This is a carryout establishment, or you can always mow down in your car! We came here after a beautiful day at Hatcher's Pass. It took less than 10 minutes to get our food. It was cooked thoroughly, I think it just needed a little mayo or something on the buns. Fries are a little greasy, but they were good! We really want to try the wings and waffle fries next time! read more

BL: definitely swing by and give it a try! Waffle fries for the win! Had the (fried) spicy chicken combo (fries + can soda) for $13! (that's a steal compared to fast food!) It would've been a 5 star if the chicken was more crispy. I did get there 30 mins before closing (they said not too late to order) so not sure if that affected anything but food was hot, just not as crispy crunchy as I expected. A liquid sauce is added to make it spicy. The waffle fries were really crispy and the hand cut fries were a bit more soft but both were good, preference for waffle though. Mom & pop feel - order inside but there's no sit down area inside so either eat in your car, take it home or there are 2 benches on the lawn if you don't mind the company of the state bird. read more

The food is OK, I have never eaten at Chik-Fil-A so have no frame of reference there but the chicken sandwich was just OK. The fries were soggy by the time we got our food, we were the only people there and it took quite a long time to get our food, and it is a bit disconcerting to walk in and be standing on the edge of the kitchen. There is no ambiance to this place, it is a tiny place with an office on one side and a kitchen on the other and you open the door, walk in, and you are standing in the middle of it. I guess some people love the place and I have to respect that, it just wasn't amazing to us read more

Thanks to Nathan B for this great find! I was in the area and wanted to try something new. Honestly would've never seen this place if Nathan hadn't put it on Yelp! It's in an area of Wasilla that I don't frequent often. Small roadside eatery with only outdoor seating and a pretty simple menu. Ordering was easy they have a system to do it online or you you call it in. You can also go inside to order. It took about 20 minutes to get the food and it was a weekday night around 6pm so it's a relatively quick option! I love a good hot chicken sandwich, and I'm always looking to try new ones! So that's what I ordered along with some boneless wings. I love the amount of fry options they have here, and waffle fries are my favorite type! I feel they're very underrated. The chicken sandwich was good. It wasn't as spicy as I would have liked, but it had a nice flavor. I do wish it came with some lettuce, tomato & onion. It's only topped with pickles and Mayo. My chicken breast was an average size nothing huge, but it definitely didn't seem too small for the bun. The waffle fries were seasoned and very tasty! They have both bone in & boneless wings. I opted for boneless. They were good, nothing special. I got them with bbq sauce because I was sharing with my toddler, and the sauce had nice flavor. Overall this is a great spot for any fried chicken cravings. When I go back I'm going to see if they can make the chicken sandwich hotter, but it was a tasty and affordable meal! read more

If you are looking for the closest thing to a Chick-fil-A sandwich you can get in Alaska: this is it! The dead-giveaways that the sandwiches here are inspired by Chick-fil-A are: - Mayonnaise and pickles instead of lettuce and tomato - Tasteful breading that isn't excessive This place really is a coop! It is TINY! There is no dining in area, so you're either going to grab-n-go or eat in your car. For sides, I went with the southern corn and...wow, it was incredible! Some of the best corn-on-the-cob I've ever had! I grew up in the south and...this is BETTER than Mama used to make it! I got my chicken sandwich extra spicy, and it had a decent heat kick to it. Wish we had this place in Anchorage, I would go all the time! (we do have Chicken Shack, which is similar...the problem is, they are WAY more expensive. Feels silly paying $21 for a chicken sandwich) Stop reading and GO HERE! read more

Don't let the small location fool you. This place is a powerhouse of flavor. When you walk up, it looks like you can order from the window. The door says to "pull hard." I was just debating which one to head to when I heard a voice say, "Come on in." Dilemma solved. "Sweet and sassy, mixed with inferno" he said. "That's the mixture to make the spicy chicken sandwich." I decided I was up for trying. It was flavorful and not too spicy. I bet they could make it extra spicy if you asked. "Waffle fries, mojo potatoes, fries." Just so many potato options. The waffle fries were delicious. The chicken sandwich was more bun than chicken. Either a second chicken tender or a smaller bun would make me feel more full. The chicken was cooked perfectly. Excellent breading to chicken to sauce ratio. I will definitely be back. read more

