    a street corner at night

    Great spot for a quick grab & go! Loved the crispiness of the fried chicken and variety of sides to choose from !! My fave sides were the corn and beans and the biscuit of course. Parking is a little jammed but you'll find your way

    Fried chicken from a top chef canada winner. When she won top chef I visited Cluck N Cleaver before and really enjoyed it. I saw her on Iron Chef Gauntlet and craved Cluck N Cleaver. I wanted to try their rotisserie chicken and when I got there I was about to order the 1/4 chicken but they said we would have to wait 20-30 min.... but I was hungry now..... So instead, I ordered the Mutha Clucking Sandwich, mostly because of the name but it was a bread chicken, with goat cheese and buffalo sauce topped with veggies. They made the sandwich fresh so it was a 7 min wait.... so i also ordered two cookies: chocolate chip and Skor pecan. The cookies were absolutely AMAZING!!! I highly recommend the Skor Pecan, it was soft and perfect sweetness! Dessert before my meal, WHY NOT! Now on to the sandwich, It was pretty good! the chicken was juicy, the cheese balanced the spice of the buffalo sauce. The down side to the sandwich was, it was a bit small... maybe because I was very hungry and wanted more :) The fried chicken has a very good spicy to it, it was very different from KFC or Popeye. Overall, I will come back for the cookie!

    My new favorite chicken place. I told the gentleman working there that it was my first time here. I think his name was John. He explained options and my son and I decided to share the 5 piece chicken with a side of slaw. I have to say that it was the hottest, crispiest chicken that I've ever had. It was super tasty too. It helped that John was a super friendly guy as well. I live way down in the deep South part of Calgary, but I have to say it's worth the drive. Will definitely be back !

    Items Selected: Two Piece Fried Chicken Rotisserie Chicken Poutine Buttermilk Biscuit Chocolate Chip Cookie and Skor Cookie Following an American trend of fried Chicken as far as the eye can see, journey(wo)man Chef Nicole Gomes bringing her regionally-famous Bird to a brick and mortar home after years of wowing fans at local food events, Cluck n' Cleaver on 14 Street SW proved a fortuitous midday find during my first day in Calgary, an off-hour visit featuring no wait and a menu full of tempting choices that outperform the chains by miles without too great a price-hike. Touting environmentalist beliefs and a focus on sustainability, the Chickens all Organic and never frozen while packaging is either recyclable or compost-ready, it was from a somewhat sleepy clerk that greetings were offered on arrival, the menu a well-culled affair of fried versus rotisserie, though both can readily be sampled for just $9.75CAD by way of a Golden two-piece combo with a side of roasted Chicken Poutine. Waiting perhaps ten minutes for fresh-fried Potatoes, a few more patrons entering the standing room only space or taking orders to-go, it was with two clamshells plus two bags in hand that items were unpacked on the wood counter, first bites of the fries and gravy succeeding where so many others fail by way of squeaky Curds from Quebec alongside juicy cubes of dark Meat, the Biscuit unfortunately not as impressive despite good Butter content since it ate more like a Muffin than something layered and flaky. Moving onward to the fried Bird, a Wing and Thigh each piping hot and crisp without a hint of grease, Gomes' success appears to be derived largely by a rich spice profile awash in Pepper, Sage and something faintly sweet with a crunchiness that almost seems double-battered, the Poultry itself also well-brined and the sort of thing that would go great with a housemade Shake or locally crafted Soda before finishing up with a fresh-baked cookie...or two...on this day featuring Dark Chocolate Chip or one based on Skor Candy Bars with rich Toffee.

    Pretty easy access off 14th. More parking in the back. Small area to order and wait. No place to eat in. The lady taking my order never cracked a smile or said a warm greeting. Notta. Hmm. Maybe an off day. But hey we drove 30 min just to try this place a smile and friendly hello would have been nice. The chicken was delicious! Crispy and wonderful. We ordered 5 piece, 2 biscuits, large fries and a cucumber, radish, tomato salad for 4 of us. This was plenty of food to share for our family. Everyone loved every bite. We will definitely return because the food is worth the drive!

    Cluck n Clever. Catchy name and with lots of referrals. But for those who don't know, they specialize in fried chicken. Being a fried chicken kinda guy and with the line up accumulating, I had hopes for this place. With the swanky sign and cool decor, I was really digging it. My crew and I ended up trying 5 pieces of chicken with fries and gravy. Needless to say, it looked really good! With the oil sippin through the box. However, it is nothing special. From what I tasted, it was all delicious, but not enough to comeback. Let's just say they are, jack of all trade but master of none. It was suprising. I thought the chicken would be tastier, the gravy be thick and savory and the fries to be well seasoned and crispy. For those who hasn't tried, check it out for yourself and formulate your opinion. I just believe there is a better chicken cook in town.

