The best chicken sandwich I have ever had. There is no exaggeration. The chicken was HUGE yet crispy and tender, all at the same time. Curly fries were crispy and the perfect thickness and seasoning. Truly all around a delicious sandwhich. The cashier who rang us up also was super kind and gave us tomato without charging extra, since it was our first time there. Little acts of kindness like that make a true business and it doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you and we will be coming back! read more

Honestly VERY disappointing experience. Someone else grabbed my order who had the same name, cashier didn't check the order or verify, the guy opened all the boxes of my food, and then handed it back after I told the employee it was mine. I'm sorry but isn't there a practice to be checking names or receipts before handing people someone else's food? Or if someone has the same name don't you think it might be a good idea to make sure they get the right order? Also...once it's been opened by someone else, it should've been replaced! And the food itself? Glorified school lunch. Heavy, greasy, overpriced, and tastes like Sysco slop. Definitely not worth it. read more

Loved everything we ordered at Cluck Kitchen! The tenders were super crispy and juicy. I also love that they have so many delicious flavors to choose from. The hot honey was my favorite, the perfect mix of sweet with a little kick. The Nashville sandwich was also so good with a bold, flavorful heat that will definitely satisfy any spicy lover. We tried both the Standard (4 oz on a potato bun) and the Cluck (6 oz on a brioche bun), and I'd definitely recommend upgrading to the Cluck size if you're hungry or just want the ultimate fried chicken experience, it's so worth it. The curly fries were perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and fluffy with a great potato flavor. Don't skip the sauces either! The Cluck Sauce was our favorite, the tangy mustard flavor paired so well with the tenders. We'll definitely be back! Easy 10/10!! What we ordered: -Tenders (country fried, lemon pepper, hot honey) -The Nashville Sandwich (standard) -The Nashville Sandwich (cluck size) -Curly Fries -Cluck Sauce, Comeback Sauce, Ranch read more

I have the worst photos of Cluck Kitchen because I literally always eat it before I can take a pic. But genuinely it's the next best thing to Howlin Ray's #ifykyk. Their chicken tenders are moist, crispy, flavorful, I love the hot honey, a mix of sweet and spicy. Their Nashville sandwich is good too, mild is a bit too hot for me, so no spice is definitely the way to go if you can handle mild spice. This is my go to chicken spot! read more

My first time here and I'm impressed! It happened to be a Tuesday and they had a Tenders Tuesday promotion for $2.50 each and allows different flavors for each piece. The tenders were huge and perfectly fried when it came out. The outside was crispy and inside was truly tender, juicy, and steaming hot. So fresh and delicious. We tried Garlic Parm as a non spicy option. We also ordered Nashville medium and Nashville hot. They were all really flavorful and very good. Personally I could easily handle the Hot. I heard from others that they used to have two spicier flavors that are no longer available. I'm sad I never got to try them. The flavors were very intense and can easily be added to a sandwich and it would have plenty of flavor. read more

Saw this spot after going to Paderia once. Decided to finally stop in. Parking is pretty easy to find here & theres seating inside and out. Service was also good. I ordered some tenders , a chicken sandwich and their new chicken caesar salad wrap/burrito. Everything was so good. The chicken sandwich had a huge piece of chicken in it and it was juicy. That alone wouldve filled me up. I oike how they do individual tenders so i can try as many sauces as I want. I usually get spicy flavors but i wanted to try their Garlic Parm and it was pretty good. I also got buffalo, mango habanero and hot. The only spicy one was hot. All the tenders were pretty big. The chicken caesar wrap was also pretty good. The sauce that comes with it is fireee. Im probably coming back again soon to try the rest of the sauces haha. Def recommend! read more

This place was not good, don't trust the videos you see on TikTok. I got the chicken Caesar wrap and it was so mid. They take the boiling hot chicken and wrap it up in a tortilla with a bunch of lettuce so obviously the lettuce all wilted and turned to mush, so maybe the chicken should be cold... and the caesar did not taste like caesar is tasted like sugar, and there was no Parmesan in it, im very confused why they are calling that Caesar. Lastly, the tortilla was like transparent, idk if it was undercooked or what but it was very different. :( read more

Okay, so I met the owner at a Yelp event last year. He owns the Cut which serves a great burger and other American choices. He has a new name from me: The Chicken Guy! Yes, he discovered he has a "gift" in making incredible chicken sandwiches. No, not just good chicken sandwiches, no these are at a whole other level of good. I'm thinking perfection. Crunchy on the outside, and sweet and tender inside. Words can't do it. If you visit this place one time, you will be coming back for their chicken for the rest of your life.. For example, their Korean Soy Garlic Jumbo Tenders are beyond words to describe how good. Secret spot for chicken in Southern California. read more

