    Checked out MOTHERCLUCKER in Shawnee and those strips are BIG! Could barely finish one 1/2 of them. Fries were pretty good. Shakes were busy but good. Service was great and they have a nice outdoor area when nice. Easy to order and quality Nashville hot chicken!

    I'm a sucker for a good hot chicken sandwich and Mother Clucker delivers every time with a tasty (and large) sandwich, and piping hot fries to go with it. Honestly it just hits each time I get food from here. So why not a full five stars? I tend to think it's a bit pricey - the sandwich and the fries together will run you $16 before tax and tip, so to get a full chicken sandwich meal you're looking at closer to $19. I think last time I ordered from here I got two sandwiches and two orders of fries and it was around 40. Now, I get it, it's good, and it's local, and I don't mind paying it from time to time but the cost keeps me from keeping this in a more regular rotation.

    I've really been looking forward to trying this for a few months and finally got the time to do so today for lunch. We arrived around 1:45 pm and there were absolutely no tables to sit at because it was so packed. The set up is a little odd - There's screens for self order when you walk in - but it wasn't until later I realized you can also place your order at the front. First thing I noticed upon walking in was how HOT it was inside. The place is very cutely decorated, however it is small. We opted to sit outside on a nice warm day in August but clearly that didn't last long and managed to snag a table inside by someone waiting for their food at an empty table.... The sandwiches are huge, with an oddly amount of slaw - which I pulled off half. The chicken breast was nicely cooked and juicy - however with the amount of time it took to come out - it wasn't as fresh as I was hoping for. We split a large fry and each got a sandwich. I should have taken the fries back up to get new ones as they tasted like they had been sitting a while - and hubs made the comment that they were tough. Restaurant was dirty - as yes I understand it was busy - but there weren't enough workers to keep it in running order. The place cleared out by the time we were done - and no sight seen of someone to come out and push the chairs in and tidy up. We shared an epic milkshake - it was good. Not sure if we will be back but glad we tried it.

    TOP Chicken in KC...Mother Clucker! Mother Clucker is well-known in the KC area for its tasty chicken & different levels of heat/spice. You can find Mother Clucker inside of The Parlor KC or at the restaurant in Shawnee! Along with juicy meat served chicken tender style, this spot serves tasty crinkle fries, stacked sandwiches, & loaded shakes. You must order the signature sauce to dip your crinkle fries into! I ordered the Captain Crunch shake: vanilla shake loaded with whip cream, captain crunch pieces, powdered donuts, and more. I cannot wait to go back and order another shake. Add Mother Clucker to your Kansas City food bucket list today! This spot is convenient because there is plenty of space in the parking lot. The service was great and the restaurant was clean!

    Decided to give mother clucker a try after reading all the 4-5 star reviews. Being a chicken sandwich fanatic myself, I just couldn't help but let the curiosity get the best of me. That being said, the OG chicken sandwich at mother clucker wasn't quite my cup of tea. The spice was definitely there, but the slaw was just not right. Adding sour and tang to an already tangy sandwich just doesn't make sense to me. I suppose the pickled cabbage on pickled pickles with the tangy spicy sauce slathered on the fried chicken was just overkill. Personal preference I suppose.

    Happened to drive by and with such a catchy name, thought why not give it a try! The chicken tenders are jumbo and piping hot coming fresh out of the fryer. They, along with the fries are nicely seasoned. We opted for the 3 tender combo ($9 for the tenders, $4 to add small drink and fries) and a delicious gourmet dirty shake for $9. The food was great but a bit on the pricey side, however, 3 tenders fed 2 people which was nice. There's not much indoor seating but there's a large patio with seating outside. I do think the tenders should come with more than 1 dipping sauce. Any additional are 50 cents and with 3 jumbo tenders, 1 just doesn't cut it.

    3 piece OG tenders with spicy honey dipping sauce, ketchup and ranch. All three were good. And fries.

