The food looks good, but taste completely different This food gave me food poisoning. While I was eating it, it was fine. Chicken was a little overcooked. For the price I would rather go to Dave's hot chicken. The lemonade is really good though. The person who was taking my order was really rude. It was my first time there so I asked her what to get and she said I don't know l with a clear attitude. The inside of the restaurant is really nice and the fact that they have a drive-through is really convenient. read more

Quick service! Clean! Prices are good! Piping hot food! The chicken is well cooked and crispy and so are the fries. I love how the spice levels are customizable. Those of you with high spice tolerance will be pleased to know that the extra spicy is ACTUALLY extra spicy! It made both me and my friend cry. I will definitely be coming back, I was pleased with everything. read more

Hands down the best chicken sandwich ever! They have a spicy take in the Nashville hot style that I just keep coming back for. I'd give 10 stars if I could. Also gigantic wings (drum and flat connected) for a buck! So fire read more

I stopped at Chicken Wagon after a health screening event before heading back to New Orleans. I couldn't decide what to get so what not try it all? I really like the chicken sandwich, loaded mac and cheese and the coleslaw. Coleslaw is only good to me when it's crunchy and this one was perfect. The location was very clean and the staff members were pleasant. It takes a couple of minutes to get your meal but being that everything was freshly prepared, it's understood. read more

Super cute restaurant and excellent food! My daughter ordered the kids meal sandwich with no heat. Nice to have a "no spice" vs "no heat" option for kids. I ordered a chicken tender meal, "hot" heat. Perfect blend of spice and heat, but not so spicy that it's heat beyond taste. The chicken tenders wactually a decent size and like some other places and found. We will definitely be back! read more

I went back to the place because it was close and easy. I stick to my previous thoughts. The chicken isn't horrible. It's just very dry and tough and tastes like it's cooked in slightly dirty oil. The level of heat doesn't match the description. I ordered hot and it was quite mild. The spice is just this dry powder rub that you choke on Fries are ok but not my favorite. The wagon sauce is their recreating Canes sauce fairly closely. You do get a big piece of chicken on the sandwich and plenty of fries but it still costs 17 dollars. The people are friendly and the place looks clean but it just wouldn't be my choice of a chicken place. read more

Typing this as a I prepare to head back to this spot today. I heard the rave and didn't go with high hopes because I've heard it all before on other spots. I have had many hot chicken spots and there is one in my book (not in BR) that reigns supreme. On my first visit after the first bite, I knew I had my local spot! Yall better help me keep this place going :) The chicken tenders are huge for the price and seasoned perfectly. The chicken sandwich was also huge and yummy. Everything came out piping hot. The fries were ok but I'm not here for that, I'm here for the chicken. The place is clean and they have a drive thru. I got medium heat but about to start going up the levels. Highly recommend! read more

The food was quite good the chicken fingers were perfectly cooked and the fried were crispy. The service was extremely slow and I was not told when I ordered that it would be more than 20 minutes for my food to be ready. I had to go inside twice, once to find out what was going on and be told no refunds and the second time because when I did get my order they gave me half the number of chicken fingers and did not give me the extras I ordered. They have a good product so I recommend they work on service and communication. read more

Wings 10/10 extra crunchy large wings Fries 6/10 they are regular curly fries Mac and cheese extra creamy, could be aunt Ts from thanksgiving. Always great service.

Chicken Wagon - Mural on the wall inside. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

I've been seeing a lot of great things on social media, and I was nearby and in need of lunch, so naturally I had to grab a bite. Call me a wuss--I "can't take the heat," and opted for a mild chicken sandwich. It was topped with coleslaw and sauce on what I think was a brioche bun. The sandwich was huge. I couldn't finish it! It was served with deliciously seasoned crinkle cut fries and a sauce to dip in. The seasoning on the fries, and possibly on the chicken, had a sweet hint to it. Everything was perfection. My only regret is that I can't eat this as often as I would like or I'll become as round as I am tall! I feel that the price was also reasonable for what you get. Finally, the restaurant was cute and very clean. I took my meal to go but I hope to have the opportunity to dine in next time. And I will definitely be back! read more

Definitely was not disappointed by my first experience at Chicken Wagon after hearing rave reviews about their Nashville style hot chicken. The sandwich is fantastic with a lot of flavor and a nice bit of heat with the medium The fries are crispy and go great in the Wagon Sauce or ketchup. I had to add a side of mac and cheese which was super creamy and extra cheesy and great with a fork and in my sandwich. Nice atmosphere with plenty of space to sit inside. Service is good but no welcome when I walked in just a blank stare until I said hello. But that's neither here nor there. The food is bangin and I strongly recommend going. read more

