Cluckin' Bell is a fast food restaurant chain specializing in chicken-based food products that appears in the 3D Universe of the Grand Theft Auto series.
Description[]
![]() |
In the 3D Universe's continuity, Cluckin' Bell was established in 1982. The first commercial states that Cluckin' Bell breed chickens with "Six wings, forty breasts" before quickly gassing them to death. Their stock prices fell when they denied using factory farms, although the song suggests that their stock price has risen again. The second is a dig at animal rights protesters, and suggests that Cluckin' Bell previously served rats along with the chicken but is no longer doing so. It also implies that they use chemicals which result in breast swelling in humans.

In 1994, Cluckin' Bell was taken to court in Ohio, winning the case after no link could be found between Cluckin' Bell meals and mammary gland swelling. The Cluckin' Bell website also says that the company takes no responsibility for erectile dysfunction, hair loss, heart disease, brain shrinkage, obesity, stomach ulcers, blindness or teenage acne. The website also documents how a "recent" case against the company ended after the judge in Mexico City was killed.
Cluckin' Bell sponsors the Beat The Cock Challenge, two triathlons in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas which take place at Santa Maria Beach, Los Santos and Palomino Creek Beach, Red County. Posters for the challenge are located at various points around San Andreas, including the Cobra Marital Arts Gym.
Cluckin' Bell employees are often depicted as disgruntled and rude workers, uttering spiteful lines such as “If you come back, you’re a moron”, "clucketty-fuck, place your order", or “I hope you choke-a-doodle-doo!”
In Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, a billboard advertises Cluckin' Bell's "Fowl Wrap" which sells for 99 cents; however, there are no Cluckin' Bell restaurants in-game.

Theme Songs[]
In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, the company's two theme songs featured in their somewhat odd radio advertisements, and their website, are below.
- The first is as follows
Cock a doodle doo it's time for a feast!
Eat a 90 piece bucket, you can tell,
He's been to Cluckin' Bell!
The chicken is a bird with a tiny brain,
So we assume he doesn't feel any pain,
We shrink their heads and we breed 'em fast,
Six wings, forty breasts, then they're gassed,
Cock a doodle doo we're psychotic crazies,
Cock a doodle doo factory farming's insane,
We denied it all before our stock price fell,
Come down to Cluckin' Bell!
the chicken didn't die in vain!”
- The second song is as follows
Cock-a-doodle-do, and we can't be stopped,
All you protesters can go to hell,
It's time for Cluckin' Bell!
From the factory farmer to your plate,
The chicken's life is a sorry state,
It's pumped full of chemicals, but what the hell,
They even make my breasts swell!
Filled full of hormones, so they get fat,
At least we no longer slip in a rat,
I love chicken with a shitty smell,
And that's why I love Cluckin' Bell!
Note: The website song[1] is a bit modified, missing the: Cluckin' Bell: If you enjoyed it, the chicken didn't die in vain! part.
Influence[]
Cluckin' Bell is most likely based on Taco Bell and KFC. Taco Bell uses a bell logo, KFC serves fried chicken, and both companies are owned by the same parent corporation. It is possible that Cluckin' Bell could also be based on Popeyes, because of the color scheme. The name may come from a quote from the episode "Goodbyeee" of British comedy series Blackadder Goes Forth, which contains the line "I think the phrase rhymes with clucking bell", a censored form of the phrase fucking hell. The franchise is probably inspired by Cluck-U Chicken, as both names are minced oaths. Elements of the chain seem to be a parody of Chick-fil-A, including the employee dressed as a chicken (possibly a reference to Chick-fil-A's cows), and some of the slogans used by the company.
Menu[]
Cluckin' Bell, like other fast food outlets in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, offer the player four meals, each with different quantities of fat, with the Salad Meal being the only fat-free option. In Las Venturas, the pricing of the Cluckin' Big Meal, Cluckin' Huge Meal and Salad Meal are 20% higher than in the rest of the state, as noted below:
Image | Meal | Cost | Fat % + |
---|---|---|---|

Cluckin' Little Meal | $ 2 | 1% |

Cluckin' Big Meal | $ 5/$6 | 2% |

Locations[]
Like other fast-food outlets in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, Cluckin' Bell is present in all major cities in San Andreas. Within rural San Andreas, the chain has only one outlet within town limits (Angel Pine), and two outlets at intersections outside Tierra Robada and Fort Carson. Although the mission Drive-Thru has Carl use the drive-thru at the Willowfield branch, most other times it can only be accessed through the front door. All locations feature a cashier who is openly hateful of his customers, often berating them for even buying food there ("If you come back, you're a moron."). There is a Cluckin' Bell outlet in Market, Los Santos, which is unmarked on the map in the original PS2 version.

Trivia[]
General[]
- The Cluckin' Huge Meal features "wing pieces" in a bucket, a clear reference to typical chicken-based fast food restaurants which often serve chicken pieces in buckets, usually for larger, more expensive menus.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas[]
- In a beta screenshot, the employee is seen to be much fatter and dons a much-too-tight shirt.
- The back of the employee's shirt has writing that reads: "Taste the cock", a deliberate reference to oral sex.[2]
- Cluckin' Bell is the only fast-food restaurant where it is not possible to access the kitchen by using the door in the back.
- The employee in the store is voiced by Joe Lo Truglio, who later voiced Vincenzo Cilli in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories.
- In GTA San Andreas, Radio X DJ Sage comments about how she "did a guy" behind Cluckin' Bell during the intro to Primal Scream's "Movin' On Up".
- In the mission Drive-Thru, Carl Johnson, Sweet Johnson, Big Smoke, and Ryder receive Burger Shot boxes instead of Cluckin' Bell boxes.
- Cluckin' Bell had a website on the real-life internet, designed in HTML 2.0 style, but running on Flash. The site displayed the menu and advertising from GTA San Andreas. After the end of support for Flash, the website was taken offline on 12 December 2020. It now serves as a redirect to the Rockstar Games main page.
- At the Cluckin' Bell drive-thru restaurant, there are posters for the "Cluckin' Little Kids' Meal" and the "Cluckin' Huge Meal", and the price "$1.99" written on both posters. However, the actual menu item for "Cluckin' Huge Meal" costs $10 rather than $1.99. One can infer that the kids' meal also costs the exact same as a huge meal.
- In certain Cluckin' Bell restaurants, cups with the Burger Shot logo can be seen on cup dispensers. Burger Shot can also be seen written on the screen of the counter, meaning the same model from the Burger Shot restaurants was used.
- If the player spooks anyone in the restaurant, everyone will either put their hands up or cower in fear. This behavior also extends to cops when they appear in the restaurant during wanted levels of at least three stars. They will not attack the player, instead performing the aforementioned animations like everyone else, with them still carrying their pistol in their hand. This also applies when spooking people at Pizza Stack and Burger Shot branches.
- In The Definitive Edition, the employees have a nametag that says "wmybell" on it. This is the character's model name within the game files - White Male Young Cluckin' Bell.
