Cluck Clucks Chicken & Waffles

3.5 STARS
I went here last week with a group of friends. It’s an unassuming place and when you walk in, holy cluck is it orange everywhere! I think one of the staff said it used to be a laundry mat. It has that fast food kinda vibe to it, but the food is anything but fast food.
I had the kid size chicken and waffles with the side of fries (Little Clucker). The chicken was nice and crispy and juicy but the fries were waaaaay too salty for me. I could only handle a few unfortunately. I should have picked the coleslaw as the option for the side. The combo (with drink) is about $ 11, Now even though it’s a smaller meal than the other options don’t get your feathers in a knot as it is still plenty of food. Bone in chicken thigh was a fairly big piece and the waffle had a nice doughy warm consistency to it.
Just looking at the menu and the names they came up with are good for a laugh! The staff are all really friendly.
This is definitely a place I would cluck about to all my friends who live close by :)

Cluck Cluck (your Chicken and Waffles creation) you have made my mouth experience an amazing tour of duty. I will be back please never change as you will grow fast.

Such a cute little joint tucked away at Princess and The Esplanade! The cashier was amazing at recommending the best choices on their menu. It is a small menu but nonetheless very exciting. They offer the traditional dark meat fried or a more healthy option, the chicken breast fried. Either way, both were served on a Waffle with a side and a drink. The options for sides were Fries, Wedges and Coleslaw. We opted for the wedges but now thinking back, I want to try to the coleslaw next time! The chicken breast option was given an additional option to make it into a sandwich. I did prefer an open face waffle then the sandwich.
This was definitely a must try as the fried chicken was tender and flaky, way better then KFC. The sauces were amazing as well, I definitely recommend the Chipotle Aioli and the Cluck sauce which has a sweet note. This Chicken and Waffles is definitely better than The Stockyards!

Okay, so this is going to sound weird, but I don’t eat too much meat these days and don’t really like sugar, so naturally… I’d go to a chicken and waffles place right? Weekends are usually my free for all days whereas weekdays are my strict health days, I decided to come here with approximately 8 to 9 people last minute.
I ordered the Holy Cluck with coleslaw on the side and the Cluck sauce on the side. The chicken was warm and meaty, the coleslaw tasted great and for a fast food joint, the service was great. They were able to serve a table of 8 – 10 people in a matter of 15 minutes even though it was just two people working plus someone who I assume to be the owner (and was amazingly friendly).
Verdict: While I personally am not the biggest fan of fried food or sugar, I think for anyone who loves fried chicken, this is a great place to visit.

This hot new place was a hit for me today. I was craving waffles and this was just the spot. I didn’t order chicken and waffles which I know, I know, you don’t do when you visit a chicken and waffles joint. I just wasn’t feeling for chicken and luckily they have a stand alone waffle for $ 4.99. It’s the Belgian waffle size and it came with Nutella and syrup on the side. Hand me a cup of coffee and I would have been in heaven. I do have to say the chicken and waffle combos looks amazing! I did have a bite of my friends giant chicken wings which were delish. The staff were very friendly and quick.

This place was so good, i can’t stop talking about it to my friends.
1. Boneless chicken Waffle sandwhich is amazing.
2. Tasty waffles that are juicy and flavoured.
3. great customer service, who are super friendly.
4. big place, sit down area available.
5. family oriented place.
6. would I go here again and again? YES!

Found a new place by my work for lunch! I think Cluck Clucks is better and less greasy version of The Dirty Bird. The prices were also a better value for a similar portion. I didn’t have a problem with the plastic forks/​knives as others mentioned (maybe I’m just gentle). However, I do know there are plastic utensils that are clear and more sturdy than the ones they have — maybe they can look into that.
I got the 2 piece chicken which comes with a side (because I didn’t want a waffle). The portion was so large that I had trouble finishing it. Try the chipotle aioli sauce! Yum!
Staff is friendly and helpful. Will be back here from time to time since it’s just around the corner from my office!

A great addition to the neighbourhood! When you walk by it smells heavily (almost overwhelming) of oil and deep-​friedness outside, which one can take as a good or a bad thing. The smell continues when you walk in which amplifies from their open kitchen, which is nice to see them freshly prepping your food but is also not the most attractive kitchen and you see the oil smoke when the middle aged lady drops the chicken in. I got there at about 8.30pm on a Friday night for dinner and it was about half full.
I got the Little Clucker with the sweet heat sauce. The chicken was super good, it was moist and crispy. The waffle was also not bad, thick and crisp enough to hold the chicken without getting excessively soggy. The sweet heat sauce was a bit bland and watered down. It also wasn’t enough and I had to ask for a second one. It was all in all good, but I don’t know why it felt like it was just missing something…
The man working at the counter was very nice and friendly, chatted with us for a bit and even checked up on us. The other staff seemed impartial about everything. I would come back for the non-​pretentious neighborhood joint food just for the location (its within walking distance of work) and every time someone in my office gets it for lunch it smells so good.

I wanted to give them a great review. The chicken was moist, a little greasy. Should have rested it a bit longer. Waffle was fluffy and crisp. Sweet heat aka spicy maple syrup was too watered down.
Decoration and ambience are cool. The kitchen can’t handle a rush. Owners seem genuinely nice and trying.
My order took 21 min to complete (work day lunch this is not). No apology. The man who ordered just before me received an apology and free fries, when he received it like me. I received just my order. That put a bad spin on it. FYI: I ordered boneless chicken breast, so timing shouldn’t have been an issue. The group of guys who came 15 min after me received their order less than 5 min after mine.
The exhaust needs to be turned up, as you smell like fried chicken coming out (especially if you are going to be waiting 20+ min).
Food I give a solid 3 or 3.5
Ambience 2 (if they improve the exhaust 3)
Wait time a 0 or 1

So — this place is totally low key.
No rez required.
But OMG — love the Chicken and Waffles.
We had the Boneless Chicken Breast.
Do think twice before you had fries — it is a serving fit for only the most hungry.
Staff are friendly and service was quick.
Food is made to order.
Couple of notes:
— Entrance is on the side street not Esplanade.
— Right now there is scaffolding outside — so hard to see the entrance
— Green P parking is close by

Tasty for sure, but nothing different than other chicken and waffles I’ve had. Fast service. Note: the jalapeño waffles have some kick even though I was told it was mild.

