    tenders, nashville chicken sandwich, chicken caesar salad wrap
    Alberto R.

    Saw this spot after going to Paderia once. Decided to finally stop in. Parking is pretty easy to find here & theres seating inside and out. Service was also good. I ordered some tenders , a chicken sandwich and their new chicken caesar salad wrap/burrito. Everything was so good. The chicken sandwich had a huge piece of chicken in it and it was juicy. That alone wouldve filled me up. I oike how they do individual tenders so i can try as many sauces as I want. I usually get spicy flavors but i wanted to try their Garlic Parm and it was pretty good. I also got buffalo, mango habanero and hot. The only spicy one was hot. All the tenders were pretty big. The chicken caesar wrap was also pretty good. The sauce that comes with it is fireee. Im probably coming back again soon to try the rest of the sauces haha. Def recommend!

    My first time here and I'm impressed! It happened to be a Tuesday and they had a Tenders Tuesday promotion for $2.50 each and allows different flavors for each piece. The tenders were huge and perfectly fried when it came out. The outside was crispy and inside was truly tender, juicy, and steaming hot. So fresh and delicious. We tried Garlic Parm as a non spicy option. We also ordered Nashville medium and Nashville hot. They were all really flavorful and very good. Personally I could easily handle the Hot. I heard from others that they used to have two spicier flavors that are no longer available. I'm sad I never got to try them. The flavors were very intense and can easily be added to a sandwich and it would have plenty of flavor.

    Really enjoyed this spot. From the great service, to the huge range of chicken items on the menu to the food itself - everything was really good. We went right when they opened and you can tell everything was made fresh. I really like the corn fritters, the wings & sauces. Would definitely come back!

    Wow! Im absolutely floored with Cluck chicken. I was in the area and needed a quick lunch. Picked this up and was very surprised. I have to admit, the menu layout was a bit confusing at first and took me a minute to figure it out. The cashier was lovely and after letting her know it was my first time she went above and beyond to guide me through the process. You can get as many chicken tendies as you want at this place! Just 1? 2? 5? 30? You name it, they got you. I went with their most popular, the Korean Soy Garlic and Nashville hot. Southern man here, I love spicy! - KGS was absolutely . Flavor was on point. I dragged the chicken through all the sauce that dripped off. SO GOOD! The Nashville hot was spicy, but mild for my taste buds. Dont be fooled, if youre not used to spice you might get burned. Excellent flavor with a kick, just as it should be. I didn't want to get too crazy so I ordered normal curly fries. These were well seasoned and crunchy with soft inside. Great place to eat. Similar to Dave's Hot Chicken and Cane's. What I love about Cluck is the wide customization items. I will definitely be back for more of that Korean Garlic Soy and their new flavor, Mango Habenaro. Give this place a try. You won't regret it.

    Wow sooo good! We got the 15 piece and were allowed 3 flavors. We chose Korean soy garlic, medium Nashville and lemon pepper. The chicken was soo juicy it literally leaked with each bite. It was also very crispy and had an amazing batter that wasn't too thick. Lemon pepper flavor was a 4/5, Nashville medium 5/5 sooo delicious. The soy garlic was like a 3/5 because I prefer it extra saucy but there wasn't much of a potent flavor and it wasn't as wet. I would definitely return

    Okay, so I met the owner at a Yelp event last year. He owns the Cut which serves a great burger and other American choices. He has a new name from me: The Chicken Guy! Yes, he discovered he has a "gift" in making incredible chicken sandwiches. No, not just good chicken sandwiches, no these are at a whole other level of good. I'm thinking perfection. Crunchy on the outside, and sweet and tender inside. Words can't do it. If you visit this place one time, you will be coming back for their chicken for the rest of your life.. For example, their Korean Soy Garlic Jumbo Tenders are beyond words to describe how good. Secret spot for chicken in Southern California.

    I got a snack here at Cluck Kitchen and enjoyed it. Food: I tried the cheese curds and enjoyed them a lot. They were very delicious and the portion size was very good. The dipping sauce tasted great as well. The only downside was the price. Service: The food came out quickly and the employees are very friendly. Ambiance: The decor inside is very nice but the seating inside is limited.

    Nashville Loaded Fries
    Jasmine N.

    Friendly staff and food came out relatively quick. I ordered the Nashville loaded fries, which is the popular flavor, in medium spice. The spice level is tolerable except some pieces of chicken that has really absorbed all the spices may burn. The cole slaw and fries help with relief. The fries are curly fries so I was happy they were not just steak fries or crinkle cut fries. The chicken pieces were nicely cooked and flavorful. We agreed this is a generous portion for two and a good sharing portion for 4 people if each person ordered a main such as a burger.

