There was a heated tent with only 1 heater functioning. So we decided to take our food to eat at the hotel. I ordered the lamb rice plate. It had a small amount of lettuce. The hummus and tzatziki sauce were plentiful. The pita bread was super soft and tasty. My husband ordered the kabob gyro. Super yummy. If we ever drive this way again, we will definitely stop!

( poor thing waited from 12:30 until 4 while I was in the scan). Yes? Barbecue? NO! Burgerville! (which we don't have at the coast). Ok. ( putting brisket dreams aside, sigh). We got 2 colossal burgers, a diet coke, a seasonal marionberry milkshake, onion rings ( huge, and expensive) and fries ( smallllll). I didn't specify size on those two things I was tired. OOPS. Cost?$ 35.Plus tip. No report on ambiance,we did drive thru. We used to do more Burgerville but it's spendy and not close to home. It has become a sometimes treat. People are complaining about the burgers but we enjoyed them. And we are happy it's still local serving NW ingredients.

5-Star Review for The Chicken Shanty in Albany, Oregon! I…read morerecently stopped by The Chicken Shanty at 2218 Santiam Hwy SE in Albany, and it was an absolute delight! This place has quickly become one of my favorite spots for fried chicken in the area. The chicken is outstanding--perfectly hand-breaded, crispy on the outside, and incredibly juicy inside. I went with the Nashville Hot Chicken sandwich, and it delivered just the right amount of heat with fresh coleslaw and pickles on a toasted bun. The flavors were bold and delicious! Their chicken strips and beer-battered fries were also fantastic, crispy, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care using quality, cage-free ingredients. What really stands out is the friendly service and the family-run feel of the place. The staff was welcoming and efficient, even during a busy time. You can tell they put love into every order. The portions are generous, and everything tastes fresh and homemade. If you're in Albany (or willing to make the drive), do yourself a favor and check out The Chicken Shanty. Whether you're craving a spicy basket, classic tenders, or some tasty sides, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend and I'll definitely be back soon! Pro tip: Try the Hot Chicken Basket. You can thank me later.

Interesting spot, ample parking in a huge plaza but also there's a small drive-thru. Service was…read morefriendly and they were very patient, though the chicken leaves a bit to be desired because it was dry all around. Definitely a spot where more sauce is better. Mac N Cheese Chicken - to start, the mac was deliciously cheesy, creamy, and plentiful. Great side for an order! Chopped chicken tenders however, were on the drier end. Still edible without a bev, but combining with the mac really helped. I'd be skeptical of the chicken tenders given this experience. BBQ Wings - these were more dry, both inside and out. Chicken wasn't as tender as some fast food spots. BBQ sauce was very light, almost like a dry rub. Sauce did not save the dry wings, bev appreciated if ordering this but also would skip. Dragonfruit Wings - while the chicken was on the drier side, the dragonfruit sauce made up for it. It's a sweeter sauce that doesn't taste much like dragonfruit, which admittedly is mild in flavor, but has the essence of fruit. They use more dragonfruit sauce than the BBQ as called out above, which helps a ton but the wings still lack the juiciness which is unfortunate.
