    What happened to the Shack Balls.they shrunk

    I be eating here for the last 20 years I heard one of the owners retired.so maybe that explains why the service and food has gone downhill .

    From out of town and this place was recommended. Best chicken and service!! Lovely place and will definitely be back.

    There are many ways to get into harm's way on and near Plank Road and this place is no different. Eating here regularly may result in a heart attack. The part of town isn't the greatest so going during the day is recommended if you want to avoid the druggies and prostitutes. The service isn't that great and can be spotty depending on the mood of the employees. But if you're like me, you'll brave just about anything for good food. When it comes to fried chicken... this place may be the best in town. I don't know if they season the oil or what but the chicken is soooo good. The sides are prime and made like someone's old southern grandma made them. Gotta try this place at least once.

    Best fried chicken in the United States. Don't be fooled by the location or service. This place is easily one of the best values places to eat at. I had the $4.99 TD special at it was so good and filled me up. Everything is delicious and cheap.

    Real deal down home soul food. Hard to beat their fried chicken. Good rice dressing and potato salad. Check it out.

    The 4 star rating is accurate- I am a fan. I will now have to run forever. So I got the 2 piece special with potato salad and rice dressing, and shack balls for good measure. Here's how it shook out. Service- the staff was super friendly- went around lunch time- so little busy and we had to wait a min but all in all- polite and prompt- what more can you ask for. Good: CHICKEN! oh wow. ok- so it's fried chicken and I did pat it down w a napkin before eating. But is not so bad that it turns the bag to liquid immediately. The potato salad was mustard potato salad which I really liked. The bread- soft little roll and the shack ball- see boudin ball- also pretty on point. The less good: the rice dressing is greasy. (I know I know- even next to FRIED chicken its too greasy- so I think you can take that to the bank) The Hood. I don't consider this a negative but the peeps teased me endlessly- "you know it's in the hood, right?" "who's going to take you- you can't go alone" well, I didn't go alone- but I totally could have. Everybody was super nice and the food was better seasoned and less greasy than popeye's or other fast fried food. The slogan: "Knuckle suckin' good" I don't know what that means. I did not do that. I do not do that. Maybe that part was just not meant for me. Bottom line: life is about choices- choose chicken shack at least once.

    This is my favorite restaurant in Baton Rouge for lunch. The chicken is unbelievable! Home cooking daily.

    I enjoy the smothered turkey wings and the candied yams! The fried mushrooms are good as well.

    Very interested to see how this place works when it's busy. But more on that later…read more Like half of the folks who have reviewed I had sweet heat and lemon pepper wings and fries. Fries were salted with some Cajun spice mix. They could have gone lighter but the fries weren't greasy so no points off from me. The wings were good. Just the right size so you don't have to worry how pumped up on steroids the chickens were before they gave their life for our consumption. Skin was crispy. The spices/sauces were delicious especially the sweet heat, such a nice sneaky little heat. So back to my initial thought it did take some time for the food to come although there were on three other tables. Not a full down of the game but some time. Also they could have been slammed with mobile orders. Who knows? Food was fresh and hot so I am willing to go again but I feel like if I walked in and it was busy and I was hungry I would walk out.

    I was really craving wings so my husband & I decided to go to KOK wings. We anticipated a packed…read morehouse due to it being a Saturday night but it was a complete ghost town. That didn't bother me though because that meant our food came out faster and not a loud atmosphere. We both got lemon pepper & sweet heat wings with loaded fries. It gave everything I needed them to! Def the wing fix I needed. We also had a cocktail/ cant beat $6 cocktails regular price! I had a BNasty (rum, mango, pineapple & grenadine) it was GOOD & gave me the little buzz I was looking for.

    Best Wings in Baton Rouge. Top of the class…read more Great Service. Nice ambiance. Just the Best wings in Baton Rouge, NO question.

    On our mini BR trip my friend and I were searching for a place to eat and Valley Wings was a place…read moreclose by that popped up on Yelp. They did not disappoint at all. The service was great (S/o to Macy and the man at the front counter who I'm assuming is the owner).When I asked for more information on certain flavors and how good they were, the server was extremely honest especially when it came to the valley bread. The owner also gave us free samples of the valley bread (first picture below) which is a fresh garlic and Parmesan bread. The vibes were definitely there. Back to the Future and Jurassic Park were playing on the tv, and the writing on the walls gave a unique touch. It kept us entertained by reading different names and sayings. NOW TO THE FOOD!! The pink lemonade was good. It wasn't overly sweet which I love. The kool-aid (not pictured),on the other hand, could have used more sugar personally. There was also blue raspberry lemonade which we didn't try. I appreciated that these drinks were additional options besides the traditional coke products that they do have. The death valley meal was a 12 wing combo w/ fries and a drink. My friend decided on garlic parmesan and the valley sauce as her two flavors. The valley sauce was a light, sticky bbq sauce. It was amazing compared to traditional bbq sauced wings. The sauce wasn't over powering like traditional bbq sauce making the eating experience way better. Now that garlic parmesan?!!! Nothing like wingstop for sure. It's hard to explain but it taste exactly like garlic and parmesan. It doesn't taste fake like other garlic parmesan flavors. One thing I really appreciate about this business is their use of fresh garlic because it's not hard to miss. It adds an extra spark to their dishes. My 10 piece combo with half lemon pepper and honey hot was equally amazing. That flavor was unexplainable!! Usually when I get honey hot (or hot honey) it's always too sweet with no kick. Valley Wings honey hot was a perfect mix of both. The "kick" really got my friend, but for a regular spice consumer this would be great for you. The lemon pepper in my option lacked. I don't know if they didn't put enough season on it or my taste buds were off from the other previous flavors, but I barely tasted any lemon pepper. It was still good chicken but the flavor wasn't present. The regular and Cajun fries had a nice crunch to them but nothing special. They do offer a lot of loaded fry options that looked and sound amazing like chicken Alfredo, Cajun shrimp Alfredo, etc. Definitely another BR go-to restaurants on my list. Pink lemonade: 8/10 Garlic Parmesan: 9.5/10 Valley sauce: 8.5/10 Lemon pepper: 5/10 Honey hot: 9/10 Cajun fries: 5/10