    Cool assortment of unusual drinks and takeaway sides

    Oh take out fried chicken, you know your way straight to my heart... but like, in a good for the soul, non-heart-attackey kind of way. But yeah, even though Cluck N Cleaver is definitely a take-out fried (and rotisserie) chicken joint, it really didn't seem all that unhealthy. Does that mean it's healthy? Probably not. But it does mean that it's not even close to as thick or greasy as any of the other fried chicken joints I've been to... Frequent... Practically live at... So what makes it different? As far as the chicken goes, I... umm, I'm honestly not too sure, but different, it definitely is! It's still coated like the say, Kentucky style chicken you grew up on, but it seems like the coating is both thinner and extra crispy. It's a brilliant combination, really. It's like they manage to give you all the crispy flavour coating the juiciest chicken ever, but they do it in a way that less grease sinks in. It's magical. Other than the chicken, this place is freaking adorable and that definitely set's it apart. It's called the Cluck N Cleaver for crying out loud. That's great! They pretty much take the farm 2 table concept and apply it to a casual takeout chicken joint. It's brilliant! I also really love their choice of sides and that they have some lighter options. Don't get me wrong, I love non-healthy options, I'm giving 5-stars to a fried chicken joint by the way, but when I've already decided the primary part of my meal is going to be fried chicken, their cilantro lime bean corn salad really helps at some fresh, light flavour and colour to help cut the grease. The potato egg salad is also a really nice compliment that will make you feel full but also not hate yourself when the meal is done. The medium sides are a great size to share between two people. Two of us got the 5-piece fried chicken and two sides. I was epically hungry so we split the chicken 3/2 and the sides 50/50 - it worked out to be the perfect amount of food. If you're grotesquely hungry, you may want to order more.

    Fried chicken three-piece combo; I chose fries as side.
    John M.

    In their second day of operations, I got the three piece combo- three pieces of fried chicken (they also have rotisserie chicken) and one side, for which I chose fries but there are several other options. Quite simply the best Southern US style fried chicken I've ever had in Canada- among other things, this entails a crispy, rather thick, highly seasoned breading not all like what you find with karaage or with Korean fried chicken, and then there are classic American sides like beautiful biscuits I cannot wait to try. Delectable. I could, and would he happy to, eat the breading by itself. There is no seating here, just a small stand up counter, do you're probably going to get yours to go.

    Christine L.

    I've been here twice. The first time I ordered the chicken combo with fries, potatoes and biscuits. The chicken was juicy and good quality, but the seasoning was bland. The fries were crispy and a good portion. The biscuits were incredible, the interior was soft and pulled away like cotton candy. The second time I bought three packages of "cold chicken" (day old), six biscuits, skor cookies and gravy. The chicken when reheated was delicious, still juicy and best of all, the skin was well-seasoned. The gravy was nice and went with the chicken. The biscuits were very hard and dry. All six of them. The cookies were okay. I'd go back for the cold chicken. Four pieces for $10.50 is a good price.

    Such good chicken!
    Miranda R.

    My favourite fried chicken, crispy, hot and delicious! I paired the chicken with a biscuit and the corn salad side. Everything was freshly cooked and steaming hot, we ended up eating everything right in the car because we couldn't wait to get home. A small amount of parking out front but decent street options close by if you're wanting to run in and grab something. Definitely a grab and go not a sit down and eat spot.

    Good fried chicken, but all the other sides are pretty lackluster. My expectations might have been too high going into this.

The meatballs were well seasoned and were larger than my mom made when she was alive. the buns were toasted to perfection crunchy but not burnt.

If you didn't know about this spot, you might easily pass by without a second glance. Scozzafava's serves up authentic, classic Italian sandwiches that just slap. They use a soft sesame seed bun, which probably is the most unique part of the sandwich. For their marinara sandwiches, I wish they used a thicker bun to better absorb all the sauce. The sesame bun didn't keep its integrity, sadly. The meatball marinara was glorious! Slightly spicy, super moist meatballs, slightly sweet marinara, and perfectly paired with bitterness of the rapini. Don't forget the cheese pull! We also grabbed the classic Italian deli, which was scrumptious and very filling. You can't go wrong with either option, in my opinion.

We were en route back to Calgary from Banff and wanting to grab breakfast before our long flight back to Texas. My wife wanted the basic sandwich with bacon, but I was torn between the Meat Lovers and the Lobster. You know what? Why not both? I loved every bite of both of them and had absolutely no regrets about ordering two. They actually aren't that big, so it wasn't as crazy of an idea as I originally thought. My wife ordered the hash brown concoction, which I wasn't interested in, but actually regretted not adding onto my order too. It was actually a small hash brown sandwich with some kind of deliciousness in the middle. But I guess I had enough food as it were. We had two meals in Calgary - one on the way in before Banff and one on the way out. Both were great, and this one inspired me to one day open an egg sandwich shop in the next chapter of my life. I should do that, right?

One of my go-to places for lunches and as a soup connoisseur they are able to beat out most places by providing homemade soups instead of the typical generic Campbell's stuff you find in most delis. One thing I would like is for them to switch up and try their hand at making other soups because I have been here so many times the soups are getting slightly old (but still tastier and better value than Sunterra) TLDR: Soups good, specials can be good, sandwiches fresh, salad available.
