Cluck & Blaze — Restaurant in Long Beach

Service here was very nice. The young lady who took our order was very kind and helpful so customer service is definitely 5/5.

We ordered two chicken tender combos ($13 each) with an extra tender a-piece($5 each), a banana pudding($6), and a lemonade($3). They comped our lemonade and gave us a free tender unprompted.

One major plus is that the tenders are large! A huge issue I had was that an extra tender cost $5 alone, they are large but that just felt overpriced when there are no 3 piece options. The pricing just felt very high especially when considering the combo did not include a drink. This is an insulting new trend. If you Google the traditional definition of a combo in a restaurant setting it is a meal that includes food items and a beverage! I would honestly rather pay $15 for the combo knowing my drink was included.

Food: Chicken Tenders- 4/5 Very good sized tenders! Well cooked and juicy. My husband feels the medium spice just wasn't very spicy.

Texas Toast- 5/5 FANTASTIC. Perfectly buttered and fried. Great taste with a satisfying crunch!

Fries- 0/5 Egregiously terrible. They were severely over-fried and oily. It almost felt like they were old fries they dunked back in the oil to reheat. Like several were rock hard to bite.

Mac & Cheese- 2/5 Someone else here called it tasteless and I have to say it was accurate. I really wanted to like it cause I like cold Mac but it was very bland. Recipe really needs work.

Sauce- 2/5 The chicken sauce really just missed the mark. It was far too mayo heavy to be a true "comeback" or chicken sauce leaving it bland overall as well.

Banana Pudding- 2/5 This is just boxed banana pudding mix with three chunks of banana and vanilla wafers. Very poorly executed so that it also tasted very basic and bland especially for $6 a serving.

Overall, only the tenders & toast were good. Everything else was disappointing and overpriced. I really wish this place was better. I truly think there's potential due to the excellent tenders but all the sides...

My Husband and I traveled the nation to where ever the food took us and that included Nashville where we experienced the "OG" hot chicken spot...

Unfortunately the OG place we tried was legit horrid (tasted like straight cayenne powder with absolutely no flavor), so not gonna lie we were hesitant to give hot chicken a try again.

Cluck n Blaze Caught our eye with their crazy sandwiches and burritos so we finally pulled the trigger and we are SO GLAD that we did!

Like WOOOOWWW!!! Absolutely UNBELIEVABLE flavors, crunch, juiciness, spice, EVERYTHING! They seriously saved hot chicken for us and have been OUR FAVORITE that we've tried, as we've tried a couple more spots since, but cluck n blaze continues to out perform all others!

We ordered the Plan B and the Breakfast Burrito "Jerry Style" and damn that comeback sauce is so freaken addicting! We've been multiple times and every time that cook on that chicken "slaps" as the kids say these days!

We've also had their loaded tacos and mac n cheese with chicken as well!! Our fav was the Plan B and Jerry Style Burrito for sure, but also LOVED the large chicken inside the tacos!

We can't recommend Cluck & blaze enough! We will tell you that they have taken a concept from Nashville and MASSIVELY out performed the OG place! They are a MUST if you like flavorful, juicy, crispy chicken with a kick!

Random note: We were in town and had won their Thanksgiving giveaway for the Nashville turkey... YYYYEEESSSSS!!! Can't believe HOW WELL the flavors seeped into the juicy crispy turkey! It took Thanksgiving to the next level! If you can be sure to order a Turkey from them to impress your guest at your Next Thanksgiving...

Fantastic time at Cluck & Blaze. Arrived around 7pm on a Friday, wasn’t super busy, COVID safety measures were in semi-effect—there were several moments a more concerned individual might get uncomfortable, but those moments were brief and I was already sitting outside before they occurred. Bathrooms were also open for washing hands, but you could easily get away with using the facilities. If this were a review strictly on safety protocol, they would get a 3 star review.

Alas. This is about the food. I got the Chicken Meal #1 (chicken sandwich with pickles, slaw, and a thick chicken breast that didn’t completely fit on the bun. I got the second highest spice level, Call Your Mom, I think it was called. Also, mac n cheese. The spice wasn’t too hot—they give you a warning since it’s made with ghost, habanero, and I think scorpion peppers. For those accustomed to spice, you’ll sweat, but it won’t be super painful, all yum. The flavor profile reminded me of spicy ramen.

Mac n cheese was tasty, but the TEMP heat combined with the FLAVOR heat of the chicken made it a little too painful to enjoy. Save for after, or brace yourself.

Parking at this location isn’t great, but if you’re familiar with curb color laws in LB...
