Clucker’s Charcoal Chicken

The first time we came here, we got the half chicken with a couple of sides. It was fine, nothing to write home about, so I figured we’d probably not be back that often.
But a couple of weeks ago, with a new baby on a snowy night, I ordered my husband to just «get some takeout, whatever, I don’t care just order for me.» He ordered from Cluckers and it was AMAZING. He had the bbq brisket and he ordered me the chicken kebabs. The brisket (with sweet potato fries) was delicious– tender with a great sauce. And I’m not kidding, the kebabs are my new favorite restaurant meal. I loved it so much I came back a week later and got it again, this time dining in. My husband got bbq wings and regular fries the second go round, and they were awesome too. So we are officially cluckers converts, and I’m already looking forward to my next kebab meal.

Above expectations. We decided to go here on a whim based on a co workers recommendation. It was a bit of a drive but we were really happy with what we found.
The rotisserie chicken was great, it was so juicy and delicious. For you are w chicken guy like me then it is worth the visit.
We also tried the wings. The wings were decent. A little too over fried and over sauced for my liking, but they were a decent size and decently flavored.

I love Cluckers. I mean it. I could eat there everyday, if only my family would agree! It’s not about anything but the chicken for me. Everything else I have had is very good, sides included but I am completely in love with the plain, roasted chicken. Reasonably priced and always great. It does get very busy so be prepared to wait for your food. Don’t let that scare you though. Go go go.

Always great food here. I love the turkey burger, enchiladas, and the soup is fantastic. The chicken beignets are the best «chicken nuggets» I’ve ever had. Red beans and rice, reds, and mashed are my choices for sides. You won’t be disappointed.

We happened upon the new Cluckers in Libertyville. What a treat! We had a group of 10 and everyone loved their meals and great service. I had the chicken over slaw. It was great. The sweet potatoe fries were also great. Others tried the enchiladas, quarter roaster and chicken salad. Everyone raved about the meal. We will definitely be back to visit Cluckers in Libertyville again!

Best enchiladas I have ever had… and I have had a lot of them. Phenomenal salads also.

The salads are delicious! Tried the Chop Chop tonight. Delicious! Generous and fresh!

My son wanted to come here again. He liked his sandwich. I figured I’d get wings since it’s a chicken place. Wings were not good. They were room temp and felt a little slimy. The people at the counter are ALWAYS pleasant. I will try one more time…

The customer service is phenomenal. The rotisserie chicken was cooked to perfection. We bought the full chicken which came with two sides and tortillas and one side of sauce (our choice of the flavor).
The tortillas were slightly raw — cook those a little longer before rolling them in foil. And the chicken itself could have used some more seasoning. It was very plain. The sauce — we ordered the green tomatillo/​salsa verde — was good, but lacked any heat (and I believe we were told it was the spiciest). Also, the two small cups of sauce they give you aren’t enough for a whole chicken.
My husband very much enjoyed the beans. He said they were very flavorful. I ate the rice and thought it was just so-​so. I’ve had better, but it wasn’t terrible or inedible. My husband had the Jamaica water and said it was delicious.
All in all, I would go back to try some of their other products — but I’m not sure I would recommend this particular dish.
I would recommend that the owner go to Lomeli’s Rosticeria in Round Lake, Ill. Their chicken is cooked just as well, has much more flavor, and customers are given larger sides and more of them for a cheaper price. I realize that it’s not always about portions, but I think it would provide a nice perspective on what other rotisseries are doing in the area and might help Clucker’s improve.

Not only is this some of the best food, but the service is outstanding. They quickly accommodated my special needs brother and me when we made last minute changes in our order. If you’re looking for good chicken then try their brick roasted chicken it was to die for

Just dropped in. What a find!!! I was met with really friendly service. I know it’s not weather for chicken tortilla soup, but it was wonderful and fresh. The Chicken in soup and chicken taco was flavorful and tender. Look forward to the other items on the menu. I will definitely recommend and bring family and friends. Ordering take out will also be on the agenda.

So delicious! I’m not even a huge chicken fan, but this stuff is so juicy, the sauces and sides are amazing, brisket is unbelievable and their huge salad and poppy dressing are perfect. My only complaint is that it isn’t 2 feet from my house.

