The fried chicken is delicious The red beans are good The fish strips And the fried buffet of southern staples is so yummy and why I can't ever live on this state I visit once every two years or so! The sweet potato pie was also tasty as heck - help or I'll go back when on vacation! read more

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. read more

Chicken Shack is our favorite fried chicken in Baton Rouge. Though there are places to sit to eat, we usually get ours and bring it home. The chicken is prepared in a way that allows the outside of the chicken to be very crunchy. People flock to chicken shack- try it for yourself... if you love yummy, flavorful fried chicken, give this a try. You'll need napkins! They have many side dishes like yams, fries, southern style cooked greens, red beans, rice and more. Rolls come with your order. We get the 12 or 16 piece. We enjoy it as a lunch the next day. This is soul food at its best. Try it! read more

I ordered the pork chop sandwich, it was fresh and delicious. The bread was perfect as well as the lettuce and tomatoes.

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. read more

Great food at Great prices. Only complaint was the wait time. There was a long line. But the food is definitely worth waiting for.

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. read more

Really good fun, welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend . Chicken , sides and desserts were on point

Meatloaf and rice and gravy is phenomenal. I've had the sausage Poboy and it was really good too. This is real soul food.

Chicken shack is really yummy. They have a very wide variety of sides and different southern flavors. That's just perfect. The chicken is really yummy and cooked to perfection and very crunchy. There's always a long wait time though that's the only downside I can say about this place but other than that, I rate them a six out of 10. read more

Super crispy and juicy chicken! Coleslaw and mustard greens excellent. Friendly staff. I tried to get info about the marinade to no avail ;)

Frankly everything. The "Shack" extremely clean and safe. The staff friendly and professional. The service was quick. The food was hot fresh and delicious. I'm from Los Angeles and the chicken cornbread greens fries beans and rice macaroni and cheese hit the spot. We eat went home (there) and went right to sleep. read more

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. read more

Chicken Shack - 3 Piece Mixed Fried Chicken, Rice Dressing, and Mustard Greens - Fast Food Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

This place is the bomb dot com. The chicken has a little spice, some seasoning and a whole bunch of crispy. It was so good I came back a day later. The rolls are the boring dinner rolls like from an old time restaurant. Which it is. But they aren't good. I was talking with a man and he said the Mac & cheese is old school and not all that. But he said the red beans & rice are amazing. I'm sure I'll be back and try it all. This restaurant has been around longer than I've been alive. A true hidden gem. read more

Wow! There's plenty of parking in the lot, but even at 3pm, this place is pretty full. We get in line and ordered some chicken and fries. The batter is light and crispy - like what you would find on fish and chips, and it's got SO much flavour. The chicken is juicy, super juicy. The fries are deep fried in the same oil, so they're full of flavour and don't really need anything else. Highly recommended! read more

The picture speaks for itself. Two piece mixed - breast and thigh. Crispy, moist, flavorful. Best chicken I've EVER had. The sides are mouth watering. That proud to bring to the cookout, fav Auntie potato salad. Lima beans so good, glad my momma wasn't around ! Born and raised in Baton Rouge living in Houston for the past 10 years.

Chicken Shack - Breast and thigh. Greans and lima beans. - Fast Food Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Worth every possible clogging of arteries it may cause be eating this. It's the closest thing to Willie Maes in the Baton Rouge area. The batter is different like a wet batter and crispy. The chicken pieces are big and juicy. Tuesday's they run a special on the two piece dark. I hardly come near the area so I always get the 3 piece dinner with two sides. The red beans are really good and mac and cheese is ok. Staff is friendly and they get you in and out. If you never had chicken shack you better get your boots on and come get some. read more

I ordered the Large Fish dinner and a chicken breast. This didn't disappoint the food was amazing! The Fish and the Chicken had a good amount of crispness and the rice was really good. The Rolls are amazing! read more

You could tell immediately these guys have fried a few chickens. Crispy, juicy, flavorful and that magic word everybody loves... Moist. The fried chicken was fantastic. The people were friendly. We had a great dinner. I cannot wait to come back to chicken shack. read more

This place looked abandoned but with people working there. The chicken had 0 flavor and was so oily it was crazy. An old oil taste to it. Fries had NO SALT I HAD TO SEASON IT. The guy that worked there was cool but he kinda had to keep the morale up or else he would end it all kinda deal. They dint have mac and cheese or cornbread. How you dont have both? It was the worst part of my day. Sometimes the worse the place looks the better the food is. Not this place tho. You feel like you about to get shot at all tines, and if you taste the food. Might as well choose that because at least you go to heaven and your not here eating dookie chicken. Be a good human and eat at a chain restaurant. While your here. And if you live here? Im sorry. read more

My favorite day of the week is Tuesday because of the Popeyes two piece special. I almost always will order fried chicken if I see it on a menu. And almost always, it's hard to find a place that can do fried chicken better than Popeyes. I moved to Baton Rouge literally yesterday and trying Chicken Shack has turned my fried chicken world upside down Chicken Shack actually has a two piece special as well!! I got one of these along with red beans and rice, mustard greens, and a sweet potato pie The chicken was hot juicy and flavorful and had this unique crust that comes from what looks like a wet batter. Whatever it is it's delicious and I wanted more of it for sure The red beans and rice was decently flavorful but I didn't think was very special. The mustard greens were porky and savory, will get again. The sweet potato pie I thought was gonna be overrated, but one bite in and I was in heaven. This thing tasted like candied yams which I don't usually like but was amazing here read more

If you want Baton Rouge style soul food of southern chicken, this is a place to try. This chicken is deep fried to crispy. There was a line during the lunch time when we arrived. The board shows daily special, I saw the picture some others Yelpers post including oxtail. But our visit did not have it. There are many patron from nearby community college employees visited here. I have two pieces chicken with Cajun rice and collar green. The chicken was fried with the skin separated from the meat and crispy. I also like the chicken with good flavor. The side is not my favorite. The rice can be better. The green definite can improve. The other order is the shrimp popboys. Shrimp was coated and fried. A lot of shrimp but the size is small. For the food I like the chicken. Not sure the rest of side will make up for it. This is about 3.5 stars restaurant. No half star in Yelp. 4 is given. read more