Wow! Im absolutely floored with Cluck chicken. I was in the area and needed a quick lunch. Picked this up and was very surprised. I have to admit, the menu layout was a bit confusing at first and took me a minute to figure it out. The cashier was lovely and after letting her know it was my first time she went above and beyond to guide me through the process. You can get as many chicken tendies as you want at this place! Just 1? 2? 5? 30? You name it, they got you. I went with their most popular, the Korean Soy Garlic and Nashville hot. Southern man here, I love spicy! - KGS was absolutely . Flavor was on point. I dragged the chicken through all the sauce that dripped off. SO GOOD! The Nashville hot was spicy, but mild for my taste buds. Dont be fooled, if youre not used to spice you might get burned. Excellent flavor with a kick, just as it should be. I didn't want to get too crazy so I ordered normal curly fries. These were well seasoned and crunchy with soft inside. Great place to eat. Similar to Dave's Hot Chicken and Cane's. What I love about Cluck is the wide customization items. I will definitely be back for more of that Korean Garlic Soy and their new flavor, Mango Habenaro. Give this place a try. You won't regret it. read more

Cluck Kitchen - 2 chicken breasts with curly fries. 1 Korean Soy Garlic (left) 1 Nashville Hot (right). - Chicken Shop Near Me - Irvine, California

Wow sooo good! We got the 15 piece and were allowed 3 flavors. We chose Korean soy garlic, medium Nashville and lemon pepper. The chicken was soo juicy it literally leaked with each bite. It was also very crispy and had an amazing batter that wasn't too thick. Lemon pepper flavor was a 4/5, Nashville medium 5/5 sooo delicious. The soy garlic was like a 3/5 because I prefer it extra saucy but there wasn't much of a potent flavor and it wasn't as wet. I would definitely return read more

I got a snack here at Cluck Kitchen and enjoyed it. Food: I tried the cheese curds and enjoyed them a lot. They were very delicious and the portion size was very good.

Ambiance: The decor inside is very nice but the seating inside is limited. read more

Friendly staff and food came out relatively quick. I ordered the Nashville loaded fries, which is the popular flavor, in medium spice. The spice level is tolerable except some pieces of chicken that has really absorbed all the spices may burn. The cole slaw and fries help with relief. The fries are curly fries so I was happy they were not just steak fries or crinkle cut fries. The chicken pieces were nicely cooked and flavorful. We agreed this is a generous portion for two and a good sharing portion for 4 people if each person ordered a main such as a burger. read more

Saw this on instagram and we decided to go here to try it out. It was worth it. We got 2 mini sandwiches and a loaded fries. The classic cluck is the smaller version but honestly it is the same size as other places, which is good. Chicken is fried nicely and still juicy. Comes with mayo and lettuce. Think I will ask for cole slaw next time though. The Nashville hot is also a mini version and is the same as the classic but has cole slaw. Very tasty and it comes in four different levels of heat. The side of pickles were good as it allows you to add to the sandwich or eat them as is. The CBR loaded fries are waffle fries covered in cheese and fried chicken bites with a sauce. This is big enough to a be meal by itself. No need to order something else. Overall a 10/10 Definitely coming back as it is beater than other places and closer to home than other places we go. read more

Visited Cluck for the first time. Images on Yelp looked inviting. Busy day after 1pm so we anticipated our first meal. Ordered Classic Meal and three piece chicken fingers with three sauces. Sadly, the three fingers we way too salty. Could not finish. Sandwich chicken maybe the same but the mayonnaise may have helped. Anyway, popular as this restaurant is, be advised that their food may be more salty than you may like. read more

I was on a work trip and I was looking for a restaurant to eat dinner. I had heard about this restaurant through social media influencer and Yelp.

Wow, am I glad I decided to try Cluck Kitchen tonight! I had the Nashville sandwich, medium heat, with the mac and cheese for the side and a peach lemonade. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside, with the slaw and pickles adding a tangy and delicious crunch to the sandwich. The mac and cheese seems baked (s it should be) and was creamy and cheesy with a very tasty crust on top. My only note is that the lemonade is a bit too sweet and I had to cut it with some water. After that, it was perfect. Service was quick and friendly, and I will definitely return! read more

I ordered to go so I can't speak much on the ambiance of the restaurant itself but it was brightly lit and clean from my pickup experience. The service was fast, as my order was completed before the expected time and all the staff was nice from the quick interaction. I ordered a nashville hot cluck size sandwich, a standard size cluck sandwhich combo, corn fritters, and CBR loaded fries. Everything was hot and smelled amazing from the bag, and even better once I opened it. The nashville cluck was in the more expensive side for a single sandwich but the flavor and heat was really worth it. I have been craving a hot chicken sandwich for a while now and this was the best I've had in the area. It combined both a hot heat and excellent flavor. The cluck sandwich was very standard but very good at the same time. Again on the more expensive side for a single sandwich but it was well made, the patty was crispy and flavorful. The CBR fries were on the softer side, and the most expensive singluar item I ordered. The flavor itself was delicious, nothing overbearing in terms of flavor as all the toppings blended well together. The corn fritters were amazing, the fritter was crispy, the elote flavor was there, and the bits of corn were a nice touch. Overall Cluck is a really good option, the flavors were all there and I will be back to try some of the other options read more

