Always a great time at the Chicken Shack! Great food, service and entertainment. We Love it!

Burned unseasoned, completely flavorless dry ass chicken
Eddie Z.

Quite possibly the worst food and worst service I have received this year! My chicken was burnt to a crisp and in edible. I said something about it and they said we cook it on a timer. The other entrée was undercooked. They ask if I wanted white or brown gravy and brought me chicken gravy with my mashed potatoes and then said oh we don't have brown gravy anymore. I had to get up to get the missing items that I ordered because we saw our waiter a total of two times the hour and a half we were there waiting on our food and trying to get through and choke some of the food down because we were just hungry. The restaurant itself is filthy. the bathroom looks like a truck stop with toilet paper all over the floor holes in the walls and doors that won't shut. There is no toilet paper or hand towels in the bathroom. I guess we have to shake or drip dry. The table was so sticky. We asked the waiter to bring a wet towel over to wipe it off and that didn't help at all usually a wet towel means you have to put water on it. If I could give less than a one star review, I would. Don't waste your time or your money. It is way too expensive for the shit food that you get drive up to the next town.

Big chonkin cheese sticks

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!!!

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.

Broasted chicken with jalapeño  cornbread...aka plain cornbread.
Susan S.

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.

Chicken was bland! No flavor! Won't be going back. Eichen's in Okarche is better and it's not very good either.

The chicken was very good, moist, juicy, with a good crispy skin. The okra was right on, service couldn't be better.

Amazing food and service! I can't believe you are closed now. Highlighted on Food Network and…read moredefinitely was a frequent patron. I would love if you changed locations. You will be missed!

After a tough start to the week, I had a craving for good food and good company. A lovely friend…read moreand I finally squeezed in a day/time together and just so happened to discover this decent eatery! It was Wednesday, May 7th. I arrived around 6:20pm and though the host sat me, I decided to take a stroll around the "neighborhood" since my date hadn't arrived yet. It was a lovely day, probably around 74º, shady skies with just enough sun. I walked around their back-side patio which was fully equipped with artificial turf, jumbo Jenga, plenty of seating picnic tables and had a huge projector screen for any prime-time game. There were also other eateries (outside bar, ice-cream station, and other restaurants) that accessed the same area. It was very inviting! I continued the walk and wrapped around the block to notice that the row of restaurants/bars were all home-themed. It was very college-like. I landed back in my seat and about 5mins later my friend arrived. We sat at the first two-top high-table near the bar close to the entrance. There were about 2 servers, a host and 2 bartenders to accompany the small crowd. We had a young man as a server and her treated us well. Neither of us had eaten there before so he provided us with a few recommendations but ultimately said, "ya can't go wrong." And he was right! We ordered the Crispy Chicken Sliders, Salt & Pepper Fries, Mango Thai Chili and the BBQ Honey Red Curry, both boneless (her suggestion). We chatted for what only seemed like a few minutes before our food arrived. Not going to lie, the appearance of the food wasn't mind-blowingly irresistible but it's not the looks that matters most. Normally I stay away from boneless wings because you don't know how thick the breading will be and the breading-to-sauce ratio is often never quite balanced but I was incredibly impressed at how juicy and proportionate the wings were! They each were a mouthful and tasted wonderfully. Even though they were both great, I think the Mango Chili may have won over the BBQ Curry. The sliders were about what you'd expect, a solid entrée but the bread was the best feature. The fries were as expected as well, very Buffalo Wild Wing -esque (with ranch). Overall, I spent $40 for two and still left with food in-hand, WELL worth it. We stuck around to watch the ending of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals (Celtics vs Knicks) but really I was too stuffed to do much else. The backside patio is a vibe. It has covered seating, plenty of space and is very pet & child friendly. Establishments like this prove that you don't have to spend much to eat good and have a good time.

The food was really good. The service was amazing but we were the only ones there so I'm not sure…read morehow it is if they are packed. This place is in an industrial areas and we went in a Saturday. It was super clean. The tables were organized well. Based on the inside environment I would imagine it's loud if it's packed. I ordered the large wings combo. You can get two seasonings. I got mango habanero and lemon oepper. The wings were cooked perfectly. The fries were amazing. The o lot reason for four stars instead of five is for two reasons. First it smelled a bit like cigarette smoke when we came in. I used to smoke cigarettes so I know the smell. Second. Drinks are cans and bottles only. Despite these things I'll be back bathe food was really good. Prices were a little high but I expect that slightly from small businesses.

The tenders was over cooked and seemed old. My food was ready when we went to pick up so no long wait. Place was clean inside but I doubt I will be back. Drove 45 minutes to try the food and was extremely disappointed. Onions rings and fries was the best thing. I spent 80$ for dinner for my family and it was inedible.
