If you have never had a Korean Corn Dog (KCD), this is the place to change that. The last few years have seen an influx of food trucks doing Korean Friend Chicken. Few of those trucks do the dogs but at Clucking Dog you get the best of both these worlds. At first blush, the KCD is a corn dog who has been working out. Bigger than the traditional American State Fair fried food favorite, KCDs are distinct with the core potentially being cheese versus a beef dog. The differences do not stop there. Batters are commonly potato and, a first for me, Ramen!!!. Then there's the outside. My favorite is the brightly hued, orange dusted exterior, perfect for an Oregon State Beaver-lover to wave. This cheeto-dust helps add another snack favorite to the mix. We went with the all cheese, Ramen, and cheetos dusted treat. Our KCD was perfectly done. The crunch of the outside gives way to the warm ooze of the cheese. The temperature was just right allowing the elasticity of the cheese to stretch and give, expanding to a near two foot long tightrope from mouth to bitten dog. This was a tasty dog and was better than the KCDs I have had in Los Angeles. Do not forgot to add KFC to the mix. The chicken (I had the 5 piece) was a perfect balance to the dog. Once more, it was some of the best KFC I have eaten. Crunch or the outside, tender meat on the inside coming easily of the bone, the juices trapped in the crust waiting to be released on your bite. As a savory lover, the garlic breath was the right sauce, soy, sweet, garlic, brushed on to not drown but highlight the crunch and flavor of chicken. read more

Waited 45 min for our order and got a doughy corndog. One young kid was trying his best to do it all alone. Not fair to him. The fried chicken was good though. read more

I came to the Barn, where this is located, specifically with this place in mind. I walked up to the counter when it wasn't busy, there was no line, and I was ignored. The staff saw me and remained in the back of the truck as I stood there for 3 minutes. I ended up not spending any money at the barn and went to subway across the street instead. The food is excellent here, I just wish I could have gotten some. read more

Very faint hot Cheeto taste and the batter tasted super oily. The cheese is great and the hot dog tastes like a Costco hot dog which I liked read more

Cluckin Dog - Hot Cheeto dog. Half mozzarella half hot dog - Food Trucks Near Me - Albany, Oregon

So this is a food cart that's attached to the Barn at Hickory Station. I saw it the last time we came here, but decided to pass then (mostly because there was a line in front of the window). This time I decided to give it a shot. The premise is corndogs, with or without a hunk of mozzarella cheese in it. There were several menu options, as well as a build your own. To build your own, you decide between all hot dog, all mozzarella, or half and half. Then you choose the coating: panko crumbs, potato, or ramen. After that, you can pick a "dusting." Sugar, hot Cheeto powder, or cheddar cheese powder. Then you pick ketchup, mustard, and/or mayonnaise as a drizzle over the top. They also have Korean fried chicken, with different kinds of sauces: spicy, garlic, honey BBQ, or buffalo. I went for the OG Dog. Half-Cheese/Half-Hotdog, rolled in panko and "dusted" with sugar, then a drizzle of ketchup. I opted not for the mustard that's suggested, as I'm not a mustard fan. I thought about it a while, thought about how it was a six dollar corn dog, and without thinking, ordered two. I also got a side of waffle fries. What I received was...well, I had to take a picture. The corn dogs themselves were massive. I don't know what they used as a the basis for the cheese, but it wasn't a skinny cheese stick, that's for sure. The batter was coated in crispy, deep-fried panko, and then it was COVERED in sugar. This was no dusting...this was a fried hunk of food rolled in a pan of sugar. Then a very aesthetic back-and-forth pattern of ketchup over the top. My partner, who was eating shrimp, had a half-horrified, half-amused look on her face when I got my tray. She asked what I was thinking; I said I didn't know. But what the heck. Eating this thing is an adventure in just getting it into your mouth. I'm not kidding when I say it was huge. I took a big bite off the top; I got mostly batter, panko, sugar, and ketchup. It was interesting. I don't know how else to put it. I held off deciding just then and went for another bite. Then I got a huge mouthful of cheese with everything else. I kind of expected the cheese and hot dog to be side-by-side but they were not; they were stacked end on end, hot dog near the base of the stick. My partner asked what I thought. It truly defied my expectations of speech. Language failed me. So I said: "The first bite tasted like a sugar donut, covered in ketchup." "Uh huh." "The second bite tasted like a cheese-filled sugar donut covered in ketchup." No kidding, I thought of a sugar donut where, instead of custard filling inside, it was cheese. And the sharp acidity of ketchup. I kept on going. Eventually I got through the cheese and into the hot dog. It was your standard hot dog. Also stuffed inside a sugar donut. My partner had tears in her eyes as I relayed this to her. She asked if it was any good. Truthfully, at the time, I said, "I honest to god don't know." So, she changed tact. "Would you get it again?" You know what, I would! It was so unusual. Common ingredients but put together in a new way, and very well done. The cheese was VERY good, the fry was excellent, not greasy or soggy. The coating was crispy and had a nice crunch to it, and the sugar made every bite sweet, but also savory. And the ketchup, as I said, had a real good acidity to it. Honestly, it had balance. But it also made me think of fair food. But in a good way! I did NOT expect to be having this for dinner when we came into the place that night. The flip side: I assumed it would be a narrow corn dog. After I ordered and sat down, I looked at my partner and said, "I think mistakes were made." After I ordered, I got a glimpse of someone else's and realized that the things were massive. Huge. I was thinking it would be more in size like those frozen ones from the grocery store. In the end, I ate all of one and a little over half the waffle fries. I started on the second one and realized; this was too much. I wasn't hungry and I didn't want to stuff myself. Plus, this food is -heavy-. Very heavy. All in all, very well-done food with a pretty interesting concept. I don't know how accurate it is that these are Korean Style Corndogs, done nationally in Korea, but I can buy the story. I think my kids would get a kick out of this and it's definitely something fun to try. Go into it like a kid trying something new and you'll probably have a good time. But stick to just getting one and go back for another if you want. I'm not kidding about how big these things are. read more

