Shack is huge. Great bar! Selection of many varieties of chicken and chops. I had a chop and gizzards. Chop was good but a bit dry. Gizzards were great. Was with a large group. Service was great! read more

Second visit, the food is good, but the service is sketchy at best. The wait staff seemed lost and confused. We had to try to flag someone down to get any kind of help, and no the main dining room was not that busy. When it came time to pay for our food nobody knew what to charge us because they couldn't find anything in their system. I honestly don't understand how we got our food at all. SMDH read more

Ok this was some Crispy awesomeness. We went for a company lunch and it was great. Wish I had it in some Buffalo sauce but not too shabby. Fried pickles were pretty good and did I mention then chicken?!? Looking forward to coming back without the crowd. Bar was pretty cool where we ate and the server was pretty nice. read more

Chicken Shack - Chicken Wings Near Me - Arcadia, Oklahoma

What has happened to this place. Tried three times in the past few months hoping my experience was an anomaly. I guess they've just lost their fastball. Chicken is small and overcooked each time and everything has gotten so expensive. Love the place as a hang. Food has just gotten bad. I mean it's not that hard to cook fried chicken in a broaster. There is either new kitchen management or they have just stopped caring. It's a shame as it's always been one of our favorite places. Just makes me mad. read more

$50 for two entrees, sodas, and an app but the chicken had no seasoning. It was so bland and rubbery. Very disappointing as the place always seems so busy, but the food quality has really gone downhill apparently. read more

Food/service terrible. Started by ordering icy mug of beer. There were only about 6 other tables in whole huge building. Beer sat on the bar for a good ten minutes because bartender couldn't walk it a few feet to our table and we finally had to wave down our waitress to get it. Our appetizer and entrees came out all at once , after a long wait. Appetizer cold! All you can eat catfish, 3 small peices. Sent back appetizer, ordered more fish Sat and waited and waited. Finally waitress sent manager over. Excuse was they only had one cook for the whole restaurant. Will not be back. read more

Oh my god. I was traveling Route 66, and this is a place you can get your Route 66 passport stamped!!! We were sort of in a hurry so we got the cheesesticks to split. Oh MY GOD. Best cheese sticks I have ever had in my LIFE. I found out when I used the restroom that they brought us an extra order by accident and my family SENT IT BACK. I was devastated I would have eaten more. Please PLEASE get the cheese sticks. I hope to return to try more chicken dishes!!! read more

Food is just decent. You can honestly get better chicken elsewhere (RIP Chicken Foot). I also realize that the old furniture is supposed to be somewhat chic, but what you're actually getting is broken down garage sale and barn finds. We were given three different high chairs for our daughter, all of which were broken in various ways (ripped strap, legs falling apart, etc) before deciding to sit and eat our food with her in our laps. Chicken Shack is a running joke in our house, and the place we suggest when we're being playful and unserious. We honestly don't know why anyone goes here. Sorry to be so harsh. read more

