The chicken was SO good--crispy, flavorful, and just done right. You can tell it's not rushed or basic. The mac and cheese... amazing! Super creamy, cheesy, and honestly just delicious. Also, the portions are huge so I was super excited about having left overs. If you haven't gone yet, go. It's 100% worth it and I'll definitely be back. read more

HIGH DESERT OMG this place is amazing!!! It might look crazy because it's inside of a gas station but it's definitely worth a try!! I also seen a drive thru so that can be beneficial if you don't wanna go inside. The portions of the food are so big here you can literally share. The chicken was so good it wasn't dry, wasn't undercooked or overcooked, and seasoning/crispiness was just right! FYI get the Holy Cluck seasoning. Don't get me started on how amazing the service was, Bryson one of the owners was so nice and kind to me and my husband! No one here was rude which was a plus. Give it a try! Promise you won't be disappointed. read more

I've tried this food twice, both times when the owner had a food truck, and unfortunately it was disappointing each time. The chicken tasted different on each visit, which made the quality feel inconsistent. The sandwich itself reminded me of an oversized McChicken from McDonald's, but without much flavor. The spice also seemed like it was just sprinkled on afterward from a bottle rather than properly seasoned or marinated, which didn't taste great. I honestly don't understand how this has become a full restaurant. Not trying to be hateful, just being real about my experience, but based on what I've had, I personally wouldn't expect this place to last very long. R spot is where it's at, only good Nashville chicken in the HD. read more

Get the banana pudding! I am obsessed with it. My family and I have gotten meals here several times, and I wanted to address some things: -Yes, it may take awhile to get your food. This is because they are making it fresh! Alot of places can quickly fry up frozen prepared chicken, but it won't taste as good as this. -If the price point seems a bit higher than you'd like, remember, the portions are very generous! You can easily have leftovers. Consider supporting smaller, family-run businesses like this read more

Love you guys!!! Best chicken sandwiches in the High Desert. But these new fries ain't it. Bring back the old fries!!! read more

That Mother Clucker - Pita chicken taco - Food Trucks Near Me - Hesperia, California

NO LIES!! NO SMOKE AND MIRRORS!! This is almost too good and too unbelievable that a hot chicken place like this even exists in California. From the mouth watering chicken, to the Mac and cheese to the banana pudding, All the food is hand made and award worthy. The portions are huge and every bite takes you on a journey of delicious sweet and heat kick! Their homemade spices are unbeatable. It almost sounds like I have stock in the place the way I'm carrying on. But no, I discovered this place almost by accident and it TRULY is that good. As an added bonus, I met the owner and some of their workers and it makes sense why the food is as good as it is. Cause they have mastered the art of customer service, care and take true pride in their art. They are the kinda people you wanna support. And believe me, if you like hot chicken, you will not disagree that this is nothing short of an artistic masterpiece of flavor. I almost don't wanna hype it up cause that means I might have to wait in long lines after long once the word gets out. But the food and people are just too good to keep this a secret all to myself. ENJOY!! And you're welcome in advance! read more

That Mother Clucker is hands down the BEST chicken in the High Desert. The chicken was moist, and seasoned to PERFECTION...service was good although we did take out. Definitely will be visiting again. read more

My husband just brought this home to me. He knows I'm a sucker for some Nashville Hot Chicken. I always compare to Hattie B's. Well....this blows Hattie B's out of the water! I like it hot so my husband ordered me the What the Cluck level. Bomb! The hot spice with the sweet finish.....absolutely delicious! This will be my go to spot when I have a craving. The Mac and cheese was good(I prefer Al dente) but the flavor was on point. The owner is super cool and knows what he is doing when it comes to Nashville Hot Chicken. I highly recommend supporting this place! read more

We must have come right when they first opened, because the wait was much longer than expected. The service was good, and the burger tasted great, but the prices are outrageous we ended up paying around $80. My husband wasn't really impressed with his meal either read more

I haven't been to their storefront yet, but I have visited their food truck four or five times now when it's at different local breweries. The chicken tacos are what keep me coming back lol. Definitely go easy on the spice level. Even the medium spice has a whole lot of kick and I'm not a pushover when it comes to heat lol. My son who loves heat went for their hottest and enjoyed it, but even he was getting a little red in the face lol. Their Smashburger is also really good as is the chicken burger. Service is always fast and friendly and it's always great to have an awesome new locally owned family run restaurant in town. Hoping to get over to their storefront really soon! read more

Best hot chicken in the high desert. The chicken sandwich? May or may not have let out a sheet gripping audible moan when I took the first bite. The chicken was perfect and not rubbery at all like other hot chicken places. Fries? Amazing. The mac & queso? So good. Will come back again and again and again. read more

Food took forever, some reason it was faster at the truck. Maybe they're adjusting to the new space. Preparation could be more efficient, the chicken was rubbery and the breading wasn't sticking to the meat. Basic ol shoestring fries with the standard season salt. Once they achieve that LA/KTOWN quality of super juicy moist flavorful perfectly xtra crispy fried chicken with real buttery high quality bun,home made slaw/pickles n done wit a lot of love down to the finest detail, things can go real far depending on how far you want it to. Still slight adjusting, but has potential read more

This is the best Chicken in the High Desert i can't wait until there shop opens in March 14 2026 but until then go follow them and pop up and try them on there truck you will not regret it . Go now and follow them On Facebook And Instagram. @MOTHER CLUCKER read more