They updated the menu again in a good way. First you choose if you want Tenders, Nuggets, or Wings. Then you choose how many you want. Then you choose if you want to make it a combo that comes with waffle fries and a drink. I get the 3 pack of Tenders combo Medium spice plus Ranch and Comeback sauce. I can barely finish it. It's excellent! read more

Chicken sandwich was a good size and had just the right amount of lettuce and sauce. I liked their bun which was not soggy. The Mac and cheese portion should be larger given the price. It was cheesy and the spice on top was a nice touch. It only took 5 minutes to get our food to go after ordering. I would come back as the meal was solid overall, and I wish I got to try their beignets. read more

I came in during OC restaurant week. I have been wanting to try this place for a while now. I decided to go with the chicken Parmesan sandwich it came with fries, peach lemonade, and beignets. It was so good. The people were helpful. I really thought I could eat the whole sandwich but half got me full. I gave the rest to my brother and he is not a fan of chicken sandwiches but he really liked it. The fries were super delicious. The beignets were soft. The peach lemonade was refreshing especially since it's been hot. Would definitely come back to try their tenders. read more

Let me preface that Iv been eating here since they opened, and never had any issue. Absolute disaster. I specifically ordered on your website hoping to avoid delivery app issues. A 1215 delivery time turned into a 1pm delivery time, just in time for everyone to go back to work. Food was disgustingly cold. Nowhere on your website does it say Uber delivers your food. And when one calls your phone number, of course there is no way to get to someone live. $120.00 down the drain. read more

Jan '26: - The loaded fries was disgusting. Almost forced myself a heart attack just cuz I didn't wanna waste money. + The nashville chicken sandwich is still good though! + Crowded yet ample parking. May '22: tl,dr: Great quality fast food! Tip: Just go before peak lunch hours, and they'll be ready to take your order right away. Likes: + As long as you don't destroy yourself with the spice level, the chicken is rly crunchy and flavorful, and there's plenty of vegetables. :D + The drawback is that with all these ingredients, the burger/sandwich is super packed. Fortunately, it comes in a neat and tight paper wrap. + Every order comes with a moist towelette, along with the necessary napkins and utensils. Thankfully they'll bag it all up if you ask. + They take G Pay. + My friends rly like the tenders. What I didn't like: - The Extra Hot was too hot. jk read more

I absolutely love this place and go here every now and then for a treat! I usually get the chicken tender box with fries and at hot spice level which is kicker for sure! This time I got the Nashville hot chicken sandwich spice level medium and I personally think I should have stuck with the hot but for like 90% of people the medium will be totally fine and still spicy enough. I do think that something was a bit different this time around. Not sure if it was the breading or the chicken itself, just couldn't put my finger on it but it was still delicious! The service was quick and friendly and the seem to have updated the inside a bit too with new screens and menus! read more

Checked out cluck kitchen for the first time in Irvine. I had a takeout order and the food was delicious. Ordered chicken tenders (various flavors but the standout flavor was garlic parm), Mac and cheese, corn fritters (the only item we regret ordering it was lackluster), Cole slaw, and the Caesar salad wrap (delicious!). The employee at the register was helpful in explaining their spice levels. The reason for the three stars vs five stars is that one other employee (a cook - young man that was on break in the front guest area) was obviously in a bad mood or angry at his coworkers because he loudly cursed the F-word multiple times and demanded "respect" I don't believe the cook knew that a customer (me) was there because I was sitting at a table hidden by a divider. This was very unprofessional and I was going to approach him to let him know that he shouldn't act/speak this way at work but then he was gone in the back. I did speak with the cashier to share that I overheard the cook acting unprofessionally. The cashier apologized on the cooks behalf. I will return to this location as it was delicious but I hope that the cook gets the training he needs or refresh in courtesy in the workplace as he could seriously affect others dining here. read more

Amazing! Their chicken is fantastic! Even the mild has a tiny kick but medium is the best for spice level for me. The ratio of chicken and bread is great. The chicken is always juicy and soft. The only downside to me is their fries. It's not that great as their chicken. I wish they would do better with their fries. The service is great! They are always nice and helpful. The place itself is small but I usually get my food to go. All in all, this is my new hot chicken sandwich place. It beats all the others read more
