My wife is a fried chicken fan, so we she read about What's Cluckin in the DMN we had to check them out. Wow we were pleasantly surprise that the review matched our opinion too. The measure of a good restaurant is would we go back and the answer is Yes for the reasons listed below; 1. The best fried chicken we have had in years. 2. The price is right and maybe "under" price compared to their competition. 3. The owners attitude for good customer service. This is not a quick serve place. All the food is cooked to order so be prepared to wait your 20 minutes. Be sure to order a few items that are not listed on the display board like the cold slaw and onion rings. We did not try the variety of sauces they offer cause we like our chicken plain. We ate inside because they have a few tables available but next time we will call ahead and get it to go. read more

Ordered the 5 piece shrimp and catfish fillet along with large fries. Shrimp and cat fish were cooked perfectly! Both were crispy and pretty good sized. Good flavor with their Cluckin spice on both. The fries are thin cut but could've been cooked just a bit longer. They were still pretty good though. Service was good and didn't have to wait long for the order. read more

Worst experience ever since they went to this new thing. I did not get what I ordered and what I did get was dry and the toughest chicken tenders I've ever seen which was not what I ordered. I will never go or order from them again. read more

Love that chicken! Angie and Chris are amazing! Chicago style fried chicken that can not be beat!!!

So glad this spot is open again. We have missed it a lot and cannot wait to stop by and get some chicken.

Today I tried the catfish as it had been a while and I love to support a small business. The taste is on point! Me be a lover of fried fish this place will definitely have your taste buds dancing. Try them out! read more

This was, by far, the best experience I had during my trip to Dallas. We went on a Saturday afternoon and ordered the special. 24 wings and a large fry for $29.99. The cashier was super nice! We also ordered a red velvet cake cup. He took our order and we sat and waited for about 10min and our food came out hot and fresh. This chicken reminds me of Chick A Sea from back home in Bad Newz! So good. I'm not a fan of the mild sauce, but I'm not a Chicago native either. Texas Pete hit on these wings just fine! The fries were good! The cake was good, but the layers are so thick, it needs more icing (respectfully). It wasn't super sweet. It was perfect. Just needs more icing ! I'm so glad I don't live here because this would be a daily visit for me. This chicken is good, y'all! read more

This was half of a large chicken liver. I had already eaten half of it. Delicious and cooked just right. The only thing that would have made it better was mashed potatoes and either brown or white gravy. Next time I will get them to go and have gravy and mashed waiting for them at home. read more

What's Cluckin is were it is at if you want some southern fried chicken. Call ahead and pick it up hot. This stuff is some of the greatest fried yardbird I've ever eaten. You can eat it in and it's always clean with TV's that are playing sports. I have eaten it all and cannot find anything that is not southern good. When I was growing up in GA, on Fridays I would go with my dad to get fried chicken at Church's. We would walk up to the window and we would sit around and wait. This place brings back those memories. The food you order comes packed in brown bags so that when you unpack it like a true southerner. #1 spot for Fried Chicken, Hands down!!! On Park across from Cowboy Chicken. Support this amazing spot!!! read more

Hands down, without a doubt my favorite restaurant! I have been a loyal customer now for many years, as far back as when they were at a different address when it was called Chicago Chicken Coup. From the moment you walk in the door you feel welcomed and for me personally, I now feel like family! I'm even called "fam" or "cousin"! The owners are simply the best! They always check on customers to make sure they have everything they need and ensure that the food is of the highest quality. I drive 25min just to come here to eat because the food is that incredible. I've tried a myriad of things on the menu, and if I had to recommend anything, the tenders with mild sauce is where it's at! Trust me, you won't regret it! In addition, go for the breaded okra. It's the best okra I've ever had. If you're looking for a peaceful distraction, as a guy I enjoy the programming on the TVs. It's usually tuned in to some sporting event which I enjoy. I've also heard some peaceful music which is a nice touch. I truly can't say enough great things about What's Cluckin. I am without a doubt going to remain a lifelong customer. read more

We are from out of town and, it's our first time trying their dishes! Me personally, I ordered two catfishes, some fries and, that buffalo sauce! Whomever was back there in the kitchen, they for sure "put their foot in this" it's a culture thing. Yo they catfish with that buffalo sauce.. IS BUSsinI would like to say than you guys for reminding me of home(the country-style cooking)... shoot, I'm still smacking over here! Feb.19, 2023 @7:02pm. The employees are down to earth! When I come back in July, I'm definitely going back for some more! read more

I love that this place is a small business, owned by a local family. They have photos of (I presume) their ancestors for the 50s, and the most beautiful art on their walls. The owner and his nephew are incredibly kind. And the food!! *chef kiss* The moment i bit into the crispy skin, I was in heaven. The fries were also delicious. 20/10. read more

I was excited to learn that this was a black owned establishment. Until I picked up my to go order. As the picture shows, the batter was extremely old and the hush puppies were not cooked. I wasted $18.00 for very old food. read more

