    My friend couldn't wait to dig into her #5 Ten Nuggets
    Kristen A.

    Showed up at the perfect time and got to order right away. I'm thankful the menu isn't over complicated because everything looked so good I couldn't figure out what I wanted. The music was a little loud for my liking but that's alright. Friendly wait staff, although a tad slows the chicken was hot, crispy and flavorful, there's a place where I'm from called Dave's Hot Chicken which tries to copy this joint and they could learn a thing, or ten, from Hot Motha Clucker. My friend and I split the 10 piece nuggets with medium spice and some fries which were very satisfying!

    I love having Hot Motha Clucker in town. I drive up from Camarillo whenever I get a craving. It's worth the drive. George has always been so kind and friendly. The chicken is always fresh, perfectly seasoned and moist!!! But the mozzarella sticks are out of this world. I don't understand the magic or why they are so much better than anywhere else. But the delicious food keeps me coming back for more. I just wish you were in Camarillo. We could use an awesome hot chicken place here too. Keep up the good work George and I'll keep growing my Carolina Reapers, Scorpion pepper and more. LOL!!

    I don't say this lightly, but Hot Mother Clucker serves the best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. Yes, better than Dave's Hot Chicken. Better than Howlin' Ray's. And the best part? It's 100% Halal -- so you can dig in with full confidence and zero compromise. From the first bite, you know it's different. The chicken is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and fried to crispy perfection without being greasy. Their spice levels are on point -- flavorful without overwhelming the taste of the actual chicken. You can taste the quality and the care that goes into every piece. The sandwich? Unreal. Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, stacked with fresh pickles and their signature sauce that hits just right. It's crave-worthy. And if you're into tenders or wings, you're in for a treat too -- everything on the menu is consistently fire. What really sets Hot Mother Clucker apart is that they don't just ride the hype. They deliver. Every. Single. Time. If you're on the hunt for top-tier fried chicken that's Halal, local, and legit -- Hot Mother Clucker is it. No question.

    This is a chicken place, but we actually went for the smash burgers! The gentleman at the register and serving us was friendly. It's a little pricey, but everything is these days. I did find it a little odd they actually had a sign saying drinks were not included with the meal because or price increase. I found this a little surprising and kind of disappointing. Seems like prices could be adjusted slightly to include it in a meal versus feeling nickel and dimed. The burgers came out pretty quickly. My family had theirs plain. I had everything on mine, although it didn't come it right they fixed it immediately. Burger wet hot and flavorful. They seemed a little greasy, but that's probably why they had good flavor. The special sauce was tasty and their fries were 10/10! We really enjoyed the seasoning on them. It was fun they had a cup pong table and also a shuffle board game. The vibes were nice. Not a ton of seating inside, but it wasn't packed so we had no issues finding a table big enough.

    I really enjoyed the grilled cheese! Never tried a chicken grilled cheese like that and definitely would recommend. Also the sauce was a very tasty as well. We've been wanting to try this for while and glad we finally were around the area to try it for dinner. They have a good happy hour menu also but we stopped in for dinner. Sharing plates always helps to try more of the menu and would recommend sharing if possible but it's all good.

    Hidden in a plaza in TO, next to a nail salon and Nothing Bundt Cakes is HMC. Ambiance is very casual brewery like, except they have Nashville chicken and fries haha. It's a chill spot to have dinner. Staff was friendly and nice. Ordered a #7 which includes 2 chicken tenders (mild) and a load of fries and two sauces. The combos on the menu also come with a soft drink (not stated on menu) but they do which is great cuz we def need a drink with this type of food! Prices are pretty decent for the amount of food they give. Chicken was crispy and not dry. I was pleasantly surprised by how big the tenders were. Mild was just the right amount of kick but still enjoyable. Fries were crispy. Love that they didn't skimp out on sauces either. If I crave chicken tenders and fries, I'll def come back here!

