    My friend couldn't wait to dig into her #5 Ten Nuggets
    Kristen A.

    Showed up at the perfect time and got to order right away. I'm thankful the menu isn't over complicated because everything looked so good I couldn't figure out what I wanted. The music was a little loud for my liking but that's alright. Friendly wait staff, although a tad slows the chicken was hot, crispy and flavorful, there's a place where I'm from called Dave's Hot Chicken which tries to copy this joint and they could learn a thing, or ten, from Hot Motha Clucker. My friend and I split the 10 piece nuggets with medium spice and some fries which were very satisfying!

    I love having Hot Motha Clucker in town. I drive up from Camarillo whenever I get a craving. It's worth the drive. George has always been so kind and friendly. The chicken is always fresh, perfectly seasoned and moist!!! But the mozzarella sticks are out of this world. I don't understand the magic or why they are so much better than anywhere else. But the delicious food keeps me coming back for more. I just wish you were in Camarillo. We could use an awesome hot chicken place here too. Keep up the good work George and I'll keep growing my Carolina Reapers, Scorpion pepper and more. LOL!!

    I don't say this lightly, but Hot Mother Clucker serves the best fried chicken I've ever had in my life. Yes, better than Dave's Hot Chicken. Better than Howlin' Ray's. And the best part? It's 100% Halal -- so you can dig in with full confidence and zero compromise. From the first bite, you know it's different. The chicken is juicy, perfectly seasoned, and fried to crispy perfection without being greasy. Their spice levels are on point -- flavorful without overwhelming the taste of the actual chicken. You can taste the quality and the care that goes into every piece. The sandwich? Unreal. Crunchy on the outside, tender on the inside, stacked with fresh pickles and their signature sauce that hits just right. It's crave-worthy. And if you're into tenders or wings, you're in for a treat too -- everything on the menu is consistently fire. What really sets Hot Mother Clucker apart is that they don't just ride the hype. They deliver. Every. Single. Time. If you're on the hunt for top-tier fried chicken that's Halal, local, and legit -- Hot Mother Clucker is it. No question.

    This is a chicken place, but we actually went for the smash burgers! The gentleman at the register and serving us was friendly. It's a little pricey, but everything is these days. I did find it a little odd they actually had a sign saying drinks were not included with the meal because or price increase. I found this a little surprising and kind of disappointing. Seems like prices could be adjusted slightly to include it in a meal versus feeling nickel and dimed. The burgers came out pretty quickly. My family had theirs plain. I had everything on mine, although it didn't come it right they fixed it immediately. Burger wet hot and flavorful. They seemed a little greasy, but that's probably why they had good flavor. The special sauce was tasty and their fries were 10/10! We really enjoyed the seasoning on them. It was fun they had a cup pong table and also a shuffle board game. The vibes were nice. Not a ton of seating inside, but it wasn't packed so we had no issues finding a table big enough.

    I really enjoyed the grilled cheese! Never tried a chicken grilled cheese like that and definitely would recommend. Also the sauce was a very tasty as well. We've been wanting to try this for while and glad we finally were around the area to try it for dinner. They have a good happy hour menu also but we stopped in for dinner. Sharing plates always helps to try more of the menu and would recommend sharing if possible but it's all good.

    Hidden in a plaza in TO, next to a nail salon and Nothing Bundt Cakes is HMC. Ambiance is very casual brewery like, except they have Nashville chicken and fries haha. It's a chill spot to have dinner. Staff was friendly and nice. Ordered a #7 which includes 2 chicken tenders (mild) and a load of fries and two sauces. The combos on the menu also come with a soft drink (not stated on menu) but they do which is great cuz we def need a drink with this type of food! Prices are pretty decent for the amount of food they give. Chicken was crispy and not dry. I was pleasantly surprised by how big the tenders were. Mild was just the right amount of kick but still enjoyable. Fries were crispy. Love that they didn't skimp out on sauces either. If I crave chicken tenders and fries, I'll def come back here!

    Chicken strips medium heat
    Serouj P.

    I don't eat hot chicken often, but when I crave it, I crave it hard--like a pregnant lady on a mission. Living in Agoura, options are slim and I hate driving over the hill, so I was excited to see a Nashville-style spot open up nearby in Thousand Oaks. I ordered the #7 Nashville Fry Up (medium spice), my wife got the #5 Tender Nuggets (country style, no heat), and my father-in-law went with the #4 Filthy Fries. The chicken tenders were...fine. The seasoning was solid and the crust tasted great--crunchy and flavorful--but the breading didn't stick to the chicken at all. As soon as I cut into it, the crust fell apart and ended up all over my fries. Not the worst thing flavor-wise, just messy and a little disappointing. The Filthy Fries were exactly what they sounded like--over-the-top in a good way--but nothing mind-blowing. My wife's country-style nuggets tasted like something we could've air-fried at home. Not bad, just not $15-worthy. We were the only ones in the restaurant (Monday around 4pm), and it still took about 10-15 minutes for our food, which makes me wonder what the wait would be like during peak hours. Service felt a little off too--I tried to make small talk and it just landed awkwardly. I want to give this place another shot because it's close and has potential, but overall, it was just okay. Not a bad option if you're in the area, but probably not worth a long drive just yet.

