Chicken oysters
Chan B.

Sooooo yummy!!! Service and ambiance was perfect. The food was insane. I got a chicken sandwich and it was perfection. We also got a Philly chicken steak which was soooo bomb and cheesy and great. The milk shakes were also to die for!! Def would go back.

Great service! Food was hit and miss though. The BAE was great. Juicy and tasty chicken, egg, avocado etc. what more can you ask for. Maybe some better sauce options, but not a deal breaker. The not so great was the biscuits and gravy. Gravy was bit plain and biscuit was hard and tasteless. Was expecting something like Popeyes biscuits but ended up with something you'd expect from an MRE :) egg was cooked perfectly though and lots of hot sauce fixes a lot of things Look, breakfast is tough in Vegas, so if you don't have a lot of time this place isn't bad if you order right. Or just order chicken no matter the time of day and you can't go wrong! :)

Where else can you see a rooster hanging upside down on from the ceiling?

Neat sports bar connected to the Park MGM. The wife ordered the Little Pecker 3 fire-tossed tenders, 4 biscuits, hand cut fries, honey butter, fountain drink and I ordered the All-American Chick two chicken patties, crispy bacon, griddled mustardy onions, american cheese, b&b pickles, savory sauce, shredded iceberg, potato bun. This is a walk up order sit down when your box goes off you go pick up your order! Serve yourself drinks unless you order from the bar where you pick that up also. So no table service! Food was hot and delicious! I enjoyed the chicken burger Patties that are grilled (not the typical deep fried breaded patty). Lots of TVs and interesting decor! Wasn't a real long wait but it's fast food made to order! Chicken tenders were a little thick with breading! Overall a pleasant experience.

I came across this spot while on a morning stroll around Las Vegas, and let me just say--it did not disappoint at all! The chicken was so juicy, tender, and packed with flavor, not dry one bit. You can really tell they know what they're doing. The katsu sandwich is also such a great addition to the menu--seriously packed with flavor and just hits the spot. I could honestly eat this for days, it was that good. Definitely a place I'll be coming back to the next time I'm in Vegas!

Firebird sandwich. Very delicious.
Loc L.

This place is fantastic for chicken. The best chicken sandwich I've had. The prices are fair to be on the strip too. I got the firebird sandwich. Not as spicy as I wanted but I understand why. Service was quick and easy. Very nice host/cashier person that explained the whole menu to me because it was my first time. Very relaxing environment with a nice theme. Nice bar too. Hats off to Chef Blais. I understand why you won Next Level Chef over Gordon Ramsay. Ramsay's burger spot was very terrible. The student has become the master. Last note, my gf, who is black, said, "Blais is invited to all my cookouts," after eating the chicken tenders. That is a real compliment.

Firebird and hand-cut fries
Ramon A.

Had the Firebird and hand-cut fries while in Vegas for WrestleMania. Food took a while even for one person so keep wait times in mind but enjoyed the food. The fries were hot and crispy and the sandwich was tasty though I would've liked the chicken cooked just a tad longer - personal preference but was juicy. There are also outdoor tables facing The Strip for a cool view.

Fries
Brandon D.

I got the Firebird and I really enjoyed it. Big piece of chicken, saucy, very moist and tender. I also tried some of the coop deville and Cali drip. I thought the fries were just ok. They have self service for sauces and utensils here. They also have a big sink like crawfish places to wash your hands

Order-at-the-kiosk setup, no table service. Loud, a little chaotic, but it works--grab your puck and pick up your food when it's ready. Got the Cali Drip and a White Claw. This thing is basically a Cali burrito turned into a panini--pollo asado, fries, bacon, chipotle-bacon mayo, pickled onions, jalapeños, and melted Oaxacan cheese all pressed into a torta roll. It's rich, messy, and seriously good. Couldn't finish it (GLP wins again), but no complaints--what I did eat was worth it.

Hayden L.

The chicken was juicy and flavorful. Most of the fries were good, but some were over fried where there was no potato left. It was like biting into crispy oil. The cashier was friendly and it took a while for the food to be ready. It's open late with a casual lively atmosphere. It's easy access from the street outside of Park MGM.

Cheryl L.

Breakfast for 2 came to around $33 total. We had a breakfast burrito and the breakfast sandwich. They were tasty and were delicious. The wait time was 10-15 min. This would be a great place to watch football as they have two big screens which was awesome on Sunday morning. A few problems with this place. They charged $4 for coffee when the sign said $3. Personally, I believe you need to honor the advertised price on your signage until you get new ones with the new price. The cashier told us, but still felt like it should be $3. We didn't argue and paid the extra $1.