I adore their spicy chicken sandwich. It's crispy, tangy, spicy and the bun is the perfect compliment. The service is friendly and quick, and they bring your food to your car if they're not busy. Inside is tiny but I believe you can sit in there, can't quite remember. read more

This place is the Chick-fil-a fix we needed coming from the Lower 48! Hole in the wall but awesome food. Such a great classic chicken sandwich. Definitely go with the waffle fries. Staff is so nice and friendly. read more

A surprising location. We got chicken and fries. Since I had to drive back home about 10 min things were a bit soggy and limp. I still enjoyed the fries. This is just a small building, with a kitchen in the back and a greeter up front. Pay the bill and grab the bag and out you go. read more

The food and service are phenomenal. I can't recommend this place enough for an amazing seafood fix. Most of the seafood like the king crab and lobster are market price "MP", you could expect to spend some money but it is well worth it. The flavors in the sauces are very aromatic and flavorful. Each time I've eaten here, I forget to take photos of our food. Lol, it's so delicious, we judt dig in and start cracking! It's kind of hard to think of taking photos when you're wearing clumsey plastic gloves and wearing a bib! A boil bag is more than enough for two people, and the appetizers are practically a meal in itself. read more

The Chicken Coop - My mom's 77th orbit mermaid food fix. - Chicken Shop Near Me - Palmer, Alaska

So we came back again to see John and staff. Man, it smelled good walking in the door. We had to catch up before ordering. There is new stuff on the menu, but we stuck to the wings. We ordered the southern fry wings, the original, which is Cajun rub, the sweet and sassy, which is a cross between BBQ and teriyaki. Wings are available in different heat levels. We love hot! We weren't disappointed with great flavors and heat! Blue Cheese was right on! Even though a small place staff is always friendly and talkative. read more

Awesome southern style food. The chicken was extremely tender and flavorful, very similar to Chik fil a chicken sandwiches. Definitely recommend if you're craving fried chicken for a decent and quick meal. read more

This is a hidden gem! We were out running errands and needed a quick bite. As a Texan who enjoyed Chick Fil A, a chicken sandwich sounded great. So we stopped. My husband had the pork tenderloin sandwich which is MASSIVE!!!! The batter was totally on point and had a kick so be ready. The chicken sandwiches were great too. Fantastic portions and everything is super fresh. Super nice friendly gentlemen. We will definitely be back. Then added bonus, the property behind them has peacocks running around. Super cool to see. read more

This was the best chicken sandwich I have ever had. We went on New Year's Eve and the gentleman gave us his favorite recommendations and it was incredible. He said it and I agree: the best chicken sandwich west of the Mississippi. 10/10. read more

Been trying to eat here for awhile. It's the small place with big flavor , we ordered wings, chicken sandwiches and mozzarella sticks. All the food was great, food was cooked good came out fast . A great hole in the wall good stop to eat in the car or take home . We will be going back . read more

Been here a few times since they've been open and I couldn't rate them higher! What makes them sooo good is; the chicken is so juicy, their hot sauce isn't just hot but super flavorful, and who doesn't love extra crispy waffle fries! The men that own the place are very kind and welcoming, and keep their customer service top tier! I will keep coming back any time I'm in the area! We the coop! read more

This is a hidden gem! It's a small mom and pop shop that has really good chicken. It is a take-out place only; but they do have two picnic tables outside. For the cost, you get plenty to eat; it was too much for me, so I took some of it home. The chicken sandwich comes with a little bit of mayo and about five pickles. It was just right. I'll look forward to my next visit. read more

The Chicken Coop - Chicken sandwich combo - Chicken Shop Near Me - Palmer, Alaska