This not a fun review to expound on. I absolutely love Chicken Shack. I usually eat at the one in Arcadia. It's a nice drive and nice scenery. However, The last 2 times we've eaten there. We place our orders. Wait staff is always nice and friendly. Our Wairess today was no exception. Polite and eager to help. 0rdered our chicken. It came just a bit to quick. Looking at it. I could tell it was more than over cooked. Same as the last time we ate there. Being a Chef. I knew exactly what was done to get our order out. Like last time. We received our order in record time. It looked like a sacrificial offering to the fire gods. I commented to my friend this is the same thing they did to us last time. We waited for our waitress to come back by. She asked. "Is everything alright" I said I would like to express a concern. Yes, she replied. I told her. I would appreciate fresh cooked chicken not reheated chicken that had been just waiting for the next none food person to come along and they get rid of their left overs to them. If I come and pay your price for what we expect to be fresh cooked chicken. Then we should have fresh chicken every single time we come. I'm tired of restaurants serving people who DONT KNOW any better the left overs from earlier in the afternoon or even lunch at dinner time. I've also noticed the chickens have been smaller. You can order chickens by size and specification both. The chicken again today was reheated by dropping it back in the fryer to heat it back up. One thing I'm going to boldly say is Stop making your miss managed kitchen my problem. I pay full price. Cook the chicken fresh or give me a discount equal to the Chicken _ _ _ _ you're trying to serve me. Of course those who don't know will eat it and say nothing because they don't know to. However, no matter how successful you've been. You keep serving this crap to your customers and you won't be serving enough customers at some point to keep the doors open. I will be disappointed if your managers have been telling the cooks to reheated the chicken and serve it so there's no waste. That's way wrong especially since you obviously don't care about customer satisfaction. Don't give a lame watered down excuse that your people don't do this. I'll call BS immediately. I know better. I've been a Chef longer than probably anyone working in your restaurant. You cannot fool me. If you keep this up. You can count on me to go to other great chicken places for this style of chicken which if done right is second to none. If your going to hire young people to keep your ship afloat. Then get someone in there to watch and train them that knows what the heck they are doing. BTW, I've eaten at the CS on north Western and the one in Harrah. You don't have much leg to stand on those 2 places either. I'm not only sad that your staff does not care, or doesn't know the difference. But truly. You guys best get a grip on your wonderful staff. A well trained wait staffer would never have brought that chicken to our table. Now before you go there. No, we didn't finish the meal. The 15 feral cats we have out on the Ranch and horses. Love the chicken. Horses? Yes, bet you didn't know those animals can be Carnivors did you? I have talked to your restaurant manager the first time this happen. He wanted to pay for our meal. I flat refuse to let any manager anywhere buy me off with a free meal or desserts at no charge. He agreed the chicken was burnt last time. I cleared the very nice young lady of any guilt in this matter before she left the table. Told please do not send your manager over to my table. I'm expressing this concern to you because I love your concept and food. But, I will not tolerate it any more. Fix it right. Or tell me youre out of chicken like the girl told me youre out of Sweetpotato fries. I hope you'll look into this. Need help don't call Gordon R. I'll do it. I promise you will not have to worry about this huge lack of management skills happening again. Owner/s, if you really care fix your restaurant. If it's a tax write off. Your own your own. But in the not to near future. You'll be looking out the front door wondering what happened. I've spoken this in friendship. Food is my life. I've been doing every aspect of foodserve since the early 70s. I know what I speak off. Now thousands of others do too. read more

Service was awesome!!!!! Nice, clean restaurant. Chicken was ok. Wings had no batter at all. Just deep fried and very greasy. Bbq sauce was very ketchup-ey. Mac & cheese tasted like straight Velveeta. Not worth the 30 min drive. But the staff and service was awesome!!!!!!! read more

Went there for a late lunch. Saw two other tables with people eating. The place was almost empty. It was very decorated very rustic inside. Got the gizzards and fries and broasted chicken with jalapeño cornbread. The gizzards are really, really good! The fries are crispy on the outside. If they would have been served hot, they would have been perfect. They were just warm. The broasted chicken was very flavorful! The jalapeño cornbread was disappointing. That's the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. I could see green slices in the cornbread, but not spicy and no pepper flavor at all. Why call it jalapeño cornbread if you can't taste the jalapeño at all? The bathroom needed some care. Service was nice and friendly. read more

There are two parts of the chicken shack, one is amazing and the other not as great. The shack is amazing, but the chicken is not as much. I love the shack. It is truly a huge and amazing place. The bar is amazing and there is even an upstair seating area when it's busy. The outside area is even better, spacious and beautiful. There was live music playing, but I am not sure if it's also available on weekdays or not. The shack was crowded on this particular Sunday afternoon. Most customers visit from nearby towns as Arcadia has a population of less than 200. The fried chicken was okay. Crispy and crunchy skin, yes, but it was too salty. The location in Luther, which is closed, also tasted the same. Some chicken pieces were not juicy, especially the breasts. Comparing Chicken Shack with Eischen's Bar is like comparing apples to oranges. It is a great looking restaurant/bar though. read more

