3. One Slider & 1 Tender & Fries Combo ($15.95) Bland AF

Joe P.

We stopped by FC inside Liberty Public Market to grab lunch. I'm not sure of the allure of LPM. The food at FC was mediocre, and the other eateries did not look appealing. The chicken and fries were bland. Secondarily, I asked for hot sauce as one of my free sauces. I was given Cholula: Palm to face. Lastly, I put S & P, and Cholula on the fries and they could not be rescued. Fries should be seasoned straight out of the fryer. The service was fast, and the woman who served us was nice. All the eateries at LPM don't have their own seating. You find a communal place to sit and eat. In this case we found a bar, and I grabbed an overpriced beer. All in all, a ho hum experience at LPM and FC. I will not return.

Great spot! Welcoming, friendly service. Right inside Liberty public market. From the main entrance by the outdoor patio seating, head straight. You'll see the communal table seating, turn right and it'll be on the right hand side. Tap to pay. Choose your spice level & dipping sauce. Luvd the light, airy, crispy, fluffy battered chicken all tucked inside a toasty bun with butter pickle, house sauce and coleslaw on the side cuz I want my chicken extra crunchy. There's a lot of choices here at the market this is one to definitely visit for a good chicken slider. It's just the right size so you can have room left over for dessert.

We wanted to visit Liberty Public Market and I found a chicken restaurant inside. First the Liberty Public market was fantastic and eclectic and had a ton of different eateries and shops inside. So glad we stopped by. I found Fluster Cluck And saw the happy hour jumbo slider and knew I had to try it. The house sauce was great. The heat was good (I chose mild and I think my wimpy tastebuds could have even handled medium) the slider was very large for a slider so the portion was quite generous. The chicken was quite good and the breading had a very good satisfying and lasting crunch. I was so pleasantly surprised about the great taste of this chicken burger that it has made it up to #4 on my list. You gotta give Fluster Cluck and liberty public market a try.

Stopped by in Liberty Station since it was next to Slurp and my son had the buffalo fries which he really enjoyed and Josie was a pleasure to order from.

It was ok. We ordered tenders with fries and piece of toast. We asked for mild and the chicken tenders were well seasoned. However, the fries had no flavor whatsoever. You had to use the dip or else you're going to feel like you're eating cardboard. You get two sauces per order anymore is extra. We ended up using the sauce for the fries.

Can't go wrong with some fried chicken. This spot was delicious and the portion of fries was HUGE. Super tasty. I like the different dipping sauce options offered.

We tried so many different foods while at the public market. This was a hit with the teens. Very tasty and lots of cheese sauce. The chicken was well flavored and we enjoyed the crispy fries. We like the sauces that came with it as well.

Cheesy chicken fries. Honey mustard and house sauce on the side.

Food It's okaaaaay. It's not bad, but it's nothing worth raving about either. With so many hot chicken choices around the city, you could easily find better tasting one. That said, they have decent hot chicken. The skin is crispy, I got the Hot level and it was mildly hot to me. It doesn't taste like a typical Nashville hot chicken, more like a peppery spicy chicken. I got the cheesy chicken fries, which is a bed of crinkle cut fries with nacho cheese reminiscent of movie theater nacho cheese, pieces of chicken and a sprinkle of spring onions (didn't go well with the taste imo). The fries themselves were plain, but they have salt and pepper where you pick up your food. For each meal, you're allowed to choose 2 sauces. I tried the house sauce and the honey mustard. I liked the honey mustard. Satisfying portion. When you order, you're asked for your phone number so you can receive a text when it's ready. Because this is a stall inside the market, you can just pick up your food when it's ready and have it wherever you want. I recommend sitting outside and enjoying the sun if it's a nice sunny San Diego day.

Took a chance on a jumbo slider. Big mistake. Will not return. Enjoy your: - cold bun - reheated chicken (clearly not freshly fried) - incorrectly applied spice (isn't Choose Your Own the entire point???) - unmelted chese

Absolutely worth the visit to Liberty Public Market! I've been to this market before when I visited San Diego but I can't remember what I got last time. BUT I'm not forgetting this place. They had affordable prices, perfectly fried chicken with an amazing spice - plus sauces!! They text you when your order is ready which allows you to walk around and the staff was great too! There is seating everywhere at the market - both inside and outside. I had the #1 which included two crispy chicken tenders, American cheese, slaw, bread & butter pickles, Nashville comeback sauce, and crinkle cut fries. I just wish there was one in Austin, TX.

