Decided to try this place out for lunch! It was really busy at 1 PM on a weekday and after trying the food, I totally understood why. I got the 5 shrimp and 1 fish fillet combo and it was fried very well. The fries were alright. I'd try another side next time. There was a bit of a wait since it's all made fresh to order. I'll have to try the chicken the next time I come here but you won't be disappointed by the shrimp or the fish! read more

This has been on my list of places to try for awhile and I'm SO glad I finally made it in today! I got the catfish filet with a leg and a thigh, with fries, as well as a leg and a thigh to go for my man to try at home! Per a few recommendations, I asked for extra cluck dust on everything, as well as the mild sauce on the side. I am SO glad I did!! Everything came out piping hot, and SO well seasoned!! Absolutely delicious. Not to mention the service was great. Everyone was super kind and attentive. This was a great experience and the perfect place to spend lunch on my day off! read more

The food was fresh, and absolutely delicious. Service was great and welcoming. 10/10

This food is good. Chicken and fish was fried to perfection. I THINK this is a black owned spot so I'm loving this even more. There is a lady and man that runs the front and back (I think they are the owners). They are very nice and patient. It was my first time and they give you FRESH chicken. Not that fast food stuff. read more

This has become my GO TO SPOT for lunch on Monday's. They have a 5 wings and fries Mon-Thurs special from 11-3p.m. for $5.99 or you can cash in on their Monday madness deal. $1.00 whole chicken wings!!! Did y'all hear what I said??? $1.00 buck will get you one WHOLE CHICKEN WING. If that isn't a lick I don't know what is. Man, I love this place I have referred so many friends and colleagues to give them a try. Yelpers make your way on over there, tell them Ronnie B from Yelp sent ya!!! You'll thank me later. read more

Aug 21, 2023 was our second time here, so, qualified to do a review! Let's start with: we ordered legs, thighs, fries, rings and coleslaw: best fried chicken EVER (sorry to Elsie, my long gone grandmother, who cooked great fried chicken); super friendly staff and owner; the restaurant is SPARKLING clean inside; fries, onion rings were great, BUT, the coleslaw is OUTSTANDING (we like coleslaw so I keep a record and a "score" whenever we get it, max 5 points...when we were here a couple years ago I rated it a 6; ditto this time!). Now, an esoteric quirk of mine...I hate waiting for the hot water in restaurants' bathrooms. In fact, after waiting 2 or 3 minutes, the hot water shows up tepid, or, never shows up, in quite a few places. Absolutely not the case here - instant hot (and, I mean hot!) water; and, the restroom was super clean! Pro Tip #1: arrive hungry but not starving. Here's what I mean: all of the food is cooked to order. So, when you order, they start cooking - for the pieces we ordered: about 15 - 20 minutes. That's not bad, but, when they bring it out to you, snappling and crackling, and smelling sooo good, you can't take a bite for another 10 - 15 minutes because it is so hot from the fresh cooking! Pure agony...suck it up, it's gonna be worth the wait! Pro Tip #2: If you like fried chicken, super friendly restaurant personnel, immaculately clean tables, chairs and floors; this review is not a recommendation, it is a MANDATORY! read more

Outstanding food and cheerful service!. Preiod. You know the food is good when people are willing to stand in line, in Texas-heat to for a meal like this. read more

My gf and I ordered 5 wings, 2 catfish, and a side order of fries. It was AMAZING! It came out piping hot and fresh. Their seasoning is not overpowering like some competitors. Their in house mild and hot sauces compliment the food so well. The catfish is actual catfish instead of talapia! We will definitely be back. read more

I wanted to support a Black Owned Business especially today, because it's Juneteenth! I looked at a few restaurants online in my area, and gravitated to this one. I ordered the fish and wings, fries, and coleslaw, and because they offer a Monday deal on wings, I ordered a second order of wings. I felt welcomed, and experienced great service, as well as, a clean, nice ambiance! Everything was seasoned perfectly, and tasted great! I will definitely be back to What's Cluckin in the near future! Thank you! read more

Did not disappoint...I called and no one answered; as soon as I hung up a very nice lady called me back (I like that) and asked if I would like to place an order. She had patience as she explained what the Chicago sauce is and proceeded to take my order. I wanted to sample a little of everything; however, I settled on a wing, catfish, fried livers, and mushrooms. I really wanted the gizzards but they were out All of the food was good. My least favorite were the mushrooms. Those livers, oh my, a MOAN ... were cooked to perfection for me. Just enough crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. My rating is probably a 4.5 ... I will definitely go back ... thank you #CoCoBOR read more