Stopped in at Chicken Shack again after hyping it up to the crew based on a killer visit last fall. Last time, the chicken was fire, the vibe was perfect, and it felt like one of those hidden gems you want to gatekeep a little. Not this round. Chicken came out looking rough--super dark, heavy burnt taste like the oil hadn't been changed in a minute. Cornbread was dry enough to qualify as a choking hazard. Definitely not what I remembered. BUT--the pork chop? Absolute redemption. And the bartender crushed it. Service was on point, which saved the whole thing from being a total bust. Still love the spot's quirky, dive-y charm. It's the kind of place made for a cold beer and live music. I'll be back eventually, hoping it was just an off night. read more

They have excellent chicken strips with gravy sauce, and their Mac-and-cheese is also stellar. A somewhat historic institution just off of the Historic Route 66 in Arcadia, OK, they have sit-down service and also take-out. I opted for the take out, and got their chicken strips meal (nice service) but had to wait for 15-20 minutes, which I spent checking out the nearby historic locales. There was a man selling peanut brittle who only took cash - which I didn't have one me- so I will bring physical currency next time to buy and sample his wares. There is also a related/associated "Pizza Shack" next door. Definitely recommended! read more

Huge Disappointment !!! The service was friendly but very slow. The food was poor quality and over fried. The bartender told us the ownership just doesn't care about quality or customer service any longer. So my one word review is....SUCKS ! read more

Great service. Fried chicken was good and the okra was fantastic. Nice outdoor seating . Fun experience overall

Awful food, awful service, way overpriced for hear and serve fried food. Never again.

i had never been here before and my family really likes it, so naturally i was quite excited! the vibe of the space is cool, it fits in with the rest of the town. very classic, a bit dark but i get it. our large party was seated with plenty of space, so that was nice. our server was polite and took our orders quickly, no problem in that regard. i'll try to keep this short: while our server was working hard to keep up with our large party, the system she was following, or lack thereof, failed her. no seat numbers and seemingly zero system for the food runners made her job so difficult, i felt terrible for her. my order came out wrong the first time and the runners forgot my side the second time. i had to ask for it multiple times. again, i don't think it's their fault, it's their system. this is a manager/owner issue. i got the spicy chicken sandwich and my wife got some tenders and sides. she really enjoyed hers! mine felt very uninspired and dry. granted, i know this place isn't known for its chicken sandwich but it felt like there was no effort to make it presentable. chicken was cooked well and had good flavor but a lack of sauce/toppings made it uninteresting and definitely not worth the price. would come back if my family was going, but wouldn't on my own. $0.95 for sauces is kinda wild too. place has lots of potential but if the service issue isn't fixed it will cause major issues. read more

The name is perfect for the vibe of this place! Exactly what you would expect. They are known for their chicken but my personal favorite is the pork chops. Always juicy and perfect. read more

This is a huge venu with an awesome outdoor seating area. That gives it the 3 stars. The food is definitely 2 stars at the most. It took over 30 minutes for us to get our food after ordering and the sides were so sad. The chicken was okay, kinda dry with no flavor. The oakra was the best part. Mac and cheese was okay, very small portion along with the green beans. I would perhaps return to just have the awesome outside area for my son to play in while eating. We were sad the dessert cart wasn't open on a Friday night read more

Chicken Shack - Whole chicken plus oakra plus green beans and mac n cheese - Chicken Wings Near Me - Arcadia, Oklahoma

Food was bland and flavorless. My son went to the bathroom and said it was a mess and disgusting. Definitely not cleaned. Condiments were not filled. We had to find ketchup bottles at two different tables because the they were empty. Service was a bit slow for there being hardly anyone here. I don't understand why there are so many good reviews of this place. The only thing remotely nice is the decor. I wanted to give this place a good review, but I just can't. Probably won't be back. read more

