Cluckers -- makes you want to crow like a rooster or cluck home?
While I haven't tried the individual meals, the family meal made me want to cluck home.
We got the whole chicken, side of potatoes and beans. It seemed really expensive for what we got.
It's not that the food was bad. It was average. Nothing blew us away. And for the price, I can get an $8 turkey from Jewel and some quick sides for a fraction of the cost.
This place seems more suited for an individual looking for lunch or dinner. And I'm not ready to write off this place. I'll come back and try an individual plate and report back. But as far as feeding the family, they're asking for way too much money for what you get.
My wife and I live right down the street from Clucker's and finally figured that we'd try it last week. Â We ordered a whole chicken, mashed potatoes and red beans and rice. Â All for about $22. Â The chicken was awesome and the red beans didn't even need rice. Â I could eat those beans all day. Â
We ordered online and the food was to the house in about 35 minutes (but, like I said, we live right down the street). Â I will definately be ordering Cluckers again.
This place was always enticing to us and we ordered delivery of a bunch of things. Â The beef brisket and pulled chicken sandwiches and a whole chicken. Â We all thought it was pretty good. Â However, halfway through the meal we were pulling the chicken apart (from the whole chicken) and there was a cooked fly inside! Â It was disgusting and we threw out the entire meal. Â Will never eat there again because of that.
Review Source:What an amazing meal we had last night! Â Kids and I dined in and everyone left very full and happy. Â We ordered sloppy chicken, half chicken and cajun crispy chicken--yummy! Â The staff was very friendly and efficient. Â Restaurant was immaculate---
We will be back again and again. Â Thank you!
I was going to give this place one star (or less if it was an option) but half way through the meal had to raise my rating. Anyway:
We werent going to go to Clucker's for lunch. But the sushi place to the left and the chinese place to the right were closed. We were hungry. Clucker's was conveniently located in between and open.
The guy at the front was slow, slow, and painfully slow. We placed and order and asked for ranch on the side. The guy at teh front almost had us draw a diagram as to why we'd ask for such a thing. Really. We were wondering the same ourselves after we convinced him to just give us the dressing.
I got chicken fajitas. They came with 4 tortillas. I asked to get some more and was told I'd have to pay extra for each additional one. I've never (and I mean never ever ) had to pay for an extra tortilla. Ever.
My fajitas came with a side of shredded cheese that upon closer inspection turned out to be shredded molded cheese. We coughed up the courage to address it with the guy in the front (based on the ranch dressing discussion we weren't certain he'd get what's wrong with having molded cheese).
We were right.
After some convincing, he took the cheese back and brought back a new cup, saying that this one "should be fine". He also was certain that all the food was fresh. I guess he has his own  definition of the word 'ALL' .
We were the only two in the establishment and I guess the owner and the guy in the front heard us using the word "review" mutliple times in conversation, so one of them came up to us and refunded my fajitas and brought us a desert on the house. Mold free.
Thus, 2 stars. Admitting you're wrong is half the solution. Getting rid of molded food would be the other half but let's be honest, he's still probably trying to figure out why we asked for that ranch dressing on the side.....he needs some time for that.
I was craving chicken wings. Called for pick-up.
Had half bbq and half hot. Ranch dressing and celery sticks included. Loved the bbq. I could give or take the hot sauce. Good wings..seemed easier to eat than many wings. I wonder why. Added bleu cheese to my ranch dressing and was a happy clam.
Added some sides when I came to pick up. French fries and mac and cheese. Fries were crinkle cut...not really my style, but they weren't for me. For the mac, I was offered to add goat cheese to the top. I almost jumped in delight. Well..it was like a tablespoon dollop of goat cheese. Not good mac...tasted Velveeta-ey. Wouldn't do the mac again.
Service was polite, the whole transaction took about 20 minutes.
Will definitely be back for wings or to try something new when the mood strikes. I also always forget that they deliver...perhaps one of these days, that little chicken-emblazoned smart car will be whizzing its way over to my house with more wings.
Tried this out for the first time and it was a pleasant surprise,  Facets of fast food and fine dining  Order upfront with some nice assistance on choices for the first-timer. get your own drinks and food is brought to you  real plates/silverware, fast and attentive sit down service. We had the chicken enchiladas and they rival  any of the best ones you would find. You can really taste all of the flavors with the chicken itself remaining the star...., fresh, juicy and great taste.. A real find if you can look past the ''' fast food like  and strip mall location. A gem
Review Source:I had a service issue...but the chicken was awesome. Â Loved the tortillas with the chicken. Read on and you'll see how they totally took care of me after a mistake.