Told my family about this spot after my initial visit. Definitely look crazy after our experience today. First of all, we ordered a variety of items. We upgraded to combos only to be told that they were out of the potato tots on the menu. Husband selected the onion rings as a replacement. About 25 minutes after ordering, I was called to the register for the cashier to show me all of my order on the ground. She said 'it will be a bit cause I dropped your food, there it is ok n the ground". Ok, maybe I was irritated after traveling 3 hours and adding this pit stop to our schedule. Anyway we waited another 20 minutes for our redo order. The cashier brought me the gizzards that weren't dropped during our wait. Nice gesture but 2 of the 3 of us don't eat them. They were good. Not too tough and hot. They were seasoned perfectly. I also ordered the lemon pepper wings, husband the catfish and chicken combo, and our daughter ordered the tenders. As before, the food was great. Absolutely tasty. Rating should have been a 3 since there was no resolution offered for seopping our food and costing us another 30 minutes of time. I provided a 4 because of the friendliness of the gentleman who checked on our situation. read more

Everything was authentically Chicago, including the mild sauce. The service was awesome. I never mind waiting for hot delicious food. We had wings, pizza puff, and the buffalo wings.

I'm born and raised from the Chi. Lived there for over 25 years. I've had Harolds and Uncle Remus. What's Cluckin has brought these two fan favorite restaurants to Texas and I love y'all for it!!! Food, menu, sauce is FUEGO! (Fire). If you want some good ole souled filled Chicago styles fried chicken, What's Cluckin is the spot. Hands down! Y'all hit home with me! I only knocked one star off because one time I went, my 30 piece pan chicken wings had waaaaaay to much lemon pepper that I didn't ask for. So much so that my family and I couldn't eat it or eat round it due to it being too overpowering. Unfortunately we lived a little distance away, it was late, so we couldn't go back to exchange it. However, I'm a believer of 2nd chances, so we won't let that stop us from going back!! It is truly good food! Try What's Clucking! We had Wings, Pizza Puff, Fries, and Catfish Nugget before. read more

Always my go to spot for a taste of home (Chicago) owners and staff very friendly! Food is always got and fresh!

good fresh fried chicken every time. I just wish they had wings that we're not breaded!

Yum!!! We both love chicken liver & gizzards and not many places offer them, but found them here and we're not disappointed at all. My husband loves his fried chicken and self proclaims himself as a connoisseur. He loved the crispness, seasoning, and size. He immediately told Angie he'd be back. I enjoyed the catfish nuggets which were meaty, fresh, and not greasy. We had the hush puppies & fried okra. Again, both were prepared well with plenty of flavor and not greasy. We happen to come across this place on Yelp, not realizing they had just opened this month. The service makes you feel at home. The appearance is clean and comfortable. The food did not disappoint. We are visiting the area and will be back. Thank you Angie for a great experience. We wish you well read more

As a chef, sometimes I want to have some good back to our childhood roots food. Of course I could cook it, but I'm glad I didn't this time. While having a great outing with my best friend, we decided to head to Plano to check out a fried chicken spot (yes, I indulge in the fried food sometimes ) called Whats Cluckin. Upon entering, the gentleman greated us appropriately with a kind welcome and whats up. Took our order, upsaled by asking it we wanted sides and a drink. Told us it would be 15-20 minutes, which meant we were getting fresh chicken. The kind woman, who looked over her glasses (you know the food about to be good when you see that!) brought our food to the table and before asking gave us ket hup for the fries. The decor was African themed with a selection of jazz and RNB classics. We had the catfish, wings,2 piece dark, hushpuppies, and fries. They had this mild sauce that was on point. What's Cluckin did not disappoint! The fish and chicken were fried extra, not hard but extra with little to no grease residue in the bottom of the paper boat (with the classic white bread lined across the bottom). All the food was well executed, tasty with a special blend seasoning to add on top. Great atmosphere. Great food. Great service. You earned these 5 stars, my friend. As we departed, the gentleman asked, "What time will we see you tomorrow?" Classic old school departing greeting when you know you did well. Chef approved. read more

I try to be very understanding and precise before leaving reviews. I live in an area where good friend chicken lacks however I was craving some good fried chicken. I went on a google search which lead me to try this place. First off, I hate walking into establishments with people posted up at the register on phones. The lady ask how could she help me but when I started telling her she sends me to a guy... (rolls eyes). I explained to the cashier that it was my first time (thinking this would help with the quality. I spent 30.70! The lady brought the box out so of course I open it before leaving. The only time I've seen tater tots this color is when they were almost burnt. Chicken wings look like premature chicks (nothing like the picture). I had to rush back home, doctor this food up and it's still nasty. I miss Henderson Chicken so bad. I will never come back to this place. OVERPRICED!!! What chicken place doesn't have the chicken as a combo? Why were the taste tots additional to the 5 wings? Nope, never again.... Ughhh read more

