This place has a heck of good burger and sandwiches. This is pretty similar to smash burger but much better than them in all the aspects. The food quality and the taste of the burger is so good and the waiting time was not that long. The guy who served was very nice and fast. This deserve more recognition for what they are doing and being there. Must go try this place to know what I mean. The restaurant itself is pretty empty but I think they have more to go orders and a lot of delivery orders. They had some nice and fun hip hop music was on and that was one point. read more

I saw this place pop up a while ago and thought I would finally give it a try for the smash burger, I got the Double Cheese Candied Bacon and Jalapeño. Unfortunately the layout of menu in the restaurant was confusing and didn't show everything that is on their website. The cashier had the option for the burger on the register, but it was trying to force the combo as the only option. I only wanted the burger so I ended up just ordering off the website. I was charged an $0.85 Fee on top of taxes when ordering through the website, which was annoying since I just wanted to order there. I'm going with 3 stars and not less because the flavor of the burger was good, and the size was good too, unfortunately the amount of grease was pretty unacceptable. I understand Wagyu is much fattier but my bottom bun was completely soaked and sitting in grease. I would suggest they address these issues, it has deterred me from coming back anytime soon. Also the reason it took me so long to try this place out is because Cluck and Blaze failed because it wasn't good, so naming this shop basically the same thing seems like an odd choice to me. read more

I've been to Cluck & Smash three times this February. The first time was for lunch on Monday, February 9th, the second time was for dinner on Saturday, February 14th, and the third time was tonight. Tonight, I ordered all the burgers to go because I had my niece's performance to attend. On February 9th and February 14th, I dined at the restaurant. Their Wagyu beef burger is absolutely delicious, and the French fries are incredibly crispy and tasty. Also, every time I've visited, all of the staff have been consistently kind and friendly, which makes the experience even better. I usually get tired of eating the same food repeatedly and don't go to the same place often. So the fact that I came to the same restaurant three times in one month truly says how exceptionally good the food is, in my opinion. read more

I found out about this place a few weeks ago from a Yelp Elite event and absolutely loved it and had to come back and try some of their other items. They have a lot of different breakfast burritos and lunch burritos that have either chicken or wagyu patty in it, depending on which one you order. I wanted to try the Nashville Mac Attack, which included mac and cheese and a chicken tender for about $12 - honestly if you order the tender and mac and cheese separately, I think it would've been more expensive and I love the flavors together. The mac and cheese made the burrito really creamy and added a whole nother level to the chicken tender. 10/10. I also wanted to try their fried pickles. These are okay. I don't think I would get it again because they are actually too crunchy and too fried, in my opinion. It is flavored and seasoned well though. The service here is good and the workers have been very nice every time. Service is a bit on the slower end and it took about 15-20 minutes for the food to arrive but I liked how they brought the tray of food out to my table. read more

I've been coming here for their chicken sandwiches since it was Cluck & Blaze so when I saw they were converting to Cluck & Smash, I was ecstatic because I love a good smash burger. So I popped in to give it a try with a friend. We just happened to be in the area and since we weren't very hungry, we decided to split a Double-Double Wagyu Burger combo, which came with a drink and fries. I've had wagyu beef before and was impressed with its tender buttery texture so I was excited to see how it translated into a burger. When the meal arrived, I was a bit taken aback by the small size of the burger itself. Mind you, smash burgers aren't known to be large, but I expected more. The photo promised one thing and I got another. It immediately reminded me of the big fast food burger chains that show you photos of these gorgeous burgers piled high with ingredients and dripping in sauce. I got a rather flattened interpretation I suppose, more like a smushed burger than a smash burger. The carton also contained a rather sizable portion of seasoned fries. The burger, while tasty flavor wise, was a letdown. I was expecting some fatty, tender patties of wagyu but got chewy beef instead. It was nothing like the outstanding flavorful, tender beef patties you get at Proudly Serving or For The Win. And there was no crispy halo around the patties, another signature of a great smash burger. The fries were pretty good, but be forewarned that they use Cajun seasoning, not your usual seasoning salt. Thankfully they still have their chicken sandwiches on the menu and I'll be back for those. But I'll take a hard pass on the smash burgers, especially since For The Win is nearby. read more

Starting off, the fries were arguably the crispiest fries I've ever had without ruining the softness of the potato inside. They were also seasoned amazingly. The Wagyu burger was also very yummy. I loved how crispy yet tender the meat was. You can really taste the quality of the meat here apart from other smash burger places. The grilled onions were perfectly cooked and portioned too. For the chicken sando, I got the buffalo butter which was not too tangy. The chicken was also extremely crispy despite the amount of sauce it was drenched in. The buns were also unique because it was connected like a hot dog bun. Our server was also very sweet and helpful when helping us pick flavor for the chicken sandwich. read more