I'M DUCKIN ON "CLUCKIN"! Had some day laborers over to the house and they wanted fried chicken, so instead of going to a big box place I decided to support a locally owned establishment. For what was received, the prices were rather high at $7 for the two piece white (yes, just a breast and wing). Plus, add $1 for each side you order. The breasts we received were small and, well, mine at least was rather dry. Don't think you're going to be able to grab and go here, our order took over 20 minutes, and I was the one of only two customers in there at lunch time on a Saturday. And maybe it was the grease or cleaner they use (or don't use), but my feet stuck to the floor. My recommendation, stay with Popeye's or Churches or even KFC for a better product for a better price. Or just go down the street for amazing chicken and something truly tender, juicy, flavorful and delicious at Hot Chicks! read more

Ordered from here twice and the food has been really good! Never been inside because I got the food delivered.

I was craving come Chicago style chicken with mild sauce. This was not a disappointment at all. I got it delivered so that my fault on the crunch. But the flavor, the sauce 10/10. I'll be ordering again for sure. read more

Amazing food and amazing service!! The owners are pretty friendly. We typically get the 4 piece and tenders, they always come out hot and fresh! We lived in Chicago for the past 8 years and this comes close to the fried chicken places we have been to there. Excellent! read more

Why have the open sign on, say you are open online, hours on door say yours open but when I try to go in it's closed. I guess I will just have to find another spot to support. Bummer because I really wanted to try this chicken, drove from waxahachie to try it and it was closed. read more

Ordered lemon pepper flat wings very OVERLY SEASONED. Chicken tasted masked in season. Had a nasty smell. As a child growing up in Chicago. I've tasted enough spoiled chicken. That I know when chicken is spoiled. I WILL NEVER eat here again. I had every intentions of bringing it back. Wife didn't want it kept in the house. Very Disappointed!!!! read more

I tried this place for the very first time on 2.17.24. It was the freshest chicken I've had in years. I did get there as soon as they opened but man was the chicken and catfish good. I didn't experience any grease taste. read more

I'm not sure how I ran up on this spot but so glad I did. In all honesty the wait was a bit ridiculous considering I called my order in; however, that just meant that my food was piping hot. The chicken was so crisp and flavorful. The dipping sauces are clearly homemade. read more

My barber recommended this place so my family and I decided to try it while in the area. It was just ok. Nothing special. The chicken was basic, the gizzards didn't have flavor (although they were tender), and all of the side options are fried. I like the idea of having a non fried side option if I'm indulging in fried chicken. But that's just me. Customer service and location are good. read more

Great local spot with tasty food and amazing service, also amazing decor/art to really set the vibe and ambiance of the restaurant. 10/10 across the board, would absolutely recommend this spot! read more

I live on the other side of Plano, but I wanted to give them a try. The mostly specialize in fried chicken of various types, but they also have fried catfish. Since "Clucking" is in their name, I went with chicken. :-D I had the 4-piece dark with fried okra. I got my food to go because, you know, pandemic, and it was a good 20 minutes back home before I could eat, but in spite of that the food was still good. I liked the chicken, but the real surprise was the hot sauce. I love salsa, but I usually don't care for the usual vinegary-shake-it-from-a-bottle hot sauces. What they gave me was not that. It was tasty and tangy, almost more like a cousin to barbecue sauce. I don't usually put sauce on fried chicken, but this genuinely made it better. Pleasant surprise! The fried okra was good. The serving was larger than I expected. I liked that they double- wrapped. Each item was in its own bag and then they were placed in a carrying bag. This helped them hold their heat and moisture on the long trip home. Service was great and they have a good set up to allow for social distancing while ordering and waiting. One interesting thing is that they have a lot of great art hanging on the walls, worth taking a minute to check them out. They have some paintings that are easily ten-feet tall. Definitely worth checking out! read more

This is one of my splurge spots when I'm craving g fried foods. The chicken is great! I miss Harold's Chicken in Chicago, but this definitely makes up for it. The fries are less than desirable, but not a deal breaker. They have daily specials and the service is excellent. The team always welcomes you with a warm and friendly greeting. read more

While the chicken is tasty and perfectly crispy. The line is long and the service is hit or miss. Some people at this establishment act as if they are doing you a favor by opening up and providing food that you pay for. Others are really sweet and helpful and seem like they love their job. I hope that with time the service will be more consistent and welcoming. Also, the hours are not consistent. Please call because they may have closed early or stop serving for x amount of hours. Would I go back Yes. However, I will wait until the kinks are worked out. read more

