Cluck & Blaze sits on the busy edge of Glendale’s San Fernando Road corridor, offering a casual spot for fried chicken lovers who want something more punchy than your typical neighborhood takeout. It’s primarily a chicken-centric restaurant with a focus on Nashville-style heat, chicken sandwiches, and hearty combos, fitting comfortably into the genre of family-friendly spots that deliver solid, craveable food on the go.

From the moment you step up to order, you can expect a no-frills, grab-and-go atmosphere rather than a sit-down dining experience. The restaurant tends to see a wave of lunchtime traffic, and despite its compact footprint and small parking lot, it handles quick pickups well, often appealing to nearby office workers, families, or folks rolling off a weekend Costco run looking for something spicy and satisfying.

The menu highlights its range of spicy chicken efforts, including sliders, tenders, and sandwiches that balance crispiness on the outside with juicy interiors. Heat levels here tend to satisfy for real—patrons who usually find “extra hot” lukewarm elsewhere seem to find their match at Cluck & Blaze, especially with items like the mango habanero slider and Nashville hot chicken tenders. For those who like to moderate the heat, medium spice options also hit the mark without overpowering.

Beyond the chicken, sides like fresh coleslaw, macaroni and cheese, and seasoned fries round out the meals with familiar, comforting flavors. The classic pairing of crunchy pickles and a pillowy soft bun plays an important role in making the chicken sandwiches hold together and sing with texture. The breakfast burrito, another noted item, offers a different but still spicy twist, appealing to the morning crowd looking for a hearty, flavorful start.

The staff here tend to be friendly and efficient, contributing to a no-nonsense service vibe that respects your time, especially if you’re swinging by to grab a quick lunch or bringing food back for a family meal. While the place can get busy around midday, the layout and order flow prevent it from feeling too chaotic.

Who is Cluck & Blaze for? It’s a spot locals will appreciate for dependable, intensely flavored fried chicken with an edge, especially if you’re someone who enjoys ordering multiple items to share or pair with a house-made fruit-infused agua fresca. It works well for families picking up takeout on a weekend, friends meeting over casual lunch, or anyone craving a bold chicken sandwich that holds up alongside LA’s competitive fried chicken scene.

When to visit? Lunchtime on weekdays and early weekend afternoons typically reflect the rhythm here, with ample parking challenges at peak, but a good quick-service pace that moves orders efficiently. Given the still-evolving indoor restrictions, there’s less crowding inside, making pickup straightforward.

Most of the time, I feel disappointed by the heat levels at chicken places. unless I get extra hot, and even then sometimes, it's barely spicy. but this place has got the heat down right! I order a mango habanero slider, a Nashville hot tender and fries with a mango passionfruit agua fresca, and it's the best I've had in a long time! the mango mellowed out the habanero, but you could still feel some of the heat. the hot Nashville was the all-star though - it's actually hot! the agua fresca was the perfect drink to counter the savory flavors, too. im definitely coming again. the staff were very attentive and friendly as well!

Finally I got the chance to try Cluck & Blaze. This is my first time here at Cluck & Blaze and I had an amazing experience. I came here with a friend to able to share different items from the menu. We ordered the Nashville hot breakfast burrito and the chicken tenders with tater tots we chose medium heat level. The food was so delicious and tasty. The staff here also were really cool, friendly and helpful. I really enjoyed my experience here and definitely will be back again. Highly recommended.

I was super late picking up my order but pleasantly surprised- the food was still warm and everything tasted amazing! This is the best Nashville hot chicken I’ve had in LA. Best, biggest, pieces of chicken, perfect heat level. Coleslaw and pickles fresh and crunchy and plenty of em. Perfect soft little sando bun. I’ve finally found my “treat myself” chicken sandwich place. (Better than the chicken place that was there before)

Super hungry and freshly off from two hours at Costco. Been wanting to try this place since it opened. I am a big fan of Dave’s Hot Chicken so this place has to be up to snuff. Came on a Friday at lunchtime, so it was busy from phone orders but due to Covid there was not a lot of people inside. I got the three chicken sliders to play it safe but am a fan of bone in so I will get that next time and update the review. I would have gave it five stars and almost did but the chicken, although very tasty had a small amount of chewy or tough texture. It was a lot of food. I only ended up eating two of the tenders. I got the mild which I was happy I didn’t go hotter because it had a good amount of heat. The fries were decent. Way better than the ones at Dave’s. And the bread was better too’ one nice and thick piece. Over all it was pretty good and I will be going back to try some of the other items. Pretty happy with it!

Located in a Plaza on the corner with a small parking lot. Got the main chick sandwich extra hot, cluckin Mac and the breakfast burrito (both Hot). The chicken sandwich was delicious, the piece of meat was big & extra crispy on the outside but juicy on the inside, extra hot definitely was not hot (for me) but otherwise the sandwich was pretty perfect. The mac & cheese was also really yummy and tasted great. The burrito was okay, didn't have much flavor but it was made well. Staff was nice and the place was clean with some seating inside.

Tons on hype on this chicken spot and wondering if it lived up to the name? Parking Easy parking on side then again It’s a weekend so unsure how it is during a weekday Ambiance Beautiful clean spacious seating area with ample seating specifically on the perimeter. Customer service Phenomenal friendly customer service from beginning to end. Even let me about the spice level on the chicken and how amazing the taters are. Keep in mind their top spicy levels are “CALL MOM” and “CALL THE MORGUE.” lol Food All three items were fresh and legit crispy! “The Side Chick” chicken sandwich was the perfect size and flavor minus spice since I’m not a spicy kind of guy. THANK YOU cluck and Blaze What an incredible experience and value.

I ordered a double-double, great portions. Order came out quickly, burger was delicious. The highlight was the fries, well seasoned and incredible flavor profile, with the smash sauce, exactly what I was looking for lunch. So good I forgot to take a picture XD. Staff was very friendly honestly worth a visit. Enjoy!