You will have to wait a bit for your food (didn't bother me any) but it's fresh and hot with a reasonable price and a decent taste. How often do you come across a reasonable price paired with fresh and decent tasting food that also comes from a drive thru? Not often. The honey on the chicken is the real star of the show, I should've asked for a couple more packets of honey! It's so good with the chicken! The sauce isn't canes level good but it's very good. I would go back again for a quick meal most definitely. read more

This is a great spot to get lunch. They even have a drive thru! It's very clean and new looking in there. I got the sliders combo 5, medium spice. I didnt think it was spicy, will try hot next time. I really liked how the food comes with honey too, a great touch. The fries are super crunchy, even after driving back to work. I ordered my food online and picked it up, I did have to wait around 10 minutes even after I got there. The service was cool, although I didn't have to interact that much since I ordered online. If you're concerned about calories or protein content, they don't have nutritional information available yet since they just opened in May. read more

It is located in a shopping center on Staring Lane. Newer building and very fun look and atmosphere. The service was excellent and every one was very helpful. I ordered the loaded fries in the hot level. The fries and chicken were both cooked perfect for me. Crispy and hot. It has crinkle fries with sliced chicken tenders. They add seasoning, sauce and shredded cheese. To me the hot was never very spicy but i think it is the combination of it being sliced plus the cheese and fries with it. Overall very good. Price was around $13. Pretty much as expected. read more

the people are kind. the service is quick. the chicken is delicious and the portions are huge!

10/10 would always prefer this over canes! the tenders were HUGE and juicy!! I got the spiciest flavor and it definitely delivered a nice kick. The service was quick. wish we could sub out the toast for extra fries without extra cost though. The plan having lots of seating and the restaurant ambiance was causal. drive thru for us is 100% recommended as they were very fast with our order read more

Chicken Wagon - 3 piece combo, hot - Chicken Shop Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Update: I have been back and the food is still good, although I'd like to note and agree with others on the point that it is nothing spectacular that makes it stand out amongst the crowd of other fried chicken places. Don't get me wrong, the food does taste good. It's fresh, crispy, and nice quality, but it's just not anything to RAVE about. I would go back if I'm in the area and had a taste for a chicken sandwich. The new building is still clean and tidy. The service is also still very good. read more

Food: 4.5/5 Service: 5/5 Ambiance: 5/5 Food was good, ordered Combo 4 which is two chicken sliders. Portion size was fair a it smaller than expected. Flavor of chicken was good, but not spicy enough for the "hot" spice level. Flavor of crinkle cut fries was good too. Got an extra side of the sauce which had good flavor Service is everything with F&B and it was counter service so Just standard service, no wait staff. This place does have similar vibes like Dave's Hot Chicken, which is a colorful fun atmosphere. read more

I've been dying to try this place, and it was worth it, loved this chicken sandwich, it's delicious! I like that you can pick the level of spice you'd like. I got mild and know next time I'd get it a little spicier. The staff was friendly and patience with me as I decided what to pick. Loved the #1 but can't wait to try more things. I loved how much food you get, it's a good sized sandwich! The sauce to dip your fries is where it's at, so good! read more

7/21/2024 We ordered in advance. Parking lot is small but did not have an issue parking. Food was ready when we arrived. Inside was clean and organized. Staff was friendly and attentive. Foot was very hot and fresh. The tenders were gigantic!! We ordered different levels of heat. All was tasty. Mac and Cheese was okay. Nothing special. I didn't really care for the sauce. It was a generic tasting out of the bottle type of sauce. Overall good food, good value for amount of food and good service. read more

Chicken Wagon - Tenders with fries - Chicken Shop Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

4 stars because I was not told there would be a wait in drive thru. I did come to an understanding when I got to the window realizing it's just one guy working the place due to short staffing. He was cool at the window though. I got in and out in 15 min just one car in front of me. The food is amazing. Idk wtf a couple of these reviewers are talking about. I guess they got covid and can't taste the flavor/heat. It packs some heat and I only got the medium spice level. To give you a meter on my tastebuds, my dad is Cajun/creole and cooks a lot of spicy shit . Fries are crinkle cut and crispy. Nothin special about the fries but better than being just salt and pepper on them. Want to check the inside of the place next time for sure! It looked cool. read more

Chicken Wagon - The number one combo medium heat - Chicken Shop Near Me - Baton Rouge, Louisiana

Nice to be able to choose heat options. Better than most chicken places. Would recommend. Have tried take out and delivery.

