's, Howlin Rays, etc). They also charge $1 per ketchup, which I've never seen anywhere in my life lol. Their "seasoned fries" are misleading as that normally refers to seasoning salt (Lawry's, etc), not their hot chicken seasoning. So their seasoned fries are somewhat spicy. Might be back to try their burger but even that's pricey just because it's Wagyu. People don't realize that Wagyu serves no purpose once you ground the meat. The whole point of Wagyu is to leave it whole so there's fat rendered into big steak cuts. Once you ground it up, it's equivalent to any high fat ground beef. Great staff and atmosphere, but in my opinion there's some improvements to be made if they want to last long-term. read more

Cluck & Smash - 2 tenders with fries - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

I've been coming here for their chicken sandwiches since it was Cluck & Blaze so when I saw they were converting to Cluck & Smash, I was ecstatic because I love a good smash burger. So I popped in to give it a try with a friend. We just happened to be in the area and since we weren't very hungry, we decided to split a Double-Double Wagyu Burger combo, which came with a drink and fries. I've had wagyu beef before and was impressed with its tender buttery texture so I was excited to see how it translated into a burger. When the meal arrived, I was a bit taken aback by the small size of the burger itself. Mind you, smash burgers aren't known to be large, but I expected more. The photo promised one thing and I got another. It immediately reminded me of the big fast food burger chains that show you photos of these gorgeous burgers piled high with ingredients and dripping in sauce. I got a rather flattened interpretation I suppose, more like a smushed burger than a smash burger. The carton also contained a rather sizable portion of seasoned fries. The burger, while tasty flavor wise, was a letdown. I was expecting some fatty, tender patties of wagyu but got chewy beef instead. It was nothing like the outstanding flavorful, tender beef patties you get at Proudly Serving or For The Win. And there was no crispy halo around the patties, another signature of a great smash burger. The fries were pretty good, but be forewarned that they use Cajun seasoning, not your usual seasoning salt. Thankfully they still have their chicken sandwiches on the menu and I'll be back for those. But I'll take a hard pass on the smash burgers, especially since For The Win is nearby. read more

Cluck & Smash - Double-Double Smash Up Burger - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

Starting off, the fries were arguably the crispiest fries I've ever had without ruining the softness of the potato inside. They were also seasoned amazingly. The Wagyu burger was also very yummy. I loved how crispy yet tender the meat was. You can really taste the quality of the meat here apart from other smash burger places. The grilled onions were perfectly cooked and portioned too. For the chicken sando, I got the buffalo butter which was not too tangy. The chicken was also extremely crispy despite the amount of sauce it was drenched in. The buns were also unique because it was connected like a hot dog bun. Our server was also very sweet and helpful when helping us pick flavor for the chicken sandwich. read more

I got a single smash burger and it was perfectly cooked with lacey edges and a juicy center. The only change I would make is less sauce as there was a lot of it hiding under the bun and it was overpowering. I also got to try the fries and the mango habanero chicken sandwich and it was one of the best chicken sandwiches in terms of size and flavor. The fries were coated and seasoned, and were also really good and not too salty. Kirshen (sp?) helped us and he was friendly and efficient. The location is right at the corner but parking at the grocery next door made it easy to get in and out of. Definitely worth a try! read more

Cluck & Smash - Single smash - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

My sister recommended this place and i definitely was not disappointed. The smash burger was good (im pretty picky so i got it plain) but the smashville fries really knocked it out the park. First off, im especially picky when it comes to thousand island type sauces. I dont like in n out, chic fil a, daves or chick next door sauce. I do however love cane's sauce. And this sauce was reminiscent of it. Tangy and garlicky. 10/10 sauce. That being said, the mac and cheese and the chicken tenders were also better than other "hot chicken" places like daves or chick next door. Its a really large size and thank god the size represents the price. You can easily share this with a friend like I did. We struggled to finish this. Would recommend and will go again. . read more

This spot is a hidden gem! The burgers are cooked to perfection juicy, flavorful, and with that crispy, caramelized edge only a true smash burger has. You can tell they use quality ingredients because the patties taste fresh, and the buns hold everything together without getting soggy. The fries are golden and seasoned just right, and the staff is super friendly and fast. Whether you're grabbing lunch on the go or sitting down for a casual meal, it hits every time. Definitely coming back this might be my new favorite burger place in town! read more

Cluck & Smash in Glendale absolutely delivers From the moment you walk in, the service is amazing -- friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. And for the quality you get, the prices are so good. It's rare to find a spot that nails service, quality, and value all at once. The ambience is such a vibe too -- modern, clean, and energetic without feeling chaotic. It has that cool, casual spot energy where you can grab a quick bite but still feel like you're somewhere special. The atmosphere just adds to the whole experience. The hot chicken sando is INSANELY good. Juicy, fresh, perfectly crispy with that spicy kick that builds in the best way. And the slaw inside? Literally perfect. It adds that cool, crunchy balance that makes every bite chef's kiss. And let's talk about the smash burger... hands down the best I've ever had. Crispy edges, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, melty cheese -- it's everything a smash burger should be and more. Cluck & Smash is officially a must-visit. Glendale did not come to play. read more

1st time eating here. I ordered the single burger, no pickles and sauce. The burger was very good, the restaurant was clean and the restroom too. I recommend eating here. read more

Cluck & Smash - Burgers Near Me - Glendale, California

Yelp Cliff Notes: In a saturated nashville hot chicken sandwich market, cluck and smash delivers! Yelp Unabridged Version: I used to frequent cluck and blaze, the previous restaurant, all the time. Inconsistency of food and mediocre customer service, made me less inclined to dine there over the years. So much so, that I had a bias and would not try the new restaurant with a similar name. Boy am I glad I did. This restaurant is bomb.com. From the structurally sound split top bun that won't allow a single coleslaw slice to slip out of your grip to the perfect diversity of menu, it sets this restaurant apart. No where can you get wagyu smash burgers, wings, Nashville hot chicken, decadent corn, AND reputable healthy offerings for a reasonable price. Don't be chicken. Stop by :D read more

YOU MUST TRY THEIR FOOD! It's fabulous--and I don't say that often. The chicken sandwich; the wagyu beef sandwich; the fries, it's all good. We've started coming here with friends often. Cluck 'n Smash knocks it out of the park, the other guys should just go home. read more

The food here is flavorful and filling. Extra well done burger and crispy seasoned fries combo is my usual; it's consistently great. The crispy seasoned fries are the best in the area. Friendly and considerate customer service by all employees I have interacted with.

Appreciate having such a quality burger option within walking distance. read more

Just opened up and is pretty good. Prices were very reasonable and the portions were great. My agua was a little watered down but to be fair it was a 90 degree day and their ac sounded like it was trying its best. I was so filled from my plate though that I couldn't even finish the drink anyways. I also appreciated how the bread wasn't just plain old wonder breads like some hot chicken places. I don't have any comments on the service since you only really order at the counter but we were greeted right away when we walked in so that's always nice. read more

New ownership has really made some great changes My girlfriend and I both got the smashburger combos with fries & fried pickles, and it was delicious.

The Nashville hot lived up to the name. Super spicy and delicious We had come to cluck & Blaze previously and had a poor experience by the end due to heavily decreased quality of the food (size, flavor, etc.) but this visit really showed how much better the new spot intends to be.

Very over priced and they even charge $1 for their sauces. No wonder that is empty and nobody is going there. I was told that only the cambo come with sauce.

I would recommend this place to anyone who wanted some great chicken. read more