    Lunch was delicious! Was yelping around and found this place, came around 3:30 on a Sunday and place was dead (which was a good thing for us lol) The aesthetic of this place was on point . I'm sure it's popping during happy hour . I got the slider duo and it was very good . The sauce it comes with is the main character! Bomb ! My only complaint was when we were looking for a seat 80% of the tables were dirty . For being empty I would have expect the tables to atleast be clean but other than that it was a good experience. Grade : A

    Tried their #1 original combo and their Nashville tenders a la carte. Got Medium spiciness level for both. For me, the heat was perfect. It's spicy enough but not torturous. Chicken is still juice and seasoning is yummy too. The toasted bread is well-buttered and toasted. The fries are perfect thickness and crispiness. Service was great. Food came out in reasonable time and perfect temperature. Restaurant is clean and plenty parking outside.

    Decided to try this spot because there are only a couple of these locations and I am rarely nearby. I typically do not like tenders because they are often a dry flavorless hunk of meat and usually overrated. I'm so glad I tried these though because now I know how good tenders can be! Firstly, everything is cooked to order and comes out hot and fresh. For this reason I highly recommend ordering online for pickup or delivery if you're not planning to eat in the restaurant. With that said, I ordered a chicken sandwich, combo, medium heat and two tenders also medium heat. I almost ordered the hottest option but the cashier fair warned me that it was truly a heat that sneaks up and hangs around. I had my doubts but I'm glad I heeded his warning because the medium had a little sting to it that was slightly numbing, then a warm feeling that was comforting . So it is tolerable for those who like it a little hot yet still flavor driven. The tenders had a nice crispness along the edges and were literally tender, juicy, and oh so satisfying. I was blown away in every sense. The sandwich was enjoyable, quality products used, I just wish there was more cole slaw on it, there was only a few strands of slaw. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

    Speed of service: 0/5 Quality of service: 0/5 Food quality: 2/5 Value for dollar: 1/5 Overall 3/20 F This place is easy on the eyes but that's it. For first timers, before you order walk to the bathroom. That hallway smell is like throw up and human poop at the same time. It is FOUL. Next, the woman with the glasses who helped me order before I went to the bathroom is one of the most miserable people I have met. No manners, no customer service, just transactional monotonous tones. Not an ounce of friendly in her personality at all in a customer facing position. I came in alone with nobody in front or behind me. I ordered two meals. As my meals were being made by the woman in the back, both the order taker and cook were chatting away while my order was sitting pending. Groups of people started to arrive as my order took around 20 mins to finish being made. Over the course of 45 minutes, waiting for 1 fry, 1 Mac, and a sandwich, a full 9-10 orders were taken while my food sat on the kitchen desk waiting to be bagged and given to me. I hinted to the woman taking orders that my Mac might not be made correctly without spice in order to get her attention to my food. She inspected the Mac, said it was okay, then placed my food back on the waiting table. The whole order was ready. She knowingly had me wait longer than necessary, despite being equipped with the knowledge that I was there for a LONG time. I waited 45 mins and gave her an opportunity to bag my food and get me out of there. Again, when I ordered I was ALONE in the shop. The ridiculousness of this doesn't end there. The food is absolutely terrible. The fries taste gross and look/feel like cardboard. Picture attached. There is no redeeming quality of this place. If you want better hot chicken, angry chicks is up the street.

    Original Motha Clucker Sandwich
    Alyssa A.

    I'm all about finding a good tender place, so I was super excited to hear about this restaurant. I didn't realize I had passed this place many times without realizing it was even here. First off, love the vibe of the restaurant. While waiting for our food, we had a lot of fun playing shuffleboard. Feels like it would be a good place to come for dinner, grab a beer, and play the game. The chicken sandwich was delicious! The chicken was so juicy with the perfect spice level. Combined with the soft bread and tasty sauce, it was exactly what a chicken sandwich should be. Fries could use a bit more seasoning, but the seasoning is a great compliment to the fries. And they give you a boatload of fries! We also grabbed a chicken tender order, and we found the typical spice levels to be pretty accurate. The tenders are also surprisingly large, so a good amount of quality chicken for the money. Compared to the sandwich, even though it's good, I'd rather order just the tender meal - feels like a better bang for your buck. Overall, I was super pleased with the experience here and am happy to have found a new, good chicken tender place!