Regina S.

3.5/5 Casual and quick spot. Stopped in on our trip to Vegas for a quick dinner. Ordering process was a bit confusing - bar versus counter vs machine and happy hour stuff had to be order at counter... anyways ordered food and although it wasn't too busy it took longer than expected to come out. I'm not complaining though! Food was good and very filling. Chicken was tender and flavorful. Like most Vegas establishments, expect to pay a pretty penny. Vibes were good. This is a good place to watch sports. Patio is chill.

My sister wanted to try this place out since she knows my love for fried chicken. The staff was great, however, the fried chicken was super crispy, batter is super thick and salty. The thickest I have ever ate, the inside was super hot and juicy. I never reject fried chicken, even if it's from the supermarket or gas station but this was not good at all. The fire sauce was just basic. The fries and biscuit is just okay. There were plenty of space to sit, inside and outside.

Kelvin L.

This was my second time coming to Crack Shack, and its still fire! They've added a lot more items to the menu since my last visit, which is cool but the spicy chicken is definitely the go-to! It's fried in their Fire Sauce and comes out super crispy with just the right amount of heat and flavor. The pickles are also a plus to the meal. The coleslaw salad was also surprisingly good. It's not too heavy or overly creamy like some places -- it's light, balanced, and pairs really well with the chicken. Shoutout to Ken for the great service. He was really helpful, attentive, and made sure everything came out right. The quality of service definitely stood out and made the experience even better.

Reviews are largely positive. People praise the juicy chicken sandwiches, crispy seasoned fries, and friendly, helpful service, as well as the lively casual atmosphere.

Is there parking or do I need to uber to get there? I am coming from out of town on a road trip. Thank you.

Depends upon where you're staying. There's no parking on the Strip, but you can park at Park MGM or Aria for $$$, unless you're Pearl (self parking) or Gold (valet). If you're not staying or playing at either place, I'd Uber.

Is all you chicken fried?

They also have grilled chicken sandwiches and pulled chicken on the salads.

Is smoking allowed inside your restaurant, and if not, does the smell of cigarette smoke make it into your restaurant as it's a part of a larger casino hotel?

No smoking allowed and it is not connected to the casino, it's a separate building. But if it was, Park MGM is actually a non-smoking casino/hotel, so no issues there :)

Does this restaurant use a shared fryer for things like fried chicken that would cross contaminate foods like gluten free french fries? I have Celiac disease and have to eat gluten free.?

Hi Rachel! Unfortunately due to the size of our kitchen, our fries do share a fryer with the bone-in fried chicken. That said, we do have plenty of non-fried options for our GF peeps. If you'd like recommendations for the most popular items (and… 

Is there a way to make reservations?

I don't think they take reservations

Is it possible to purchase wings & thighs only?

I tried to do that and they would not.

Are your fried chicken gluten free by any chance?

Hi Kathy, unfortunately we are only able to execute gluten free fried chicken at our Encinitas and Costa Mesa coops. That said, we have plenty of gluten free chicken options including grilled, smoked and pollo asado. We can make any sandwich protein… 

Do you guys have chicken oysters available I see it's sold out online for a while now?

We do have chicken oysters available! Rest assured they are back and ready to be devoured ;) Can't wait to see you!

Are you open for diner tonight 8/28/21? If do, can we make reservations?

Hello! We don’t take reservations as we are a counter service style restaurant, so seating is wherever you’d like, first come first served. That said, we can always help you find a spot and the wait is never too long!

What kind of oil do you use to fry/deep fry?

We use canola, as it is free of most allergens :)

Is the bar open yet?

Hey Rachael, thanks for reaching out! Our bar is currently open on weekends, for now, as we work to hire back enough staff to sling quality craft drinks 7 days a week :) I hope you'll join us!

Hi when is your happy hour? Thank you!

Hi Maria--Happy Hour was actually a covid casualty for us. As things are starting to open back up and as we continue to re-hire positions behind the bar, Happy Hour is definitely on our minds. We will re-implement it soon, and will share on our… 

I stopped by the Crack Shack however the employee didn't seem to be familiar with the Food & Beverage credit and stated it couldn't be used there. Could you please verify if Crack Shack had decided to stop moving forward with accepting the credit?

Hi there! The hotel has multiple types of credits and comps--what we CAN do here are room charges, but not players comps, MGM gift cards or M-Life points. Let me know if you have any further questions! nrogers@crackshack.com

Can you use Food & Beverage Credit the MGM Resorts provide by charging to your room?

Great question, Donny. We've recently implemented a new system to be able to accept MGM room numbers and F&B credits. We're working on getting that up and running and testing out with Hotel tech--we're hopeful that we will be able to start by the… 

Do you guys have a happy hour?

