If you're into Nashville-style hot chicken, Cluck and Blaze is definitely a spot worth checking out. I recently stopped by and was honestly impressed, especially with the portion sizes and flavor. I ordered the two-tender combo, and right away I noticed these weren't your average tenders--they were jumbo. Thick, crispy, and cooked just right. The outside had that perfect crunch while the inside stayed juicy and tender. You also get to pick your heat level, which is clutch whether you like it mild or want that real Nashville kick. The combo came with Texas toast, pickles, and their signature comeback sauce. The Texas toast was buttery and soft, perfect for balancing out the spice. The pickles added that tangy bite that cuts through the richness of the chicken, and the comeback sauce tied everything together--it's creamy, slightly tangy, and honestly addicting. I also ordered the Cluckin' fries, which come loaded with their comeback sauce and your choice of heat on the chicken. These were a whole meal on their own. Crispy fries topped with flavorful chicken and sauce--it's messy in the best way possible. I gave their mac & cheese a try too--it was okay, not bad, but definitely not the standout compared to everything else. Stick to the chicken and fries and you'll be happy. Pro tip: let your friends order extra pickles... you're gonna want more once you start eating. Overall, Cluck and Blaze delivers on flavor, portion size, and that classic Nashville hot chicken experience. Definitely a spot I'd come back to when I'm craving something crispy, spicy, and satisfying. read more

The food was so good. I ordered the side chick combo and it was so crispy and flavorful. My son order the breakfast burrito and he enjoyed it. The service was very friendly and helpful. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance inside was quite they had the FIFA match on.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Went when they opened so it was slow. Parking is good and they have a small seating section inside. read more

Tyrone... Cluck & Blaze, mannnnn! I had this years ago and I still cannot stop thinking about it! I NEED to come back and come with an empty stomach to fill and consume for the rest of the damn day when I do! Their chicken is seasoned well with their own little secret herbals n' such. Even their Mac & Cheese was well seasoned and tasted like you're at a Black family's function. Their regular bone-in chicken hitsssss. Chicken sandos here are firrre based on how much you want your anus to yoga flame; but I mean that in a respectful way because they somehow know how to perfectly balance out the fire and the flavor! Wash all that down with their pulp fresh Raspberry Lemonade and you got a perfect high calorie, but delicious all day fulfilling meal, mannn! [[HIGHLIGHT]]But yeah... this place is clean, along with their nice restroom with other cool chicken propaganda in it.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Customer service was very good! The lady who helped us didn't simp on the sauces and she gives great details and suggestions while also checking on us always! I NEED to come back here when I can! Gotta make sure I'm off from work the next day though; otherwise my chamber of farts and toilet Oppenheimer will be the results! I mean that truthfully and respectfully as a compliment saying that I'm willing to risk and take the repercussions to enjoy this amazing food!! Stuff that thou partookith: - Raspberry Lemonade - Medium & Mild Main Chick Combo with Tots and Mac & Cheese - 2 wings with bread. read more

Fries are good, sandwich is okay. Bread is cold. Over $20 for a combo and it doesn't come with any sauce . Pretty empty during the day in case you need an expensive bite. read more

Cluck & Blaze - The Main Chick Combo* - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

I went in today with the expectation that I would be a big back and order a lot. I ordered the main chick AND Jerry style burrito with the banana pudding as a desert. And let me tell you. The food made my toes curl in delight. The owner is super nice and welcoming, he takes great care in his restaurant. Love this place and would recommend it to anybody with a real spice tolerance. read more

This may be the most underrated breakfast burrito in Long Beach. I mean, I would think that a Nashville Hot Fried Chicken Breakfast Burrito would be on everybody's hit list, but it's surprisingly empty every time that I come in here.  This burrito is awesome. The nashville hot chicken is so crispy and flavorful. I get medium/hot depending on how I'm feeling. It's actually pretty spicy though! I think this burrito is just crafted really well, like the scrambled egg is not just scrambled and thrown into the burrito. THey cook it in a thin sheet, and roll it up with the burrito, so you get an even bite of egg (and everything else) throughout the burrito. The hashbrowns inside are also preferable to just plain potatoes in any breakfast burrito. It's cheesy, and that sauce is really good too. Maybe even get some extra sauce on the side to cut the heat.  It's bomb, and you should put this on your list of must-have breakfast burritos in Long Beach. read more

Cluck & Blaze - The Original Nashville Hot Breakfast Burrito* - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

