We had people coming over for a birthday party and heard about Mo's Chicken Shack and decided to give them a try.
I had some menu questions and reached out on Facebook and they were very attentive and patient in answering my questions. The service in the store was excellent and personable. We did order and pay a day ahead since this was a bit larger of an order and they were finishing packing it up when I walked in at the time I said I'd be there.
Things were well packaged in aluminum tins for the chicken and fries. The chicken had a piece of white bread in there to soak up any liquid and make sure the chicken stayed crisp. The sides were in Styrofoam containers with plastic lids and the cornbread was wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in a Styrofoam container.
I ended up order three of the family dinners. Each comes with two pieces each of breasts, thighs, legs, and wings, plus four squares of cornbread, and four 8-ounce sides or a large fry. We had seven people and had more than a family dinner left over so plenty of food.
The chicken was excellent. The outside was crisp and flavorful. The wings, thighs, and legs were moist. The breasts were just a touch dry.
Everyone raved about the fries. Not sure about the seasoning but they were superb. You can see the large fries are a shareable size.
We ordered three different sides - baked mac and cheese, candied yams, and green beans (with potato and bacon). The green beans were tremendous. The candied yams were sweet...for flavor some folks thought nutmeg. The mac and cheese was what you'd expect from mac and cheese.
The cornbread was slightly moist and flavorful. Everyone loves it with a few people going back for seconds.
Overall, everyone had very positive comments about the food. our total to feed seven people (we'd been expecting ten) with plenty of leftovers was $94 (they do charge extra for using a credit card). This would've fed the full ten we were expecting so under $10/person is a great bargain!
I highly recommend. Give Mo's Chicken Shack a try yourself. It's well worth it. The Southerner in our group commented that this reminded him of his roots. read more
