Cluck Clucks Chicken — Restaurant in Toronto

WAFFLES ARE REVOLUTIONIZING THE FRIED CHICKEN GAME AND CLUCK CLUCKS IS NAILLLLLLINGGGGG IT !!! if you have any doubts about coming here, SQUASH THEM because this place is DELECTABLE. the place looks a bit dilapidated from the outside but gosh the food is delicious, and the staff are really wonderful. portions are also large and you will leave stuffed !!! (i really wish i could’ve tried the deep fried dessert waffles but alas)

the cluck yeah sandwich is basically two flavourful chicken tenders stacked on top of each other, lying on a bed of tangy, crunchy, creamy coleslaw, drenched in salty chipotle sauce, sandwiched between two FANTASTIC JALAPEÑO CHEDDAR WAFFLES. like seriously the waffles were the best part — they had a nice eggy sweetness that really balanced out the savouriness of the chicken tenders, they were perfectly soft and mushy, and had a prominent cheesy cheddar taste interspersed with peppery-fresh crunches of jalapeño. the MUSHINESS and light, balancing sweetness of the waffles was seriously so addicting though, i would come back just for the waffles.

they also kindly let me substitute the fries in the nashville chicken fries for onION RINGS, and i’m so glad because they were outstanding and the PERFECT side. first of all, everything was SO SAUCY, which was super satisfying and delicious in the beginning, but since the chipotle sauce is very salty, it did get a bit much at the end (which is why the waffle helped). the onion rings were hot, moist, and coated in a super crispy crunchy batter. the nashville chicken provided some hotness to it, but i’d say they didn’t really add much else and were a tad dry and underwhelming — i could probably go without the chicken next time.

even though cluck clucks doesn’t have the juiciest or the freshest chicken like other toronto staples, the quality and combination of flavours in everything else honestly makes it one of the best fried chicken places ...

Cluck Clucks has been on my list of places to try for ages but I have always been too lazy to make the trek. So I finally decided to make the trip and I must say that it was a mistake to procrastinate on this place.

I had not really looked at the menu prior to coming in so it took me a bit of time to figure out what they offered and make a decision. I ended up going with the Twaco which is described as "Boneless Breast, Jalapeno Cheddar Waffle, Shredded Cabbage, Fried Tortilla Strips, Cluck Sauce" which sounded delicious. I also ordered a side of Chipotle fries which was unfortunately way too salty for my taste. The Twaco itself was pretty good as the chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. The waffle had a fairly firm texture and the taste was ok, nothing mind blowing. Overall the Twaco was pretty good and would be something I'd order again but I will definitely skip the fries. Just to add another perspective, the friends I was with ordered only the fried chicken and they were praising it so I think we can all agree the chicken is good here.

In terms of service, the gentleman who took our order was friendly and was ready to give us suggestions as he may have sensed this was our first time here. He also came by to wipe our table down when he noticed us cleaning some sauce off the table so definitely appreciated that. Other than that food was ready quickly so no complaints from me.

The place wasn't too big but there's ample seating and everything was bright and clean. The smell of fried chicken in the air was also a delight especially when you're hungry.

Well I am glad I made the trek down to Cluck Clucks as overall I enjoyed my food. I'll definitely be back and would recommend giving this place a try if you haven't been...

I had a craving for chicken and waffles. In fact, I’ve only ever had them south of the border before. So this was my first try in Toronto. Sadly, it just wasn’t as great as I wanted it to be. Nor as great as it looks. Perhaps we ordered poorly.

We both had the Holy Cluck. Boneless breast with fries or wedges. We tried both. While both fries and wedges are very good, the fries are better if you like your potatoes crisp.

As for the chicken, it’s a pretty thin breast (almost like a schnitzel, and deep fried, so it comes out somewhat dry and hard to get down. Also not terribly tasty, so pile on the sauce.

About the sauce. The meal comes with one. I think there were 6 to choose from. For nearly $40 for two, I think they could splurge for 2 sauces. I did try the spicy chipotle, and it’s nice and hot.

Given this is a relatively new restaurant, I was surprised with the lack of environmental consciousness. Straws are on their way off the planet, but here they are, ketchup in squeeze packs, and no recycling, to name a few.

We were there at 1:30 in the afternoon, and there was only one person managing the restaurant, taking orders, cash and preparing food. So yea, there was a bit of a wait.

All of that said, they do have some interesting options on the menu, but we chose the basics this time. If you're going, choose chicken with bones in it, it's bound to be more juicy. Or try one of their concoctions that looked great - Cluck...
