    Finally remembered I needed to stop by El Pollo Dorado since I pass by it all the time and my mouth starts to water. I got the dinner plate which is half a chicken and 2 sides. It also came with some flour or corn tortillas and some delicious salsa. Service was very friendly and efficient. There are some tables to sit at which are covered but outside. Everything was very tasty and I'll definitely go back.

    Support your local businesses! If you're looking for a good rotisserie chicken dinner special look no further. A tiny walk up window with some outside seating and small parking lot. Super quick and helpful service. The chicken was bomb! The skin had soo much flavor and the chicken fell off the bone and was still juicy. We got the mini pack with a whole chicken, rice, beans, tortillas and salsa for $22.99. Fed 3 of us and still had one serving left. The beans were delicious too. The rice could use a bit more flavor but for the price all worth it. Will definitely be frequenting again.

    Chicken Burrito
    RocioHdez D.

    Everyone loves this chicken. It's very affordable to get a family meal that comes with 2 whole chickens, 3 large sides, tortillas, salsa and a big soda. Our favorite item is the massive wet burrito they offer. Takes 4 to 5 people to finish it employees always very kind and nice. Never takes long to get your food . Small parking area but worth every effort. There is a couple benches with shade if you want to eat there.

    The area isn't my favorite but they do serve good portions for a good price. I got their half chicken meal with the rice and beans. The chicken was very flavorful, the rice and beans were good as well. My boyfriend got the chicken burrito and it was very meaty. They were not stingy with their chicken portions. Service was good but I did feel there was a lot of homeless around so I would honestly grab my food to go next time.

    I was in the area for work and decided to drop in for a quick lunch. When I say quick, I mean quick. I ordered their half chicken with corn tortillas and the food came out no less than 2 minutes after I ordered it. The guy out the window offered me both types of salsa to try out since it was my first time and enjoyed both of them thoroughly. The chicken came out crispy and hot and I the tortillas were steaming hot. The salsas were typical but flavorful and paired well with the chicken. The restaurant itself looks pretty janky with a limited parking lot that could support up to maybe eight cars, max. There's a outside dining area where you can enjoy your meal at and a little hand wash station to wash your hands after handling your food. All in all, it was a great meal spending only $8.99 for half a chicken and tortillas. They were quick and courteous and super convenient, especially if you're running tight for lunch. Definitely will be back whenever I'm in the area.

    Dinner Combo $13

    I tried the dinner combo, my first time here. Impressed with the flavor and juiciness of the chicken. Good price point with a bang for my buck. Beans were tender and salted well. Rice was tender and salted well. Salsa was fresh. 10/10 no complaints at all.

    Always good. Hot salsa is the best. I always gets extra so I can use it for other things.

    Whole chicken - incredibly soft and delicious
    Fernando A.

    Oh wow, I don't know how to describe El Pollo Dorado. Maybe like el pollo loco, but ten times better. The chicken is so soft and delicious. And the skin tastes so good. We got the family pack which was a whole chicken, rice, beans, potato salad, salsa, and tortillas. Everything was so good, and way too much for two people. Next time, we can get half and still have leftovers for another meal. Anyways, next time you want some chicken, give El Pollo Dorado a try. You won't be disappointed!

    ***UPDATE FOLLOWING DIANA M'S *EDITED* RESPONSE***…read more After deleting her prior response to this review, she is now just focusing on the complaint about the online service fee. I never suggested that it was a "hidden fee", I just pointed out that it is a very high fee for ordering online. As pointed out before, ordering online directly from a restaurant does not usually incur a fee, let alone a $6 fee. If Diana feels that ordering online is so onerous, then maybe she should deactivate that feature and encourage her customers to phone in their orders. Diana should also consider not badgering customers that did not have a good experience with her restaurant and consider taking some classes in Customer Service 101. It's not a good way to run a business and the fastest way to lose customers. ***UPDATE FOLLOWING DIANA M's RESPONSE*** It's unfortunate that the owner responded with excuses and condescension. A simple "Hey, sorry for the mishap, we will make sure it won't happen again" would have sufficed. At least that way, she likely would have had a returning customer since the food is good. But now, no way Jose. And the $5.00 online service fee is egregious. I order quite a bit online and always try to order directly through the restaurants website to avoid fees. I don't know if any other restaurants that charge fees to order online unless there is a delivery involved. --------------------------- Well, not sure what to say. We put in an online order last night, which went through with a $4.95 service fee. (We ordered through their direct site rather than a third party sight to save on fees) If that wasn't bad enough, I showed up at the designated pick up time, and the place was closed. WTF? About an hour later, we were refunded our money, but why is the website taking orders and collecting payments when you're not even open? Talk about inconvenience. And clearly their posted operating hours are inconsistent.

