We came into town from California to visit family. I wanted to try your food and you did not disappoint. My husband ordered the meatloaf with brown gravy, rice and yams. I ordered the fried chicken (dark meat) and yams. For dessert we shared your peach cobbler. Everything was delicious and reasonably priced. Thank you Chicken Shack for your southern hospitality..we can’t wait until we come back to try your other dishes.

Knuckles sucking good… damn near at my own fingers off! I’ve been eating at this spot since I was a kind, and my dad is close friends with the owner, but that’s not the half of it. Yes, this place is in the hood, and yes, it has recently been discovered by other people outside the hood, so it has become bigger. However, Mr. Delpit never switched up and never changed. He kept his franchise local and only spread to 3 places, but if im not mistaken, he closed the one-off plank road.
The only complaint is,if you dont call in and order, then you will have to place an order, and it could be as quick as a 2 minute wait or 30 minute wait. BUT EVEN A 30 MINUTE WAIT is worth it. The chicken is amazing and the staff is friendly and professional. They are always busy, but they make sure to speak when they see you. On the up, man, they went into the wing business, and it didn’t disappoint. We had all the flavors, and it puts any of your big block chain wings to sleep. When you go say hey to Troy and tell him them, Johnsons sent you! He’ll know the judges! FYI, theres daily specials, poboys, porkchop dinners, oh, and sweet potato pies!
Knuckle sucking good !

By far my new favorite fried chicken. Every piece is a work of art. Perfectly crispy and extremely juicy deliciousness in every bite. The Mac and cheese, red beans and rice, collard greens and the Cajun rice were all fantastic. I also loved the catfish poboy that was loaded with fresh delicious catfish. The little sweet potatoes pies ended the meal with a home run. The lady that ran the place was a delight and a sweetheart. The menu has many other items I want to try.

Uniquely thier own!!! Just flat out the BEST fried chicken, and sides (homemade!) you’ll experience in BTR. Imitated, never duplicated, and still at reasonable pricing.

I would have to say no! Customer service was okay. We walked around the building to find a seat and each windowsill had black bugs, tables were dirty, and sticky. I’ve never eaten a breaded pork chop on bread..it’s always been fried and placed on sliced bread. The pork chop was not properly cooked, gummy, and red on the inside. My coworker and I both returned the pork chop with the stated concerns and didn’t want anything else and LET them keep the money as well. It was that dissatisfying. The side is an extremely small cup (maybe for a toddler) and was not satisfying. The sweet potato pie was tiny for the price and was diabetic sweet. There was too much of sugar in that pie. I would advise this location to pay closer attention to their audience, which the majority is African Americans who are prone to being diagnosed with diabetes. In addition, items with high levels of sugar makes it hard to actually taste the food. There seems to be a problem with producing quality food due to the influx of customers but that’s no excuse when it’s causing you to lose a customer and potential customers. I wouldn’t return for any reason and haven’t recommended any of my family/friends there. Eat at your own risk

Chicken shack was everything. The rice and gravy was so yummy. I haven’t had mustard green in a minuet. I’m from Washington, DC. I enjoyed my smother chicken. Would come back.

Top notch cooks been doing it for years with mother recipes. More like gourmet food they’re probably going to need a bigger seating area.

This place has been a part of my life for over 50 years. They’ve only gotten better. They still have the best shrimp poboys in the country. Get a large because once you start eating, you’ll want more once you come to the end of a small one, LOL.

The picture speaks for itself. Two piece mixed – breast and thigh. Crispy, moist, flavorful. Best chicken I’ve EVER had. Born and raised in Baton Rouge living in Houston the past 10 years. Anytime I’m in town, I’m in Chicken Shack!