So, tonight I ordered for the whole family...the "Coop." Â 40 bucks later. Â On the phone I specifically asked about the tortillas...how many do I get? Â I pay...drive the 20 minutes home...tear open the order...no tortillas! Â I call.,...they say they can't hear me (I'm on a land line!) I call back...the manger's response to my extreme disappointment and anger... "Do you want me to send the tortillas to your house?" He sounded put out. Â No apology...no offer for anything else to make up for my inconvenience...no acnowledgement of my frustration that even if he sends them...we'll either be done eating or it will be ice cold. Â I do ask him to send them...hey, I paid for the darn things. Â I still held out hope that there would be an "I'm sorry" coming..perhaps a bag of cookies or something. Â NOPE. How dare I complain.
BUT, after I sent  a message to the facebook page, the owner personally called me to apologize and he offered to buy me dinner. He must have looked up my phone number and home address from my order.  The next day, There were rice krispie treats and a free dinner coupon waiting for me at my house!!!  Awesome service !  I'm sold for life!
Thank you.
This was our first time at Clucker's. We ordered online a Big Rooster with a variety of sauces, sides and for dessert Clucker's bread pudding. A couple of minutes after we finish our online order we got a call that they were out of bread pudding. That's a great service. We pickup our order after 25 minutes and everything was ready.
The chicken was delicious I certainly would recommend it
Lake County's spin on many of the Pollo el Carbon joints in the city. Â Think Chicken Hut of Highland Park. Â Located across Sheridan Road from historic Fort Sheridan, in a not-so-historic strip mall, sits Cluckers.
Serving free-range, organic chickens, rotisserie roasted to perfection. Â The offerings are similar to what you find at city chicken joints of the same ilk. Â The owner/manger could not have been a nicer guy.
I went in here for the first time last night after reading the yelp reviews. Â I found the service to be fast and friendly. Â I took a recommendation from a Yelp Reviewer who said to try the Cobb Salad. Â I would have to agree, it's certainly one of the best Cobb Salads I've ever had. Â I'm usually in the area for work and it's hard to find a healthy fast food joint where I can sit down to eat. Â This place has healthy options and I"m looking forward to being a frequent customer.
Review Source:Delicious chicken, reasonable prices, friendly service from people who remember your name and omg fabulous homemade chips!
The only thing I would really like to see is a better vegetable selection for sides. The mixed vegetable side is always overcooked and their salad greens are nutritionless which is why I never order the 2350. It says "mixed greens" but really it's basically romaine. True mixed greens would be nice.
Overall this is our go-to place when we don't feel like cooking as it's fresh, delicious and reasonably priced. I just wish for a better vegetable selection (and no, corn on the cob does not count- corn is a grain not a veggie!)
This place is a great new addition to our neighborhood. Â My husband and I get take out from there once ever few weeks, and it's always good. Â My favorite is the turkey burger, and my husband loves their chicken chili! Â A bit pricey for the quantity of food that you get, but all dishes are really good and tasty. Â Thumbs up!
Review Source:Santo Cielo I love this place! The chicken is tender, moist and delicious. Peanut slaw has to be the best coleslaw I've had in a really long time. It's not too spicy, creamy, and the peanut adds a delectable crunch. In my opinion it beats any coleslaw from Sunset or Whole Foods.
I love the 2350 salad. Clucker's has the best poppy seed dressing I've ever had- and it's tough to find a good poppy seed dressing. Poppy seed dressings tend to run too thin and too sweet, but this dressing is thick and has the perfect balance of sweetness just like puppies. Yes, I referenced puppies.
My other favorite is the chicken-on-slaw sandwich for reasons I mentioned earlier. Kaiser roll is the perfect base.
Service is friendly and fast. They have a "frequent feeders" card if you end up going there enough that saves money after the 10th or 12th visit (can't remember). Side note: My sister and I were wondering why the card wasn't called "frequent clucker" card and then common sense hit me when I tried to say it 5 times fast....
