We were exploring Liberty Station and thought the chicken fries sounded good, so we decided to give this place a try. The food itself was decent, but the wait was longer than expected. My husband ordered Hawaiian BBQ after I placed my order here, and he received his food first while I was still waiting another 8-10 minutes. As for the chicken fries, I wish there had been more chicken since it felt like it was mostly fries. I also wasn't a huge fan of the nacho cheese choice, though I will say it was more flavorful than typical nacho cheese, which I appreciated. read more

We stopped by FC inside Liberty Public Market to grab lunch. I'm not sure of the allure of LPM. The food at FC was mediocre, and the other eateries did not look appealing. The chicken and fries were bland. Secondarily, I asked for hot sauce as one of my free sauces. I was given Cholula: Palm to face. Lastly, I put S & P, and Cholula on the fries and they could not be rescued. Fries should be seasoned straight out of the fryer. The service was fast, and the woman who served us was nice. All the eateries at LPM don't have their own seating. You find a communal place to sit and eat. In this case we found a bar, and I grabbed an overpriced beer. All in all, a ho hum experience at LPM and FC. I will not return. read more

This was a small hole in the wall place at liberty station. Chicken was cooked fresh, and you got to pick the sause. I got teh BBQ as it seemed like a safe bet. The meal was ok. It wasn't bad but nothing really made it stand out to me. Maybe a bit salty. It was ok for the price, and libnerty station seems to be a bit expensive for what you get in general no matter which place you get lunch at. read more

Great spot! Welcoming, friendly service. Right inside Liberty public market. From the main entrance by the outdoor patio seating, head straight. You'll see the communal table seating, turn right and it'll be on the right hand side. Tap to pay. Choose your spice level & dipping sauce. Luvd the light, airy, crispy, fluffy battered chicken all tucked inside a toasty bun with butter pickle, house sauce and coleslaw on the side cuz I want my chicken extra crunchy. There's a lot of choices here at the market this is one to definitely visit for a good chicken slider. It's just the right size so you can have room left over for dessert. read more

We wanted to visit Liberty Public Market and I found a chicken restaurant inside. First the Liberty Public market was fantastic and eclectic and had a ton of different eateries and shops inside. So glad we stopped by. I found Fluster Cluck And saw the happy hour jumbo slider and knew I had to try it. The house sauce was great. The heat was good (I chose mild and I think my wimpy tastebuds could have even handled medium) the slider was very large for a slider so the portion was quite generous. The chicken was quite good and the breading had a very good satisfying and lasting crunch. I was so pleasantly surprised about the great taste of this chicken burger that it has made it up to #4 on my list. You gotta give Fluster Cluck and liberty public market a try. read more

It was ok. We ordered tenders with fries and piece of toast. We asked for mild and the chicken tenders were well seasoned. However, the fries had no flavor whatsoever. You had to use the dip or else you're going to feel like you're eating cardboard. You get two sauces per order anymore is extra. We ended up using the sauce for the fries. read more

I think the pictures on the menu are a bit misleading. It looks like Nashville hot chicken (red all over) but it's more just normal fried chicken with a dusting of paprika seasoning. To be fair the worker said it wasn't nashville but similar but even so this was meh for me. There's something about the breading that makes it separate from the chicken. read more

Food It's okaaaaay. It's not bad, but it's nothing worth raving about either. With so many hot chicken choices around the city, you could easily find better tasting one. That said, they have decent hot chicken. The skin is crispy, I got the Hot level and it was mildly hot to me. It doesn't taste like a typical Nashville hot chicken, more like a peppery spicy chicken. I got the cheesy chicken fries, which is a bed of crinkle cut fries with nacho cheese reminiscent of movie theater nacho cheese, pieces of chicken and a sprinkle of spring onions (didn't go well with the taste imo). The fries themselves were plain, but they have salt and pepper where you pick up your food. For each meal, you're allowed to choose 2 sauces. I tried the house sauce and the honey mustard. I liked the honey mustard. Satisfying portion. When you order, you're asked for your phone number so you can receive a text when it's ready. Because this is a stall inside the market, you can just pick up your food when it's ready and have it wherever you want. I recommend sitting outside and enjoying the sun if it's a nice sunny San Diego day. read more