(Military meal deal) 3. One Slider & 1 Tender & Fries Combo

Katie H.

OHHH MYYY GOSSSHHHH. This place is certainly no "fluster cluck". I am picky with my fried chicken. Perfectly crispy and seasoned; deliciously tender, juicy, greasy underneath. Absolute perfection. Their house-specialty sauce (forgot the name!) was sooo drool-worthy. Customer service was fine. I love that they text you when your food is ready. Best of all? The price! The food is so affordable for a touristy spot. Paid about $11 for their military meal deal that included a super big slider, a tender, and tons of fries. I was blown away - totally figured it'd be more expensive. Will absolutely be back!!!

Kannica C.

The portions are very generous here, which I appreciated given the price point is a little high. Because there's so many hot chicken spots in San Diego, I wouldn't recommend this one. I ordered the cheesy chicken fries, and the cheese really brought the overall rating of this place down. It did not pair well with everything going on in the plate, and has a strange artificial taste to it. I'd really recommend that they switch up the cheese used in this, because from what I'm seeing, other people agree. Our cashier was very friendly and helpful though, definitely a reason I wanted to check out the food. Liberty station has plenty of other options, with better food and ambiance. Will not be returning!

Shot out to Jocy for an amazing service. She was kind and patient when i was trying to decide what to get. Food overall is good.

Inside the Liberty Public Market, they're a little tucked away but worth looking for. Great tasting chicken at a pretty good price point. It'll hit the spot when you've got that spicy chicken sandwich hankering (and better than another chain that might not be open when you want it...) The chicken is excellent... perfectly moist and tender, but with a beautiful crispy crunchy fried crust. The spicy levels are pretty accurate, I got the hot which packed a little heat - I'd probably go one step higher next time. The chicken comes in generous portions and it goes so well with in their sandwich. The sauce is a delectable addition, must have! I only wish there were a little more pickles... but that's a me thing. The crinkle cut fries are an excellent companion, good crunch and soft interior, just what you'd want in thicker fries. I recommend dipping them in the sauce too! Staff was quick and friendly, made the whole transaction real smooth. It's the public market so not many places to sit in the immediate vicinity but it's Liberty Station! You'll find a good spot. read more

This was a small hole in the wall place at liberty station. Chicken was cooked fresh, and you got to pick the sause. I got teh BBQ as it seemed like a safe bet. The meal was ok. It wasn't bad but nothing really made it stand out to me. Maybe a bit salty. It was ok for the price, and libnerty station seems to be a bit expensive for what you get in general no matter which place you get lunch at. read more

I think the pictures on the menu are a bit misleading. It looks like Nashville hot chicken (red all over) but it's more just normal fried chicken with a dusting of paprika seasoning. To be fair the worker said it wasn't nashville but similar but even so this was meh for me. There's something about the breading that makes it separate from the chicken. read more

During our San Diego adventures we stopped at Liberty Public Market this cool open market with a lot of food choices and everyone got to customize their lunch experience, mine? I got some hot chicken!! Actually I got the hot chicken fries. Which was really good, crispy chicken, crispy fries and crunchy bacon bits with cheese. I really enjoyed my lunch and the portion is more than one person should eat. Good service and they were generous with their sauces which some places aren't. My only complaint is I got medium heat and there wasn't any, and someone I was with got their hottest chicken and he called it "a breeze." Don't get me wrong it was really good but if you want it spicy maybe tell them. read more

I have tried my share of hot chicken places over the years. I definitely recommend that you give the tenders, fries, and come back sauce a try if you are at the food market. Food: - Tender 4/5: Well-marinated and tender piece of meat. I chose mild, which carries just enough kick to make me tear up - Slider 3.5/5: I don't think the bun was anything special. And the slide of cheese wasn't melted. Hence a lower score than the tender. I did like the tangy crunch of the slaw, but probably not enough to order another slider in the future. -Comeback sauce 5/5: I really liked the creamy tangy flavor of the sauce. It went well with the fries and the tender. -Fries 5/5: Hot and crisp on the outside, fluffy potato in the middle. Delicious to eat with and without the sauce as they were perfectly seasoned. Price 4/5: Actually quite reasonable considering all the other restaurants in the food market with their significant upcharges. I feel that the price was comparable to other hot chicken restaurants Service 5/5: Very friendly and efficient service Venue 5/5: We came around 11AM when the market opened and there was tons of parking as well as both indoor and outdoor seating. There is a clean restroom with many stalls, as well as a random sink outside the restrooms with leg pedals for the water if you just want to wash your hands. read more

