    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

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I throughly enjoyed the cashier, the decor, the MUSIC, and the just the chicken sandwich overall was incredible. The mild chicken sandwich was thick, crunchy, but had a great bounce to the chicken itself paired with a lightly seasoned slaw made it super balanced. I was surprised by how many fries there were as they were well seasoned too. While the cashier provided extra sauces, the sandwich and fries were so well seasoned and tasted great so I didn't need the extra flavor. I'd come again with other friends and family as this is a great step up from a regular fast food restaurant like Chick Fil A with so much more variety and flavor.

Walked in thinking, "How bad can medium be?" Bro... first bite and my tongue started filling out HR paperwork. It wasn't, like, call-the-ambulance hot, but it was definitely "question your childhood and your life choices" hot. Spicy but not crazy... just enough to make you sweat a little and pretend you're totally fine while your date watches you die inside. The sandwich is stacked like it's trying to overcompensate for something, thick chicken, slaw, sauce, the whole situation leaning out of the bun like it's yelling, "You sure about this, champ?" Fries were solid, nothing life-changing, more like the supportive friend hyping up the toxic main character (the chicken). Vibe-wise, it's very "we know you're only here because you saw us on TikTok." You stand there in line rethinking everything, but when that bag hits your hand, suddenly you're like, "Yeah, I'd do this again." Overall: 9/10 would let Angry Chickz ruin my mouth and my digestive system one more time.

I ended up with a burning mouth, and a runny nose from the level of spice. It even came down to scraping off the skin and spices to try to manage enjoying the center part of the chicken piece. Dear Hubby and I shared the #3 plate, which was one sandwich and one open-faced piece of chicken on a piece of Texas-style toast with a few pickle slices. It also came with a side of fries. We also added a side of rice (mistake - it was extremely bland and tasteless). Cole slaw might have been a better choice, and would have balanced the heat of the chicken. There were zero fountain beverages that I could enjoy. I don't drink caffeinated drinks, and I try to avoid copious amounts of sugar. I had water, and Dear Hubby got some root beer. The fries were quite delicious, and the amount provided was generous. That was a highlight of the meal, plus the dipping sauce for the chicken. The cashier was very friendly, so that was a plus and a good first impression. The interior restaurant space is really odd. They've laid it out so that two-tops are shoved up against one wall, and four-tops are shoved against the opposite wall, with an excessively large open space in the middle of the room. Seems like wasted space to me, and not visually interesting or welcoming. Farther across the room, away from the ordering stand and the kitchen, are several raised counters with barstools. DH and I ended up sitting at the end of one of those counter spots. We noted that there are other chicken spots very close by - Chick Fil-A, Zankou Chicken, Wing Stop, El Pollo Loco, this Angry Chickz place, and a Raising Cane's is going in to the spot previously occupied by Amy's. It's going to be chicken wars on two blocks of Moorpark Road!

From the moment you walk in, that amazing smell hits you like no other! Marcus, the owner, treated us like you're a regular, even on our first visit. Marcus was attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely excited about the menu. And the food? Absolutely next level. Marcus gave us samples of the chicken gumbo and from the moment it touched my tongue, I was sold. I got a 32 ounce Gumbo and let me tell you, it was plenty. Everything was perfectly seasoned and packed full with some much pride and flavor. You could tell Marcus and his wife are passionate about their business and the product they're putting out. In addition to the chicken gumbo, I got the cornbread with the honey butter. Let me tell you something, I must've died and went to heaven. One of my friends' grandmothers made corn bread back in the day and this made me think of those times. The cornbread wasn't dry and the honey butter just amplified it to the next level. My friends got the brisket po'boys and they were blown away by the flavor. The sandwich was packed full of brisket and was seasoned to perfection. We will definitely be back for another round as this was the best meal we've had in a while. Thank you Marcus!

Fried Chicken - 4 Star - I got two pieces. I am pretty sure they were deboned thighs. Seasoned and fried well with juicy meat and flavor in every bite. The fried batter texture is unique, very light and airy almost tempura-ish, but still crunchy, seasoned, and it highlighted the chicken rather then overpowering it. Shrimp Poboy - 4.5 Star - Absolutely nailed the shrimp on this one. Large, plump, seasoned and sauced exactly right letting that sweet shrimp meat really shine. The Cajun/Jerk Seasoning was great and the cabbage slaw took nothing away from it. The roll was thick so it held up very well, but it needed a bit more moisture to be perfect.