Pre-COVID, yes, but we just re-opened and have not yet brought back happy hour as we get business up and running once again. We do, however, have limited time, discounted specials that we've been dropping every few weeks. Right now, there's a Hot… 

Where can we park for dine in since park mgm is close?

Across the street SP+ Parking 3769 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89109

Are you guys open since Park MGM is closed?

We sure are! Open for safe, socially-distant indoor and outdoor dining as well as takeout (order here or in advance online). You can also find us on DoorDash for delivery. Hope you'll come visit us soon!

Do you guys serve alcohol?

Of course we do, this is Vegas!

Do you allow room charges to MGM hotels?

Hi Steve--we're working with MGM to get our point of sale system synced up with their room charges ASAP. It should be up and running by next week, at the latest!

Are you dog friendly? What time of the day are dogs allowed? I know there's certain policy on Las Vegas strip on times when dogs can be on the strip. I have a medium size dog

We do have a dog friendly patio! Bring your furry friend :)

Then you have to walk up the staircase to a dining room with a FEW. And I'll stress on that--A FEW tables.. a small amount. EVERY table was full. In fact, every time I got up, within seconds, someone had stolen my seat. Oh my gosh. Are we serious? Now the bathrooms. I guess it accommodates the FEW tables they have, but it absolutely does not accommodate the enormous Vegas street traffic. There are 2 SINGLE bathrooms. They don't have one for male and one for female. They have TWO TOILETS. My best friend was waiting for our food--and also to find a seat out of the FEW tables they had. Long story short, the floor directly outside the bathrooms were soaked in a fresh pile of yellow liquid. She peed on the floor. Maybe make a reasonable bathroom plan. Now the food. The chicken tenders were good. Fries were COLD!!!!!!! And the BREAD!!!!!! We asked for BOB (not the hairstyle) bread. Usually, BOBs (not the hairstyle) are made fresh. We got our bread and it tasted like straight cardboard. Tough, rugged, just NASTY!!!!!!!!! And the lemonade was HOT!!!! Speaking of HOT!!!!! I'm not sure if this location didn't pay the bill in time, but I was convinced there was no AC AT ALL!! Especially for the FEW tables all CRAMPED together in the dining room like SARDINES!!! It was 111 degrees outside!! I LOVE canes and I sport their merch every day! I've never thrown something in the trash so fast!! I hate canes now!! Ew!!!!! Off to chipotle!!!!!

I did one order and the fries were so little but I did the second order and the fries were soo much. Anyways did you know that if you complain online to canes customer service and you provide details, they will send you 2 free gift cards in the mail? Yes. I just complained and they called and said sorry they will mail me gift cards. They are hands down consistent. The food is always decent, I wish they had a salad option but otherwise I suspect canes will be in business for a very long time.

At 11pm, nothing whispers sweet nothings to the soul quite like Panda Express orange chicken, so obviously that's what we got. Despite a suspiciously long line right before closing, the service was shockingly fast (bless). Major points for being open super late too... especially on weekends, when bad decisions and orange chicken go hand in hand. Pro tip: they close at 2am on Friday & Saturday night.

This was by far the worst Panda Express experience I've ever had…read more I visited this location during lunch on August 2, 2026, and the service was awful. The male employee working the lunch shift had a terrible attitude from start to finish. He looked irritated the entire time, wasn't welcoming at all, and acted like helping customers was a burden. To make things worse, I purchased a drink and politely asked for some extra ice. I was told no. I even offered to pay for the extra ice, and they still refused without giving me any reasonable explanation. I've never experienced something so ridiculous at any other Panda Express. The food was just as disappointing. The rice was dry and hard, the meat was dry, tough, and lacked flavor, and the vegetables tasted old and overcooked. Nothing tasted fresh. I've been to many Panda Express locations, and this is easily the worst one. Poor customer service, poor food quality, and an overall unpleasant experience. Management seriously needs to address both the staff's attitude and the quality of the food. I definitely won't be returning.

If you order at a kiosk, you can choose one of the number stands so they can identify your table. Not sure why they have you select a number if it's to go because you pick it up at a pick up shelf. I had a double shack burger ($10.99) and fries ($4.99). It's a much bigger menu than the last time I was at shake shack - they have a few west coast options that I'm not sure are specific to the west coast or not. It was a solid burger - bigger than I was expecting. The fries were also better than I remembered, nice and crispy on the outside and soft and airy on the inside. I'd definitely go back for an easy option on the strip. We were staying at the MGM Grand which is more or less right across the street.
