  These tenders are fat, juicy, and spicy. They’ve branched out since opening but their classic tender meal is still my go-to and a must have imo. Nashville light is perfect for the weak tummies in your family. Medium walks the edge between delicious and too spicy. Anything above that is for the crazy folk. The perfect way to balance the spice is with an extra side of their homemade pickles and street corn fritters. The shop itself is unremarkable and a bit stuffy but there’s plenty of nice outdoor seating at the shopping center it is located in.

  Its hard for me to rate this store. Came here a year ago and was super impressed: great chicken tenders that were large, reasonably priced meals, good amount of sauce per order, and the waffle fries were to die for! I came ever few weeks to quench my cravings! Im mainly giving this location a 4 star because within a few months they changed so much. The tenders are smaller and instead of meals they sell by the tender, they give you tiny sauce containers, and they got rid of their waffle fries. I finally found a place to treat myself for lunch every once and a while for a decent price and I feel like everything i loved about it changed... I know they are a new location, and things need to change after promotional periods but I feel like it was a bait and switch. When I asked others in my office(who also regularly went there) they said the same. Since, they pointed me to other restaurants, but it's just a shame.

  Heard they had an amazing chicken Caesar wrap and that’s what I was craving. But then saw their spicy Nashville hot sandwich and I love spicy so got it too. Flavors were amazing, probably one of the best chicken sandwich I’ve had. Staff was also insanely helpful and patient when I couldn’t decide what to get lol…

  Loved everything we ordered at Cluck Kitchen! The tenders were super crispy and juicy. I also love that they have so many delicious flavors to choose from. The hot honey was my favorite, the perfect mix of sweet with a little kick. The Nashville sandwich was also so good with a bold, flavorful heat that will definitely satisfy any spicy lover. We tried both the Standard (4 oz on a potato bun) and the Cluck (6 oz on a brioche bun), and I'd definitely recommend upgrading to the Cluck size if you're hungry or just want the ultimate fried chicken experience, it's so worth it. The curly fries were perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside, and fluffy with a great potato flavor. Don't skip the sauces either! The Cluck Sauce was our favorite, the tangy mustard flavor paired so well with the tenders. We'll definitely be back! Easy 10/10!! What we ordered: -Tenders (country fried, lemon pepper, hot honey) -The Nashville Sandwich (standard) -The Nashville Sandwich (cluck size) -Curly Fries -Cluck Sauce, Comeback Sauce, Ranch

  A Youtube reviewer rated it as one of the three best eateries in OC. Otherwise, I would never known this place right by John Wayne where I don't frequent. I am not sure of it being the best in OC, or even being Nashville. The filet is large and plump, the fries fried without overly salted. The hot level sauce seems like a duplicate of Hot Box in Anaheim. Anyway, the hot chicken sandwich is acceptably good despite not being what I anticipated and the server behind the counter puts the customer first, so I rate it a four.
