He was honestly one of the friendliest employees I’ve ever interacted with. His enthusiasm and kindness made the whole experience feel really positive. It’s rare to have someone be that genuinely nice and energetic, especially in a quick drive-thru interaction. Austin definitely deserves recognition for making my day better.“

“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!“

“Got my food at the Newport Location. Much smaller location, a few tables, better for pick-up. Other than that, the food is wonderful! Got the Dave Bites w/ Fries. So flavorful! Dont even really need the sauce, but that's also tasty. Got the Oreo top Shake w/ Strawberry ice cream YUM!!! Thay might have to be a staple everytime i order lol“

“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.“

“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?!?!?“

“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“
