Big chonkin cheese sticks
Melody H.

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!!!

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

The wonderful family Gomez brought us so amazing catfish!! It was DELICIOUS!!

Family Gomez brought us some delicious catfish!! I will be driving to the restaurant to have more!!!
