Cluckin Bun

This was my first time eating at Cluckin Bun in Cathedral City. I ordered the chicken sandwich and subbed the side for mac & cheese, plus a side of fries and a side of ranch. The fries were fresh, crispy, and perfectly seasoned. The chicken sandwich was cooked perfectly — juicy with a great crunch. I’m not usually a big coleslaw fan, but the slaw and pickles on the sandwich actually worked so well together and added the perfect flavor and texture. The inside is a little small for dining in, but it’s clean and has a chill, laid-back vibe. Overall, it was a great experience and I’ll definitely be back again soon!

This is the cutest little restaurant with some of the dankest tasting fried chicken and homemade mac-n-cheese I have ever tasted! So much food I had to bring some home and then I ate it right away. Service is really friendly. The decor is adorable and obviously well thought out. I am getting hungry for more just writing this review.

They have an amazing chicken I recommend it 100%. They also have 5 levels of spiciness. The noise level was quiet because we were the only ones there at the time and for space is small but boy do they make up on the food is really good.

Had seen this place on Yelp and it looked so delicious. I was assisted by the AMAZING manager Ericka. Not only did she take pride in her work & the business but she made everything from scratch l! She truly is an angel and the food I got was LEGENDARY. Absolutely amazing and I WILL be back again in the future. I hope to see this place as big as chick-fil-a in the future.

Had the loaded fries and two chicken sandwiches with my 15-year-old grandson. Both were amazing. He said next year when he come to Palm Springs again we got to get this again.

Went here last December (2023) and I'm surprised i never left a review. I was in Palm Springs for an emergency airport trip and was relieved to find a place as good as this for a meal while in town. Won't get into much detail but you should know the food is made with consistent greatness in each part of the meal. I also got to talk with the owner, whose heart goes into the food. If I ever need to go back to Palm Springs, this the spot I'll be going to.

This restaurant is one of my all time favorite restaurants. Everything they serve is pure deliciousness. The mac and cheese is some of the best I've ever tasted, especially with the added Cheeto flakes. No other restaurant that I've seen has been able to compare to their mac and cheese. Their sandwiches are absolutely heavenly. The buns are high quality, warm, and delicious. They come with coleslaw, pickles, sauce, and a chicken tender (or multiple!) fried in peanut oil and dusted with Cheeto flakes. They have a level of heat for their sauces for everyone! Mild, medium, hot, and Cluckin hot. They're all delicious, and the hottest one is definitely not for the faint of heart! Whoever came up with their recipes certainly knows something about spices and flavors, because I've been struggling to find anything even remotely close to as good as this restaurant within the entire southern California area! I absolutely recommend this place, and while I'm sad their other location in Inglewood, CA closed, I hope this one is able to thrive so I can come back soon!

Omg so after a suggestion from a family friend @onelovevibes we tried this place and have found our new spot!!! For the same price as a trip to McDonalds or Panda Express, we came to experience love!!! They have six heat settings ranging from no heat to Cluckin+, which is the hottest heat setting around. The meat is super juicy and full of flavor. I had the Jr. Clicker sandwich combo, which consists of two chicken tenders on a brioche bun with coleslaw, cheese sauce, and mac and cheese. I opted to have my Mac on the side, and the Mac was covered in hot cheetos crumbs!!! Absolutely amazing!!! This is most definitely worth the drive!!! Will be recommending it to my friends near and far!!! Will absolutely make the drive to enjoy this food!!! Come on by, you will NOT be disappointed!!!

Yummy chicken and Mac n cheese Must try when coming to cathedral Recommended Clean restroom

Service here was really wonderful! Be sure to sign up online for coupons to save. Space inside is very limited, there are only two tables so prepared to take your food to go. The chicken was cooked perfectly, very juicy. It could've been more seasoned, I didn't notice much in terms of spice at all. The fries were tasty and so were the drinks. The food was made to order quickly and packaged well to go. Great option if you're looking for fried chicken in the area.

Ordered online and went to pick up and it was ready on time. Once my boyfriend and I went to eat the food we both agreed the chicken was dry and not seasoned well. They add a lot of sauces and toppings which helps. My Bf rated the loaded fries 7/10 and I would rate my jr clucker and Mac and cheese 5/10. Mac and cheese was dry as well.

That's chicken is so clucking good! Fresh and hot. Had the Mild chicken sandwich with fries. No picture ate too fast

this place is really good and I love the name of the restaurant reminds me of clucking Bell from grand theft auto the game series. Food was delicious. Customer service was nice. Definitely recommend.