PSA!!! ***This is not the place to come if you are STARVING or in a HURRY. *** we sat outside to wait on our other guests, my sister lives 5 minutes away and raves about this place. we came around 6:30 pm and walked straight to the back outside near the band. I did not pay attention to the inside much, but the outside was pretty impressive. several fire pits, they sell smore kits! Several restrooms on site. I believe there is a bar outside if you dont want to wait on a server. Our server was pretty swamped and it was a little irritating that our regular drinks ran out. But it was a weekend. the band started late. which is fine. This place is great if you're meeting up with friends and just want to hang out with some good music, drink some drinks and eat some chicken. i got some wings and mashed potatoes. daughter got gizzards and okra. they were out of mac n cheese. it took a long time for the food to come to make sure you have drunks to occupy you. the hot sauce that i was given for my wings was cold- weird. the table next to us had about 6 adults, a dog and a couple kids. I felt sorry for the dog, one of the kids kept feeding the dog rocks. sitting on the dog. pulling on the dog and the poor thing just took it. ugh there were lots of children running around and parents oblivious of it. although that is not a reflection on the restaurant itself, just be aware of what you may encounter. read more

I visited for all-you-can-eat catfish on 11/28. It wasn't busy, but our waitress wasn't attentive. The other waitstaff was bouncing back and forth, and ours seemed to have gone MIA. I had to wave her down after 30 minutes to refill drinks and get more catfish. The food is average and overpriced, and the service sucks. I won't be back. read more

It used to be such a good place and we used to go at least 2 times a month. So it saddens me to leave this review. Our last visit was marginal and we were hoping they were just having an off night. Went again last night to celebrate our granddaughters birthday. Service was non-existent. It wasn't busy and they acted as if it was a pain to do anything for us. The chicken pieces were tiny, and the sides were terrible. The Mac & cheese was like glue. We'll never go back. In the future we'll make the long drive to Eischen's when we want fried chicken in a kid friendly environment. read more

Chicken Shack - Chicken wings - Chicken Wings Near Me - Arcadia, Oklahoma

A visit to my old stomping grounds led to the discovery of a new restaurant in what was in my youth a sleepy small town. The Chicken shack opened last July and offers an appropriate amount of nostalgia for the venue. Promising good yard bird we decided to change our dining plans and stop in. I ordered the 1/2 bird and side. My wife ventured to try the wings. What arrived at our table was not pretty to look at but then I didn't expect it to be Michelin star worthy. The chicken was well and properly cooked with a crispy and tasty skin. The chicken meat itself was good except the white meat was a little dry but I don't prefer white meat chicken. The dark meat was fine. The onion rings were nothing to write about but the potato wedges were delicious. The strawberry cake was nice and moist. All in all the food was adequate but not fantastic. It was good and homey though and worth eating. If you come to Arcadia hungry I suggest that you get your soda down the road but eat the chicken at the chicken shack. read more

The 30 chicken wings for 20 dollars is a great deal and the are very good.the service is always great and pretty fast. The restaurant is nice and decorated appropriately. We go there often because of the price and location. read more

This place has a nice, down to earth vibe. If you are looking for a bar and live music they have a great area that accommodates several people. They have the entire area decorated with Christmas right now which my husband said reminded him of a hallmark movie. We were served quickly and checked on often. The food was great, my favorite was the mashed potatoes Andy husband enjoyed the okra. We will be back. read more