The only reason this place has 4 stars instead of 5 are the prices- especially for the wings which are so-so. If you order hot wings, keep in mind they are REALLY hot.
We are big fans of Bandera, a rotisserie chicken and general American cuisine spot located on Michigan Ave.
While up in the north suburbs, we had a chance to try this place and were quite impressed with the quality of the chicken and the depth of the menu.
We did carry out but it definitely looked like a place I would go for lunch if I lived in the area. They also had Mexican-style corn on the cob featured on their menu which we didn't get to try but will certainly pick up the next time.
They have the best wings in Highwood/HP area. Tried their other items and were alright. Was not extremely impressed with chicken. Was moist but didn't have the charcoal flavor I had hoped for. Try their fire wings, not as hot as other fire wings but still have some nice kick and are good sized. Also, it is a bit pricey.
Review Source:OMG~ I'm hooked on the Grilled Veggie Salad with the Cluck!! Â First off, it's really too big to eat all at once...not sure what the best part is...the grilled veggies, the goat cheese, the pesto vinaigrette or the homemade mini bran muffin that accompanies the salad~ hmmm
It's all Yummy!! Â Definitely NOT just the hum drum lettuce salad with grilled chicken!! Â I think it's value well received~
The two best things are the rotisserie chicken and the peanut slaw. Â The sweet potato fries are good, best eaten when hot (they don't travel all that well).
The best value is to get one of their family meals for takeout. Â We had the Big Rooster (1 1/2 chickens and some sides), which was just enough for 4 people, maybe a little light. Â It was a bit confusing to have rolled up tortillas and sauces to go with the meal (rather than rolls or biscuits), but they were tasty nonetheless.
It's good - not outstanding - but tasted healthy, and the meat was very tender and moist. Â It would be great for an impromptu get-together, no-cook Sunday night, or picnic meal for Ravinia.
Okay, the food is very good, the guy at the counter today was VERY nice and helpful, and the place was very clean... the slightly high prices would have been okay too if it weren't for the small main-course portions.
I'm in town visiting my home and my Mom took me here for lunch, because she loves their "2350 Salad." Her salad looked really good. I ordered the "Quarter clucker with white meat" with their fries as my side. My only issue was that the pile of fries was BIG, but the chicken was pretty tiny. I guess it's my fault, as I could have ordered the "Half a chicken"... I dunno.
So this review really is a 3-1/2 and maybe I should have spent the $12 for the half chicken of white meat? I dunno... didn't blow me away.
Great gourmet fast food - Rotisserie chicken is juicier than fried chicken.
Winter Special has tender Beef brisket and Chicken Kebabs.
My friends all liked the Enchiladas. I thing this place make most items from scratch - including the awesome slaws and grilled veggie.
They did a great job and keep the restaurant really clean even when they are real busy.
I'm a huge fan. This has become a regular Sunday night feast for my family. Â Even though we live up in Glencoe we make the trek out to Highwood to pick up Cluckers. Â The chicken is juice and perfectly flavored. Â The 2350 salad is one of my favorites in the area. Â They give Little Ricky's up in Winnetka a run for their money with that salad. Â I also really like the feel of the restaurant. Â You can't go wrong with a local family owned eatery. Â I need to try some more menu items, but so far I'm on the Cluckers bandwagon.
Review Source:Maybe you don't want to cook tonight. Maybe you don't want to cook and you need a change of scenery. Maybe you don't want to cook, need to get out and get some well-prepared, quality food. Go to Clucker's in Highwood. Chicken, not surprisingly is featured in many of their dishes, but this is range fed and homone free chicken and, hey, that counts for something. The food is well-prepared, fairly priced and it is service with a smile because the owner is behind the cash register. His wife even makes the desserts which are cut into bit size pieces and offered free as you leave. You can carry out or eat-in. We did the latter and had a postive experience. It is a great neighborhood place. We will return.
Review Source:The food is all right -- some of the dishes are downright tasty, like the peanut slaw and rotisserie chicken. Â The problem is that service is incredibly slow. Â This place is, to a large extent, geared toward people who want to pick up a warm, ready-to-eat dinner on the way home after work. Â Which is great. Â But twice now they've told me my chicken would be ready in 20 minutes, only to keep me waiting for at least 45. Â No apology per se -- once, they offered to deliver the food, but wouldn't guarantee a delivery time, so that was no good. Â I won't be back.