I had the Cluck Yeah! | Boneless Chicken Breast In Between Jalapeño And Cheddar Waffle With Coleslaw, Chipotle Aioli, Dill Mayo
The Chicken was tender and crispy. I really liked the waffle since it’s very unique — first time seeing Jalapeño and Cheddar. So there’s a really nice kick to it.
The potato wedges could’ve been more. I think there’s only 5 pcs I got. If I knew it was that little, I would’ve gotten fries instead.
A must for Chicken and Waffles.

Oh no I’m in trouble! An amazing fried chicken and waffles place in walking distance. Holy cluck is Delicious!!!

Just to put it out there, confirmed with the owner that the chicken is halal :)
Was there last night, the chicken was perfectly fried, crispy crust and juicy inside, however I do think they could do with more seasoning as somebody else said. The Sauce selection is really good, you get a choice of one sauce, we asked more of that sauce and the owner himself said why don’t you try the chipotle sauce, so we did, it was the best out of all the sauces we had (we had three), the cluck signature sauce is good too (its kinda sweety).
There is some creativity behind their food names– Mother Clucker, Cluck Yeah!
I also think they need metal cutleries, but i heard they are not allowed by-​law or something, regardless, its kinda hard eating it with plastic.
Will be going there again if i am in the area!

A great addition to the neighbourhood and not a bad spot either that does need some improvement but hopefully that changes once they start getting the hang of things
The interior is really nice compared to other places on esplanade. It’s fresh and clean with lots of tables, seating and a TV.
The chicken was okay. I mean, its not going to make any of the fried chicken lists but its a good alternative if you don’t want popeyes or KFC. It doesn’t compare to Kanpai at all. I do think the chicken needs some seasoning. Actually, it does need some seasoning and you’ll be good to go. I hope they chnage up the recipe
I didn’t get the waffles so I can’t comment on that. I got the fries and they weren’t good. Soggy and greasy. It was basically cooked and fried potato with no substance or crunch. Blah.

Wanted to try this new place right near work. Went there yesterday with a coworker for lunch. The staff is amazing. Food is very tasty. Space is bright, clean, and airy.
Just two critiques. One minor and one more concerning.
First they are using cheap plastic cutlery. Staff explained however that city bylaw prohibits them from using metal cutlery. They are looking into a better solution however,
More worrying are the prices. I got their Mother Clucker item. A generous serving of fries and a big piece of chicken on a waffle sandwich. Also a can of pop. After tax this was $ 16.72, for a lunch. Seems pretty high for a lunch joint. In fact, I spotted a few kids from the nearby school pop in and leave right away after seeing the prices.
They are great but they may be too expensive for the area. I wish them all the best and will continue to visit them whenever my wallet allows for this extravagance.

We went on a friend’s recommendation and were blown away! We had the Cluck Yeah! and could’ve eaten two more.
The staff is fun and inviting and fun! Ask each of them their favorite and they each have a different one. it’s all that good!
We will be going back and passing along all of the recommends we can.

Great local business and a great addition to the community! I have been walking by their storefront for some time now awaiting their opening! The staff are super nice, and the food is great! I had the What the Cluck! with the Cluck Sauce. There was a little wait for the chicken, which I appreciated because that meant that they were cooking it once ordered, and it wasn’t sitting somewhere in a heat pan or something. I’d rather wait and have freshly cooked food than something stale and old. The Cluck Sauce was unique and tasted very nice, it had a bit of a kick, but not so much that it was bothersome. Will definitely go back! Happy that you guys are open! (Sorry, I forgot to take a picture, I was so hungry that I ate it as soon as I got it)

I love fried chicken! So the moment I realized there was a new chicken and waffles place opening up — I was excited, yet skeptical. But, honestly, it lived up to my expectations of crispy skin and juicy meat.
The menu has a ton of super cute puns… which is fun!
I recommend the Mother Clucker — 3 pieces of chicken with a cheddar jalapeño waffle, choice of side and dipping sauce. Twice I’ve gone, and twice I’ve gotten the house sauce and the spicy sauce. So so good.
The Cluck Yeah! Is also pretty awesome. Boneless skinless chicken breast, deep fried and sandwiched between cheddar jalapeño waffles, with coleslaw and chipotle aiole.
And, yeah, I had dessert… The Clucking Lil’ Waffies are like a waffle, a churro and a tiny tim donut all became one. Deep fried waffle sticks are dusted in brown sugar and cinnamon and served with nutella and maple syrup.
Spoke to the owners and they buttermilk brine the chicken overnight and exclusively use broaster fryers so the chicken not only cooks quickly but perfectly every time.

Place is nice with friendly staff! The interior is very inviting and smells like fresh waffles. Ordering was fast and easy with a pretty good selection of different type of combos and sauces. I got the Holy Cluck combo with dill mayo which consists of boneless chicken breast and waffle for $ 10.99 before taxes. Good sized portion, was super full afterwards. Loved it.
My only dislike would be that the utensils are kinda flimsy. Will recommend for sure and I will definitely be back.
