    Worth every possible clogging of arteries it may cause be eating this. It's the closest thing to Willie Maes in the Baton Rouge area. The batter is different like a wet batter and crispy. The chicken pieces are big and juicy.

    Tuesday's they run a special on the two piece dark. I hardly come near the area so I always get the 3 piece dinner with two sides. The red beans are really good and mac and cheese is ok.

    Staff is friendly and they get you in and out. If you never had chicken shack you better get your boots on and come get some.

    My favorite day of the week is Tuesday because of the Popeyes two piece special. I almost always will order fried chicken if I see it on a menu. And almost always, it's hard to find a place that can do fried chicken better than Popeyes. I moved to Baton Rouge literally yesterday and trying Chicken Shack has turned my fried chicken world upside down

    Chicken Shack actually has a two piece special as well!! I got one of these along with red beans and rice, mustard greens, and a sweet potato pie

    The chicken was hot juicy and flavorful and had this unique crust that comes from what looks like a wet batter. Whatever it is it's delicious and I wanted more of it for sure

    The red beans and rice was decently flavorful but I didn't think was very special.

    The mustard greens were porky and savory, will get again.

    The sweet potato pie I thought was gonna be overrated, but one bite in and I was in heaven. This thing tasted like candied yams which I don't usually like but was amazing here

    The best chicken in town( PERIOD)! I really wished, they had one hear in South Baton Rouge! They would put a lot of chicken places out of business! I crust has the right kick and crunch too it, it's very welled seasoned! The rolls and side orders goes perfect with everything. My husband and his co-workers loves their PoBoy's and other dishes! Again, give them a try, and you will see for yourself!

    Came here yesterday with my brother since I wanted to try some place new AND get a chicken sandwich. So we got there, prices are cheap, the staff was amazing. The food was great! I'm for sure coming back. Only thing (and it's not a big deal) is they don't serve community tea but one of the other brands that are not so good. For sure give this place a try. The chicken sandwich, and potato salad was amazing.

    Affordable, delicious fried chicken. The 20 piece meals are humongous and is definitely enough food for 4 people! The breading is very crunchy, crispy and delicious. The chicken is very moist, and flavorful. Potato salad is perfectly seasoned. Perfect food for any occasion!

    Only problem is that when you order the small of the side orders, it's TOO small. Not a problem, if you order the larger sizes though.