Very friendly staff every time we come. Tried their pita tacos today and they were amazing! My son got their fries mixed with their mother clucker spice level....bomb! Portions are large as well compared to similar competitors. Will definitely continue visiting read more

This is incredible. They are at off the grid brewery in apple valley right now and we're just passing through but we were so excited to try it. I got the burrito, which sounded odd but piqued my curiosity- so glad I went for it. Did not disappoint- blew my mind actually. So. Damn. Good. My buddy ordered the tenders and fries and that was great as well. If you have the chance to get food from these guys- do it! You'd regret it if you passed it up. PS: sorry I didn't get a picture of my food- I was too busy devouring it. read more

Tons of food for the money and not as spicy as expected. I will be back. Sides are good

This chicken is HOTT in a good way. The chicken is nice and juicy and goes great with there home made ranch. The fries are seasoned to perfection and the mozzarella sticks got a great cheese pull! Highly recommend. read more

Let me start by saying they were absolutely amazing from the time I walked into the door to the time I left. I ordered the number 6 pita bread tacos it was some of the most flavorful Nashville hot I've tried in a long time the chicken was tender the pita was soft the coleslaw was on point and the pickles was just right. It was also a plus that the owner was very humble down to earth and had great people skills 10 out of 10 definitely recommend. read more

Best hot chicken in the High Desert! Tasty and spicy! Give them a try, you won't regret it.

Five stars isn't enough. That Mother Clucker is hands-down the best chicken we've ever had. So good, in fact, that we're ordering it for the second day in a row -- and we live in Washington. We're actually moving to California soon (Big Pine), and yes... this place is three hours away, but we will 100% be making the drive at least every other week because it's that worth it. The chicken is unreal -- perfectly cooked, insanely flavorful, and clearly made with care. Honestly, Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers has absolutely nothing on you. Thank you for doing such an amazing job. You've officially ruined all other chicken for us -- and we're not mad about it. read more

That Mother Clucker is hands down the best chicken food truck I've ever had. The food is consistently amazing, and you can tell how much care goes into everything they make. I called to place an online order and he was extremely helpful, friendly, and easy to work with, which made the experience even better. We've eaten his food at several events he's cooked at, and every single time it's been outstanding. By far our favorite place to eat whenever he's around. Highly recommend! read more

This is some of the best hot chicken I've ever had. I'm addicted. They're at 3rd Strike Beer Company on Thursdays...so basically so am I for the foreseeable future :) Love supporting small family-owned businesses especially when they deliver something of this quality. read more

Me and my friend were having drinks and Oak Hills Brewery when we saw their food truck outside. When I tell you this is the best damn chicken sandwich I've had, I mean THIS IS THE BEST BIG ASS CHICKEN SANDWICH I'VE EVER HAD. I picked a high level of spice, I was suffering but it was worth it I still couldn't stop eating it. You have to try this place. The double cheeseburger was ok but I can't judge it too much because I was already full from the chicken sandwich. I'll be back for sure. Service was amazing by the way. The kid working with them helped me out and he was very professional for his age. Gotta give him some credit. read more

Total strike out! Showed up 45-50 minutes after they opened and the Mac and cheese was still an hour from being done. Didn't get pickles or a roll which is advertised. The prices on The screen were different than what was charged Hair in the sauce (beard hair, I'm female without a beard) so half the food was uneaten. You guys a lot of work to do if you open that brick and mortar. read more

Simply marvelous. Best fried chicken this side of the Appalachians. !

Visited this place at Off the Grid Brewery. I skipped the hot stuff and opted for mild chicken pita tacos. Delish! The comeback sauce is the perfect compliment to the tots as well as the chicken. Hubs got the strips a little spicier with a side of coleslaw - super good! I could taste a hint of sweetness in the chicken rub, which really brought out all the delicious flavors. A nice young man delivered the orders - very polite! It's one of the best food trucks I've had the pleasure of visiting. 10/10 read more

The food is amazing! I've been here about 6 times and every time it's great. Never disappointed. The service is great, a polite young man always takes my order and brings me my order. When I preorder I always get a time when my food will be ready and it's correct. Overall love this food truck read more

The owner is very kind and inviting. I'm so glad I came to give this place a try the chicken was absolutely delicious and perfectly seasoned. I got the tender box with fries, the sauce complimented the chicken very well. I'm definitely going to be coming back again. read more

We used this food truck for a work event for 350 people and the food was so consistent and so good! I got the spicy chicken sandwich and the chicken on the sandwich was HUGE, which is what you want when you get a chicken sandwich. The sauce they give on the side was soooo good. Great place! read more

Had two orders of regular tenders (black pepper), one order of mildly hot tenders (light dusting of cayenne), and a side of cole slaw. This is real meat, not the fake "meat" sold by fast food chains. Everything tasted excellent, superb flavors, cooked just right, etc. We were also comped a banana pudding which was also excellent. It's costly to be an entrepreneur offering such top-notch food. In fact, as of the date of this review, the prices are about 40% higher than the menu posted in the pics here, e.g., chicken tenders appear to actually cost around $19 not $14, etc. It's well worth it. read more

The chicken was so bomb.. I am still thinking about it. Too bad they dont have a restaurant just truck. I would definitely recommend

A hidden gem in the high desert! The chicken was so juicy no matter what flavorful spice level you choose. Cool backstory and cool staff! read more
