“I won't let one weird employee knock my rating down of this location. Usually the customer service is pretty good, but on this day 11/29/25 @ 1030pm The younger guy working the cash register had zero customer service skills. He seemed annoyed at the very first interaction and rushed me through my order. Maybe that's just his personality because he seemed to be like that with everyone. Gotta work on that for real“

“Everything was amazing all around. The customer service was on point. One of the workers Kathy was on point, she checked up on us and she just was amazing. The food was great really spicy but that’s the experience we went for when we got the roulette. If I could give ten stars I would.“

“Great food. Super nice staff. Thank you. When they say it’s spicy believe them. Dare is almost unbearable. I wouldn’t dare try the double dare. Soooo good.“

“First time ordering fried chicken from this place.
I ordered 24 pieces of the legs and thighs.
I wanted to order all legs. But unfortunately not possible.
The chicken tasted really good and crispy.
Though my family prefer the legs more, so ended with lots of thighs leftovers, but all the chicken legs were gone.
I wish they'd allow the option of just chicken legs like Popeyes. I'd come back more if there's that option.“

“Exelente servicio pollo campero un buen sabor“

“I have been on an elimination diet for 11 months (AIP) and have had to give up eating out because no one serves anything I can have without completely changing the menu item! Chixy Natural’s Paleo Bowl was absolutely delicious! Such simple and yummy ingredients! Best of all, I didn’t have to cook it myself. We will be going there again!“

“The Reaper chicken.
That's what I've been seeing on social media.
I got it. It was hot, but not as hot as everyone made it seem.
Don't get me wrong, it was delicious and very spicy. But it's not for the weak. 👍“

“Okay, I thought this was one of this joints where you order “Xtra Crack” in the comments and you get some smoking crack. Imagine my disappointment when I opened my bag and all I had was delicious chicken, fries and amazing coleslaw. Honestly though, I think that chicken has smoking crack in it cause I just finished eating and I’m already itching for some more…. Maybe you could help a fella out and get me some chicken? Come on man! Please?!?!?“

“My meal was very good. I ordered Nashville Hot chicken sandwich, with side of Mac and cheese. The mac and cheese was very average, but satisfying. The sandwich was wonderful. Very crunchy, well seasoned, good sauce, pickles, fresh lettuce, delicious bun. The man who gave me my order was very kind and gave me a sample.
I definitely recommend to anyone who likes chicken sandwiches.“

“Best chicken and best sauce!“

“Great management! Thanks for serving the Costa Mesa community.“

“Food is really high quality and very generous!! crispy chicken always fresh and delicious! 🥰 very friendly and helpful staff! 🥰 the space is not wheelchair accessible really tight but they return it back for there friendly staff and quality of food. Highly recommend bbq chicken tustin 🥰“

“This is the first place I have found in Orange County that makes a hot chicken that is legitimately too hot to handle. And I say that as I sweat through the next 3 tenders. It's fantastic but I'll actually order something a little milder next time. Get Clucked means business.“

“Muy buen servicio y el pollo muy bueno“

“My wife and I moved out of southern California 9 years ago and the only thing we really miss, besides family is the Mexican food! This local, no frills spot really hits the mark. The food is on point and meets all our breakfast, lunch and dinner needs! If you’re in the area it’s worth a stop for take out or dinning in the patio area!“

“Now’s famous potato with chicken!“

“Great service! We've been here before and like it a lot! We both got bowls with the purple rice and a side of the Korean street fries! The toppings in the bowl went so well with everything and is a good amount of food! Everything was so good and the rest of the menu with the kimchi burgers looks great! Will definitely be back to try everything on the menu“