    I came here on a recommendation of another yelped. They have different levels of spicy. I got the OG tenders and fries. I have never in my 42 years had a tender burst with so many well combined spices. OG wasn't spicy. The mild had a little bite and there is a medium - we didn't get that but the one with the most heat, it but you back. Even with the spicy seasoning, every piece still had that OG flavoring. And l don't let me get started on the fries, Kringle cut, crispy but not too crispy. Just perfect. You self order at a kiosk and the employees fill the orders. They are friendly and available to help with anything. Establishment is a little small, no drive through but quaint and cut and not over stimulating. They seem to get steady business but I haven't really seen them over busy.

    I enjoyed the flavorful Nashville hot chicken and the fast service at this new spot on opening day. The Nashville hot chicken was fried in seasoned oil and then dusted with spices. My order was ready just five minutes after I ordered at one of the two kiosks. The tender ($4.50) was nice and large with a thin, flavorful, somewhat crunchy coating and moist, premium, perfectly cooked white meat. Six heat levels were available. The "kicking it up" level I selected had a nice (but not overwhelming) amount of lingering heat - nice! The tender was served Nashville style with pickle slices and a slice of white bread. I also liked the flavorful crinkle cut fries ($3.00) and the vinegar-based slaw ($3.00). The dining area was clean and new with country oldies background music (not too loud) and one TV (off). I also noticed a patio out front. Overall, pretty good!

    I love Mother Clucker but I especially love that I no longer need to go inside Parlor to get it. I decided to check out the new Shawnee digs. I liked that you can order from a person or from a kiosk. The service was quick and friendly. I got the three tenders and fries. You get to choose your spice level. I normally go pretty hot but I decided to go mild this time. It was still plenty spicy and still delicious. They have crinkle cut fries that you can't go wrong with. We also got the comeback sandwich but asked for the slaw on the side. The slaw didn't make it into our Togo bag but my boyfriend said he actually preferred the sandwich without the slaw so crisis averted. They don't skimp on the extra pickles. I'm a fan of this location and I'll definitely be back.

    Gotta admit, this is a great Nashville hot Chicken Sandwich. Just as great as the original location at Parlor. I got the chicken sandwich and guess what the very first thoughts in my head were? IS THIS A PORK TENDERLOIN? Lol. No, it's chicken. The fries are excellent with the seasoning and the ranch dressing in's as great too. The cluck sauce is different, a bit too red cider vinegary for my tastes. The chicken tenders are huge too. My friend got the salad and loved it. Now, the shakes!!!!!!!! Lord have mercy how good the shakes are! That's right, splurge a little. Yeah, no pics, we were hungry and just dived in.

    I've been coming to mother Clucker since they opened their flag ship store inside parlor. Their chicken is always cooked perfectly and adds a kick with their tasty seasoning. I am a big fan of their hot honey mixed with their cluck sauce when I go there. Today was a special occasion because they had their collaboration with Mr. D's donuts and their chicken. Absolutely amazing and so flavorful. Left me in a food coma on my couch!

    I found the hot chicken in KC! Six different heat levels to please everyone's taste buds. I tried the Comeback Hot Chicken sandwich. Flavor of heat was great, juicy chicken and served with crinkle cut crisp fries. So good! The milkshake was amazing. Loved how it looked and it tasted even better. Everyone working there was super friendly and helpful. They have a great seating area and even an outdoor patio.

    Finally got the chance to check out the location in Shawnee, Kansas. I have only had their parlor location prior today I went a little after the lunch hour service was super friendly and fast. You have the option to order at the counter or through a kiosk. You can also order pick up and get it curbside. I ordered at the counter where I got jumbo tenders, a sandwich, and a Cap'n Crunch shake. There are a number of seating options inside as well as outside on the patio area. On the patio, they have TVs and a fire pit as well as heaters for chillier times. When I received my food, everything was hot and fresh. Everything was so flavorful and delicious. I got my shake and everyone Around me, was so impressed with the size of it from the tenders, to the sandwich, to the shake, everything was amazing. They have great seasoned fries, as well as a number of sauces to choose from. You can choose the heat amount you want from not spicy too very spicy. Parking is easy to access. I cannot recommend this place more, it is one of my favorite places in Kansas City.