The breakfast burrito leaves something to be desired. I came here after work to grab a quick bite before heading home. I got the original Nashville breakfast burrito and felt like it was missing something... or maybe two things. The flavor was pretty mild and the chicken was dry. I tried compensating for it with some hot sauce to help fill it back in but it could only do so much. The service was good. The worker took my order promptly and accurately. The wait wasn't terrible but a bit longer than I expected - it was also a hot day but felt even hotter in the restaurant. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They do have indoor seating, which is nice, but I wouldn't want to sit inside unless it was a cold day and I needed to stay warm.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Overall, it's ok to try, I don't know if I'd try it again. I don't think I'll go out of my way to try it again, but if someone suggests it then I'll get something read more

Food was delicious! I'd definitely come here again.. the main chick was good BUT a lot of food if you want to share you can split it. Ohh and I got medium! It wasn't toooo spicy. Also, their fries delicious, mac and cheese was good to try, but I'd get the fries again w/ comeback sauce and honey mustard.. also, raspberry lemonade so yummy! Next time I'll get the side chick or try their burritos they sound pretty good! Service was great.. [[HIGHLIGHT]]it was empty for dine in, but a lot of pick up orders for sure![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I was bummed they didn't have banana pudding tho.. I guess next time! read more

Jerrys style burrito. That is all. Excellent price for the quality and quantity. Food is out in a swift manner, [[HIGHLIGHT]]nice and air conditioned inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Do yourself a favor and try this burrito, you will not regret it. I had mine at Feel it Twice level, two levels under Call the Morgue and holy shit, I definitely felt it twice. Will definitely have it again though read more

i didnt realize until halfway through my first tender that I think they accidentally gave me an extra tender but that just makes the experience even better. their chicken is so juicy and so delicious. the mac and cheese is unbelievably creamy and cheesy, of course. our ordering process was quick, as they have two tablets to order from, or you can order directly with someone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]lots of seating inside, and parking just out front.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] the wait wasn't too long. extremely filling, very satisfied read more

Cluck & Blaze - tender combo + side chick combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

Food is really good! Love the spice levels. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place itself was very clean so I would definitely sit in to dine in.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Got the chicken sandwich combo and it was super good! Huge piece of chicken and breaded just enough. We also got the chicken tenders. We went with mild tho because the hot is a huge jump from mild so just be mindful of that lol. Service was fine, there wasn't much interaction with anyone since you can order at a kiosk. read more

I've tried all the menu items, and everything is amazing. Gotta spend a couple minutes looking at the menu to decide what I want. Jerry's burrito definitely a reoccurring order of mine when its a cheat day with that perfectly poached egg with runny yolk. Party size tender tray when dieting. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Consistently great service, and cleanliness.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Was really good, now they have declined in quality. Chicken was pretty dry and not that spicy (I went with the second hottest, call mom). Portions are smaller also. Maybe they were having a bad day or new management. A shame because they were really good. read more

The boys are craving fried chicken and we are on the hunt for it ! Let me tell you they were not joking when they say "call mom" it is spicy ! I got myself their famous clucking fries and it is surprisingly good! The boys love it so we're all happy .The new owners are sweet and polite ! Definitely coming back ! read more

Cluck & Blaze - Sorry it was good so I couldn't wait - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

The fries were golden, well-seasoned, and had a perfect crunch. The burrito was huge, packed really well, and not soggy at all. Everything inside worked together, from the tater tots to the egg and chicken. Their chicken is flavorful, juicy, and crispy. The sandwich also looked amazing, with soft buns and tender chicken that brought all the flavors together. Overall, everything was fresh, well-made, and seriously satisfying. read more

Not sure what happened, but medium don't even feel like a lite mild. Fries tasted like freezer burn. Mac n cheese is okay, but it was overdone. Service is quick, but when you pay over $19. You expect better tasting HOT chicken. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have tv's and music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]No restroom.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Sad that this place has lost its touch. read more

This is my second time going here and it never disappoints! I got the breakfast burrito with medium spicy and I was hit with a flavor bomb. They give you really big portions too, so much that I literally had to take a nap after . The staff is really polite and the food came out fast despite it being the dinner rush. I will definitely be coming back again! read more

ABSOLUTELY PHENOMENAL SERVICE. I was stuck in a building fire and the store owner himself dove STRAIGHT into the fire and pulled me out himself! Afterwards he took me to his shop and gave me a meal while also tending to my wounds. The food? Greatest thing to ever touch my tongue. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was so good that some fell on the floor and I had to lick it up off his clean and stainless floors![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] 10/10 read more

that chicken was bomb as hell it was so bussin i got the original nashville hot breakfast burrito and it was so much food i only ate half and then i brought my half home and then my dad and brother ate my leftovers and they were full after too so cluck n blaze literally feeds families read more