Gave Fluster Cluck a try after passing it many times while visiting the Liberty Station Public Market. The menu is simple, but offers good options. I ordered some of the cheesy chicken fries, spice level hot. It was about a fifteen minute wait. The order had a big portion, and I was given the option to pick a couple of sauces. (I went with the house bbq sauce). The food was hot, loaded with chicken and a cheesy sauce, with plenty of house sauce drizzled all over. Great flavor/heat and crisp for the chicken, great fries, and a flavorful house sauce. A good spot to check out in the Public Market, well worth the price for how much food you get! read more

Cannot emphasize how much I loved the fries. Unlimited sauce too and wide selection. We got ranch, honey mustard, and honey. Spice level for the chicken was not actually that spicy. We got hot, and it was more like mild. Very yummy though, especially with the honey. Food came out within 10 minutes of ordering, we went around 7pm on a Thursday and lines were short. Grabbed a table outside the market, plenty of seating. read more

What a Fluster Cluck! LOL Such an awesome name!!! This little spot in Liberty Station was pretty good. This review is closer to a 3.5 than 4 but for the discount they offer I upped it to a 4 star. LOL The service was great. The prices are good. The chicken was so tender! I ordered the meal with 1 tender and 1 sider, medium heat. The chicken was prepared so well. I have been on a perfect fried chicken search this year and am trying it everywhere I can. This was the best prepared chicken, juicy and tender and cooked thoroughly. The chicken did lack some seasoning flavor and crunch. It was a bit oily. The slider was pretty good with the house sauce and a little slaw. I tried the ranch sauce and honey mustard and both were ok. The fried were pretty good. I would like to try this place again and see if the chicken is a little crunchier and less oily, without sacrificing the tenderness. For the price this was a very good meal. read more

Fluster Cluck Hot Chicken is a fast food type restaurant that serves Nashville-style hot fried chicken. I love a good spicy chicken sandwich so it was a must when we visited Liberty Public Market in San Diego. On the menu are sliders, tenders, salad, fries, and chicken and waffles. The fried chicken is covered with a dry rub and you can choose your spice level from No spice to Cluckin' Hot! We arrived just in time for their happy hour which got me a $5 slider that was huge. If you got hit by the spicy fried chicken sandwich craze, this should be your next stop! read more

Could be a great sandwich but the bun was cold, firm and quite dry. A warm, soft brioche bun would make this so much better. But overall it was pretty unenjoyable because of the bun. But the chicken was seasoned nicely and cooked good - not dry. Hope they change the bun. read more

Little hot chicken spot in LPM. Reminded me of the fair with the colors and posters of their food. For starters, their computer system was down when we arrived around 11:30. So that may be the reason as to why they were flustered and didn't have the best service. So, I get it. Anyways, food came out pretty quickly and really good and hot. We ordered medium heat (3) and it was perfect. The meal we ordered came with a slider, tender and crinkle cute fries + two dipping sauces. The chicken was yummy! And such large pieces! The tender, I swear was a chicken breast! The slider was good. Soft bun, large piece of hot chicken, slaw and pickles! Crinkle fries were good and sauce was like Raising Canesish. Nothing crazy. Lots of food for $15! read more

Nothing too special, no lines, a little slower service but I think they make it to order, freshly fried...fries are good. It doesn't disappoint and I think the spicy level is based on the American taste bud, so get the hottest if you enjoy heat. read more

The BEST Nashville Hot Chicken on the West Coast (so far). I love Nashville Hot Chicken, and I am quite picky. Fluster Cluck had an authentic taste and sauce. I ordered HOT, and could easily go the hottest next time. If you are only looking for heat, this may not be the spot, but if you're looking for taste, this is the place. read more

Pretty good hot chicken. If you love Nashville hot chicken, this is a good place to try. I still haven't had better than main chicken hot chicken though. I enjoyed my slider here with the fries. Chicken is really crispy. Usually hot chicken has a bit of a crisp but this one was really crunchy. Not sure if I liked that so much. But I ordered the mild and it truly was mild. Had a small kick to it but wasn't spicy at all! The fries are crinkle fries and they were also good. They text you when your order is really. I liked that idea since we walked around to see what else the public market had to offer. Parking is a huge lot with plenty of spaces. Even EV charging spots are available read more