The food was delicious. The service at a superficial level was decent. Upon ordering chicken tenders and chicken mac n cheese a couple months ago, I found that the Mac n cheese was without chicken, which I paid a few dollars extra for. I didn’t mind, because the food was still good, but I mentioned it in the automatic quality survey email. I was surprised and impressed that the owner, Reed (?), called me within an hour to follow up and offer a free chicken mac n cheese in my next order. He was possible the nicest food service member I have encountered. Today, I took the owner up on his offer and called in another order of chicken mac n cheese and tenders. This time I found A PLASTIC LID inside my mac n cheese!!! I called in about it, just to inform the staff that someone in their crew made a pretty serious mess up. I repeated myself to the manager, only to be hung up on. All in all, delicious food, OUTSTANDING OWNER, terrible management, and unacceptable attention to detail.

Great place. Their salads and quesadillas are good but the main event is the chicken parm but over mashed potatoes instead of noodles. It’s not on the menu but the old man will make it. Says it’s on the secret menu. He’s a good dude for sure try it

Man do they know how to grill some chicken! Yum! The sides are delicious. Will definitely be back again :)

Cluckers is a solid choice for lunch or dinner. Its fast, its fresh, the restaurant is clean, the employees are nice, there are healthy options, food is quite tasty and the portions and pricing are good.
All the salads are delicious — my favorite being the Cajun Crispy Salad. The Cajun Crispy sandwich and the Enchiladas are also top on my list.
I also do enjoy seeing their chicken-​mobiles driving around with glowing red eyes.

I love Cluckers! I have been a customer for years. Everything is great. The chicken chili and salads are my go to items.
I recently had Cluckers cater a staff party at work and everyone could not stop raving about the food. Everything arrived on time, piping hot, and delicious. The management worked with me for weeks helping me create the custom menu. They entire experience was amazing! I can’t wait to have them cater my next event!

On the North Shore seeing a chick mobile full of saucy birds and a cock head driving isn’t unusual.
But this one stood out. A mobile food truck with a big rooster head on the roof and packed with hot roasted chicken sounds intriguing. I didn’t get to try it until my friend invited me over and he ordered a selection for dinner.
The charcoal grilled chicken wasn’t as juicy as I hoped and lacked charcoal marks so it was disappointing but serviceable. My pal liked it much more.
The red beans & rice wasn’t as seasoned as I would like and could have been heartier. When I say seasoning, I don’t mean spice (though that could be good) I mean herbs and a richer and fresher stock.
Garlic smashed potatoes I didn’t really taste the garlic. They weren’t as bland as many chicken joints. So there was some cream and ya could see they were hand smashed. I liked these more than Will but would have put some Irish butter or something on had I my druthers.
We finished with the bread pudding which was good.
I would try it again. There’s a full menu of things to order and they might have tweaked what we had. Plus I wanna know if that truck crows when it honks.

This place is pretty good. Not the best I ever been to, but there isn’t anything better around here. I had the Chicken kabob which was served with rice. It was really good. My wife had the ½ clucker with fries. The fries were not very good, but chicken was good. I would suggest getting another side besides the fries. Heard they are great, but my kids wanted fries, so we got fries.

To be honest, I didn’t enjoy the chicken here as much as I did the sides. I ordered «The Mother Hen» special over the phone and it was packaged perfectly to-​go. The entire meal only cost $ 19 and included a whole chicken, 2 slaws, 2 sides (garlic smashed reds, red beans & rice), tortillas and 2 sauces (Clucker’s style, BBQ). The chicken was definitely juicy but lacked the charcoal flavor I was looking for. Despite that, I didn’t feel the chicken needed either of the sauces. The Clucker’s style sauce was WAY too sweet (I felt like I was pouring pure honey on my chicken). The sides were both delicious — especially the garlic smashed reds. Also, take my advice and order the corn on the cob. They offer regular corn OR Mexican-​style (I ordered the Mexican-​style). Delicious!
To top off the meal (because obviously this wasn’t enough food.) I ordered a brownie, family cookie bag and Clucker’s bread pudding. The brownie was my least favorite — it was too chocolate-​y and covered in powdered sugar. The cookies were good but I only wish they offered chocolate chip instead of oatmeal. But the best of the desserts came when I tried the bread pudding. The caramel sauce was so good I came close to drinking it out of the styrofoam cup it came from.