Ill start with this was a total waste of money, i actually threw it away. 30$ wasted and I'm pissed. I placed an order on doordash for the tenders and mac n cheese, which arrived without issue. Upon first glance they looked okay but after cutting one in half, I was very saddened. The batter was flaking off like no other, the chicken itself is terrible. I'd rather have mcdonald's chicken nuggets over this, all day, any day. The chicken is odd, both taste, smell, and texture. (I'll update the review if I get sick). The mac and cheese was terrible as well. I have no idea what sauce/cheese they use but it tasted very watered down. It seems to me like they add flour or some thickening agent because the texture is very weird as well. I've honestly never been so disappointed with a place than this. Plus I'm now gonna have to spend even more somewhere else just to have lunch. I work graveyard shift so this was a total let down and waste. I'd highly highly recommen going to literally any other chicken place than this. read more

Cluck & Blaze - The worst Chicken tenders I've ever had. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

The new ownership really revived this place, it used to be dead. Now, the food is better than it has ever been. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Plenty of indoor seating, kept clean by the diverse staff and owner.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Favorite thing to get are their breakfast burritos, healthy portion for the price; not something you find often nowadays. I've complained to the owner that my food wasn't hot enough and he warmed it up in his hands -- right in front of me and my family! Don't sleep on their dessert items, both the banana pudding and their new cheesecake up are top tier. Make sure to get "Call The Morgue" level spice, if you can handle sriracha, you can handle that. It's enough to give you a little kick. If you consider yourself a POC, please consider applying here. More staff is always welcome. read more

5-Star Review Tried Cluck & Blaze for the first time and it definitely lived up to the hype! I ordered the 2-piece chicken tenders, which came with bread and a side of pickles, and everything was seasoned perfectly. The tenders were crispy, juicy, and full of flavor -- exactly what you want from a chicken spot. My kids got the chicken burger and the chicken bites with tater tots, and they cleaned their plates. The "comeback sauce" was a big hit at our table too -- super tasty and went great with everything. We even finished off the meal with their banana pudding, which was surprisingly good and a great way to end the meal. Overall, we all enjoyed our food and had a great experience. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to! read more

It's been a long minute, the food is still good but it has lost it's glam. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The place isn't as busy as it used to be[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] and the staff is friendly enough but it's become so close to a self serve location. You order at the tablet and then wait to be called to the counter to pick up your food. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's overall clean more so because it so quiet and most orders are pick up.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Prices have gotten a little too steep since the last time I ordered anything from here but for once in a while cravings I'll still come back. read more

You don't talk to anyone, you walk in and input what you want via a touch screen. Not bad but a first timer may have some questions and maybe they could answer them for you, but when I went in there was no one there. Ok on to the food, it's a chicken sando, seems like everyone is doing the Hot Chicken. For me it's not something I crave as I think the hotter it is the less I like it so I got the first level up. It was ok but for Me, the star is the pickles, sauce and slaw. IF I ever come back I'll just get the regular plain cowardly style. BUT, for $18-19 just for a sandwich? I'd say it's too high. I mean KFC or Popeyes for the cost works for me. I love the small businesses and hope they succeed but for the money I don't see it. Good Luck read more

Cluck & Blaze - Burrito - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

I moved away from Long Beach so haven't been here in a really long time. Had it last night & was so surprised at how much the quality of the food has declined given it was my fav chicken place. I used to not be able to finish the Main Chick combo - this time i finished it easily and was hungry again 2 hours later. The chicken feels smaller, pretty dry and the sandwich overall didn't look as hearty as it used to. Idk if its skimping on portions but quality is not the same. Bring back the old Cluck & Blaze! There's a lot of competition out there (like Dave's) so it's sad to see them lose customers. read more

