Cluck-A-Doodle-Doo

This place has been my go-​to drunk food for my 7ish years at OSU! Their menu is HUGE with fried okra to Mac-​n-​cheese bites and massive sammies with almost disgusting amounts of toppings named after animals (taking after PJs). I would never ever order this sober/​during the day. But definitely suggest it for your Saturday night 3am fried food craving! :-P

Just ordered from here for the first time tonight. My order consisted of 6 Tenders with Sweet BBQ and Cluck-​A-​Doodle sauce, a side of Mac and Cheese and a can of Dr Pepper.
This place is your basic late night munchie food. The chicken was pretty good but the Mac and Cheese was absolutely amazing. It was super cheesy and delicious. The food took 15 minutes to arrive and was still hot and ready to go. The cluck a doodle sauce was pretty good too. It was just your basic hot sauce with a pretty nice kick and flavor. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a great late night snack.

This is based mostly off of the delivery order I placed yesterday night. I ordered some wings online at around 1230. The website states that delivery times are around 40 – 60 minutes. 60 minutes later there was no delivery and no word from them yet. I figured I’d cut them some slack since it was late on gameday saturday and they probably got a lot of orders. However, 30 minutes later there was still nothing, and I called in and the phone never got picked up. I’d pretty much given up on ever getting the food but then at 2:30 the delivery guy showed up with the food. No apology, just a thanks and he was gone. The food wasn’t great. I had ordered wings, curly fries, and some mac and cheese. The sides were pretty chilled and the fries had not been made crispy as requested. The wings were alright, pretty fatty and a little soggy. I don’t really expect a lot out of delivery food like this, but 2 hours delivery to wait for this is unacceptable, especially without any courtesy calls and not picking up the phone when called.
That being said, I’ve eaten in the restaraunt a couple times and it’s a better experience overall.
My tips: if you want wings, get wings over columbus if theyre open, and never order clucks delivery. It’s just not food that holds up if it isnt eaten within 10 – 20 minutes

The place is great. the food is amazing especially the mega shark The workers are all amazing and friendly. It’s one of the best food place at OSU!!!

Probably one of the greasiest sandwiches I’ve ever had. There was a bunch of ingredients, but they all just tasted like oil. I don’t care how many coupons I get for this place, I’m not going to eat this again.

My co-​worker and I were in town for a convention in April 2015 and ordered food delivery from this restaurant. We ordered two different sandwiches, and we both only ate half the sandwich. Within 1 hour of finishing our dinner we both became ill. We both started with sever stomach cramps, and diarrhea all night and well into the next day.
Proceed with CAUTION!!!

They deliver late and the food was decent. Was better than the local pizza place we had eaten at a few days prior. Being in OH for ROTR finding a place open that late was pretty nice.
The main reason for my rating was their mac ‘n cheese bite they had. Dipping mac ‘n cheese bites in ranch didn’t seem like they’d mix but it did. They also had a good burger but it wasn’t that out standing

I would put zero stars if I could. Food was disgusting. I ordered a sub and the chicken inside it was chewy. It tasted like it was frozen and reheated couple times. Waste of money. Never coming back.

