I love this place! The chicken has a tempura type of texture! I get it every time I am in town!

I was in town visiting and had to get my fix. My sister said the food taste better at this location. Well one thing I can say is Chantel was an amazing cashier. She made suggestions was friendly and professional. Her pleasant attitude made for an excellent experience. Customer service at its finest. Got food to go Can hardly wait to sit down and. Oh my goodness so delicious. I bought the red beans cornbread mustard greens fried chicken wings. And a shrimp poboy. And no I didn't eat it all. YET read more

Chicken Shack - 6 Piece Chicken Tenders - Chicken Wings Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

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. read more

Chicken Shack - My friend making a complicated order - Chicken Wings Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

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. read more

Chicken Shack - Breast and leg - Chicken Wings Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Chicken Shack is one of those places that you need to be in a mood for. It's heavy, delicious ,soul nourishing food but it's not something that should be eaten casually. The value is unbeatable for the price, and the chicken itself is outstanding. juicy, moist, the crust on the chicken is so full of good chicken flavor its almost like chicken cracklin. It's the only place in town that has real home cooked soul food like Stewed Hen, Okra and Crowder Peas and stuff like that. Everything here tastes like something somebody's grandmama made for dinner. Now, it's not perfect, no. The chicken is a bit salty and the spicy dishes don't hold back ,which isn't a negative for me, but if you're not ready it could be a bad thing for you. Be warned It's real. The consistency isnt perfect either. Sometimes, particularly during downtime or in the middle of the day or way late at night after the dinner rush the Chicken can be a little over cooked. Which is fine for the larger dark meat pieces, but not so great for the white meat, so I wouldnt order the mixed or white meat anytime outside of when they're super busy, also the dark meat just tastes so much better anyway and you get more of it by far. They also include free rolls in every meal. Their coleslaw isnt great either, Im sure it's good to someone but I just am not a fan of it, Their potato salad on the other hand is delicious. Their greens are fresh and their vegetable dishes are always worth getting. I could write a book on their deserts In terms of cleanliness, it's one of the cleanest "Hole in the wall" kind of resturaunts I've ever seen, the Decor is dated, but has that classic charm that lacks any pretention. On the wall are it's accolades and some information about it's founder. The guy is so well known here that there's streets named after him. The service has never not been friendly, and so are the patrons. People from all over baton rouge congregate here and I always feel welcome. Nobody comes to chicken shack in a bad mood and stays that way. Over-all, While it's not perfect, it's damn near. 4/5 stars easily. read more

Excellent fried chicken restaurant, I've ate here all my life, since a kid. Parent's use to bring us here growing up. Had an opportunity this pass week to enjoy a two piece meal. Chicken and sides were all fresh and good. read more

Their catered meals are excellent. Baked chicken, mustard greens, yams. Order was prepared on time and well seasoned.

Went to stop in this spot with my girlfriend the other weekend for lunch and I cannot y'all it up enough. I got the catfish combo with rice dressing boudin balls and a potato pie. the catfish was made to order and was crispy and seasoned great (highly recommend) the boudin balls were also super good and portioned pretty well. I got a side of rice dressing and honestly I could have ate 4 or five of them it was so tasty. The potato pie wasn't super sweet which I like and a nice little treat to end my meal. There's no indoor seating to dine in as of now, but I gladly ordered to go and ate it outside in my vehicle.(no shame in admitting I wasn't waiting to get anywhere to chow down) read more

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

Chicken Shack - Chicken Wings Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

My husband frequents this place for fried catfish whenever he is working in Baton Rouge. After hearing him rave about it, I gave in and decided to try it out. It is counter service with some not so friendly ladies working the counter. However, the place is clean. I mean windows, tables, trash area, restroom...all clean. Our food arrived boxed up for take out, but they have tables for you to use if you choose to eat it there. My chicken wings were greasy and seasoned, but too salty for my preference. The fried catfish really is good, but again too salty for me. They give you so much food on the $10 catfish plate. We could have split it, but I thought I would try the chicken since it is the Chicken Shack...duh! Anyway, I had the red beans and rice as suggested side from the counter clerk, but it was not good. I also ordered the sweet potatoes and they were pretty good, due to being smothered in brown sugar. read more

Had the pork chop plate with red beans and rice, delicious and the chop was cooked to order

I would be wrong to call chicken shack a restaurant, it's more like a good neighbors house. I grew up in the same area so Ive had the pleasure of dining there often. My father loves the chicken so much that the friendly staff knows his order by heart. My late brother ( R.I.P) would buy several of the mini sweet potato pies just so he'd have one at all times. Such a soulful taste, one could truly call it "comfort food." read more

I wish there was a place for us to give them an x not a star. They don't deserve that. We are actually from here but haven't been there in years. We decided to try it last night. All I can say is PEPPER! The food was full of pepper. My husband could barely eat it. Then she told me pickles and butter cane on the shrimp poboy. Well let's just say it must have been the entire stick on both sides of the bread! Then there was way too much hot sauce on it. When I took about 3 bites my stomach started burning. I didn't eat half the sandwich before having to stop! I will NEVER go there again. They receive a complete ZERO! read more

My girlfriend and her daughter dined here on their way to New Orleans for New Year's. She was very impressed with the quality of the food and the politeness of staff. She describes the chicken as perfectly prepared and with a very generous portion. The chicken was not spicy at all! We're not sure what the negative review is describing, but perhaps there is a spicy version. This meal was one of the highlights of her visit! We wish we had such a high-quality southern fried chicken restaurant in Seattle. read more

Went here for lunch one day because the food is great and cheap. I will never return after seeing one of the cooks pick up a piece of chopped yam and return it to the bucket of other chopped yams. After notifying the manager his response was "What do you want me to do? Whoop her?" Joke or not, you should not sell food off the floor. Wish I had a video for proof. read more

Went to the newly opened Thibodaux location after of course the big crowd wound down... finally managed to squeeze myself in for an order and I ordered the eight piece family meal and I must say it was a notch up from Popeyes! Very crispy very tender and moist! It was definitely pretty good! My mom got the shrimp basket I tried a piece of her shrimp and it was just as good... i'll be going back for a lunch special when I run into it and Dine inside and try something else uniquely great I'm always up for new taste challenges. read more

Their service is inconsistent and their prices are too expensive. They sell their old, hard, dry chicken with most of the crust missing. There are times when they sell wings that are hard so that one can barely bite down into them. They take way too long to prepare your order. This is the typical experience at all locations. read more