    Great comfort food option overall! The inside is small but decorated very well, which makes it inviting. I went in the middle of the day so the bar area and game section were not busy, but I think the atmosphere has potential later hours in the evening. The service was good! It is a fast casual type of spot, but the employee working at the time answered some questions I had and took time to talk to me while I was waiting. On that note, I think there was only one cook during lunch time. And it did take time for my food to come out, also assuming it is fresh and made to order.

Hate to break it to you but no one in the room of 60+ people was disappointed when our quizmaster told us that we wouldn't be having trivia at the crown and anchor anymore. There were even a few cheers! and we didn't miss a single trivia night because he had pre arranged to switch our wednesday night trivia to a different restaurant that although it is an even further drive for me and my team, the food is much better, completely consistent and ownership of the restaurant takes pride in the product they put out. We have been asking our quizmaster for years to find an alternative to the crown and anchor.... We go to wednesday night trivia because we love the quality of the quiz and we suffer through your food as a sort of "necessary evil" and you can accuse me of not approaching you personally when there was a problem with a meal but the fact of the matter is that I have approached your managers several times with issues (like when the iced tea had no flavor or the fries tasted like they were cooked in filthy oil or the chili breadbowl was stale) and those same managers (multiple) said that you weren't there and you didn't really care about the product the crown and anchor put out. you could have just apologized for my negative experience but instead you accused me of lying and slander. And just because you manage to stay in business doesn't mean that you are putting out good/consistent product.

    As a Yelp Elite Squad member, I'd been fortunate enough to attend a special event at Selvin's many…read moremonths ago. I'd been wanting to go back and take Dear Hubby to enjoy this very special re-imagining of the previous space, which had been an Irish pub incarnation. When our sister-in-law and two nieces were in town, the five of us were able to spend a quick evening together at Selvin's. We had been working on a project at our house, and by the time we got finished and ready to go out there wasn't a lot of time left as we went on a weeknight and they close at 9:00. I'm surprised that having a full bar, and being attached to a hotel property, that they would hang it up so early - even 9:30 or 10:00 would make more sense. It's such a charming place; seems a shame to have to call it a night so early. The ambiance is absolutely divine, especially out here in suburbia. It's very innovative in its layout. The lighting was carefully planned and is very effective in creating a special mood. And, what can be said about the wall of roses? It's tailor-made for snapping fun photos, that's for sure. The chef is sending out creative and Dee-Licious dishes from the kitchen. Yes, I know how to spell delicious, but it is worth adding the accented flair to stating the fact that this is a cut above many other dining establishments in the Conejo Valley. Dear Hubby and I shared Pappardelle Pasta and a Tuna Tartare appetizer. Both were excellent. One of our nieces ordered the taco platter. Wait till you see the photo. The only thing that was disappointing, menu-wise, was that bread wasn't included, so we ordered some as a side. Two little slices. I've forgotten the price, but I recall that it turned into sticker shock when we saw what was served. I'm tickled that they offer a nice array of zero proof cocktail options. They aren't inexpensive - apparently spirits without alcohol aren't any less (or maybe only slightly less?) than the full-spirited options. Still, it's nice to have the option. Our out of town family members LOVED Selvin's; it was a big hit with all of us. As an added bonus, there was a guitarist playing beautiful acoustic music when we arrived and were seated in the lounge area. Major extra credit!

    Selvin's is serving up the epitome of "girl dinner" so the bestie and I had to make a trip to check…read moreit out for ourselves. What is girl dinner you may ask? It's the perfectly curated trio - Dirty Martini, followed by a well dressed crisp Cesar salad, and perfectly hot Truffle French fries. That's girl dinner in a nutshell (trust us on this combo). On their speciality menu it's called "Martinis and Munchies for Two" for $49. An amazing deal split between two friends. Dirty Martini: Some of the best ice cold martinis on this side of town. These cocktails were crafted to perfection and were always a sucker for the blue cheese stuffed olives. Tossed Cesar Salad: A Cesar salad during these hot summer months always hits the spot. Crisp, cold and fresh. The dressing was solid but I must highlight the lightly scattered capers on this salad - so smart and so tasty! Truffle French Fries: After a few martinis these French fries come in clutch. Crispy, hot and perfectly salted - who doesn't love a French fry and an aioli with a kick. Honorable Mention: PASTA. I was very impressed with my pasta dish here. Ordered the pappardelle bolognese and this pasta was a 10/10. Perfectly cooked ribbons of pasta with a hearty meat sauce and the Stracciatella topping sealed the deal for me on this pasta. We had a fabulous girls dinner from start to finish. The ambience at Selvin's is truly magical and we just love the decor and bar area. We had a cozy little booth to ourselves and the service was top-notch from start to finish. Extra kudos to Claudia for being a bubbly, lovely girls girl who was super attentive to us during our meal and made the night A+. Can't wait to come back soon.