    Chicken strips medium heat

    I don't eat hot chicken often, but when I crave it, I crave it hard--like a pregnant lady on a mission. Living in Agoura, options are slim and I hate driving over the hill, so I was excited to see a Nashville-style spot open up nearby in Thousand Oaks. I ordered the #7 Nashville Fry Up (medium spice), my wife got the #5 Tender Nuggets (country style, no heat), and my father-in-law went with the #4 Filthy Fries. The chicken tenders were...fine. The seasoning was solid and the crust tasted great--crunchy and flavorful--but the breading didn't stick to the chicken at all. As soon as I cut into it, the crust fell apart and ended up all over my fries. Not the worst thing flavor-wise, just messy and a little disappointing. The Filthy Fries were exactly what they sounded like--over-the-top in a good way--but nothing mind-blowing. My wife's country-style nuggets tasted like something we could've air-fried at home. Not bad, just not $15-worthy. We were the only ones in the restaurant (Monday around 4pm), and it still took about 10-15 minutes for our food, which makes me wonder what the wait would be like during peak hours. Service felt a little off too--I tried to make small talk and it just landed awkwardly. I want to give this place another shot because it's close and has potential, but overall, it was just okay. Not a bad option if you're in the area, but probably not worth a long drive just yet.

    Lunch was delicious! Was yelping around and found this place, came around 3:30 on a Sunday and place was dead (which was a good thing for us lol) The aesthetic of this place was on point . I'm sure it's popping during happy hour . I got the slider duo and it was very good . The sauce it comes with is the main character! Bomb ! My only complaint was when we were looking for a seat 80% of the tables were dirty . For being empty I would have expect the tables to atleast be clean but other than that it was a good experience. Grade : A

    Decided to try this spot because there are only a couple of these locations and I am rarely nearby. I typically do not like tenders because they are often a dry flavorless hunk of meat and usually overrated. I'm so glad I tried these though because now I know how good tenders can be! Firstly, everything is cooked to order and comes out hot and fresh. For this reason I highly recommend ordering online for pickup or delivery if you're not planning to eat in the restaurant. With that said, I ordered a chicken sandwich, combo, medium heat and two tenders also medium heat. I almost ordered the hottest option but the cashier fair warned me that it was truly a heat that sneaks up and hangs around. I had my doubts but I'm glad I heeded his warning because the medium had a little sting to it that was slightly numbing, then a warm feeling that was comforting . So it is tolerable for those who like it a little hot yet still flavor driven. The tenders had a nice crispness along the edges and were literally tender, juicy, and oh so satisfying. I was blown away in every sense. The sandwich was enjoyable, quality products used, I just wish there was more cole slaw on it, there was only a few strands of slaw. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Speed of service: 0/5 Quality of service: 0/5 Food quality: 2/5 Value for dollar: 1/5 Overall 3/20 F This place is easy on the eyes but that's it. For first timers, before you order walk to the bathroom. That hallway smell is like throw up and human poop at the same time. It is FOUL. Next, the woman with the glasses who helped me order before I went to the bathroom is one of the most miserable people I have met. No manners, no customer service, just transactional monotonous tones. Not an ounce of friendly in her personality at all in a customer facing position. I came in alone with nobody in front or behind me. I ordered two meals. As my meals were being made by the woman in the back, both the order taker and cook were chatting away while my order was sitting pending. Groups of people started to arrive as my order took around 20 mins to finish being made. Over the course of 45 minutes, waiting for 1 fry, 1 Mac, and a sandwich, a full 9-10 orders were taken while my food sat on the kitchen desk waiting to be bagged and given to me. I hinted to the woman taking orders that my Mac might not be made correctly without spice in order to get her attention to my food. She inspected the Mac, said it was okay, then placed my food back on the waiting table. The whole order was ready. She knowingly had me wait longer than necessary, despite being equipped with the knowledge that I was there for a LONG time. I waited 45 mins and gave her an opportunity to bag my food and get me out of there. Again, when I ordered I was ALONE in the shop. The ridiculousness of this doesn't end there. The food is absolutely terrible. The fries taste gross and look/feel like cardboard. Picture attached. There is no redeeming quality of this place. If you want better hot chicken, angry chicks is up the street.

    Tried their #1 original combo and their Nashville tenders a la carte. Got Medium spiciness level for both. For me, the heat was perfect. It's spicy enough but not torturous. Chicken is still juice and seasoning is yummy too. The toasted bread is well-buttered and toasted. The fries are perfect thickness and crispiness. Service was great. Food came out in reasonable time and perfect temperature. Restaurant is clean and plenty parking outside.