showed up at the barn, food was delayed by 45 minutes, they call the "dog" an"angry dog but it had no hot dog in it, it was straight oil fried with nasty oil, and just cheese inside... thats very misleading naming it "angry dog" without a hot dog being it? who the heck wants just cheese inside bun that isn't even cooked! straight up disgusting! worst place ever boycott! read more

Everybody loves food on a stick! The Cluckin Dog provides that in spades. This is a food truck located at The Barn. In addition to dogs on sticks they also do fried chicken which we did not have a chance to try. These Korean inspired dogs are coated with a mochi batter and various other add-ons depending on the particular version ordered. We tried the OG Dog which is a half hot dog/half mozzarella stick creation dipped in mochi batter and panko, fried, rolled in sugar, and drizzled with sauces. The Knobby Dog is a full sized hot dog dipped in mochi batter, rolled in potato cubes, fried, dusted with cheddar powder and drizzled with sauces. Both were interesting and tasty. If we can, we'll come back to sample the fried chicken as well. read more

Wonderful experience at Cluckin' Dog! We came out of the way from Salem to try these out and were not disappointed! The service was phenomenal. The gentleman who took our order was the same person hand crafting our customized dogs. These were absolutely delicious and enjoyed waffle fries as well from them. Will definitely be coming back! read more

Some of the most creative Korean corn dogs I've had. And one of the best Korean chicken wings I've had in the area so far. Highly recommended. read more

Honestly it was very good. Best place I have found in the area. The wait was decently long but worth it. The employees were very kind & helpful. My friends and I shared the 4 pack box and were impressed. I also love the area & all of the food trucks surrounding, fun place to go with friends & family. Will be back again! read more

If you're into trying something different, go here! I've tried the bumpy dog and the OG (along with waffle fries) and they make you think while you're tasting these creations! There's alot going on with the flavors, and some things you don't think will work, but they do! Also a quick tip, make sure to scan the code on the truck so you can order without waiting in line. Have fun! read more

The food is amazing. The flavors that come out from the OG dog was filled with umami. The cheese pull was just what you'd want from this dog. It's one of those items that makes me want to eat more than one, even though it was big enough to fill my hunger! The owner is always so happy and great with their service, just making sure we are well taken care of. read more

I actually really like their food. But I was just there, I'll admit the barn was slow cause it's Thursday at 4:00pm but I waited there for a good 15mins and no one came by. I get going to the bathroom so I walked around but it felt really long and so I left. Still great food just an odd wait time. Slow, no one was in the cart, and it said open with lights and everything and order window open. read more

This place is amazing! My husband and I have been wanting to try Korean corn dogs for awhile, so this was our chance to try them. We got the bumpy dog and it was delicious! The wings are also amazing and I'm picky about wings! I highly recommend this place, it won't let you down! read more

AMAZING. My family tried their wings with the spicy sweet sauce, garlic breath, and ginger BBQ and all three were FANTASTIC. My husband and daughter also tried their corn dogs and had nothing but good things to say. Highly recommend and cannot wait to go back. read more

I have long lamented not living where I could get a good hot dog since I moved out of Chicago back in the seventies. Technically, these are corn dogs with a cool twist. I had the Bumpy Dog. The beef frank was juicy and quite tasty. It was also huge. Well worth the $7. read more

Tasty corn dog. Unique approach. I'm looking forward to trying the fried chicken and kimchi!