So, I was supposed to have brunch with George Takei (of Star Trek fame) today, but instead I spent the morning into afternoon holed up in my hotel room with whatever the Columbus, Ohio version of Montezuma’s Revenge is, thanks to what was possibly the most repulsive meal I’ve ever been served.
I was going to give 2-​stars because the girl who took my order was well spoken and somewhat helpful, but the events that transpired prevent me being generous with deuce stars. And it’s not like I expected some gourmet ish or anything, but I was at least hoping for something that was edible.
I was staying at a hotel located roughly a quarter mile from CADD when I saw their menu, which featured like 8 different variations of fries, in the hotel lobby. I wasn’t super hungry but I LOVE fries and kind of always have that underlying ‘I could eat’ feeling, so I went for it and called in an order to be delivered (they’re open and deliver until 4am) to my hotel just shy of 1am.
After that it was all downhill.
I ordered:
* Buffalo Fries
* Cheese fries w/​jalapenos
* Buffalo Shrimp
Order total: $ 14.85 + $ 5 cash tip for driver because it was the smallest bill I had.
*Was told delivery time for 2 orders of fries and shrimp would be 45 minutes. Actual deliver time was just shy of 2 ½ hours at 3:30am. Which sucked for a number of reasons, #1 being that at that point I was more exhausted than hungry and would have preferred just falling asleep.
*I’d already gotten into my PJs and was sure to ask the girl on the phone if the driver would deliver right to my room or just to the lobby, as my PJs are NSFPublic (not because they’re racy but because they’re basically being held together by various permanent food stains and I prefer to keep that visual a secret) and I’d planned on not ordering if it meant I was going to have to put on real pants and shoes again to go down to the lobby. The girl on the phone said it depends on the hotel security if the driver can come up or not, and I figured that since my hotel had zero lobby or otherwise security that I’d be good to stay within the confines of my room. That unfortunately didn’t end up being the case because the driver didn’t want to make the trip up the elevator, so I ended up having suit up and go down for my cold-​ass 2.5 hour-​old food.
*I open the bag of food and the first thing I pull out is the single napkin they packed with my order that’s crumpled up, wet, and appears to have already been used by someone else.
*The buffalo fries had sogged and congealed together to form one mass glob and it looked like all someone did was put one pump of buffalo sauce right in the middle.
*The cheese + jalapeño fries where the container was about 40% coagulated cheese substance. It was pretty close to being inedible.
*The buffalo shrimp were downright disgusting. I don’t even think there was shrimp in there. If I had to guess, I’d say it was closer to heavily breaded bits of earthworms and there was no buffalo sauce included. There was, however, a small container with a shot of straight drained grease. I stuck my fork in to attempt to stir and do a taste check and sure enough, just thick oil-​y grease shot. No buffalo. It smelled so bad that I had to dump it down my hotel bathroom sink, which i know you aren’t supposed to do with grease but this was an emergency. Trust. The sh*t was so thick it just pooled over the drain and stayed there. About 4 minutes later I heard a gurgle from the bathroom that ended up being the sound of the grease finally starting to make it’s way down the drain.
*It was hard to eat more than a few bites of any of it, so I ended up trashing 85% of my $ 20 meal and then writhing in pain the rest of the night from my stomach’s disagreeable reaction to the absolutely abhorrent food.
Hands down the foul-​est food experience I’ve ever had… and this is coming from a person who accidentally ate a cat litter particle a few weeks ago thinking it was fallen oatmeal chocolate chip cook bit.
Not fit for human consumption would be the simplest way to describe my meal from here.

Pretty fast, but the same as Burger King
I don’t know why, but I had a great desire to have some Cluck delivered to my job. They have online ordering which was awesome so I did my order and noted the time finished to see how long it would take. The restaurant called and asked if I wanted cheese on my burger which made me feel like they pay attention to details.
I had the cheese and bacon fries with the bbq burger add bacon. The food arrived fast, so fast I wasn’t ready yet! Once I picked up I went to experience the food. On first glance I was not impressed. The fries looked pretty basic and they used bacon bits and can cheese. The burger I could tell was not quality meat even though they claim angus on their site. The fries were phenomenal. I liked how the fries tasted by themselves, but the bacon bits and cheese definitely upped the flavor. Now the burger was not impressive at all. On first bite it reminded me of burger king without the flame broiled char. It was sloppy and the meat was not the high grade I have become accustomed to. I’m sure if I still at McDonalds and Wendys I would not have had a problem with the burger.
High marks on ease of ordering, delivery speed and fries. Low marks on the burger.

I was down on campus waiting to pick someone up at about midnight, and I attempted to go into UDF for a hot dog or something, only to find the roller grill depressingly barren.
Looking across the street, I noticed that Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo was open, so I decided to give them a shot.
I walked in and asked the person at the counter «What can I get fairly fast?»
She told me they could have a Gyro for me in under five minutes, so I went with it. I wouldn’t call it the best Gyro I’ve ever had, but it was pretty darn decent, and they had it ready for me before I’d finished ducking into their bathroom to wash my hands!
If you need a late night, cheap, probably terrible for you food option around campus, these guys can hook you right up!

This place needs to only make wings. Period. And not in a good way. The food is gross they do not tell you about major things in their food like bacon. Hello not everyone eats bacon and when something is described as broccoli and cheese there should be NO meat. YUCK. The only thing I will say is their wings are just OK. Ive had way worse and way better.

This review is based just on the fried pickles I ate a while back. They deliver until pretty late, and I was getting a craving for fried pickles. Most places do not carry this item, but I ran across Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo and they did. I ordered that with some chicken wings. The wings were decent. Nothing too special. But the fried pickles were so good! They are fried spears and have a spicy kick in the batter. I would eat there again just to get pickles. I probably will soon.

