Chicken Shack has the best fried chicken and turkey wing plates ever! Awesome service and a family ambiance. They sale fried chicken everyday, and Turkey wing plates on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Chicken Shack also sells other lunch plate choices throughout the week Monday-Friday from 11:00 AM until 2:00 PM or until sold out. I used to visit them every Tuesday and Thursday when I worked less than 5 minutes from the Acadian location.

I had the pleasure of eating at Chicken Shack during my summer road trip through Louisiana and Mississippi last year. The fried chicken was some of the best I've ever had, and the sweet potato pie was also top tier. Service was solid, and it's a no frills Southern-style cafe. The place was absolutely buzzing with activity during my visit as customers constantly streamed in and out to place and pick up their to go orders. This restaurant is a national treasure! I'll have to find an excuse to return to Baton Rouge again sometime soon.

2 piece dark with Macaroni & Cheese, Candied Yams and a roll - $15

I heard about this place on TikTok.... This was a TikTok fail...lol. It's over rated & definitely over priced to be in the hood. This is my $15 meal!!

A great place for late night eats in baton rouge. The service here was fast and friendly. Very happy that i stopped by to support a local business and find a spot the locals enjoy. The chicken here was super crispy and juicy. Not everyday as a out of state person to see a pork chop sandwich but that too was soo damn good, not dry, nice and cispy and juicy. Definitely stop and check this place out!

I really enjoyed my meal here. The inside was very clean. The chicken was hot, fresh and crispy. The shrimp were delicious as well. The sides all needed a little salt but other than that were great. And the sweet potato pie was so good! I would come back for sure.

Meatloaf, dirty rice, yams, Red Beans And Rice

We wanted to make sure we hit a hole in the wall chicken spot before we left and the chicken shack seemed like the perfect place. Super friendly staff, everyone enjoyed their food and the prices were very affordable. Aside from the regular items be sure to check the board, they seem to add things depending on the day. This time I was able to get the meatloaf, I'm not sure if that's a regular item or not. Very good nonetheless. The cornbread was just Ok and the peach cobbler wasn't the best, but everything else was well worth it. Make sure to try their lemon pies.

Fried Chicken Sandwich and 2 piece dinner with red beans and rice
Rodney R.

One of our go-to spots when in Baton Rouge. Been here 3 years in a row and it never disappoints! Fresh crispy chicken cooked to perfection with great seasoning & taste. Can't go wrong with the red beans & rice for the side. Give this place a try when in the area if you're looking for some really good fried chicken.

I truly love and support the owner, but I have to be honest--this place just isn't hitting for me…read more I gave it a second try hoping my experience would be better than the first time I visited the Plank Road at Harding location, but unfortunately, it wasn't. I ordered the Thursday special, and overall, the food lacked real flavor. The only seasoning that stood out was black pepper. At this point, I've come to realize that not everyone has the same standard when it comes to good food. The atmosphere had its positives--the building is nice and the space was cool--but the music was so loud that we couldn't comfortably hold a conversation, and the temperature was actually a bit too cold to fully enjoy dining in. The only items I genuinely enjoyed were the fountain drinks and the Hawaiian roll. The rest of the meal fell short. The mashed potatoes were overly saturated with gravy, and while the yams had potential, they needed more sweetness--brown sugar especially. I could taste hints of butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg, but it just didn't come together. Service-wise, the staff was polite but lacked warmth or personality. The interaction felt dry and uninviting. Even with my experience, the restaurant stayed busy, with customers continuing to come in. I really wish the food had matched my expectations, because I wanted to enjoy it--but it just wasn't for me.

When we walked in upbeat music was playing, there as such a high energy about this place and the…read moreworkers. The food was even better. The restrooms were clean!! Both plates for a total on $40 with drinks not featured. Definitely take a sip of that sweet tea, it was gooddddd. I'll be back

Cecelia Creole Bistro…read more 421 N 3rd St Suite B, Baton Rouge, LA 70802 IG: Tonylameats Restaurant Week at Cecilia Creole Bistro did NOT disappoint! Everything was flawless!

We took our mom here for her birthday in early June. The service was okay at this restaurant. There was nothing that stood out in particular about the service, it was pretty average. The food at this restaurant all tasted great. I tried their fried green tomatoes appetizer as well as their golden fried alligator which was delicious. I got the jerk fried chicken with red beans and rice and smoked sausage for my entree and it was good. I was expecting my chicken to be spicy or to at least taste like jerk seasoning but it didn't at all. It was more like a BBQ sauce with no heat at all. The menu was also very lacking to me, we all felt that it was missing items or needed more. I wish there was more of a variety of items to choose from especially for those allergic to shellfish or vegetarian.