Family recommend this place! Let's check it out! My siblings rave about this place and it was only fair I paid them a visit! First had plenty of parking in their shopping plaza. Small yet cozy business. Service was great! We arrived, there was no line and they took our order right away. They have a T.V displaying their menus and what they have. I really enjoyed their art work! Unique and it gives it personality. Portions are big! My siblings recommend their loaded fries! They come with chicken, cheese, cluckin sauce ranch and hot Cheeto flakes! Oh you can add Mac and cheese for an additional charge( worth it) They have different heat levels! I had them cluckin sandwich combo and upgraded my fries to cheese fries. Food was tasty as satisfying! The sandwich was juicy and oh so tender! Their coleslaw was yummy! I really enjoyed that. Cheese fries were perfect! When you check in they give you two sauces for free! We had ranch!

Went to Palm Springs for a quick turn around. Ended up craving a chicken sandwich and wanted to see if there were any local spots I could try. Cluckin Bun did not disappoint I ordered their Jr Sandwich which is an excellent sandwich, it's big, flavorful and plenty of food if you're hungry. However, since I live far away I couldn't leave without ordering their loaded fries and DAMN those fries were fire . Seasoned Fries with pieces of spicy chicken, nacho cheese and you can add-on Mac and cheese with Cheeto dust for a few extra bucks. You gotta try em they were so damn good. If I come back to Palm Springs in the future I hope they are still there.

If you're craving for hot and spicy chicken sandwich, Cluckin Bun is the place to turn to. However, the spice didn't get that hot unless you let the server know you can handle the heat if you're hungry for it. The Jr Clucker is one big sandwich with two Nashville style hand breaded chicken breast tenders with lots of creamy sauce in a hamburger bun. And the Little Clucker is one Nashville style chicken breast sandwich in a brioche would be a good choice if you're not a big eater. Overall the experience was good and not to mention the fun walls!

So good!! Not many seats for dine in but absolutely delicious hot chicken sandwich and coleslaw

Had seen this place on Yelp and it looked so delicious. I was assisted by the AMAZING manager Ericka. Not only did she take pride in her work & the business but she made everything from scratch l! She truly is an angel and the food I got was LEGENDARY. Absolutely amazing and I WILL be back again in the future. I hope to see this place as big as chick-fil-a in the future.

Picked up food to go. had heard about it, but never tried it so we did... Omg!!!! So so good!!! My husband ordered the Mother Clucker Combo with a side & drink; that we enough for 2 of us! The sandwich was definitely delicious & different in taste! We ordered the Mac n cheese as our side, also very good! I ordered the clucking sandwich by itself; also the wall pictures are hilarious! Very original service was good, we didn't wait very long either.

I was very reluctant to go in, but it's really good. It's a little on the pricey side, but it's to be expected today. The place is amazing. I'm going to be a repeat Customer.

This place needs to update their business hours on maps we drove one hour just for them to tell us they are no longer taking orders at 7:48 because they do not take orders past 7:45 since they close at 8pm Meanwhile their maps hours say they close at 9:45. This is the second time we drive to this place only for them not to serve us due to their times not being posted correctly , unfortunately we won't be back ...

Amazing food! The loaded fries are my favorite but the sandwiches are good and the wings are great too!

They offered my girlfriend a free drink for a review. (She declined) Service is horrible food is bland no flavor . Homeless people are always hanging out in the front of the building

I always stop here when im in town to get some chicken tenders! The Service is always fast and friendly! Even after coming here almost A year later I still see the same friendly faces. This place has something for everyone with a super relaxed atmosphere. Cant wait until I come back every time I Go.. Check them out you wont regret it!!

I ordered take out through their online ordering site. They had a $5 off 25 code but it disappeared. I had trouble with that and their was an offer for $2 off loaded fries with $25 purchase. Anyway, my food was ready when I arrived. The place is small. The service was OK. I checked in on Yelp and got 2 free sauce. The loaded fries had plenty of sauce. It was pretty good. The crispy chicken in it was cut up. Some of it was crispy, some of it not. I also got the junior clucker. I ate it right away and I didn't think it was crispy at all, maybe I got the original? I checked my receipt and it said crispy so maybe the crispy is not how I envisioned it? The coleslaw was tangy and crunchy. I couldn't taste the Cheetos. The chicken was very big and juicy. The price was reasonable for what I got.