Absolutely worth the visit to Liberty Public Market! I've been to this market before when I visited San Diego but I can't remember what I got last time. BUT I'm not forgetting this place. They had affordable prices, perfectly fried chicken with an amazing spice - plus sauces!! They text you when your order is ready which allows you to walk around and the staff was great too! There is seating everywhere at the market - both inside and outside. I had the #1 which included two crispy chicken tenders, American cheese, slaw, bread & butter pickles, Nashville comeback sauce, and crinkle cut fries. I just wish there was one in Austin, TX. read more

OHHH MYYY GOSSSHHHH. This place is certainly no "fluster cluck". I am picky with my fried chicken. Perfectly crispy and seasoned; deliciously tender, juicy, greasy underneath. Absolute perfection. Their house-specialty sauce (forgot the name!) was sooo drool-worthy. Customer service was fine. I love that they text you when your food is ready. Best of all? The price! The food is so affordable for a touristy spot. Paid about $11 for their military meal deal that included a super big slider, a tender, and tons of fries. I was blown away - totally figured it'd be more expensive. Will absolutely be back!!! read more

The portions are very generous here, which I appreciated given the price point is a little high. Because there's so many hot chicken spots in San Diego, I wouldn't recommend this one. I ordered the cheesy chicken fries, and the cheese really brought the overall rating of this place down. It did not pair well with everything going on in the plate, and has a strange artificial taste to it. I'd really recommend that they switch up the cheese used in this, because from what I'm seeing, other people agree. Our cashier was very friendly and helpful though, definitely a reason I wanted to check out the food. Liberty station has plenty of other options, with better food and ambiance. Will not be returning! read more

During our San Diego adventures we stopped at Liberty Public Market this cool open market with a lot of food choices and everyone got to customize their lunch experience, mine? I got some hot chicken!! Actually I got the hot chicken fries. Which was really good, crispy chicken, crispy fries and crunchy bacon bits with cheese. I really enjoyed my lunch and the portion is more than one person should eat. Good service and they were generous with their sauces which some places aren't. My only complaint is I got medium heat and there wasn't any, and someone I was with got their hottest chicken and he called it "a breeze." Don't get me wrong it was really good but if you want it spicy maybe tell them. read more

I have tried my share of hot chicken places over the years. I definitely recommend that you give the tenders, fries, and come back sauce a try if you are at the food market. Food: - Tender 4/5: Well-marinated and tender piece of meat. I chose mild, which carries just enough kick to make me tear up - Slider 3.5/5: I don't think the bun was anything special. And the slide of cheese wasn't melted. Hence a lower score than the tender. I did like the tangy crunch of the slaw, but probably not enough to order another slider in the future. -Comeback sauce 5/5: I really liked the creamy tangy flavor of the sauce. It went well with the fries and the tender. -Fries 5/5: Hot and crisp on the outside, fluffy potato in the middle. Delicious to eat with and without the sauce as they were perfectly seasoned. Price 4/5: Actually quite reasonable considering all the other restaurants in the food market with their significant upcharges. I feel that the price was comparable to other hot chicken restaurants Service 5/5: Very friendly and efficient service Venue 5/5: We came around 11AM when the market opened and there was tons of parking as well as both indoor and outdoor seating. There is a clean restroom with many stalls, as well as a random sink outside the restrooms with leg pedals for the water if you just want to wash your hands. read more

Gave Fluster Cluck a try after passing it many times while visiting the Liberty Station Public Market. The menu is simple, but offers good options. I ordered some of the cheesy chicken fries, spice level hot. It was about a fifteen minute wait. The order had a big portion, and I was given the option to pick a couple of sauces. (I went with the house bbq sauce). The food was hot, loaded with chicken and a cheesy sauce, with plenty of house sauce drizzled all over. Great flavor/heat and crisp for the chicken, great fries, and a flavorful house sauce. A good spot to check out in the Public Market, well worth the price for how much food you get! read more

What a Fluster Cluck! LOL Such an awesome name!!! This little spot in Liberty Station was pretty good. This review is closer to a 3.5 than 4 but for the discount they offer I upped it to a 4 star. LOL The service was great. The prices are good. The chicken was so tender! I ordered the meal with 1 tender and 1 sider, medium heat. The chicken was prepared so well. I have been on a perfect fried chicken search this year and am trying it everywhere I can. This was the best prepared chicken, juicy and tender and cooked thoroughly. The chicken did lack some seasoning flavor and crunch. It was a bit oily. The slider was pretty good with the house sauce and a little slaw. I tried the ranch sauce and honey mustard and both were ok. The fried were pretty good. I would like to try this place again and see if the chicken is a little crunchier and less oily, without sacrificing the tenderness. For the price this was a very good meal. read more