I got a single smash burger and it was perfectly cooked with lacey edges and a juicy center. The only change I would make is less sauce as there was a lot of it hiding under the bun and it was overpowering. I also got to try the fries and the mango habanero chicken sandwich and it was one of the best chicken sandwiches in terms of size and flavor. The fries were coated and seasoned, and were also really good and not too salty. Kirshen (sp?) helped us and he was friendly and efficient. The location is right at the corner but parking at the grocery next door made it easy to get in and out of. Definitely worth a try! read more

My sister recommended this place and i definitely was not disappointed. The smash burger was good (im pretty picky so i got it plain) but the smashville fries really knocked it out the park. First off, im especially picky when it comes to thousand island type sauces. I dont like in n out, chic fil a, daves or chick next door sauce. I do however love cane's sauce. And this sauce was reminiscent of it. Tangy and garlicky. 10/10 sauce. That being said, the mac and cheese and the chicken tenders were also better than other "hot chicken" places like daves or chick next door. Its a really large size and thank god the size represents the price. You can easily share this with a friend like I did. We struggled to finish this. Would recommend and will go again. . read more

This spot is a hidden gem! The burgers are cooked to perfection juicy, flavorful, and with that crispy, caramelized edge only a true smash burger has. You can tell they use quality ingredients because the patties taste fresh, and the buns hold everything together without getting soggy. The fries are golden and seasoned just right, and the staff is super friendly and fast. Whether you're grabbing lunch on the go or sitting down for a casual meal, it hits every time. Definitely coming back this might be my new favorite burger place in town! read more

Cluck & Smash in Glendale absolutely delivers From the moment you walk in, the service is amazing -- friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive. And for the quality you get, the prices are so good. It's rare to find a spot that nails service, quality, and value all at once. The ambience is such a vibe too -- modern, clean, and energetic without feeling chaotic. It has that cool, casual spot energy where you can grab a quick bite but still feel like you're somewhere special. The atmosphere just adds to the whole experience. The hot chicken sando is INSANELY good. Juicy, fresh, perfectly crispy with that spicy kick that builds in the best way. And the slaw inside? Literally perfect. It adds that cool, crunchy balance that makes every bite chef's kiss. And let's talk about the smash burger... hands down the best I've ever had. Crispy edges, flavorful, perfectly seasoned, melty cheese -- it's everything a smash burger should be and more. Cluck & Smash is officially a must-visit. Glendale did not come to play. read more

Yelp Cliff Notes: In a saturated nashville hot chicken sandwich market, cluck and smash delivers! Yelp Unabridged Version: I used to frequent cluck and blaze, the previous restaurant, all the time. Inconsistency of food and mediocre customer service, made me less inclined to dine there over the years. So much so, that I had a bias and would not try the new restaurant with a similar name. Boy am I glad I did. This restaurant is bomb.com. From the structurally sound split top bun that won't allow a single coleslaw slice to slip out of your grip to the perfect diversity of menu, it sets this restaurant apart. No where can you get wagyu smash burgers, wings, Nashville hot chicken, decadent corn, AND reputable healthy offerings for a reasonable price. Don't be chicken. Stop by :D read more

Ordered the Triple-Triple Wagyu burger and my goodness, it was VERY juicy and succulent, with a good amount (but not overwhelming) of grease. The cheese was nicely melted. Burger was realy filling. The seasoned fries, dang that was good. Fresh, tasty, and goes well with the ketchup and their sauces. Oh, not to mention the fried chicken sandwich. Juicy, tender, and tastes like Nashville alright.

I'd say it's better than burgers never say die and at a way more reasonable price. Fries are way superior here too. The fried pickles were INSANE too - highly recommend. The Nashville hot lived up to the name. Super spicy and delicious We had come to cluck & Blaze previously and had a poor experience by the end due to heavily decreased quality of the food (size, flavor, etc.) but this visit really showed how much better the new spot intends to be.