    Original Motha Clucker Sandwich

    I'm all about finding a good tender place, so I was super excited to hear about this restaurant. I didn't realize I had passed this place many times without realizing it was even here. First off, love the vibe of the restaurant. While waiting for our food, we had a lot of fun playing shuffleboard. Feels like it would be a good place to come for dinner, grab a beer, and play the game. The chicken sandwich was delicious! The chicken was so juicy with the perfect spice level. Combined with the soft bread and tasty sauce, it was exactly what a chicken sandwich should be. Fries could use a bit more seasoning, but the seasoning is a great compliment to the fries. And they give you a boatload of fries! We also grabbed a chicken tender order, and we found the typical spice levels to be pretty accurate. The tenders are also surprisingly large, so a good amount of quality chicken for the money. Compared to the sandwich, even though it's good, I'd rather order just the tender meal - feels like a better bang for your buck. Overall, I was super pleased with the experience here and am happy to have found a new, good chicken tender place!

    Great comfort food option overall! The inside is small but decorated very well, which makes it inviting. I went in the middle of the day so the bar area and game section were not busy, but I think the atmosphere has potential later hours in the evening. The service was good! It is a fast casual type of spot, but the employee working at the time answered some questions I had and took time to talk to me while I was waiting. On that note, I think there was only one cook during lunch time. And it did take time for my food to come out, also assuming it is fresh and made to order.

    I rarely write reviews, but I was so impressed by this place that I had to! The concept is so…read moreunique, the food is delicious, and the customer service was some of the best I've experienced in a long time. I've found myself feeling disappointed with hospitality lately--it seems like genuine, friendly service has become harder to find--but that was absolutely not the case here. Everyone was incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive. I had the taco salad, and I'm not exaggerating when I say it was the best taco salad I've ever had. I also love the variety of food, all of the healthy options, and the fact that it's dog-friendly. Such a great experience all around. We will definitely be back!

    My family and I came to Neighborly, it being recommended to me and close by in the area. I know…read morethat they're known for their array of options and a wide variety of food to choose from. I was nervous, though, going into this, because it reminded me of the nearby Topanga Social with a similar concept. After less than a year, the Topanga Social is closing due to one of the reasons being that a ghost kitchen doesn't cater, and therefore, have the expertise, to one certain food type or style. Unfortunately, that's exactly what this ended up being. When we entered, it was an untraditional restaurant experience as you go to a tablet/ screen area and choose from one of the six or so "restaurants" that they have to choose from. In theory, this is super cool! However, certain foods are good because a lot of the times, the people making them worked on perfecting that dish for you and others. Additionally, when you don't have a hostess and/ or server, there's an extra level of relationship building with the customer that you now don't get. People can manage, but it's the customer service that sometimes can make or break a business. This restaurant used to be Social Monk, until they decided to add the five or so other, now essentially, ghost kitchens that all operate under that same old Social Monk roof. Once we paid and finished ordering on the screen, we sat down and waited for our food. The seating area was a bit cramped inside, but expanded to outside which was nice. Inside, they had little tubs of candy around the store for purchase. There's also a fountain and a gelato store nearby, which is great for families looking to make more of their day. The positives? The area is nice. The literal neighbors, like the gelato place next door, are great! The speed in which we got our food was good, too, as well as the variety of options of food that they have available. My food came as a bigger portion size than what I was expecting, so I could hypothetically get maybe two meals out of it. The negatives? The prices aren't the prettiest, like mine coming at $18 (but keep in mind the portioning.) Additionally, when we got our food, it truly was not good. My chicken and chow mein came together on a big plate, however the chicken was cooollllddddd. The noodles were okay and warm, actually, although the chicken had been cold. Bland. Not great. My sister got chicken tenders and fries in which were also incredibly bland and not worth eating even half of. I brought my food back to the counter area where they had registers not in use and asked a worker if I could get a refund. They got a manager, who asked if I wanted them to heat it up, but at that point, I felt so defeated and annoyed, especially for almost $20 worth of food and the last thing I wanted was for it to be heated up in a microwave. Maybe this wasn't their day? Westlake doesn't have much variety, so having options like this is nice and I can see why so many people find them appealing - it's just not good food. A lot of the older people who look like they love eating saltines and rice cakes come here and it's easy to see why. Unfortunately, my sister and I did not like their food due to it being cold, bland, and unseasoned, and we most likely won't be coming back.

There was nothing wrong with the burger itself--it was cooked well and prepared nicely. My only personal preference was that the barbecue sauce was a bit overpowering and masked the flavor of the bacon and beef. If you enjoy a stronger barbecue flavor, you may really like it, but I would have preferred a lighter touch. Overall, we had a very enjoyable visit thanks to the excellent service, refreshing drinks, and fresh food. We'd be happy to return.