    Came across a free item offer on social media. The classic chicken sandwich is simple and very good. The lemon pepper wings are my favorite. Juicy and packed with flavor. I will definitely wanna try more wing flavors!

    Regular Nashville Hot
    Bryan O.

    Fantastic sandwich and vinegar based slaw. Surprisingly light and grease free, especially for the size of it! Went on a Sunday, ate outside, had a fantastic meal and an excellent experience. I'd def go back again!

    Mini Nashville
    Jarvis J.

    Saw this on instagram and we decided to go here to try it out. It was worth it. We got 2 mini sandwiches and a loaded fries. The classic cluck is the smaller version but honestly it is the same size as other places, which is good. Chicken is fried nicely and still juicy. Comes with mayo and lettuce. Think I will ask for cole slaw next time though. The Nashville hot is also a mini version and is the same as the classic but has cole slaw. Very tasty and it comes in four different levels of heat. The side of pickles were good as it allows you to add to the sandwich or eat them as is. The CBR loaded fries are waffle fries covered in cheese and fried chicken bites with a sauce. This is big enough to a be meal by itself. No need to order something else. Overall a 10/10 Definitely coming back as it is beater than other places and closer to home than other places we go.

    This is one of the best fried boneless chicken restaurant in the area! Freshly fried chicken, excellent seasoning, and nice crust. Chicken meat is high quality breast. Definitely worth a visit!

    I was on a work trip and I was looking for a restaurant to eat dinner. I had heard about this restaurant through social media influencer and Yelp. When I entered the restaurant I was greeted by staff. Staff were nice and friendly. It was wing Wednesday. I ordered Korean soy garlic and garlic Parmesan. The wings had a phenomenal taste and very tender. The ambiance is customer friendly. The menu has some great choices and great flavors for the chicken.

    Ask the Community - Cluck Kitchen

    Does Cluck Kitchen use seed oils?

    Unfortunately, they don't use good oil. They fry in peanut oil which is inflammatory. If they fried in beef tallow, ghee, or avocado oil, I would eat here every single day.

    Do you guys use sugar in the medium batter (we ordered the strips and it tasted really sweet)?

    Is the chicken organic? Who is your chicken supplier?

    Last I checked on their website, the chicken is not organic unfortunately.

    Hello! Are wings available?

    Yes

    Is there American Cheese in the mac and cheese?

    Can we place phone orders now?

    Unfortunately, we will not accept phone orders. In the near future online ordering will be available. Many thanks.

    Do they do curbside pick up?

    No, but you can call ahead and put in your order, and pick it up at the counter.

    White or dark meat for their sandwiches?

    White

    Is it halal?

    No. Different style

    Which app can I order delivery from them?

    You cannot and they do not accept phone orders. Even considering Covid. Very inconvenient

    What are covid hours here?

    For now our hours are: Monday - Saturday 11am - 7pm or sold out Sunday Closed

    Do you know if the chicken is halal?

The room was getting progressively hotter so we asked if the AC was on and a server casually told us the AC was "on the fritz." We had spent months planning this event and this was incredibly disappointing. Even before the guests arrived, I noticed the cupcakes and macarons I had brought in melting from the extreme heat. All the guests were noticeably and understandably uncomfortable and sweating the entire 3 hours. No one came to check on us or to apologize for the inconvenience. This was not the event we had envisioned for the guest of honor who was 8 months pregnant. It was not only uncomfortable but also posed a health risk.The restaurant showed a lack of concern, care and accountability over the entire situation. I understand that the weather and the AC breaking were out of anyone's control but the handling of the situation and the aftermath was poor. We tried to give the restaurant opportunities to make this right but they failed at every opportunity. Because of the lack of communication, poor decision making and incompetency, I cannot recommend this restaurant for any events. The servers were nice and the food was all right but there are many other acceptable options for food in the area.

The pairing of the rich mole sauce and sweet potato puree takes the dish to an entirely different level, complementing each other effortlessly. ​Baklava Cheesecake: A creative and delicious twist on a classic. The cream cheese filling is light rather than dense, and instead of a traditional graham cracker crust, it features a fantastic baklava crust. It is nicely balanced and not overly sweet, though you will definitely want to pair it with a cup of coffee to finish it off. ​ ​Service: The staff is exceptionally friendly, highly attentive, and organized, making you feel well cared for throughout the meal. ​Portions: Portions are slightly on the smaller side.