Fluster Cluck Hot Chicken is a fast food type restaurant that serves Nashville-style hot fried chicken. I love a good spicy chicken sandwich so it was a must when we visited Liberty Public Market in San Diego. On the menu are sliders, tenders, salad, fries, and chicken and waffles. The fried chicken is covered with a dry rub and you can choose your spice level from No spice to Cluckin' Hot! We arrived just in time for their happy hour which got me a $5 slider that was huge. If you got hit by the spicy fried chicken sandwich craze, this should be your next stop! read more

Little hot chicken spot in LPM. Reminded me of the fair with the colors and posters of their food. For starters, their computer system was down when we arrived around 11:30. So that may be the reason as to why they were flustered and didn't have the best service. So, I get it. Anyways, food came out pretty quickly and really good and hot. We ordered medium heat (3) and it was perfect. The meal we ordered came with a slider, tender and crinkle cute fries + two dipping sauces. The chicken was yummy! And such large pieces! The tender, I swear was a chicken breast! The slider was good. Soft bun, large piece of hot chicken, slaw and pickles! Crinkle fries were good and sauce was like Raising Canesish. Nothing crazy. Lots of food for $15! read more

It is an elevated fast food place... on the service alone. The place is more comfy than a typical food place, and I appreciated how clean it was. 11/10 on services. The menu is simple and delicious. The chicken is plump on the inside and crispy on the outside. I also like the crinkled fries and toast, that compliments their perfected chicken tenders. I took a bite of my bf's chicken sandwich, and it was very filling. Their Canes sauce was a perfect spread for it. Food is also 11/10. We had our dog with us, so we sat outside at their dog-friendly patio. Will be coming here again, for sure.

To my surprise, the breakfast burrito was pretty decent! The boss came with eggs, sausage, and hash brown. It was huge. I made two meals out of it, one for breakfast and one for lunch. It came with your choice of sauces too! I chose the chipotle sauce and another green salsa I can't remember the name of. Service was good. The cashier was kind and patient and I received my order within 10 minutes of ordering. There is plenty of seating as it is located in the liberty public market. Parking can be a bit tricky if you want to find close parking, but there is parking throughout nearby. I would recommend if you're looking for a filling breakfast! Don't knock it till you try it.

Again, we liked the burgers and tried the burger of the month (the Cowabunga Cowboy burger) which was the best of those we got.

There are a lot of albeit pricy options in the Liberty Public Market, maybe to cover the higher rent so feel free to explore. Lots of parking lots and seating located all around the shops and vendors.

I happen upon the "Chicken Milanesa which is essentially a fried chicken sandwich with freshly sliced avocado, lettuce tomatoes, a queso fresco, a small amount of re-fried beans, and a chipotle aioli spread for $11.99 plus tax. The torta was quite good and no doubt the fried chicken was the star. It was lightly breaded, crunchy, and the breast inside was tender. It could of been a little more juicier, but quite good and well seasoned nevertheless. I loved the addition of the queso fresco and avocado. They both worked very well here with the chicken. The chipotle aioli was very good and offered a subtle heat. Nothing to bad indeed. Both the lettuce and tomatoes were fresh and the bread was of very good quality. I do suggest that they heat it up or press it a little longer to develop a nice crust on it and to ensure it heats through properly. The young lady at the counter was super cool and friendly. I liked that they also offer grilled cheese and their version of avocado toast. Good thinking.

Five torta styles, two appetizers, and a dessert made up the menu. No grasshoppers were offered as a protein despite the business name and logo. I chose an Adobo Pork torta for my order. The meat came with refried bacon beans, sharp yellow cheddar cheese, avocado, lettuce, tomato, pickled red onions, and spicy salsa. A bag of chips and pickled jalapenos also came with the item. For $13.99, the torta was more like a grilled panini so I don't if I was being too picky with how it was prepared. The marinated pork was tasty, but perhaps not worth the extra $2 compared to the sliced ham, Cuban pork, or chicken milanesa. Instead of chips, it would have been nice to get a side of french fries for the price. For the quality and value of the food, I gave Tortas el Chapulin a three star rating.