The chicken was quite dry, though the seasoning was acceptable and the portion sizes were large. I placed an online order, and upon arrival was informed that two sides I had paid $4 for were unavailable. No refund or substitute was offered, and I was told a refund could not be issued because the order was placed online. After requesting an alternative, it took approximately 15 minutes to receive a replacement of fries and extra sauce. Customer service was unfriendly and inattentive. Based on this experience, I will not return and cannot recommend this establishment. read more

I was pleasantly pleased. Loved the seasoning on the chicken on the sliders. Well worth your time to try them out.

The best hot chicken I've had in so long--I've tried every hot chicken joint in Baton Rouge, PLUS Dave's, Gus's, Mike's, Party Fowl, and Hattie B's out of state. Chicken Wagon does not disappoint at all--flavor, consistency, freshness, quality, it's all there and more! Their batter is incomparable and doesn't fall off like other places, and I love that!!! You can adjust the spice level, their Wagon sauce is so good, and there's so many options from loaded fries, sliders, sandwiches, to tenders and wings!!! The wait is a decent pace considering everything is fresh!!! read more

First impressions: fairly clean and spacious, with loud music blasting in the lobby. Menu prices are decent compared to Raisin Cane's with a 4 tender combo with fries and a drink costing $12. Tried the hottest spice level and it wasn't very hot, especially for a place advertised/targeted as Nashville hot chicken. The chicken was well seasoned, and has a lot more flavor than Cane's, but Cane's sauce is better. The Mac and cheese was mediocre, both the regular and the loaded version (loaded version includes fried chicken bites plus jalapeños and pickles). They just poured nacho cheese on top and called it day . Pretty sad mac and cheese, worse than a boxed kraft mac and cheese. Sandwich was pretty good, size wise slightly bigger than a Popeye's chicken sandwich but value-wise it's $11, so not really worth it. All in all, pretty average chicken spot in a city filled with options for chicken (blue store, chicken shack, krispy krunchy, etc) Vastly overhyped based off earlier reviews. Chicken: 4/5 Fries: 3/5 Mac and cheese: 1/5 read more

I wanted so bad to like this place I searched and searched for the best fried chicken sandwich in Baton Rouge and came across chicken wagon. The people serving the food were nice I did have to wait for the food which I didn't mind because it was fresh and hot. Now let's talk about the sandwich. The idea is there, but the batter is basically non existent. It's not a crispy crunchy battered fried chicken. The chicken itself was a massive piece of white chicken that honestly lacked flavor and they need to rework their batter. The fries were not bad. I won't be back but I wish them luck. In the south you have to nail down a great fried chicken batter. read more

The food was good. The service was excellent. The atmosphere was ok. Overall it is a nice place to check out.

This place was amazing! The interior of the restaurant is really trendy and clean. Would be a great place to snap some pictures. I ordered Combo #2, which was the four tender combo. I got the hot spicy level and it was just the right level for me. The tenders were perfectly seasoned, and were an adequate size. Would recommend putting the honey that they give you on it. The fries were about as great as they could be. The food also came out really quick and the workers were extremely friendly. My girlfriend got the chicken sandwich combo, which she thought was very flavorful. read more

Service was good. Greeted almost immediately when we walked in. Clean and pretty cool murals on the walls. Food came quick. I had the chicken sandwich and everyone else had fingers. Bread was soft, coleslaw had good crunch with a good mix of sweet and vinegar. Overall pretty good. Not a fry person but fries were hit and crispy. Chicken was tender, well coated. Seasoned but not hot. Sauce is Caine like but a bit sweeter. All and all a pretty good fast food spot. read more

I've had a lot of Nashville hot chicken around the US. Chicken wagon takes the cake. From the chicken to all the sides this place is legit! Great service from all the workers and the food was great. Best chicken in Baton Rouge ! read more

Had the medium spicy tenders. Seasoned really well & tenders were pretty big. Probably my new chicken spot honestly.

The food is incredible. The best chicken sandwich in Louisiana. The service is slower than normal.

If you've been eating Canes a lot and you wanna mix it up, try this place. The chicken is of a much greater quality and the flavors/spice is great. The fries are just ok. I like the Mac and cheese better. read more