They came in and were warmly welcomed with "Go ahead, sit anywhere; we will be right with you." Unbeknownst to them, unfortunately, it was right as the team was switching in and out. The server, for one, was pouring wine for another table and had their table next. She came up extremely rude, asking for immediate service after being there less than 10 minutes. The server attended to them immediately, and with an amount of attitude you only get from a classic Karen, she decided to try and berate staff and act like they don't provide phenomenal service. I call bullshit when I see it, and her entire experience was made from her own ego and need to complain. Lies trying to make them look bad and just complain for complaining's sake. The staff here is nothing but welcoming, professional and friendly so if you had an issue its maybe you being non pleasant and expecting you to be the center of the world. Youre not

WHEN: Tue @7pm…read more Located in a small plaza, while there is free parking, it's also quite limited with it being share with other business establishments. However, since we came at night time where most of them were closed, we got parking right in front. This spot is more of a take-away place, with 6 counter seatings indoors, and maybe 3 chairs right out front. This tiny burger spot seems to be run by just one person, so it helps that you can self-order at their kiosk. He was very attentive juggling between cooking the made-to order items, and check in on the costumers in case they had questions. After placing my order at their one device, it was roughly a 15 minutes wait. Here's what we ordered: CHEESEBURGER - $9.90 High-quality beef patty smashed with grilled onions, serviced on a toasted Martin's potato bun and topped with pickles and their fry sauce. I really enjoyed this rich tasting burger. I think that fry sauce was a huge factor...but also that soft bun...and that flavorful beef patty. I really enjoyed this. FRIES - $5.25 Golden Thing-Cut Fries. Perfect. I mean this was made to order so they were warm, crispy and so dang good! It's how fries everywhere should be! I was hoping to come back during my trip in LA, but it's okay, it won't be the last time I visit.

We've been ordering from FTW for months because whenever i think of a smash burger, its either the…read moreones i make myself or the ones from FTW. The crispy lace edges, the juicy center, the grilled onion, the slightly spicy sauce, the slightly sweet bun...all dreamworthy! Their sweet potato fries aren't all that great to look at, but omg, always perfectly cooked and salted! Perfectly complimented with the fry sauce. All that said, we were disappointed when we received our last order: 1. Packaging change (paper wrapped instead of cardboard box for the burgers) robbed the craveable edges of their crispness. Plus there was so much grease on the paper wraps it actually made it messier to eat than before. 2. The sauce has changed. The spice level increased (still not too spicy), but a side of sauce (which you pay more than a $1 for) is now sent in a premade branded packet. I have zero issues paying extra for a good sauce made fresh in-house, but instead of tasting like a fresh sauce made with mayo and spices, it now tastes of oil and spices and is not nearly as tasty. We noticed the difference on the burgers as well, so it seems like their sauce is all premade now and not nearly as good.

I was starving and couldn't wait to try out the fries. Perfectly served, fresh cheese topped and chili cheese tasted great, not too salty. Presentation was great! I literally devoured the whole thing. The fries were cooked perfectly, not too greasy and crispy. I added ketchup on top and made it even better. The smashed burger was also delicious, flavorful, including a soft bun(bread), savory smashed meat. 5/5 for everything I will continue to support when I am at the brewery visiting. A very happy lady overall.

The Black Cow Cafe has been part of my life since my college years, so when I came here now, it was always filled with nostalgia and a slowed pace over a calming meal. Opened in 1994 by a father and son, they embodied the community's "Main Street USA" vibe with a neighborhood diner where everyone knew each other, and you were served a soothing homemade meal during breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Did this cafe leave me with warm memories of the past, or did I cower from time's inevitable changes!? PURCHASE(S) Green Milan 16floz Drink ($7.95): My body needed something "green" and this sounded interesting. I thought it would be one of those health smoothies back in the 80s, but instead a frothy hazy light drink with a light grassy aroma and a middling leafy flavor. I didn't dislike it, but I wouldn't order it again. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=Uo_FrA9ezkxhIn4VnwEVtQ Vegetarian Omelette w/Country Potatoes & Sourdough Toast ($18.95): Made with avocado, cheddar cheese, mushrooms, Ortega chiles, pico de gallo, salsa ranchera, spinach, and topped with sour cream, an omelette was also on my eating bingo card. This smallish portion on the healthier side was packed with fresh goodness and fluffy eggs. The country potatoes were plentiful, nicely seasoned, but lacked the outer crisp I liked. The large sourdough toast with creamy butter and preserves rounded out the meal well. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=vDf51dNgOCoyIaPX_AOvrw Fish & Chips w/Coleslaw & Muffin ($17.95): Made with tempura fried Icelandic cod served with jalapeno tartar sauce, and Hawaiian coleslaw, the three fish pieces were crunchy, hot, and thick but needed more seasoning so the tarter sauce came in handy (no vinegar!). The coleslaw lacked much flavor and moisture, and the muffin was moist and warm. This one could've been better. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=dsLbeFauDvvnvXiA6IZhBA [ONION RINGS/STRAWS/STRINGS ALERT - 4.0 of 5.0 STARS] Substitute Onion Rings ($3.95): I replaced the french fries with these, a good side portion with many rings of different sizes, these were hot, dark golden browned, crunchy, and had a tendency to crumble when bitten into while the onion ring (not sweet Maui) pulled out at times. Although they were somewhat oily, they were good, and dipping sauce wasn't needed. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=hBUiwmcGa-pKcL8pRPQipg German Chocolate Cake Slice ($5.95): Solid, thick, and a rich chocolatey flavor, the coconut maple frosting was outstanding! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=WracW1NRal1uz_2MeLeqlw Peach Cobbler Pie Slice ($5.95) + Vanilla Ice Cream Scoop ($1.25): A flat-looking thing with a ton of fresh peaches that bursted with cinnamon and spices, but the crust was lifeless. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=iBVwJ4BeHE_DcX1FHAP7qA SERVICE We were greeted by friendly young hosts, seated immediately, given menus, and shortly afterwards our orders were placed. Everything arrived within ten minutes, and we were checked on periodically. All was good - thank you! PARKING (Varied: FREE this instance): I found a spot in the large public lot directly above the restaurant off of Florencita Dr. Otherwise, there were metered spots along the main drag of Honolulu Ave. and all surrounding side streets- 'nuff said. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A packed layout filled with tables inside and along the front sidewalk, the decor was as if grandmothers united and gave it a country farm house appeal https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=HWq31BkepPCR8uWcUf4Gtw with odds-and-ends and knickknacks.