Can't say how this place actually is. Pulled up to get food for 7 of us and the guy inside looked at my lover like she must be crazy. Said it would be over 45 minutes but it was awkward and just felt like they didn't want to take our order. I guess it is best just to call ahead and pick up later. read more

Probably one of the best chicken sandwiches in Alaska. The wings are killer too, way better than the chain down the street. This is a solid 4 star chicken shack, the spicy chicken sandwich is life changing on the way down, and on the way out. . Plus they delivered all the way out to our place on the Fishhook. This is a must try if you like wings. read more

Delicious fries! Quick service. Helpful employees who bring your food to your car. Not an indoor eatery.

Spicy chicken sandwich was tender and juicy, and spicy! The buns were soft and moist. Portions were just enough to feel content and not have leftovers. read more

Everything from the chicken coop is always delicious and fresh. My favorite item is the Cajun corn on the cob. They operate like a deli- you come in and order and they give you your food so it is not a sit down restaurant. I can't say much for the ambiance because you're really not inside for long, but when you do walk in everything smells amazing. Really kind people and know how to cook REAL chicken read more

Ok I've eaten here 3 times and am ready to review. This place is legit! This is exactly the type of place that Wasilla needs. Non-corporate, local and down to earth. Nothing fancy here except but the taste of everything I've tried is top chef for southern style fried chicken. Nothing irritates me more than a spicy fired chicken sandwich with a lack of pickles. Not the Coop. They pile em on. Pork sandwich has a cut of pork the size of your head. Prices are affordable and I would recommend everything on the menu. Get down her and try it and support local businesses. No KFC or Wing Stop or Canes. The Coop is the chicken spot in Wasilla. read more

Big portions great food great service great menu great location love it Great place big portions friendly workers read more

Super yummy soul food! And such kind service! We are happy that tried out this hidden treasure!

My lord, ya'll! This place is a hidden gem! It's only takeout, so plan ahead. I ordered the pork tenderloin sandwich with sides of waffle fries and fried okra, because I just couldn't decide. The sandwich bun was the biggest one I've ever seen, and the pork tenderloin had to be close to a half pound. The waffle fries were the best fries. I've had anywhere in my 56 years of life. I'm not sure what they dipped them in before they fried them, but they are fantastic! the fried okra, well, it's been a long time, comfort food of mine, and it certainly hit the spot. This picture was taken after I got home, and I had already eaten half of the okra and half of the fries. There were still more fries than would fit on a dinner plate with the sandwich, so I had to sit the sandwich on top. I can't wait to try their fried catfish dinner! read more

My husband and I finally stopped and ate at the Chicken Coop! I am so annoyed at myself that we had never tried it before. I'm going to tell you that this was the best EVER chicken sandwich I have ever eaten in my 63 years of my life. I cannot believe how fresh and the chicken was actually chicken! It was so delicious and fresh and crispy. I told my husband to turn around so I can go I personally and tell them how good my sandwich was. Unfortunately We were almost home otherwise he would have turned around. So writing this Yelp so hopefully it will encourage people to go see for themselves. We are absolutely 100 percent returning often and we will recommend to all of our friends and family as well!! I had the spicy chicken and my husband had the regular chicken. Please continue the way you are doing your business with the freshness and delicious sandwiches read more

The chicken wings are always cooked perfectly. Sauces taste great and crinkle fries are yummy!

Love the spicy chicken sandwich! Cool little shack... one of those local hole in the wall places.

Absolutely delightful. Check out their Facebook page. They make the best wings in the valley and are very affordable.

The wings were... good, for the single bite each one was. By far the smallest chicken wings I've ever had. Very overpriced given how small the wings were. read more

The people working were just as great if not greater than their amazing food. A little place with a whole lot of heart and some of the best corn and wings I've ever had and I'm from the midwest - will always come back read more

Best dry rub wings in Alaska, hands down. You can easily eat a 20 piece and still want more.