Covid-19 local heroes- Ladybird and Chris!!! I love being able to support them and continue to love them!!! Great food and fantastic service! They were serving us food with Covid-19 precautions and with LOVE. We called our order in and picked it up. It was hot and ready! Plexiglass shield at the register and contactless handling. Easy peasy! We had a 12 piece mixed chicken with 2 extra breasts, 12 lemon pepper wings, Small gizzards, hush puppies, and tater tots!!! It was great to see them both! Working hard as usual, but taking time to catch up with us. We went home and enjoyed our hot and delicious food!!! We ordered extra, because we want to enjoy it for the next few days. When I get a craving, this is what's up!!! Every bite's flavor was on point and crunchtastic !!! They are closed on Mondays for a well deserved rest!! They are both bright Souls and as sweet as Georgia peaches :) Ok folks!!! Did I ever tell you that I looove lemon pepper wings!!! But I am so judgmental when it comes to fried chicken! Well you already know that I love this venue and it's succulent fried chicken that has been brined to produce the most delicious moist meat! I was craving lemon pepper wings and I was not about to go home and cook it because I was so hungry and only cooking for one today!!! What's Cluckin'? came to my rescue!! I was desperate and cried of my woes to Angela "Lady Bird". I asked her to fix me up some lemon pepper wings but more dry than wet, because I love the crunchy perfection that their chicken has... she made whole wings with lemon pepper seasoning and a tiny container of the lemon pepper wing sauce that their party wings are usually tossed in. I have found my a new LOVE here at What's Cluckin'? ! Crispy, crunchy, yet juicy and steamy! I literally sucked the bones dry! And a generous portion of their shoe string style french fries!!! So much good crunch! And Christopher brought me some of the wing sauce!!! WOOOOW !!! Winner winner chicken dinner!!! Love makes this food taste delicious!!! Thank you, Lady Bird, Christopher, and crew!!! Love you :) read more

The catfish was seasoned nicely but they were thin and waaaaaay overcooked. You can tell these were the frozen filets because they were all the same exact size and THIN. With that being said, my biggest issue is that this place is super expensive. $13 for 3 pieces of frozen store bought catfish not including a side? Lol okay! Asked for mild sauce and they gave me ketchup (or maybe that was their take on mild sauce). The place was clean but the floors were extremely sticky. Would I go back, probably not. read more

Hello Linda's After receiving the listing for awesome restaurants in the DFW area I decided to give this place a try. I was excited because it's in the North and a lot of these restaurants are in south Dallas. I had questions about how the chicken was prepared. About 2 weeks ago I went to a new to me restaurant and ordered salt & pepper wings and there were jalapenos all over the chicken. I didn't want this nor did I know that's how they were prepared. Needless to say Linda's I learned my lesson and I decided to ask how their wings were prepared. The lady working the register gave me a funny look when I asked & seemed a little insulted. This is the part where I have to insert that the music was so loud in the back that she couldn't hear me asking my questions That last part is important because when what I believed was my order came up for me to grab. It turned out not to be my order. They were mad rude because I couldn't hear them. Let me just say that part was a huge turn off due to the comments being made about me by the staff. I love wonderful customer service but I was truly taken back by the unprofessionalism I got over myself and took that L from them in that area. The saving grace in this experience was the food. The mushrooms were excellent and my fish was good even though it could've been fried harder. The only food item that wasn't amazing was the chicken. It wasn't bad, but wasn't as good as the rest of my food. Give the food a try as it's worth the stars that I'm giving it. Hopefully the customer service will be better on your visit. Everyone has an off day so I won't totally rule out giving this place another shot. read more

I wanted to love it but it was not appeasing for me. The wings were decent but my disappointment came from the fried fish. I thought I was getting catfish but that wasn't catfish. It looked and taste like cod. I took one bite and that was it for me. Maybe if I ate there while the food was fresh it would've been better instead of taking it home so I'll give an extra star for that. read more

Can we say "fye"!!. I'm originally from Chicago & I've been craving a wing dinner fried well with salt, pepper, and mild sauce.

Good food, good customer service. I eat here everyday at lunch time. The restaurant is very clean and I love the theme.

Ordered 5 wings and 2 white meat to go. It took 17 minutes. All of the Chicken was a little overdone and I ordered two white meat and only got one. Wings were ok but not great. After I ordered they came and said they were out of okra. I said onion rings would be ok instead but then they gave me tots. Didn't notice until I got home. Staff was super nice. read more

This new joint, originally started in Chicago, is bringing some serious chicken to town! Think better than Rudy's, Henderson's, Halls and Chief Papa Bears. Owners, The Raybon's, have had a chicken business in Chicago for 6 years. And now they are slangin' some of the meanest chicken I've had here in Plano! With a simple batter, they're taking catfish, shrimp, chicken (every piece) and tilapia to fried paradise! You can even order a pizza pocket, killer hushpuppies and a Chicago vibe, mild sauce, to the next level. Flavored wings are an easy pick if you love lemon pepper or the classic buffalo sauce. Not to mention, cluck dust, which is a seasoning blend that'll take your fried chicken to a whole 'nother level. When I'm in, I always order a 2 piece wing with a catfish filet. Comes with fries and a piece of bread. From flavor to customer service, you'll find everything you want and need at What's Cluckin?! read more

Man we must have been the unluckiest customers ever based on the other reviews. First of all we ordered online from their website. We git there when they told us and still had to wait 20 minutes inside! When we finally got home the hush puppies were burng and the chicken legs were uncooked. My kids refused to eat the chicken. read more