I had the Nashville hot breakfast burrito and it was tasty! It is a tad bit on the heavy side for a breakfast burrito in the morning but if you love nashville hot chicken and breakfast burritos, they do it pretty well. I do like the tater tots they add into the burrito as their potato. The staff is very nice and the order came out very quickly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is indoor and outdoor seating at this place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I went to Cluck & Blaze because people kept saying it was "fire," which I've learned is a phrase that now means mildly warm food served by emotionally volatile men. The place looks like it was decorated by someone who hates both chickens and people. Sticky floors. A TV permanently stuck on a sports channel no one is watching. The smell is oil, regret, and whatever cologne is used to intimidate women. Then there's Jerry. Jerry is the owner, manager, cashier, and self-appointed moral authority. He has the energy of a man who believes customer service is a personal attack. I watched him sigh -- loudly -- every time someone approached the counter, like each order was an inconvenience he hadn't emotionally prepared for. When I asked a question about the menu, Jerry stared at me for a full five seconds and said, "It's chicken. What do you want it to be?" Fair question, Jerry. I guess I wanted it to be edible. Someone ahead of me asked for mild sauce. Jerry laughed. Actually laughed. Then said, "This place isn't for you," like he was guarding a sacred flame instead of a heat lamp. The food took 40 minutes. Forty. For chicken. I've had medical procedures that took less time and involved more care. When it finally came out, it was burnt on the outside, suspiciously cold inside, and drenched in a sauce that tasted like vinegar had a personal vendetta against me. I took one bite and understood why the soda machine was empty -- hydration is essential for recovery. I saw Jerry argue with a delivery driver, a customer, and what I believe was his own reflection in the stainless steel fridge door. At one point he yelled, "People don't know food anymore," which felt bold coming from a man serving poultry with the texture of drywall. No apology. No check-in. Just vibes. Hostile vibes. Leaving Cluck & Blaze felt like surviving something. Not a meal -- an experience. The kind you recount later like, "Yeah... I don't really like to talk about it." I didn't feel nourished. I felt judged. By Jerry. By the chicken. By myself. Two stars. One for the fact that I lived. One because Jerry would be furious if I gave it zero. read more

This place over Dave's hot chicken sorry not sorry! I crave this almost every other day lol it's that addicting read more

My husband and I saw an reel on Instagram that sold us on a Friday night adventure out to Long Beach to try cluck & blaze! Portions are hefty and menu has a lot of good options. We got the medium spice and don't think we could have gone any hotter. Mild or medium is probably best for those that like heat but don't want the meal ruined by it. Minus one star because it is not the best hot chicken I have had recently but it was definitely worth the try! read more

5 stars is for the food. You do not talk to anyone and order on the tablet but that's understandable thanks to Newsum raising all the fast food wages in California so businesses can lo longer afford to pay workers causing layoffs and less human contact these days. The chicken was tasty and cooked perfectly plus not too greasy feeling. I got one lower than the most spicy and it had a good amount of heat. My eyes were watering but worth it. My kids loved the mac and cheese. I have tried many hot chicken places including Howlin Rays and this one is up there with the good ones without traveling too far and waiting in line. I will definitely return.. read more

Cluck & Blaze - My first time to try breakfast Burrito and it was delicious. Everything was perfectly seasoning! - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

updating my review: I don't know what happened to Cluck & Blaze, but the quality has completely gone downhill. I used to enjoy coming here, but my last visit was a disaster. The chicken was so cold, it was almost frozen in the middle -- like it had just come out of a fridge and barely touched a fryer. Completely ruined my appetite. The flavor was bland, the texture was off, and nothing tasted fresh. Whatever standards they used to have are clearly gone. Definitely not coming back unless they seriously get it together. I used to love this place but now it's one of the worst hot chicken places besides the fact that it is halal. read more

Cluck & Blaze - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

we came in for a late lunch around 3pm after the LB Antique Market. We didn't want to eat too much to mess up dinner. however, we were overwhelmed with the size of the 2 orders. We could have ordered 1 and shared and it would have been enough. As it turned out we had to pack up the Cluckin' Mac for later. unfortunately I felt like we didn't order correctly as both these menu items had only small pieces of chicken, so we couldn't judge the chicken vs if we had a whole chicken piece. I think there're more trimmings than chicken pieces in these 2 items...lots of carbs (mac/tortilla +potatoes) server was kind enough to give us samples of mild and medium spicy, we went to mild as it still has a little spicy kick which was enough for us. soft drink was refillable and we had 4 cups since we've just walked 3.5hrs and came in thirsty. the place is clean and server cleaned up right after the table was cleared from the previous customers. If I'm in the neighborhood again, I would come back to try other menu items with whole chicken pieces. read more

Cluck & Blaze - Cluckin' Mac - Chicken Shop Near Me - Long Beach, California

See all

Writing this review in their parking lot after a $36 purchase. Ordered the main chick (medium) w/ coleslaw, the cluckin' mac (hot), and a tender (extra hot). Everything was incredibly BLAND and expensive given the quality/taste. Cluckin mac was recommended by the woman behind the counter and it had no seasoning, flavor or spice, I would not recommend this. The chicken in it isn't coated in any spice either, it's a plain tender with bland fries, bland mac and a dusting of powder on top of the mac that gets lost. Super disappointing. The main chick was bland and the coleslaw tasted like watered down salad. The tender was the only potentially redeeming item. Everything, while technically edible, felt like a rip off and I wish I could get my money back. Would not recommend. Try any other Nashville hot chicken place - even Dave's is better. Also, the containers were covered in oil/seasoning. I understand things can get messy, but the store was empty and there were no orders. All around a disappointing experience read more
