Cluck Chicken's journey to its own brick-and-mortar was a decade in the making.
The chicken mural at Cluck Chicken was hand painted by local tattoo artists from a shop nearby on Broadway.I'm sitting next to a larger-than-life painting of a chicken with Rachael Hebel, discussing Southern stuff like the latest season of SEC college football and our grandmothers' methods of frying chicken in cast iron. The owner ofis the picture of relief as she chats in her restaurant at 1384 South Broadway, which opened last August after many unexpected delays.
Cluck Chicken's journey to its own brick-and-mortar was a decade in the making. It started as a food truck in 2012 and eventually moved into the kitchen inside the Dive Inn, just next door to its new, standalone home. Cluck Chicken offers chicken tenders with a variety of sauce options as well as the chicken sandwich on Texas toast.Now Hebel hopes to spread the word about the new location to her previous food truck and Dive Inn customers. “The chicken is the same,” she notes. “Obviously, we’ve grown. I used to start with a little bag of flour, and now we use 100 pounds of flour a week. I just want people to know we’re open.
The new space also allows Hebel to introduce new menu items, such as her housemade pickles, which are fried in a beer batter. The chicken baskets still pair well with a cocktail from next door, too."You can order food here and take it back to the Dive Inn to eat it," she notes.