A minimal amount of natural lighting came in through the front glass windows and doors while a mix of recessed and track electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were no TVs nor could I recall any background music over all of the loud conversations. ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL It was nice to revisit The Black Cow Cafe, and hoped to return soon. The menu was packed, the food was good, the prices were comparable, and the service was busy but manageable. Plus, I always preferred to support small local mom & pop businesses. I found very good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $69.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 4.0 STARS

OG Smash Burger

OG Smash Burger is seriously a hidden gem. It's down the street from my house, which honestly might…read morebe dangerous because I keep finding excuses to come back. The burgers are smashed perfectly -- crispy edges, juicy center, and packed with flavor. You can tell they don't rush the process and actually care about how the food comes out. The buns are soft but sturdy, the toppings are fresh, and everything is well-balanced without being greasy or overwhelming. The fries are hot, seasoned right, and pair perfectly with the burger. Portions are solid for the price, and you definitely leave full. Service is friendly and laid-back, and the vibe feels local and welcoming, not corporate or fake. It's the kind of spot you hit once and then immediately start recommending to people. If you're anywhere nearby and craving a legit smash burger, OG Smash Burger is 100% worth it -- especially if you're lucky enough to live close like I do.

I really wanted the OG Smash Burger to live up to the standard of Original Tommy's, but…read moreunfortunately, it doesn't quite compare. While the chili is tasty and the service is excellent--the cashier was genuinely dedicated to guest satisfaction, and the food comes out hot and made-to-order in 5-10 minutes--it lacks the signature experience of the real OG Original Tommy's. Not huge at all and for the price, therefore not a good value. I spent $24 for the Chilicheese bruger combo with $1 upcharge for a bottled drink. The burger itself was decent, but they are way too tight with the chili portions compared to Tommy's, and the shoestring fries don't hold the chili nearly as well as the thicker-cut fries. I also found the specific combination of pickles, onions, and mustard on a Tommy's burger to be superior. The setting is purely a walk-up window with four outdoor benches, so it lacks the atmosphere of a traditional dine-in experience. Street parking during around 2pm on weekday was no problem. Got a spot right in front of the joint. If you do stop by, definitely give the chili a moment to cool--it comes out steaming hot! It's a solid, quick meal, but it hasn't dethroned the real OG, Original Tommy's, for me.

I don't know if that's a compliment for everyone, but I mean it in the best way. Established and substantial. Service is good. Clyde, the only bartender I've encountered is a pretty cool cat. Go visit him and see what I mean. The drink menu is impressive with old school tiki bar drinks highlighted. However, that Sparr Cocktail (a manhattan) rings my chimes too. I've had both lunch and dinner. Some stand outs: the crab cakes, the roast beef dip, and the sand dabs at dinner were all very satisfying. I just remembered the cobbler of pears poached in red wine! So good! I also had a filet one night and it was cooked perfectly. Check out John Sparr. You won't regret it unless you get a ticket for not curbing your tires!