Close relative to the venerable PJ’s Grill up on Frambes, Cluck is an old standby of mine from my days of living in Morrison Tower. Too drunk to function? Pick up a Mega Squirrel just three blocks from home. To be honest, I’ve never purchased anything else from here other than their Mega-​Whatevers, just as I’ve only ever bought Fat Bitches from PJ’s. I’ve always contended that Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo is better because their sandwiches are less bread-y…but I’ve only eaten there sober once. Nice and tasty, and more than filling enough to soak up whatever you spent the past few hours ingesting.

The night was late and this was one of the only places I knew of open… but the chicken strips did me rightttttt. Good, big chunks of white meat and delish sauce. Not sure how I would feel going back at a more appropriate hour in the day though…

Stopped in tonight to see what all the fuss was about. ;) After I found a parking space, which was no easy trick, I looked over the menu and ordered a «chicken steak hoagie», or at least that’s what I think it was. But whatever, it was GOOD! And it was only $ 5.50. That’s a hard-​to-​beat price when you consider the size of the sandwich and the ingredients on it. If I lived closer I’d be there all the time. Oh, one thing that I would suggest they change is to get a crustier bun.

We lived in an apartment only a few blocks away, so cluck-​a-​doodle-​doo was a great choice.
If you’ve never had it, I would highly suggest getting a dozen chicken wings, with the house sauce on them. The house sauce is amazing, a perfect blend of spicy with a small slap of tangy BBQ. They fry the wings up perfectly too.
My girlfriend is a huge fan of the chicken strips in the same sauce.
Don’t get your normal medium, or hot, instead try the house sauce it’s delicious.
The place is definitely in the dive category, a hole in a wall on a side of the building, but don’t let looks get you down. It’s what they make that counts.

Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo has no pretensions about what it is. It is a «value» restaurant on a college campus. Large quantities at low prices and very little effort. I think this place could do a few things at little cost that could greatly increase their success. The first would be to put more effort into the food. They could properly marinade or season the chicken before frying it (and not to fry it too long). A smaller menu may help too, so that they can focus more on what they make and make it right. As another reviewer mentioned, the place does look cleaner and if they put that effort into the food they could get more repeat business and a better reputation. They are already paying for the chicken, might as well make it one worth buying.

It’s hard to review a place like Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo because it’s hard to believe they want to be taken all that seriously. Look: they offer deadly food at insanely cheap prices until ungodly hours of the night. It’s actually a pretty common modus operandi on any college campus, and with a campus as big as ours the situation can only be worse. Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo operates on an even lower rung, anchoring their menu around what they call their «Mega Subs.»
Now I don’t know when people started putting so many things on sub buns. It wasn’t until a few years in Columbus that I noticed anyone doing it, and now it’s some sort of mini-​rage for late-​night delivery places. Nothing good can come from putting chicken tenders, buffalo sauce, ranch and fries on a huge hoagy roll. Nothing.
And yet, with all that said, I’m something of a frequent customer of Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo. Maybe I secretly hate my body very much and wish it harm. In my defense they’re definitely the closest food joint to my apartment– I’d bet good money that as soon as I move out of this place, I’ll never eat their food again. But even as I may recognize them as stroke-​inducing and liver-​swelling, I keep coming back for their soggy, limp take on disco fries– that’d be cheese and gravy fries. Oh yes.
Still, it’s a very regretful love affair. I always regret eating at Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo. In some corner of my mind, I’ll always regret having eaten there in the first place.
But I won’t stop. Not yet.

I didn’t think I would ever want to try Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo, which recently moved in to the dilapidated building behind Champs Market. This was partly due to the state of the shack and partially because I was positive the food couldn’t be any better than say, PJ’s.
Over the course of a quarter I noticed small improvements to Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo. A fresh paint job and a new sign. I figured if they were putting so much money into improving their looks, they might actually have enough money to make decent food.
One evening during our usual gaming night we decided it was the perfect time to try Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo. They’re just a block away so we could walk over instead of paying a delivery charge. And the idea is «no delivery time = hot food».
I have to say I was impressed with the cleanliness of the inside. Now, there’s no room to really dine-​in, one table with a few chairs is all that’s available and something tells me those chairs are usually occupied by the staff. We ordered our food at the counter and only had to wait 5 minutes before our meals were ready.
This place suffers from the curse of «too many things on the menu». Everything was passable but nothing was outstanding. Subs, fries, burgers, and wings along with a hefty number of various sides, all of them fried. I had their boneless wings. I wasn’t a fan of the chicken, they were tiny nuggets instead of strips. The sauce (medium) actually had flavor as well as heat. And this was a good solid medium! None of that pussy shit.
Overall, I wouldn’t order something like Cluck-​A-​Doodle-​Doo on a normal basis, but if you happen to be walking down Worthington and craved something to eat that didn’t come in a can or a bag you might be in luck.
