Cluck Kitchen

Their Nashville hot chicken sandwich is comparable to Dave's hot chicken... dare I say perhaps even better. Their slaw is so frickin' good, literally the best slaw I've ever had and I'm not even the biggest fan of slaw. I was about to get it on the side but I'm so glad I left it on the sandwich because the vinegar taste complimented the fried chicken so well. The fried chicken texture reminds me of Korean fried chicken where the outside is very crispy but the inside meat was soft and tender. The only con to this place is that it's rather on the pricey side but honestly... if I'm craving a fried chicken sandwich, I would definitely come back (bye bye Dave's).

I gave this place a high 4/5 review in 2021 and asked them please please not to drop their quality.Finally they manage to do exactly what I was worried about. This place is gone down so bad that I am being generous with 1 stars.THEIR SERVICE IS NON EXISTENT, DISGUSTING AND UTTER S.H...T Today Sunday 1/5/2025 I went there again at 6:20 PM. I ordered 2 Chicken Sandwiches and 2 Fries to take out. It came to $41.57 including the tip.I WAS THE ONLY CUSTOMER WAITING FOR MY FOOD. THERE WAS NO ORDER BEFORE OR AFTER ME.There were 2 persons (cooks) at the back and 2 cashires at the front. 4 Staff X 1 CustomerIt took them 30 minutes to cook my chicken sandwiches. Then girl at the front told me that we are waiting for my fries.It took them an additional 12 minutes to cook 1 and some portion for fries. By which the sandwiches were cold.From the look on the cook's face it was obvious that he did not bother to check that he put enough for 2 fries so he just squeezed the packets and stretched the fries to 2.I KNOW THESE TRICKS BECAUSE I HAVE WORKED AND RAN RESTAURANTS AND TAKE OUTS IN THE PAST.By that time I was so annoyed that I just wanted to get the F.... out of this stupid place.This is DISGUSTING SERVICE. IT IS HORRIBLE. DISRESPECTFUL TO CUSTOMERS. 4 LAZY STAFF THAT DO NOT GIVE A S.....T THAT A CUSTOMERS IS WAITING FOR 40 MINUTES? and just talk among themselves?They have the AUDACITY to ask for tip when you place the order. TIP for what ? 40 stupid minute wait for 2 chicken sandwich and 2 fries? for $41?I WISH I COULD ASK FOR MY TIP BACK. HERE IS A TIP. DO EVERYTHING WITH PRIDE AND BEST OF YOUR ABILITY. IF YOU ARE TOO LAZY AND DON'T WANT TO DO THE WORK GO AND GET SOME OTHER JOB INSTEAD OF TAKING IT OUT ON THE CUSTOMERS.To the management of this place. TELL YOUR STAFF TO SERVE THE WAITING CUSTOMERS THEN DO NOTHING. You are not a Michelin Star restaurant to make people wait for 40 minutes for 2 stupid orders. If your staff can not be bothered to look after the customers I am sure they are not going to bother to keep the place clean or wash their hands after the restrooms either.Are the owners or managers of this place are deliberately trying to put it out of business? Don't you guys know CUSTOMERS WILL VOTE WITH THEIR FEET?With your prices and this level of service I AM NOT EVER GOING TO THIS HORRIBLE PLACE AGAIN.You guys are typical of so many places that started so well, but once they made the name for themselves they dropped the standards.You know what happens to those places? They will end up going out of business because people will talk and they will walk away.You lost me as a customer. Good luck staying in business with the staff you have picked.

FAT AND HUGE NASHVILLE HOT CHICKEN SANDWICH. I wish I had a video or even a picture of my face seeing that sandwich. Jaw dropped at how massive this sandwich AND THE CHICKEN ITSELF was. I was so excited to shove it in my mouth. Crispy, flavorful, and overall well balanced ugh yes yes and yes. Freshly made because it was still hot and perfectly crispy. Not too thick of a batter and such a light easy bite. So I messed up and got extra hot spice level when I should've ordered the get clucked because the heat was light. Service was amazinggg. She was so friendly I loved her energy and so welcoming. I also ordered the beignets and I sadly was not a fan. I'm used to a light airy pillowy fluffed up rectangles of dough but this was one whole piece and chewy. I would work on that and maybe improve the slaw for more of a punch.

Now they offer a Chicken Tenders meal that includes fries but no drink. It also only comes with 2 pieces. I need to pay extra to get a 3rd piece so I'm satisfied. I like getting the Comeback Sauce (spicy aioli) and the Ranch sauce. They give you about 4 packs of ketchup but I need 8 packs for my fries.

One of my favorites for Nashville hot chicken! The chicken tender pieces are big, crispy and the chicken is juicy. The spice levels are good and spicy but bearable for me. The ranch is my favorite dipping sauce here and goes well with the chicken. Customer service was good, attentive even when busy and all works were kind. Place is small but it was clean and plenty to eat inside or outside. Can't wait to come back and try the hottest level!

I was in the area hanging with some friends at the comic shop and decided to check this place out! I walk in and no line and browsed the menu.The girls upfront helping me were really nice and helpful as I placed my order for a chicken sandwich combo. The order took about 5 minutes to come out and decided to eat outside around the plaza. The plaza itself and the restaurant are pretty spacious with plenty of seating. I open the box and wow that's a big chicken sandwich along with some really delicious looking waffle fries. Now how did everything taste? Delicious! The chicken sandwich itself was crispy. Came with lettuce and some sauce but every bite was juicy. The sandwich itself is pretty big too. The fries were awesome! I opted to order a side of ranch and the ranch provided paired really well with the fries. I would argue it's a must order to get the ranch here! Absolutely delicious! I paid around $17 for the whole meal and I think you get a good values worth for what you pay for. The chicken sandwich is amazing, the ranch is delicious and the fries are savory. I hear it gets busy here during lunch hour but honestly, there was no one really around at the plaza so I'm sure you can order what you want in no time! Would highly recommend this place to get your chicken fix!

I ordered a mild nashville hot, mainly for the slaw, and there was barely any in my sandwich LOLL. The chicken itself was pretty good, really good size and not spicy at all so I could've done 1-2 levels higher and been at a comfortable level I feelObjectively, good sandwich but nothing special, and I feel like it's outrageously expensive for a chicken sandwich Pretty slow service and for the price, I wouldn't come back

Solid chicken sandwich place! These are one of those sandwiches that are too big to fit in your mouth LOL.

As visitors to Irvine we always appreciate tips on places to eat from hotel staff. As we exited the hotel the driver who usually does airport transport asked us where we were going and we had mentioned the convenient cafe across the street. He suggested another place with the best chicken sandwiches for a better price and because he was free drove us to Cluck Kitchen a few blocks away! He suggested the Nashville Hot and described how we could have the staff adjust the spice. This gentleman was en pointe. The Nashville hot was exceptionally moist and fresh with the combination of ingredients on a fresh brioche bun making the sandwich an exeptional stand out. This was not the average KFC! It was delicious! The atmosphere was clean and there were a few tables inside but ample tables available outside. The service was surprisingly a tad slow for the number of guests but the Nashville Hot was worth it!

Enjoy the food everything is delicious Customer service is great clean and neat. Definitely recommend.