There's 4 street parking stalls out front on Johnson Dr. The inside is clean & AC was nice on hot days. The girl behind the counter was nice & gave us samples of the gelato that we were curious about. Wifey selected a med cup of dark chocolate and strawberry. I got the med cup with pistachio and coconut. We watched the girl making our cups and noticed she gave more of one flavor than the other in each of our cups. I was a lil disappointed about that. It ended up being 2/3 dark chocolate and 1/3 strawberry in wifey's cup. There was 2/3 pistachio and 1/3 coconut in mine. I like even amounts if you're gonna have a cup with 2 flavors. Lil bit of one flavor mixed with the second flavor. I ended up with a bit more pistachio than I expected. Wifey definitely had more dark chocolate than strawberry. I think next time we'll ask if they can scoop closer to even amounts of each. Although the total amount of gelato was more than worth the cost. We did sit inside since outside was pretty hot and almost no breeze. The place had 3 tables. One had seating for 4 and the other 2 had seating for 2 each. When we entered one of the 2 seater tables had 2 ladies that were jus sitting there with drinks and talking and laughing really loudly. It was echoing in the small room. Other than that it was nice in that cozy lil shop. We liked how the girl behind the counter was patient and welcomed us when we told her it was our first time there. I wanna try some other combos next time. This place reminds me of the lil gelato place we liked back home in Hawaii. A Hui Hou!

There…read morewere several coffee shops around but having been to another Golden Scoop I knew this is where I wanted to warm up and enjoy the energy while waiting. Being good still I didn't sample the ice cream. I was super boring with my order of black coffee. Hey it's nearly Feb and I'm still no sugar no junk!! That's a win in itself. Enough about me. This place or the other Golden Scoop not only serves up gold in a cup it feeds your sole. In our current state of humanity all around all that drama ends at this door. I LOVE THAT!!! Super blessed to have this opportunity to be served with great enthusiasm and passion in every encounter here. Im not sure it's an every Saturday thing but live music by Anna Ray was my cherry on top of my Saturday.... I was a day off of a great pun. She played her keyboard while I enjoyed my book and coffee. I got to stay to see her reward of hot cocoa. It was very well earned and glad to see her tip jar appearing full. She played several easily recognizable hits and classics. Her parents gave me a flyer and okay it being online so check her out!!! Let's go yelpers we can get her followers up a few notches! @annaraymusic Instagram. Thanks to Golden Scoop for another awesome experience.

Each time I have been to the Golden Scoop, I have gotten top-notch service with a smile and pride in their product, but mostly, the eagerness in just being on the team. The staff scoops ice cream and serves coffee drinks with the happiest of faces. They are the absolute best! Yeah, yeah, what about the ice cream? Artisanal flavors made on site, ranging from the mundane (think mint chocolate chip - good but yawn) to the creative. I am a sucker for the Salted Caramel Crunch, a subtle blend of caramel without the syrupy ribbon having to run through it. This past visit had my lovely wife getting a large scoop of what was titled 'Home Run', which was described as being 'very peanut buttery'. And they weren't kidding: vanilla with chunks of Snickers and Butterfinger made for a heavenly flavor combo. Love the creativity and execution of that product Neither one of our scoops had a long life span as we gobbled/slurped them down quick-quick. There is plenty of room in their dining area for you to enjoy your ice cream or coffee as well as a couple of picnic-style tables right out front (with umbrellas). Parking is super easy, and there's even a drive-through, which is a nice touch. The ice cream is great, the space is great, and Golden Scoop's proud staff makes this spot a must destination.
