    Inside at the Shack!

    Excellent food and great service. Do not miss this! Mac and chz just like my mom used to make, the chicken strips were on point!

    Driving back from Youngstown to Pittsburgh and stopped here on the way. I've always got a hankering for good fried chicken and this wasn't a disappointment. The chicken was fresh and juicy, hot, and well seasoned. The corn muffin was delicious but a little dry. Wished there was some butter/honey provided. We didn't ask so perhaps they had some and we could have gotten some. The mac and cheese and fries weren't much to speak of, but the BBQ beans were phenomenal! They had a real nice smoky flavor and nice bits of BBQ meats. Price was more than fair and I'd love to come back and support this nice place.

    Really enjoyed the atmosphere and the people working were awesome! For those who may wonder what The Westfalls ordered at Ms Chicken Shack ... Here is what I ordered: 2 Piece Dark Chicken Dinner with "Smokey Robinson" Bbq Beans & "The Love Shack" Macaroni & Cheese. It also came with a cornbread muffin. Stacy had the 8 Piece Chicken Waffle Dinner (chicken bites fried in pancake batter) with "Tina Turner" Mashed Potatoes with "Rolling on The River Gravy" and "Nat King Cole" Slaw. Also came with Cornbread. Both meals were really good. We shared both and enjoyed it all. I'd recommend it if you're looking for some southern fried chicken and some soul food sides. #theadventuresof #theWESTFALLS #approved On a side note, they were out of pecan pie so we ordered a slice of sweet potato pie. #notmything #stillrecommend #mschickenshack though.

    Homemade desserts...

    Seems like a local fav. No questions why! Amazing fried chicken. We asked for an all dark meat family dinner...oh man...freshly cooked...and never been sitting under the hot lamp. Very attentive host. Potato salad and coleslaw both were great...specially the house special potato salad. The walls were covered in blues memorabilia..and the one tv was playing blues music. The decor was very homely and inviting...a job well done. We were passing through town on our way to Chicago and I must say this place could not be beaten by anything short of the Nashville hot fried chicken!!

    Lunch!

    This place was ok. I'd stop in again and give them another try. The food didn't seem cooked to order. I love my chicken crispy and it didn't have as much crunch as I like but the flavor was on point. The sides and cornbread were good. I love the menu items being named after famous people. The decor needs updates it's very outdated. They were friendly but recommended I call ahead next time. I was in the area working and stopped in for lunch so calling in made no sense in my case.

    Chicken & corn bread muffins.

    Absolutely love this place. Delicious chicken. Flavorful crust, not dry. Wonderful sides, desserts & staff. My favorite chicken joint in the tri-state area.

    I stopped in after all of the recommendations from friends and from Yelp. The chicken and muffins were great and a good deal for the price. The rice with Cajun sauce, collard greens, and bbq baked beans were all wonderfully done as well. Great atmosphere inside even though I took my order home. I'll definitely be back soon.

    Oh, Carmi... I live and breathe for your smothered chicken…read moreplatter. It knocks me for a loop when all of those juicy flavors hit my lips. That's an entree I share with the boyfriend because otherwise I'd just go crazy. The cornbread stuffing is one of the best things I've ever had in my life. I love that stuffed chicken so much too. The boyfriend loves your fish stew and shrimp po' boy. I can't wait to get home to Pittsburgh to taste you again. Signed, Your biggest fan

    First off, it wasn't clear to me until I got there that this was takeout only. Yelp has separate…read moreentries for Carmi Soul Food and Carmi Express, and I thought they were separate outlets. That it was takeout only presented a dilemma for me, as I was just visiting the North Side for the day by bus and foot, and had no place to take my order. Of the two people behind the counter, one could not have cared less about my dilemma, but the other was of some help with this and my order. I wound up walking two blocks downhill to a park with benches. Second, that all orders are cooked to order and take 25 minutes. Fortunately there is a branch of the Pittsburgh Public Library across the street and it was open, so that occupied my time. The food: the chicken and catfish are fried in light crispy breading, very fine. The chicken wingettes were delicious. The catfish was not easily flaked and was ever so slightly rubbery, which would have been a very bad sign if it had been any more so. But it wasn't too bad. Green beans are a good side dish at this sort of joint, and these were good, seasoned with meat and sautéed onions mixed in. The white rice was entirely plain but tasty.

    I saw this place advertised on Facebook and thought I'd give it a try for breakfast . Lots of food…read morephotos makes me want to try later meals as well. They advertised a free entree for Labor Day so I thought they would be packed, but the lot was empty, except for two adorable young girls playing in front. I went inside and found it to be sparsely decorated with fewer tables than I expected and almost no artwork. I even thought about asking if I could help in that area. Maybe some simple posters of kitchen items or the girls running would warm up the place a little. They have only been open a short time so I expect they have some plans yet to be realized. I was pleased to learn that one of the young ladies, Alia (sp?) would be my server (with Mom's help). She did a terrific job and it was great watching her learning her craft. I ordered a basic breakfast and it was all well prepared except for the eggs. Did you ever get the feeling that certain cooks have a problem making eggs in ways they don't like to eat? For example, someone making scrambled eggs who prefers them over easy may have a problem and vice versa. I got the feeling that's what happened today. My over easy eggs where anything but. I wanted to go back in the kitchen and give them a quick lesson. Cook them until the whites are done, roll them over wait 15 seconds and you're good to go. I didn't get my free entrée, and my eggs were pretty much untouched, but still, I liked the people, the place and all of the rest of the food was delicious so I think these girls deserve a chance. Given a little time, this could be a very nice addition to the neighborhood. And I hope that once Aaliyah finds out she can do this, she realizes she could do anything.
