    3 Piece Mixed Fried Chicken
    Shannon S.

    I was in the area and looking for some lunch. I grab my phone to search Yelp and this place piqued my interest. I'm glad I stopped by. My food was absolutely delicious! I ordered a three piece chicken with potato salad. The chicken was very flavorful, it was crispy and both the breading and the chicken itself were seasoned. It seems like it is battered with a wet batter, but that's just my assumption. The potato salad was perfect, the potatoes were cooked just right, so many restaurants undercook the potatoes. It was very flavorful. I stopped by on a Saturday afternoon and it was very busy, it seems like the food is cooked as you order so keep that in mjnd. I waited for my meal but it was worth it to me. There is seating inside if you want to eat in the restaurant.

    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.

    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 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!!

    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.

    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.

It's definitely homestyle, and super fresh. It's freshly made to order, and your order will come out quickly. As the name would suggest, they have seafood, both fried and grilled. It can come on bread or without bread. All are good choices. It's piping hot and delicious, and can come with a variety of sides, fries, onion rings, even sweet potato fries. These are all tasty and freshly made. Usually one can get a combo with one's sandwich, which includes fries and a drink. This is nicely priced. However, in addition to the seafood, they make a really good burger. Again, the freshness and simplicity make it special. It's also a great value! Then there are the salads and plates.

We will never be going back. Ambiance: The real estate of this establishment is wasted on this restaurant. Beautiful downtown location with a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that look out at pretty foliage and the I-10 bridge. The interior? Dirty, cracking, grease splattered walls with dusty canvas paintings. Service: our waiter was very kind and attentive and should be working in a nicer establishment. The hostess was abrupt and lacked personality. Food: The Food at Capital City Grill has always been inconsistent at best erring on 'not great' but in an endearing way. Like leaning in to watching a terrible movie. You know it's a bad film, but you appreciate it because it's bad, which makes it almost good. Always felt this way about Capital City Grill until today. What we just had turned us off completely from ever returning.