Best chicken in the desert. The Junior chicken sandwich is quite large and filling with two pieces of chicken ( unlike some other chicken joints). The chicken is moist on the inside and crunchy on the outside. the prices are very reasonable. I don't like coleslaw, but the sauce and pickles provided great contrasting flavor. The loaded fry's included chicken, ranch, and plenty of medium cheesy sauce which had a little heat and I am a wimp. The flavors all worked great. Service was great and friendly. There was a smallish seating area, but it was quiet inside. As far as the best specialty chicken fastish food/ food trucks Cluckin bun comes a close second to Chk-N-Out in Orange County. But since I am nowhere near Orange County, I am glad I have a place like Cluckin Bun to go to. For great tasting specialty chicken at a great price, give Cluckin Bun a try and enjoy.

Hot, Juicy Chicken! I ordered the tenders meal (comes with fries and a drink. The chicken tenders are so juicy and freshly made! The spice level is one-size fits all (medium hot). If you like really spicy, you can add on the spicier dipping sauce (or non-spice sauce). The fries are seasones crinkle cut and tasty. The service was great! Super friendly. The ambiance is kinda quirky, but fun (in a chicken shack sort of way). If you love HOT chicken, you'll love this place!

Not sure why there are so many good reviews here. We've had much better hot chick especially on main chick. Cluckin Bun is One and Done for us. A place with chicken tenders that doesn't have any knives? Interesting. There were two of us and we asked for forks and knives, and we only got one fork. Service was subpar and the food give us both stomach aches. It also only has three small tables so if you're coming with a big party plan on taking it to go. Would not recommend the food nor service.

The fries with the Mac n cheese is a must! Nice, creamy, and very tasteful. My one complain is that they charger $2 for tap water. We were the only ones in there so it was nice and quiet !

Been looking forward to eat here.. I had the chance to do so & the service is VERY VERY GOOD! Very friendly staff. The place is cozy, the place should be (a recommendation) be bigger. Will REALLY REALLY try again.

S Small lil place but good food for sure. Worth trying! Highly recommend getting the jr cluck. Super tasty and medium spice level is not spicy at all.

5 stars for food and service. 3 for ambience. Tiny (3tables only) and hot af inside and stunk of weed (neighbor is a pot shop.) Other than that, the ladies rubbing it was very professional and they delivered a delicious product. Chicken was perfectly cooked and a nice big piece and juicy! Sauces were bomb and fries were fresh and tasty. Will def be pack to pick up food in the future!

Small place in a hidden little corner but we were optimistic because of the reviews, the whole time we saw people coming in and out with GrubHub orders which just build up the anticipation while we waited for our food. I ordered mild because I get terrible heartburn and didn't bring my medication but that just means the sauce will be mild, if you're not a fan of spice you're out of luck because the chicken is all made the same which has a bit of a kick to it. The loaded fries look better than they taste, I took one bite and closed that back up. Prices are reasonable and service was great!

Good food. A hole in the wall gem. Good sized pieces of chicken and very well seasoned.

The chicken was big n spicy I enjoyed the taste of it the French fries n cole slaw was good. Good place to eat. Give it a try

Love their loaded fries with the Mac n cheese! Amazing food for a cheat lunch :) I am one happy camper.

First experience at Dave's Hot Chicken was great!The food was hot, fresh, and delicious. Service was excellent, Ernesto was really nice and made sure everything was taken care of. Definitely coming back!

So I saw a review of Cluckin Bun and thought I should try it out. I really wanted to like this place. I like small businesses and want to support them. The restaurant is not a very appealing place to eat, so I chose to take-out. The prices are pretty high, not a good deal especially compared to KFC or even Caines. The chicken sandwich was decent but nothing special. The real disappointment was with the Mac & Cheese side. It was definitely not fresh and there was very little cheese. I've had package m&c that was far better. I also ordered a single chicken tender which was a bit stale and the matching sauce wasn't packaged with it so I thought they forgot it until after I ate it and found it in the bag that had a fork and napkins. Would I go back? Probably not. If I do, I'm definitely not ordering the Mac & Cheese

LoadedFries Seriously Delicious enough to eat cold the next day! These Fries have Hot Cheeto dust on 'em N the tenderness of the strips‍DEF recommend this place to anyone who wants some bombchickenOMGflavor was on point, even at the hottestheat level clucking hot + tried this place 1x N already have plans to pickup before leaving Palm Springs‍

This was our first stop during our Palm Springs getaway. We were craving a spicy chicken sandwich and this place did not disappoint. The place is very bright and cheerful but very hot inside my daughter and I felt bad for the lady that took our order it felt like 90 degrees in there but that did not stop them from providing great service and food. Oh and I forgot to take a picture but we got strawberry churros. Delicious.