This was my first time here I am traveling for a few months in Oklahoma. In general people are very friendly in Oklahoma and very service-oriented. Then they have an upstairs area for people to eat and then there's a big outdoor area with a fire pit and a lot of benches kind of giving a park like feel or Campground feel. It's very trendy in a country kind of way. I ordered three chicken tenders with one side and the only one that was pretty much non-fried was their green beans. They were good and the chicken tenders were excellent. The ambiance is fun and comfortable and there are a lot of places to take pictures. I think they should Step Up the way the music is done because it feels kind of random. It feels more like an open mic than it does entertainment. Nothing wrong with the people that were doing it it's just that it didn't have structure. My one complaint about this is that I came with a group of women probably about 35 women and we were downstairs near the stage and the server I felt like she saw the opportunity to make sure she got the tips from this check because we were sitting downstairs and she could have put a couple tables together but she told us that in order to keep her as a waitress we had to go upstairs. That really annoyed me. From then on the service was not so great because they did try hard to get us our drinks and our food they had a lot of Runners doing the food but I don't feel like it was that Timely and it was hot up there and dark. And the waitress really didn't give us great service and to top it off her shift was up and she was trying to get people to pay individual bills before she went home and we had not finished eating yet. This is not the kind of server that I want to have helping me because it felt more about her than it did about us. It seemed kind of selfish that she moved us for her own convenience. I don't think everybody else is that way there necessarily they seem pretty friendly but this was kind of irritating for the first experience. They added an 18% tip because we were a large party but we paid individually. The paying individually is a plus because it always gets messy with a lot of people ordering she asked each one of us what we ordered and made us individual bills. I don't necessarily usually eat fried stuff anymore but the actual chicken tenders were nice and big and very meaty and delicious and the green beans were good so if I had to go back there that's probably what I would get ... they have a lot of different sides like okra and french fries and waffle fries and a lot of good sauces for the chicken. In general I imagine it's a fun place to go I'm just sorry that my first experience there was not great as far as service went. All the people helping our original waitress did their best to get water to the table and our drinks. The original waitress seemed more focused on getting the more expensive drinks up first like alcoholic so it took a while to get my iced tea and I said to her unsweetened and she brought me sweetened so I had to wait even more and I was pretty thirsty. I will give this place another chance either there or another location read more

This place is really disappointing. We had my Sister in laws Memorial here and there were so many things that failed: 1) moved the group at the last minute, we reserved an area that was bumped. 2) tried to overcharge for servings, they brought food that wasn't requested. 3) hotter than hell, we asked for a lower temp, they can't do it. 4) Bartenders are awesome, kudos to those dudes. 5) would not share a microphone to allow a few minutes of speeches. 6) coordinator was difficult, very inflexible and not fun to deal with. Our family selected this place because my sister in law liked it. Will not go there again!!! read more

We went once a long time ago & gave it another try. What a mistake. The memories of the first visit came right back. Expensive and definitely NOT worth it. Had to ASK for water. The food came out after awhile (and several loud barks from a dog in the HUGE section of the restaurant). Food? Hardly any for what we paid for. Did we get refills on out water? No. Did we hear the large dog BARK several times? Yes. Had to ask for a box to bring the leftovers which we didn't eat anyway. Ugh the first time. Our second try? Paid for it again and will NOT be back. read more

Ok. It's a long ways from where I live, but dang oh, their chicken is worth the drive. Big healthy pieces of chicken that are fried to perfection and expertly seasoned is what you get.

Met a large group on a week day night and couldn't get service outside so I ordered at the bar. Very nice young lady took order and brought food to us outside. The okra and cornbread side was delicious and cooked to order. The chicken was just okay. The breading on thighs and breast had fallen off or not breaded correctly. read more

Worst service ever from Shay. She acted annoyed that we were even there, not pleasant at all. We ordered a tequila sunrise & one of the daily specials. Out of daily specials & didn't know how to make a tequila sunrise. Out of all sides except for coleslaw & French fries (which were served cold). my order came out & my wife's came later. Shay never came back to the table except to give us the bill, then was irritated because she had to go print the receipt. We've eaten there several times in the past with good food & service, so don't know if the place is going to the dumps or it was just the server & cook on that night. read more

This week my office held our Christmas party and we decided it was the perfect opportunity to try The Chicken Shack. We arrived early with gifts in hand, and ready for some delicious food, fun fellowship, and a good time. The expectation was somehow exceeded, as our group of 13 had plenty of room to spread out. The wait staff was very attentive and explained the special so well that I couldn't resist. I ordered the loaded baked potato with tri-tips and it was probably the best potato I've ever had. Seriously...it was amazing...and so large I took half of it with me for later. I can't wait to come back and bring my family. 5 stars from me! read more
