We got sandwiches to-go and went and ate with friends at Little Miss Brewing down the street. Service was great. Prepared right after our order and done quickly. We enjoyed sitting outside while we waited. Sandwiches were sooo good. I had the basic chicken sandwich which was the perfect balance of everything: textures, spices, fat, protein, salt and sweet. I tried the spicy chicken which was excellent but a bit too spicy for me. Only thing that would have made this perfect for me would have been a side of coleslaw or fries / onion rings. We will definitely be back.

The former Bowl Bar suite in the Adams Plaza of Normal Heights is now a new chicken shop called Young Cluck which debuted this week. The seating was limited to three two-top tables both inside and outside along with four stools at a countertop. The on-site parking was terrible with maybe ten spaces split between the five plaza businesses. Instead of the traditional choices of tenders and sandwiches, the kitchen produced a fusion of different cuisines. For example, there was the Southern classic of chicken & waffles, yet also a chicken banh mi sandwich.The current menu had four breakfast selections served between 7 am and 2 pm along with four lunch/dinner items available from 11 am to close. Dark Horse coffee, chips, and drinks rounded out the board. Eventually, a weekly special will also be offered. I picked the Popcorn Fried Chicken Bowl which contained pieces of battered and fried chicken served over sesame garlic fried rice. Yuzu shoyu sauce, pickled radish, and chiffonade shizo were the other toppings.You certainly won't find such a combination of ingredients in a chicken bowl from a non-Asian eatery. The pickled radish did wonders to provide acidity to cut through the batter on the chicken. The serving size could have been a little more to make the $14 price tag a better value. It will be interesting to see how the menu changes over time as these initial offerings were quite an eclectic bunch.

Super excited to have a new casual food place so close to my home. I decided to order 3 breakfast items to try a variety for take out. Person I spoke with was pleasant on the phone and super nice in person. When I walked there the inside was bright and open space so even with the tables inside a small space it didn't seem cramped. I ordered the chicken and waffles, breakfast sandwich and the southern grits. Loved the chicken and waffles; chicken tenders had a nice crunch and the waffle was fluffy. The breakfast sandwich was delicious for $7 dollars. The grits weren't my cup of tea I really like the cheese incorporated into the grits and the cheese was on top. To be fair I am obsessed with another restaurant's version so i always compare to the ones I love. Also got a cold brew and it was nice and strong. Definitely coming back to try the chicken sandwiches for dinner since the chicken breading was delicious.

Out and about and hungry. Haha. Tried a new spot in Normal Heights, Young Cluck. We shared the "Our Chicken & Waffles".Malt powder and pretzels mixed into this fluffy waffle, served under maple brined fried chicken. Served with caramel and maple sauce. $12It was very hot, freshly made and a great treat.

The staff was very friendly. A quaint place with a not overwhelming menu. We stopped in for a quick breakfast date. We ordered the grits bowl and chicken and pretzel waffle. The grits could have been a little more seasoned for us. I loved the batter/crust of the chicken strips. The pretzel waffles were perfect.

Far exceeded my expectations! All I can say is that I wish I had eaten here sooner. Fairly new to San Diego, this spot is a fried chicken gem. Definitely some of the best chicken and waffles I have ever had. I loved their spicy chicken sandwich and their bahn mi was so good. Loved everything! This is about to be my new go-to spot.

Young Cluck's southern fried chicken sandwich is a winner. Crispy, juicy chicken pairs harmoniously with it's herb mayo and pickles, all nestled in a soft brioche bun. A flavor explosion that's authentically Southern.

I really wanted to love this place! I was so stoked to hear this place was opening up down the street . I gave the bahn mi a shot cause it's so damn hot out and it was somewhat of a let down. The bread wasn't fresh, it was a bit stale. Fresh bread is a huge part of what makes a good bahn mi or any sandwich. Pros: their chicken was tender and their pickling flavor was on point. The ratio of pickled veggies and herbs was off for me. Wish there was more. The owner and workers were very nice and welcoming though. I still want to try other things on the menu, so I'll be back. I've been eyeing their fried chicken sandwiches for a while now.

Finally a little piece of home in SD. The bacon egg and cheese at this place is legit minus that it's not on an everything bagel with salt pepper and ketchup. None the less I will absolutely take it. One of the biggest challenges I've had since leaving in NY is finding a damn good breakfast sandwich. FINALLY I have found one. You are doing yourself a disservice if you don't eat the BEC sandwich here. Also tried the spicy chicken sandwich and banh mi- weren't for me. There are still many more things to try on the menu. Still a five star rating because i am ECSTATIC about the BEC. Run don't walk here.

Stopped in on opening day to get a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich, and was thrilled!Our sweet lil neighborhood doesn't have many early-opening, grab and go breakfast options, so I've spent years getting up with my very-early-riser daughter, walking to the park or playground, and grabbing Starbucks on the way, because it was all that open. Now we can change the game, and keep it local! The Young Cluck's breakfast sandos were so good, and they serve Dark Horse coffee (iced or hot), so basically the perfect start to the day.Can't wait to come back and try basically everything else on the menu!!