The loaded fries with Mac are the best with extra Cheeto topping. I'm always here and the sandwiches are the best

Looks like a hole in the wall, because it is. Mostly a to go place. Food was unremarkable. Honestly a KFC or Popeyes sandwich is better.

Guy who was running the place when I came was good people. The prices are reasonable and they offer crispy! Smells amazing in the place, too . They got the hotdog bun and slaw, straight up tenders, and the loaded fries. Went for the straight up tenders, which are full of flavor, like amazing flavor, and the guy hooked one up as a sandwich so I could try it. Did I mention the crinkle fries? Seasoned perfectly and the salts are perfect. Boom! Legit. On a side note, the honey mustard is fire!

They are not joking about their chix sandwich, love it! We have it to go but the place is neat and cool! There is only lady on the cashier but service is quick.

Just wanted to let it be known. I have tried all the buffalo wings, at every establishment known for their wings. Cluckin bun by far takes the cake for best wings and tanders in my book. The employees are also very nice fast and get you in and out very satisfied!! They take care to know people who are regulars by name. It's definitely my favorite spot.

I have been visiting frequently for the past two years or so. Last night, 10/08/24. at 9:11pm. I purchased my usual order loaded fries...... I was very disappointed because the chicken had a bad smell and a horrible aftertaste, I always give the chicken to my friend she couldn't eat it. I was only able to eat the fries shame on the person that served it to me.

This place is so good highly Recommend Great food great service i had the mother clucker kids had little clucker and the loaded fries has to Decide between the davarian cream and the cajeta churro both very good but have to say my fav was the cajeta thank you Gorge And cook for the great service in great food will come back again

Everything was good!! The cheese fries were really good as well, for my liking I like my chicken to be a bit on the dried side overall 9/10 also the graphics on the walls will give you a good laugh

You walk in here and are welcomed, plus the air the smells good . Food came out fire and also recommended me some cool spots to check out while I'm in town. Would definitely come back

The wings and hot chicken sandwich-- smakin' Their heat levels are on point. I got the hot, level 3/5 on spice. It was hot lol. Love the flavors and heat, but the coleslaw is banal at best. Just chucked it. Will continue to come back time and time again.

Paid 18 bucks for a order of loaded fries + mac n cheese, ate about half of it and my stomach started turning, its been 2 days and stomach ache has not reduced, likely food poisoning, beware.

every time we go there, it's always fabulous. Great service great food my kids love that food especially the load of fries. The people are there very clean and very polite it's a must try !

Food is great, and service is good! Will definitely come back soon. The loaded fries are amazing.

Last night we tried Cluckin Bun for the first time. Other reviews said better than Dave's and Canes so we HAD to try and it was so worth it! Erica was working and she was so amazing. Made us a truly delicious meal. We're only in town a few days but we will be back for more next visit! Highly recommend the clucker meals and the tender meal. Fries had great flavor and Mac and cheese was hot and CHEEEEESEY. Worth the wait! We went later in the night so the place was quiet but the clever paintings matching the menu was entertaining and a great photo op! Thank you for an excellent meal!

I came today 08/19/2022 to purchase my lunch and to redeem my $5 off coupon that Cluckin Bun sent me for my birthday, The guy and the lady Vanessa refused to let me use my $5 off for my food because they said that the email was sent on July 31st and that I couldn't use it (even that it says to use it between 08/01/2022 till 08/31/2022). That doesn't make sense because they sent me the email on July 31st. Night for my August use. This place just lies to the customers sending coupons and then when you go, you can't redeem it. They put so many excuses so I don't use it. The food is good, that's why I gave a 2 star review, otherwise I wouldn't put any starts. Im very disappointed with this place, I know it's only $5 off...but it $5 that I could've saved!!!! I'll post the screenshot of the email with the coupon we're it says FOR USE BETWEEN 08/01 till 08/31. They are liars!!!!

The service is absolutely terrible. Staff do not know what they are doing and rude. Food was mid at best

When your craving a good chicken sandwich this is the spot . They have the perfect amount of spice . They are my after work special.