The food here is fabulous Love the chicken and catfish. Ask.for the fries to be crispy as I think they can be cooked a little longer. read more

One cool tip: the chicken is fried to order, so when you receive the chicken, give it at least 7-10 minutes unless you wanna burn your tongue and deal with the pain for a week. But damn this was a pretty good fried chicken. I had the plate with fried chicken, fried catfish, and fried mushroom. Hubby got the fried chicken, fried gizzards, and french fries. Fried fried fried. The Cluckin seasoning was pretty good, which is a Chicago thing I was told. As mentioned before, the chicken is fried to order, so expect a wait. Another cool tip: $2 leg and thigh on Tuesdays and $1 wings on Wednesday! Phone in the order. Overall, this is a solid spot for fried chicken in the west side of Plano. Enjoy! read more

Great tasting freshly fried chicken & their mild sauce is just like back home in Chicago! Don't expect to get your food quickly, but that's because it's made to order. They also have pizza puffs when available which is another piece of home I don't find too often. I will only say I wans't a fan of their maxwell st polish when they had it on special, I don't think they carry it all the time anyway but stick to the chicken for sure- So good!! read more

I found this business on Yelp and going by the reviews, I decided to visit them. I was not disappointed. Flavor, flavor, flavor, was the theme at What's Cluckin!!

Another black owned hit in the Carrollton Plano area!!! The owners are from Chicago and the food taste just like it. I got a pizza puff and fries with mild sauce on it! The catfish was seasoned so perfect and it wasn't swai but REAL catfish. I can't wait to try the wings read more

My family tried this restaurant for the first time for Sunday lunch today, as my 80 yr old Louisiana mama was craving fried catfish. She has been in quarantine waaaay to long, so she gets what she wants!! The catfish was cooked to perfection. We also sampled fried mushrooms, chicken tenders, and fried (huge!) wings, and fried okra. The okra was cooked just the way southern folks like it. Y'all . . . everything was sooo good! I don't know what's in their batter, but oh, my it makes everything delicious. All the food was still VERY hot when we got home with it. They are most famous for their Chicago style fried chicken, so we will try that on our next visit. In addition to the excellent food, the owners are soooo sweet! They were struggling a little today. Like a lot of restaurants during this time, staffing is a challenge. Practice a little patience, and you will be rewarded with some of the best food around! If by chance you have a bit of a wait, do enjoy the beautiful artwork. Due to Covid-19, take out only at this time, so call ahead for your pick-up order. Enjoy!!! read more

Had lunch at What's Cluckin today and I'm very pleased with the experience. I was greeted very cordially upon entry, no line as I was probably their first lunch customer of the day. The dining room was very clean and comfortable, the art on the walls was modern along with some photos of what seemed like family events. I ordered a combo that included 1 piece of fried catfish and a leg and thigh all piled on top of a heaping mound of beautifully fried tater tots. The flavors were delicious! The catfish was served with a crispy outside and an extraordinarily tender fish on the inside. I learned that they cook everything to order so when the food got to the table it was hot and ready to go. The chicken was super juicy and had great flavor. The service and the food was excellent! I will definitely be back and I plan to recommend this place for whoever is looking for delicious fried chicken or fried catfish. Their menu expands beyond those two items but this was just my first visit. read more

Had a random craving for chicken tonight! I'm not far from the coop. Well the old Chicago's Chicken coop. Came to yelp to find out their hours. Realizing they had moved. I placed a call in order, 5 piece Lemon Pepper wing w/Okra! My order was ready in 10 minutes btw which made me happy. The lady at the front was very nice. It was 11:30 PM at that, and customer service was still top notch. Y'all....when I tell you my chicken and Okra was still piping hot when I got home. OMG the texture of the batter, the seasoning all amazing. Literally finger licking good. As a matter of fact, I'm going back tomorrow haha. Thank y'all sooo much for the awesome food & customer service. I have found my new chicken craving spot! read more

I hate to admit that I was not even a little bit impressed with this place. I gave it a try because the location and seeing people rant about this place in a Facebook group. It was about a 30-40 minute wait, service wasn't good, but not the worst and the food was mediocre. I ordered the wings(Buffalo) and okra. There was little sauce on wings and it was probably because the bread was literally soaked in buffalo sauce. I saved 2 wings for my sister to try and after a bite in one wing she didn't bother to have anymore. Th okra was decent but could've been seasoned better. Hopefully it was just a bad day that I went on. read more