For a quick celebratory bite though, it really did the job. Will definitely be back.

I love the "crunch" of a fried chicken and it just got lost in this sandwich. By the time I had my sandwich since I had it to go, it was borderline soggy.

Seasoned very well, tartar sauce definitely complimented it. The fries were cooked fresh and decently filled to the brim of the bag. The chicken was big let down. The wing was the first piece grabbed out the bag and the temperature wasn't there. No juice, just luke warm dried meat. The second piece I grabbed was the drumstick and again temperature was off. No juice or no steam. It didn't feel like these pieces were under any heat lamps. Felt left out as each piece eaten didn't really have any residual heat. 3rd piece I grabbed was the thigh which I mistook for a breast because it was bigger in size. After positioning in eat mode I decided to pack the rest home instead because the chicken wasn't hot enough. Funny thing is after 1 hour drive my chicken breast piece had some retained heat. Little did I realize the stellar fries kept the breast warm. Shame on this place ... even KFC is enjoyable once order is secured. Their hot sauce packed in cups were good Hopefully they work on the their chicken game because it's comical that their fish outshined the chicken.

After waiting over an hour, we still only received about half of our order. About 40 minutes into the wait, I was told they were out of chicken, which meant I never received the chicken and waffles I ordered. I also never received my baked beans. I understand that restaurants can run out of items, but I wish we had been told much sooner instead of waiting that long. What makes this even more disappointing is the amount of money we spent, and as you can see from our receipt, we tipped very well.

Unfortunately, between the long wait, missing food, and the quality of what we did receive, I honestly don't feel the experience was worth the money. We were also visiting from out of town and specifically chose this place, so it was disappointing to spend such a large part of our visit waiting for food we ultimately didn't receive. I really feel that some type of refund or compensation should have been offered, especially for the items we paid for but never received. I do want to be fair and mention that they gave us complimentary water and banana pudding, which we appreciated. However, it didn't make up for waiting over an hour and not receiving our complete order. Would I come back? Maybe, but only once things are more organized and structured.

I recently stopped by and was honestly impressed, especially with the portion sizes and flavor. I ordered the two-tender combo, and right away I noticed these weren't your average tenders--they were jumbo. Thick, crispy, and cooked just right. The outside had that perfect crunch while the inside stayed juicy and tender. You also get to pick your heat level, which is clutch whether you like it mild or want that real Nashville kick. The combo came with Texas toast, pickles, and their signature comeback sauce. The Texas toast was buttery and soft, perfect for balancing out the spice. The pickles added that tangy bite that cuts through the richness of the chicken, and the comeback sauce tied everything together--it's creamy, slightly tangy, and honestly addicting. I also ordered the Cluckin' fries, which come loaded with their comeback sauce and your choice of heat on the chicken. These were a whole meal on their own. Crispy fries topped with flavorful chicken and sauce--it's messy in the best way possible. I gave their mac & cheese a try too--it was okay, not bad, but definitely not the standout compared to everything else. Stick to the chicken and fries and you'll be happy.

Overall, Cluck and Blaze delivers on flavor, portion size, and that classic Nashville hot chicken experience.

I opted out of their waffle fries this time since I had some yummy potato salad waiting for me in the fridge. But those fries... *drool* The chicken tenders are also bomb here. Nice big pieces of white meat chicken, nice and juicy on the inside and great with many dipping sauces. I like this shared kitchen location.

The sandwich on the other hand was just decent to me. It wasn't bad but it just didn't leave much of a long lasting impression on me. Though the texture was good, I personally felt that the food was just a little too overly salty for my liking. Overall I don't hate Bird-N-Bun but I'm not sure if I'd be back. 3/5