Fluster Cluck is one of the newer stands in LPM and offers a very simple menu of fried chicken options. I ended up ordering the chicken and waffle and the combo 1 which includes 2 sliders and crinkle cut fries. The owner was really sweet and gave us a bunch of different sauces to try like their house sauce and this interesting honey one. I thought the chicken and waffles was delicious and the sliders were HUGE, so the portions were extremely generous. The fries were also really good and the house sauce was my favorite. The only thing I didn't love was the chicken itself was super duper crunchy to a point that it kind of hurt my mouth to eat?? so maybe easing up on that, but otherwise I had a fantastic experience here! read more

I've been screaming their praises from the rafters for years now, but some of y'all still ain't hearing me. Main Chick is my main chick, and we're cuffed up like the pants on a Gen Z'er. The chicken tenders are fat, always fresh, virtually always juicy, and seasoned like a 20 year veteran. The crinkle cut fries are beautifully crisp and heavenly dusted with that sweet and spicy goodness. The ranch and MC sauces are bangin' to boot. You can't execute all of that meticulous perfection without the care and attention of the staff, so my extreme appreciation goes out to each and every one of them. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, and my belly. See you this afternoon friends! For those of you keeping score, yes that's twice this week. Don't judge.

Combo doesn't include a drink The chicken tenders were alright, but they did not come with a sauce cup. A little cup of ranch was $1.07 more. 2nd meal was a Combo 1 spicy, which is a white meat chicken sandwich with coleslaw and pickles, a chicken tender, and fries. And the same tube of sauce for the chicken tender sandwhich... $15.99. FYI this is a combo that does not include a drink, had I know that I would have gotten the dark meat chicken sandwhich. As a drink is $3, so it would make a combo 1 with a drink just about $20 with tax. Absolutely not worth it. It had some spice and not much flavor. Why they used a chicken strip and not the chicken portion listed was quite odd. But they did add a 2nd tender. I was not impressed with the 3 tenders and little bun that I had. The fries were a decent portion but over seasoned. Both ordered slaw on the side and extra pickles. That turned into 1 side of pickles for $0.99. The quality of food did not match the price. It lacked flavor and just not something I'd get again. The cashier was on her phone the entire time I was there often while customers waited for her attention. Also the tables are all dirty and the trash was overflowing when entering the building not a good look . Definitely will not be returning there is better places

No complaints on that front. I ordered the 6-piece garlic wings (non-breaded). The wings came out freshly cooked and warm, with a decent crisp for being unbreaded. Portion size was solid. The garlic flavor was there, but overall the taste didn't really impress. They leaned overly salty for my preference, which took away from what could've been a stronger execution. Atmosphere is pretty much what you'd expect from the rest of the food hall -- standard, nothing particularly memorable. Price-to-portion felt slightly on the higher side, especially considering the flavor didn't quite deliver. Not a bad experience, but not one that makes me eager to return immediately. I might try a different flavor down the line, but for now, it's a pass.

But, I'd started to hear about it and didn't realize this storefront was once a OB Farmers Market staple! They've got one thing on the menu. You guessed it, Chicken Over Rice. You choose your base of rice, greens or pita. They have spicy or regular chickpeas and chicken. Then, you pick your toppings like pickled onions, pepperoncinis, lettuce and sauces. Simple but super flavorful! Everything is well seasoned and it's got that nice dankness to the bowl, while still remaining refreshing. The bowl runs around $17 so not cheap, but given how large the portion is, it's a good deal. Can easily make for about 1.5 meals!

The overall cuisine is closer to Mediterranean not so much Mexican flavors. They are a no frills shop as they only offer chicken in 3 different flavors. The food itself tastes great, very fresh and clean ingredients. Overall, a satisfying and healthy meal for me. Street parking is abundant and they have seating inside. I'll have to knock down the rating 1 star just because compared to CAVA and chipotle the options here are quite limited (chicken being the only protein) which is completely fine if you just want chicken. Also I think $17 is quite the hefty price for one bowl HOWEVER, they do really give bigger portions here so at least that makes me feel better about spending almost $20 on a bowl. This is located in Ocean beach, a neighborhood in San Diego that doesn't have too many options so this will be the best next thing to getting chipotle and cava. I think if I lived here I would come quite often but not worth it in my opinion to drive all the way here.

The "Just the Tip" tri tip burger is MASSIVE and needs to be deconstructed in order to eat - the flavor is there but it's also just very chewy. They recently came up with a Tri-Tip bowl which comes with broccoli, sweet potato and chimichurri sauce... GAS! AND ITS HEALTHY AF - it's been my latest obsession.
