    The Chicken Shack
    Russell T.

    Stopped in at a little after 3 today to give then a try and see what they are all about. First the dining room is closed, so I go through the drive thru. They literally want $12 for some chicken wings and $3.59 for a pop. Look at their menu, these are insane prices. The neighbors have big juicy tenders for a fraction of the prices. Buffalo Wild Wings prices are also way lower. These would be insane prices even for the most stuck up corner of West Des Moines! Well, I wanted to give them a try, I ordered, waited for the one car at the window to get their order, and after being stuck there for 20 minutes, because there was no room to drive around, I drove right thru and on my way. They will be gone by November.

    Tender Combo with Garlic Fries
    Rhonda G.

    I REALLY want to support a new business in Highland Park but the Chicken Shack might make that difficult. I'd been meaning to stop in, so when it popped up on my Uber Eats with a discount code I figured, worth a shot and I'd go in person if it was a win. I ordered a 5 tender combo with lemonade, added an up charge for garlic fries instead of regular, and splurged on the molten lava brownie because Monday, As others have mentioned, it's pricey for chicken strips and fries without a promo (even if you're like me and intentionally order the large combo for leftovers). That said, they are chunky white meat tenders and tasty when you get your whole order (they forgot the 5th tender) and I'd say if you want crispy tenders, these aren't it. They're more soft and breaded style which is totally fine. The garlic fries were solid and bar quality but the brownie was a definite pass (overpriced and underwhelming). I stupidly thought a chicken place would have a good lemonade too but no, just some fountain Minute Maid.

    Chicken is always cooked fresh but the seasoning is due for a overhaul to make this a regular go to chicken wing spot.

    Nice big chunks of white meat chicken but way oversalted, overseasoned and overpriced.

    Best french fries in town. The chicken was crispy and delicious. I would 100% recommend it.

    This is a local fast food joint with a private parking lot and dual drive-through lines (Passenger…read moreand Driver). The staff there was friendly enough, but my interaction with them was limited. The restaurant does not have an indoor dining area, but there are some tables outside that you can sit and eat at. On Mondays, they have a single burger special. It really draws people in and packs the place. They pretty much only have burgers and fries. I got the bacon western burger. It took them about 8 minutes to prepare. The burger was ok. It did not live up to the hype. I liked that I could taste the flame-broiled flavor, but it also had a frozen-patty taste. The fries were also not up there with the best that I have had. Was I able to eat my food? Yes... but it just did not rank up there with the better burgers I have had. This would not be my go-to spot for burgers. I would more than likely find a different burger joint to satisfy my craving.

Their design is kind of cool in that the lanes are on opposite side, one for driver's side and the other for passenger. As I was willing to reach and the line was shorter, I chose passenger. My choices were single cheeseburger, fries, and a lemonade. Great stuff and it was certainly messy dining on all this goodness on the road. A Midwest favorite.
